Novel: VERTIGO

GOOD NOVEL
the story copy lot of real events happened in Egypt the past few years

but don't expect much as for mental challenges as in Paulo Coehlo's

وداعا نورا

فى يوم ما
فى وقت ما من النهار
فى احد الشوارع
باحدى المدن
كانت تسير احدى الشاحنات على الثلج
لتصطدم باحدى السيارات
التى تقودها احدى البنات
تموت البنت
حادث مرور عادى ينهى حياة
حياة بنت اعرفها جيدا
حياة صديقتى
خبر غير مهم لكل المليارات سكان الكرة الارضية
شاحنة تصطدم بسيارة
شاحنة تقتل فتاة
شاحنة تقتل صديقتى
شاحنة تقتل نورا

SO AM I AN INTERNET GEEK?

someone at work asked me this: what is the time now?
i did set my watch +20m or more
so i know that looking to my watch isn't accurate
so i said: i'll check it to know the exact time
and i logged in to www.worldtime.zone.com
and told her:
come and look, the exact time is ..

she looked at the monitor and then at me and laughed
she said: anyone will answer this simple question by a simple 1 or 2 words, NO ONE ever will do the effort to search online just to check the time

I didn't want to say inaccurate answer, plus it didn't take me time or effort to check a website

SO AM I AN INTERNET GEEK?

INcomplete CAKE

Imagine this
It's your birthday, your friends prepared the greatest surprise party for you
you and your friends are having the best time
you are happy for having all this and secretly wonder how the cake will be?
one of your friend told you to close your eyes because it's the time to get the cake and they want you to be surprised
you close your eyes, they turned off the light and start to sing "happy birthday"
"i bet it's chocolate with fruit all over, delicious, tasteful, ... etc"
you open your eyes anxiously to see your cake
and here's your cake as you expected (chocolate with lot of fruit on)
BUT
BUT
missing a slice
your birthday cake is incomplete
they are still singing and you don't hear them anymore
you are talking to yourself (who ate my cake?)
who did that? who ate my cake?
the light is on again
instead of thanking your friends, you kept asking: who ate my cake?
one of your friend: no one, it's the only cake available now
in other word, this is your cake, new .. chocolate .. fruity BUT incomplete
so you've become very angry and wonder: why me? every one else had a complete cake? why am i the only one to get the incomplete cake?
and again your friends told you: we've search in every place, there are no complete cakes anymore, what's available is the INCOMPLETE
would you accept that?
would you accept 75% of a cake?
it's become a pattern lately in my life: the 75% satisfaction
nothing is complete, nothing is perfect
well let us take it to the real world: is 75% enough to accept a new job, love, friend, .... whatever
???????????????
of course nothing or no one is perfect, BUT
how much missing parts are you willing to accept, and be content with?
you can accept a new device with less features then what you wanted but can you accept a new job with less benefits?
in such situation, people used to say: life is sucks
BUT this is totally wrong
because life isn't an entity or person who can act, talk, do, ... etc
life is just a word used to describe the ongoing process of night and day
life isn't to blame because life is just a word
same concept is valid for fate or destiny
because they are just words to describe the unknown for us
they are not persons who are acting
the honest truth is our lives are in ALMIGHTY GOD's hands
so when we face some problems or face a hard times is just because sometimes God permit that,
having the 75% of everything is very disappointing
GOD please give me the 100% not the 75%
the thing is: i want the 100% of every thing BUT i'm ready for it?
is the 75% of everything the right option for me according to my skills, personality, ....?
how to judge it?
am i 75% good or 100% good?
how anyone can be 75% satisfied all the time? when to say 75% is enough and when to say it should be 100%?
what do you think?

King Lear

FINALLY
get the chance to see the play "King Lear"
the play was in Alexandria for more then 2 years and yet i didn't get the chance to attend
but when it's in the BA for only 2 nights, tickets were available and people were ready to go

OfCourse, it's in Arabic
but the language used was very artistic really
Yehia ElFakharany star of stars, actor of actors had a great presence
WOW
the three girls and the fool were very good too but the others were fair
the poem said by the fool were written by Ahmed Fouad Negm so of course it was very meaningful
