Silliness of Life

One of the very main reasons why I love this blog is that it's one place where I am not required to be prfound! It's one place where I am not required to be anything, actually. I could be however silly I want. There's no risk! People who read this blog are either people who never even met me, or people who know me well enough to realize that I am silly and dorky most of the time! And, acutally, being the silly person that I am is a relief.
Days ago I went to a soft ball match, a friend was playing. All the players and even the watchers were "white people" like Gogo calls them. The thing is, (again, being the silly person that I am) I didnt know what the hell was going on. I dont understand the rules of the game or anything so the only thing i was doing was commenting on how silly this one is, or how this guy has a big butt or like, the fact that this guy looks like a pirate etc, :D
And, it was so much fun! Seriously, this was just as fun as being in a Gender and Literature class and having to think about prfound, deep ideas of gender and stuff!
Believe it or not, the ability to be silly is one of the best things in life :]

حقايق - متابعة

خمسة، النهار أحلى بكتير. النهار بداية جديدة و علشان كدة فيه بهجة. فيه ناس بتعترف انها بتحبه، فيه ناس مش بتحب تعترف انها بتحبه علشان الكآبة بتحسسهم بالأهمية. و فيه ناس فعلا بتحب الليل و بتحسب بداية اليوم منه!
ستة، الصراحة من أكتر الحاجات اللى بتخلي الإنسان قوي لأنه مش خايف من نظرة اللى قدامه. بس الحقيقة اللي مش هتفيد أنانية لأن الشخص الوحيد اللى عمل قرار هو اللى قالها و قراره مش فى مصلحة أي حد غير نفسه اذا كان قالها عشان ما يبقاش عليه حمل لوحده.
سبعة، الأجوبة مهمة، و مريحة. بس ان الواحد يختار انه يجاوب على حاجة مش عارفها، دة خوف م المجهول و جبن.

واحد اتنين، حقايق مملة!

من سنة أو حاجة أنا و سارة صاحبتى كنا ف سلينترو الكوربة و قررنا نكتب 10 حقايق. مش اللى هو الشمس و النجوم لأ حاجات احنا بنعتبرها حقايق...من بعد اليوم دة أنا و هى اتغيرنا كتير. دة غير ان الورقة ضاعت! فانا قررت اكتب 10 حقايق جديدة على ضوء التجارب الجديدة و التغييرات. ممكن تكون اكتشافات كمان مش حقايق

1- ان الواحد يحب الحضارات المختلفة، و السفر...و انه يعتبر انه "وليد العالم" دة مش معناه انه مش منتمي لمكان، أو ثقافة معينة.
2- الانتماء مش معناه الاتساق و لا الاتفاق. الانتماء اختيار و اعتراف بتأثير مكان (أو زمان) على الشخص.
3- المشكلة ساعات مش ف ان الناس مش فاهمة أنا مين، المشكلة هي انى أدي الفهم، أو عدم الفهم، التدير أو عدم التقدير أكتر من حقه. المشكلة لما الخط اللي بين رأيي ف نفسي و رأي الناس في ما يكونش موجود.
4- ان الواحد يعترف انه غلطان مش بيقلل من غلطه. ان الواحد يعترف بعيوبه للي حواليه مش مفروض تكون دعوة ان هما يستحملوا ان العيب دة يجرحهم.

Inquiry on Ramadan and What Nut.

Ramadan...everyone's favourite month. My least favourite month! Ramadan is there to stay *twenty eight days* for good times' sake! I have to stop eating in the street, I cant even have a gum in my freakin' mouth. In university, I am the christian who doesnt have respect for muslims, OR the muslim who doesnt fast. Both are bad...
Today in the kitchen as I was preparing my breakfast my mo7agaba sister says: "hah, zay kol sana?". And I laughed. So she replies, "la2 begad, zay kol sana?"
"zay kol sana", I said.
"tab leh keda ya3ni, afham weg-het nazarek"
That puts me in a position that I hate. I promised my dad not to talk about religious views in this house. So, I have to shut up, or say something really really stupid. I chose the latter.
"Ana mat3awedtesh 3al seyam, w mesh fahma nazareyet el seyam kwayes. Mabasomsh".
At that point, she gave me the "La 7awl wala qowata ella bellah" look from the corner of her eyes and she left the kitchen.
What am I going to tell my youngest sister. My 7 year old sister now? Am I going to have to fake the me having all the diseases on earth again?

Twenty eight days of me, eating when no one else is. Twenty eight days I have to go to school earlier (7:30) which means I will have to wake up extremely early (6:00).

Twenty eight days of endless T.V shows on T.V, of people doing the things that they should do all year long. Twenty eight days of feeling left out!
I don't like this month.

البوصلة: عبادة ابن رشد : فلسفة التنزير النخبوي

This is an article, written by my brother whom I very much appreciate both as a brother AND as a thinker. It's an article about Ibn Roshd and his philosophy counter-arguing the theory that Ibn Roshd is a modernist. Take the time to read it, it's interesting.
