What was I looking for? unedited blog crap from my msn space

What was I looking for?

The path is long; the road rough and blinking signs everywhere: some distracting, some enticing and some for the hopeless wanderer who keeps walking on. To where, the scent draws him/us, closer without reason except for reasonable doubt, curiosity reaching out pulling us/him/‘children of the age’/rats like muses, pied pipers and sirens. The rapture of endless possibility, what can be, as opposed to what is/was but something far away in a distance, across oceans, landscapes, skies and realms? Seven proceeds, forever grounding us to our fate, or what we believe to be set for us to kill that charge, to stifle the impetus of dreams, we wander still hoping, some call them moods, others insanity loneliness? boredom?, dynamism, the want for something different, to make a difference, to control a desirable brothel of devout followers, led blindly to the image, that dim green light which recedes as you approach it, imaginary untouchable and always distant. That’s capitalism in a nutshell, a drive towards something that is infinite in amount and distance, conjured by something better and better but never the best. You can never content yourself with what you have because there is so much more awaiting you, up for grabs. That opportunity you missed, that game-show you should’ve been on, the millions you could’ve made. The money/time you lost because you didn’t take a lucky initiative.

First rule: the more money you have, the more money you can make, money in the bank grows on interest, the bank profits ruthlessly more (especially in ‘Islamic banking where they ‘don’t’ even give customers a bite of their profit (in the name of interest), and your money loses value with the course of inflation, in which case there ‘is’ no incentive to keep money in the bank ‘better to invest it in plots of land and other profit making devices. Invest in stocks? (No stockbroker claims to really know anything about stocks, albeit many are employed because they can sell anyway.)Invest in anything use ‘capital’. The more money you have, the more interest you’ll get, if you don’t have at least a certain amount of money you will get no interest at all and your money will in time ‘lose’ value, and incur the loss, from what you could’ve made from it, if you accumulated enough, to put in a bank. “The rich get richer, the poor get poorer.”

Second rule: steal people’s ideas publicize them, Bill Gates did, and it is the American way. If you can’t think something up rob someone who can and take all the credit ‘cause the other person was a sitting duck. You gave the idea value by selling it, without being sold, it wouldn’t ‘have’ value/a price tag. As unethical, ruthless and stupendous that logic is, it works. As the saying goes: It’s a dog eat dog town.

Third rule; Move it, hut two three four, yes motility is the key to success; it was Hewlett & Packard that made the wandering manager rule. They were/are right, not just to gain information but to use it. We all know how easy it is to become a celebrity? Why don’t we jump at the chance, we have ‘more’ interesting lives than most writers why not bring it to the screen, simply because we don’t want to move and be pushed around? Easy industries fear competition, because it’s so easy to show them up. The easier a job, the harder it is to get it, because the founding thespians/entrepreneurs monopolize it. Own it. ‘We were here first’ is all it comes down to.

Who doesn’t have talent? Who doesn’t have a face/personality that projects ordinary people, who can’t play themselves? God’s script is the best script ever written without contest, and we all have our scripts and we play our roles better than anyone can/could. So what’s up with watching other people do things we can relate to? Individualism? Narcissism? Or simply laziness? Maybe it makes us feel like we belong, as though we aren’t alone, someone ‘cares’ enough about us to imitate us on screen; ‘imitation is the best form of flattery’, make it glitzy and glamorous and it all the more flattering, it allows us to brag to ourselves about how we could do/are doing so much better/more. And then resent them for the money they make and don’t really deserve as our jobs serve greater purpose, ‘we’ perform higher functions. And they make money off standing ovations, simply by applauding ‘us’ and we applaud them for their minute effort? ‘Make it real’ cut the superficiality/glitz out, the closer they get to being us, the more we clap and the more money ‘they’ make.

