Pre-Weekend Post :p

Hey guys how u doin? I know I know... been away for a while, been happening often. Its summer, the sun is slowly taking a toll on me.
What has been happening? I was hesitant to talk about this event but it is one of the things that happened. I knocked the door over the last weekend, intro meeting nothing more. mmmn, her mom asked what are your hobbies and I said am passionate about playing the guitar. The mother is religious and so is the daughter. Apparently they don't listen to music. Incomplete intelligence report I guess. Well this is an important issue for me and I expect this to be added to the search criteria :)
I don't generally celebrate my birthday, well am a scorpio so its at the end of October. bare with me here...

On a side note, did you guys know that a person in love has the similar characteristics to a person w/ OCD? Obsessive Compulsive Disorder? A person in love has psychiatrich issues in other words. Meaning a persona in love is not fit to really make decisions technically. They also say that prozac (the anti-depressant) can "cure" love, heh but who wants to be cured?




The above picture has been my desktop background for a while now.

Another picture of my dream guitar. The Gibson Les Paul Black Beauty, it might be within reach but I would always believe that this guitar is holy.

The point is, if this was to be my birhday gift.. hint hint I'd be sooo happy about it... I told my cousin Dr Shredd something that am gonna reveal this once so pay attention.

If a lady gives me this guitar as a gift, I think I have no choice but to marry her on the spot.

So am givin u ladies ample time to think about it. Your happiness and some one else's happiness might be within reach here ;) its all in YOUR hands

Fresh start

I apologize for not updating my blog for a while, I wanna assure you there were no technical problems. I honestly just couldn't be bothered with blogging over the last week feeling extremely lazy. Seriously didn't feel like it.

Yesterday I went to vote early in the morning to avoid traffic, I believed the results didn't matter that much so I voted for Barrack Obama, j/k
My vote ended up being based on who I have access to, connection in other words. I just couldn't c a real differentiating value among the candidates when it comes to issues.

Anyways the results some were surprising results like Salih Almullah being the only liberal in the 3rd district who ran as an independent surprisingly. So its an interesting mix we have now.
I have drafted a letter to the mp's going to try and send it to as many of them. It is written in English, because it is more convenient for me. I would like your feedback concerning this letter please to improve it

Update: Thanks to No3ik and some events the letter is updated. The news papers report a law suit against Ahmad Almuleify with regards to allegations he made against the Prime Minister. So free speech rights are even affecting the mp's hopefully this'll show them how important it is to act.
Also the student council in Kuwait University has demanded improvements to education and the economy, so these letters and anyway to contact your mp's are valuable to make sure they hear these concerns from multiple sources.
updates to the letter is gray.
********************

We congratulate the winners and our representatives. May god help and guide your actions in the freshly elected parliament.
This election cycle has demonstrated increased awareness from the people regarding the issues, proved by the high turnout in the 2008 elections.
After giving you our votes, hence giving you our trust to watch over our society, as voters we will hold you accountable for the well being and progress in our country. We expect our representatives to focus on the significant issues that make a difference to our progress rather than waste time on minor issues and personal gain.

Some of the neglected but significant issues that we will focus on:

1- Promoting natural rights and watching out for hindering them by any authority. Our representatives have to set the tone by defending our rights to free speech and rights to privacy. Keeping a close eye on government activities and regulations that attempt to hinder them or violate them as in the case of the arrested bloggers. The mp’s are to take initiatives to expand our rights and oppose any attempts to limit us whether its by the government or fellow mp’s. Already we have seen multiple law suits concerning the publication laws some of which affect teh mp's. That is a clear example of what happens when free speech rights are violated.

2- The economy:
a. Transparency: Globalization is a fact and there is a lot of discussion focusing on making Kuwait a financial center in the gulf. We face a lack of transparency generally in Kuwait in both the public sector and the private sector including the Kuwaiti stock market. A critical part to fighting corruption is promoting freedom of information similar to the freedom of information act in the US.
b. Prohibition of monopoly/ anti trust: There have been a lot of advances during the last few years opening the field to competition, however more needs to be done and this issues needs to be tackled accordingly.
c. Easing of burecracy procedures.

