Does Waleed exist?
October 3rd, 2006 byMemories are like faint imprints on your brain. It’s a reminder of some past feeling, or joy that you’ve had. Viewing items from the past are memory joggers. As I write these words, I’m constantly reminded that this blog has a 2nd half.
Waleed.
Reminders of his presence are abound. His article about going to KSA and praying for us. His thoughts of having his mind turn to slush. These reminders are ever present and remind us of the joy of having Waleed amongst us.
But like photo’s hanging on the wall, they just fade into the background and we don’t actualize the full memory of the moment that they are meant to evoke.
Overtime as the memory starts to fade, you wonder if the event actually occured or if it’s something that you made up. I remember the joy and pleasure that I had in reading a Waleed original. But I’m wondering, did it really happen? Does Waleed really exist?
So I’m asking everyone for a petition. A petion based on everyone’s thoughts and feelings for the return of Waleed. Even if only for a short plug.
Waleeeeeeeeed….we miss you.

Who is this mythical Waleed you speak of?

Yeah, who is this marvel of man, a cadillac among mortals? Who, pray tell?

“a cadillac among mortals”? that’s not even a consistent metaphor. whoever this waleed guy is, he’s messing up the imaginary waleed’s good writing name.
it does feel like years since waleed’s written. what’s the deal?

You still haven’t resolved the question of whether or not Waleed exists. In fact, except for the title, your entire post is based on the assumption that he does.
Questionable logic there.

The null hypothesis is that he does exist, just haven’t seen him in an ubber long time.
Come back Waleed.

Waleed? Who’s Waleed? You mean, he’s still around, somewhere in those far-off sunshine lands? He reads and comments? As akds quoted me saying, Vat is this drama?!
Shahid asked for a petition, but I’m in for a picket line if necessary. Especially if picketers (picketeers?) get free dinner.

Picketeers get free lunch only. This offer is valid only during Ramadan.
