Super talent turns commercial



Everyone knows he’s a spectacular player, but when the media and the billion dollar sports giants like Nike and other cooperates portraits him as superman, I highly disagree.

Since Maradona, No body has dazzled the football fans all around the world with such a high quality display of talent, skill and originality the way Ronaldinhio did. No doubt he’s the new magician of the number one sport of all times, but he’s going through a critical phase where his focus and concentration has been affected, the reason? Fame and Publicity. Super Rony has been occupied with commercials and media exposure that he lost track of what’s important, his quality and output has been deteriorating even before the World cup 2006 which was the solid proof of his current level of commitment to the game, he did practically nothing to Brazil, the myth of the “one man show” had lost to the giant name of Zinedin Zidane, who was the inspiration of France and took the French to the finals.

Every player has his ups and downs, but with Rony... you know exactly why he’s in this phase. Get back to the game, Rony. Go back to the time when you use to smiling after each foul instead of cursing when someone challenges you for the ball. Go back to the beautiful game and do what you do best, entertain us.


Here are some pics from the classico, he disappointed his fans once again, these comments are out of sarcasm, nothing more :)











P.s: Henry is by far a more comprehensive player than Rony; Zidane is my all time favorite.

Quote from a friend starting a career in Canada

"I know life in egypt is not easy. I also know how frustrating the work environment there could be. And the fact that no matter how hard you work, there is no money reward or even a small promise or a hint that your career could possibly improve somehow someday. . . this could really kill anyone. "

That's How Egyptians Operate

In parallel with my last “mood” or “current state of mind” or whatever, I have came across this beautiful analysis or rather observations about how freaky and weird we “Egyptians” are, I admit that this country suck in many ways, what upsets me is that we have potentials to be the best nation ever to inhabit this earth, yet we choose to be lame, stupid, arrogant, inefficient, and ego-centric.

This was posted by Ahmed Shokier on Thursday, August 31, 2006 in his blogspot: http://shokeir.blogspot.com/ , I salute his perception on his very “fine details, sarcastic, yet very deep” observations on how Egyptians tend to operate “in other words, live

Screw it, I'm getting out

I don’t belong here, I have this suffocating feeling that I must get out of here; this country is so full of distress that makes me want to puke. I’ll have to change my perspective and see if I can live abroad, Canada, Australia, even the states... I’d rather be a foreigner in any country than live as a citizen in this shithole.

I'll go this weekend and sign some immigration applications in a couple of embassies, and no thanks to ben laden, the process had become more and more complicated.

My reasons?? I have tons of fundamental reasons, but that’s for another time...

Blogging as President

This is weird, I came across this blog that I strongly believe it’s of Ahmed nejad “Iran’s President”, No kidding... A Blogger President, I’m a big fan of the guy cuz he’s modest and pure but his bold statements sometimes come off as “funny”.

Does anybody know if our president blogs? I wonder what’s the name of his blog .. so many names crossing my mind that I’d better shut up.

Anyways, check it out

The Most beautifull Woman alive !!!!!



I loved her as a child in her early movies "North" and "Home Alone 3" , I thought she was the cuteset thing I've ever seen .. Now look at her .. she's dubbed "the sexiest woman Alive"!!

Scarllet , will you marry me?

Light a candle for the Sinners



I admit that I'm not a very good person, I'm great by Comparison but this is not always an objective valid self assessment. But as I go through this life... I don’t just meet people who are bad, but they are also are most likely to go to hell when they die... I know that most of us like to think that he will go to heaven when he dies and that god will grant us his mercy, but if those sons of bitches won’t go to hell... I don’t know who will

I was teasing my mum, telling her” can hell occupy all these sinners?” remarking that there are too many sinners “hell-forever resident” grade, she sighed and told me... “they are its fuel “

Bottom line, do something in this lifetime that can get you out of this horrible finale... cuz judgment day is coming very soon, and we are everything but prepared!

The Highlight of a Crapy Day

Today I had an off campus assignment to do, on my way back to campus I took a taxi who was bold enough to give me a ride to el sherook city at 2 pm on a Ramadan hot summer day. We agreed on 50 L.E … but when we actually got there, I had this compelling desire to give em more, I gave em a single 100 L.E banknote and I wished him a blessed day. He was shocked and replied “bas dah keteer awy ya beh” = that’s too much, sir... I smiled back at him and I kept walking to the entrance.


The thing is, I hate cap drivers, Truck drivers, bus drivers and above all the micro-bus drivers... but for a moment I had this weird notion that I should give the guy a break, he didn’t beg for it or anything... it’s not the spirit of Ramadan, but from time to time .. You have to make life easier for somebody else, you must spread the idea that free kindness do exist, and it happens in the weirdest situations. I was planning to take what I paid from the university, but I guess I’m happy with this jester and I won’t do anything to degrade that thought.