3- Infrastructure Projects:
a. Education and human resources: We want to see more serious actions taken to improve this area since it’s the main driver of a country’s progress. Education has been neglected for a long time, we would like to more education reform with a clear strategy that is goal focused on improving education. More resources should be devoted to human resources and education.
b. Transportation: Increased public transportation is essential for the upcoming period of our country. This will affect all areas of our lives including the economy.
c. Housing: a scientific study should be conducted to project the future needs of the future generations and expanding by promoting projects to build new cities to accommodate the increased demand in housing.

4- Public Health: Public health is a priority for teh advancements of societies. Many problems face the public health sector and we urge the mp's to listen to the experts in the field to help improve our standards of living.

5- Women issues: Many issues concerning women are arising especially the rights of the Kuwaiti woman's children if she was married to a non-Kuwaiiti. The mp's who take intiative tackling these issues will be able to differentiate themselves to a big voter base by the next elections.

These are samples of important issues that we expect our representatives to tackle. With the elections system changing to a 5 district system, the need to expand your voter base will change; and differentiating yourself based on issues and showing results based on the trust that the people gave you will prove more important. The people will be able to point out the inactive members and / or the members who are in it for pure personal gain whom will be filtered constantly every four years.

Weekend H E L L E C T I O N S

alwatan newspaper reported on May 7th (link in arabic) a move in the government to limit government employees from publishing their criticisims for different reasons among them that they may not be objective. Its interesting in this day and age when everyone should be striving to expand speech rights and transparency, more of the limit everything attitude being displayed.
There should be natural rights awareness around this place. But fear not it only affects government employees. ofcourse considering that public sector employees make up 95% of the kuwaiti workforce.

So anywho, anyone out there got hear from the candidates? I've been slacking off.
Any of them has human rights in their agenda? I read an article the other day about how the candidates who r fighting for their seats back are coming up w/ all these serious issues and insider information and passion for fighting the current problems and the author asked, well why haven't you been fighting for these issues when YOU WERE in the pariliament? Instead the issues we had to deal w/ were cancelling the debts, the seperation and mixing of genders in schools, and public gatherings. (dewaween and tajammo3at)

I honestly doubt this deep in the race there will be that much positive change in the cultrue of the parilament but, one thing we need to do. Voters we must hold our reps accountable. deal?

Now, the word verification thing. Is it really that annoying? some spam is filtered that way. So it has benefit. Lets get a serious debate going regarding the word verification and as usual w/ weekend posts.

Have your best weekend ever.

Dream of mirrors

(image source http://www.officesnapshots.com/ )

Have you ever had an un-concluded dream? you wake up but you were into the dream soo much... that you had to go back to it again?

How many times did you wake up, go get ready to go where ever your supposed to go, only to find out that you were dreaming you were getting ready. and it feels realistic.

How many times did you wake up on time for your boring routine shi* ... but just thought no, no, no, NOT worth it

the real question fellow bloggers and blogerettes is, how much control do you have over your dreams? And how r they a part of your life?

C? its called abstract for a reason, to confuse the hell out of you.

I was thinking about an apropriate song few came to mind (lazy by deep purple) (dream of mirrors by Iron Maiden) But here are the lyrics of Judas Priest in their rare track living bad dreams --- source lyrics mode

I'm hypnotised And helpless Beneath the pale Full moon

My body is your sacrifice You spirit's coming soon

I stare up at a Squalid night It's been so cold And smooth

Turns tender kisses Into bites As you begin to move

You look so weak And fragile You seem to drip And sway

But you swept me up into Your arms And carried me away

I'm living bad dreams

I can't run from you

I'm living bad dreams

This nightmare's Coming true

You led me to temptation Delivered me to pain

I walked upon you Hallowed ground My soul is yours to gain

Your passion drains My energy Fear starts running deep

I'm falling in Slow motion Into eternal sleep

I'm living bad dreams

I can't run from you

I'm living bad dreams

This nightmare's Coming true

Your passion drains My energy

Fear starts running deep

I'm falling in Slow motion

Into eternal sleep

I'm living bad dreams

I can't run from you

I'm living bad dreams

This nightmare's Coming true

I'm living bad dreams

I can't run from you

I'm living bad dreams

This nightmare's Coming true

I'm living bad dreams

Ohh ohhI don't want bad dreams

Living bad dreams
