I Tag Me

October 7, 2006

The Raven has been tagged by Arima and has left the tag open wondering where the big fat tag chain would go to. Well here I am tagging myself, informing everyone about my favorites:

  1. Coffee & Cigarettes.

  1. Taking a challenge and fighting my way towards achievement. If I fail I try again. I know something good shall always come around some where along the road. I just need to keep myself interested in the challenge and never giving up.

  1. Hanging out with my best friend.

  1. Reading.

  1. Blogging and well writing in general.

  1. Listening to classical music.

  1. Watching a funny sitcom.

  1. Watching a good, well-acted movie.

  1. Entertaining babies and kids (Yeah, I am a child deep inside).

  1. As geeky as it seems, shopping for computer shit.

  1. Studying.

  1. Lecturing in an institute.

  1. Spending the summer in Alexandria or the Northern Coast.

  1. Spending the winter in Cairo.

  1. Spending time with my family.

  1. Enjoying a good home-made meal, surrounded by family or friends.

  1. Arguing various opinions with people, especially close ones.

(I know I went beyond 15, so if I wanna take off my two least favorite things then they would be 10 and 11).

Word Fuckfuckation

October 7, 2006

I know why they have the word verification option all over the internet. I know the reason but analyzing the cost against the benefit it is not worth it. The cost is it drives me all nervous and angry.

First of all, I never get it right from first try which is pretty disturbing although I am sure at many instances I typed it right yet I got the wrong response.

Second of all, you ramble on writing comments or blog posts or entering data about yourself into forms and then just when you think you are done, word verification hits you with a big surprise. You are not done yet bitch!

And then you are in for a bigger surprise it is almost impossible to get it right the first time even believe me you may type it right and yet you get the wrong response…

Word verification has been terrorizing me for long… Somebody stop them before I have a nervous breakdown ‘cause of it…

Just For Laughs

The moon may kiss the stars so high;

The sun may kiss the bright blue sky;

The dew may kiss the morning grass;

But you my friend, can kiss my ass.

Poetic, isn’t it?

No, Thank You

First of all, you gotta watch the movie, “Thank You For Smoking.”

It is pretty interesting and pretty funny.

And well, you’re welcome, thank you for providing me with the smoke and keep the supply coming.

Blind Frasier

September 30, 2006

Frasier hates blind dates and fix-ups.

Now there is that episode in which he feels all restless and the following is a conversation he has with Daphne:

Daphne: Perhaps you have been feeling restless lately because of a lack of female companionship, so I thought…

Frasier: Oh Dear.

Daphne: Just listen, I am meeting my friend Claire for drinks tonight and she’s complained about being restless…

Frasier: Just stop right there, I would know by now that you know my policy on fix-ups.

Daphne: She is pretty, she is lonely and she is an underwear model.

Frasier: So you do know my policy, off we go.

Their Misery… Your Fun…

September 23, 2006

Your friend’s misery although may usually require you chipping in a hand of help should always be your source of fun… What are friends for if we don’t love at those little miseries they get to face?

Plus you know that moment of trouble is worth being observed, maybe even worth being taped on video.

So, all my friends buy a video camera and start shooting every awful or embarrassing moment, I know I will enjoy watching it when I am around and well, I know you all care to see my smile…

According To Frasier

September 22, 2006

I was watching this episode of Frasier

Daphne expresses how she thinks it is awful that men use sex to get to what they want in response to Frasier’s feel of guilt after kissing Kate (His Boss) in her office while negotiating a pay raise for the producing talents in the radio station in which he works although he did not do it as some kind of seduction.

What I liked here was Frasier’s response to Daphne’s argument as he defended all fellow men by yelling:

“How could we possibly use sex to get to what we want? Sex is what we want.”

The Bulldog

September 18, 2006

When Frasier asks the horny Dan Butler playing ‘Bob Bulldog Briscoe’ about his sense of decency Bulldog replies:

“Doc, I have no sense of decency, that way my other senses are heightened.”

