I found this video on Digg this morning and I watched it like 5 times already. It’s hilarious! Since I am a graphics designer and I am font obsessed, I found this video hilarious since I know all these fonts and used them. You have to have to have to watch it. It will make you fall laughing! I know for sure that bloggers like Moey will love it!
If you are wondering what the title says, well, it is pretty much saying something like: What’s wrong with these people and these songs?
So I was bored and needed some form of entertainment or I was gonna to2 (explode). I decided to check out Arab videos on YouTube. I found funny rap songs. I don’t know what’s wrong with Arabs and food, but we love our food!
Hummus Song (Chick Pea Dip)
Lahme Song (Meat Song)
. . . and this is the A-R-A-B rap song.
I made a video of the music that DJ Hecktic has made for me yesterday. I got a bunch of dancers and me to be a part of the video as well. I got my own posse! :p
Youtube link: here.
Anyways, that was enough dancing. Although I think I made a kick ass video with my people, you can tell I am bored at work. So I spent the past hour making this video. I got nothing else to do!
I went to my message therapist today, and obviously we talked. I talk a lot. I used to never ever talk, but from having a blog, working with a lot of crazy people in my job, and being ever so articulate, I became a chatter box. I now initiate conversations because I am bored and I want to actually know how others think. Maybe one day I will discover the meaning of normal human beings by actually talking to them.
So, we talked, and the topic came up of me knowing languages. I told her I am bilingual, but I also know Spanish but I don’t speak it anymore, because there is no one to speak it with. So she asked me what languages I speak. I said, “Arabic.” She said, “that is so nice. Is it similar to another language?” I said, “well, maybe Persian, but not really. We are kind of separate from the rest of the world.”
Then she asked me about head scarfs and Arab women wearing it. I said, “yah.. I guess conservative Arab Muslims do, but not me.” She said, “so what about arranged marriages. I think it is so interesting.” I said, “aah…. no. It’s a blind date that won’t ever go away.” She said, “I would have loved going on a blind date. I never did, and I always wanted to.”
I thought to my self, this chick is nuts. She is a year older than me because she told me that it was so awesome to be an 80′s child and being so young. I then thought, this chick is seriously nutz. So, then she asked me, “well, so how old were you when you came to Canada? You are fluent.” I said, “way too young, and I am bilingual.” She said,”but it’s hard for other Arabs to come and learn a new language. Especially from arranged marriages.” I said, “yah, bringing someone from the Arab world is not so bad. Everyone speaks English now. It’s like mandatory.” She said, “it’s funny how you keep saying Arab world.” I thought to my self, I do say that a lot, so I replied saying, “well, I guess Arabs have their own world!”
Then I told her that my mom and sister are in Lebanon to visit the entire family but will be back soon, but I am not Lebanese but Palestenian. She said, “well, oh. So, you are like so diverse. So why is your entire family in Lebanon?” I said, “well, because I was a Palestenian refugee, and my entire family is still in Lebanon.”
She paused a bit, and didn’t know what to say for a minute. I said, “so you don’t know what happened to Palestinians?” She said, “no clue. I don’t know anything about that area at all.” I sat there contemplating what to say or how to react. I said, “so you know nothing about the Palestenian and Israel conflict?” She said, “no clue.” I said, “well, in 1948 Israelis came and claimed the land. They kicked out 700,000 Palestinians from their homes. Some went to Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan.” She said, “how in the world can they kick out 700,000 people at that time?” I said, “well, there were more that got kicked out later in 1967.” She said, “so how many?” I said, “well, there are about 4 or 5 million Palestinians now in the entire world, and over half of them are still refugees.”
She said, “I can’t believe it! Why in the world? Are they still fighting?” I said, “yep. We are biblical people who just love to fight each other!”
I couldn’t believe it that she had NO clue at all about what’s going on in the middle east. Not even who is fighting who or why. I am still shocked. I think I read a lot of news and too much history because I know too much shit that is going on in the world, especially in war torn countries. Not only that, I read a lot of history of Palestine. I think I am obligated to as a Palestenian to know everything about my people and country and what’s going on in the entire middle east.
However, I honestly envied her. She didn’t have to live her life bothering her self with what’s going on in the world. She didn’t seem to be interested in history or current events. She just did her job, met a lot of interesting people, and well, she met ME and I screwed up her entire view of the world! :bored:
Anyways, I love watching this video and listening to the song because it will always remind me of how people were in Palestine before 1948. The end of the video always makes me cry.
I told my self I wouldn’t talk about job interviews or any job hunting at all because I don’t want to discuss it. However, I have been going insane the past 3 months in trying to discover what I want and what do companies interview me for. What do I want to do with my life? I even got suggestions to go to a career councilour to try and figure out what I want to do.
I don’t need counciling, but I need time to find something that won’t drive me insane from boredom and suicidal attempts in 5 years.
Today, I went to an interview for a job that pays less than what I am getting now. However, I went in and thought, ok, there are benefits to this job in the long term, and the position is NOT programming. Will I go through with it? I was almost late to the interview. I am spatially challenged and I get confused from roads and signs and buildings really fast that I keep thinking, “shit.. I think I missed the road.” In reality, I would be thinking ahead of my self and I didn’t even reach the spot yet. So what do I end up doing? I walk, then I think, no no, then I WALK BACK! Then after crossing a block or two, I think, shit, that’s not right, and I walk back the other way. Oh God, NEVER ASK ME for directions. I am no navigator!
Anyways, we will see. I am not going to hope much for anything right now. I mean I thought about it. I get paid for sitting at a job and do nothing. Most people would die for such a job. However, I am NOT like normal people, and it sucked the LIFE out of me. For those that follow me have seen the drastic change in my writing from moderately sarcastic to completely negative! I died inside from the boredom and I felt useless. It changed my whole personality and I became this uncaring person to the point that I don’t even complete any tasks or do anything that has meaning anymore.
However, and I mean it, however, I still have a bit of determination. I determine to be something important. I think I always had this inner need to be popular and be known for something really important. I want to do something with my life and people will say, “Mona did it! She was a part of it!”
I think that bit of determination is what kept me sane till now. With all the ups and downs in my life, moving from one country to another, having numerous friends that came in and out of my life, and meeting some of those that will forever be in my heart; I learned that life needs an objective and real friends to share it with.
I haven’t set an objective yet. I haven’t even began to make a plan, but I know that I will try my best to reach that point and never give up. I will never give up as long as I have faith in my talents, have faith in people I love to always stand by my side, and a tiny bit of hope to be something important in this life and make a difference.
Anyways, to a more lighter subject, I Twittered yesterday about my crazy idea of me marrying Ramy Ayach. I got so many messages from people asking who he is or why him! :love: I am shallow and I need a target to keep my mind busy with an obsession for a while. He was a good target. Very very very good looking Lebanese man and looks like the guy I used to stalk back when I was 19/20. 
This is my favorite song for him “I miss you”:
