Awesome Product Name of the Week...

2007-03-25T13:15:00.001+03:00

Finally! A bag for e-pimps on the go...

"Booty-man-data-bag". (Sounds like an awesome band name)

*Booty sold separately.

[Found at Sultan Center, Sharq -- in case you were wondering]

Come To Your Senses...

2007-03-18T15:01:00.000+03:00

See: "Les Triplettes De Belleville".
Because it's so damn cute...

Hear: LCD Soundsystem.
I recommend you start with "Daft Punk is playing at my house".
Happy Times...

Smell: Some baked goods to lift your mood.
(e.g Chocolate chip cookies)

"You can actually derive more pleasure from inhaling a comforting scent than from tasting the food itself." Alan Hirsch, MD.

Lick: Ben & Jerry.
That's right. It is officially scientifically proven that ice-cream makes people instantly happy. Studies have shown that:
"A spoonful of the cold stuff lights up the same pleasure centre in the brain as winning money or listening to your favourite music".
(Centre for Neuroimaging Sciences, Institute of Psychiatry, London.)

I [heart] scientists...

Touch: A natural surface with your bare feet EVERY day.
(e.g grass, sand, earth, smooth stones).

Not only is it good for your joints/muscles, it creates a sense of well-being and helps fight the blues... You stimulate muscles that are not in use when wearing shoes, and its benefits range from preventing Varicose Veins to curing Insomnia.

Nope. That's it. Forget it man... "Clean Your Hand"

Wow.
This is so lame.

My Hala February Patriotic Post...

2007-02-11T15:56:00.000+03:00

This is one of the funniest things I have seen in my adult life.
I shall call it:

"Stupid Self-Promotion of The Decade".

The images you are about to see were taken exactly one year ago (to the day), in the Virgin display case (at Marina Mall).

It took me 10 minutes before I could stop laughing, wipe the tears from my eyes, and take the photos.

(I don't know why on earth I never posted this earlier)

Ok... Here we go -- Brace yourself!

So, apparently this is the "Wrestling Champion of the Middle East".

His Name: "Abdel-Momeet". ("Worshipper-of-the-Bringer-of-Death").
His Nationality: Kuwaiti.
His Outfit: OMG...

How the hell can anyone take this guy seriously?

Oh man, this is so wrong, on so many levels.

a) Homeboy needs a sports bra.

b) Notice what he did to the Kuwaiti flag.
WHY man? Why?! What did the poor flag ever do to you?

c) Ummm ... I think a) and b) pretty much sum it up.

[And here's his website in case you want more of this national treasure...]

Happy Hala February Y'all...

Indie Flick of The Week...

2007-02-03T15:55:00.000+03:00

I watched this not too long ago.
Highly recommended. 2 Munki-thumbs up!

A definite must-see for indie/art film-whores.

Some favourite quotes:

"Mary: No one can beat the Siamese when it comes to dignity, cats, or twins"

"Fyodor: Are you an American?
Narcissa: No, I'm not an American. I'm a nymphomaniac."

For more info...

Happy viewing.

Seriously.... When will it end?

2007-02-03T11:46:00.001+03:00

Why, oh why?

Die! Die! Die!

Surely by now you all know of my hatred and repulsion towards the "Hummer" by-products.

I honestly can't put into words how much I loathe this:
Gas-Guzzler / Eco-Murderer / Eye-Sore / Urban-Assault-Vehicle.

Let alone a "Sprite-Green" one in the middle of a mall!

Yup. This disgusting icon of "Soul-less Car manufacturers" and "Big Oil" makes me see red every time. Without fail.

Thank you for making it cold in Kuwait, and warm in Moscow- you a$$holes.

So here's a big F.U. to all those bastards that continue to rape Mother Nature.

And as always, I'll remind you to check out:

Have a nice day :)

Blog-shift...

2007-01-27T16:27:00.000+03:00

Attention everyone -- my blog is moving!

I'm upgrading to the new blogger/beta/google-powered thing...

So I thought it would be a good chance to change the address.

By the end of this week (i.e by Jan 31st) , it will change to the following:

http://amunki.blogspot.com/

So for those of you hyper-linking me on your blogs -- make sure you update that shizz! :)

Stupid Car of the Week # 14

2007-01-22T09:44:00.000+03:00

I caught this stunner from the corner of my eye (outside of Souq Al Salmiya), and I thought "Oh, hellllll no..."

So, in the middle of Friday night traffic, I literally got out of the car, and walked 10 cars back to capture this beauty.

I'm guessing this poor guy was going for the more motivational phrase:

"Live Free, Or Die."

but it ended up:

"Life Free, Or Dia"

* Doesn't it just make you cringe?

Gun-virgin, no more...