That’s what reality shows are for… who better than a doctor to play one, an actual patient works better than a dummy with ketchup spurted on his/her belly?, is privacy really ‘that’ big an issue? If ‘creative’ artists can see the real thing to spruce up a fake blood sauce, why can’t the audience see it? If you’re willing to enact it why not show the real thing? It costs less money, is far more genuine, why not? Maybe the seriousness of our jobs is at stake. Maybe it’s the aforementioned ‘first rule’? We feel that because we don’t use/acquire/require a lot of money to do what we do best we are being exploited. We are robbed of the money we could’ve made if we were frauds/ actors/not playing ourselves but ineffectively attempting to play others. So doctors/professionals write scripts for shows and profit from the ‘art’ rather than the ‘actuality’ while using their credibility to claim to portray the real thing. Of course they couldn’t do this if they were working at the time; Emergency room medical personnel wouldn’t have that kind of time. So the ruse is unveiled they project their version of the past and inject general knowledge/hearsay/ secondhand information into the fictitious enactment of the present/future.

So, we live in an age of corruption, nepotism, gambling, dissatisfaction/anomie /disenchantment and we tolerate it in the name of meritocratic ‘competition’/capitalism. Those who have money generate it; those who don’t, are stuck in themselves, unless they walk the extra mile or simply get lucky, play that winning bid/gamble. Who wants the stats? How many upwardly mobile entrepreneurs took a ‘risk’ requiring only ‘dumb luck’ to get to where they are? All of them. And how many ‘risk takers’ actuality make it? A few, is it because of ‘meritocracy’? Is it the intelligent, the talented, the genius or simply the big street-smart bully with his gang of lumber heads that takes all? What is the ‘capitalist’ debate? It’s a stability model, Survival of the fittest ‘sell yourself’, forget ethics, chuck morality, use sources eat off your daddy’s pocket. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer, we know why, you know why? Then what is the problem why stick with a disparate system that does not work?

Insecurity arrogance, we are afraid of ‘real’ competition, we are afraid of getting our worth, in the words used to describe the alternate system of government of the Marxist Lenin ‘To each according to his/her needs, from each according to his/her ability”. Russia had 100 % literacy, 100%employment and was the best scientific innovator in the world at that time, under that rule, in his time. The statistics speak for themselves. We’d rather stick to chance/faith/the gamble than rise/fall to ourselves: our actual worth, true merit. To live in a world where words actually mean something, where right is right and wrong is wrong, justice ‘is’ served. No, we find comfort in lies, fraud and acting. We find comfort in the idea of being ‘blessed’ with no effort/fault of our own. We alienate ourselves from truth because we are afraid of how it might hurt: always going for grabs, crying over missed ‘opportunity’, deriving satisfaction from winning that whopping fortune from a silly old lottery ticket. We don’t care about merit, of ‘whether’ we ‘deserve’ money. We use the word in our defense, but no, it isn’t merit: It’s gambling and no ethic/religion/moral can defend it.

How is ability or need measured? I don’t agree with that philosophy/concept, simply because there is no real measure of aptitude or requirement. There’s test-taking , but that measures test-taking skills, your ability to reproduce and memorize information collected and discovered by somebody else, that is what will take you to Harvard/MIT(no Einstein or Thomas Edison there, neither went to any fancy schmancy schools, no ‘inventor’/’creative’/.‘genius’ ever did, feel free to contest me on that, even Harvard admits it’s true) and/or having a rich parent with connections not test taking skills, but people with connections, with rich daddies with similar jobs ‘do’ better, than people who get good scores at ivy league schools, because they have know-how, nepotism works, look at Bush he’s no exception, what holds him up? His government, his lobby, the senate that supports him, he’s not doing a one-man job; it’s the entire constitution, who in the UN council voted for the war in Iraq? The US vetoed the majority vote. Who in the US senate did ‘not’ vote for the Iraq war? Was it Kerry, no…Ladies and gentlemen, the senate controls the president. Bush’s first term, a lot of Muslims voted for him, because of Hilary Clinton’s New York address, in which she supported Israel against Palestine to win the New York Jewish majority and become senator. The second time ‘round Bush Jr. had a Christian evangelist following, after Condoleezza Rice, President’s ‘speech writer’ (and daughter of a ‘priest/preacher’ was it? No…but something similar), wrote Mr. Bush a tirade with the word ‘crusades’ on emphasis: The next president of the United States? Who knows?

