Soundrack of life : intro

Ok, that was going to be a long long post so I split it into several shorter ones

I don't think anyone can deny the effect of the endless movies we've seen on our lives. I mean, I know I'm not the only one to say that sometimes I feel like today is just another scene in a movie. So, yesterday in the workout , it occurred to me; what if my life is in fact a movie?! What would it be like? What soundtrack will be playing in the background? Who would be the leading man? What kind of movie will it be?

I took those thoughts and explored them further later through the day and decided, well, probably no one would be interested to know what my life would be like as a movie, but then again it's a piece of my mind, I get to blog whatever I want. No?

Firstly, some facts:
  1. In a movie, any movie, she is the star, the one who the whole story goes on and on about. In real life, I am just another random person of the countless souls that roam this earth.
  2. In a movie, the right soundtrack to play in the background makes all the difference. It can even give change the turn of events. In real life, there is no music in the background. Actually, in real life, sometimes , even when you have the right soundtrack in your mind, a neighbor practicing their "Twinkle Twinkle little star" on the high pitched irritating violin , or a passing car playing "2adeek te2ol makhadtesh" in a loud noisy shaky sound can absolutely ruin your mode. So let's just say.. real life goes on mute most of the time.
  3. In a movie, whatever the genre/type is, the leading man is tall , dark and handsome, with longish curly hair, plays the guitar (or paints) and has a British accent ( think Hugh Jakcman in The Prestige or Kate and Leopold but add the accent and the guitar thing. In real life, well, the leading man does not have a British Accent :)
  4. In a movie, all the events happen according to a pre-scripted plan by the author and the director. In real life, at every single scene, I have to decide "what I want", which really isn't as easy as it sound, really!
  5. In a movie, the final scene is really the end of it. The conflict/problem has been reslved, whether it's the happily ever after, died and went to heaven, died and went to hell, got cracked up and ended in an assylum. Really, it's the end of it. In real life, it just never ends... you keep going on and on and on.. conflict after conflict and by all means... happily ever after (or even happy for a while) is not even an option.

الفرق بين الطبخ على نار هادئة والطبخ السريع

 لاحظت إن بقى لى فترة كل تدويناتي إما تتحدث عن الحب (أو عدمه) والمشاعر (أو عدمها) أو تدوينات حزينة نكدية بتبني جو من  الكآبة العامة اللي محدش لا طايقها ولا ناقصها اصلا. فقررت بيني وبين نفسي أني مش هكتب حتى يكون عندي شئ خفيف وظريف أكتب عنه. المشكلة للأسف اللي وجهتني هي أن كل اللي بيدور في بالي دلوقتي إما الشغل ومشاكله اللي مبتخلصش أو حوار المشاعر اللي قلت إني مش هتكلم فيه، فقررت أسكت. بس النهارده وأنا في العربية مراوحة البيت من الشغل جائت لي فكرة قلت رغم إنها بتكسر شوية القرار اللي فوق إلا إنها تمشي مع فكرة خفيفة فممكن نعملها إستثناء فكرت في قد إيه "الإعجاب أو الإنبهار" بشخص ده عامل زي طرق الطبيخ، فيها السريع واللي على نار هادئة والللي الواحد يقعد يجهز فيه ويستنى عليه في الفرن إنه يستوي، مبيستويش. طبعا أنا محبب عليا أقول "الحب عامل زي الطبيخ"، بس من ناحية، أنا لسة من كام يوم بقول إن الإعجاب محتاج كثير علشان يبقى حب أصلا، ومن ناحية تانية حسيت إن الجملة مستهلكة جدا من قبل النكت القالشة.    أنا كنت طول عمري بميل للطبيخ السريع، زي طريقة "ستير فراي"، في

When Love Died

Yes, love died, about a year ago. No body knows exactly when, but it was sometimes early September or late August. Can you imagine something as big as love dying and no one noticing? Well, people did notice, in a way or another, but rather they couldn't possibly imagine that love , could in fact, die! For some, it changed into other feelings; feelings that could have usually be confused with love - lust, possessiveness , compassion, familiarity, kindness, fear of loneliness or even instinctive protectiveness. But there are a few people who are still lost at see with the void that death of love left behind. They struggle to find meaning. They... Ah well,.. Here are some stories from these people: Scene 4 Greenwich Wednesday, September 4th, 2014 It wasn't very rainy that day, unlike the rest of the week, so Tom thought that today has to be the day. He stopped at Marks and Spenser's on the way to class to pick up some flowers and concealed them cleverly. The day w
