muhammad or mohammad?

today i had the biggest fright ive ever had in the last 2 months.

so it was a pretty normal day, right? (except our bus crashed into the mirror of a truck) and we were just going home from school now and as i took my normal route home i just happened to hear a baby's bawling from one of the houses i was passing by. since i was naturally sound-honed i looked toward that direction and i saw a giant portrait painting of a person, propped up against the window so the indian in the portrait was facing whoever was passing by.

i could literally hear a "dun dun duuuuuuun" in the distance.

im sorry, i just dont get why an indian person would have a portrait of ANYONE propped up against a window. i just feel like it goes against all privacy and the feeling of security from people who stare at you. but no, now i have to GET to my bus stop thinking about that really scary face with the fuzzy beard, turban, and bushy brows. and back.

the first thing i thought when i saw that face could have ranged from "what the--" to "EHMAGAWD!!" to "i wonder whats for dinner today." but i, being a rational person and a critique of everyday life, was thinking, "dude. its facing outwards." seriously. a picture of an indian dude in a turban staring out at you while you're walking home from school? (i have nothing against indians but this is going too far.)

so thanks to some odd person who thinks its funny or otherwise normal to have a picture of her idol staring out at pedestrian passerby, i now have to pass by a fuzzy faced indian guy to get to my bus stop.
