Disappointing acheivments

Crowds of people in the streets, Mostly minors Celebrating their enormous success in passing High School examinations ... Pretending not to know that now they are one step closer to a choice between unemployment or a meaningless struggle to become something .. someday. 

Fireworks blowing in the sky pointing out where the wealthy live, and where someone who doesn't need to worry about a Job lives ... because daddy has already taken care of that, he also took care of the piles of driving tickets cause by improper use of a few by some "WOO- GIRLS" screaming desperately for the attention of their fathers ... or any father-like character they can get.

Lectures of observations and criticism about all that, apparently nobody has ever seen such vulgar display of joy ... followed by examples originating from "The Old Days" or " Other Countries"by the wisest cab drivers you can ever meet.

A mother giving Birth to an beautiful girl wondering what's coming next, and what will be in a time where a blood bath is being called "Spring",  killing children is called "Self Defense" and conquering countries is called "Democracy".

The only party that is not affected about all that is the "Money Party" those big fat money makers, who are making more and more money, each event is a chance to  fill those hungry pockets with more cash ... the drug of modernization, the only way mankind can buy things they don't need .

I am eager to see the look on the faces of those celebrating Chipmunks when they realize that their journey has just started, their struggle has just begun, and that there is no mercy out there!.

Maybe There is hope after all, maybe there is an actual spring, or maybe there will be a reason to celebrate in the near future ... but this traffic Jam by those party animals is really getting me pissed Off

  

An Actual Hopeful Day!

Woke up in the morning, hoping for a few extra minuets of serenity sleep that I can't afford wondering maybe one day will come where I won't feel like I was hit by a truck when the alarm goes off.

Racing to finish the morning routine, hoping to make it on time today, hoping for an easy ride to the place we go to in order to help us make dreams come true - not my own dream but they are dreams after all - ... as usual I arrived a few minuets later than I should because of some unexpected  - yet unfortunate - events.

Looking hard for a reason to smile, hoping a smile can make it a better beginning of the renewing challenge called "DAY", knowing that even if it happens I still cannot build high expectations on it, disappointment it a brutal hunter after all.

Going through the day, hoping for the best yet prepared for the worst, but knowing it will be "The usual" , a few friendly faces and voices make it a little bit easier, specially when knowing that I'm not the only one, and it is not easy to anyone.

Home sweet home, now it is time for preparing, eating, washing, connecting,checking, reading, commenting, pretending, making, drinking, practicing, seeing, talking, discussing, convincing, planing, deciding and forgetting which is the most common habit between most people.

Time to sleep, maybe some philosophical thinking, its just me myself and I now, and things seem a lot easier that they were during the day  "It will be fine, Tomorrow is the day where these hopes come true ... I hope".

7 Ugly Things We All Seek!

We live our lives seeking after things we don't want or need and forget the things we really need, and end up miserable and wondering " If I have all I need then why it doesn't feel as satisfactory as I thought it would?!" here is a list of such Items:

1- Cars: A nice ride is always thought of (by guys) as a girl magnet ,and for girls as a privilege, I don't know what is attractive about an engine on wheels that consumes Gas and produces some force,Heat and whole load of junk for the next generations ... And also there is nothing attractive is getting a loan to buy something to pay back the loan with 25% interest and when the payment is finished the value of the item for which you got the loan is half of its original price!.

2- Success: usually success is reached by those how aimed for much more but didn't hit their target, or others who are not worthy. people stab each other in the back, make conspiracies, deal with people they can't stand just so one day they can look at a mirror and say that they are successful but usually they say that while looking at the suit they are wearing rather than when looking themselves in the eye.

3- Truth: Knowing the truth that was hidden from you is just as bad as the lie that you were told, actually worse, now you have to think of how stupid you are to believe the lie, how didn't you see the truth all along and how easy you can be convinced that an elephant actually chased the guy while he was on the way to meet you downtown somewhere in Europe!. and yes truth hurts and so do lies, but the only difference is that truth can set you free, sometimes free falling!!!

4- Money: money is always about making someone suffer, it is about power, it is about need, and hunger, money is always a dirty thing that makes people act with their most primitive instincts, the same way predators when trying to catch a prey.

