My 2006 Oscar Moments

Ok So am I the only crazy one who woke up at 4 a.m to watch the Oscars LIVE and then head straight to work to rot there for the next 12 hours? Looks like I was the only one.

These Oscars inspired me to give my own version of 2006 and its unique moments...so here is my list:

Best Quote: John Stewart in 78th Annual Academy Awards: "For those of you who are keeping score at home, I just want to make something very clear: Martin Scorsese (Director of Taxi Driver, Goodfellas, Cape Fear, Casino, Gangs of New York, Aviator), ZERO Oscars; Three 6 Mafia (singers of "its hard out here for a pimp"), ONE Oscar."

Best Movie: V for Vendetta

Best Videogame: Halo 2

Notable Achievement: 11 p.m. to 10 a.m.---11 hours straight playing Halo 2 in 2 player mode..:D:D:D:D

Happiest Moment: "Grosso steps up for the penalty....AND HE SCOOOOOORES...ITALY WIN THE WORLD CUP...CAMPIOOOOOOOOOOOOOONI DEL MONDOOOOOOOO"

thrilling moment: going through the dark tunnel in the "italian job" game in Paramount Wonderland

Depressing moment: standing in front of the mirror to check if my voice is still working after spending 72 hours of sickness with high fever, hungry (living only on cereals, oranges and apples), laptop is in toshiba maintenance...college on strike...roomate is away in montreal..neighbors are not available..and weather is very cold outside with me crawling in a basement and almost forgetting the existence of sunlight

Shocking moment: tragic death of my cousin.

Annoying and Time-wasting moment: wasting 2 hours of my precious life watching "little man" (I was so pissed off that I made up for it by going to “Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man’s chest”)

Worst Conversation I had: check it out here

The hate-myself moment: 1 a.m. in downtown Toronto, chilling with the usual bunch of losers who were kicked out with at least 5 or 6 clubs we wanted to go to...listening to some crap by 2 Jewish ISRAELI bitches (one was pimping her friend out)...we got one of them high and was talking to us about how sexy her mom is..and the other one was telling us why she NEEDS to have her tongue pierced..all of this while eating a shawerma with them in front of a Lebanese restaurant on the same day that there was the first raid of Israel on Lebanon....I ponder the thought for a minute...then I take another bite of my sandwich.

I’ll add more if I have any ;)

A New Vision for terrorists

Lately I've been watching a lot of documentary terrorist attack movies, some Al-Qaeda movies and even the tv-series 24. Its all part of my self-educating course "terrorism 101". Its just Life keeps bombarding you with all kinds of reasons that justifies the need to express your frustration by any means necessary. Moreover, it will serve as a different career path in case my current career plan fails.

It took me a while to figure out where I would belong. Shotguns and rifles would not suit me as I don't trust myself around them. I've always been known for my "friendly fires". So you don't wanna be around me if I ever have a gun. I'd love snipers but I have this heart condition (irregular heartbeats) so that's out of the question too. Heist…well, my professional mentor has announced his retirement and I doubt he'll ever give away the secrets of the trade easily. Bombs…it doesn't take a brainer to do it. Just get 2 colorblind guys and I can already imagine the conversation they'll have when they want to connect the right wires to the bomb:

"it's the blue vire"

"no it's the red vire"

"no it's the blue vire"

"oh…they all look green to me"

KA-BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

Anyway, I decided that the best thing for me is to take a managerial position where I'd be responsible for "strategic planning and operation management". I am really dangerous when my dysfunctional twisted mind starts thinking.

Let's take last week, for example, I've been really thinking about valentine's day and wishing others happy valentines day till I paused for few minutes hesitating whether I shall greet my Lebanese friend or not. As some of you know, 14^th Feb represented the tragic death of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. So the joy and the happiness of valentine are really tasteless for Lebanon (or let's say most Lebanese). Another example was our exceptional Muslims Eid Al-Adha this year where Saddam Hussein was executed on the 1^st day of Eid. Maybe these examples were just coincidental although I highly doubt it..but it was just the clue I needed for my master plan that'll definitely step up the severity and significance of future terrorist activities.

So to achieve our next objective, we need the attacks to be more emotionally devastating and to have an eternal effect. This can be simply done by carefully scheduling the attacks to be on significant meaningful holiday or celebration dates. Imagine how people would react if the next terrorist activities were targeted on Christmas and Easter for example. Let's take it a further step and let it be planned in a way so that a high ranked commander will impersonate Santa Clause and plant explosive gifts under Christmas trees. And the cherry that'll top it all would be by having the Christmas trees self-explode all at same time. You can imagine the same thing for Easter where you'd overload the Market with explosive Easter Eggs.

