So after 2 years of hibernating... I mean working in Kuwait am moving back to the heathen west. I will be in London pursuing a program at Uni. I hope to meet some of the UK sifters and put some faces to the names, have chips, beer and possibly rape you.

14. Riche Hawtin - (D)ecaying Beauty I love finding songs that sound one way but inherently have a different meaning altogether, kind of like when I went to da club once and all white trash girls were going skeet skeet skeet without knowing what it means. Here's one I came across recently a disco classic that has a far more serious social overtone through it's lyrics, it also happens to sound awesome. Machine - There By The Grace Of God Lyrics ->
Carlos and Carmen Vidal just had a child - Transcripts emerged from a March 6 radio appearance by Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele in which he discussed climate change.
- Turkish police dispersed protesters at a global water-shortage summit in Istanbul by spraying them with water cannons.
In my previous Blog about MTV Arabia I mentioned how they really nail the clash of cultures that the youth of the middle east is going thorugh via their short MTV Skits. These are two more that recently started airing.
The first one is called Saudi Mortal Kombat/Street fighter. All the behaviours and words spoken by each fighter is such typical arabic fighting shit, like using your shoe or the getra as a weapon. But most of all the last segment, when the guy calls his friends - "Shaba! Ta'al!" I laughed so hard at that I feel off my couch because this is exactly what people do when I had fights back in High school.
The second one is called "Pimp my Thobe", is more comedic dance off battle, between an Arabi dude and someone who is all hip hop, both winning and losing in their successive styles of dancing, eventually the Arab dude starts to appreciate the music and seemingly converts to hip hop. The funniest for me is when the arabi dude starts dancing and pwns the dude with his Arab style, notice how he tries to keep his outfit tidy, a very common cultural thing where the men take extreme care in their clothes. At 1:58, you can see a maid complaining about all the clothes she has to clean up speaking of the huge amount of maids in the GCC.
It was a slow weekend, I decided to make a mix tape of some songs I really like. It's all female singers so I pretentiously called it Voice Femme.
I put it up on Media Fire now.
A few of the songs people might have heard before, a few maybe not. Its one long mixed file.

Internet and phone communications between Europe, the Middle East, and Asia have been seriously disrupted after submarine cables were severed. It is thought the FLAG FEA, SMW4, and SMW3 lines, near the Alexandria cable station in Egypt, have all been cut. A fault was also reported on the GO submarine cable 130km off Sicily. Experts warned that it may be days before the fault is fixed and said the knock on effect could have serious repercussions on regional economies.
Makes you realize how fragile the physical connectivity of the Internet really is... check out this map put out by Telegeography of the Internet 2009.
One fun fact from that Internet map is that 45% of traffic is web and 25% is P2P! Someone working at the US embassy invitied me to a USMC party, they requested I send in my information like civil ID for the usual security clearance. I do so and recieved the GO a day later. The day before they tell the person who invited me that I have NO AUTHORIZATION to even enter the US Embassy. My friend told me that they didn't really clarify a reason, he said it could be because am from Uzbekistan (former USSR satelliate) or have a job listing of computer programmer (I might hack their NOC list).
