Hallucinations…

 Ever missed someone all of a sudden so bad,  you wish there were there for one minute, just want minute? Just to look at them one last time, to look into their eyes one last time, to touch their face one last time, to be there for them for the last time.

What would you say? What will be your last words for a loved one you know you will never see again? Would you let them know you love them? Would you ask for forgiveness?

If you can relive one moment of your live, what would it be? And why? Who do you wanna see? What do you wanna say to them?

If you can turn back time? What would you change? What do you regret?

I’m really hallucinating at this point, I have like a million questions rushing in to my head at the same time, my words can’t keep up with my brain right now.

What if?

We always wonder about that, in almost every thing in out life, what if ….? And for some reason we mostly say that when things are not going so great with us, we think that things could’ve been better if….

I have no idea what the hell I’m talking about, I suddenly miss all my loved ones at once, and I wish I can see them for one minute, one last time…

WHY AM I DOING THIS?

 Ever ask yourself this question?  Pay attention to your response because your honest answer is critical.  This little question can be so pivotal in removing stress from your life and helping you to focus on your goals.  To ask “why am I doing this?” is such a simple exercise that you can do it anywhere at any time and get instant results.  Give it a try…
I’ve used this question on everything from analyzing how I spend my free time to what I focus on as I work.  I’ve even used it to declutter my house by asking myself why I am doing certain tasks.  Ever find yourself cleaning a piece of furniture you hate?  Why are you doing it?  If you hate to clean it, get rid of it!  I have no problems taking care of the things I truly love, do you?

What kinds of things are sucking up your time…TV shows, the Internet, annoying friends or relatives?  Ask yourself the “why” question and then look for a way out.   Replace bad habits with good ones, start saying no more often or work on good exit strategies.

The beginning of a new year is the perfect time to make these five words part of your life.  Take a look around you right now and ask yourself “Why am I doing this?”  If you like your answer, by all means carry on.  If you cannot give a satisfactory answer to the question, then you have an opportunity to make a change for the better.  Get to it.

أنا و تشرين و أنت

أشعر بالحاجة إلى النطق بإسمك هذا اليوم، أشعر بالحاجة إلى أن أتعلق بحروفه كما يتعلق طفل بقطعة حلوى.
منذ زمن طويل لم أكتب إسمك في أعلى الرسائل، لم أزرعه شمساً في رأس الورقة، لم أتدفأ به. و اليوم و تشرين يهاجمني و يحاصر نوافذي، أشعر بالحاجة إاى النطق به، بحاجةٍ إلى أن اوقد ناراً صغيرة، بحاجةٍ إلى غطاء، و معطف، و إليك…
يا غطائي المنسوج من زهر البرتقال و الزعتر البريّ، لم أعد قادرة على حبس إسمك في حلقي، لم أعد قادرة على حبسك بداخلي مدّة أطول، ماذا تفعل الوردة بعطرها؟ أين تذهب الحقول بسنابلها، الطاووس بذيلة، والقناديل بزينتها؟ أين أذهب بك؟ أين اخفيك؟ و الناس يرونك في إشارات يدي، في نبرة صوتي، و في إيقاع خطواتي…
الناس يرونك قطرة مطر على معطفي، زراً ذهبياً على كُم قميصي، كتاباً مقدساً معلقاً في مفاتيح سيارتي، جرحاً منسياً على ضفاف فمي…
و تظن بعد ذلك كله أنك مجهول و غير مرئيّ؟
من رائحة ثيابي يعرف الناس أنك حبيبي، من رائحة جلدي يعرف الناس أنك معي، من خدر ذراعي يعرف الناس أنك لمستها، لن أستطيع إخفائك بعد اليوم…
فمن أناقة خطي يعرف الناس أني أكتب إليك، من فرحة خطاي يعرفون أني ذاهبة إلى موعدك، لا يمكنني.. لا يمكنني أن أستمر في إرتداء الملابس التنكرية بعد الآن.
فالدروب التي مشيناها لا يمكن أن تسكت…
و العصافير المبللة التي وقفت على أكتافنا سوف تخبر العصافير الأُخرى… كيف تريدني أن امحو أخبارنا من ذاكرة العصافير؟
كيف يمكنني ان اقنع العصافير أن لا تنشر مذكراتها؟

Facts About Men (Humor)

1. Men like to barbecue. Men will cook if danger is involved.

2. Marrying a divorced man is ecologically responsible. In a world where there are more women than men, it pays to recycle.

3. Men are very confident people. My brother is so confident that when he watches sports on television, he thinks that if he concentrates he can help his team. If the team is in trouble, he coaches the players from the living room, and if they’re really in trouble, I have to get off the phone in case they call him.

4. Men like phones with lots of buttons. It makes them feel important.

5. All men are afraid of eyelash curlers. Women should sleep with one under the pillow, instead of a gun.

6. A good place to meet a man is at the dry cleaner. These men usually have jobs and bathe.

7. All men hate to hear “We need to talk about our relationship.” These seven words strike fear in the heart of even General Schwarzkopf.

8. Men are sensitive in strange ways. If a man has built a fire and the last log does not burn, he will take it personally.

