الزمن غدار والحكمة تقول .. كل شي معقول

Silly things that help me understand why people nowadays call for or believe in silly things. You know, like world peace, democracy, love, isslaa7, saying "meta niseer nafs idbay", and all other kinds of gibberish.

All it takes is for you to consider ONE SINGLE thing from the 'present' better. Trust me, it's related on some level.

Present 'great movie' .. walla sij?



Past 'great movie' .. basee6a yal rabi3, basee6a



Present 'beautiful woman' .. abooch labo abooch labo mn gal enich fad3ah

Past 'beautiful woman' .. raylich "be7u6 nafsuh fi mawagef baykhaaaaaahhhh"


Present Mercedes interior .. madry ana ba6eer wela raye7 agiz ?


Past Mercedes interior .. o ibrat el banzeen dayman 3al empty? ayabaah


Present Mr Olympia .. 'saak allah bel khair 6eweel el3omor, bkhair 3asak ebkhair?


Past Mr Olympia, imsa7ha b wayhe ya Frank


I am so living in the wrong decade.

    i tend to agree, but id like to think ena still fi awadim etfakir l nafs'ha and not be fed everything they should be thinking .. o 3ad e7na bel kuwait we have classic examples of that

    i think the trick is to maintain who u r despite all that sorrounds us in this day and time.. lena in the end its either we who define who we are (individually), or let a group define who we are for us

    but then again that depends on 'what exactly is meant by who we are' .. leave that up to ur imagination

  • Fairy tales ..? You watch cartoons? The prince that turned into a frog, and in order to turn him back into a prince you have to kiss him?

  • lool...and that mr.olympia looks beyond gross
    I always thought i was living in the wrong decade too, but I could never exactly know which decade id like to be living in. The 70s prolly, but i'd wanna be like 20 something in the 70s

  • Temetwir, you mixed everything together! Snowwhite. She ate an apple that made her sleep. And then when the prince kissed her she woke up.

    The swan turns into a princess at night, madri el 9eb7. I don't know how she became a princess again, has to do with a witch and a spell and something.

    Cinderella lost her high heels, not her ring.

    Snow white didn't live happily ever after, because she doesnt eat apples (since an apple is what made her sleep) and prince whats-his-face-called loves apples so they fought all the time

    The swan princess never slept in bed because the pillow had feathers and reminded her of being a swan, kanat terfa3 reel o tnam (isnt that how swans sleep?)

    oo cinderella was obsessed with high heels, strained an ankle and limped all her life. That's NOT happily every after, at all.

    I should give you my disney collection. Or 7ikayaat 3alamiyya ....

  • i'm supposed to live in the 50's.. where everything was (supposedly) simpler *sighs*

    i'm NEVER watching Brokeback Mountain... NEVER..

    not even to see what the fuss is about.. i already hate both actors and seeing them kiss or being all cuddly is a "barf barf" deserving moment.. thank you very much lol

    and my "Past Beautiful Woman" would be Audrey Hepburn.. now THAT is a woman..

  • Lol funny post temetwir

    Scarlo!! He was being sarcastic =P shfeech? Haha

    By Blogger Sedna, at 26.3.06  

  • faith 70s seem a bit too 'late'.. i was thinking more like the 20s

    no mobiles, no university, no salmeya, mako la majlis omma, wala kharabee6 el distoor .. definitely the 20s heh

    scarlo 3ayal meno sleeping beauty? :|

    and yeah, cindrella lost her heel and the prince called every girl in town to see whose foot fits in the shoe .. i thought it was a ring, but same idea

    amout o a3aarf, cindrella kaanat the only size 36 in the kingdom ya3ni?
    3al agal ana lama gelt khaatamha, i was helping the story out in making sense :p

    swair
    ur doing urself a favor in not watching it..
    the story itself depicts male humans as horny animals IMHO and gives them credit for being so, how that even begins to translate into "love", im not sure..
    but then again, hal ayam unfortunately the way i see it, "love" is taken to be all abt being horny and needy, even when it comes to men & women .. fa no surprise there

    audrey hepburn .. lo bas kanat em6awla sha3arha :p

    sedna thanks :)
    and actually, i wasnt being sarcastic :|
    i thought the whole thing was one story.. and i still need to know where sleeping beauty fits in

    in my defense, u have to agree ena theyre a bit confusing since theyre all abt some prince and some "a7la wa7da bel denya"

  • Temetwir,

    The size of the shoe is obscure ... :-p

    Sleeping beauty is the one that was cursed by the witch/wizard because she/he wasn't invited to the party the king & queen held when the princess (sleeping beauty) was born. Unh, how old are? I'll have to send you the vedios .. it was in 'el banat wil sa7er', if you remember? When she touches 'el maghzal' and then sleeps. Well, actually she's supposed to die but the good fairies do a spell thingie that weakens the spell of the wicked witch/wizard. And so instead of dying, she's to sleep and wait for the prince to save her with a kiss ..

    does it make sense now? Let me know if you want the vedios :-p

    Why am I telling you this again, I wonder ..

    Oh, and yes, they're all almost the same but the circumstances are different. Most of those are written (or collected?) by two brothers, I forgot where they come from, Denmark? I'll have to 'research' that ... Or I might just post about it!

  • wasn't Cinderella a size 35? she had small feet :p

    By Blogger Ms. Sarah, at 26.3.06

    By Blogger ScarlO, at 26.3.06  

  • scarlo

  • I saw Brokeback Mountain. It was all right. The storyline was bland. It was a blockbuster in disguise. A pure marketing move aimed at the gay demographic.

  • Tem:

    I know. I was being tongue in cheek :) But I know what you mean. You don't have to be spoon fed and take what is popular as what is good. We all have brains and sound judgment, and we should be able to use them to decide what is good for us, what to like, and what to hate.

  • -benyonce !! the jumping monkey !!


    -the gays movie sux , its just against logic !!! and doesnt make any sense !

    -never was a big fan of mercedes, except of the " S L" ... Lexus all the way !

    By Blogger Mother Courage, at 27.3.06  

  • laialy
    yes, but that still doesnt make the movie 'great' or even 'worthwhile' for that matter .. hollywood hype is one thing, agreeing w/ it is another

    erzulie
    bland is one way to put it i guess,, 'all right' isnt :p
    btw, even if it were a male/female "love" story .. it still wouldnt have made any difference.. still wouldve been stupid and depicted humans as horny animals..
    elzebda, when compared to great movies in the past, u get an idea on how dull some ppl in the world we live in are..
    mo yegolich "money cant buy taste", well neither can time

    sapphire
    true .. bas wain ely yesma3 kalamech al7een?

    mother c
    i respect lexus' and their reliability, comfort and affordability .. even their ride and feel (LS430 is great, so is the GS300)
    but to put 'lexus' in the same sentence as 'mercedes benz' is like someone saying "whoever can spell his name, can write timeless classic poetry"