No, it is not about ability or need but simply fairness, ‘equal’ opportunity, we were ‘All’ created with ‘equal’ rights , we should have an equal education , an equal standing in society and equal opportunity to do what we can with Passion and ‘skill’. I’m not saying everybody should be a doctor, but everyone should be given the ‘chance’ to make that ‘choice’ irrespective of class/status/money/where friends and family stand. We should take/give tests, that is how we commend/use the knowledge accumulated by great minds and excelling in the right tests makes us job-worthy, information/time efficiency is what is tested and is ‘very’ useful. Maybe like most of Europe we should have a socialist government where education and basic provisions are free for all? Quality control, standard and standardization: Who/what will insure that? Corrupt officials; is it a matter of trust or being trustworthy? Insecurity jumps right back , it’s as though we trust ourselves to foul up and therefore ‘try’ nothing, ‘stability’ model ,peace: leave things as they are and whine about it. That is our dictum and our fault.

A system of equal opportunity, ‘capitalism’ assumes a zero-sum game, i.e. all jobs are occupied(classical economic full employment assumption), all resources are efficiently used, the scenario is as ‘perfect’ as it can be and success and failure is up to the players even though there is a grand divide between the haves and have-nots. China is still 80% communist and her ‘open’ economy works with a parody of rules, regulations and restrictions, this is not a ‘golden’ example of capitalist victory as is so frequently propagated as. The alternate assumptions are simple, there isn’t full employment, jobs are created as people ‘need’ (demandàsupply) work, not people employed as ‘required’. Confusingly the demand supply could work in the opposite direction as jobs ‘pay’, employees are the ‘product/sales item’ not the customers therefore prospective employees should make themselves desirable and hirable. The truth is that it works both ways both employees and jobs are ‘in’ demand , both are created to fulfill/balance-out that demand and both increase over time , the efficiency of this process is questionable. Is the best available person for the job hired setting corruption and nepotism aside? There is still the ‘likeability factor, ‘there is no accounting for taste’, and as Max Weber pointed out complete objectivity cannot be reached, taste will always override commonsense and research, if you ‘don’t like a person, maybe he smells or picked his nose or doesn’t ‘fit’ your individual criterion/taste you will instead hire somebody who does, because you’ll feel more comfortable with/ (have more trust/confidence in) an employee you ‘like’. Even you go against your preference, you will be less tolerant of this person and he/she wouldn’t last very long, irrespective of his/her degree/qualification.

Then there is the ‘right’ applicants are you getting a slice of the ‘right’ cake? Job descriptions/pre requisites are not detailed, the kind of person you want to hire may not even know it. It is a matter of information and motility as well pride and prejudice. People don’t know what they’re best suited for and neither do companies or even career organizations, an organized efficient system would not have these problems. If every member of a population was trained under the same system of schooling, measured by the same criteria then a true evaluation would be possible as was the case in Russia. Presently, it is not possible to evaluate where you stand. After the evaluation process career/job selection would be much easier, as ‘standardized’ schools do not have problems with being ‘recognized’ or ‘good enough’ simply because they are all the same. Equal education and equal opportunity, even if extra-tuitions are not permitted students will be home schooled, and yes ‘advantages’ and disparities will still be there, but a lot of ‘schooling’ prejudice will end. As there will be no complexes about better/worse school/schooling, everyone will believe in a fair chance and put in all they’ve got to be ‘good enough’ for the professions they want to get into respectively. Belief is a strong thing and ‘organization patriotism’ is vile that makes the ‘system’ superior to the individual. You cannot allow people to identify themselves as ‘cogs in a big machine’, we are not that, the individual is higher than the system; individuals create systems not vice versa. ‘Elitist’ ‘English medium’ ‘Cambridge system’ ‘London School system’ remnants of our anglophile heritage, meaningless totems we use to get that extra pomp. there are intermediate students getting scholarships to IVY league schools, their system of education is actually closer to the ‘American’ high school, a lot of ‘accented’ American citizens actually study intermediate when they come here,

