Farewell

All good things must come to an end; I believe that my blog has come to its.

On the one hand, being here has taught me so many things, learnt so much, and known great people. But then again, the more I know, the more I know that I do not know. On the other hand, my blog has caused me so much pain, I cannot even begin to describe.

I thought I could take it, but I can only take so much. I thought it could be solved, but apparently, I thought wrong.

Lastly, I would like to thank each and every single one of you. Thank you for reading, commenting, caring, and for being here.

You know, blogging was one of the few things I truly loved and found myself in.

God bless to all, and to all farewell.

My First Goodbye

Last night, me and my friends, had to say goodbye to one of our closest friend, more like a brother. He left for good and coming back to Jordan is a fat chance for him.

So there we were, just a couple of guys having dinner, laughing, making jokes here and there, just like any other day… Up until 1:30 A.M. when things took a different turn.

We realized that we will not be able to drive him to the airport the next morning, and we figured that this is it, this is the end. Everyone stood there quiet, faces pale, looking at the ground. At that moment I realized that you will never be ready for that moment no matter how much you thought of it.

Anyway, our friend broke the silence and we hugged him with the usual: “Deer balak 3ala 7alak, towsal bil salameh o ma tensa teb3atelna.” Until he reached the last one of us, and suddenly both of them broke down and started crying, some of the other could not hold it and teared a bit. Honestly it was so sad.

Then we left without saying a word, honestly none of us had the power to say a damned thing. On our way home he sent us all an emotional message, and another one this morning saying: “Sam7ooni iza 3omri gassaret ma3akom aw ‘3letet bi 7agkom“…

I do not know why I am telling you this, I guess I need to let it out a way or another…

It is such a shame to end 8 years just like that…

(Sigh)

The Paradox of Our Time

One of the most inspiring videos I have ever seen. It is only 2:24 minutes, but it is worthy.

AIESEC.

If Only I Were a Spider

Spiders, they just eat, mate, nest, and occasionally they fight for survival.

You see, they eat whatever there is to eat, and they build homes out of their bodies. They do not need money to do so, nor a way to get that money. Spiders do not know the wicked nor the evil, they do not feel happy nor they grieve. If another spider dies, they go on with their lives. Spiders mate randomly for they do not know love, nor they know what a heartbreak is.

Spiders live their lives by the day, they are living, they have eaten, and so they call it a day. And they sleep actually well, because they do not have nightmares, hell they do not even know what a nightmare is.

After all that, they die peacefully, unremembered. But it suits them well, because they lived their lives unremembered and so on they die unremembered. For them life is fair enough.

We, we strive and kill for money, and when we get it, still is not enough. We work hard knowing life is not fair, yet we work harder. When someone dies, we grieve and feel sad, we love and we are loved. Sometimes we are sad, others we are not. We build and we construct, we demolish and we corrupt, we love and we hate, we kill and we create. We make mistakes and we learn, we teach and we guide. We give less than what we take, and still is not enough.

We live and we die. As spiders, we die unremembered.

What Color Are You?

I did three ones, and they all gave me the same answer:

Take the Magic: The Gathering ‘What Color Are You?’ Quiz.

Blue? Seriously, BLUE?! They are bloody wrong, my colour is Black, BLACK I AM BLACK, not blue!

Anyway, how is the new look? It is cool right?!

YES YES, I am bored out of my mind and have nothing to do!

The 6 secrets Tag

So I was tagged by Diana on this secret tag, here.

I guess I am supposed to tell you, strange people, 6 things about me that you do not know, and would not know in case we met. (Fat chance for the meeting part :P)

1) I notice everything. I might look that I am a bit careless about my surrounding, but believe me when I say I do notice every single thing around me.

2) I tend to analyze people. Like if we met for example, I would start analyzing every word you say, every move, everything you do. But wait, that is not the creepy part yet. The creepy part is that I am 99.9% right most of the time.

3) I am not really optimistic, I am the anti-positive attitude guy. If something goes wrong, yes it WILL be the end of the world for me.

4) I play guitar. Electric guitar that is. But now I am running on an acoustic one because I sold the electric a while ago! Hey, I do play guitar but I am not a master in it.

5) I am an Arabic poetry fan. I even have my own collection of paper scrapes from newspapers and from my copybooks back in school.

6) I tend to think A LOT, and the result of that is a nervous me.

So that is all about it folks, I will not tag anyone, and this time do not tag yourself if you feel like it.

Diablo III

I cannot, no no let me rephrase that. I CAN-NOT believe my eyes, is it real? Is what I see real? DIABLO III before my eyes… GOOD GOD! They have announced it for real. PEOPLE, Diablo III is on the way.

The teaser is just amazing, check it out:

The gates of hell are opened once again…

AND THE HEAVENS SHALL TREMBLE.

I could not be more happier.

Still, My Champions

On Patience

I want that star,
I want it now,
I want it all
and I do not care how.

That was from a song by Metallica called King Nothing; and that how I was.

You see, ever since I was a little kid, and when I wanted something, it meant I WANT it. And of course I used to have it. Maybe because I am a Scorpio? I do not believe in such things, but they say when a Scorpio wants something, he/she gets it no matter what.

So we know now that patience was not a virtue of mine—as if I have another thousand! But during the course of the last year, that has changed, and I have learnt how to be patient. Not that it was a decision of my own, but I had to. I had to wait for months and months, and still waiting actually.

I guess waiting becomes easier with time, you know, you become more blatant for the whole matter, and you just learn how to shut your mind!

Anyway, that was just a thought for the time being, nothing to do… boredom is killing me!

By the way, Germany is going home with the cup, believe me on that one.

So… have a nice day people.

Those Crack Me Up

Here are a couple of pictures that I consider the best of the two sites I have previously mentioned here. I swear every time I see them, I laugh my guts out. Enjoy.