5- Happiness: I think we all agree by now that happiness is an abnormal state of mind, lasts for small periods of time then leaves you worst than before ... sounds like I an describing a drug, chemically the endorphins that make us happy are nothing but a natural substitute of drugs as we know it, happiness is addictive but the trouble we face in life is more addicted to us, the best you can do is only make it more frequent talking about happiness of course.

6- Settling Past debts: you know when you past haunts you and you want to get even with someone?... when you do you best just to prove someone wrong about you, or would regret hurting you ... the bad news is that is if that person had ever given a damn at the first place you would never end up obsessing about getting even, just wake up a move on.

7- Glory: Throughout history Glory has always been correlated with death, so unless you are willing to kill many people or sacrifice yourself don't hold you hopes high on that, Success is enough for you in this case (refer to point 2).

I am not saying I don't seek any of those things but the whole point is that for every thing we seek in life there is a good side and an ugly side, and if you can't handle the bad maybe you don't deserve the good!.

The rise and fall of love ... Images by banksy

1- One person is living life minding his own business and adopting to all options of disappointments life can offer:

2- When out of the bloom he meets someone unexpected and in-awaited for, and wild dreams are built on ruins:
3- So to approach these dreams an age of modern slavery starts:

4- Although of a hard struggle there is still hope ... or fake hope ..well, It depends...


5-Life goes on and nothing much happens except the Guy is closing in to his target and change is about to happen:

6- Now that the mission impossible is almost accomplished, only few lose ends left, Somebody becomes a decision maker and decides to fly away:


7- The victim realizes the Big lie, understands all the unexplained strange things, and finally comes to the conclusion:


8- A mass destruction campaign starts where the killer makes sure that the victim has nothing to fight with , and the Mona Lisa smile finally makes sense:

9- Hopes and dreams are canceled:


10- And back to no. 1 Maybe 2, 3, 4 ... who knows!!!

P.S. This is a totally imaginary love story, in real life love doesn't just disappear, and people try to communicate.

Nine Plans we never finish ...

We all want to have a blast in life, make use of our rarely free time, but we manage to fail in completing any optional thing we chose to do.

1- Have you ever Started to read a good book, and after the first few pages you stopped... few months later you start reading it again and stop exactly where you stopped the last time?... me too

2- Have you ever had an easy exam... a really easy one? and while answering the questions you just felt bored of writing so you left the last question half answered or you made it obvious to your professor that you know the answer but you are just sick of this exam?... me too if your answer was yes

3- Did you ever have a long Holiday, and you ad so many plans, actually too many to finish any, and you ended up really unhappy that you never did anything in you Holiday?... You too


4- Did ever Start cleaning you home, or at least washing dishes... there always this last small area to mop or dish to wash that seems impossible to do... I ate that burden!

5- Can you ever finish entertainment? we all sit around the TV until there nothing good to watch, we stay online until our connection is down, it is like an on going task that you have to do... I was like that, but once I changed this, I had more time to finish my unfinished plans!

6- How many time did you not finish the soda can you are drinking? maybe you didn't need it in the first place or maybe an average human doesn't willingly consume 330 ml of soda on each serving.

7- why is it impossible for us to attend a wedding until it ends? what is a wedding's end anyway? it is like the place where the train turns around ...

8- In every gathering, there is always someone who forgot something that made everyone else worry about how to manage without this thing but no one make a move!

9- There is always one thing in your car, house, or office that can be easily fixed but you can never do it..

If you have any other examples, please don't hesitate to contribute :)

In the Dark

Have you ever wanted to recharge your mobile phone in complete darkness?!, feeling your way for the slim wire, recognizing the charger by feeling the tip?!. if you do that, stop for a moment and think after you do about how well you think of yourself for this accomplishment that most of us do.

Or have you ever felt something under your bed cover and carelessly you move it to hear the sound of a precious item hit the ground?, your glasses or watch maybe?!. Did you ever try to shut the alarm on a weekend morning that mistakenly went off and ended up spelling the half full cup of water on the side of your bed?!.


One incident I remember is that once in a cold night, trying to sleep, I just couldn't get the bed sheet to cover me properly, turning it around and around trying to figure the right way to put it, I found out that it will never work, the cover was folded!!!!

It happens, but it could not if we just thought of turning on the light, In a time where we are all invited to think out side the box, I invite you to make maximum usage of what's inside, we keep stumbling in the velvet darkness of our lives Ignoring that touch of enlightenment provided by those who tried before us!.