2007-01-13T11:57:00.000+03:00

So, I fired a gun in a shooting range a couple days ago...
[Above is my actual target]

It was my first time and I had mixed feelings about it.
I must say, I am completely against guns, so this was no easy step.

Some friends wanted to go, and I thought, why the hell not. I'll try anything once.

Initially, it was difficult to get accustomed to the perpetual "bangs". It was quite unnerving. You can't help but flinch the first 30 times.

I decided to start small, and go with the .22 semi-automatic.

I felt a slight nausea/weakness in my knees when I first held it.
A real gun! With real bullets! Aaaah!
It felt so unnatural.
However, after my (awesome) instructor gave me my 6-minute "tutorial", I was more at ease.

Oddly, I found it to be exciting (and highly educational) to learn about the calibers, loading the magazine, how to aim/shoot from different distances, etc.

Consider it a lesson in applied physics, if you will...

He made me focus on Heart and Head shots.
For me it was more about precision and accuracy - it had absolutely nothing to do with violence/rage/venting.

It was about aiming for a target and hitting it, creating a sense of achievement.
You shoot, you score. Yaaaay!

(Kind of like getting a "strike" when bowling. )

Yup. I never thought I'd live to see the day that I shoot 20 rounds in less than 20 minutes...
And I actually might (dare I say it) go back again sometime soon.

So don't mess with Munki, cuz I be poppin' caps sucka!

Stupid Car of the Week # 13

2007-01-06T13:49:00.000+03:00

Ok. There's a lot happening here.
So let's break this down:

a) A "Mohammad" heart sticker in Arabic.
(Pro-Prophet sticker popularized after the Danish-cartoon fiasco)

b) More little Mohammad hearts on the right side.
(descending by size, for dramatic effect)

c) "Ma Sha'Allah" sticker in Arabic.
(Rough translation: "What Allah Wills" i.e. God's will.)

d) The random letter "Y" sticker in English.
(Why, oh Why ?)

e) The commanding phrase "Don't Trust Ladies!!!"
(Ummm... As opposed to Men being trustworthy?)

f) And lastly, the abbreviation "DTL" for the aforementioned phrase.
(Just in case you want to keep it gangsta).

WTF ARE THESE PEOPLE ON?!

Seriously...
This "seemingly religious" dude has got some serious trust-issues with the opposite sex, ey?

All this on a vintage black Chevrolet Caprice no less...

And the crazy part is that I found this odd-ball at the parking lot of my office.

Ewww.

Happy Holidays...

2006-12-23T14:36:00.000+03:00

So here's to:

Eid

Remember:
Be Nice.

Stupid Car of the Week # 12

2006-12-12T12:28:00.000+03:00

WTF? Is Lil Jon in Kuwait?

Sir, What do you think of the Middle East? : "Whaaaat?"
Let me re-phrase, Are you a total fucking idiot? : "Yeaaaaaaah"
Can you kindly disappear off the face of the Earth? : "Okaaaaaaaaay"!

Let's get Crunk bitches!

For those of you who aren't familiar with the term:

Crunk is thought to be derived from a combination of the words "crazy" and "drunk", or a combination of "chronic" and "drunk", referring to the state of being both drunk from alcohol and high on marijuana, at the same time.

Lil Jon defines crunk as a "state of heightened excitement".

Yup. Nothing says "Crunk", like the IKEA parking lot.

"Go ahead, be gone with it ..."

2006-12-10T11:52:00.000+03:00

This is for My Homegirl...

Enjoy.

[Note: I did not create this... Found it on some dude's Myspace page. So Mad Props to you - Whoever you are.]

Funny Sticker of The Week

2006-11-25T16:27:00.000+03:00

I've been out of town for a while... And I've been lazy...

So here's my "Funny Sticker of The Week". (As seen on a sidewalk in Barcelona)

[Note: It was torn when I found it]

"I may be FAT, but you're UGLY, and I can ----------"

(fill in the blank, yo)

*Winner gets a mini-cupcake from Munki!

Stupid Lawn Ornament of the day...

2006-10-14T11:34:00.000+03:00

Ok... So I'm driving around Mishref, and I spot this "Lawn Ornament/Sculpture".

At first glance from afar, I thought, "Oh... Some kind of dolphin".
The closer I got however, I began to get more and more disturbed.

So I did what I usually do.
I trespassed to get a better look, and take the obligatory photos.

WTF is this?
A Dolphin? A Trout? Shamu's Somalian Orca cousin?

Don't get me wrong...I'm all about abstraction -- but I highly doubt that was what these people were going for.

(It looks like a 2nd grade "Papier-Mâché" art project gone terribly wrong.)

As you can see, on the left is the original.
With a couple of crappy brush stokes, it somehow resembles a (rather fugly) horsie.

Puke.

So yeah. What a pathetic (and creepy) thing to place on your lawn.

