Boycott

First it was the boycott of US products, then it was Denmark and the Netherlands, in a couple of days it will be Germany.

But Now

Arab Leaders boycott Arab summit

How lovely!!!

As I am in a hurry now I will leave it at that, but will comment on it shortly.

Update: So The Arab Lunch Summit is over with no results! What a shookkkkkkk :O

with the absences of key players (like that makes a deference) and the most Arab eater, obs sorry "leader" to be mostly featured on the news is the Green Dud - I think he deserves his own talk show like John Stewart and J Leno - who as always never seizes to make us fall down giggling.

but for this time the one who made me really laugh is Lebanon, acting like a woman 7rdaneh - this is an Arabic term for a woman who fights with her husband and picks her stuff and go stay with her Mom and Dad and waits for the husband to come begging- which Lebanon expected the Arab states to do when they announced that they will not attend because Syria hit them all the time and steals their toys.

God I haet ARAB BS

All Hail the Green One

This coming Arab Summit as all the pervious ones will be utterly ridicules and insulting to what is lift of our intelligence. It is only a big lunch for an already stuffed stomach.

The Arab leaders have managed to go from doing nothing to actually making things worse, so I say please stay home and spear us this dark comedy, let the actual people who call the shots and decide our fate do it, instead of telling you what to say and do through the ear pieces you have on, except for the green fellow because he already have voices in his head without the ear pieces.



I mean lets be onset, the answer to our problems will only come from a divine intervention which is not far in terms of historical chronology.
Impairs do fall and there is no exception, so hang in their brothers and god be with us all.

Be Kind…..Rewind

The only TV show that I could keep on watching day after day after day is Top Gear, I mean my god it’s the best TV show ever made by man to this date, and believe it or not it’s a BBC production, yes British !!!!!! And before this show nothing good came out from the UK.

The presenters are hilarious to death (I never imagined that the Brits could be funny), every show I just laugh my brains out, hell I am laughing now just remembering it.



It’s a show about…will cars to put it simply, but most of the time it has nothing to do with that, unless trying to send a car to outer space counts?! Yes they tried to turn a 3 wheeled car (like the one in Mr. Been show) into a space shuttle, they gave it the looks and attached 3 huge rockets to it and faired it away, and almost succeeded, but didn’t, and it came down in flames.




This a sample of the dump things they do, but to be fair they manage to do it with out looking that dump and they manage also to give you the information you get normally form a car show, but still in their own “special” way, I mean who makes fun of BMW’s m5 or a an SLK or a freaking Lambooo!!!!!!!!! -some one how can afford it-




You have to see it; if you already don’t, that is. And MBC…Be Kind….. and Rewind.

عامان

عامانِ قد مرا على الذكرى
و لازلتِ أنتِ هي الأولى
و لا زلتِ أنتِ هي الأخرى
عامانِ قد مرا و لم أذكرْ
و اليومَ قد عادتْ ليَّ الذكرى

عامانِ يا ... و القلبُ مُعْتَصرٌ
يجولُ في دنياهُ حراً و مُعتقلا
لو علمتِ ما فيه من شوقٍ
لأخبرتُ الدنا مالمْ يكن سرا

ترى ما حل بشَعركِ الثائرِ
أهدءَ أم لا زالَ منطلقـا ..؟
و الغمازةُ الحسناء ترى تذكرني
...و تذكر لمستي الأولى

.... و رعشتي الأولى
و إختفائي بعدها سِحْرا ...؟

و مبسمٌ بالحلمِ يأسرني
لأجري خلفهُ سَكِرا
هل لا زالَ على العهدِ منغلقاً
أمْ فُضَّ لقبلةٍ أخرى.......؟

عامانِ و أبياتُ شِعرٍ ما كتبتْ
تغنيكِ إنجيلاً و قرآناً و مُبتهلا
عامانّ و العينُ أُغَفّيها و أغُمْضها
لتَدمى و تخفي قلباً قد إنكـسرا

Aliens In Amman

I have been reading some interesting blogs on this site, and what caught my attention is the blogs of western foreigners and specially Americans, who live in Amman. They seem to fall in love with our city - most of them any way – and talk about these amazing things that seemed to escape me all of this time.

Never the lees they do have some negative encounters, mostly with capes (Taxi drivers) and Salesmen -that think they are stupid- and tray to rob them every time, that's true and as a matter of a fact they tray to rob everybody including us locals.

The other thing they complain about –or at lest seem shocked to see- is that 5 out of every 5 Jordanians smoke, 4 smoke directly and the rest smoke by association, and the same ratio gos for TV addicts. Which makes me wonder some times if they are truly Americans?! because most of the TV we watch and most tobacco brands we smoke comes from the good old US of A, I am starting to believe more than ever that all of the monsters power that is the American Media is only dedicated to me.

They also perceive and communicate the wrong Idea of Islam in Jordan, but that’s a whole different blog.

Stranger than Fiction

Watched a nice movie last night “Stranger than Fiction” staring Will Ferrell, which got me thinking how great it would be to have some one narrate your life back to you, making you look in a new perspective on the things you do and choices you make.

If we start to view our life as a novel in progress maybe we can see that we have a chance to make this novel truly our own. Will at lest its worth a shoot.

First…………………………….

It seems appropriate to start with who I am, what I do and Way I do it, so here it gos:

I graduated form the Hashemite University in 2005 with a degree in the Conservation of Antiquate and Cultural Heritage which had a profound impact on me, but as many of my peers I couldn't find a job in my major so I toke the first opportunity of a good career that came my way, and now I am Management Consultant.

I want to say I own a car but I can’t seem to get around the fact that the bank owns both of me and the car for the next six years.

My posts –if their will be such a thing in the future- will be about any thing which falls under the category of every thing, and you my dear reader my or may not like, agree with or be interested in them and visa verse.

I will write in English or Arabic as my mood dictates, and your comments are welcome as long as they are polite, respectful and civil.
