This blog will enhance your art of procrastination
I am guilty of many things in life. Like being outspoken, writing things on my humble blog without caring who reads it, trashing people that deserve it or not deserve it so much, and pointing out what’s wrong with Arabs and receiving a multitude of whining emails. However, what I don’t like is people telling me that they wasted their afternoon reading my blog.
Blasphemy! That’s the worst insult ever! Well, more like a praise actually!
This evening, I received an email from a new reader. He was not happy in the beginning. I read the first line that he wrote, and I was like shit, do I want to go on? Then I realized that his wit and charm was like no other person that ever emailed. I laughed. I laughed so hard! I told him that I have to POST IT NOW!

I’m very angry with your website. You’re turning me into an irresponsible medical student, with your well-versed blog entries and your creative subject matter. Have you no shame? I’m suppose to be studying for an anatomy exam, and I just spent three hours browsing through your web entries! Gaah! I’m not asking you to stop being a great writer, but you need to quit writing about things I agree with. It’s distracting and too pleasurable. I’ll check up on the website every now and then to make sure this doesn’t happen again. =D
Murad, I never apologize to anyone from blog reader world, but since you did top the ranks of funny and putting a big grin on my face, I do give you my sincerest apologizes for making you procrastinate from your studies. If you become a mediocre doctor in the future, I will give you full permission to do surgery on my head!











Oh, I see how it is. Call me charming and then make me complacent by posting my comments on your blog? I like your work, but I’m not impressed. I was expecting my quote on a billboard or at least in a public access television commercial. Let’s make it happen!
Here’s an idea: If I ever perform surgery on you, I’ll be sure to stitch you up with two sentences of my quote. The rest costs extra. Yeah, I live in America, and we make our patients frivolously pay for their health care …wanna fight about it? Didn’t think so.
I’m flattered that you posted my comments on your website =) now get back to this masterpiece of a blog before I waste any more of your time with my amazing thoughts.
You’re welcome, world.
Thank you, rebellious arab girl!
@Mona “If you become a mediocre doctor in the future, I will give you full permission to do surgery on my head!”… Hehe LOL… you give us all a great laugh with your blog entries and a good sense of humor. Keep it up… Distraction comes at your own risk LOL
I will admit, my procrastination has increased since I started reading your blog as well.
lol
Agreement is better than disagreement.
Very clever of them to turn what at first appears like a complaint into a total compliment. I now don’t mind being distracted by reading since I know it will be good material. Thanks and keep it up.
@Murad
You are very funny! Come back more often. I love your sense of humour. You will definitely be a fun doctor in the future!
Mona has her very own Patch Adams now?
Besides the valid points that make me nod in agreement, this blog taught me quite a few things about design. It also made me smile when I was going through a bleak transition in my life, this past summer.