[Note: When in doubt -- stick to Gnomes]

The Holy Month of Detox...

2006-09-24T12:13:00.000+03:00

No Eating
No Drinking
No Smoking
No Sex
No Pill-popping

No Ice-cream!

Ummm... I'm confused... So tell me again -- Why is it that everyone is so cranky??

Happy Abstinence Y'all...

[Note: I made other versions of this card, which I might submit later - depending on comments. -- hint hint.]

Stupid Book of The Week...

2006-08-07T14:53:00.000+03:00

That's right...
You too can "Speak Like American With Confidence".

Hmmm... What's wrong with that sentence, I wonder?

As the title suggests, this book (found at Sultan Center - Sharq) contains common American slang / colloquial dialogue and phrases/sayings etc., for the non-native speaker.

(Notice the "quality" cd it comes with... )

*shudders*

"This book is help for me to sbeek like American very shizzle and knowing the best say for the talk".

V for Vapid Visual Venture...

2006-07-08T11:00:00.000+03:00

So I finally got around to watching "V for Vendetta".
I must say I had been looking forward to this for months.
I should've known better - eager anticipation, always results in a let down...

The Verdict?
Mixed feelings, I like it, I hate it - but generally, I was not very impressed with the film.
It's unfortunate, because it had many valid points - however, too many clichés, forced scenarios, weak dialogue, over-lapping ideas (that are somewhat contradictory), and poor performances from seemingly "acclaimed" actors.
(Great voice-over by Hugo Weaving though).

It deals with a variety of touchy topics such as of Violence, Terrorism, Anarchy, Fascism, American foreign policy and Homophobia.

[Keep in mind that this was supposed to be released last November 5th, however (supposedly) delayed due to the London Underground terrorist activities of last summer.]

I think they tried to fit too much in, and it ended up being a confused socio-political statement, that is neither here nor there.

Good content - Bad execution.
It's too bad really... It could have been so much better.

To me, it was more like:

V for Vile fake English accent (courtesy of the Mis-cast Miss Natalie Portman).
V for Vaunt Hollywood-big-budget-box-office-driven-attempt (from the makers of the Matrix).
V for Victims of poor comic book adaptation into film (an ANIME version would have worked better).
V for Validating terrorism (if done in the name of "Anarchy").
V for Vhat a Vaste of $54 million.

[You're better off reading George Orwell's "Nineteen Eighty-Four".]

No, your eyes do not deceive you. This actually DOES say:

Put your finger in your nose
& think about the future

Yep -- I found this beauty in Shuwaikh a couple days ago.
You can't make this stuff up folks...

It's: Lame, silly, odd, lame, perhaps semi-philosophical (in that cynical way), and oh, did I same LAME?

I can't decide if it's clever and deep on some level, or if it's the dumbest shit I have seen to date..
Damn... I think I have run out of sarcastic remarks.

On second thought: I'd like to tell him where else he can put his finger -- How's your future now buddy?

Stupid Graffiti of the Week...

2006-05-13T09:46:00.000+03:00

Ummmmm...

Free Boy + Heart & Arrow + Swastika + Greek Cross = WTF?

Ok... So I'm all about the "artist's right to freedom of expression" yadda yadda..
But this is just plain terrible.
Poor composition.
Incoherent flow of "symbols".
Terrible application.
And "Free Boy"??? whaaaaaaa??

It's so bad, it hurts my feelings...

"Street art" in this country needs a serious kick in the @$$.
So, I'm thinking of starting a "Mu7awil Makeover" crew.
Who's with me?

Sam Brown is a fucking genius...

One of my all-time favorite (and little known) artists.

I've been following up on his work for a few years now.

Here's how he works:
People e-mail him little "captions", and then makes artwork according to his own interpretation of those titles...

I love how he combines whimsical yet crude (almost child-like) graphics, with mature and complex titles.

I check his site often. He usually has something new on a weekly basis...

Here are some of my personal favourites:

Can't let go

It's been so long since I last saw you

I need to know if I can trust you

I loved you at all the wrong times

I never expected this!

Is that really me?

And then it came to me...

I wish I could fly

Hold on, I love you

There is an emptiness inside

I'm listening to sad songs

It was because of you

Note: I have posted about him before... But I think he's so brilliant, that I had to mention it again..

Note II: For his older and "sketchier" work, check out the following:

Things I

2006-04-03T12:53:00.000+03:00

So the combination of:
a) work overload
b) dust allergies
c) a terrible KFC (kids) meal

have got me in a really foul mood...

So here goes...

To vent my frustration, I am making a little list of "Random Things I Hate":

1) Reggaeton Music
(If you can even call it music).
This has GOT TO BE the worst music genre of all time.
I really believe that HELL is listening to "GASOLINA" on repeat, for all of eternity...

