While mom was walking upstairs, I asked her with a big grin on my face, “Mama, pick a number between 1 and 85.”

Mom closed her eyes and picked.

I said while smiling, “What number did you pick?”

She said, “It is in my head. I picked it.”

I said, “Tell me the number!”

She said, “70.”

Now a huge grin on my face, “Thanks mom!”

She said, “Why a number?”

I said, “Nothing.”

She said, “This is stupidity!”

I continued laughing and said, “Yep, bye!”

So the winner of 6000 Entrecard credits is (Drum Roles Please!): Lulu from Bitz ‘n Pieces of My Life.

Thank you everyone that commented. I will try to make this a monthly contest with higher points each time. It is fun, and I got to check out new blogs! Love you all!

Blah Blah, Random Thoughts, Thank you, They said what?, Whatever!

I decided to have an end of month Entrecard free credit points give away. Yaay!

How to play?

All you got to do is comment on this post. You can say things like, “Hey Mona! I want some credits!” Stuff like that, or comment on anything else you like. However, here is the catch! Tomorrow evening, I will ask my mother to pick a number between 1 and the maximum number of comments on this post. The number she picks will be the winner. So, the more times you comment on this post in the next 24 hours, the more likely chance you will win.

Easy eh?

Start commenting and spread the word while you are at it to win 6000 EC points tomorrow evening!

Update!!

I decided that the contest will end tomorrow at 8:00 pm EST! That gives people around the world time to enter. I know there are many FAQs in the comments, and I will just address them here.

1. Mom will pick a number, and she really doesn’t have a favorite. I will not video tape it, and just tell you guys honestly what she said. I have no reason to pick anyone in particular.

2. This contest is just for fun so I can meet other Entrecard users, and stay in touch with the community.

3. There will be another contest soon (July 1 or July 2nd), but it will be more of value (money) and a bit more challenging but fun. (Not restricted to Entrecard.)

Last Update!!

If you DO NOT have a website link posted in the comments AND you DO NOT have an Entrecard on your site, then I will delete your comment. It’s not fair to the rest.

Advertising, Blah Blah, Random Thoughts, Thank you

Where are the famous Arabs on Twitter? No Arab celebrities, and barely any famous Arab figures? Anyone got a list of a few? Share it with everyone, because I would like to know.

I will post a listing of famous Arabs on Twitter on my site soon, and if any of you can contact them, then please tell them that yalla!! They got to get with the time! Some of the younger ones have Facebook groups that you can contact them directly and maybe can convince them.

I like following celebrities on Twitter. Their life and what they write about is so mundane, it makes us look a little bit more interesting.

Twitter rules, if you don’t have an account, then you are missing out. Mine is @rebelliousgirl.

Blah Blah, Random Thoughts, Thank you, They said what?, Tweets, Whatever!

I have always been this paranoid person battling with time, rushing with everything I do, trying to perfect everything while I am at it, but I don’t know why.

I guess when you try really hard to reach a standard of living to satisfy the people around you, then you are left with two things: one brain cell, and something extremely caffeinated in your palms. This is my life, but I want to change it, and I am slowly trying. How would I do it though, or am I already without noticing? Also, I keep asking my self, what am I waiting for really?

So, I quit caring about everything, and only think about my self. Life is too short, and my hair is rapidly turning grey.

It may seem like just words written on a blog, but I seriously quit caring. I stopped caring about the people around me. My brother a couple of days ago asked me, “So how many friends you got left that you have not pissed off?” Hmm.

Oh, if he only knew how many fans I got from this website. My only way to communicate and make good friends is from people outside my realm, and outside this city of mine. However, my brother would be like what? “Over 1800 unique visits a day, over 3500 hits a day, over 260 friends on Facebook people that like this site only, over 960 Twitter followers, over 400 RSS & Email subscription readers, etc. What the hell do you talk about Mona that people are that interested in you, and you are always interacting with them, but you can’t do that in real life?” he would say.

I don’t know. Maybe I just say what is on my mind, and people out there who want to understand it and can relate to me, really appreciate it.

I question EVERYTHING and I don’t care if I say that THINGS are wrong and need to be changed or reconsidered. I am trying really hard to remove that censorship barrier, and not care anymore what I say. This is my job now; my blog. I got my blog office, a lovely desk area, and a L-Zay Boy Couch. I spend my time writing posts, and interacting with everyone all day long. I deal with 100’s of people a day, I try to be creative in everything that I try to represent about my self, and I always try to be on top of everything, technology and social networking wise. People on the net or people in real life, all the same now. It’s work, and it is not easy to slowly develop communication skills on your own to deal with all types of people. I used to always be picky and try to find friends that are similar to me and I can relate to, but now, I don’t care. I learned to appreciate and understand all kinds of people.

I just quit this paranoia and constant battle with my self to seem perfect, or say perfect things to satisfy certain people around me. Would I get the same treatment back? No. Never.

Questioning the Unquestionable

Moreover, over time, I kept asking my self these questions over and over, but I never found a satisfying answer to any of them.

1. Why do people only remember you or want to talk to you only if they need something from you?

2. Why do people forget you when you are no longer around them much, but there are many other methods to stay in touch?

3. Why do people suddenly stop talking to you, even though they are the ones that pissed you off?

4. Why when people find a significant other, they forget everyone else, and you quickly become a number in the bottom of their list?

Blah Blah, Random Thoughts, Ranting as usual!, Thank you, They said what?, Whatever!

May he rest in peace. The King of Pop, we all grew up listening to him, is in the hands of God now.

He is history, and today, a sad day in history. First, Farrah Fawcett died at the age of 62, and Michael Jackson at the age of 50.

Which songs will you always remember from the legend of our times?

These are my favorites:

Billie Jean – Michael Jackson

Beat It – Michael Jackson

Blah Blah, Culture, Depressed, My taste of Music