1) Well it is because the Cambridge system requires that they take their O’ level exams and ‘then’ two years of A ’levels

2) It costs a lot more

But ‘our’ false complexity filled ‘British’ snobbery compels us to look down on them as they resent and look down on us. Then their ‘British’ inferiority complex, they want to be ‘American’ and think they’re too snotty to be colloquial. I, for one, have from childhood to now been bugged about my ‘so-called’ American accent. Nothing’s acceptable, everything’s inferior AND YET IMPRESSIVE: Leg-pulling horny ‘British’ comedy/mockery.

I had a friend; she went to school on a public bus and a girl in metric SPAT on her, why? O’ level snob. My ‘friend was ‘not’ good-looking, humble, shy and not at all offensive. Her crime was simple: O’ level snob. It’s the same the other way around.

Driving off to somewhere new, I wonder where the spoke of wheel will stop me, or maybe I await the ‘dhujh’ of my engine when the petrol needle halts at empty. Nothing breaks me, plastic bags flying in the deserted sandy landscape worthy of its name. I drive on unafraid unmoved awaiting something… what is it that I wait for? Advancement change? Beauty? Freedom? fragmented torn and chivalrous I stand without direction and face for I have lost myself time and time again awaiting silly signs and totems ruled by indecision , torn apart , whimsically avoiding my task.

“Actions speak louder than words’ seems that every military leader we’ve had says that, not that the politicians are bearable or that it isn’t a ‘welcome’ change. It wakes us up to what we know and knows we will not ‘act’. Funny and ironic the gist of the civilian mentality, we are back to the ‘stability’ model. Peace is only achieved when problems are resolved it isn’t passively awaiting the barbarians. ‘Act’ don’t starve yourself get up and eat, do everything to survive , that ‘is’ what religion dictates, on the one hand there is tolerance on the other: “fight with those who fight with you’.

V for vendetta, interesting film, does it offer any new information? I think not, but it sums up a lot quite nicely: neatly.

Bush?

who in the American senate did not vote for the Iraq?

was it Kerry

was it Al gore

was it Bush?

the war would've happened democrats or republicans

Bush's first term: a lot of 'muslims' were specifically voting for Bush jr , because of Hilary Clinton's pro-Israel, antiPalestinian stance in NewYork(the voters there are mostly Jewish , she wanted tto be and bacame a senator)

Is Bush a pawn? all presidents are when you have Countries with 'strong' parlimiantry legislation , an org like the CIA , which will drop u dead if you make one false move and a trillion biggerthings than the media's raving evangelistic sadist 'fortunate son' playing his act.

The point: politics will always be dirty ruthless and 'secretive'



so why don't we just talk abt something interesting and worthwhile instead?

like 'growing trees' :D

Forward the revolution,our time is now
Fertilized soil can be dried up to sand: This process cannot be reversed. Sand is useless in agriculture (unless you want to grow a cactus). Then, why do we waste our soil? Why do we throw away seeds? There is not enough food/fruit, not enough plantation and too much pollution, a depleting ozone layer, global warming, and what do we do? Ignore the basics. Plant a tree for crying out loud! We’ve known about how easy it is from kindergarten, plant a seed, used fertilizer depending on the PH level of the soil, water it (if you have enough water to live on , you have enough to water a plant) give it sun and air , if there are any further complications, read up on gardening , it’s doesn’t take a genius its not rocket science. We have fundraisers to build (ghost) schools, why not seed raisers to plant trees in those schools and elsewhere.

