Its not me...

for those of you non existent people who wait with baited breath for my next blog post...im sorry i havent written for a while because id rather not write until i really have something important to say. And as for the rest of you...well heres another piece of my personality for you to decipher.
ive met up with some old friends recently and they asked me whether or not i was still into the whole hullabaloo of drinking and what not. Lets set the record straight first...i was never 'into' it...i tried it to understand what everyone was always harping on about...and then i left it because i realized...it wasnt me.
Let me explain it again...some people arent interested in religion...its not for them...and in the same way...im not interested in the decadent gora lifestyle anymore...because that just isnt me. with time ive come to realize that we were made for something more...the ummat e muslima had a higher purpose...something way more important than getting high on alchohol on drugs or alchohol. i swear to you and i recommend that you try it too...there have been times that Allah has given me a high that nothing else will ever be able to give me.
Thus i request the following from all those who come across this post. I will not join you in ure next hotbox or ure getting hammered escapade. But i will still always be there if you need me if u need to be driven home or cannot walk straight after such an episode :p
Do not invite me to a party because i swear i will not feel left out infact i will love you for the fact that u enjoyed ure evening with the loud chatter of ngo type aunties who have nothing better to do than to live off of foriegn donor loans - and at the same time understood that i do not like being at such events.
Do not call me to a gathering of the rich and elite intellectual uncles who keep talking of change and history, yet would not dare leave their extravagant abode in fear that they be seen with a lowly beggar knocking at the window and may accidently be mistaken and outcast for talking to the 'common man'.
I am not a gora sahab and i do not like being associated with people with mistaken identities.i do not want to act like one, dance like one, talk like one, or have a drink like one.
I am one of Gods better creations and i have better things to do with my life.
Very nice. I'm a bit like this too- extremely disdainful of people who ask me why I've never felt the need to get high. And I say the same thing you've written'I am one of Gods better creations and i have better things to do with my life.'
