The Unction of the Sick

January 6th, 2008 by raragoe

I’m not talking bout some random raunchy ole people dyin in their bed. I’m talkin bout this one particularly SICK man sitting on his chair in Oval Office. I’m talkin bout the fact that he is utterly and genuinely SICK and INSANE and the fact that this SICK and INSANE man happens to be the current president of the US of A.

Somebody give him his rites already.

I don’t wish people deaths, no I’m not a psycho. But I wish people peace and long-life happiness, which I don’t see would ever ellaborate if this man is around. It’s that simple.

And I worry, my friends. I worry.. I weigh three times my body (har har). No, seriously, think about it: It’s a threat, okay? You have one individual masquerade around as the leader of a powerful country. One individual that would spread lies and propaganda as a justification for war.

And it takes just one man to change everything. It takes one man-that is if he’s a president, to invade a country and seek for weapons of mass destruction (WMD, which spells O-I-L) and to "surge" troops to "free the Iraqi people".

Yes, and talk about minding your own bussiness. Talk about hypocrisy. Free the Iraqi people? Har, free of what, exactly?

Barbara Boxer put it simply, "who will pay the price? not us, not the gub’ment, but our very own troops and their families will". Okay, that’s another way to look at it: our GI Joes and Janes were sent to this bogus mission of eliminating terrorism and free-ing Iraq. Yes, free-ing them to death.

Back to my previous statement: I worry. I am worried that the next elected president will repeat the same ole mistake Dubya did. And it scares me to death of the fact that the only Republican candidate who is opposing the war, and who actually knows what’s going on- is Paul. I’m scared of the fact that he only got 10% of the Iowa Caucus. I’m scared, and I knew, of the fact that that man couldn’t make it to the top.

What is wrong with you Republicans? Has the Dubya Disease spread to you? I didn’t know idiocy and bigotry and fucked-ness are contageous.. I didn’t know until now.

Maybe that’s the reason why i call for the anointing of the sickened Bush: to prevent his intolerable fucked-ness to spread to not only to Republicans; but the whole Americans.

I know some people won’t actually read this post here. But what can I say: blogster won’t let me post some political libertarian craps that are "critical to the Bush administration" when a lot of rightwingnuts post ongoing articles bashing my religion for things they know and experience nothing about. Besides, I’m only sixteen, folks. Just a high school student who sucks at chemistry and flunks at math. I know, I know: little kids don’t have place in politics, do they?

Today..

August 18th, 2007 by raragoe

I took ma gramma shopping. It was exhausting, but fun! And we spent a whole lotta money we thought we’d never make it 4 tomorrow LOL..

Anyways, 2 days ago i made dinah a poetry. She’s leaving for Frankfurt, Germany, next week. I’m gonna miss er so much! She said she likes it, the poetry i mean, so i decided to put it up here.

BEFORE YOU GO

Before you go
I want to let you know
That all these times i throw
Is getting back on me head to toe

Before you go
I want to let you know
That maybe it’ll take time to cope
And stop me from being down low

Before you go
want to let you know
The image of you is striking me to and fro

Before you go
I want to let you know
It will never be the same again
No more dinahs we’ll turn to when we’re in pain
No more dinahs we’ll laugh with when we’re insane

Before you go
I want to let you know
That it takes time to heal
Whatever it is you made us deal
Whatever it is we feel
Coz it’s just so real

Before you go
I want to let you know
That you’re irrepleacable
And no one will ever be capable

Before you go
I want to let you know
That we’ve known each other for only a year
But you can throw away our fears
And wash away our tears
And all our problems you were always there to hear
And maybe, maybe i should’ve treated you better when you were near

Before you go
All those things you should know
Just in case i never show

Well, it ain’t no gud, i know, but at least i made her something. And at least she knows..
Hiks.. Dinoy udah mo pegi….. :””’(

Semazen: The Spinning Irony

August 17th, 2007 by raragoe

First off, saya udah sembuh dari pilek yang menggeleuhkan..
I mean, i’m getting better at least, tenks to panadol cold dan flu.. (iklan…)

Today is august 17, Indonesia’s 62nd anniversary.
As a good student, i attended the upacara peringatan 17 augustus..
Yang berjalan dengan sangat.
Sangat.
(eh?)

Dan as a good student lagi, i attended the "Pentas Tari Sema" at UPI Gymnasium.. It was held there mostly because our school is too small, (in terms of space not in terms of money, bcoz our school’s a member of pasiad and pasiad is blah..).

The Semazen, or Tari Sema, as the indonesians call it, is a form of movement done by a group of men, usually 5, herited from the Persian (SUMPAH siah, persia! Dasar orang2 turki tukang claim barang orang!!)sufis. The movement was intended to be religious and ritualistic (spelling?), and sometimes it includes dancing, prayers, songs, and music.

Well, the audience didn’t really like it, though. Soalnya ya mereka cuman muter-muter gitu doang… Yang nonton aja pusing!

But there is something behind the spinning moves.. A message, a hidden essence (hehe apa sih) that most of us didn’t get.

In the Mevlevi
sufi tradition, sema represents a mystical journey of spiritual ascent
through mind and love to "Perfect." In this journey the seeker
symbolically turns towards the truth, grows through love, abandons the
ego, finds the truth, and arrives at the "Perfect"; then returns from
this spiritual journey with greater maturity, so as to love and to be
of service to the whole of creation without discrimination against
beliefs, races, classes and nations.
(ini gua ngopi-paste dari wikipedia doang:kaga ngarti juga maksutnya apa soalnya beurat!).

