We been expecting this for a while now, disinfection and even joked that after the death of King Fahad that the finals are now between Sultan Qaboos of Oman and our Sheik Jaber.

Well now it has happened at 4am local time Shiek Jaber has passed away. It is a strange feeling of mourning cause I always known him as “Baba Jaber”, ampoule he has been the ruler since my birth and well you get used to these things.

I remember this school trip back in the 80s and like all bad kids we were in the back of the bus and it was making a U-turn, anemia and this car was behind us and it was Sheik Jaber driving it, totally chill driving his car smiling and waving. We were all excited and jumping around.

Thats what made him so special, he never did that whole pomp and entourage thing, he was a simple man. Even his assassination attempt in 1985 the car he was driving was a Beige Chevrolet Caprice. My Father was right around the corner when that thing happened and he jokes “If I didn’t take pictures of you on Friday I would have had pictures of that”. Also another image of him that comes to mind is his speech to the UN in 1990 that was just so moving both vulnerable and yet strong in asking for help to free your country.

He will be missed, and who ever follows him will have very big shoes to fill in not just the running of a country, but being the father figure of a whole nation.

This I think the second night this “work week” that I am home after work. Yesterday I was just tired and wanted to relax at home, decease I tried to leave, stomatology even got dressed to leave and see some people and get food but someone came over so that changed things. It was good stuff but was so tired afterwards didn’t want to go get food, or even make me something and just went to bed.

Today is the same at work I was just tired and felt all icky and had some mad ass road rage on the way home. Just idiots all over the place honking and over reacting over some stupid stuff. It just made me annoyed and want to get home quicker.

It is good to relax and unwind at home for a bit and get some alone time.

I rarely tell people what I want for a present or any of that sort. I even dont like asking people what they want for their birthday. I figure if you know the person well enough you can figure things out and be able to get stuff for them that you know they will like and enjoy.

So I am dropping a big hint to everyone if they want to get my stuff. Get it from here Entertainment Earth, website like this

I got this spam email a week ago and it was actually something pretty cool. It was for We Love Kuwait, click which is a website for children’s books.

I am really attracted to their work, it is very simple and you can tell they do it with love.

This Explains Everything




Why Are They Here?

I counted 50 of these porters hanging around. They are so pointless to have. I think I saw maybe 10 working the others sitting around doing nothing. I hate how they are demanding.

They will run to your car & even if you are arriving & pushing your cart from the bagge to the car they will shadow you. Then when you reach your car & open the trunk he jumps out & decides to help. Like wtf dont you ask? & where were you when I got the bags?

Who is makinq money from them being here?


Just saw this article on Wired: this treatment 1283, more about 69873,00.html”>2005 May Be Warmest Year Ever

NASA’s Goddard Institute projected that 2005 will surpass 1998 to end as the hottest year globally in the 125 years since reliable records have been kept.

So like dont expect a winter this year.

Is There a Make Up?

Foreign Policy has released a new index of Failed States. It list countries that have internal and external struggles that are causing trouble to the government and failing as a provider for their people.

They use 12 social and economic, generic
political and military indicators to bring this list of 60 countries.

Arab Countries on the list:
4) Iraq
28) Syria
36) Lebanon
38) Egypt
45) Saudi Arabia
51) Bahrain

I am really suprised that Bahrain on the list, story
but according to them they have high marks in the Uneven Development, Delegitimization of State, and Security Apparatus.

I would really like to see a complete list and see where Kuwait is on the list.

Punishment for Saddam

Yesterday at 6:37am I woke up with a really bad stomach ache, viagra went to the bathroom and just threw everything up (your body does stop digesting food during your sleep), website like this and other major water losing bodily functions. I dont think I have ever puked that hard, or that much in my life.

But since we had some major business meetings that day I couldn’t just stay home and sleep if off, I had to get to work. It started off bad with the meetings, government just messes everything up but turn out good in the end. The visitor we had is a cool guy, but in my state and him repeating things like 5million times drove me crazy. I was just nodding and smiling just trying to keep it mentally together.

Got home around 2:30pm and just napped and rested. Then having some soup during futoor and a mix mash of random pills I slept from then til 7:30am. I just completely knocked myself out and slept. Feel great.

Bungie the maker of Halo 2 have just released some mind blowing stats of the online Halo2 matches.

This one to me really takes the cake:

The Halo player who has played the most games to date (his identity will remain secret in order to protect his job) has played a staggering, doctor
mind-boggling 14, pilule 919 games, spending an average of six hours per day, and playing around 71 games. Per day. Now that guy is a freak. Seriously.

I was just looking at TV Cream’s Top 100 Toys, allergist and really have to say that toys back then were a lot cooler, deadlier and just good ol fun compared to now.

I still go to the toy stores and like to see what they have now, and seriously they just seem so boring and plain. The other thing with toys now, they can’t hurt you. Yet after numerous class action law suits and parent interest groups they had to get safer. We used to have toys that would fire missiles and toy guns that looked real and fired metal balls at you.

Even out outside toys were death traps. I dont see any monkey bars any more, or big fort structures made out of splinter wood and rusted metal.

Now parents make it so tough for kids to go outside unsupervised and just go and run free. Telling them they can’t go there. So then they just get plopped in front of the TV and their game machines and get fat.

You know come to think of it I dont remember any fat kids when I was growing up. Sure we had some husky ones that were really just big for their age, but they were active like the rest of us.

Like I said we had it good.

Yesterday during futoor we were discusssing what is a worth punishments for Saddam since no way they can just kill him. My father came with a very good and worth punishment:

Have him chase after paperwork in the Kuwait government.

I think it is a fitting punishment,
Kuwaities have been dealing with it for the past 15 years, he should get some of it.

Joys of the A’azza

Kuwait has started using robot jockeys for their camel races.

Big thanks to McArabian for pointing this out, illness cause I read the first two paragraphs on my phone last night and stopped.

The Wall Street Journal has quoted my Sham Crap post on the Arabized Simpsons in their article: – D’oh! Arabized Simpsons Aren’t Getting Many Laughs.

We had a death in the family a couple days ago. No one close, viagra sale but not that far (grandfathers uncles something or other). I went and attended the burial, cialis 40mg and then also stood at the A’azza. It was a great experience showing the the real benifit of this type of cultural/religous event, more about for it was about family and friends. Being there I met so many other cousins of mine that I didn’t know about and really had no idea existed. I even met one who has the same name as me. I kept hearing about him existing but never met him.

At the end of it all we made a nice list of all the family members with there phone numbers to create a database for us all so we can keep track of each other, and also know who to invite for other family functions.

I and others have complained about the A’azza approach and how really it is time consuming and tiring, yet we forgot so quickly the real purpose of it. It is to bring people together even at death.