2) Industrial Shuwaikh
Yes. The entire area.
Potholes in the roads, shitty intersections, and of course, the worst drivers in the known universe.

3) Tomatoes
Because they're just plain gross.

4) The Pussycat Dolls
Ugh. God, don't get me started...

5) Those AWFUL Cork-Heeled-Wedge-Shaped Shoes
Seriously ladies... WTF?

6) The New Dodge Charger
What a horrible new design - such blasphemy.

7) Littering
Is it so fucking difficult to find the nearest trash can/bin?
It really makes me sick to my stomach to see the "wajha" or any park/garden/street, and the trash that assholes leave behind as souvenirs of their ignorance.

8) Cheap-crappy ballpoint pens
Unflattering for anyone's handwriting.

9) Jay Leno
What a tool. He should just quit now. Now.

10) Ministry of Health SMS ads about vaccinations
I swear, if I get one more..... Someone is getting hurt.

Holy "Rapping Reggae Rabbi" Batman!

I actually saw him on Conan O'Brien not too long ago...
This guy is too cool..

2006-03-21T12:05:00.000+03:00

Oh man, This was my favorite movie back in 1986...

"Number 5 is alive !!! "

That was 20 years ago.
Holy shit...

2006-03-08T10:18:00.000+03:00

Oh man, do you guys remember this?

Such trippy visuals and excellent music.
Excellent.

F.U.I.T.

2006-03-04T13:56:00.000+03:00

Why is it that all I.T. / Tech Support guys are such assholes?

I mean, really...

Is it so hard to stop acting like GOD for a nanosecond and actually help people out without acting like a total know-it-all prick?

Yet Another V-Day...

2006-02-12T17:02:00.000+03:00

It's right around the corner... So Happy V-day and all that... (even though I don't believe in this sorry excuse of a marketing holiday.)

So here's a card I made in spite of it.
Screw chocolate -- I say go with doughnuts this year...

[Note: Photo and hand-modeling courtesy of "Shady The Magnificent"]

And as always, here's a Haiku:

The hole in my soul
Filled with yet another hole
Somehow, I feel "whole"...

Stupid Sign of The Week # 3

2006-01-29T11:16:00.000+03:00

Is it just me, or does it look like this says "TOILET" as opposed to "To Let" ?

And ironically posted on this lovely "Receptacle"... (How appropriate)

Here's my problem though:
They want a hefty 1000 kd per month for this supposed "deluxe" villa, and this is how they chose to advertise it?

*Sigh*...

From D to Double D...

2006-01-23T11:22:00.000+03:00

So my last post was entitled "The D..."
This one shall be known as "The Double D..."

A.K.A : "Stupid product name of the week"

[As seen near the check-out counter, in a local super-market]

Hmmmm.... I wonder what genius came up with this one...

"Hey everybody, my Double D's are sugar free!!"

( Ugh.....)

The D.....

2006-01-21T10:52:00.000+03:00

Everyone knows that Tenacious D is the greatest band in the world, and rightly so....

So, as a "tribute", today's post is dedicated to their song-writing, and its relevance to you.
Yes, You...

So, what's YOUR Tenacious D song? (Take the quiz)

And in case you were wondering, my song is ----> "Cosmic Shame" [Full lyrics]

Set the artist free!
I'm talking about the artist
in your fucking heart...

Been in bondage
and in chains for too long
you fucking robot monsters...

Set the artist free!
I'm saying
QUIT YOUR DAY JOB!!!

"Ummm... Do you have any big-ass donuts?"

Cuz I'm not too sure about the mini-ass donuts, and the regular-ass donuts...

Yup folks, this was taken in a bakery here in Kuwait...
After laughing my "ass" off for 5 straight minutes, I whipped out my camera and documented this genius display... I simply couldn't resist.

(It was at "Opera", if you must know)

Note:
I know I can be annoying with some of my obvious comments, but JUST in case you didn't figure it out, "ass" stands for "assorted" :p

Also, Happy Birthday to the following:

Sir Isaac Newton (Mad props for your "laws of motion" dogg)
Jimmy Buffet ("Wastin' away again in Margaritaville...")
Annie Lennox (Scottish Diva Supreme)

Also, this year I have decided to become a Pseudo-Neo-Judeo-Rastafarian (in addition to being a Sufi).
So, you know what that means -- This year, my tree will be made of Hemp!
And my Menorah will be lit by 8 big, fat, blazing.. Ummm... [candles]

Yeah...

Jah Rule & Jah Bless...

And on a heavier note:
Tomorrow marks the one-year anniversary of the unforgettable, devastating Tsunami.
Remember those who were lost...

Stupid car of the week # 9

2005-12-21T09:13:00.000+03:00

For those of you who don't get it, here's how it breaks down:

Dash + (cup of tea) = Dashti

Ok... No offense to the "Dashti" family -- I know a lot of them, and might be distantly related to a few somehow, so don't take this personally, but this has got to be one of the dumbest I have seen in a while...

