O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave...


How free is the land of the free, anyway? We'll get into that later. Right now, I'd like to welcome all of you to the Farah Harith Show. I've been hiding out from the virtual community these past few months, and I think it's about time I started writing again. This blog is the current active one, so enjoy fellas. Photo above shows my rediscovered passion for photography. Kinda good, don't you think? That's my cousin Zalina, the at-first reluctant model! She's a thing of beauty...takes after her mom. Anyway, photography is pretty therapeutic, as I've come to learn. Haven't had the time to foray more into it, but planning to soon as I get the time. Next project: CAMERON HIGHLANDS.

About the star-spangled banner opening, I was watching Higher Learning just now. Some movie about racism (so tell me something new!). It was a rather good movie, but just like all the other racism movies, it makes me sick to the stomach. So that's why I'm asking, how free exactly is the land of the free? Answer that and you have the answer to one of the major riddles of life. But then again, what's life if it isn't riddled with puzzles and questions. More later folks, it's 5am and I'm getting sleepy. Was out late last night, in fact I just got in a couple of hours ago, so I'm beginning to feel tired right now. For this posting, I shall leave you with an excerpt from my new favourite rock band. I was introduced to them by a friend some months back, and at that time I couldn't really see what the fuss was all about. But I got hold of their Best Of cd recently, and I am now an official fan.

There's a truth that's hard as steel,

The vision never dies,

Life's a never-ending wheel."