I Google Me

September 3, 2006

There are these phrases that people use, some of which are probably newly discovered and the rest are old, yet they are kind of weird, or at least they bring the sarcasm inside me out to the open even though I usually use some of them, maybe even all of them.

For Instance, since when has google become a verb, the thesaurus in my word processor can’t even accept it as a word and yet we are using it as a verb, very ‘to google’. ‘Google this and google that’, ‘I have googled whatever’, ‘let’s google it and see what we get’, I have googled your name and here is what I found’.

First of all, Google is a noun, it is the name given to the search engine and currently a multitude of services that the great founders of the original search engine have added to the offering.

Secondly, to search for a thing is the act of finding it through the Google engine and not to google it. Even my thesaurus agrees when the ‘g’ in Google is capitalized.

Again, blog has become a verb, he blogs, she blogs, they blog, why the hell is blog an act these days? What ever happened to the good old write, note down, key in, type, and the multitude of actions that can describe the act of “BLOGGING”, the normal multitude of verbs?

And I love it when someone says in Arabic فاتك نص عمرك (You lost half your life). Unless I have been sleeping or in a coma for half my life and unless you know for exact how long I am supposed to live then I am sure I didn’t lose half my life cause I didn’t see this or that or do this or that.

And the usual ‘To Die For’ statement is also a good one. Take for Instance, “The food in ‘X’ Restaurant is to die for.” Well family and country is to die for, food is to eat.

If anyone has an additional phrase, he/she is most welcome to add to the dictionary of weird and funny statements.

The Maid Story

September 2, 2006

Sometime in August I started the usual keyboard hitting process as I wrote my memorable piece, ‘The Fs in my life’ and I still stand by what I first said, it is not fucks or fuckups or anything that has the word fuck as part of it, and I am still positive on it not being Fat Chicks, it always stood and still stands for females.

There were four chapters to the reality show I have given you the pleasure of following, you can say this is based on true events, in fact this is all true events from my life. I started with the Fs in my life and worked my way through Suit-Up and then Legendary and finally the Road Trip Episode of this story, which was more like a statement rather than a continuation of the events.

Somewhere along the way I mentioned something about a maid, a naked maid, ladies don’t be scared to go on and gentlemen this ain’t gonna be some kind of porno, it is just some fun night before you propose to a girl’s parents.

So there was a miss ‘A’ in my life, long story, will tell it later, but four years after being a total jerk with Miss ‘A’ I found out that if I wanted to get married to someone it would be Miss ‘A’, a quite respectful, religious, nice person and someone whom I knew did have strong feelings for me. Anyways one night before meeting the parents I am really scared, you know I am gonna meet some girl’s parents and that I was doing for the first time in my life, so it was real scary. I needed backup and Oh My God I got backup, I got real catastrophic help.

So I decided, A Cake would be the best thing to take on my visit to the parents, me and my best friend, the Raven, sat all night and by all night I mean 3:00 AM to 8:00 AM the night before the great event deciding on what should be said to the parents. We made scenarios and plans and we were discussing what to say and what not to say and how to answer various questions, for some reason the Raven had knowledge of such situations. Anyways, we just kept discussing until I mentioned this and listen carefully, the family has a maid, more like the ones who become part of the family and you know I am afraid she is one of those housekeepers, the good ones you know, the ones really classy you can’t differentiate between them and the real lady of the house. What if I walk in and talk to her like aw, she is the mother?

The Raven after thinking suggested I ask Miss ‘A’ the following day for a picture of the maid which was quite funny because if I would do that for real it would be really embarrassing and again would point out the fact that I am fearful of mistaking the made for the mother.

But the Raven I guess did not think that was fun enough so he paused for a moment before he continued, “A Naked Picture of The Maid”.

Five hours of thinking and planning and out of them all we really thought was thirty to forty five minutes, the rest were all laughter, all naked maids.

Well, as for the real life events, I never asked for the naked picture, the maid wasn’t that classy and the merger did not go through because it all broke off later on. And as for the full story, I think you will be hearing it soon, if you are still interested.

The Godfather… Promoting Naked Maids…
Good idea for business, Isn’t it?