Electricity, it is easier to generate it than to steal it. What’s common though? Why? Lack of information, knowledge, take a pair of apples stick too cheap electrodes in it and let there be light, Thomas Edison worked at a railway station, how rich could he be? The problem with us is we’d rather charge whatever energy we have in a violent or criminal cause, we think it’s easier and smarter to us nitrogen fertilizer to blow things up than it is to use it to make Eden on earth. We have the misconception that it is easier to steal/destroy than create/grow, simply because the former is faster, to quote the lyrics of a song I forget “One tree to make a thousand matches, It only takes one match to burn a thousand trees” I say ay, forward the revolution to this, I say we don’t lack brain power/aptitude, what we do lack is a positive spirit, the surge to embrace the simplicity of functioning goodwill, we’d blame Big bad bush or Al-Qaeda for all our problems , who are the target? Us: civilians, and who are the recruits? Don’t look to far the answer is just the same, if governments and terrorists are bad because the play at the masses (Shakespeare’s mob) with jolts of fear and bouts of destruction, we are bad because we play along , we join in.

Who gives Bush power? His government. Who gives government power? People. The people are us. WE: the youth of the nation, the drawing/sitting room intellectual critics, it is us. What do we do to make things better? What do we do with our knowledge? Frustrate ourselves label ourselves cogs in a big machine , with no spirit of innovation or entrepreneurship we scout for jobs and complain of their unavailability, when we ‘can’ create jobs for ourselves, silicon valley wasn’t built in a day? Do our engineers not know how to build solar panels, why buy the technology when we can build it at home, improvise it, innovate it, develop it, we have the resources, and we have the information, what stops us? Laziness support/ funds? What pushes us down? Did apple have ANY OF THOSE THINGS to begin with , the answer is that we push ourselves down , we undermine our own abilities ‘cause we’d rather work at a ‘multi-national corp.’ or a chemical plant then use ‘simple’ ideas to better ourselves. Do it as a side thing? Do something? What is the point of knowledge that is practically beneficial when we’re sitting ducks, not using it, not putting ideas to action? Praxis: our savior , as long as we laze around wait for others to take action , we see the fault in their ways , criticism equals frustration , Do it yourself , rise , speak , work implement , the time , is now. Your time is now. Unfortunately only children/young people who have neither experience skill nor degrees to actually work efficiently and maturely are the ones that are interested, the rest of us, the people who can, would rather mingle at silly parties say spiteful things, frustrate ourselves with politics and like any distressed damsel await a hero/angel/miracle to save us. “Waiting for the barbarians” we whine passively deft in our purpose, crowned with a fool’s glory, writhing in self molded pain

And what would passionate hot-blooded young Semi-skilled half-educated labor do? Children of the Y-generation brought up to question and weep over the treachery of Israel, the unfairness that rules our planet derives our attention, grown up knowing about , relishing over matters we have no actual control of, what happens when you frustrate yourself with your lack of control? Deviance: destruction, emotional withdrawal, anomie, deregulation disenchantment, fighting, war and for what? Another song’s lyrics “War, what is good for, absolutely nothing”: The little people dependent on authority on illogical rules and laws that stifle us, choking confining, what Islamic org motivates growth or education, or the self-reliant beautiful teachings of the Quran? Two words: jihad and superpower, that’s all we hear from our Maulvis and yes there are missionaries (expeditions funded by our Zakaat) sent to the states to tell people that ‘dogs’; should not be kept as pets as they are ‘Na-pak’. Yes, that’s where the money goes, educated and pillaged by idiocy and ignorance, we are the fools ladies and gentleman, we fund the taking of our children’s lives by overextended drug abuse, in Kashmir, in Afghanistan , in Waziristan and we account for the ‘welfare’ of sadistic ‘religious scholars’ that we deem ignorant. It is in fact ‘Us’ , as we don’t care about how our banks spend our money , we don’t care about what our ‘Zakaat’ is funding ,we don’t bother to take that one extra step. We think ‘politics’ and using a fancy vocabulary makes us ‘concerned’ citizens.