Either way I wasn't overly suprised. I mean really this kinda of shit would probably make me a terrist It seems really funny, US is so strange and hypocritical when it comes to dealing with my nation, they rented out our airbase North of Afghanistan, used our oppressive special forces to torture captured fighters so they could keep their own hands clean, then later criticized our presidency for being too dictatorial. Our president got pissed with the US State Department telling him if he could or could not oppress his people and kicked them all out. MTV Arabia was launched in the GCC region quite recently in November of 2007, it is the newest addition to the MTV networks. As a Free to air channel it has been a huge success, not surprising given that almost every GCC nation has large youth populations that lack representation and something of their own. The channel has been very sensitive to the region, Isreal doesn't exist as a nation when signing up on their website, raunchy videos are not screened at all, the channel had a complete music blackout during the month of Ramadan, various graphics always try and include kids in traditional islamic or arab dress. It has been interesting to watch this channel launch and more importantly try to appeal through branding and promos to a society that is clashing with the modern and ancient, between young and old at the same time always appealing to an Arab cultural background. I think they have done an outstanding job via their promos. This promo is of an Oud player losing it while in the middle of a very classical type of performance much of the middle east would have seen in the past. Taking the old and remixing it with the modern, a theme alot of these promos follow. This is the same case in this following promo, Dabkeh, an arab like dance performance that gets jazzed up through modern twists. The following is the funniest and most relational to arab life, the typical scenario of trying to impress girls by performing stunts via cars or any means, and finally ending with a vain attempt to exchange numbers. This acutally is how its mostly done in the middle east given the social norm of not having men and women freely associate, applicable most of all to Saudi Arabia. Lebanese dudes chilling at a street corner snacking on pumpkin seeds, another cultural stereotype that identifies the channels audience perfectly. I love the bit where he harasses the girl and she smacks him. The launch of MTV Arabia is a good step in the passive acuturilization this region is going through in the long run. The plan of the channel is to foster a growing hip hop and r&b scene locally something not at all covered by the other music stations in the middle east most of which transmit a very commercial and old style of music. The NY Mag complies some highlights from the profiles on the Atlas Sphere. siftbot: Farhad2000 entered the lounge at November 8th, 2008 9:37pm PST
Farhad2000: I see my sworn enemy is here. Farhad2000: Your political views and assumptions are intellectually bankrupt legacy0100 legacy0100: whut! Farhad2000: You know this is the truth. legacy0100: I see a defeated man here to reconfirm his noted wrongs! Farhad2000: I see a man trapped in his delusions and illusions unable to face cold hard fact and reality. Farhad2000: Do not be afraid. legacy0100: only if your claims were true, perhaps then it may be less pathetic to see you constantly lying to your own self! Farhad2000: Your views are so fringe they are considered queer and foreign like a boil that was allowed to grow for too long. Farhad2000: Its time to lance it and end this depravity you call your political and socioeconomic views. legacy0100: face it child, you are lost. Let your angered soul be guided towards the light. Do not refuse what is already proven to be CORRECT! Farhad2000: Your machinations fail to chink the glorious armour that is my soul and heart. This only deepens your envy. legacy0100: a time to know what has been done, and proven! Blinded by your own zeal you cannot see the worried faces surrounding you! Farhad2000: Alas you must face the truth, that your words are simply the subconscious views of yourself, a mirror being held up for the truth is too hard to process and swallow by your fragile state of mind and possibly wandering sexuality. legacy0100: Ha! curs like you needn't be reasoned. The only truth you may accept is by constant correction, by force! Farhad2000: Your petty views are not surprising, given your adoration for Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot and others of small mind and heart who can only wave and scream in angry in the face of illuminated truth that shines forth like a beacon in the cesspit that you call your dwelling legacy0100: it is YOU who are too feeble to size upto my proud manhood, thus always rallying upto mention about my unhindering sexual appetite! Farhad2000: For small dogs and estranged children of the third world? It is deprave and beneath any man. But you, you wallow in this, your adoration for Asian nations shows this. legacy0100: the stench of which you smear out from your own dungeon of defecation, piled with brainless optimism in times of stern reality check, sickens me to the very core Farhad2000: Am surprised you actually have a core to sicken, given your prostitute like allegiance for any flavor of the month political ideologue. legacy0100: perhaps it is easy to have such unshaken views of the most outrageous claims, for it has detatched itself so far from reality that no one knows what to make of such foolish claims! legacy0100: a beast entrails covered in its own unholy business still may look more appetizing than to watch your lips move about, spewing away such loathsome ideas and corrupting the very sense of sanity in this world! Farhad2000: