Ridge white hair

the Bold & the Beautiful ...... the Phenomenon

during the 90s, this series was the HIT

every egyptian watched the 9.30pm episode of the american series

even people who don't speak english

the faces of the stars were so attractive

and especially RIDGE

oh .. i remember how girls used to talk about him in school ELshabab monthly magazine give some star posters away with every issue, one month it was the RIDGE poster

i remember exactly what happened that day in school

girls came to school with the magazine ........ "this was Forbidden"

they were ready to deal with the sisters (catholic school) and get the punishment

BUT they couldn't afford to wait after school to buy the magazine "7ate7'lasss"

one girl said: i'll buy 10 issues to get 10 posters to cover all the walls of my room with his picture

later, the cast came in tour to Egypt

it was hilarious!!!!

people waited from them in the airport, in the streets

it was first page news in the national newspaper :ridge is in Egypt

no one cared to know their real names, they were ridge stephanie eric brooke ...

even the music contaminated with this epidemic: a girl in my school class gave me a tape for eric's songs

he sing too, u know .. oh he 's (yehbal) don't know the word in english

EGYPT spent sometime under the spell, before it slowly gone

people start to understand new terms like "soap"

i remember this conversation:

- this is soap

- heh?

- soap

- soap? like cleaning soap?

- no soap, just a term used for this kind of shows

- meaning?

- it's about shows for housewives to watch in the morning, well this shows aren't that value, it's just something to fill the time of the channels there, well u know in usa there are hundreds of channels and ......

new terms like "soap, channelssssssssss, satelites, ....."

at that time, we had only channel 1, 2 eltelevision elmasry elra2ed

so people who lived in egypt all their lives didn't get it easily that in another countries the TV isn't only governmental 2 channels

anyway

it was toooooooooo slowwwwwww

and it had a particular point that the series authors insisted on doing over and over again

which is "any man can fall in love with any woman / it's just a man and a woman in a relationship"

so it doesn't matter if brooke loved the father and the 2 suns and married the three of them

briefly ridge was the star of the 90s for us and he was the handsome actor that any girl was ready to watch him for hours even if he said nonsense or kept silent

then the TV repented for this sin and introduced the japanese "Oshin"

and people switched 180 degree

to find out how silly and shallow is the american soaps

and oshin had lot of common with people in the rural

so people were attracted to the character not only girls but grown up men too

yesterday, during my 10m tv time i watched the bold in the beautiful 2008

it was for 10 seconds only, couldn't bare more

ridge is old with white hair, almost same lines sine a decade

it was a shock

ridge is OLD

now i'm looking to it with a fresh point of vue

how a man sold his entire life for a soap????????

he's only work is this soap?

he's entire achivement in life was doing a handsome soap character?????

i never saw him in any other soap or movie or even on the movie news in MSN/ Yahoo

well, this post isn't clear enough

i remember how stupide we were, i wonder how stupide he's

i'm telling my self to learn and do something with my life

الشركة المصرية للإتصالات ... حافظ مش فاهم

I have no net at home for the most stupid reason EVER
the phone line was suddnly dead
the phone company guy came and fix the error which was in the street box lines
so the phone company is the responsable for the error
after it, i failed to login online from my home pc
i called tedata (and i have to admit that the auto responder service is MUCH MUCH better now then THEN)
anyway, the customer support guy told me after checking the system:
was your phone down lately and repaired?
me: yes
C S: ahh, that's why
me: sorry, what's the problem exactly?
C S: well, you see when the phone guy fix a phone error, he unplug the whole line first and then reinstall it, but they don't reactivate the dsl service
me: eh? so?
C S: i'll report the problem to our guy (someone in the a3tal) and he'll check it tomorrow with the central of your residence

IS THIS STUPIDE OR WHAT?
1- the phone company is fixing errors to create others
2- the TEDATA company is goverment owned company, and even if it's not
i think the connection between the 2 companies should be better

wikimania & hashish

people in egypt now are divided into groups or segments
about 1000000 different groups
no matter what is th e standard we use to segment people, we 'll find ouselves with huge number of groups with HUGE differences between people
socially, economically, ...... etc
but the face is all the groups can deal with each other effectively till some point

today in one car for 10 minutes, 2 different groups of people were together
and it was COOOOOL

the story is 2 of my friends and i took a taxi, where a passenger was already there
the conversation between my bibliotheca alexandrina employee friend and i was about:
" how to register or to get tickets for the wikimania event that will take place in the library in july"

