Congratulations!


أهنيء جميع المصريين على الانجاز الذي حققته مصر
باحتلال المركز الثاني عالميا في تحور فيرس أنفلونزا الطيور بفارق بسيط عن المركز الأول الذي احتلته فيتنام
نتيجه لظلم تحكيمي

Thank You Arsenal


.. for putting those over paid, over rated, over media exposed, egotistical, self professed demi-gods in their place. you have shown them how the beautiful game is played, YOU DESERVED TO WIN .


On a technical note, Fabregas has roared on the pitch(no words to express him). Cesc is a better player than scholes! he was better today and at old trafford.

The dependency issue meets gender dilema

Hmmm .. I think I agree with this!
As much as I like to think that women are independent human beings, I read more into life and religion and discover other wise.

No matter how strongly they deny it, women need men in their lives as much as I need a woman in mine, I’m not full of ego and pride to deny this natural fact. I’ll marry my future wife not for the common reasons people do marry for (companionship, sex and offspring ) but for this fundamental reason:

“ She’ll be the rock upon which I stand, The Sea upon which I float, I’m her and what I see is me, she’ll lead me through life and help me understand the best I can, she’ll complete me and provide me with security and trust

And I strongly believe that any success I’ll live up to make, she’ll have a big contribution in it. I confess to that before I’ve seen it.

Equal opportunity screamers, women right defenders, feminists and estrogen driven people …
IF GOD WANTED US TO BE THE SAME, HE WOULD HAVE CREATED US ALL THE SAME GENDER…

Leave the Kids Alone!

I know that most of you super dads and soccer mums won’t like this, but your children are overrated and overvalued, most parents have turned theirs into cult objects, they have a child fetish and it’s not healthy. Don’t tell me “well, I love my children”, EVERYBODY loves their children, doesn’t make you special.

What I’m talking about is this constant, mindless fixation that everything should revolve around children; it’s completely out of balance. The parents strive to make their child the best and insert their fears, insecurities and expectations in them, Mind this; not all children are smart and clever, Children are like any other group of people, a few winners, and a WHOLE lotta losers who are simply not going anywhere. So stop being overprotective cause it’s not in your hands and you are making them too soft.

An example of how people burn their kids on so called structure, School uniforms, bad theory, the idea that if kids wear uniforms in school it helps keep order, Don’t these schools do enough damage already? Making all these kids think alike, now they want them to look alike too?

Another example, more related to teens who parents think up to 19 years are still considered children! The smoking issue, kids do not smoke because it’s cool or some camel in sunglasses tells them to, they smoke for the same reasons adults do because it relieves anxiety and depression, and with all the identify crisis they go through at this age, it really helps. So don’t tell your child not to smoke, he won’t be convinced.

Embrace your child’s shortcomings, accept him as what he is, inspire them rather than preaching them. A person’s character is molded in the early days of his childhood years, help your kids be an effecient character, whether he goes on to lead a successful or a lousy life, at least he will grow to be a healthy person both psychologically and mentally.

Similarity

This is how Italy resembles Egypt :)

Mother do you think they’ll drop the bomb

Thank you for being so vindictive, Thank you for being selfish and egocentric, whatever happened to unconditional love? If the years has turned you into a bitter sad woman, don’t destroy my life as your venting process ... too much pride will get you to die alone.

You are a Control freak seeking a prey to boss around and humiliate, a lizard changing its color from martyr to beast. I hate you mother, and don’t rub your sacrifices on me coz every mother has done what you’ve done. I’m not yours you self obsessed woman.

Top 5: Most amazing performances as a mentally-ill character in movies

You can’t IMAGINE how hard it is to pick only 5 for this category, I’ve seen so many powerful performances, but after further analysis and some movie reviewing, I came up with these 5 incredible performances ..

5- Daniel Day-Lewis - My Left Foot
OSCAR won

4- Leonardo DiCaprio - What's Eating Gilbert Grape
OSCAR nominated

3- Edward Norton - Primal Fear/The Score
OSCAR nominated

2- Dustin Hoffman - Rain Man
OSCAR won

1- Billy Bob Thorton - Sling Blade
OSCAR nominated

Some names can come to your mind, names you thought it belong to this list, names like:

Tom Hanks – Forest Gump, The movie is spectacular, and THAT what made him win an oscar and not his own originality, plus he was not a retard, he was just “Slow”

Robert De Niro – Awakenings, I’ve seen what De Niro can do, this is not his finest performances, he can totally do better.

Sean Penn - I am Sam, he should be up there I know, but the thing is .. I liked Sean’s character but I did not like the film :(

Brad Pitt – 12 Monkeys, he was AWSOME, one of his best performances ever, but I don’t think that’s what I’m looking for, he was rather insane that menatally challenged.

any comments?