Well, rise march take off your blindfolds, stop duping yourself, you are the enemy and the victim, hoodwinked and foolish. Epitomic ideal figurines representative of how ‘jahaalat’ (the age of ignorance), lives on and we breed it.

belief orange and tango
" I'd like to be under the sea in an octopus's garden by the shore"-the beatles har pal muskurahut jaan ke paar asli zindagi maazoor aur bad haal manzoor hai ya naheen , dil farogh zinda aaj idhar eik saya eik roshan diya eik aazmaish eik dor ki eik mustaqbil ki eik aur char chand ki roshni sooraj dhaley aur muzboot aazmaish kaam aur dil jaan ki jiyo jaago laroo marro lekin darna manna hai- me"five minutes ago? here we are again you and I wondering why do u wonder and visit and lurk??? we're all in hiding either from or with ourselves burried in commericialism drama and crowd life

or sitting alone in the dark

I'm not into literature either , Junaid(in testimonials) called me 'La belle dame sans merci" so I was hoping you'd differ , all I want are simple discussions on the news, math and things to that effect, numerology even, did you get my report.
I'm not into literature, I like shakepeare but I'm too literal and objective to go one the wandering 'lit 'freak path.

I was studying computers last year , figured I'd switch to law , couldn't leave math alone , so I opted for econ, math1 math2 stats1 stats2 'very' technical
even eco is a bit.
I don't like theoretical physics and 'God' philosophy... it feels like speculation without reall boundaries.Just my opinion , not an ultimate 'truth'

I don't know last summer, there was a train crash around Karachi and the number of dead were far more significant , it happened cos the conducter/driver couldn't read a signal and 'our' trains are very old. I think just as 'bollywood' projects , (in movies like 'Dil hai hindustani,even rang de basanti) that the first politically correct move is to blame it on 'terrorism and pakistanis , though technically there was not a single Pakistani in the sept11 attacks or even in the Indian plane hijacking , Arabs and afghans are 'not' Pakistani... the idea is to bring the neverending conflict of kashmir to the table.
Its time , India, its media and its politicians stop dragging 'Pakistanis' into it , 'cause that gives Fox news and Bush an excuse to drag us in , and we are geographically in a delicately strategic position as 'we' were during the last world war... we have enough crap,refugees and drugs fleeting from the Afghan border , afghanis , the Taliban who don't even recognize us as muslim , who blame Pakistan and Ayub Khan's failings for their post-war disaster.Pakistan as usual (it always happens during military rule) was being america's scared little lapdog, and still is
Its understood that drugs trade orgs fund terrorist activities in and around Afghanistan , but no one's doing anything about the poppy feilds?
the Taliban , their link to al-Quaeda? no proof , no admittance nothing
bin Laden? who is he? 'where' is he?not Pakistani that's for sure.
It's all a ploy to get Afghanistan and Pakistan undercontrol , cos we're right in the middle of everything literally. Everyone knows that the Iraq war was/is for oil
and now Iran? if they had weapons , the weapons would be a threat in themselves and no 'idiot' Bush would dare to attack.
Except if there was a nuclear forcefield like in Asimov's science fiction story "There breeds a man" it would suffer a huge loss in energy that it would be best avoided even then/if.
they will not have Pakistan's support unless Musharraf darling wants anarchy and chaos, see Balochistan used to be a part of Iran , and the tribes in waziristan and joining up with tribes in NWFP and Afghanistan , because they feel wronged and as Mushy pointed out 'they are and have been wronged" and the military a divide weakened force wouldn't 'want' to stop them.And couldn't anyway , '50' officials 'kidnapped' in Iraq, how can bush expect dear old Mush to control anything here?
You want explanations? it's no conspiracy it's all around you , open ur eyes use ur head and work with things you 'do' have control over like global warming/dimming, go green , plant the seeds that you so often throw away , they come cheap there's not enuf food in the world and there's a whole lot of pollution , not to mention dried up soil becomes sand and cannot be recovered. I know its a gradual process but do you rally want the world to turn into a desert washing away by a meg tsunami?
cos hey you like everyone else would rather bicker and speculate abt dumb old powerhungry politicians and their transperant mindgames.7:31 AM | Add a comment | Send a message | Permalink | Trackbacks (0) | Blog it
