ell

can someone explains to me why the hell a 13 years old girl will want to buy an earrings like those: NAZI symbol, playboy magazine symbol, nike symbol, jaguar symbol, ... etc?????????????

these earrings are sold in 13 shop @ carrefour
it's ignorance or lack of responsibility from the shop owners to sell these stuff to kids

google, what's next?

once a speaker in a seminar i attended said: later on; governments and country borders will gone and they will be only GOOGLE

tedata theft

a friend sent me this link, it's a photography competition held by TEData
coool, right?
Absolutely NOT
when i checked the competition rules, i found out some "pleasant" ones:
يحق لشركة "نهضة مصر للصحافة والإعلام" استخدام الصور بأى شكل كان بعد تلقيها من المتسابقين دون أن يكون عليها أى التزامات.. ولن يتم إعادة الصور إلى المشاركين بعد انتهاء المسابقة.

يحق لشركة "نهضة مصر للصحافة والإعلام" تعديل أى شرط من شروط المسابقة بدون إبداء أية أسباب وفى أى وقت تراه .

this is Unethical, it means i take a picture send it to a competition, probably don't win a thing and then they 'll use my picture without the need of my permission in any and every medium they want !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
there's an invention in the world these days called "حقوق الملكية الفكرية / copyright"
COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!
this organization is a governmental one, they should be the one to obey the law not to break it.

what if someone, took my picture put his name or watermark on it and sell it online or offline, how they will prevent that from happening
selling your picture online is very profitable if you have the quality pictures, check the list

We have to stop apply for similar Unfair terms, don't participate,unless they change the rules and keep your copyright over your product
The thing is it's a common behavior for governmental organizations like the water, electricity and gas providers, they always make you sign unfair contract "عقود اذعان"
they put the rules, you have to accept because there are no other providers
BUT online photography contest tooo? HELL NO
there are other thousands alternatives
want to be known, win prizes and have unlimited exposure upload your pictures to flickr or similar sites, participate in honorable competitions.

دستور يا اسيادنا

فى قعدة لطيفة مع شوية بنات لطيفة اتكلمنا فى موضوع لطيف
البنات دول علاقتهم بالسياسة تنحصر فى مادة حقوق الانسان اللى بياخدوها فى الكلية (اذن العلاقة بين السياسة وحقوق الانسان واضحة جدا ) ده اولا
ثانيا الموضوع اللطيف هو ليه مفيش تمثيل قبطى فى اى انتخابات
المهم انا قلتلهم طبعا دى غلطتنا علشان مش بنرشح ولا نترشح
فردوا بان ماهو اصلا ماينفعش يبقى رئيس الجمهورية قبطى
انا: ليه يا جماعة؟
هن: علشان الدستور بيقول كده
انا: الدستور مااشترطش ديانة المرشح
هن: لا احنا اخدنا فى مادة حقوق الانسان فى الكلية ان المرشح لازم يبقى مسلم
انا: يا جماعة الدستور مش بيقول كده
هن: يا بنتى احنا اخدناها فى الكلية، انتى بتكلمى فى ايه
طبعا الموضوع ده وجعنى جدا جدا
بعد البحث والتقصى وصلت للصفحة دى: دستور جمهورية مصر العربية على موقع بوابة الحكومة الالكترونية
وفى الباب الخامس: نظام الحكم
الفصل الاول: رئيس الدولة
مادة(75): يشترط فيمن ينتخب رئيسا للجمهورية أن يكون مصريا من أبوين مصريين، وأن يكون متمتعا بالحقوق المدنية والسياسية، وإلا تقل سنه عن اربعين سنة ميلادية.
اهه اهه ادى الدستور على موقع الحكومة ماجبش سيرة ديانة المرشح
المهم رجعت لواحدة من مجموعة النقاش ووريتها الصفحة فردت بان الكتاب بتاع الكلية مابيقولش كده
طبعا انا مش عايزة ارشح نفسى ولا حاجة انا بس كبرت فى دماغى انى اوصل لمصدر المعلومة
السؤال بقى: اى الكتابين اصح: الدستور على موقع الحكومة ولا كتاب حقوق الانسان اللى فى الكلية؟
هل ممكن يتم تزوير الدستور فى كتاب جامعى على اعتبار ان ماحدش حيقرا الدستور والناس حتكبر دماغها؟
هل الطلبة اللى درسوا الكتاب ده ممكن يتغير عندهم فكرة فضلوا يذاكروها سنة بحالها؟
والاهم: هل الطلبة الاقباط وصلهم احساس ناس كتير يهمها تزرعه فيهم: انتوا ضيوف وخواجات؟ ولا حاربوا الاحساس ده داخلهم
على اى الاحوال وفى الختام: اتمنى ان اللى يروح ينتخب فى اى انتخابات ايا كانت يبقى على اساس معيار الكفاءة مش اى حاجة تانية
وبرضه مساء الخييييييييييييير يا مصر

مساء الخييييييييييييييييييييييييير

ليه مش حيبقى عندنا مفاعل نووى ولا حتدخل اى جامعة من جامعاتنا قائمة اهم 500 جامعة فى العالم
علشان حالة التحشيش العام اللى بقينا فيها
مثال:
امبارح رحت لنجار علشان ييجى يصلح لنا حاجات فى البيت
وانا عمالة اشرحله الموقف وايه المطلوب
فاجأنى بالآتى:
- مش انتى بنت الدكتور؟
- ايوة
- هو مش باين ليه؟
- (اتساع فى حدقة العين - فتح الفم لآخره - كتم الصوت: باختصار تنحت)
- هو الله يرحمه ولا ايه؟
- (ردى عليه تكون من كلمة واحدة) 2001
- ياااه ده من مدة يعنى

طبعا النجار التايه دة لا جه ولا صلح ولا نيلة
ملاحظات مهمة جدا لتوضيح الصورة:
- النجار ده فى شارعنا
- لازم نعدى عليه على الاقل 5 مرات كل اسبوع (اى فرد من الاسرة) فى طريقنا لاى حتة
- بعد وفاة ابويا انا وامى واختى كنا كلنا لابسين اسود طبعا لشهوووووور

بمعنى: الراجل ده اخد 8 سنين علشان يلاحظ ان جار له اتوفى
واخيرا: مساء الخيييييييييييييييييييييييييييير يا مصر

I wanna be numb

Numb - Pet Shop Boys



Don't wanna hear the news
What's going on
What's coming through
I don't wanna know
Don't wanna know
Just wanna hide away
Make my my escape
I want the world
To leave me alone
Feels like I feel too much
I've seen too much
For a little while
I want to forget

I wanna be numb
I don't wanna feel this pain no more
Wanna lose touch
I just wanna go and lock the door
I don't wanna think
I don't wanna feel nothing
I wanna be numb
I just wanna be
Wanna be numb

Can't find no space to breathe
World's closing in
Right on me now
Well that's how it feels
That's how it feels
Too much light
There's too much sound
Wanna turn it off
Wanna shut it out
I need some relief
Think that like I think too much
I've seen too much
There is just too much
Thought in my head

I wanna be numb
I don't wanna feel this pain no more
Wanna lose touch
I just wanna go and lock the door
I don't wanna think
I don't wanna feel nothing
I wanna be numb
I just wanna be
Wanna be
Taken away from all the madness
Need to escape
Escape from the pain
I'm out on the edge
About to lose my mind
For a little while
For a little while
I wanna be numb

I don't wanna think
I don't wanna feel nothing
I wanna be numb
I don't wanna feel this pain no more
Wanna lose touch
I just wanna go and lock the door
I don't wanna think
I don't wanna feel nothing
I wanna be numb
I just wanna be
Wanna be numb
I just wanna be
Wanna be numb

