Concerning Sakinah

He it is Who sent down As-Sakinah (calmness and tranquillity) into the hearts of the believers, that they may grow more in Faith along with their (present) Faith. And to Allah belong the hosts of the heavens and the earth, and Allah is Ever All-Knower, All-Wise.. Surah Al- Fath Ayat 4.

I like Muhsin Khans Translation best.

Im going to have ice cream today :D

Yeah - that was arb. Anyway - I gave blood yesterday. This is my tenth year that im donating. I really do love giving blood - not so much for knowing that i'm helping people. I do it for the biscuits and juice. Also - because I have the rarest blood type in the world (AB negative) the 'blood people' treat me like royalty (thats two lollipops for you Mr Khan) I figure its because they fetch a higher price for my blood. Its great to know that im special that way - one in a hundred people have my blood type..which pretty much means im screwed if I need blood.

Do gay people fight for the right to give blood? Because from what ive seen (in the questionnaire thingy) is that 'HomoGlobin' (yeah I just coined that) is excluded. Weighed myself before giving blood - I put on like seven kilos. Must be all that Scooters ive been eating lately.

How did I go from Sakinah to this? I dont know. I have a habit of starting at one place and ending at another.

Anyone else think that the raj is a total joke for blaming the IPL for his lack of votes? See what I did there - I didnt even capitalise his name. truth be told - I was going to vote for him, but I decided to waste my vote on the Al Jamah party instead. I still have the ink stain. Mj doesnt use manicure tools. Only problem is, that it looks like a small bird shat on my thumb nail. I like how the ink mark is moving up slowly as my nail grows. Its almost half way up. Which means my thumb nails grow like Sabretooths.

Nasheeds make me romantic and cloaks drive me wild. Not lustful romantic... but Mohabbat romantic - the sweet type. But I do mean wild in the same way youre thinking though.

W.I.L.D!

I'm loving Wolverine on the Xbox. Its such a fun game. I bought Motorstorm Pacific Rift for my PS3 today. Was a bit of an impulse buy. The Xbox is still my favourite console in the current generation.

all Hail Microsoft. for giving us Hotmail addresses when we were young.

Hail.
I decided I like cats. I like Hamsters, but I like cats too. But I love licorice the best from the three. I can never get tired of eating licorice. Or Gherkins.

Finally - some trivia for you guys.If you watched the Wolverine movie you probably noticed the sticker on the old couples back window - 'Not all those who wander are lost.' Sounds familiar hey - Aragorn says it in the Lord of The Rings :D I guess they used it because that scene was filmed in New Zealand. It was a cool moment.

I might be doing an M.C gig in a few weeks. Watch this space.

My Parents Anniversary was yesterday. Forty Years. Dam thats a long time.

This blog has no flow whatsoever. Which makes it all the more special to me :)

My mum just buzzed me on the intercom. She cant sleep so she wants to have tea. Let me run.

Wishing you guys Sakinah.

OK, So it turns out I'm Dead

Tonight we shot the first Werewolf attack scene. I was originally scripted to survive the attack but thats a bit implausible (assuming that an Indian werewolf is though) i like this look though - Ive got a Bill Weasley thing going on. Now to find that Fleur :D

Concerning Werewolves 2

Just completed my second day on set for the Indian Werewolf movie that im acting in, and I must say - I'm exhausted. The movie is taking shape and I think it will be released around June. We were discussing it over Spur on Saturday night and Now I think the plan is to get it into the Durban Film Festival. Not because its a high calibre production or anything, but just because the free publicity would be awesome. I'm cheap like that :)

Tonight we filmed the 'big match' (The Man United Liverpool match where Neville first changes into the werewolf) The location was 'my house' (not my real house - my room was used for the first scene of the movie) and we had this thing where my mum is really hot.. yeah - basically I play a Stifler rip off.

Turns out I dont get a death scene because they want me in a sequel (like thats going to ever happen - although it would be cool if I had a Rob Shneider thing going on, and appeared as a cameo in every single movie Masood makes. Aargh what did I just type - I just wished to be like Rob Shneider - I take that back. Rob Shneider is as good as acting as a blind car Guard is at looking after my car.


Heres a picture of the bitches who get slaughtered tonight. Coolie Hulk to the left of me is the same guy that Waseem wrote about two years ago - The Survivor Dude. The Lead actor is to my right.

Im typing this blog so that when i'm older and I scroll through my archives i'l remember the time when I acted in my first and probably last movie :)

Concerning Werewolves


I had my first scene in the movie today :)

Its called Indian Werewolf (tentative title) and it stars Neville Pillay (Of ECR fame) and Kajol Maharaj (of hopefully a 'One Night in Kajol' fame)

I play the role of Mo - The Werewolf's friend and fellow Manchester United supporter (as is evident from my 'costume' - this is actually the second time in my life I wore a soccer top - its not really my thing) As you can see - the Blue Jeans with the orange patch is going strong and has made its way into full high definition :) Yeah baby.

I had some concerns about my character - specifically the delivery of my lines - Director wanted me to be deadpan - so I tried to be like Jaffar, but I might have come out sounding a little monotonous. And I kept saying Cunt instead of Bitch, so we had to have a few retakes.

I have no doubt that this movie will bomb at the box office, but I dont care - because its a wonderful experience working on it, and I know we'l make a killing in DVD sales :D Were half way done and its already three times better than Broken Promises (not that thats much of a boast or anything - a youtube video of my neighbours dog pissing against a wall is better than Broken Promises)

Will do my death scene next week, so im looking forward to that - Theres some special effects props and we have this awesome make up person - should make for some fun facebook profile pics :)

The Way I Are (MJ Style)

This post is inspired by the following Hadith

Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, reported:
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: A woman may be married for four reasons: for her property, her status, her beauty and her religion; so try to get one who is religious, may your hand be besmeared with dust (may you enjoy welfare). Sahih Muslim


Adapted from The Way I Are by Timbaland


I ain't got no beard
I ain't got no status like the Ahlul Bait
I can't even buy you attar
But together we be the perfect soulmates
Allahu Alam

--Sister Keri Hilson --
Oh
Jaan, it's alright now
You ain't gotta flaunt for me
If you aint rich
You don’t have to give mehr fathimi
We can make a small nikah for just you and me
make dua till finance is right


-- Chorus --
Baby if you pray, you can get your way
'Cause I like someone with strong Taqwa
I'm about to pray Nafl everyday
Can you handle me with my taqwa?

I don't need GHD’s or The SUV’s
Boy I like you just with good taqwa
Let me see hijaab, or a big kitaab
'Cause I like, I like, I like...


-- Brother Timbaland --
I ain't got no Hooplang
I ain't got no Albaraka Shariah Fund
We can't go for Umrah Yearly
It don't matter 'cause i’l love you till qiyamat comes
Talk to me girl

- Sister Keri Hilson -
Oh
Jaan, it's alright now
You ain't gotta flaunt for me
If you aint rich
You don’t have to give mehr fathimi
We can make a small nikah for just you and me
make dua till finance is right

- Chorus -
Baby if you pray, you can get your way
'Cause I like someone with strong Taqwa
I'm about to pray Nafl everyday
Can you handle me with my taqwa?

I don't need GHD’s or The SUV’s
Boy I like you just with good taqwa
Let me see hijaab, or a big kitaab

'Cause I like you with that strong taqwa