when the passenger and the driver were talking about :
.
.
.
.
.
HASHISH
they were exchanging experiences about how they feel when they are high, where to get it, and stuff

i didn't heared them or paid any attention to them because i was talking in a matter that is very important to me but our third friend did hear them and she in a point said "let us get off this taxi"
after we were off, i said what's wrong and she explained
it's become normal to talk about drug now and the sales points are in the open
people are telling each other about it as they were talking about carrefour

el2al3a gat ganb elba7r

yesterday i went to Sidi Krir to pass sham elnessim there

i used the borg elarab airport road when going to

it's cool

wide and for someone like me, don't know much of the out of alexandria roads it was ok

not mush signs or U turns or anything

just 2 lanes long road

but going back to alex it was dark

and i took a wrong turn i was in a completly different road

i found my self in king mariot road

so this is beyond my limited mind

how the road of the west NORTH COAST connected to the road of KING MARIOT

which is suppose to be in the west south of the city

ezay el2al3a gat ganb elba7r?

I HATE OCCASSIONS

yeah

i hate the 2 weeks before christmas and easter

i know this sounds nonsense and more it sounds atheistic

but heh please

think about it for a second

before every occassion we HAVE to take some GREAT decisions:

what to wear

what to eat

where to go

whom to call

what to prepare

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

and the list go on and on

and finally when the it happens

when finally we are ON the day

all the efforts made before seems unusefull

on the day just before the occassion every time i have a nearly nervous break down

- it's 7.30 am i have to do 1, 2, .... 25

i still got time

- it's 12 pm i finished 1,2,3 and still have 22 things to do

i have to hurry up

- it's 3pm i finished 1 to 10 still have 15 things to do and discovered another 7 things i forget about it

OH MY GOD

- it's 5pm i managed to finish 20 things only

well that's it

i'm not doing anything more (@#$!%$^$%&^&)

i didn't get all the things done yet and i'm not going to cry

same scenario every feast

so much pressure and in the middle of it we miss the occassion itself

celebrating the birth or the Resurrection of Jesus Christ

of course the effort made for these days is because how special these days are

BUT

- wondering in the streets for days trying to find something REASONABLE to wear and not (quote from my friend christine: lebss elmomaselat dah)

can cause more then a nervous break down :)

قصيدة وحشة

أو نص نص

أو قول هي وحشة عشان نص نص

نص دنيا

نص شمس

نص غنوة بين بوح وهمس

عشان فيه علامة

علي كل كلمة




يكون ليها معني بدون أي لبس

عشان فيه قمر

مش قمر

برضه نص

عشان فيه حنان

مش حنان

نص حضن




نص أشواق واخدة ركن

زي نص رغيف

هو نص رغيف

وبس

قصيدة مش وحشة

ولا حلوة




لا تلقي لا استهجان ولا استحسان

قصيدة ما تأثرش في الإنسان

لا تجيب رغيف

ولا لعبة ولا كيس برتقان

قصيدة زي الشعر في العالم

قديم

مبحوح

جبان

***
‏‏


قصيدة زي البحر بين قضبان

قديمة زي الصمت

زي الفرجة في الخناقات

زي التزام الانضباط والربط

زي اللقا بالصدفة

زي الضحك في الجنازات

وزي نسيان اللي مات

وزي فستان البنات

مقطوع عند الكتف

ومرفي بين النهد والدراعات

زي الولد ما يضيع

وصورته تنتشر في الإعلانات‏..‏

ارجع لأهلك يا ابراهيم ما تخافش

زي ابراهيم

ضايع

وما بيرجعش

قصيدة متلخبطة

أولها كان مرعوش بيتلجلج

وآخرها ماشي ع الإيقاع مظبوط

زي العساكر

في طريق الموت‏.‏

Ra'fat ELHagan

I'm not a TV person
I don't watch TV because honestly i don't have the time
so every couple of days i may over dinner watch a 10 minutes from a series or a talk show and as soon as i finish my dinner i leave the room because what i watch is getting on my nerves EVERYTIME
last night holding my remote control and i played this nervvous game of switching the channels quickly ... I stopped when i heared the music of Ra'fat ElHagan
OOH it's Ra'fat ElHagan i screamed
my 10 years younger cousin was there beside me and she looked at me waiting for an explanation for this joy feeling i have .. for her it's some old series
me: it's Ra'fat ElHagan !!
cousin: yeah .. so?
me: Ra'fat ElHagan !! don't you know him? didn't u watch it before?
cousin: no
me: WHAT !!!! (almost screaming .. shouting ..)
cousin: ok ok some time i watch couple of minutes and i switch the channel .. i don't understand
why it's cool or worth watching .. you act like my mom, she 's too get excited when i's on.

