Things I don't understand...
Here's a list of some of the things i've seen in my life that made me go "huh? what? fucking why?"
* Women who wear an abaya, neqab, and all the crap because they "fear god" and don't want to stand out in a crowd, yet they don't realize that although they might be the ugliest girls on the planet, the huge blue and yellow sparkly bird on the back of their abaya and the 17 gallons of the jack daniels scented calogne they have on would attract a brain dead paraplegic.
* During prayer time, one of the most important things to do is be organized and move in a timely manner during prayer. everyone is in a straight line. if you are out of that line, you will have 29 hands pulling you back in line to be orderly and organized... step outside of the mosque... well, you'll have about 150 cars all parked wrong and are blocking the whole road... it's so chaotic that it takes everyone 30 minutes to think "how the hell am i gonna move my car?"
* This really bugs me... no one believes me when i say this... but i hate gifts on my birthday, and i hate surprises and parties and shit like that... I tell them, but they don't listen... anyway... if it's my birthday... or i just graduated... or i found a job... or anything good happened to me shouldn't i be the one inviting people and buying them gifts to celebrate myself being alive? like "thank god!! (or as we say here... thanks god...) I made it through another year!!!" shouldn't i say "I'm gonna appreciate life more and show people how much i love them... i'm inviting everyone to dinner" instead of "where's everyone? where are all my gifts for living another year?? why doesn't anyone love me?" ... it don't make no sense to me...
* thinking that following the news and knowing who certain people are (that have no influence over you AT ALL) is very important... a friend of mine once asked me (to supposedly embarrass me in front of the guys) "do you know who such and such is?" I answered "isn't he that guy with the white beard?" he laughed and said "no! hahaha.. how could you not know who he is? don't you watch the news?" ... here's a news flash for you... he doesn't know who the fuck you are, and he wouldn't think twice about bombing your ass. If someone isn't leading my country and i have to know who the hell he is and what the hell he's doing to know my own countries laws, i don't give a shit. if he knows who i am, i'll probably know who he is. if not, i really couldn't care less. why do i "have" to know who he is if it won't make a damn difference in my life except for "keeping up in boring conversations about shit that's being repeated at work, restaurants, meetings with people you don't like... etc."?
* seeing someone enjoying a cigarette and saying "don't do that, it's bad for you"... has anyone ever said that, and then the smoker said "OMG!" threw the cigarette away and said "i'm never smoking again!!!!" you know you're fucking bothering people... stop being an attention whore/wanna be saint who will fix shit
* Saving humanity... you are contradicting your own shit... yeah, it's tragic if you get sick, die, or someone close to you suffers... it is... but in the end, you're doing the world a favor... we're over populated, economy sucks, no jobs, universities and schools can't take in most of the population... etc. we want to make humans live to be 500 years old... yet when most of the population is 18-30, broke as shit, acting as if they're parasites, annoying the shit out of you, looking for trouble... etc. and you want to save them? give me a damn break. There is a reason why some parts of the world are starving, and others eat two bites of their 5 lb lunch and throw it away. there is a reason why some people die of the flu because they don't have the facilities or finances to get health care, and other would survive the deadliest kind of cancer cuz they shilled out 2 mil to cure it. I just don't get it. I probably won't change my mind if i get really sick or shit... I say shit you wouldn't expect me to say when i get sick... so i don't think i'm changing the way i look at it any time soon.
* serve and protect with the village idiots... never understood that...
*wiping your ass without splashing the shit out of it with a fire hose is not accepted and is considered VERY bad hygiene... you are a dirty fucker if you don't do that... but it's ok to drench the whole bathroom floor with your ass water and leave your shit there on the floor without cleaning it and let all the germs set in...
anyway...
Going back to photoshopping and air brushing and shit
a lot of guys are gonna get pissed off... and i think many women are gonna be happy and tell men "see, it's all fucking smoke and mirrors"... do you know who this is?