What fifa.com say about Aboutrika





Opening

"Mohamed Aboutrika was the hero of a magical night for Egypt's Al Ahly Sporting Club at the International Stadium in Yokohama, as the reigning African champions clinched a 2-1 win over Mexico's Club America and with it an impressive third place at the FIFA Club World Cup Japan 2006. "


"Starved of the ball, Aboutrika dropped back to link up with his midfield and the impact was almost immediate. Flavio served warning of what was about to come by warming Ochoa's hands with a couple of firm drives from distance before earning a dangerous free-kick in Aboutrika territory. The gifted midfielder did not disappoint, delightfully curling the ball home to give the Africans the lead. "


".... as that man Aboutrika showed yet again why he is on the shortlist for the African player of the year. After surging out of midfield and finding Flavio with a pinpoint pass, the mercurial playmaker latched on to the Angolan's return ball and calmly slotted the ball past Ochoa for his third goal of the tournament."


God Bless you AbouTrika , you are one of my personal heros
"You don't have to be a Jew
To disapprove my murder
Tears burn my eyes
Moslem or Christian Mullah or Pope
Preachers or poet who was it wrote
Give any one species too much rope
And they'll fuck it up"

Roger Waters - Too Much Rope

Top 5: Most Senseless Jobs

5- The Government employee that collects electricity money
50% of the time he doesn't find people at home and they end up paying by themselves. Not to mention he has to deal with children, maids and all sorts of people which is psychologically draining.

4-Guys who distribute flyers and adds in traffic stops
1st of all he’s distracting you with his movement back and forth, he probably hits the flyer in your face “I once had a paper cut from one of these jerks”, The principle is stupid because out of 100 flyers distributed to car drivers; while driving may I add, only 7-8 persons take a look, half of those are interested in the add itself, half of those will actually call the add owner.. So as far as strategic marketing goes, the owner of the add spent money for 100 flyers and the guy’s one day job salary to approach 1 client!!

3- The guy that parks your car "El menadi" a.k.a "El sayes"
The fastest growing occupation in Egypt, "El menadi" practically he's the guy that yells "left" and "right" and "that's it" when you park your car, meaning he "pretends" to help you park your car when 1- you didn't ask for his help, 2- he practically did nothing and 3- I won't give em a pound for a 30 seconds worth of "talk". But beware, he's not expecting a tip... he's expecting to be payed!

2-The guy that works on an elevator
For the Love of God, is it a profession to press buttons? The user of an elevator must be really stupid or really really lazy to actually need one. Not to mention he will grow to be a claustrophobic.

And finally... 1st runner up is

1-The guy/boy that works in a bathroom, handing you tissues!!
Only MEN can relate to that, The idea that a person is actually paying attention to you while you use the facility/urinal is creepy, not to mention that in his troubled mind he thinks that the faster he gives you a tissue, the better quality his services are...

plus he smiles at you after you do your business, I don't want to share a moment with you, you creepy creature, don't smile at me like I’ve just climbed the Everest, my sense of accomplishment does not include peeing or pooping !!

What kills me is that sometimes they wear formal cloth!!!!!

Psychodelic funk overdrive


I don’t usually review my music, but I need to praise these guys for at least in one of my posts.

The red and very hot chili peppers (RHCP); one of my favorite bands of all time, released their most anticipated album “Stadium Arcadium” during the summer, a double CD named “Jupiter” & “Mars”.. a very risky move that proved later the status of where they stand in the history of music business.

It is funky, rockin' and rapping. I was a little skeptical about there being 28 songs. That is always a formula for disaster. For example - see Smashing Pumpkins. But I can honestly say there are only a couple snoozers on the 2 CDs. Most of the songs are fantastic. In summary, this is RHCP's best release in over a decade. It is a must buy if you are an old fan or are new to the RCHP's sound. I am really shocked they still had it in them to release something that sounds so good, they are 40+ something and they still rock.The main reason why I love this album though is because there's so much new sound mixed with so much old sound. It's like the Chili Peppers are evolving without losing what made us love them in the first place. And that's a hard thing for a band to do!.

I highly recommend watching their video “Danni California”on Youtube , they guys still got what it takes to dazzle minds.

when I counted out my demons ..

A very short list of what’s wrong "in one week period":

1- When your boss tells you to stay up late to supervise a lame ass event “talent show performed by 10 students !!!” and reassures you’ll have a ride back home “ my work is practically in the desert”, and you end up going home on your own anyways .. That’s crap.

2- When you go home to find out your cousin’s car has been smashed as a tin can because off some kid driving recklessly at 2 am in the morning... and he get’s away with it... that’s crap
“My cousin will get married next month, he bought his car after a 3 years saving for it”.

3- When you whole masters degree in on jeopardy because of some silly liable free paper that needs to be signed from the freakin university and they have been stalling it for monthes to date... that’s crap.

4- when your mother treats you like you are her 16 year old “daughter”, that’s whole lotta wrong...

5- when your don’t know where your career is heading to... that’s crap.

6- when a female friend asks your opinion on some guy who proposed to her, and flirts with you in the process... that’s crap.

7- when you carry out all the donkish work and not get appreciated while others advance because off their smiles and laughs... that’s crap.

8- when you are not in control anymore... that’s crap.