Dash-Tea... It's so retarded.
It's worse than the Kandari family water-carrier logo thing... (You know what I'm talking about , right?)

I mean, it's ok to be proud of your name and all... But please don't massacre it by doing something stupid like this folks...

Seriously... Think of your poor ancestors...

Mystery Muffin...

2005-12-19T09:36:00.000+03:00

So I was going to Mishref Co-op with my homeboy Shadyq80, and in the middle of the sidewalk, we spot this muffin.

Just sitting there -- minding its own business.

A perfect, untouched, unharmed muffin.

I was like "Duuuuuude... Check it out... Whoa..."

First there was silence. Then maniacal laughter.

You see a lot of strange things on the sidewalks of Kuwait. (Just ask Tata)

Surely, this is one of the most bizarre ones.

So yeah... Just thought I'd share that.

Stupid Sign of the week

2005-12-11T10:29:00.000+03:00

Ummm... As opposed to UPPER-Ass or LOWER-ass?

[Yeah, I've been posting "stupid cars" for quite some time now... So I thought I'd change it up by posting the "stupid signs" that I stumble upon here and there...]

Enjoy......

Rude Awakening...

2005-12-06T11:12:00.000+03:00

Watch this film.
Watch it carefully.

Stupid car of the week # 8

Ya3ni " 3agrab il handasa " ?

WTF???

Engrish...

2005-11-19T10:26:00.000+03:00

Oh man, I love this website -----> ENGRISH

Q. What is Engrish?

A. Engrish can be simply defined as the humorous English mistakes that appear in Japanese advertising and product design.

Note: The "Drinks" section is especially noteworthy (and of course the "Adult Engrish" section as well...)

Enjoy!

My New Favorite Song...

2005-11-14T10:31:00.000+03:00

"Milk" by Kings of Leon

[lyrics]

Salty leave, salty leave

Tell me the one about the friend you knew,
and the last good night that we toasted too

Salty leave,
stay for me, stay for me

We drank wine in the matinee
and the spotlight showed what I chased away

Stay for me

She saw my comb over, her hourglass body
she had problems with drinking milk and being school tardy
she'll loan you her toothbrush
she'll bartend you party

Kill me, kill me

I called I called, but I can't get through
said he's on his own, but his own is you

Kill me

She saw my comb over, her hourglass body
she had problems with drinking milk and being school tardy
she'll loan you her toothbrush
she'll bartend you party

Key-BORED...

Stupid car of the week # 5

2005-11-02T10:13:00.000+03:00

Ummm... Is it just me? Or is it a mortal sin for a grown man to admit that he's into pseudo-lesbian, one-hit-wonder, teeny-bopper, marketing-gimmick, crappy, Russian pop?

May God have mercy on his soul...

Seriously...

Question of the day...

2005-11-01T12:38:00.000+03:00

(Note: Found this at "Threadless" ---> from a t-shirt designed by Glenn Jones)

Happy Halloween...

2005-10-31T10:31:00.000+03:00

So once again, it's Halloween

My all-time favorite day of the year...

I think this is actually this first year that I am not taking part of any event/costume party.

Bummer.

Here's Halloween Haiku:

Disguising ourselves
Choosing WHO and WHAT to be
Such sweet delusion...

And finally, I will leave you with the "Costume King" himself...

Heh. Sweeeeet.

So I’m learning Spanish...

2005-10-29T10:31:00.000+03:00

Well -- because I can...
And I’m trying to slowly rub it off on my friends...

(Note: Mama Fusla ------- > This is going to come in particularly handy when you finally hook up with Alejandro Sanz)

Watch out bitches -- Spanish Munki is on a mission!

Favorite new song:
"Tabaco y Chanel" by Bacilos (a Colombian band)

Favorite new expression:
"Cosquilléeme"

Classic line... No?

Favorite new website:
Random (Spanish) Idiom Generator

And finally I will leave you with the lyrics to an amazing song:

"Never Been To Spain" (by Three Dog Night)

2005-10-18T10:17:00.000+03:00

I know, I know...
I'm a hypocrite for posting this image -- considering I own an i-pod and I am a total "Pod-head"...

Stupid car of the week # 2

2005-10-12T10:18:00.000+03:00

Hell yeah I'm "SCREEMING"!

There's nothing more frightening than Poor Spelling!

Finding "Emo" ...

2005-10-11T10:47:00.000+03:00

Yeah, So I'm an EMO kid...

Listening to: The Good Fight by Dashboard Confessional.

Wearing: Black and Blue

Feeling: Cold

Also feeling: Defeated

Wish I: Would meet a cute, artistic, sensitive Emo boy... (Black hair, thick glasses, tattoo sleaves, labret piercing and all)

Note: Gotta make my hair more Emo...

