Thoughts of a Hijaabi

Now is the time for us to shine, the time when our dreams are in reach and our possibilities vast. Now is the time for all of us to become the people we always dreamed of being. This is your world. You’re here. You matter. The world is waiting.

Yesterday alhamdulillah I’ve graduated from Northport High school. It has all been an interesting four years; whether it was laughs or tears, grunts or screams, it all worked out in the end and hamdulillah we made it. These four years have definitely taught me many lessons about life that will help me in my future. Whatever mistakes made are in the past and inshallah we have all learned and we will try to become a better person and learn from our mistakes that we have made. So once again to my fellow classmates and my great friends that have tolerated me through the years, and who have been there for me through the good and bad, Congratulations and Good luck to everyone.

So I haven’t really posted in a long time, I’ve juss been so busy lately and I don’t have time to do anything- it’s strange cuaz I thought that when I would be done with school I’d have more time but lately time juss keeps slipping away from me. But today I was very happy after the Yankees game. I love the Yankees but this season they’ve done many things to increase my anger and turn me into the stereotypical Yankees fan. Last night was one of those moments I was getting so upset and my mother would juss walk in stare at me nod her head and walk out; in the end the Yankees lost and all I could do was yell at the pictures brought before me on my television screen. Don’t get me wrong I have nothing against th Mets, I mean if anything Mets fans are a bit more normal than Yankees fans-no competition there. It’s always amusing to me when the Yankees and Mets are playing each other because within my group of close friends we are split between the two and its always fun as we begin our heated arguments; pretty silly over the things that we get offensive over huh? Well sorry to all the Mets fans out there, I think both teams did pretty well today but hey the Yankees were juss a little better today

A-Rod’s power helps Yanks coast

League-leading 26th homer complements Jeter’s four hits

By Bryan Hoch

NEW YORK — Youth may have left before experience, but neither was particularly effective as the Yankees defeated the Mets, 11-8, on Saturday.Tom Glavine’s 295 Major League wins and Tyler Clippard’s three victories wound up garnering the same general result: an early exit and inflated ERAs, as the Yankees and Mets turned the waterlogged second game of the Subway Series into an offensive firestorm.

The exit was earlier for the 22-year-old Clippard, who was rapped for five runs in 3 1/3 innings, including a solo home run to Ruben Gotay in the third inning and a two-run shot to Ramon Castro in the fourth. Clippard walked three and struck out two in the five-hit effort and has been hit for 11 earned runs in his last two starts.

While the 41-year-old Glavine went slightly deeper into the game, he, too, made the long walk to the clubhouse earlier than anticipated. Offered three separate leads by the Mets’ outbursts against Clippard, Glavine gave them all back.

The left-hander surrendered seven runs on eight hits, including a long two-run homer to Alex Rodriguez in the third inning, the third baseman’s Major League-leading 26th blast, and another two-run shot to Derek Jeter in the fourth inning, one of four hits for the Yankees captain.

While the Mets’ bullpen was unable to hold the Yankees at bay — Scott Schoeneweis allowed an unearned run in the fifth inning and Hideki Matsui reached Guillermo Mota for a two-run single in the seventh — the Yankees’ relief was effective.

Luis Vizcaino held the Mets scoreless for 1 2/3 innings, and Scott Proctor turned in two blank frames to get the ball to Kyle Farnsworth, who allowed a run in the eighth.

Mariano Rivera pitched the ninth inning in a non-save situation.