9. Men have an easier time buying bathing suits. Women have two types: depressing and more depressing. Men have two types: nerdy and not nerdy.

10. Men have higher body temperatures than women. If your heating goes out in winter, I recommend sleeping next to a man. Men are like portable heaters that snore.

11. Women take clothing much more seriously than men. I’ve never seen a man walk into a party and say “Oh my, I’m so embarrassed; get me out of here. There’s another man wearing a black tuxedo.”

12. Most men hate to shop. That’s why the men’s department is usually on the first floor of a department store, two inches from the door.

13. If a man prepares dinner for you and the salad contains three or more types of lettuce, he is serious.

14. If you’re dating a man who you think might be “Mr. Right,” if he  a) got older , b) got a new job , c) visited a psychiatrist, you are in for a nasty surprise. The cocoon-to-butterfly theory only works on cocoons and butterflies.

15. No man is charming all of the time. Even George Clooney is on record saying he wished he could be George Clooney.

16. When four or more men get together, they talk about sports.

17. When four or more women get together, they talk about men.

18. Men are less sentimental than women. No man has ever seen the movie THE WAY WE WERE twice, voluntarily.

19. Most women are introspective: “Am I in love? Am I emotionally and creatively fulfilled?” Most men are outrospective: “Did my team win? How’s my car?”

20. If a man says, “I’ll call you,” and he doesn’t, he didn’t forget… he didn’t lose your number… he didn’t die. He just didn’t want to call you.

21. Getting rid of a man without hurting his masculinity is a problem. “Get out” and “I never want to see you again” might sound like a challenge. If you want to get rid of a man, I suggest saying, “I love you… I want to marry you… I want to have your children.” Sometimes they leave skid marks.

22. Men are self-confident because they grow up identifying with super-heroes. Women have bad self-images because they grow up identifying with Barbie.

23. Male menopause is a lot more fun than female menopause. With female menopause you gain weight and get hot flashes. Male menopause – you get to date young girls and drive motorcycles.

24. Men forget everything; women remember everything.

25. That’s why men need instant replays in sports. They’ve already forgotten what happened.

Twice As Good or Four Times As Hard?

 One of my all time favorite quotes is this:

“Whatever women must do they must do twice as well as men to be thought half as good. Luckily, this is not difficult.”
~ Charlotte Whitton

How true this statement has been in my lifetime. There is some interesting math involved here, though, depending on how you interpret the quote. If we have to work twice as hard to get half the credit, wouldn’t we have to work four times as hard in order to be equal? No wonder we women are so exhausted all the time!

Now on to the part that says “Luckily, this is not difficult.” I am not so sure that is true. Any time a woman takes on the challenge of a “man’s job,” there is usually an instant barrier set in place that she must somehow get over. I have honestly never yet met a woman who walked into a particular job or field of expertise and was just accepted and never once felt an ounce of discrimination. If you have ever experienced total acceptance, please share your story.

So what do we do about this? It seems that every time we make some progress, something happens and we slide backward a few notches. Take the field of technology for instance. Women were making great strides in this area just a couple of years ago. Today, the number of women pursuing careers in the computer sciences is on a serious decline. Why? Are there less females interested in technology now or are they just tired of working four times as hard to get the same results as the males?

What is your profession? Do you feel like you are working four times as hard?

6 days and counting!!

 This the 6th day and I still feel the same, the pain refuses to leave my body for a minute, constant fever and headache, and I’m saying fever to the point of hallucinating!! Every single bone and muscle in my body hurts like hell.

I don’t have flu, I know that, my throat doesn’t hurt, my ears are not infected, I don’t have a runny nose, NOTHIG from the out side hurts, it’s all inside.

I’m feeling cold every time I move, and I mean by that extremely cold, freezing cold, shaking to the point of crying because of the pain, what the hell is wrong with me???

I’ve been taking pain killers ever 8 hours, once the effect is gone I start shaking like there is no tomorrow, the headache becomes so strong to the point I feel like my brain is going to explode, not to mention that even when I touch my hair it hurts!!

I don’t know what going on with me, for all I know I’m in pain, I can’t sleep even if I want to, don’t feel like food, and I’m in constant pain, I’m sick of this, don’t usually get sick, and even when I do, it’s usually common cold or flu, and recover really fast, but THIS, I don’t know what it is, I just don’t wanna be in pain any more, my mood is really bad because of this, I’m crying when anybody talks to me, even if it’s nothing really, I’m not used to be in bed like this.

I don’t know what to do any more, I’m just so sick

Why are men put in charge of ships in an ocean, satellites in outer space, and tanks in the desert, but they can’t seem to find the ketchup bottle in the refrigerator?

The truth is always exciting…

Today’s random quote:

“The truth is always exciting. Speak it, then. Life is dull without it.” ~ Pearl S. Buck

I’m honestly not in the mindset to write today, and for the life of me, I’m not coming up with anything to say about this one. Maybe it’s because I think it’s a bit backwards. Don’t people usually make up lies in order to create excitement because the truth seems boring to them? Maybe she means the truth is really more exciting than we actually realize.  I don’t know. What are your thoughts on this one?
