Modernism
First of al happy Eid to all of you.
Happy today, and been in a positive mood for some time now. Sitting alone thinking about everything and everyone i saw and didn't see this Eid, this thought came to me:
Depression is a relatively new replacement for sadness and grief, because depression is modern and has a pill (or a whole cabinet) to cure it. Widows in the old days (in some cultures) would wear black till the day they died. No one gave them any Prosac or St. Johnswort (herb) to put them out of their grief but nowadays if you are sad for longer than the 3 days they call the doctor for valium and anti-depressants. Key word is depression. We aren't allowed to go through the motions of grief and if we do we're automatically said to be 'depressed'. If we were allowed to go through our sadness and if we allow time to heal our pain, then perhaps we can see happiness again. Be aware of your feelings, and unless you have no reason to be sad, and its chronic, then go pop a pill!
Inspired by: A friend who just broke up with his very long term girlfriend (go have a fling dear), a friend who is still not over his ex-girlfriend (9 years later), and a friend who is still inlove with the ex-girlfriend who dumped him (2 years later).
Message to the girls: Please be careful whos heart you break (i suggest you target the jerks of the world).
Note: the example of a widow in black was used because like PSS once said 'the end of a relationship is like a mini death'.

Bow Tie at Sultan Center
3:30 pm, Sultan Center, West Market.
In my track suit, lemony face, & yesterday's mascara, hair unbrushed.
Running through the disposable isle looking for doilies, i look ahead to see if my cart can pass, but discover that it will be difficult because ahead of me blocking half the isle is a man in a grey suit and a red bow tie. His face was flowing out of his collar and on to the red bow tie. Red bow tie.
5 Minutes later, i find him infront of me again in the detergents isle, asking me where the sweets are (in Arabic). Red bow tie. Trying hard to keep a straight face, i pointed to the back of the supermarket to show him where. 10 minutes later, i'm picking up darabeel, i see him again & he came to show me his purchase of darabeel, asking me 'this is a Kuwaiti sweet right?', almost laughing this time, i said yes it is. Red bow tie. Mistaking my hidden giggles for fatal attraction, he asks 'and what if i can't find the sweets isle next time, can i call you?'. Red bow tie, face overflowing. Bess, eyes almost tearing but still restraining my giggles, i said 'la you can't, but i just wanted to know, why are you wearing a red bow tie?' Red bow tie! He said, 'its a tie, like a regular tie and can be worn like one too, there are many variations of ties. Red Indians wear leather and metal ones too.'

Thoughts
1. What will happen when Ramadan is in August? Would people still go to St. Tropez to party? Or do they go to St. T for Eid only?
2. Why are (some) bloggers freaked out when they find out that their identity is known to others? Do they fear that they will be judged for their inner thoughts and inner voices? If they fear judgement, then why express their inner self in public to begin with? I say a big dose of confidence & and a big 6UZ is in order!
3. Where does sleep go in Ramadan?!
(-Sleepless in Block 2)

Gillette
Who said waxing is better than shaving?
Comparison:
1. Shaving doesn't hurt.
2. Shaving doesn't burn.
3. Shaving is fast.
4. You don't have to wait till the hair is 3 mm to shave again! (we33)
Hint: If you get prickly in a few days, just shave again!

Work is a Blessing
Yes it is!
I'm on the second day of my vacation and i'm beginning to see how and why some people have anxiety over their existence in this life. They feel guilty, aimless, useless, and/or futile-- hence addictions and insanity. Those who do not fret about who and why they are, are probably too simple minded and/or too busy.
