A Lebanese guy chats with me and he was not that great looking or my type at all. (I can be picky eh?) Plus I have no interest in Lebanese guys. Nothing against them, but I am just not interested in that particular nationality at all. So anyways, he starts a conversation with me and acts like a total hormonal idiot that he is and says,

“Wow, you are beautiful. I never seen such beauty.”

I said, “hmm, thanks.”

He says, “Are you Lebanese?”

I said, “No. I am Palestenian.”

He said, “Are Palestinian girls that pretty? I never knew. ”

This is when I got mad. 

I said, “Sorry we are not fake.”

He said, “Why did you say fake?”

I said, “Fake. I am not fake. This is how I was born to look like.”

He said, “Oh, what do you mean by that?”

At this point I was frustrated by his dumbness!

I said, “I don’t need to take a loan from the bank to get plastic surgery and fix my God given nose and mouth!”

He said, “Oh, are you saying all Lebanese girls get plastic surgeries?”

I said, “And why are you surprised that Palestinian girls can be pretty?”

He said, “I never met a Palestinian girl before worth looking at.”

I said, “Well, and I never met a Lebanese guy who wasn’t gayer than gay and acts like a hormonal walking machine.”

He said, “Fuck you bitch.”

I said, “I guess I live up to the stereotype of a bitchy Palestinian girl eh?”

I am mean and I can’t stand guys who can’t say hi and start a line with such idiocity thinking I am cheap!

You know.. I was thinking about this.. if I want a guy I think I will go for a traditional bull headed Palestinian guy or maybe bull headed Syrian. They are both the same. Too much pride and thinking they can rule the house! So much fun arguing with such guys!! Life would be challenging and fun that way..

Maybe I don’t like compliments from guys.. hmm.. lol

I know.. I am so weird. I think it is a Palestinian thing.

So I found this to compliment this post,

Translation: Type of ways to torture (Arabic) women.

Lebanese: make them dress ethically (religiously.)

Kuwaiti: don’t get her a maid.

Sudanese: comb her hair.

Syrian: don’t take her out anywhere.

Jordanian: marry someone else other than her.

Palestinian: whatever you try to do, you can’t DO ANYTHING to her!

I know it’s a bit racist, but I didn’t write it. I just got it on facebook! But hey, I am Palestinian.. everybody else is racist towards me!

Angry, Blah Blah, They said what?, Whatever!

First and for most, I would like to thank everyone who participated in this blog event. It is a great way to find more interesting reads and interact with one another a bit more. I am so happy with the results thus far, and I noticed that so many people have written a post ahead of time and automatically published it at midnight of the 27th. So I am doing the same. So technically I have written this post long long time ago, and I am currently sleeping and dreaming of Hawaii!

So, I have a huge list of RSS feeds of all kinds of people’s writings. However, I got new favorites and old favorites. I couldn’t come up with only one. I like lots!

My favorites are:

Moey’s: he is quite a character. I love his blog for three reasons.

1. he is a graphics designer and damn good at it
2. he doesn’t give a crap about what he writes and who criticizes him
3. his satire and humour towards certain subjects is quite comical to read. I find it hilarious and I actually laugh out loud. (See how I spelled out lol!)

Diary of Asoom: this girl is too smart! Way smart that there is hope for the evolution of Arab girl’s mentalities. I love her blog so much that I actually enjoy reading her thoughts. I feel smarter when I read it and I feel someone else is writing the same things I was about to write. Asma gives me some of that writer’s smartness! This is my favorite post of hers about giggling girls which I couldn’t agree more and make me want to smack down every half brained female out there!

ChiKapaPPi: this girl can seriously make you want to get off your seat and shake your booty! lool This girl is awesome.. She writes about anything. I mean ANYTHING. Even the slippers she is wearing she would take a pic and make you laugh and wonder why she is posting about it! One day she is happy, the next pissed off and then suddenly she is happy. She is a roller coaster of dramatic comedy! I can’t wait for her 3 or 4 posts a day!

and last but not let’s forget..

ME! I hate and love my blog. Honestly, if I wasn’t writing this blog and just a visitor, I would be so attracted to the craziness and messed up thoughts of the writings. I would also hate it because of my stubbornness and my over honesty of my thoughts. What Arabic girl thinks that way? You guys want to know something? I NEVER EVER EVER RE-READ WHAT I HAVE WRITTEN ON MY BLOG! I just post and let people comment. Sometimes I reply, and other times I ignore because half the time I forget what I have written and I am too lazy to read it again. Symbolically, I characterize my self as a sloth. “Sloths move only when necessary and even then very slowly.” *coughing* Ehm ehm…

Honestly, I regret ever making a blog for the wrong reasons but I can’t get enough of it! I was also told that my site is purely a Dramatic Comedy that people cannot believe how moody, honest, and funny I am. I can’t help what I am. In the end, I like to bitch, complain, and entertain. You see, I can rhyme! Maybe I will start singing soon.. I got a kick ass ugly voice just like most singers out there!

Anyways.. I love everyone else’s blog as well. I read a lot like I said. My blog roll does not contain the only blogs I read. I got many others in my RSS feed reader as well.

Thanks again for participating. Until next year. Same time, same place, maybe new favorites!

