Thank you Umer for sharing it. Laughed out crazy after a looong time.

President Evil - Prevalence

I hear rumors of Paul W.S. Anderson writing another sequel to Resident Evil. After the hit "Resident Evil - Extinction" in which Alice (Milla Jovovich) finds her clones he had an epiphany and thought of a great twist and duly end to the relentless plot. Only this time, he turns to the real world for characters.

The sequel will have Genny Mush as the new chick and Dubya Bush as the new guy who gets bitten, gets infected with AIDS (play safe, as they say it) and dies of prostate cancer. Condi is the new black chick who gets sacrificed along with her lover, Dick ... Cheney. They kicked Ali Larter and picked up BB for the role of Claire who leads the group to Alaska, which by the way doesn't survive (bad leader, bad!). Heres another twist to the twisted story, Dr. Isaacs, who got killed by his own invention (the blue laser grid), comes back. Rumsfeld is the reincarnation of Dr. Isaacs ... how cool is that? (not very).

The story is set in the real world and events occur in real time (man I love that line from the show "24"). The world worries about larger things at stake while Bush takes his country to war with every country thats rich in petroleum resources, his longtime girlfriend and a heart throb(in the evil world) Genny Mush provides him support by genocide of his own countrymen (he is not a traitor...damn you if you think like it ... NOT!). Together they kill all Alices who stand in their way of turning the world into a HUGE water park (inspired from the show "Lil' Bush", Episode #4: Global Warming).

All in all its a sequel set to be the one you never want to see.

Year 2030: Karachi among future underwater cities

Here are excerpts from an article: "Rising seas threaten 21 mega-cities"

"They include Dhaka in Bangladesh; ... Karachi in Pakistan; ... and New York and Los Angeles in the United States, according to studies by the United Nations and others."

"More than one-tenth of the world's population, or 643 million people, live in low-lying areas at risk from climate change, say U.S. and European experts."

Read the full story here.

I urge everyone to watch "An Inconvenient Truth" (above picture from the documentary), which is by far the best documentary available today on global warming. Now I'm no fan of politicians, but Mr. Al Gore has delivered a truly eye opening presentation on the subject. It is not high on jargons and is mostly very easy to follow. Moreover, it sheds light on the authenticity and truthfulness of the notion "global warming is nothing but a scam". It disses by facts and figures the argument that it is a cyclical phenomenon and is the norm by proving whats happening now has not happened within the last 650,000 years. Lastly, it reveals some major secrets worth knowing.

It is a must watch for everyone, especially the citizens of the cities mentioned in the article above. you should all know what one degree temperature rise at the equator means at the north and south poles. I guarantee that you'll be amazed by the translation. I must say, after watching the documentary I think "The day after tomorrow" might not be that far.

"Stars" by Switchfoot

I couldn't have said it better...

Maybe I've been the problem
Maybe I'm the one to blame
But even when I turn it off and blame myself
The outcome feels the same
I've been thinking maybe I've been partly cloudy
Maybe I'm the chance of rain
And maybe I'm overcast
And maybe all my luck's washed down the drain

Chorus:
I've been thinking 'bout everyone
Everyone, you look so lonely
But when I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
I see someone else
When I look at the stars, the stars
I feel like myself

Stars looking at a planet watching entropy and pain
And maybe start to wonder how
The chaos in our lives could pass as sane
Ive been thinking about the meaning of resistance
Of a world beyond my own
And suddenly the infinite and penitent
Began to look like home

Chorus:
I've been thinking 'bout everyone
everyone, you look so empty
But when I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
I see someone else
When I look at the stars, the stars
I feel like myself

Stars...stars

Everyone everyone you feel so lonely
Everyone, yeah, everyone you feel so empty

When I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
I feel like myself
when I look at the stars, the stars
I see someone...

Message from the Unofficial President

Thank you for your support and heartfelt congratulations...but it wasn't really necessary...i had the situation under control (by paying really irrelevant people to show their faces on television in my support)...we've done the economy great and there are more banks than there is money in citizen's pocket...we have alleviated poverty through inflation and ... well basically we just started killing the poor so that there will be no poverty. People who have doubts should always remember Red Mosque, the karachi bridge collapse, 8th october 2005 earthquake (yeap they're still under development and will always remain that way).

We've privatized almost every thing (if it wasn't for the %^#^-ass chief justice we'd have sold the steel mill). We've also been successful in establishing rule of law-lessness...by virtue of which the lawless are the lawful (don't argue or we'll render you a terrorist). Thanks to us...now the lawyers and judges are a political party too, which proves our very (non-existent) democratic policies.

We (the army) is pleased to announce totalitarian control over civillians and you can do nothing about it. Thank you for listening (...even though it was your obligation).

Note: I wrote it in a reply to the on going debate "Mushy for president or no?" ... thought was worthy of being saved.

distress ... unlimited.

On thursday night, while i was returning from work, my cell phone got snatched. I was three houses away, infront of my friend's house, when two "dudes" on a bike stopped the bike beside me. They had stalled the engine before coming to a stop, so i didn't even know some one stopped by, until they said something.

It was dark but not dark enough for me to not be able to see their faces. Oh I know their faces, I remember them. They were wearing dark clothes and both were dark coloured. the asked me for my cell phone three times. I tried to pretend that i wasn't getting them, which is true because i was being charmingly sarcastic with them. Though the charms didn't work and after the third time they flashed their "shiny metallic toy" and I gave it to them.

Its sad for me...the whole weekend i was sad and depressed. Sad because i have had that cell phone for about four and a half years and depressed due to the fact that my neighbourhood, my street, is not safe anymore. It kills me inside to think that i wasn't even able to protest and that filing a report wont do any good. The police are worst than the thieves and robbers (Story). I seriously hope that they eventually be corpulent asses so that they're not able to do normal things even.

Rain & Clouds

Rows and floes of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I've looked at clouds that way
...
by Joni Mitchel

Yesternight, it rained again here in Karachi. Well, morning to be exact. Streets are semi flooded, but if some one lives or works on higher floor of tall buildings, they maybe able to appreciate the view. Especially if they can view Pahar Ganj. Pahar Ganj is a really low and rather steep mountain that runs trhough Karachi. Today a cloud is touching that mountain at one corner.

The environment is pretty clean today, and I'm able to see the mountains that are beyond Pahar Ganj. Clouds are touching that mountain at two places. The view is very beautiful from the 14th floor.

Bad luck, my team lead left his camera home today.

Management 101

Today, as I was waiting for the van to pick me up from the stop, I happened to notice a one-of-its-kind situation. No wait I'm lying...it wasn't one-of-the-kind situation, it happens everywhere...especially in Pakiland. The bus stop is infront of a small hospital and theres a small garden infront of the hospital. In the garden there were four people standing around an electronic lawn mower.

For two to three minutes the group exchanged some dialogue which i was unable to hear due to the sound of (horridly bad) traffic. After that, one started the mower and started mowing the grass. The rest took a corner and watched the operator. They would sometimes tell him something and he'd operate it in a different way.

After six or so minutes I realized what the situation was. The three were managers of the guy operating the mower. A typical Pakistani style of management. The guy was so confused he wasn't looking at the ground, instead he kept looking at his three managers. Seeing this made me giggle because it reminded me of where I was going. Yeap, to work with more or less the same situation.