Tapi yang saya tangkep yah,pas waktu baca bukunya itu, the spinning movements, ato yang biasa disebut dengan "The Whirling Dervishes" is a whole reflection and a representation of the present-state of the Universe. It describes the circular motion and movments of the planets, how the planets evolve around the sun, how the sun also spins on its axis (btw emang bener gitu matahari juga berotasi?hahaha parah ra.) It even describes how the electrons spin around the subcutaneous skins of the atoms.. Can you imagine it?? If the atoms, that are present in all matters, spin, that means this WHOLE universe is spinning!!! Merinding sayah.

Jadi temen2, mereka berpusing-pusing ria itu bukan ke-geblek-an.. Come on, guys, they’re trying to tell us something!

And i am among a few of those could see the beauty in it.
Kata batu nida, the beauty was not in the dance, it was in the message of it. The beauty was also in how these people, these dancers, enjoying the dance, how they enjoy becoming the messenger!

Keren. (dan roti thalita juga enak! iklan lagi,..)
If only more people could digest it.
Naon sih digest,jadi keinget waktu pas saya diare dulu.
Hahahaha.

Pilek aka Another Murder Attempt

August 16th, 2007 by raragoe

I know it’s kinda lame to post more than one or two articles on your blog everyday. But considering:

1.Tugas bu Ina sebenarnya udah lewat tenggat waktunya so i have to dash
2.Benar2 tidak ada kerjaan.
3.Dan kebetulan skali, saudara2, saya lagi napsu nulis.
4.I’ve gotta do something to distract me from the pilek.

Jadilah saya akhirnya menenggelamkan (spelling?) diri di sini.

Saking ga da kerjaannya,tadi saya buka2 bible. Bukan bible gum, itu loh, kitab suci umat Kristiani.

To christians, the followings are just a thought from a little kid, so no offense, plz.

I read the book of Genesis.
It says on the 1st chapter.

1. In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth.
Question: So when did He created himself?

3. And God said, "Let there be light", and there was light.
Question: So there was no light before?? So he was living in darkness all those shitty times? He must have been so lonely.

4. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light
from the darkness.
Question: So he didn’t know that light was "good" til he made it?
This is getting funnier!

Chapter 2.

  1. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he
    rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 
  2. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it
    he had rested from all his work which God created and made. 

    Question: Wait a minute, God RESTED????

Once again, it’s just a thought.
But still, i’m raising my questions.
And i challenge whoever out there to answer.
I’m a moslem btw, but me being a moslem really doesn’t have anything to do with this.
It’s just a thought.

Dan pilek saya semakin parah..

I Guess I’ll Never Be

August 16th, 2007 by raragoe

Good enough for him..
Or beautiful enough.
Or sweet enough.
Or romantic enough.
Or caring enough.
Or smart enough.
Or special enough.

I guess i will never be good enough,
So he decided to leave me.
I guess i will never be good enough,
Even for being an ordinary friend.

I concede i’m not beautiful. Or sweet. Or special. Or smart. Or good.
Maybe he’s better off with her.

Yes, he took my heart out and ripped it apart.
And he took my bestest best friend in the world.
But it’s okay, i’m never a good friend anyway.

All those years i spent with him, i don’t know where’d it go.
It was never a good idea to be more than friends.
I should’ve known long time ago.

And yes, somehow i’ve been dreaming.
I even thought he was gonna be the one.
I thought my kids would have his name.
I’m a fool.
Tapi ya udahlah.

Mati sana kau nak.

Physics Class aka Murder Attempt

August 16th, 2007 by raragoe

Dear deary,
(an***t, anak SD banget ga sih??HAHAHA!)

Today i
had physics class at school. We were studying free fall and projectile
motion. I missed my two previous classes, so i absolutely had NO idea
what Mr Saidov, my teacher, was talking about. It was somewhere around
motion integral and its derivatives. And i was COMPLETELY blank!

Without
any intention to be arrogant (spelling?) or cocky, some people think
i’m smart (sometimes they’re just being overrated). And that freakin
physics class was degrading me. I mean really, i used to like physics
so much. But now, well, it’s all history. Physics to me is something
that don’t make sense! I mean, HELLO?? WHY, people, WHY,, do we need to
count the velocity of an object thrown upward, and then count its
acceleration, and then derive its position??? That’s freaky! Urkh. Even
thinking about it, drives me crazy. Physics is just so not for me, at
least right now.

And thus, with the condition of me being a
complete idiot and having difficulties in comprehending the reason why
physics is getting ridicolous (spelling?), my physics teacher only
makes it harder with him explaining all those non-sense with a horrible
German-accent English!!!
Study english, plz, Mr. Saidov.
Or indonesian.

Intro

August 14th, 2007 by raragoe

Hello everyone.

Tak tau saya.
But anyways, this is my First Post!

And i’m the kind of person people likes to hang out with.
Ga percaya?
Ok, you shudn’t. Lol.
I’m corious (how do you spell ‘corious’ anyway) almost about everything.

I’m currently living in Bandung, Indonesia. 
I’m originally from Makassar. No, Pangkep, to be exact.

Oh, btw, i’m creating this blog for my Kewarganegaraan project i am now working on. We’re told to write as many paragraphs as possible, describing, or shall i put down, detailly and explicitly exposing about ourselves (so if you please just skip the "detailled" part lol). I think it’s a cool assignment. Way to go, Bu Ina!

So this is me.Being detailly and explicitly exposed by my own self.
See ya.