وطن تانى

الوقت متأخر
وما عدش ينفع..
طول عمرك بتيجى على نفسك
وتسافر.. وتبعد
لكن بترجع..
إشمعنى دلوقتى
عايز تروح ما تجيش..
وكل ما أقولك مالك..؟
تقول.. مفيش
هو أنت لسه بتفكر
ودلوقتى
بعد ما بقيت بتنهج من سلمتين
رايح تدور على وطن تانى فين..
فاكر الزمن واقف ما بيتحركش
بص ف تاريخ ميلادك
واحسب سنك..
استنيت ليه لما كبرت
والحزن بقى أكبر منك..
كان ف إيدك الورق
ومستوفى كل الشروط
فضلت تحسبها بقلبك
وأقطعت الورق
وحلفت والله ما هموت
غير ف حضن الحبايب
طول عمرك فى الحساب خايب
الوقت متأخر
وما عدش ينفع ندم..
جواز سفر محترم
كان كفيل..
يحمى طفلك الجميل..
من كل تجار الفساد..
يا أخى كنت اعملها
عشان خاطر الأولاد..
جواز سفر محترم يا عم
كان أهم من كل اللى كتبته
واللى لسه ها تكتبه
قلتلك دول وحوش ما بيرحموش
ولا ها يبطلوا يكدبوا
الوقت متأخر
والله يكون ف عون اللى يقع
ف البلدى ويقول أنا محتاج..
معلش يا ابنى
لا عندى صبر ولا ف إيدى العلاج

بطاطا بطاطا
كتب على سلامة فى المصرى اليوم

حالة القسوة المنتشرة حاليا (قسوة الوطن) لكن حتى الآن لا استطيع استيعابها
كيف يصل انسان لهذا الاحساس بكره الوطن؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟

Work moral

At work something happened that made me think about writing this post
2 months earlier a colleague left work and another one was hired to fill her place
since day 1, all the rest of staff agreed on one thing
she's a very difficult person to deal with
it was a personal opinions not related to work
no one was happy doing the smallest conversation with her
bit by bit, her work attitudes turned to be the worst ever seen
doesn't want to help anyone, answering to the superior and other with tone full of IMPUDENCE
her first and always answer to anyone is: why me? it's not in my job description or I'm not going to do IT
no one was actually judge her work or her efficiency, it was all about personal stuff

yesterday talking with one of the staff (a real good decent person), she raised her voice and things turned to be a fight
each went to the chairman office and he took a decision in a millisecond
"I'll let her go today"
and he did

in less then an hour, all the staff were working on how to replace her
downloading CVs and calling people to set interviews before even she left the office

the moral is when you are bad in dealing with your colleagues, no one will give you a second chance. people will be happy to let you go.
the thing that keeps pumping up in my mind is that i was her superior and i was the only one who judge her work, and i didn't share this with all the rest, only with my superior
but all the rest of the staff judge her personality only and they were all agreed that she has to go
most of all the chairman who didn't took much time to take his decision, in fact he already made his decision before she entered his office
and for him the problem wasn't about the level of efficiency but the bad communication and cooperation between her and the rest

build strong work connections with your colleagues and be ready to help when you can if you can, because that's how you earn stocks in the market of your company

Silver Metallic people

Colors are one major tool humans use to express themselves, thoughts, ideas, entities, ... etc
In Egypt we are bad with colors.
walking in the streets, you will find one color dominates, and it's not a nice color at all ...
SILVER
the street lamps are silver/black, the new big veolia trash cans are silver, lot of shops sign, TVs, receivers, shopping cart in carrefour, shelves in malls, ...

stop at any mobile shop and step 2 steps back and take a whole look at the shop window, it's ALL SILVER plus some black/ metallic
take a look at the online store for elshennawy

have you noticed the cars: the new models are all in silver, when asking a car salesman: what are the colors available for this mode? silver of course and gold and red and silver and.. ehh white and silver and gold and ah ... aha the black will cost you more of course

when obama visited egypt, elMasry elYoum wrote this title:
«القاهرة» باللون البرونزى.. «أوباما جاى»

It's not really bronze it's silver
apparently we use silver to describe the "new" "modern" "rich" "high tech"
check any gadget and see the available colors: SILVER metalic
even airports, check this, (It's a client)

BUT WHY?
why the extensive use of the silver color to express the modern, high tech
in the 70s when the space movies disease started, it was all in silver: the space ships, the equipments, the buildings, and of course there were other colors used but not to describe the heroes of the movies
as usual we copied the idea and then stopped, the 70's era ended and we still stand on the same point
modern, hightech= silver
THEY (fi Europe we eldwal elmotakadema) evolved to the multicolor era, space movies are in colors now as you can see posters of some of (2008/2009)
but still other movies in silver
check the whole list of the space movies

the point is the lack of imagination status that is controled the society, i don't want to have a silver mobile, silver TV, silver receiver, silver car, i want colors but i can't simply because there is not any.
it's how a bad taste or one taste dominates.

STOP THE SILVER INVATION
