wants for sale




According to the secret, if i constantly visualize what i want in life, think about it, see myself getting it and enjoying it, then the universe will work it's magic and mysteriously send me what i have been craving for. A lot of people believe that, but others choose to take the matter out of the universe's hand and get what they want themselves.
Christine and Justin are a young couple from New York who came up with this interesting idea of drawing what they wanted, and selling the painting for the exact price of what it is they wanted. For instance, they drew a painting of an iPhone and they plan to sell that painting for about $600, according to them exactly what it costs to buy one. Another example is a painting of buffalo wings, which they plan to sell for $12.7. I don't know how this is supposed to work for the abs and the joke paintings but the idea is very original and interesting. They sell their paintings on their wantsforsale website.

great movies that time forgot

The nightmare terror
of the slithering eye that unleashed agonizing horror on a
screaming world

bored kuwaities are not stupid convention

The host of the show in the stadium says "We are all here today to prove to the world that bored kuwaities are not stupid. Can I have a volunteer?" One bored kuwaiti steps up. The host says to him "What is 15 plus 15?" After 15 or 20 seconds he says "Eighteen."

Obviously everyone is a little disappointed. Then 80,000 bored kuwaities start cheering "Give him another chance, give him another chance." The host says "Well since we've gone to the trouble of getting 80,000 of you here and the world wide press, I guess we can give him another chance."

So he says "What is 5 plus 5?" After nearly 30 seconds he eventually says "Ninety?" The host sighs - everyone is crestfallen and the bored kuwaiti starts crying and 80,000 other bored kuwaities start yelling "Give him another chance, give him another chance."

The host, unsure whether or not he is doing more harm than damage, eventually says "Ok! One more chance. What is 2 plus 2?" The bored kuwaiti closes his eyes and after a whole minute eventually says "Four."

Around the stadium 80,000 bored kuwaities start yelling "Give him another chance, give him another chance."

the worst ad ever?

Question: How do you combine the hosting of the rugby world cup and the slogan "capital of love" to create the perfect advertisement?

poppa's got a brand new bag

i wanted to change the template a very long time ago but never really got to it. Besides, i wouldnt know what to do exactly. But finally, with kuwait femme's help (she did everything, i just cheered) we have a new look! I might go crazy these next few days adding all sorts of things and widgets and trying new stuff. Oh, the theme as you can see clearly is tetris, the game am currently addicted to at work. I've put a small version of the game on the left and a slightly bigger one at the bottom of the blog, am gonna leave it like this until i decide which one to keep. So enjoy the game and the occasionally interesting posts :)

ihate


is it just me or is the iphone hype getting a little bit out of hand? i mean, look at the picture above, at first you'd think this guy won an olympic gold medal while overcoming cancer and saving a cat from a burning building all at once. I think apple has one of the worlds best marketing strategies and teams for getting people so worked up about a phone. Any blogger who checks safat is bound to find at least one person posting something about the new iphone everyday. I admit that i too fell under the Apple spell and put up an "iphone post" in this blog. Is it a good phone, sure it's good and more, do we have something better to talk about? definitly! So this is a public service message, please no more iphone posts, lets look at the big world out there, we're bound to find something more interesting to write about ;p

waiting for prayer


whats worst then waiting for fu6oor is waiting for prayer time. It's 3:22 am, am tired and i want to sleep. I know i have to get up earlier tomorrow cuz for some reason traffic seems to have tripled in ramadan. I already showed up late for work today and i dont wanna do that again. For a moment i think that i should just go to sleep and pray whenever i wake up, but it's ramadan and i know i'll feel guilty.
In my eagerness not to get thirsty tomorrow i drank three glasses of water and am feeling so bloated right now. Dont you hate it when you feel that you must eat because el emsaak is in a few minutes? I planned to lose 5kgs this ramadan, too optimistic it seem's but i wont give up. I've gained a whopping 11kgs since last december and it doesnt feel good. But the thing is i always hear people say it's next to impossible to lose weight in ramadan, especially the kuwaiti ramadan. So i've put up a poll to see what you guys believe, can i lose 5kgs in ramadan or should i stop worrying and just enjoy the 9ab el gafsha? ;p

waiting for fu6ooor


i think everybody would agree that the worst time of day in ramadan is the last hour or so before fu6oor. We know ena mabuga shay 3al fu6ooor so automatically we prepare ourselves to eat, yet the minutes start to pass slower and slower until it feels like it has come to a complete stop. Right now my father and brother are watching arsenal lose, my mom busy with the last minute details of fu6oor, and am posting. Lately i've grown the habit of sleeping just 15 minutes before fu6oor, a sorta power nap that gets me through the worst 15 minutes of the day. It's been working for me so far but i dont want to get used to it. So, tell me, how do you make your time pass in the last few dreaded minutes before fu6oor?

back

I've been away for a little while now, staying true to my name i was bored with blogging. It happens from time to time. I've been blogging for about 3 years. There were times when i used to be addicted to it. The worst of it was whenever i saw or heard something interesting my first thought would be "am gonna blog about it". There were other times when i just simply forgot about it for weeks.
Anyways, as you all know the recent hype around kuwaiti blog's is the iphone. Apparently some people downloaded some iprogram that they install in the iphone to make it work here in ikuwait. I have no idea how it works and i dont care, i've seen ithe phone and am looking to get ione asap. There are some people in kuwait selling it for 250KD, which is highway robbery in my opinion cuz the iphone only costs $399. That said, i might actually buy it for 250KD, what can i say, am too eager to wait for it to arrive and too lazy to "hack it" and unlock the thing to make it work in kuwait.
