      	Who wants to see a copy of Omar's incredibly arrogant bio?
	He wrote it himself.  I'll underline the things that I think
	are the silliest.  No, on second thought, I'll let it speak for
	itself.

About me: Well, I have a surprise in store for you. I am dark skinned,
not black, but brown. I am proud that my parents are from Pakistan and that
I have the family tree (43 generations) If you are familiar with Muslim
culture,you know that Mohammed had a close friend named Omar (whom I am named
after). I am the oldest male in my generation of the family. I also wear 
hearing aids in each ear to help with a severe hearing loss, although most
people don't know it. I tend to get ridiculed a lot because I am different
from everyone else, but I think its made me a better person spiritually and
mentally. I am a Muslim by birth and I absoutely abhor the extremeists who
use the religion as an excuse to kill other people. I can marry a Christian if
I choose. 

The right female: Someone who is funny, who knows who she really is,
        and who wants to be a close friend but most of all someone who
        is intelligent and who won't flirt with me. At this point in my
        life, I'm ready to find someone who can really appreciate me for
        who I am and not ask me to become a different person!!!

Communications: I love reading and replying to e-mail. I'm usually
on the VAX in the evenings, so I'll write to you if you write me.




                If anyone else wants this bio, they can have it.
