Help


I made this painting last year in art class it was supposed to be this Beatles inspired giant Polaroid... I brought it home with me once the year ended and since then it sits there in my room mocking me since it didnt turn out the way i wanted.. so my question does anyone know a place where i can dump it or if anyone wants i'm willing to give it away too :)

Apology Note


Hey guys sorry I havent posted in a while i went to Mecca for 3omra and turns out its pretty hard to get wifi there (and you know im there to pray as my parents generously pointed out so many times). Here are some things I learned while i was there:

1. When a bunch of guys stare at you when you walk into Starbucks that should be your first clue that you walked into the guys section.
2.Never go to Baskin Robbins after tarawee7 you'll end up being shoved and pulled for 45 min for a single scoop.
3. Never listen to your cousin when they tell you that if you go out at night you will "get kidnapped and get your hands cut off and acid on you eyes and then force you to beg" and end up screaming every time someone comes near you.
4. Hide camera from cops with your mom's awesome zorro like abbaya that you "accidentally" thought was your own.
5. You must come 30 min before Athan il i3sha if you dont wanna end up praying next to the shoes outside.

and with that i conclude my findings :)

Tarawee7 Issues

1. PLEASE turn off your blackberries we're praying for god's sake.
2. If you're bringing your kid do not let it sit in front of me while i attempt to asjid i really dnt appreciate squishing my body and twisting it in painful ways.
3. Though my crocs are hideous i dont appreciate staying for 15 minutes looking for them and eventually finding them on the street that's just nasty.
4.Stop squishing yourself between people when you knw you came late and there are spots in the back.
5. :) ta8abal allah 6a3atkom

All Mine?



We all know I'll forever be a young, geeky boy trapped in the body of a girl (woman?), so that coupled with the fact Obsessco completely inspired me with her version of this post, which you can read here, I thought I make a little list of things I'd like to do at some point in my life.

  1. Bungee Jump: This one is will happen, if it's the last thing I do (Not really). However, I am very adamant about the fact I want to do it in Canada, so it'll be a while before I'm back there. I will let you when it happens though, so you just wait and see!
  2. Attend a UK music festival during the summer: I can't decide if I'd want to do this alone or with someone. I'm something of a loner...The festivals I have in mind are Glastonbury & Oxegen.
  3. Go to Japan and walk around dressed in the local wacky fashion: I have a sick sense of style that is too outrageous for this side of the globe. Shredded tights and black lipstick anyone?
  4. Spend 3 months traveling around Europe/Asia....ALONE: Like I've said before, I'm something of a loner. While I always enjoy an audience, I'm not always comfortable around company/other people. The thought of just being completely alone, in some of the most beautiful and historic spots in the world takes my breath away. Sometimes I feel like this new technologically-wired culture my generation has come up with is so erosive to the most important relationship you will ever be a part of: the one with yourself.

It's That Time Of Year Again...


...Ramadan mubarak (As we say in Canada, LOL)! On behalf of our blog, I wish you all a lovely month filled to the brim with love, happiness and good times.
We are all so blessed, so I just wanted to *gently* remind you to remember what Ramadan is also about: thinking of and understanding what life is like for people in need. I hope this month gets everyone pumped to be a more active part of their local and global community.

Thinking of and appreciating all my blessings (our followers/readers are on that list),

Things I wanna Do, Get, and See in my Life

1. Figure out where this is and live there.

2. Hold a Free Hugs sign in the middle of the street and hug strangers.
3. Get this too and try not to eat it (i have a tendency to do that even when i know its not edible)
4. Do this cause it look awesome

more to come later..

Crunching The Numbers

Sometimes I feel like I have a million and one things to worry about; societal obligations, personal goals, academic standards...these things can pile up and before you know it, you're screaming into your pillow out of sheer frustration. I've always considered myself to be a cool cat that can roll with the punches, but it's the things that I can't always control that drive me nuts. Whenever I am in need of some serious release I always go back to my tried and true methods:
  1. Chatting with a friend: I can always guarantee myself a good laugh when I talk to the people I love the most.
  2. A long, hot shower: I don't think this one needs a lot of explanation, and since it's summer in Kuwait, there is always plenty of hot water.
  3. Cranking up the Rock'n'Roll and pounding some pavement: I'm not athletic by any means (Mega-klutz alert!), but I've always enjoyed running. Granted, I haven't really been able to run outdoors like I used to in Canada, but the gym I go to has a decent track that helps me out on those days when I feel like pulling a Scarface and introducing everyone to a little friend of mine. Chyeah.
Punching the dry-wall,

S.
