و بقولولوه ارحم يا أبو رأفت، و لا برحم

This post is totally made without any pressure from the notorious bakkouz..

hehehe…Actually  I don’t know the guy…but I cant keep myself from trying to promote for his blog…I think the design of his blog is the best on toot... And the guy has his funny moments… like this free Ala'a campaign post…I laughed my ass out when I read it…so if you check his blog out …don’t mess that post… and make sure you vote for Bakkouz…

When I have some free time… I'm going to work on my blog to improve it from the eye-sore it is now to a competitor in the next design event…

So BAKKOUZ "beware of the white man on the black mule"….hehehe… you're not the only one with world domination plans coz someday…someday…

Vote For Bakkouz

Don't know how to start on this subject…but it's been bothering me for a while now… the day before yesterday I went with the guys to have a cup of coffee at a kiosk near the 7^th. Circle…we at least do this once a week…we have a cup of coffee a little conversation and we head back home… but the thing that caught my eyes when we went there this time…Is the door of this low life night  club "Nadee Laylee" across the street from our favorite kiosk… the scene of lots of women(actually whores) getting in that club… and how ordinary they looked… do you know why they looked ordinary…coz even good girls dress this way these days… and you cant tell a whore from a woman…it's sad but it's true…we couldn't even tell who is getting in and who is going to the supermarket next to it…

What our community is going through… shows how ignorant our people are …and when you ask someone you know why do you dress this way… the only answer you'll hear is "ya zalameh hay el moda"… it's neither in our traditions nor in our religion…add to that, that if you logically think of it… it won't make sense…really…it doesn’t add any freedom…and if you think it does…then you should also think that if someone goes down the streets naked then it's also ok… coz believe me that's what will happen in the near future…

Add to that this show I heard on amman FM…the show had an issue to discuss which was why women don’t wear skirts as they used to in the 70's (as if wearing skirts is the right thing to do)… and if the subject of the show made you sad wait till you hear people's opinions…I quote many of the girls who called and actually a guy also said that :"it's because if you walk in the street with a short skirt men with sick mentalities  will stare at you and they may even whistle"… ahlain ya ba66a… sho sick hay…now if you want to show your body… you don’t want them to look???...wella bas la nas mo3ayyaneen el mawdoo3… you can't be selective about it…

And gurlz ….just to be clear on this… every man that sees the parts you show …gets turned on… some are sly enough to enjoy the scenery (without you noticing it ) and tell you that its ok and that's what freedom is,and you can dress the way you want… but others will be blunt and respectful enough to tell you "what the fuck are you wearing" use your brain and think before you go out next time  … so all I want to say…is that the next time you gurlz go out…just before that …just take a look at the mirror…and look in a different way this time…don’t check if you're a heartbreaker… coz you're not supposed to be a heartbreaker walking the streets… just look and ask yourself…

If  I'm really a Muslim, a Christian or even a Jew would I wear such clothes?

والله يا جماعة... هاي نوع من أنواع الصناعة مش مشكلتي أنّو نسيوا يدرسوكو إيّاها في المدرسة... هاي صناعة موجودة على أرض الواقع...أي نعم مش في كل العالم و أنّها بس عنّا في عمّان... بس صناعة

طبعاً اللي بقرا الحكي هاظ... بقولّك أنّي جاهل و متخلّف... أو أني قرّرت أفتح مصنع ترقيع و بدّي أساويلوا دعاية... بس مش مزبوط الحكي عا كلّن... خلّيني أشرحلكو بالعقل شو الصناعة الترقيعية... هاظا بتصحا  أنت الصبح بدّك تروح عالشغل... بتلبس و بتمشط عجنب يا محلاك ... و بتنسا تفرشي سنانك...أو يعني بتتناسى عشان بدّك تنتقم من واحد خنقك بريحة ثمّو قبل كمّن يوم... مش هون الموضوع... و بتنزل من الدار بدّك تدّق سلف و تروح عالشغل... بتلاقي الناس صارت تنشر أواعيها في كراج العمارة...بتعرفوا قلّة محلات ينتشر فيها...بس برظوا مش هاي المشكلة يا أخوان... بتمشي شوي بالسيّارة... بتلاقي حالك في متاهة زي هاي اللي بحطّوها لفيران التجارب عشان يختبروا ذكاءهم... يعني بيصيبك اكتئاب حاد... قبل ما توصل الشغل... طبعاً اللّي بشوف الشارع لأول مرّة... بنبسط بقول هاظا بزبطوا بالشارع... بس اللي بدري بدري و اللي ما بدري يلحس ط$%ي... لأنّو شايف العالم قاعدة و لا كأنوا عندها خبر... اللي بسمع بقول جايين زيارة عالمنطقة

