We Lost More Than 20,000 Dollars Yesterday

2006-01-31T16:55:00.000+02:00

Of course we don't have this amount of money, but we happened to lose them anyway.Yesterday, in the end of the day, where there is nothing else to do, Aboud and I, opened the TV, and we passed on NTV, where there was a contest show being broadcasted, the prize for the question was 20,000,000 LBPs (13,309.7$).الكويتالكويتالكويتThe question was how many times where the word (الكويت) mentioned, we

Why the west won't believe us when we say we hate Bin-Laden

2006-01-30T18:28:00.000+02:00

Well look here, it's really disgusting.If this thing is spread all over the Internet, who the hell would believe that we hate Bin-Laden, or that we don't support Al-Zarqawy.Man this Danish thing is getting on my nerves.How can anybody be happy about killing people, except Bin-Laden and his guys.Long Live Lurpak ...

Once I Had a Friend

2006-01-26T11:34:00.000+02:00

Dear Ra'afat,I know you won't receive this letter, but I'm writing it to you anyway.I know it's been almost 3 months since you've gone, but your memory just cannot fade away, I almost cry every night for your loss, It's really hard for me to imagine the world without you living in it.Do you remember the night when we bought these, I'm keeping it close to my heart, well of course you remember, at

When will we grow-up?

2006-01-21T19:25:00.000+02:00

Inspired by a post on Khalaf's blog about the human rights report, and the Jordanian responses against it.Well I guess it's in our culture to think that we are perfect, and we never do anything wrong. We never accept the thought that we might be wrong at some point, if you come to your colleague and tell him that he did something wrong, the first thing that he tries to do is to deny, and if he

What is the problem with google these days

People who affected my life

2006-01-18T10:06:00.000+02:00

My life had run through a lot of changes, almost all of these changes were made by my own decision, (some of them were because my life has changed depending on my conditions, but in the end I'm still what I am in the end), my decision was made through my change in the mental field.from the people I never met, the first one I remember was Irwin Schrödinger, for those who doesn't know who he is, he

So You Think You Can Tell Heaven from Hell

2006-01-15T23:23:00.000+02:00

The other day I was practicing Pink Floyd's Song Wish You Where Here on my guitar, and in a sudden I started thinking about the first line, well can I really tell heaven from hell, I don't really know, what is heaven to me, for some time I thought if I could just live alone in this world, doing whatever I like, this would be heaven. After a while of living alone in a house with no one around me,

A Definition of A holiday

2006-01-15T21:44:00.000+02:00

A holiday is the period of time you start collecting more work to do when you get back to work.I really need to have some sleep ahhhhhhhhhhh.

The Message

2006-01-10T23:49:00.002+02:00

I usually hate TV, or perhaps don't like to watch TV, but concerning that we are having a Holiday, there is no one in town, no computer available all the time (and the connection is more than slow, I can barely post), and ofcourse nothing to do, the only thing I can do is to watch TV.Almost every channel on TV broadcasted this movie in those days, I just can't remember the times I've seen it, I

Love, Music & me

2005-12-28T09:10:00.000+02:00

This is not a stupid article or something, will I guess this is not an article at all, It's just something I'm thinking about.Well how do I start? Ya, In my entire life I fell in love for 2 times, which were (if I could say) an impossible relation, for me every perfect girl (something like soul mate, but I don't believe in soul mates) has to be an older girl, who has something makes it impossible

Getting Sick

2005-12-28T07:43:00.000+02:00

I really hate to get sick, but what I hate more than that is to take medicine or see a doctor, I really prefer to remain sick than that, so I never took a sick leave cause I never had a proof that I've been sick, which were my annual leaves come in handy, I really wish I could get rid of that habit. :-)

A definition for War

2005-12-28T07:42:00.000+02:00

The word war had always had a definition for me, I just want to say it here.War is when two people (usually soldiers) try to kill each other, not because they disgrace each other, or even hate each other, but because of other two people (usually leaders) setting on fancy chairs, having fancy dinners, living a fancy life have a misunderstanding between them.I Just hope that all the people who

The Open Window

2005-12-28T07:41:00.000+02:00

Yesterday, I was so sick that I even couldn't get out of my bed, I remember that the weather was so cold, I also remember that every time I woke up; I see this window that is slightly opened; and every time, I just want to go and close it, I really want that because the weather was so cold, and I felt that it (in some way) is responsible about me feeling that. In the end I just think (imagine)

Circle of Trust

2005-12-21T11:12:00.000+02:00

From a lot of time I believed that every human being has some kind of a circle (or maybe a sphere) around him that separates him from other humans. This circle (or sphere) starts to shrink with another human as long as his relation with that person becomes friendlier.So if you can notice yourself when you are introduced to other people, at first you try to keen the maximum space between you and

Where did you want to go yesterday?

2005-12-13T10:23:00.000+02:00

It's not that I like to pick on Microsoft. It's just that they keep doing things that make me shake my head in amazement.Take; please take, for example, the revelation that Microsoft is working on a significant new feature for Windows Vista, known as Restart Manager. Guess what it does? Yes, it's designed to update the operating system or applications without having to reboot the entire machine!

Maxell to offer 300GB holographic discs 'late 2006'

2005-12-04T09:20:00.000+02:00

Maxell will ship its first holographic storage system late next year, the company has pledged. The storage specialist will initially offer a removable system based on 300GB media and capable of transferring data at a rate of 20MBps, Maxell said. However, the company said the technology, designed by InPhase Technologies, is capable of achieving 1.6TB per disk - and that's uncompressed capacity -

Magnolia

2005-12-03T10:13:00.000+02:00

What a movie … I was looking for that movie for a long time, but I just couldn't find it, Until yesterday I had the chance to see it as it was broadcasted on the TV and it really dazzled me, If you haven't see this movie I hope you go and look for it first then come to continue here, as I don't want to ruin the story of the movie for you. At first what is magnolia? Magnolia is a magnificent

This is a saying by the great writer Jack London, I just really love it. Jack London is one of those people who really influenced me in the beginning of my life, perhaps the only Novel I read for him was The Iron Heel translated in Arabic in the name of (العَقِب الحديدية). It was written in 1907, it discusses some events that Jack London predicts that would happen, it's as some kind of

In The Memory of Ra'afat Al-Boreeny

2005-11-10T21:16:00.000+02:00

The moment I heard the news of the bombing, I couldn't imagine that in any chance I know any of the victims, The moment I heard that Ra'afat was there, I just couldn't ... I don't know.I remember the first time I saw Ra'afat, I thought he was bluffing that he cares a lot about people, after a while of knowing him, it turned that he really cares a lot ... he was a very simple guy, who just want to

Terror Attack in Jordan

2005-11-10T10:18:00.000+02:00

Yesterday I was shocked as everybody with the three terrorist attacks in the middle of Amman; I was about 850m away from Grand Hayyat Amman, I just cannot stand what happened, I guess I'm still shocked. I don't know what kind of people would do such a thing, what were they thinking in, killing innocent people, for almost nothing. Is this Islam, is this religion, I guess this is madness, what