Christmas, Easter, Labor Day, Valentine, Mothers day, New Year, Thanksgiving and many more shall be remembered as another 9/11. Imagine the devastation and the suffering people will have to go through if you are going to ruin the only days where they find their salvation. People will LIVE the terror and their life will never be the same. It'll take many years for it to heal (this is if it'll ever heal).

Wow…I can't believe I ever thought of that…I think its even a personal challenge that I even considered blogging this. Enjoy reading and let me know what you think ASAP before I somehow disappear by some unknown authorities or this blog gets deleted or blocked BY MISTAKE

Repent your filth V 2.0

In reference to Repent your filth posted by KJ comes my own version where today I've attended one of the worst Friday prayers in my life.

Whenever we decide to go to Friday prayer, we usually go to one of two mosques for 2 of the famous best sheikhs in Saudi Arabia. The one near my house is Hani Al-Refaai and the other one is Sheikh Tawifq Al-Sayegh (I KNOW…this guy has his own website :D). They have nice Friday speeches and are among best reciters of the quran.

The problem with the latter one is that he doesn't always come. Every once in a while, Al-Sayegh doesn't show up and an unknown Sheikh replaces him. Today I was among those unfortunate who had to pollute my ears with nonsense by one of those unknown ignorant sheikhs.

1. It was about marriage and how young men and women should get married early and how organizations and parents should encourage marriage. The topic was extremely boring, useless and pointless.
   
2. Many Arabic and grammatical errors. The hadiths and the quran was poorly recited. Its like this guy has never been taught Arabic grammar in his life
   
3. He literally said "if the parents can't get their sons and daughters married, then they should go to the SULTAN"…a SULTAN? Since when was this speech written? A SULTAN? :S
   
4. He literally said: " some girls may rather continue their studies or keep on working not to sacrifice their job and delay the marriage which is ultimately wrong..If she is short-sighted, her parents should enlighten her and take best decision for her sake and let her marry at an early age"…I was boiling inside out..I was offended even if I am not a girl…is this guy really sane? He wants girls not to continue their studies and leave their work to go and marry? Who said this? There is NOTHING in Islam that says a girl should marry rather than study or work..and how can I even trust a so-called hypocrite sheikh who through out his 30 minute speech, he used only one verse of the quran and one hadith…..
   
5. In a mindless effort to tell us a story of the corruption that young men get exposed to, he literally said: "one of the foreigners, specifically a Syrian, tried smuggling 20 000 CDs full of porn and sex movies"….I felt that my intelligence has been insulted. There are two things that ticked me off in this so-acclaimed story. First of all, out of decency, there is no need to mention the nationality. Why does he have to create problems? Just say a foreigner…why mention he is Syrian? 2^nd of all, 20 000? FOR GOD'S SAKE…20 000? What kind of an idiot would ever consider the possibility of smuggling 20 000 porn movie CDS? If he have a server and time to download all porn movies available on internet, then he won't manage to fill 20 000 CDs…you might argue that he had few movies and he made copies, but I highly doubt he is sooo dumb not to consider copying those movies here in KSA..its not like we live in the stone age and in a country where there are no Cd-writers…and let's just say for the sake of argument, he had 20 000 Cds…20 000…HOW..HOW will you smuggle them? If he had 2 trucks and he managed to fill all of them with CDs, he won't even manage to fill 20 000 Cds... THAT'S enough…I am tired and sick of thinking about this…
   

 

This was, indeed, by far the worst prayer I had. It was sooo bad that I considered reverting my beliefs and religion for a while..I swear to Lucifier that I really really wanna become a terrorist and my sole purpose is targeting those people who pollute our minds with their rubbish unnecessary speechs and their mere existence.

An Intimidated Decision

Ok here I am, on blogspot. I was actually coerced by Kinan to migrate to blogspot. I am telling you guys, he is defnitiely working for blogspot. I wasted precious hours of my life hardcoding HTML codes to link my archives and my previous posts that are on ĦΔШζΔ to blogspot.

My new blog still needs more tuning and refining. I've been a follower of some blogs such as MsLola, Libran Madness, StevenNovak and Omernos. But you guys update your blog alot so its hard to follow up. Anyway, I hope that I'll be able to contribute more to the blogospherian community.

I hope this will satisfy you Master Kinan. Now remove that gun from my back. There is no need to wallpaper the room with my grey matter and I still believe its too early for KJ to use my bulbus abraini for his jar of juice.
