Ramadhaaaaan, Ramadhaaaaan, Ramadhaaaaan (And Shawaal!)

I reeeeally hate when a normal word gets stuck in your head as a little tune. 'Ramadhan' is now sung to me constantly by nasal little children, because of this INCREDIBLY catchy song. Not good.

So, with Ramadhan coming up and all, I decided to give myself some pretty simple goals:
1. Stop wasting so much time
2. Be more Islamic

I know that #1 could be counted as part of #2, but since timewasting is a huge problem for me, I had to count it separately. And I know you're meant to be specific in your goals, so for #2, my main things are
a) quit with the backbiting [I think this'll need to be a coordinated campaign with family and friends - from experience it's too tough to go it alone!] and
b) make more of an effort to pray on time.

For #1, though, I need to
a) stop watching so much TV - which is gonna be hard with the new season of Heroes starting :( and
b) [more importantly] not use the internet so addictively. Basically, I'm hoping to go cold turkey on most things: Facebook (especially Facebook graffiti), Reddit, feed readers - and me own blog.

So, Ramadhan mubarak (whenever it starts!). Hope everyone has a productive and successful Ramadhan inshallah - see ya at the other end :)
