Vote for Me, I Have a Blog

Kuwait — nibaq on May 22, 2006 at 9:17:12

Inspired by CaffeinatedKuwaiti’s comment that if I ran for Parliament I would have her vote. So it got me thinking who out of the Kuwait blogosphere would be a good option to run for Parliament soley based on that they have a blog.

My are my three choices would be:

  • SS Stallion: He is political, passionate and is active in forming relationships and his political convictions.
  • Purgatory: It is Purg! It is vote for him or death.
  • Maryam: She is our resident astronaut and with her as an MP she would inspire the educational program and get Kuwait into space.

Who would your three be?

Emir’s Speech

General, Kuwait — nibaq on May 21, 2006 at 18:34:01


If it wasn’t for the maid always watching KTV2 I swear we would never know about any news in Kuwait. They interrupted regular programing for the speech by the Emir. Basically he said what we have been expecting. Parliament has been dissolved and that voting of the new parliament will occur in June 22nd 29 with the female voters.

It will be a very interesting day.

Heath and Frank

Currently in London’s Heathrow airport, chilling at the lounge, it is strangely empty, so used to the full lounge of Frankfurt.

Little note about me I had two computers, and was going to start a network in my place and decided to have a naming scheme after airports, so I had one named Heath(row) and the other Frank(furt). I enjoyed it.

So tired in a drained out sort of way. Traveling and worrying about catching the flight from Schipol got to me, and it was delayed a bit (more like an hour). If it wasn’t delayed I would have hopped a train to London and visit my old stomping grounds. I haven’t been here since 87/88 so would like to come back before it hits 20 years of being away.

Terminal 3 is one big strip mall everything is here, I wandered around a bit to get a feel for it, but found nothing entertaining and it is all packed together.So you see it all quickly. This is good for passengers with short wait times, but people like me I am ready to shoot myself in the head I have been here less an hour.

One thing that really excited me when landing was the Airbust A380. Today was it’s maiden flight and I saw it in the terminal when we were docking to our gate. The passengers in our plane were tilting to the lift side to get a glimpse of it. I was in awe.

A plane like that is something new, different and you hear so much about it seeing it there is impressive. Then whe I was moving from terminal 4 to 3 I passed by it and the landing crew were all over it on the ground, even people in chefs uniforms were looking at it. I can’t wait to fly on it. It will be an experience.

I am going to wander around a bit, the ticket counter should be opening soon so I can get my boarding pass and should do that as soon as possible.

The Last Supper

Barcelona 2 - 1 Arsenal.

I didn’t get to see the game cause I was at a business dinner at the Supper Club. Great place something different. You are on these matresses, and the only choice you have when you are there is either meat or vegeterian and they give you this wonderful 4 course meal.

It is a very relaxed place and well different. It really isn’t made for a bunch of men to go there, it is better to have some female company to really get the feel for it. Yet for businessmen who are wanting a change and well a place to unwind it is it.

So I was at the dinner so didn’t get to see teh game, but got scores via my phone. I checked it at 60 minutes and saw that it was 1 for Arsenal, and figured that was it. No chance for Barcelona after all what I did to make sure they win.

Then I check it 20 minutes later and see 2 goals for Barcelona! It was great feeling really got my spirits up and all excited. The conssion of having Israeli flag by Kuwait one was small but it served a greater goal.

Today was a good day, accomplished a lot, personall and businessy, but regret one thing. I went to visit this factory and forgot to bring my postcards. It was an hour and so drive to there and back so I figured be good writing time. I go look in my bag and find I forgot them in my hotel.

The writing isn’t the hard part, cause it goes easy the hard part is writing the addresses. That always takes teh most time. Hopefully I can get it done tomorrow before I leave.

Just saw this movie on tv with Bill Murray playing that spy in England. You know it shows how amazing Murray is as an actor, he had me cracking up. Realy got a kick out of the movie. I hope he gets back to his comedy routes again and not let this Oscar stuff get to his head with drama roles.

I stopped by the bookstore earlier and picked some up to throw at people but gotmyself the Charles Bukowski - Women. I really loved his last book Fctotum and want more.

Bags are packed, well not really packed more threw everything in it and just wanted to forget about it. I love packing for the way home it is the best you dont have to fold or think about where to put the dirty and clean. Just toss it all in and close the zipper and forget about it til you get home. So can’t wait to head home.

Well getting tired, better hit the sack its 2am here and better get some rest need to be up in 6 hours.

See you back in Kuwait.

Long day, been up and out since 9am and didn’t get back to the hotel until 9pm. Just totally worned out but not totally dead. Had a wonderful dinner at this restrautant near the hotel. I dont recall the name, but willl add it in the morning onc eI get the card. It had a very nice menu of french fusion cusine. I had this potatoe truffle appetizer, then a veal escalop, and a delicious strawberry with vanilla mint ice cream.

Whoa just saw on BBC news that they found a WW2 bomb by the Liverpool sea and about to blow it up. Wtf over 60 years bomb that is still around. I fear for Kuwait after ten years and if we will stil find mines.

Today was a good day with work it was really a catch up session and seeing people we haven’t seen in ages. It was totally nuts really trying to walk twenty meters took over an hour just cause once you are done with one group you run in to another.

One thing that was interesting was my phone’s numberpad totally died. It went total schizo, I push 5 and get clear, and more of this crazines. I tried to clean the keysm blew on it, and hit it against the wall, but nothing worked. So at this one meetings one other guy had the same phone and he had the same problem! It occured just recently. You ever have those momments of just wow where it is in just sync. It is like we were connected.

Ok tiredness is majorly kicking in and time for sleep…