My words just sicken you because they illuminate and deconstruct your petty ideologies piece by piece; you resist too much, protest too much, but know deep inside that I am right. Wetting your bed nightly while weeping into your cheap Ikea purchased pillows. legacy0100: say now, defender of ridicule, champion of idiocy, you claim blasphemy, you idolize ludicrous. I need not resist such things, I merely avoid them, like I would from a heap of excrement, a diseased harlot, to save myself Farhad2000: Strange you should protest so much about avoiding diseased harlots given your constant presence in the foulest brothels of the land dipping your insignificant member into a porridge that has been stirred thrice over. You represent a sickness of the mind, a petty man who only dares follow in the shadows of men greater then him, rattling your saber and tongue only by putting forward views of those who came before you. legacy0100: oh, you poor thing, it is no longer anger i possess in me against your lunacy, it is pity. It is pity I feel compassion for you, for you are truly lost. And I, your hope of redemption and guide, you cannot recognize. My poor child, I feel sorry for you, tisk tisk. Farhad2000: Your pity is a check your soul cannot cash. You say words that stem from a deep set feeling of envy, for I am a freeman, but a free man is an abomination to you, one whose views sicken you so much you can only but shout and scream in rage, only because such a man is represents your inadequacy, your failure, your insignificance. legacy0100: and know this that my grand ideas of which you cannot possibly fathom with your unfortunate cranial capacity is of my very own. A man of my own being, perhaps it is you who are walking amongst the generous shadows of which shelters you from the burning rays of sun called Reality Farhad2000: Your ideas are so ill-informed and simplistic that any grown man would think they were put together by chimps flinging poo and editions of Nietzsche, The Fountain Head and Mein Kampf at one another. Farhad2000: The sun you call reality is simply your overgrown cancerous ego in which you hide and bask stroking yourself like some teenager who has discovered sexual pleasure for the first time, trapped in your own silly world. A sight that has the populace shaking their heads in apathetic disgust. legacy0100: such candor can be had from the most dazzling pace of words. You are making mountains made of clouds called fantasies and claim it will last for generations. But did you already forget that inside it is nothing but a dream wrapped in fluffy air? Farhad2000: Unfounded claims put forward like the last screechings of a man who knows he has been defeated. All your idols and ideas have been brushed aside in all history because of their failure. Yet you proclaim that you represent reality? Reality has done away with your foolish ideas like a grown man who has given up childish things, sweeping them under the carpet trying to forget earlier naivety and foolishness. legacy0100: A teenager, am I? Then perhaps one would know from experience, that when one is young and clueless, falls in love for the first time, but then the love you experience is different from one you have fathomed inside your young imaginations. Hence you go about labeling it that it is wrong, that you are the only one correct. Such immaturities can only be acceptable when mind is so young. legacy0100: pity, that your should be acting a bit, older. *chuckles* Farhad2000: Should you really be talking about emotions and feelings you can only dream to possess? The cheap diseased prostitutes you purchase do not love you, each one would rather ingest poison that would result in a horrific death rather then ever love you, why do you think they drink so much before getting into the vat of shit and decay that you somehow refer to as a bed. Farhad2000: I need not even talk about your immaturity, given that your record would only speak for itself each comment, each posting another septic tank of rational and intellectual murder. legacy0100: How the young and confused get away with such murder! They do not understand, thus they deny it, refuse it, hate it, even. And when facing the facts, they insinuate, attack, never do realizing that the very things they describe, is merely the reflection of their own stupidity and confusion. legacy0100: farhad, I love to go on forever, but i'm starting to get sleepy, and I have to pee xD legacy0100: and my toes are getting numb lol Farhad2000: Backing out are we? Admission of defeat? No wonder you choose to finally characterize yourself in that last deluge of shit one can hardly call comphresenive sentences. legacy0100: fine fine, you got it this time... but only by technicality!! Farhad2000: Your ideas slam against the very fabric of reality, like an animal rushing towards a concrete wall endlessly too unable too obtuse and stubborn to realize its own error. legacy0100: .......... Farhad has smelled blood... He wouldn't stop!! legacy0100: I must leave, before I am mangled! legacy0100: Fairwell, for a promise of another fight! legacy0100: Ciao! xD GOod night gentlemen Farhad2000: Run! run you heathen! Away with you! siftbot: legacy0100 left the lounge at November 8th, 2008 10:35pm PST Type socialism into Google image search and this is one of the first images you get:
Type Capitalism and this is also one of the first images you can get:

I find it hilarious that there is catch phrase words used by Kuwait
newspapers and journalists. The result is usually hilarious hyperbolic
headlines.
Any criticism for example is always "slammed":
Anything great is always either "hailed", "praised" or deemed a 'success':
In the cabinet and parliament they only 'grill':
Any Country ties are always "deep tied" or "deeply rooted":  |