Blah Blah, Funny, Sleepy Post

It seems to be the common trend now on the Internet.. Who has a blog? Do your employees have a blog? What are they hiding? What are they really thinking when they go to your office for a meeting about how messed up their final product is and can’t put two sentences together to save their life! Can you as a boss learn more about your employees’ daily lives and thoughts by reading their blog? I am writing about this because I browse a lot and read a LOT of blogs a day. I think I averaged it out that at least 90 minutes of my day is dedicated to blog reading, and I have a list of many. (I know I don’t comment on every blog, sorry guys, but I do read it!) I am one of those people who want to know how others think and how in reality we are really all similar to one another. So I read Dooce’s blog daily. (Not my ultimate favorite blog, so I am not ahead of the game.. that’s tomorrow! ) I love the daily pictures she posts, and I was reading the about me page, (which many of you avoid to read to know the blogger better.) So you daily obsessed bloggers know that she got fired from her job because of her blog a few years ago and started a big blogger controversy about how much freedom can a blogger really have?

So she wrote this interesting quote,

My advice to you is BE YE NOT SO STUPID. Never write about work on the internet unless your boss knows and sanctions the fact that YOU ARE WRITING ABOUT WORK ON THE INTERNET.

I thought it was interesting and actually true..

I think not telling your boss could be a problem in the future. (They will find out sooner or later.) However, what if you told your co-workers? If they know about your blog they can easily blackmail you. I think that is where the problems really start. How many people know about it and how much can you get in trouble for it?

On on a more positive note, a lot of companies encourage their employees to have a blog. Unfortunetly, I have seen many that are not personal but more of development and news about events and stuff the company is holding. It is still interesting to read an employee’s take on thing. It really is. We always read the top view of things, but never the bottom where it is a lot more interesting to read.

What I encourage others to do, even if you don’t have a blog is to start one. It is simple, easy, and free. If you spend time reading blogs, then writing your own is not that hard at all. (You spend numerous hours chatting on MSN!) I know most of you say, “I don’t have time.” “I don’t know what to talk about.” “My life is so boring, who wants to read it?”

You know what I say about that, GROW UP and do something productive with your time. Some people out there really could be interested in what you have to stay. It will also teach you a few writing skills for sure! And you won’t believe how many people I see in the library just sitting there reading other people’s blogs! It’s scary!

A blog reader’s question:

“But Mona, you are telling us it is ok, and you have a blog too. Does your boss know?”

YES! So leave me the hell alone and I like writing and bitching and complaining about my life! I am mentality disturbed suffering from Major Depression and use writing as a means to speak out! I have hard time talking. My boss knows I am completely crazy and a wacko, and no I don’t regret ever telling him about it! Right boss?

Case closed! Anyone else has a blog that I don’t know about and want me to become a reader? It has to be a real blog and not an artificial one that just steals news from other news sites and blogs. It is just boring and I really don’t like those.

PS.. I am like other people who read my blog; is scientifically classified as a person diagnosed with epicaricacy or Schadenfreude! (Yes, I know German!)

It means “pleasure taken from someone else’s misfortune.” loool

Yes I am evil.. muwahahaha.. Oh man.. I need a drink.. and sugar. A lot of SUGAR! It will calm me down a bit.. Pheww.. I got a little excited there.

Blah Blah, Funny, Random Thoughts, Whatever!

Sometimes we try our best to work very hard and efficiently, but don’t we wish our minds were clear and focused at all times? How do we really focus on what’s important in our lives and what we are supposed to do when there are so many outside factors that effect our decisions? Us humans have a specific obsession with being diligent, but we have no desire in accomplishing or reaching that level of diligence at all. But why?

Lack of motivation: we are very unmotivated in what we must accomplish. The more we are given to do, the less we feel like doing it. It is the first sign of procrastination and a serious work related problem. There is no incentive to accomplish one’s work if there is a lack of motivation.

Lack of ethical discipline and pride: over the years, humans have tried their best to get all the rights they need to become individuals with a say and eliminate oppression; hence, this goes to us lucky ones living in a first world nation who achieved such privileges. However, the more we get, the less we want to give back. We become stubborn and don’t really care about what we want because we have “something” that will always back us up. Our rights. Our rights made us become careless people without any ethics, disciple and pride in what we can contribute back. There is no incentive to take pride in one’s work if there is a lack of ethical discipline and carelessness.

Lack of creativity: all humans are creative individuals, yet most of us choose not to be. I am not talking about being artistic or whatever. No. I am talking about coming up with new ideas. Someone else did, why can’t you? The first step in coming up with a new idea is to have a little bit of imagination. Come up with something different and original. Some may not agree with you. Some may even criticize you, but it is not a factor to give up. You want to do something, so present your idea. There is no limit on being creative, but there is a limiting factor. That factor is other people who are ahead of you. Why? Because of your lack of diligence and motivation to do anything about it.

Lack of concentration: this could be the worst factor that contributes to our lack of diligence. Our concentration. We cannot concentrate when there are a million things going on in our heads. Why can’t we just focus on one important thing? What is it important to us? What do we really want to get done? Why can’t we get it done on time? Why can’t we just lock our selves up and get the task done without any interruptions?

What will give us the drive to become diligent?

Examples.

School: We care about grades. We want to do well all the time because what we get will effect our choices in the future.

Wrong: some of us could care less about working hard to get the grades. We can be the worst procrastinators on earth and end up doing better than those who try too hard. So who is the winner in this situation? Who is more diligent?

Work: the more you pay me, the more work I do.

Wrong: you can pay someone six figures and treat them like crap and they will end up doing a half assed job. Money will not make a person more diligent. It’s how you treat them.

So are you diligent in doing what is important in your life?