Yo' Mama... (Geek Edition)

2005-10-10T10:26:00.000+03:00

This has got to be the funniest site for Yo' Mama Jokes...

It's divided into categories. My favorite is the "Geek" section.

Here's an example from the Math section:

1. Your mom is dumb, she can't even solve a second-order non-homogeneous differential equation!

2. Your mom is so stupid, she tried to use substitution to find the definite integral of f(x)=x^2 over the interval 0.

3. Your mom is so stupid, she tried to find the total area of the graph under the function F(x)=sin x over the interval -1.

4. Your mom is so stupid, she derived all three Erenfest theorems using the position space representation!

LOL

And here are some examples from the Physics section:

1. Your mom's weight is modeled by the summation of a diverging sequence.

2. Your mom is so dense she refracts light.

3. Your mom is so massive, that the gravitational lensing effect is so great around her that a light beam passing within 1 AU has a radius of curvature of 6E9 meters!

4. Your Mom conforms to Planck's law. The greater the frequency with which she screws, the more energetic she gets.

And here are some jokes for you Code whores (hehe)

1. Your Mom is so stupid, she uploads executables in ASCII mode.

2. If we were to code your mom in a C++ function she would look like this: double mom (double fat){ mom(fat);return mom;}; //your mom is recursively fat!

3. private int yourMom = 1; private boolean isSlut = false; while(Math.random() * yourMom < isslut =" true;">

4. public boolean whore(String x) { if (x = "Your Mom") { return true; } else { return false; }

Oh man..... I am having waaaaay too much fun with this. I'm a sucker for Geek humour :)

Now, why don't you go

Life...

2005-10-09T13:00:00.000+03:00

Listening to : "Life" by My Computer

It's very early Radiohead meets Muse.
A lovely song...

(Note: The lyrics weren't available, to I had to REALLY listen and type them up myself).

[Lyrics]

Life, it gets harder
but I keep it to myself

Everyday, it's the same day
but I keep it to myself

I am your saviour
but I keep it to myself

I don't like your behaviour
but I keep it to myself

Cuz life, life, life is a series
of keeping things to yourself
If you find out, just keep it to yourself

This is my new hive, had yours**
and I keep it to myself

I am a dark horse
but I keep it to myself

I am an escapist
but I keep it to myself

I know a rapist
but I keep it to myself

Life is a series
of keeping things to yourself
If you find out, just keep it to yourself

I keep it to myself
I keep it to myself, my life
I keep it to myself
I keep it to myself, my life

** (accuracy under dispute)

Ummmm......

2005-10-08T10:04:00.000+03:00

A little Haiku for the image:

Fatigue flirts with me
I resist, but she persists
Here we go again...

Sufi Infusion

2005-10-06T10:24:00.000+03:00

For those of you who know me, surely you know of my Sufism obsession...
I am utterly fascinated by this whole Islamic Mysticism "cult" (yes, I consider it a cult... As are most religions).

My interest was sparked about a year ago actually... During Ramadan.
I think it all began after a (somewhat enlightening) trip to Turkey. And It took me a few months to read up on it etc...

In addition to my Sufi-fascination, I have fallen in love with the poetry of Jalal Al-Din Rumi.
(Sufi Poet and Mystic).

Seriously people. If you haven't read his work, you are missing out.

So, I have decided to post some random sufi-related pics for your viewing pleasure...

Some "Whirling Dervishes" in Turkey

I think this is a "Female" Dervish (which you never see)

More Whirling Dervishes...

A Dervish abstract

And This last one is interesting... It's a "Sufi Zurkhane" exercise (in Tehran, Iran).
The followers wear special paisely pants, thick leather belts and wield large clubs. They roll back and forth, swing the clubs in unison, and perform calisthenics. There is apparently a sufi mystical connection, sort of the Islamic equivalent of Tai Chi, or East Asia martial arts.

And I will leave you with the following poems by Rumi:

Last year I admired wines
This year I'm wandering inside the red world.

Last year I gazed at the fire
This year I'm burnt Kabob

Thirst drove me down to the water
Where I drank the moon's reflection

---------------------------------------------------------

We have a huge barrel of wine, but no cups.
That's fine with us.

Every morning we glow
And in the evening we glow again.

They say there's no future for us. They're right.
Which is fine with us...

---------------------------------------------------------

Out beyond the ideas of wrong-doing and right-doing
There is a field, I'll meet you there,

When the soul lies down in that grass
The world is too full to talk about

Ideas, language, even the phrase each other
Doesn't make any sense.

---------------------------------------------------------

Come to the orchard in spring
There is light and wine, and sweethearts
In the pomegranate flowers

If you do not come, these do not matter
If you do come, these do not matter...