ha ha ...thats a beautiful post. I especially liked the second point..about praying in an orderly fashion, but being totally disorderly and indisciiplined outside the mosque...and the point about cigarettes.
ReplyDeletepwahahahahahahaaaaaai...
ReplyDeleteyou crack me up bro...I would pay to see your face while typing those posts of yours...
If you know Hamad in person you wouldnt expect him to be the same dude writing that kind of crap...I guess this is your stress release place :p
I just have one thing to say...for the gift thingy...people celibrate you!!! besides you'll get broke if you buy those you invite gifts LOL...it's better this way to make eachone pay a bit for you to get a shit load of new stuff...hell it's free bitch :D
birthdays are just a poor excuse for wanting attention...
ReplyDeletei'd rather wear a g-string, oil my self up, and take pictures.
:P
seriously... it shouldn't be gifts and shit... you wanna celebrate "me"? just send a message and say "happy birthday". that's some sentimental shit right there, buddy. getting gifts and shit just doesn't feel right.
I don't know... maybe it's because i don't like the shit they bring these days... phones... dvd recorders... WTF am i gonna do with a dvd recorder?
see.. cake.. i can eat the shit outta cake... get me cake on my birthday, i'm a happy donkey... get me a fucking raspberryiphoneG3nokiaE98172 piece of shit that costs 3000 riyals... and you just make my life miserable.
I have a XXL sized polo shirt that cost a fortune! I have it in my closet because my mom actually thinks i'm 6'8 @ 400 lbs. WTF am i supposed to do wtih that?
Every year, i tell them the same thing when they ask "so what do you want for your birthday"... i say "whey protein... i can actually use the shit"... they just laugh and say "ha ha ah... you don't want that! i'm sure you want something else, and i'll guess what it is... so when you see, you'd know what to get me on my birthday"...
IDEA!!!! from now on... i will get some arginine AKG for everyone on their birthday... if they ask what the hell is this, i'll act surprised and say "don't you like it???"
I agree with you Hamad,
ReplyDeletebut in the Arab world and Saudi specifically, it does not work this way. everyone is competing to buy the best gift or to make the best something so they would look good or "what would people say"
so its not about what would make you happy, its about what looks good in other people eyes.
birthdays are nothing, go see the craziness people do when a baby get born, or when the baby grow his first tooth, and the worst is "8er8e3an" this boy or that girl.
i have a friend here in the states, when it was christmas she wanted to buy gifts for her family, she says we have a rule, no gifts more than $30!!
LOOOL Fozan you are absolutely right!! Crazy ppl.
ReplyDeleteHamad abot the woman in the pictures...is that Gabby or whatever her name from desperate house wifes!!!
Fozan,
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you. It's not about making the "birthday boy/girl" happy... it's about appearing as if you care for that person so no one can think you're weird. although, there are people who care... but really, most of them find it a chore to do that shit and just do it to actually get attention from other people.
you know... one of the gifts that really stand out to me is... this was exactly 6 years ago... a friend of mine met me at a coffee shop on my birthday (never gave a shit about birthdays... but it was just that day and i wasn't expecting anything)... and he came with a book... gave it to me, and said "happy birthday" without making any kind of big deal... as if he just said "hey, what's going on?"... the book was Bill Bryson's a short history of nearly everything. I think bandar and fozan know me enough to understand that i'm an illiterate spoodhead and i actually don't give a damn about books... so how the hell can i remember the author's name and the books name? i'll tell you why, i actually read half of that book because i was so happy my friend didn't make a big deal, and ACTUALLY GOT ME SOMETHING SENTIMENTAL AND SUPERFICIAL!
not making a big deal + 25 riyal book = a birthday gift you won't forget...
anyway...
yes, bandar... it's her :)
LOL @ "yeah, it's tragic if you get sick, die, or someone close to you suffers... it is... but in the end, you're doing the world a favor"
ReplyDeleteLOL @ the "ass water" thing.. and I agree! hahahahahahaa!!!
