5 Things - A Summer Tag
I honestly believe tags are the perfect excuse for not posting regularly, they pop up out of no where and when you have nothing better to say, just do a tag!
I was tagged by Amethyst, who was tagged by F. who was.. okay I don’t want to go that far back. Anyway, without further ado here is the tag.
- I will always wear…
- …underwear, how can anyone not? Okay you don’t have to answer that. Seriously.
- I will never wear…
- …women’s clothing, or spandex. I don’t think I’d look good in either.
My bad-clothes-day advice…
…No comment. (This is an EXTREME female question.. I’m not going to answer it or consider an answer for it.)
- I know I look great when…
- …all the ladies are lookin this way.
- Smart travel tip…
- …don’t assume, and always check the weather before you go.
- To me summer means…
- …hot weather. The time when it meant relaxation is over, vacations are better during the winter anyway.
And with that I conclude this tag. Yes, a lot of what is up there is sarcastic, if you can’t already tell :p
Now, I’m going to tag Kaos, suspic, and Zed. They’re all guys, and I’m sure they will have very interesting answers.
P.S. If you’d like to look at previous tags, you can read my 6 Things, 7 Things, and 8 Things.
P.S.S. If you haven’t already voted, please take the time to vote on the poll on the right thank you!
P.S.S.S. I’m leaving to Dubai tomorrow with family for a few days, so I won’t be around. I’ll see you guys when I get back enshalla.

My love for Vacuum Cleaners
You know why I love vacuum cleaners?
(Yes, I’m a guy. And, yes, you’re not imagining things. And yes I am straight..)
They are designed to be switched on and off with your foot!
Based on my experience, I have come to see how nearly all the new vacuum cleaners have a huge button on them: big enough to step on. There is usually another huge button to retract the chord as well.
P.S. If you haven’t voted yet, please vote on the poll on the right?

The Totally Useless Blog Post
This is a totally useless and pointless post in nature (if it wasn’t in nature, where else would it be? - another useless question you might say). There is no moral to this post, there is no message. There is no purpose, there is no value. This is merely a construction of sentences to fill the void that has become. How does a post become pointless when it is filled with words and sentences? At least, the sentences make sense, but together they mean nothing. This is, as you have so kindly seen, a totally and utterly useless, meaningless, worthless, valueless, senseless, and insignificant blog post.
I wonder if the comments will be as pointless as this posts…

Chicken, A Tissue, and [No] Pictures
Why is it that nearly everywhere in Kuwait people have problems with pictures being taken! Is it only in Kuwait? I don’t believe there was a problem when I was in the U.S. or the U.K. We could take pictures in the mall, in the grocery, nearly anywhere we wanted. It seems people here have problems with pictures being taken.
We were at the cinema in Avenues and I was testing out my new camera in the beautiful colorful lights. The cinema employer came running to us and said, “No picture! No picture!” I wasn’t that surprised, but what was the problem? There was no one around, and I was taking pictures of my friends.
I figured they won’t stop me, so I took a few pictures anyway. They turned out a little blurry but I have to figure out why, I’m guessing since it was dark, the exposure was on auto and the picture came out fuzzy. Hmm, I need to mess around with it a bit.
The next morning was fun, I walked out to go to prayer, and I saw the chicken that have been running around in front of our house for so long. I was going to post about them a long time ago, but there was no chance because it just wouldn’t be worth it without any pictures. Without further ado, here are the chicken of our fereej* after the break.

Wet and Cold
It happens on occasion and at the worst possible times. Today was a cold morning. I woke up and went to take a shower. It was great, the water was steaming! I turned off the water, and turned around to grab my towel.
…there was no towel.

My Tall Friend, and the Short Me
I went out with a couple of friend for dinner on Friday, then we went to Raya mall for ice cream. Now, here’s something you should know. My friend is TALL, and I am SHORT. As we walked to find a table, ALL eyes were on us like we were some freaks, and indeed we were.
P.S. Drawing style inspired by Laialy. I would have scanned an actual drawing but I don’t have a working scanner.

The Experiment: You are my specimens!
Question: What is your strongest sense? What do you notice the most when you experience things with your senses. Vote on the right please! Thank you.
The idea wasn’t to get a lot of people to drop by really. It was centered around the idea of saying something totally obscene and misleading [link removed] and finding out how people would react to it. Turns you all have good sportsmanship. Give yourselves a pat on the back! I have also noticed that also a lot more people participated in the polls. Why, I can’t be sure. Maybe people prefer to participate in the polls more than leave a comment. However thank you to all who contributed. Welcome singles, forever free.
Now, on to more pressing matters. Last week there were a few people (Joud, Mark, and Chikapappi) who posted about their traffic violations and how ridicules some of their fines have become. Mine are a bit over 350 KD. I have however a strategy that has been working for a while, that might help you as well to avoid the cameras.
After a little conversation my brother and I were having he gave me the idea to literally flag the cameras in my car’s GPS system. Being the loyal citizen that I am, I have gone around and flagged A LOT of cameras, I didn’t count how many, but here is a picture. Keep in mind that this picture is not complete and this is only part of Kuwait. Click on a picture for a better view.
I have also been enjoying immensely my carrot and orange cocktail juice. However, this time I gulped the whole thing down before getting into my work clothes.
P.S. I changed my clothes in the car while driving on the fifth ring road. What a rush!

My Brain is Yellow
***Your Brain is Yellow***
Of all the brain types, yours is the most intellectual.
You crave mental stimulation, and your thoughts tend to very complex.
Your thoughts tend to be innovative and cutting edge, though many people don’t understand them.
You tend to spend a lot of time thinking about science, architecture, and communication.
What Color Is Your Brain?
I don’t think much about architecture though, Hmm. I wonder. Ok. Now they got me! I am starting to think about architecture, oh they’re good. Very good.
