Walking down Memory Lane

I tripped over a stone someone had put there

Eighteen years ago

When I, much younger then, mistook  for a bad dream I had to escape.

If I pick it up and put it in my pocket

Will it weigh me down or sit for a while unhindering as a reminder of what might have been?

Walking down Memory Lane

I tripped over a stone someone had put there to trip me up

Eighteen years ago, today.

ROCKING RUSSKIES
Written by To The Point News
Thursday, 06 March 2008

Prepare yourself for this one - maybe with a Stoli martini or two.

Back in the days of the Soviet Union, the Soviet Red Army had an official choir composed of male soldiers and musicians. It still exists. The Red Army Choir performs throughout Russia to this day.

Now consider the Finnish rock band called The Leningrad Cowboys. A little while ago, they held a concert in Russia, in which - to the screaming applause of Russkie teen-agers - they got the Red Army Choir to join them on stage for a performance of “Sweet Home Alabama.” In English. You couldn’t make this up.

We’re talking seriously off the wall here. Better have that Stoli ready when you watch it:

(Prepare to die, laughing!) DA! Da! Da!

so i just got back from doodas , we took down the christmass tree , yes i know taw il nas but ma3alaih its better late than never or something, had sheesha, discussed stuff and people

eeeeeeeeeeeeee 7ayati biyee next weekend I CANT WAIT hehehehe

the last time we almost broke up we had the first adult-ish conversation about the pitfalls of our dysfunctional relationship and this is supposed to be when we will demonstrate that we have changed 5af bass nothing changed we were just giving ourselves an excuse to stay together lana we both dont want to let go

and i know we will at some point, which is sad but seriously shwaish and 7amany will never have a conventional union, we’ll end up as best friends, i may be his mistress, madre walla kil shay jayiz , maybe when we’re widowers or divorces we’ll get married and raise cats but our journey is a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooong one

but he makes me happy like no man ever was able to

his mommy is in kuwait and he wanted me to meet her!! 3ala ay asas bala? “hala 5alti shloonich ana shwaish rfeejat wildich” 5air inshala??

maynoon! ahhhh bass a7iba , a7iba amoot feeh aroo7 fidwa lqondarta no 3ad yakil tibin but u get the drift and this time badal3a baroo7la il ma6ar LOL kalb

im grinning like hell walla and its all because im writing abt him, my tall ,handsome, big nosed, soft spoken, sweet, sexy bitch *licks him wayid*

il weather il youm 3ajeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeb i love it i love it i love it

wa li2awal mara in MONTHS thursday was milkless for me kila min il antibiotics il klaab

you know 7amany said i was cold with him on the phone but ya3ni im sorry how hot can i get on the phone?? ya3ni he wants me to be all kissy and phone sexy but awalan how effective is a kiss on the phone oo ba3dain who kisses like this ummmwwwwwwwwwwahhhhhh na3am? thats not realistic theres no sound to the kiss unless its a moan accompanying the kiss cuz its  soo good

and whats in it for me with phone sex bala? ya3ni the first time he wanted to do it, i was dying to giggle and then i did A LOT for many times after that, then when the giggling became hurtfull to his ego or labido i dnt know which, i was silent, he’d yap and yap and yap and i’d be flipping through a magazine totally silent, oo chakni mara hehehe then when kisar 5a6ry oo i decided to participate it got me no where, it just turns me on wag3ad ana ba3dain a6ig rasi bil 6oofa wil 7abeeb is all satisfied and shit!

i  just dnt like it, okay marat its just fun but usually im just on the other end of the line, moaning on que , checking my nails, thinking abt something dooda or one of the munchkins said, thinking his voice is sexy and bass, but i guess relationships are all abt compromise so if it makes him happy i shouldnt be complaiining ….7mar

the things i do for love

ok i love belly dancing, i love watching, i love dancing it, i love its music its just so damn sexy but moshkilti im very particular abt where i dance and who gets to see me dance and dooda has been harping abt this music thing and i found it for her oo now im so in love with it oo hal person ili bil video is just @@ 3ajeeba badi3at

belly dancing is kila dala3, kila onootha, kila a5555555 u know? i hate HATE women who think they can dance and then dance ib difasha oo yingal 3anhum theyre dancing

im worried abt butthead, he doesnt share EVER and keeping things bottled inside is just not healthy and i love him so much and i want him to be happy ya3ni seriously ihwa oo dooda are my best friends ever and i always want them to be happy il moshkila i know wats wrong with him its just that we cant help him because its such a tough situation…

speaking of friends , i have many, but only a handfull mean anything to me, and i think now that i added a new friend to those who mean alot to me and whats weird is that i didnt even meet him yet, and i know that that feeling of closeness can dissapear when i meet him but i hope not madre i’ll know in a couple of weeks

and i think that pretty much sums up the contents of my muddled mind

see ya bitches :*****

i love u all, some more than others

( Hey all you housewives over here with hubby working for the oil sector, and claiming your pensions in England while you try to run a school or something in Salmiya or Hawalli…….you are still illegal. Be careful, Mr Ministry Visa Man may be right behind you………)

”Kuwait’s parliament on Thursday approved in principle a new labour law that provides the emirate’s 2.35 million foreign workers better conditions but fails to scrap the controversial sponsor system……….”

Labour regulations in the private sector are enforced
by the Ministry of Social Affairs & Labour (MSA&L) ,State of Kuwait.

**if a clause in a contract gives an employee
a lesser benefit than the basic rights prescribed under the law, he is
entitled to the minimum specified by the law for that particular term.
**A translation into another language may be attached but the Arabic version is authoritative, i.e. only the Arabic version will be considered while resolving a labor dispute in MSA&L or in a court of law.
**An employee may be hired on probation for 100 days at most. During
this time the employer can terminate him without notice, though accrued indemnity but not holding pay must be paid. The same employer may not put an employee on probation more than once.    
( so your 100 day probation is null and void in your second contract )
**An employee has the right to quit without notice before the expiry of his contract, and to collect his indemnity and not pay compensation, if:
· His employer fails to abide by the provision of his contract or the labour law
· The employee has been assaulted by the employer or his agent
· To continue in work would endanger his health 
We are currently investigating whether or not your 'new' contract is actually legally binding befroe it comes into effect ( ie September 1st)

Not content with insulting our very own Manuel, losing his job, recently returned to work, Jonathon Ross has done it again…….

The presenter returned to Radio 2 this weekend after a 12-week suspension.

During the programme, Ross’s co-presenter Andy Davies mentioned an elderly woman kept kissing and cuddling him while he was carrying out DIY at his Spanish home.

Ross joked: “I think you should just, for charity, give her one last night.

“One last night before the grave. Would it kill you?”

Oh would it kill you to just shut up?
