Salaam… like all other bloggers I feel this need to explain my lack of updates. Screw that, I'll up it by throwing a lot of random yet interesting information at you. And I'll tell you what future posts I have planned for most of the categories of Fading Impression. PLUS I'll tell you about some projects I'm working on. AND I'll share some person information with you.

Everyone should check out [url=http://www.maximumpc.com]http://www.maximumpc.com[/url]. This magazine is one of the best tech magazines ever to be published. The language is very rich and the info is cutting edge. They redid their site to make it more bloglike and it has all the archives from it's 2005 issues. Imagine Islamic magazines could do something like that? How nice would that be? Then again most people don't have the opportunity to read many Islamic Magazines so they wouldn't know what I am talking about anyway! Btw the latest Horizons magazine was done really well, they actually had real journalists work on the cover topic: African American Islam. I enjoyed it a lot.

I have been watching a whole lot of Islamic Films, Documentaries, and Cartoons. I have a lot of thoughts to share. Although I want to hit it up from a fresh perspective. Lets see where my creative energies take me.  I think I will do a post dedicated just to the most creative Islamic Films out there. I have already taken some interesting screen shots. I also want to talk about some of Morgan Spurlocks 30 Days episodes. My Islamic Films entry will serve as a segway to my much anticipated article on Muslim American Culture.It will have a crazy title, but I won't divulge that yet. Anyone who is hip to the trends of Islam in America, especially related to the youth… inshallah you will feel it. For those of you who are familiar with Umar Farooq Abdullah's paper The Cultural Imperative… inshallah I will be analyzing some of his ideas in my paper from a critical lens.

I am thinking about sharing lines from my favorite rap songs and breaking them down. For example Inspektah Deck once said…. "Feeling like Hewey Newton with Panther Plots/ But High tech surveillance got my moves on watch". Also I want to write about progression or lack thereof of certain artists. Another idea I had was to start writing again….. but that won't be easy… especially while I am using up all my creative energies in other ways.

There is alot of good stuff which is yet to come. I just haven't gotten around to typing it all up.

After some serious job searching, Allah (S) has blessed me with an opportunity to do something greater than just working a regular job. Although the road ahead is going to be quite bumpy. I'm ready to move on with certain stages of my life (if Allah (S) gives me the Taufeeq) so make duah for me.

Oh yeah I have to let everyone know about this:

This is the next big Islamic Institution to arrive. This will INSHALLAH serve as a major Islamic Institution on the east coast. What's all the hype about? you'' have to go to the site to find out.

On a final note I just want to say that there are so many things that I want to do.. for the advancement of Islam, for the growth of my economic base, and for the nourishment of my soul. But I get sidetracked easily. Please make duah for me people.
