I just came across “
Subzero Blue” blog who came across
a list of
16 things it takes most of us 50 years to learn; how ironic & true! Here you go:
1. The badness of a movie is directly proportional to the number of helicopters in it.
2. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight-saving time.
3. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests you think she's pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.
4. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above-average drivers.
5. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is: age 11.
6. There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
7. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.
8. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be "meetings."
9. The main accomplishment of almost all organized protests is to annoy people who are not in them.
10. If there really is a God who created the entire universe with all of its glories, and he decides to deliver a message to humanity, he will NOT use as his messenger a person on cable TV with a bad hairstyle or in some cases, really bad make-up too.
11. You should not confuse your career with your life.
12. A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter/janitor, is not a nice person.
13. No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously.
14. When trouble arises and things look bad, there is always one individual who perceives a solution and is willing to take command. Very often, that individual is crazy.
15. Your true friends love you, anyway.
16. Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.
I’m supposed to be in Amman now, but my vacation has been extended until “further notice” for I have some things to finish, like paperwork, visits, and medical checkups for my Mom. How are my beloved people everywhere?
Now, are you interested in Japan and the Japanese culture/experience? Then you should check out Saqf’s new Blog! Ahmad Saqf is a best friend and a very talented Designer, who traveled to Japan early this month: “I am in Japan now for a Master's degree -and hopefully a Ph.D- in Visual Communication, and my main research will be on creating an Arabic Visual Language based on Japanese Visual Aesthetics” “One Jordanian seeking knowledge in Japan for a better -visual- future in the Arab World” Said Saqf. Great one Ahmad :-) and welcome to the Blogging world!
Talking about Amman, did I tell you that I was Nadim Sarraj’s new victim? :-) Before I leave to the states, my Friend, Zain, arranged a prank call with Nadim (aka Raji Douara) for a show called “Nakshet Mokh” on Mazaj FM. My God, I can’t believe what happened to me, LOL! I know that everyone heard it last week, but I didn’t! Here is a link that has a part of the prank (the 2nd part is me). Will post the whole call once I have the sound file.
Also, there is a new magazine called PULP, by grumpy gourmet. Check it out, they actually wrote about Khobbeizeh in it ( Thanx a lot Mosaab). Again, I didn’t see it yet :-( but will post more details later on.
Many thanks to Samah Atout for telling me about it. Samah was Born in Nablus, Palestine, educated in there and Castellon, Spain.