.... (you act like my mom) hitted me by a rock so i tried to explain to her why i'm excited
me: ok, i'll tell you why, well in the old days (again i'm hitted by a rock but this time i hit my self) when it was only channel 1 & 2 eltelevision elmasry elra2ed, @ 7.30pm daily channel 1 had an arabic series and @ 9.30 channel 2 had an english one, Ra'fat ElHagan was one of the most successful series ever and all the people were making absolute sure that they'll be home before 7.30pm to watch it, next day in schools or work people were discussing the series .. judging the character .. so on. Ra'fat ElHagan was so special because it was the first time we saw a similar story on TV (secret intelligent .. spies .. Egyptian Jwish society .. Israeli society ......

i kept talking and talking about how great artistically this series was and she kept looking at me without saying a word
when it finished and the end titre was on screen i said : oh Saleh Morsy do you know him?
cousin: who????????
me: the writer of this, he was a journalist he was the first one to open the secret files and creates shows and movies ......... and again i kept talking about him telling her about Gomaa ElShawan and other shows
my cousin gave me the same look i gave my father years ago when he was trying to make me understand why 3ashek Elro7 song by AbdelWahab is a great work of art

I found out that her entire generation doesn't know anything about Ra'fat ElHagan besides the music tone on mobiles and other shows
it's a huge gap between us
we felt good about ourselves as egyptians because of this shows, they didn't see it and they didn't know or believe it

so beside feeling OLD, i felt like I'm OLDDDDD
lol





facebook group about Comrades 70's born

my friends

I believe friends are a blessing not many people are fortune enough and have it

although i'm among the people who (betet3ab wala teksabsh) and not among the people who are (beykassabo wala yet3abosh)

I'm fortune to have some true friends

ok this post i'm fighting myself for couple of days now to post it or not

i'll not say anything new and i'll say even some sad thoughts .. why should i post a similar post?

but in the other hand .. i want to say thank you to my friends and when i say it face to face they start laughing at me

(i think my face needs some adjustment)
anyway
here it's
every year in mother's day, my friends expect that i'll be in a blue mode and they take the decision to change that
the thing is i never talk about being blue ever because i feel it's normal
why talk about old news
anyway this year in particular i wasn't upset or feeling blue i felt like ..... NOTHING
don't know why exactly why i felt **** NOTHING****
nothing bad and nothing good

i think it's a psycological trick (kalam kabeer ba2a) the mind do it to selfprotect against bad feelings

ok so this year it happened once again

i got the mysterious phone call in the afternoon

friend: WE'RE COMING

me: heh?? do we have plan for tonight?

friend: no

me: ahh i got it .. it's because mother's day .. honestly i feel ok

friend: doesn't matter WE'RE COMING NOW ... BYE

so i don't have something more to say

and after some time they were with me in my room looking over some old pics on my pc of old events and trips we went together ... sharing some great moments and laughs

UNINVITED they came to support me and this really helped me a lot

after they went home i asked myself WHAT IF they didn't come .. although i didn't feel the need of any support today but of course they helped me ending this hard day with a very pleasant end and prevent the painfull feeling of being alone from hurting me

so THANK YOU MY FRIENDS FOR BEING IN MY LIFE

AND THANK YOU GOD FOR GIVING ME THOSE FRIENDS

P.S: mala2itsh sora teshbehna 3'yr di .. el7'ale2 elnate2 e7na

carmina burana

we all know Nelly song (e3mel 7etta .. 7etta 7etta ...)
but the original of is it the famous carmina burana piece

O Fortune
like the moon
you are changeable
ever waxing
and waning
hateful life
first oppresses
and then soothes
as fancy takes it
poverty
and power
it melts them like ice

Fate
and empty
you whirling wheel
you are malevolent
well-being is vain
and always fades to nothing
shadowed
and veiled
you plague me too
now through the game
I bring my bare backt
to your villainy

Fate is against me
in health
and virtue
driven on
and weighted down
always enslaved
So at this hour
without delay
pluck the vibrating strings
since Fate
strikes down the string man
everyone weep with me!

MEANING:
and this as i see it: fih nass betkssab wala tet3absh we nass bete3ab wala tekssabsh