يا جماعة هاظا الشارع خلال سنتين صار محفّر ثلث مرّات... و كل مرّه بحفروا بصير أخرى من الأول... يعني أنا بشكر الحكومة اللي كل يوم بتخلّي الواحد يتمتع بمغامرة بتوخظ العقل و هوا بحاول يوصل الشغل من خلال هاي المتاهات الترفيهية اللّي أنا مؤمن بضرورة وجودها في كل حي... بس يعني أنا حاب أعرف لمتى يعني... و مع مين الواحد لازم يحكي عشان يحل هالمشكلة أو عرأي إخواننا الأجانب "مع مين الواحد لازم ينام عشان يحل هالمشكلة"(شوف الحضارة و التقدم في حكيهم... ياي يا ريتنا زيّهم...و هاظا لسا موظوع ثاني أنا فقعت منّو...بس ما علينا... )... لأنّو أي نعم أنا زلمة نكد و ما بحب المغامرات و المتاهات... بس برظوا التحفير... بيجي معاه أشياء عنجد بتذايق زي الغبرة و الضجة... يعني البيت ببطّل ينسكن في...و هاي هيّ الصناعات الترقيعية

أريد حلاً 

This morning, I was in one of my meditation sessions… bte3rafoo men kotor el sho3'ol ya3nee… and this one big thought kept hitting me… over and over again…really…

We're Arabs, at least I know I am… none of my parents is foreign or has any foreign roots anywhere outside the Arab-world…still we can't get through a conversation without using foreign words here and there…and you'll say "ya zalameh…sho ya3nee"…

Ana bagollak wo bagollek sho ya3nee… it means a lot…it means that you're either not convinced of your own mother tongue and culture…or that you're unwilling to learn to express yourself in your language…it's a sure thing you may say…that it's easier to express myself in English…that’s because you've been doin' it this way most of your life… lets try to make a change…with a little extra effort…be different…have an identity… for a change ya3nee…coz if you don’t know…we're starting to lose it…don’t you wanna stand up in a crowd…

Anyway…it's not the only problem that's been troubling me…the other problem…is us being cranky people…who always find the negativity of things attractive to talk about…in other words…we keep bitching about our community and we don’t try to make an effort 2 change it…coz if you don’t know…there wont be no fairy that would come with a magic wand and change it…it's you …me and all people around us…who would make the change…stand up in the face of every wrong practice , habit or routine we get in…and try to motivate people around us to make a change…try to build up a new infrastructure to our community… of a strong enlightened ideologies…and motivated and optimized practices…"Sho hal 7akee el kbeer"…no really…try to take it seriously…

So in my opinion… the first steps to make such change …is stop the indifference that shows in our every day's actions…try to have a pause in our life…and differentiate what's wrong from what's right…and stop every wrong practice no matter how trivial it may seem… let others learn by example…

Finally…lets look at the situation we have at hand right now… I'm an Arab who's talking about the importance of improving our skills in expressing ourselves using our own mother tongue…Isn't Ironic??...don't you think…??

A friend of mine Sary Assad had a post in "his blog" about that topic…and I think he used Arabic in a really nice way…check it out…and I'll be gradually switching from now on to Arabic…Let's All do it…

"When all preventive measures fail, and you fall into a deep state of emotional depression"

I don’t have much to say about my third day in "Al-Sawma3a" … Coz all day I had a mental black out…

On a completely different topic, I wanna advice those who are reading this to listen to this Lebanese band Called "3aks el Sair"… They have an album full of Oriental creativity… You can download all of that album from http://www.6rbtop.com/ … especially look for songs called "shaifnee Shee" , " Intro " & "Haik saret"…

And on another Completely different topic, This is a personal Message to sm1 "You Know who you are" :

Don’t give me a reason to love you, Coz I'm already there… Just give me a way to contain all the love I have for you and keep my sanity…Coz It's Too large for me to handle…
