i made a funny

i was talking to my boss and my ex-boss .. my ex-boss is now manager of a different department .. so they were telling me about some guy who works as a sales rep who wants to transfer to our department .. and they told me do you want him .. i was like no ma biddi 3arab .. they said laish .. i told them la2anno il 3arab 3a6leen .. they said 6ab ma inta 3arabi .. i said ma ana 3a6el .. my boss couldn't stop laughing ..

in other news i was driving home from work today and i was listening to the radio .. my ipod died remember .. so this lady calls in and as soon as she was on the air she began to babble about how thrilled she was to finally get on .. and the host was like yes it's all of our listeners dream to get on the air .. and she was like yes but other listeners have other ways to get on i only have one .. so the host was like what ways are those .. and the lady says they can text .. and the host says well why can't you text .. and she said oh dear child i can't read or write .. of course all this is in khaleeji arabic mind you .. and the host was like ohhhh 7abeebti .. it was very awww inspiring .. lame ..

happy hour

puzzle fo shizzle my nizzle

i think i'm going to buy a puzzle ... one with at least a thousand pieces ... i used to have a passion for puzzles when i was younger ... not sure what inspired me to think of buying one ... but i think i'm going to ... i'll go to toys'r'us and see what they have ... then when i'm done putting it together ... i'll just put it back in the box ... trying to think of what would serve as my assembling area ...

fly like an eagle

remeber space jam ... that looney tunes movie with michael jordan in it ... well it seems the movie website is still up ... it's like the internet equivalent of cave drawings ...

retro

slice of life

we used to have a science teacher called mr. cason ... rhymes with mason ... or jason ... anyway ... mr. cason ... and some kids started referring him as mr. no-sack ... which is funny ... then one day on the bus ... i was like guys i just realized something really funny ... cason backwards is no-sack ... and everyone was like that's how he got the name idiot ... and they laughed at me ... not my proudest moment hehe ...

another classic

nostalgic death

Fantastic Mr. Fox

who has never heard of roald dahl ... we all read his books growing up ... charlie and the chocolate factory ... danny the champion of the world ... the bfg ... james and the giant peach ... matilda ... to name a few ... he also wrote a book called fantastic mr. fox ... well it's going to be made into a movie ... it's going to be sort of an animation ... like not cartoon but handmade stop motion as you can see in the trailer ... george clooney will do the voice of mr. fox ... and meryl streep will be doing the voice of mrs. fox ... other voices include bill murray and owen wilson ... so anyway i actually remember reading this book when i was in the first grade ... so i'm looking forward to this one ...

كاد المعلم ان يكون رسولا

there's this girl i went to school with a long time ago ... she was the first girl in our class to have sex ... we were in the seventh grade at the time ... the guy she had sex with was also in our class ... it wasn't an older guy ... anyway ... thanks to facebook i know what she's up to these days ... she is working as a middle school teacher ... so i don't know i just found that sort of ironic ... or maybe it's just an arab thing ... what do you think ...

Let The Rain Fall

it's raining outside ... well it's like a light drizzle but there is water falling from the sky ... time for a stroll down memory lane ...

الحصن

yesterday i was flipping through the channels ... and i stumbled upon a channel called decision makers ... in arabic it's sani3u alqarar ... and they were showing alhusun (also known as takeshi's castle) ... according to my google search results ... the channel shows it everyday around 6:30 ... sweet!

who remembers that show ... it's such a blast from the past ... i used to love it ... it was my dream to participate in it ...

and even though you can't understand a word being said and neither can the commentator who is usually just laughing his ass off ... you still enjoy every second ...

japanese culture is so cool ...

anyway i watched the entire episode yesterday ... but as usual they couldn't conquer the fort in the end ...

there's some clips on youtube btw ... just search "الحصن" ...
