This is the true face of a real Muslim and Afghan. May Allah protect him and reward him for relaying the truth to the blinds. And to all the haters stop hate comments, you swines....</description>

		<description>@ Kinzi, that would be early 70s, The Carpenters, before anorexia was in fashion. Their songs also became great and trendy MUZAK songs. I may be a decade behind you but I cross those decades what with my older siblings and all. :)

And to Mr. Naseem, inspired writer, gift-giver, humanitarian, fledgling poet, news-source for many, leader-not-follower, young man of limitless talent, I wish you a very happy birthday. Please keep your torch lit and keep running and lighting paths all around you. Keep those words a-flowing. Wishing you many more years of achievement and bold, bold words.</description>

		<description>Posted too soon.

What I meant to say is that after 23 every year gets better and better.  I&#039;m actually looking forward to 26.  

Mab3oos, 23, the year after college, is the low point year for many.  Things can only go up from there man.

Happy Birthday Nas!!!!</description>

		<description>Take it from me, your thirties will be better than twenties, so you should look forward to the big 3 O (since you&#039;re on the wrong side of 25 now) 
Anyway, Geminis are optimistic by nature &amp; always look younger than they are :) 
Happy Birthday</description>

		<description>Naseem! 
I&#039;m a big silent fan of Black Iris, but today I chose to write you to wish you a very Happy Birthday, and to tell you that a person like you should be proud of his active role and positive contributions for his country and more importantly for the freedom, well being and dignity of his people.
You&#039;ve achieved as much if not more as a man in 62, so look forward becoming 62 to enjoy the continuity of your brilliant achievements by then!
Happy Birthday and many many happy returns.</description>

		<description>it&#039;s great to have u blogging again! 
also i thought a poet&#039;s age is calculated differently anyway?
i remember when they asked nizar qabbani how old he was, he said:
سالني ضابط الحدود :
كم عمرك ؟
قلت : خمس وستون قصيدة.....
قال : يا الله .... كم انت طاعن في السن ...
قلت تقصد ... كم انا طاعنُ في الحرية

keep writing - keep inspiring... happy birthday!</description>

		<description>Happy birthday! Do NOT listen to John Mayer today, NOT going to help. Crank up the &quot;Make Me Smile&quot; cover by Erasure or &quot;Bounce That&quot; by Girl Talk or if you really want to cross a certain threshold, look no further than &quot;Legs&quot; by ZZ Top. Listening to anything emotionally intense is just not going to work. If you ever want me to burn you a CD of inspirationally whacked-out music, you know where to find me. 

And have a great day.
