I keep saying this again and again… I hate leaving a place that I got attached to… the fact that I have to say goodbye to people is hard for me to get used to.

I feel lucky because I had the chance to meet all of you in this lifetime. It was extraordinary, and still is. If I did anything wrong, I’m sorry. Thank you for coming into my life, and letting me enjoy my life a little bit more with your company and friendship. I feel so grateful for what I achieved this year, awards at a local awards ceremony and a bronze at the Dubai Lynx. Also, designing the guideline for an international brand and working on nice clients/accounts and giving all I can while I’m still an undergraduate. El7amdellah! I never saw it coming! I think I have faith now, I really want to thank everyone for the good times and from the bottom of my heart, I will miss you guys.

I will miss all of you, especially the ones I got closer to recently. I wish you the best in life and I hope to see you again one day and visit me whenever you can, you’re welcome in your second home, Jordan (since I’m not planning to come back to Kuwait, not for the next 2 years at least).

I will also miss hanging out at the avenues, shopping with my friends, eating out at chili’s, having shisha at the most awkward cafes, cruising on the gulf road, fixing my hair at spaloon, sleeping over at friends’ places, going to sultan center and buying things I don’t need for no specific reason, watching censored movies at the cinemas, expensive rates for phone calls… no I’m kidding! I always miss Kuwait for reasons unknown.

I leave you with some documented memories as in images of what is going to be good ol’ times.

What would you ask God if you had to narrow it down to one question? There’s so many things he needs to explain. Suffering. Human misery. Why he doesn’t do more for us. Which question would you put to him?

Would things suck as much as they do if God had to walk a mile in our shoes? What if HE had to ride the bus to his little apartment and sit there all alone like an old man. Would life be the way that it is if God had to be just a slob like the rest of us?

In an interview, Joan Osborne stated that the song was less about religion and how we view God, and more about how we see each other. She, in my opinion, is able to convincingly show us how poorly we treat each other by using disguising God in a human form.

This song is about the death of authority. People feel secure if there is some higher power informing them of their place in the world. If god is one of us he is no wiser than we are. We are alone in the world with no authority to guide us. With no higher power we must make our own choices. Not to be too Freudian, but this song is about reaching the age when our parents aren’t gods to us and we must find our own path. And the sadness the loss of absolute certainty entails.

I’ve always viewed this song as self-evident. Indeed God WAS one of us, he walked more than a mile in our shoes, he’s nearer than we perceive, and in touch, and understands our day-to-day joys and pains.

Enjoy a good song

Madonna has sparked controversy on the political front after featuring a scathing video attacking Republican presidential candidate John McCain during her Sticky and Sweet World Tour, which she kicked off in Cardiff, Wales on August 23rd.

During her performance of the newly made song “Get Stupid” (a mix between her songs from the latest album,) Madonna displayed photographed images of global warming, destruction, Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe, Adolf Hitler, and Senator McCain. Later in show, Madonna compared photos the John Lennon, Mahatma Gandhi, Al Gore, and Democratic nominee for president Barack Obama.

“The comparisons are outrageous, unacceptable and crudely divisive all at the same time. It clearly shows that when it comes to supporting Barack Obama, his fellow worldwide celebrities refuse to consider any smear or attack off limits,” McCain campaign spokesman Tucker Bounds said in a statement to Fox News.

Don’t you just love Maddy?

I’m not exactly sure what it is about this song that I like so much. I’m actually very much into words, linguistics, and etymology, so the thought of not using words ever again, or that they would ever become “useless” is a bit disturbing.

The video is outstanding, and is my second favorite Madonna video, falling behind “Ray of Light”, It is a very lyrically simplistic. That combined with the concept of just letting go completely, ‘getting unconscious’ is what seduces me the most about this song. Björk wrote this about surrendering to the beauty of subconscious and forgetting the useless things that consume our mind in the physical world.

The deal is: After listening to Debut (Björk’s album), Madonna asked her to write collaborate in the next album (which became Bedtime Stories), but Björk was touring and working on post so she wrote Bedtime Story with Nellee Hooper and Madonna for this album. Madonna loved the song so it became the title track. Madonna is a declared Björk fan and Björk also remixed some songs for Madge.

Someone just asked me what’s Björk… what a shame!
