3arad mush marad


i have this friend that is 24/7 suffering from a sever headache

so she took some aspirine pills and go on with her life

i keep telling her "you should go see a doctor because headache is a Symptoms not an illness: meaning something else is wrong causing this terrible headache, once you know it and deal with it the headache will be gone"

but my friend keep ignoring me .... 3ady ya3ni

although she knows i'm right

WELL

it's not just her it's the community, the society, the nation, ....
we keep wasting our time and effort fight the symptoms not the illness itself

in the bread disaster we live in daily: creating a whole new system for bread distribution on every citizen using his ID >>>>>>>>> is fighting the symptoms not the illness
no bread because there are no wheat as simple as that

the new system will not create a new wheat field
the 30% raise is an obvious example on how dealing with the symptoms and not the illness.
giving the people 30% more income will not help, if inflation is way more then that and the total GNP is getting lower and lower.
it's not about having more banknote in our hands it's about the value of the banknote itself

the new traffic law is about "killing everything except the virus"
force people to pay fine for parking in the street ... while there are no garages
force the people to abandon the car older then 20 years ... while there are no obvious instruction on what exactly should we do with it

and more, how to buy new cars if i can't sell the old

etc............

even in our day to day life

we tend to take an aspirin instead of Antibiotic
make the pain stop without killing the cause of it

if i have a problem at work, i'll go out with my friend ..... just an aspirin to kill the pain
and not setting everything straight at work and make fights ... taking a Antibiotic to kill the virus

we all do this

even if we take Antibiotics, we use it more then necessary till we create another source of pain
it's a culture

Culture of Aspirin and not Antibiotic

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

حافظ مش فاهم

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 :)

50/50


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.‏
