The Perfect Body: Facts, Myths, and a Can of Tuna

Excerpts from the diary of a pissed off bodybuilder

Since all we do here is bitch and complain about everything, I’ve decided to write up a weekly post dedicated to bitching. So, I’m here to bitch about stuff to give you material to bitch about when you’re with your buddies. Have fun and… bitch on… or something.

The saudi stock market… I think the word by itself is starting to become a cuss word. If someone starts talking out of his ass… just say “SHUT UP YOU F***ING SAUDI STOCK MARKET!!!”… I’m really not into stocks, economy, science, physics, chemistry, math, reading, writing, thinking…ummm… anyway… Although I’m a retard in economics, I really know that something is definitely wrong! I’ve been hearing about numbers all over the world going up something like 6% a year… 8%...3% … and people are happy… but here? NOO!! It has to go up by 298475603894675% every second or people get angry and think it’s a bad stock. What the hell is this nonsense? And this “iktetab” shit? OH MY GOD!! Putting all your money and some people (most people) borrow money to “iktitib” AND THE F***ING COMPANY STILL DIDN’T OPEN YET?!?!?! It don’t make sense to me. Especially when 99.99999% (number pulled out of my ass) of people don’t even know what that company does. You know what? Most people ask me “why the hell don’t you put your money in yansab?” yansab is a new company that recently opened up for “iktetab”. Now, even dead people are rising up from the grave to put their money in yansab because everybody “knows” (by information pulled out of someone else’s ass) that the returns are unbelievable. I just ask them one questions: “what does yansab do?”
I swear, and I’m serious here, no bullshit, I swear that no one has been able to answer my question.
In the end, you make a quick buck. Stupidity kicks in, and you spend it even quicker. I think you’ve all seen the videos of “people”, if that’s what you want to call them, running in the bank and reeking havoc all over the place just to buy stocks first. That tells you something about the MAJORITY of our society. One of my friends once said something that is SO TRUE! He was driving past a bank on the day of iktetab, and when he saw all the people lined up there he just sent me an sms about how it looks like: “lined up with all their ghutras, they look like sperm trying to fertilize an egg”

Kudos on the sperm comment, but you know people who "iktitibed" in STC a few years back have more money now than they know what to do with, to say nothing of al raj7i and Sabic. But back then only 800,000 people would try to iktitib in a company, not 8 million like today. That's the irony of this money-making bullshit I guess: if everyone decides to do things the "right" way nobody wins anymore. You gotta admit though man, people like you and me who stayed out of this frenzy the last couple of years really missed out on some big bucks. It's okay, swallow your pride on this one :p.

hosam,
that's not the point!! it's not about the money. hell, do you know how much money you can make by selling crack here in saudi? do you know how easy it is to smuggle something like that? "it's wrong to do that" "it's 7aram" "you'll ruin people's lives doing that" ... those are the responses of idiots when you say that kind of stuff. truth is, it's the same things. what have these companies given back? any new projects? expansions? better management? did they give anything back to society? they made shitloads of cash off of poor people, i'll tell you that. yeah, they gave them money back. but at what price? they're addicted to stocks and iktetab and what not AND THEY DON'T KNOW DICK ABOUT IT!!! just like selling crack. swallow my pride? dude.. if i cared about money, i wouldn't brag about buying a 10 riyal t-shirt. il 7amd lilah i make more money than i can spend. i don't need to act like an idiotic clown in a 3 ring circus to score some quick cash.

nourah,

you and hosam really proved to be as dumb as the people who r into stocks. did you read the first two lines of the post? did i ask for an explanation? no! i gave you something to bitch about and now you're explaining the rationale behind the saudi stock market. hosam, you'd make a bad husband! i'm like a woman... on her peroid... watching a chick-flick and eating ice cream. when i complain, i want someone to complain with me... not to try and solve the problem and act all smart! nourah.. you make a bad woman... you should be ashamed of yourself... accountant... pfff...

i'm just kidding you guys ;)... it feels good to bitch about anything... now i know why women do it all the time
