So a friend of a friend passed away at church, and we held a memorial service in his honor. It's ironic, no matter how often onehears about death or sees it in the news, you never get use to it.

Iran seems to be doing another random crack down in order to keep women of the cloth, under the cloth.

One lady decided that was not her cup of tea.

Sugiero provides the explanation:

I do not condone violence but having the moral guardians telling you, indirectly, your a “slut” can’t be very amusing… This woman won’t take any sh*t from the female undercover police:

Even in the land of Mullah’s, the hope of freedom burns brightly.

Well, today I just discovered why time management is important. And why I need to upload more of my life on Google’s servers (this time via Google Calendar).

Basically, I contacted a friend and let him know that I would be getting in touch with him later on today this evening.

Ironically, I discovered an event at church that is happening around the same time (give or take an hour). Although I have not committed to the event, everyone is probably expecting me to be there because I attended the same event last year.

And to make matters worse, one of the church members emailed me to make sure that I am wearing red (I think it’s a theme or something, although I hope it has nothing to do with star trek).

I may be able to make the opening ceremonies, but I am definitely going to have to miss the dinner. I’ll probably get some flack for it via MySpace (that is if I both check it next week) but that would be better than disappointing my friend.

Whether they’re Jewish, Arabian, Druze or anyone else I left out, one thing about middle eastern women (or rather middle eastern people in general) is that they are passionate, no matter what they believe.

Here is a “secularist” (who use to be Muslim) giving her spin on liberty, Islam and the political way.
