Too Late. Try To Understand

I haven't been on here much because I been feeling really down.
I just made this blog as a way of talking about it.

I know what many of you would say about 'LOVE out of marriage' and 'LOVE MARRIAGES' but in my case I think I was a little late as I fell in love with someone before marriage a long while ago and we broke up because her parents don't want her to marry somebody who is not of their language, Me. We broke up but I still love her and wish to marry her still.
Her parents did not put anything religious into the matter but how she should marry somebody who is the same language as they are. the funny thing is her parents have soo much in difference on cultures and she's mix raced.

I really hate this feeling but it gets harder every day.

Hello Twitter - Round 2!

published by You on 1 February, 2012 - 02:48

After almost exactly a year, The Revival website's integration with twitter returns.

Now with more features than before - most new content will be tweeted onto twitter, either using the default account, or allowing users to set their own twitter accounts on their user profile pages.

Just a word of warning for people posting new topics in private forums - make sure you untick the post to twitter option when posting.

This post should also test if this feature works...

One step back for 2 steps forward

After almost a year of on and off attemptsin trying to update the site software to the next version, I present you with... an almost upgrade. (Edit - now a full upgrade as I have decided that its good enough to go live.)

I ran into a few issues more than I wanted to before the site is made live, but I also wante comments and feedback and if people dont think that the problems are too major, the site will be made live and the problems fixed afterwards.

Currently known broken issues:

1. Images in content are not working. Until yesterday in the multiple upgrade attempts, they worked, so I dont know why they are not working now. I need to investigate.

2. Tribune referencing is not broken.

Starve your ego, free your soul

“The material world as it appears to our senses is not the real world but only an image or copy of the real world that often deceives.” Plato

Andy Warhol famously said that the nature of the future is that everybody will be famous for 15 minutes. One need not look beyond programmes like Big Brother to see evidence of this trend. Long gone are the days where one becomes well-known because of their scholarly credentials; we are truly witnessing the triumph of spectacle over literacy. We live in a society where greed is the norm, where the ego, or lower nafs, is nurtured to its detriment and where consumerism is rampant. Indeed, pride and arrogance are sheer ignorance, according to Islamic teachings.
