Kilroy was Here
Meet Kilroy! I have been introduced to him by a friend of mine who used it for an art project. Believe it or not Kilroy is EVERWHERE, he's in africa, the U.S, South America, Australia, and Asia. There are so many legends speculating who he is, and who was the first draw him you can check this site for most of them. another funny thing about kilroy? he's called different names and there are different drawing of him based on culture but what never changes is his big nose and half his face peering over a wall. You can find him on the berlin wall, some say he's on the torch of the statue of liberty, he's on spongebob, and on a cover of a rolling stone album, and a magnet on Jerry Seinfeld's fridge in the show. Where else is Kilroy? KUWAIT! here are some of the attached picture of him on some of the locations.

Blue is the color
Chelsea win 8-0 againist 10-man Wigan last night! Nicolas Anelka started it off, scoring two goals alongside Salomon Kalou, Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole with one and the ''hungry'' Didier Drogba with a hat-trick!!
First Premier league title in four years! Chelsea have not won the League since the days of Mourinho. But Ancelotti is making history with Chelsea, a proud day for all Blues. Not only did we win the league, but we did it in style! Chelsea now has set a new Premier League record for the number of goals scored to 103!
Hopefully, winning the FA Cup on Saturday will rap it up amazingly before World Cup, a historic double, wouldn't want it any other way :p
Carlo Ancelotti says: "We had a fantastic season, not only by winning the Premier League but because we showed a good style on the pitch. After the first year, I hope to stay here a long time and win a lot of titles."
Indeed. Blue is the color, football is the game.
Used Bookstore? Kuwait? Really? :O SHOCKER
After reading the bookworm/ karma post one of my friends (thank you penguin!) gave me a link to a used bookstore in Kuwait, out o f pure curiosity (im quite aware it killed the cat but in Kuwait im more inclined to be killed by a careless driver) as i was saying, after checking out the site I headed down there this weekend. Piece of advice? the location isnt that great so go in daylight and avoid weekends. The bookstore was small but it was a BOOKSTORE :) my inner bookworm was more than pleased. I got a couple of a book the one im psyched to read is "A Long Way Gone: memoirs of a boy soldier" The bookstore was organized and had alot of genres u can choose from. everything u need to know is on their website,, and even though it's small im still proud of it :) Here are some pictures:

"What goes around, comes around" (and its a poor tipper)
Brace yourself, this is a double perspective piece :D
I've lived by the motto my entire life, anywhere else in the world i would have been called a bookworm and left alone, but in Kuwait being 10 and having the ultimate "captain underpants" series stuffed into your locker means being bullied. As far as i can remember i was always called "weird" because i read. What really bothers me is that they ignore the girls with the bee hives on their heads and people who aren't sure which continent they live on but because i prefer to educate myself I'M weird. I think the moment i truly accepted my bookworm existence is when i was crying in middle school and my English teacher told me: "well look at Bill Gates! the people that told him he was a geek and a bookworm now work in McDonalds" imagining my privileged peers in a Mcdonald's uniform handing out french fries gave me the faith that i wasnt weird. Let us not forget that other than the annual book fair we don't have any decent book shops. I'm 15 now and people still ask me why i read, i answer "why the hell not? " Kuwait i love you, you might be the only country that censors chicken little kissing the ugly duckling in the cinema but instead of making students study "why the west view the Arab world as retarded" in Arabic class how about you urge the citizens to crack a book every once in a while?

Hey there, it's S. again.
Growing up, I was nothing short of a freak. I preferred to spend my time alone; I just didn't understand children my age, and didn't find the "Stuart Little" movies funny or charming in the least. Suffice to say, the other kids left me to my own devices. When life in Maple Syrup Land got boring or there was 10 feet of snow blocking the door, I always turned to books. The other kids may or may not have taunted me for my reading habits, but I don't quite recall as I never actually listened when they spoke. I think it goes without saying that little children irk me.
Just before my move to Kuwait, I was going through about 6-9 full length novels, a week whilst maintaining a respectable grade average. I avoided moody teenagers like the plague; I just didn't have the time or energy to let them know how pathetic their lives would become once they graduated high school with a fifth grade reading level. It's called Karma. Google it.
However, aside from assigned reading material, I find myself having a hard time just wanting to read. It goes without saying that for all the things I am ridiculed for, reading too much falls low on the list of priorities. Either way, it doesn't really matter since the girls that annoy my eyeballs out of their sockets probably wouldn't be able to read the list.
Moral of the blog post: Don't worry when it comes to your tormentors; their high school years were the peak. You may or may not find them delivering your pizza on a cold Wednesday night, and that time they tripped you during an assembly gives you a completely legitimate reason to not to tip their sorry ass.
