~ Life in Four Pictures.
Today is my birthday, today i turn 31. and on this occasion, it is important to remember the cycle of life that binds us all. to understand that nothing is forever. sure it is not the best manifestation of joy, and this is not to say that i am not optimistic or happy, I am. I am happy and thankful for everything God has blessed me with. I’m just being realistic. 
We tend to forget that we are not immortals. we try hard as we might to forget that eventually we will all perish.
“You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake. You are the same decaying organic matter as everyone else… This is your life, and it’s ending one minute at a time.” ~ Tyler Durden
The image below sums it all up.

Deep man.
I was listening to Inncocence (Kenny G) *Sappy I know, it just helps me concentrate at work*
And then I saw your post with the picture, and as the music was fading to a close, my eyes were moving towards the winter and then your words.
Wow!
I could NOT have planned it better.
One thing to tell you though, a bit grim, and this open ended conculsion-less post should be capped with something like “I intend to live each minute to the fullest”.
November 14th, 2007 at 1:05 pm
Mabrook mabrook Bakooz. Happy Birthday.
That picture is quite nice too. A bit on the grim side, but nothing to say it is not true
November 14th, 2007 at 1:33 pm
Sari and Za3tar: Thank you, i think its more of a bittersweet than grim. its just life, it has its moments, happiness and sorrow, and one final destination

3eed Sa3eed!! and wish you many many more.
31 is still young and getting old is fun..in a way..to see your life evolve and change, having family soon (?) and just living it to the max makes all the difference in getting older. enjoy it and do not think of the end of it…it will end one day, so let it end when you are at least happy and content!
