A weird summer

Laughter is inner jogging.
-Norman Cousins

First of all Eid mubarak yall…Ive been busy with work but some aspects of my life as well…contrary to a lot of people in this planet…I am one that crumbles under its shell when not feeling balanced and completely ying yanged…
But I managed to take some time/mental space off to write to you…believe it or not missed you oh so much and our little repartees ;)
(ok will stop with the emotional trauma and get on with it )

This summer unlike many past summers was a horrifying one….not only because it wasn’t all about me...but also because as a Saudi I had to participate in the different changes, aspects and lifestyles of my fellow citizens…it all started when I had to have all my fingertips scanned and my eyeballs inspected before getting a visa…
I mean if tomorrow the world decide to extinguish Saudi genes ..no need for a dido Iraq war… a simple click of the mouse gets the job done…

After that had to have the tiniest bag ever for a month holiday…I mean logically thinking how can you get dresses, jeans, new shopping, bags, shoes, very high high heeled shoes, accessories, formal dresses, hats and underwears with matching bras in a 30 kilos bag??!!!…I am not going hiking for God’s sake and I am not a student…unless putting them all on you and looking like Big mama there is no other option but cargo- ing everything as you go along…

That done I tried to look at the bright side …true I have some “obligations” and “marriages” to attend to this summer but hey I am meeting friends I haven’t seen for a ages and we will catch up the summer way …

"Summer way" didn’t really turn up the way I excepted…there was excess in everything…excess of partying…excess of drinking…excess of any other kind of high like substances…excess of showing off…excess of making out on the sofa of a club…excess practically doing it on the sofa in the club…excess of ridiculous liscenced plates sports cars...excess of ridiculous colours on sport cars..excess in lack of clothing...excess of purchasing the other sex (the girls purchasing the guys that is)…and excess of things that cannot be mentioned in this blog...

No conscious of proper fun…..no goal…no ambition ..no purpose…I felt like we were back in the roman times…where masses of flesh intertwined in a horizontal position... with grapes in their mouths… Ibiza literally looked prudish in front of us this summer…

What was happening??!!!! Was I in my bubble for too long???!! Or the world has changed in a year’s time??!!! I mean…I was out last summer too and it definitely wasn’t like that!!! Don’t get me wrong I am not one to intrude into anyone’s business and OBEN minded is what I tried to use as a motto all through these weeks…but I think the voice of reason made its way into my mind and I just wanted to go home and back to my bubble…This is where I discovered the power of sleep …I slept my way through the last days…I just slept and slept and slept…everytime I had a little doze of reality or a vibration of my nokia…I turned around fetus position and slept…..

Finally how was my summer 2008? ………………

Crap!

alright lets start,
I just found your blog through other blogs thought other blogs. bored at work and avoiding work.

well, you were at ibeza/ibetha. I mean that place is practically designed for half naked people, and sometimes fully naked. Usually on ecstasy. Biggest POP euro-trash cheesy tehcno DJs in the world (doesn't mean they are the best). I have heard Insane stories about that place. I would have expected more much more.

But if you have been there before, and things have changed. It might have been because of the state the world is in. so many bad news is being reported around the clock from all over the world, more than ever. war and consumerism created a machine that basically produces money, more consumerism and more hate. People feel helpless that they cant change the state of the world. so they make themselves feel better by abusing substances exploiting their bodies, and buying more.

Buy more to be happy, and then feel bad because people are dying because the companies that produce the stuff is exploiting other communities. so we buy more. to support the economy, support consumerism, polute the planet.....

people feel bad.... they want to forget...... empty eyes... empty happiness...

i have seen those first hand

sorry for rant

Good day, sun shines!
There have been times of troubles when I felt unhappy missing knowledge about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright stupid person.
I have never imagined that there weren't any need in big starting capital.
Now, I'm happy and lucky , I started take up real money.
It's all about how to select a correct partner who utilizes your money in a right way - that is incorporate it in real business, parts and divides the income with me.

You can get interested, if there are such firms? I have to tell the truth, YES, there are. Please get to know about one of them:
