Marriage & Children
Recently a friend of mine shared the article “9 Brutally real reasons why millennials refuse to have kids” and there was the radio show on “All the Single Ladies” that was talking about how more and more woman are choosing to not get married or have children.
This is important not only because of the change that is happening and reminding us of that change but this is also a reminder that these lifestyles that we assume that are meant to be used to not always be like they are today. These

Racism
A friend of mine blog’d, so I am continuing the thread, sort of.
Racism is interesting. I mean the term “racism” itself is interesting in that different people interpret it differently. To me, racism is “discriminating someone because of their race”. This “act of discriminating” begins in our thought / belief and slowly crawls out of us or at least it tries to crawl out and it is at that point that we first have the opportunity of dealing with racism within ourselves.

Eid-ul-Adha
Went to pray in the morning. Didn’t take the day off from work, so went to the very early one that was to being at 8.
Went to work after the prayer. In the evening went to a friends for dinner. Came home close to 11 (I think).

9/11 – 15 Years Later
The world today is a very different place than it used to be. Not to say that the world would not have changed with the terrible event of that day but that day has probably had one of the most profound impact on the future in the recent future.

Apple AirPods
At $159 these are going to be the most expensive pair or head-phone thing I will have ever bought.
But I am excited about it. I only hope it switches from my various devices as well as they eluded to in the Apple Event.
I am a bit disappointed that these won’t be available till October 13th (and that they are going to be $159 for a pair).

Emotion
Joy, Love, Happiness, Guilt, Shame, Pride, Fear, Hate, Anger. These are all emotions we spontaneously feel within ourselves. We evoke them in others – knowingly and without knowledge. We manipulate them in ourselves and in others.
You cannot buy love.
Well, yes and no. But let’s get to that later. For now let’s look into “should you buy love”?
BTW, yes you CAN buy love. As a matter of fact that is exactly what we do. We buy love from one another. But not in the traditional sense. Just because we don’t always exchange “money” to get love does not mean that we are not paying for the love that we desire. We simply pay for it in a different way. Ideally with love in exchange.
Joy / Happy – though not exactly the same, I suppose they could be categorized together.
Guilt
Shame
Pride
Fear
Hate
Anger
Compassion
Sympathy / Empathy
Love
