I know this one: Trouble 1, and this one: Trouble 2, and maybe this one: Trouble 3 are continually causing havoc. People want to comment so bad but end up emailing me instead. It has been going on for months and I have been ignoring these emails for a reason. However, I have been noticing a trend in the way Arabs are perceiving me because of the stuff I write on here.

So today I want to discuss a bigger issue. Why do many Arabs seem far too emotional when they start talking about themselves or when others talk about them?

Look at me for example. When I am pissed off and feeling like crap, I take unknown visitors words to heart and want to scream from anger at such pointless comments. I keep telling my self that it is about time to end this crap and get on with my life. Then from day to night I change my mind instantly without questioning the reason why I did.

Arabs are the same. I think it is in our blood or something. We seem to be so emotionally driven by anything that we always forget the bigger picture. So far in my whole 29 years of life, I have NEVER met an Arab who was NOT far too emotional about the most mundane things. Why is that? Are we just raised this way?

Is it too much love from the family or the emotional control from our families that caused this?

Also guilt! We are raised to always feel guilty. We feel guilty about anything. So to push aside such an emotion when we do anything that is remotely unapproved by authority, we end up doing stuff in secrecy without anyone’s knowledge to erase this guilt from our heads.

However, all the previous are excuses of the bigger issue. The real reason for all this is what we see on TV and read in the news. The way we react to it and our helplessness to do anything about it. We see how Arabs are treated and the crap that is said about us. We see our families in Palestine, our neighbors in Iraq, and the way the western media controls the oil driven Arab country’s way of life. So we sit there and watch how our culture is falling, how our traditions are dying,  and how the simplest means of life are controlled by others.

No wonder we are emotional.

Culture, Palestine, Religion, They said what?, Whatever!

As days fly by ever so swiftly, so does my lack of blogging attempts.

I have been sporadically posting on my blog to avoid problems. You see, it is me V.S the entire 250,000,000+ Arabs out there. No seriously. I am not joking. My blog is written in such a way that causes an entire culture to get pissed off.

1. I get the overly religious sect that think they are doing me a favour by reciting verses of Quran and Ahadeeth to enlighten me.

2. I get the overly cultural sect that think I am damaging their reputation by talking about “them.” (Self centered eh?)

3. I get the overly demanding neurotic Arab League (inside joke, har har) who want to tell me what to write since they fear others criticizing their opinions, so they do to mine because they love their one way streets.

4. And finally, there are the handful of young Arab ladies that think I can give them advice on how to solve their secretive relationship problems.

Here is my advice. Do not listen to some wacko Arab girl from up north in Eskimo land. (Oh Canada!) And don’t bother to tell her anything, because she is as stubborn as a mule.

Answers:

A1. Religion is important if you can apply it to your self first and not unto others. So going on some random Arab chicks website and insulting her is not a way to support your claim. Can you imagine if Muslims back in the golden days when they spread the beautiful religion did it by insulting others and forcing everyone to LISTEN and OBEY or ELSE. Do you think anyone would have joined in?

By the way, I was always a member, and never was out. So why you guys think I need to join in and learn!!

A2. My words are more powerful than Western Media to ruin an entire culture’s rep. I am an insider with tools to destroy!! (Sighing from disbelief from some people.)

A3. I can write whatever I want. I can write whatever I want. I can write whatever I want. If you want to start your own topic, then get your own blog and feel the wrath of the masses when they enforce their opinions on you!!

A4. My home girls from A-land. You see.. secret relations are no longer the trend. You either like a guy and tell the folks in your crib about it, or you just don’t. If you are not 100% sure about the guy, then that’s why you are hiding it. Otherwise you would spread the news faster than Reuters to the entire galaxy and extended family members with a set wedding date.

So there you have it. I am a pure thorn in most of your necks. And guess what! You still like it and you come here wanting to be pierced some more.

Don’t start blaming now people. I did nothing but train this guy and help him out.

Unfortunately, the boss fired him today. IT WAS NOT MY FAULT! God did it! The Pakistani guy had serious issues with performing simple tasks. For example, taking screen shots and putting them in a pre-written manual. Is that such a hard task? Seriously? Come on. AND IT TOOK HIM 3 WEEKS TO DO! You are a technical person, but you cannot perform the simple task of doing that and doing it properly?

I am not being overly critical here, but I am being extremely critical! Sometimes I wonder how people get jobs. People like him lie their way to get a job, and memorize a few verses from the interview bible. However, you can only lie for so long.

I remember when I had my interview for this job almost a year ago. I am far too shy and nervous. When I am nervous, I cannot for the life of me make up stories. I can only say what I know and if I don’t know it, I say I DO NOT.

I don’t understand how good honest people are having hard time finding a job by saying, well, I do not know this, but I AM GOOD AT something else. Employers don’t like that, but they really hate liars.

So be warned, not only is lying a sin, but also thinking you can never get caught is just an illusion.

I really felt bad for this guy today. I kept wishing that the bosses should have gotten rid of him after work last Friday without any of us being there. Just me seeing someone forced to leave and pack up is beyond painful.

Oh well, wish him and everyone the best.

If you follow me on Twitter, then you most likely have read my rants that past couple of days regarding someone at my employment.

This new Pakistani guy at my work looks like he is in his mid to late 30′s. His last name cannot be more obvious that he is Muslim. However, Ramadan started 2 days ago, and this is the 3rd, and he doesn’t fast.

I am the last person to approach others and tell them why. People have their excuses, but for goodness sake, you know better! When he first started he kept asking me a million and a half questions about me. I am Arab. I am Muslim, and any other question. So out of respect, he sees that I am not indulging in my morning cup of java, nor am I eating lunch, then he should at least be considerate.

I am used to this life living in the Western world, and surrounded by non-Muslims, and it never affected me that they are eating. I never was pressured or felt like “why me!” However, seeing it from a “Muslim” brother as we love to label one another as, then I find it hard to take. Also, I start to quickly lose any respect I had for them.

I know many of you have asked me on Twitter if he is sick or whatever. I said that I do not think he is, because he goes to the gym every morning, and never mentioned to me (oh he talks a lot about him self and asks questions) that he is under any form of medication. Therefore, what is the excuse? Do I want to know?

So, I told my sister about it yesterday, and her answer is, “He is probably white washed. Are you sure he is Muslim?” I said, “He can’t be any more obvious from his name.”

All this have taught me one thing, the world is slowly diminishing to a vast whole of people with empty souls. They are losing their religion and faith, and I think the next generation will only get worse because their parents set a very bad example.

Angry, Idiots, Random Thoughts, Religion

Sorry I didn’t mention this earlier, but Ramadan Kareem! I was very sick and tired yesterday. Could be the first day of Ramadan and the days are very long in the summer in Canada.

I hope this year all Muslims in the world live peacefully in their home lands and outside. Amen!