---------------------------------------------------------

You've so distracted me
Your absence fans my love
Don't as how

Then you come near
"Do not...," I say and
"Do not...," you answer.

Don't as why
This delights me.

---------------------------------------------------------

Pale sunlight
pale the wall

love moves away
the light changes

I need more grace
than I thought...

---------------------------------------------------------

You have said what you are
I am what I am
Your actions in my head
My head here in my hands
With something circling inside
I have no name
For what circles
So perfectly...

Magnetic Poetry Haiku

Delirious dream
You play with my drunk girl friend
She is so easy

(based on an actual dream...)

From Fulla to "Fusla"...

2005-10-04T10:21:00.000+03:00

Before:

After:

Fulla has apparently decided to join the "Fusla Crew"...
She is currently in the process of her make-over...
Her "new image" will most likely involve a weird vintage t-shirt, a cowboy hat, and some bling...

p.s. Oh, and "Happy Ramadan" and all that...

Stupid car of the week # 1

2005-10-03T10:12:00.000+03:00

This was taken here in Kuwait...

I just love taking pictures of stupid car stickers/slogans/signs...
The grammar is always off, and the expressions are so poorly translated...

This one is so idiotic that it's almost brilliant!

Magnetic Poetry

2005-10-01T09:58:00.000+03:00

I'm sure you've all seen these on people's refrigerators. It's been around for a while.
Magnetic poetry is basically random words, that you assemble in whatever order you please...
Usually the result is something rather ridiculous and perverted.
I don't put that much thought into it... I just pick up the words and try to see how many dirty euphemisms I can come up with.

Here are some of my classics:

Tongue me fast & watch me moan like a frantic mother

Let me pound you with my lazy sausage

Blow my wet pole as I fiddle your puppy

Smear some chocolate on my smooth butt (written by B)

Lick my sweet skin all summer (you can interchange skin with "meat")

Surprisingly, I haven't written any magnetic poetry haiku.
Normally, it would have been the first thing I would have done... Hmmm...
WTFDITOIE?
(Why the fuck didn’t I think of it earlier?)

So, my next post shall feature magnetic poetry haiku.
In fact, I am going to do a whole series of them. Yeah, dammit...

I'm back bitches!

2005-09-26T15:58:00.000+03:00

So, I took my little break. Did some soul searching. Found nothing. And I'm back to talk about it...

So, there you have it.

Yeeeeeaaayaaah...

Later...

2005-06-21T10:44:00.000+03:00

I am going on yet another break.
Sabbatical.
Hiatus.
Whatever you wanna call it...

Got other things that need my full-time attention...

So farewell fellow bloggers.
I'm off.

(Doubt anyone will notice)

Shizzolator...

So, you wanna be the shiznit?

Some of my favorite feminist quotes

2005-05-17T10:55:00.000+03:00

People call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat or a prostitute.
--Rebecca West

Of all the nasty outcomes predicted for women's liberation--none was more alarming, from a feminist point of view, than the suggestion that women would eventually become just like men.
--Barbara Ehrenreich

Finally got it
With or without a "Hijab"
We'll make our way in...

"Shame"

2005-05-14T10:35:00.000+03:00

Listening to "Shame" by BT (a.k.a Brian Transeau)

Lyrics:

A lonely doll
She came again
Frozen wall
Like teenage skin
And neither for
What comes within
A substance clouds like sinking sin

You told your great tale
And it's always the same
Quite a shame that it goes this way
Is what you said

How very bizarre
All those blood-letting games
Quite a shame that it goes this way
Is what you said

Lay me down

Oh such a shame...

You told your great tale
And it's always the same
Quite a shame that it goes this way
Is what she says

How very bizarre
All these blood-letting games
Quite a shame that it goes this way
Is what she says

You told your great tale
And it's always the same
Quite a shame that it goes this way
Is what you said

How very bizarre
All these blood-letting games
Quite a shame that it goes this way
Is what you said

Still smell of fear
She came again
A frozen wall
Like teenage skin
She'll break my fall
Begin my friend
Some old substance clouds like sinking sin

You told your great tale
And it's always the same
Quite a shame that it goes this way
Is what she says

How very bizarre
All these blood-letting games
Quite a shame that it goes this way

It's such a shame
It's such a shame

Munki of the day (Part II)

2005-05-09T10:01:00.000+03:00

Apparently a kick ass album by the "Jesus and Mary Chain"

(I have yet to hear it)

Munki of the day

2005-05-08T10:20:00.000+03:00

So I typed in the word "Munki" in Google images, and this was one of many things I found.

(It's a children's line of clothing)

Note the caption where it says "Scratch and Sniff Underpants"...

Anyone else find that disturbing?

"Where is the what if the what is in why ?"

(This post is inspired by a comment I left on SheWrites' latest post)

Below are the lyrics to a song by Moloko, entitled: "Where is the what if the what is in why ?"

