Musings of My Beloved

My beloved has incredible musings, musings so awe-inspiring I forget to breathe. And though musings isn't the correct word for this particular example of his incredible, awe-inspiring statement, I will still use it. Because in honor of my beloved whom is most beloved to me I present a new series: "Musings of my beloved."


So the first musing to incredibly awe-inspire you is:


Last week we began to watch the "Earth" series that my beloved gifted me as part of my many birthday presents (that's right, PART of my MANY presents (that's right, be jealous (oh, you say you don't care for material goods and one present is good enough for you? (you're just saying that cause your beloved aint buyin u no mo' than one presENT (oh yes, I DID go there) ) ) ) ). And just on a sidenote: you totally have to watch the Earth series, it's AWESOME!

Ok, so one of the segments was about animals that migrate towards water blah blah and an animal was filmed which my beloved so excitedly and without hesitation pointed out as:


Pocahontas!

He even lifted his arm and pointed at the animal in the movie. What was this animal my beloved pointed out as Pocahontas?

El Hippopotamus

Rachel Getting Married

Alright so, has anyone ever heard of RedBox? It's like a vending machine for DVDs and they usually have them in grocery stores and walgreens. Anyways, the rental is $1 a day and if you sign up for their mailing list they give you a passcode for free rentals on a specific day. So, me (wanting to save a dollar) decided I would rent Rachel Getting Married for free.

I thought the movie would be great since I heard/read a lot of good reviews for it. Boy o boy o boy. The first 1/3 of the movie was good, it had some artsy flair to it and I thought Anne Hathaway's acting was phenomenal. The next 1/3 was aiiiiite. I was really hoping for something to happen...just happen! Something! PLEASE!! Then the last 1/3 was HORRIBLE. I FASTFORWARDED THE LAST THIRD OF THE MOVIE! it was THAT horrible. I literally...I kid you not....I literally fastforwarded the last third of the movie. YAWN........

Btw, as someone from a non-white background, I find it absolutely HILLARIOUS that these people in the movie wanted a "desi" wedding. THERE WEREN'T EVEN ANY DESIS IN THE ENTIRE MOVIE. But all the girls were in saris including the bride. And all the groomsmen whatever were in sherwanis. It was the stereotypical hippy middle class white people scenario. Except the groom was black but whatever, he's still white when I'm talking about things like this.

Has anyone else seen this movie?

Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan Mosque

The Sheikh Zayed Mosque in Abu Dhabi is absolutely beautiful. It's like someone built the sultan from Aladdin's palace in real life.

The Sheikh Zayed Mosque has broken some world records: it has the largest carpet in the world and the largest chandelier in the world.

Here are some pictures of the new mosque which isn't complete yet:

Here is the source of the pictures.

And here you can read more about the mosque.

Have a Laugh 2

I remember this show from way before on MTV. Apparently they had a second season I wasn't aware of.




I wish such commercials actually existed!

Congratulations!

Congratulations to my cousin in Toronto who gave birth to a baby boy on Sunday, April 19th.