If you haven't heard this song, I HIGHLY recommend you download it ASAP

------------------------------------------------------

What is a God of phoney creation?

Where am I going with no destination?

What if the fish came from the sea?

What if my lover made me feel free?

What if my intake caused revelation?

What if the point was reincarnation?

What if my shoes don't match my jacket?

If it's not working why don't you smack it...

What if your mama said you were fat?

If you are lost find where your at...

What is a number without any time?

You can't get higher with nothing to climb...

Why have a body if you ain't got a mind?

What is a searcher with nothing to find?

Why is the traffic refusing to stop?

Why climb the ladder if you can't reach the top?

Where is the what if the what is in why?
Where is the what if the what is in why?
Where is the what if the what is in why?

What do you dream of when you sleep at night?

Wee how the blind man fills up with light?

What is a bird with nowhere to fly?

How can you leave and not say goodbye?

What is a hunter with nothing to find?

What is the goodness without the unkind?

When did the outfit fall out of fashion?

When did the lover run out of passion?

My reincarnation time a phoney creation rhyme...

With no destination mine my information's fine...

Why did the voice say don't step on the floor?

Why did the sign say so float through the door?

What is a God of phoney creation?

Where am I going with no destination?

What if the fish came from the sea?

What if my lover made me feel free?

What if my intake caused revelation?

What if the point was reincarnation?

What if my shoes don't match my jacket?

If it's not working why don't you smack it...

What if your mama said you were fat?

If you are lost find where you're at...

Where is the what if the what is in why?
Where is the what if the what is in why?
Where is the what if the what is in why?

How did the loser get to be rich?

What is a salesman with nothing to pitch?

When did the fool get to be king?

Why did you leave when they asked you to sing?

Why lose belief if you got a dream?

What is a train that ran out of steam?

What is a spy with no-one to spy on?

Who do you sleep with nothing to lie on?

What if the fruit don't fall from the tree?

What if these questions just won't let you be?

Why waste your time looking for proof?

What if the answer is never the truth?

Untitled (for now)

2005-05-01T10:46:00.000+03:00

Quicksand conversations
Sinking in your sweetness
Dead ends dissolve
Into a Duchamp landscape

A hit or miss
Understanding
Unknowing
"You hit it on the head"
Instead
I choose to let it go...

Talking away the day
Sleepless nights
Making the most
of my solitude
Thinking twice
I don’t know where to focus...

Anything goes and nobody knows
That light flows from your hands
Ebbing, I retreat from your life
Knowing you’ll see it from my eyes
Eventually...

My acrylic heart shows through
And dreams release me
Sharing visions and decisions
Growing into the women we are

I see blue and I smile
Knowing you can’t be far...

Now I can’t seem to define
What it is you do
Stumbling and crumbling
Hoping to live through my scars

I see you and I sigh
Knowing you can’t be far...

Random Words (turned into a rant)

2005-04-30T10:15:00.000+03:00

When the crickets fly over the moon shine I will lay in fields of sunshine and rhinestone and chill me to the bone and the stone my Dave Matthews lullaby bye bye bye n’sync and crazy for your little crouching tiger and hidden monkey and donkey talking walking breathing life into me like a prayer your voice will take me there and lift me up when I’m falling 40 days with or without you, I can’t live, U2 and UB40 and in the springtime of his voodoo with headless chickens and spastic women and rain falling on my face, traces of you, traces of blue without a clue, you are my glue. My poo...

Sweet!

2005-04-27T11:01:00.000+03:00

Got no clue what's goin' on?

Just visit "Mustache Pete’s Desserts"

Lunar:Love:Lust

2005-04-26T10:29:00.000+03:00

Drained
Stained
Un-folding
Holding on
To whispers
Lost somewhere
Between where
You found me
And where
You lost me
Once more...

Feminized
Chiffon, lace and tweed
Needy
Desperate and disparaged
Skimmed
Trimming the ends
Running after you always
But my high heels won't let me
Not this time...

He fades again
Waxing
Waning
Waiting
For what?
Another starless sky
Another callous goodbye
Another "there there, dry your eyes"...

Awry amore
Bottled up
I’m spilling out
Unable to contain
These remains
Pale in pallor
Clouded
Shrouded
Visibility nil
Still I try to seek you out...

Happy 4:20

A little background on 4:20

And here's what the (urban) dictionary has to say about it..

Pipe Dream...

2005-04-17T10:43:00.000+03:00

Pipe dream. n. "A fantastic notion or vain hope".

Alluding to the fantasies induced by smoking an opium pipe, (this term has been used more loosely since the late 1800's).

e.g: "I have this pipe dream about winning an Olympic gold medal in the 100 m freestyle".

(That is but one of many)

So, What's YOUR pipe dream?
