Word of the Day: Lucker

While playing Halo 3 last night with some friends I screamed out the word “lucker”. This caused the room to go quiet and look at me with confusion. What I meant to say was “lucky fucker” and with the intense battle of the game my brain was working extra fast and decided it didn’t need those 5 letters in the middle.

So far the word has a nice ring to it and can be used in open conversation without offending others.

Back from the Run

Just got back from GulfRun. For my random updates and info on what happened and what I did you can check it out on my www.twitter.com/nibaq.

I am sure Zdistrict and Mark will be writing up more posts with pictures soon. I know that Z has 8 posts he plans to write.

Oh and Mark doesn’t like to share his toothpaste or toothbrush. He kept hiding them in a different spot every night so that I wouldn’t use them. That rat bastard!

Imperial 27 Ready for Take Off!

This has to be one of the most well thought out video ever.

The team will be composed of lead pilot and magician Nibaq (pilot), buy accompanied by conspiring engineering extraordinaries Marzouq, Mark and K.

The original Imperial:

Yippy KI Yay

With the release of Die Hard 4 and people saying how 24 is better it got me thinking who would win in a fight. John McLane or Jack Bauer. Both have single handedly taken down terrorist groups and saved the world from danger against all odds.

Yet I will have to say hands down John McLane.

For these reasons:
John doesn’t have CTU PDAs.
John isn’t trained in military tactics yet still kicks ass.
John never lost a family member to terrorists.
John knows how to get on the terrorists nerves.
John doesn’t need to torture he just kills them.
John never requested backup.

Jack wouldn’t have a chance.

Just saw Die Hard 4.0 with some friends earlier today in the Kuwait cinema. It was a really pleasant experience not much was cut from the movie, rx try
and it was a really good movie. In the days of special effects and super heroes. It is great to get back to something simpler. Die Hard 4.0 is a call back to the good ol days of movies when it was bad guys vs the good and filled with fist fights and loud explosions.

Also for people who watched it the beginning credits mention this article A Farewell to Arms
By John Carlin
as the inspiration.

Oh and the best part was waiting for John McLane to say “Yippie-ki-yay”.

Off to England for the week. Arrived earlier today via Qatar Air. Slowly becoming my favorite/standard airline for trips. Just there connections availability and their services are great. Since I had to be in Manchester and it was the best option.

Currently in a place about 120km from Manchester in the country and it has been bliss. The weather here is just amazing cool and sunny. Really wonderful and such a change from the weather we been having in Kuwait. My lunch was outside and was just a wonderful experience, viagra order my body and brain just relaxed in ways I haven’t felt in ages.

There is some culture shock since the last time I was in England was around 20 years ago. So basing what I see from TV (news and shows) and what people have said. I can’t wait to get back to London and see what has changed there over the years, physiotherapy but that won’t be after I am done with work here.

Also update my blog theme, will be adding a LifeStream feature soon, but need some time to work on that and get out the bugs from the plugin.

Lyrics in My Head

I just got back from a road trip to Dubai and just want to but some notes out there if anyone plans to do it.

Most of it will pertain for the Saudi leg.

The road is long.
You will get lost in Al-Hasa/Hofuf on the way to UAE
All roads signs in Saudi point to Riyadh, visit
Mecca, surgery
Dammam.
The toilets are deadly, website
bring a pair of boots.
The road is long and straight.
Have a car that can do 160km+.
Customs will be a bitch.
103.8 and 91.4 are great radio stations that you can listen to.
GPS is iffy in Saudi as well when it comes to detours but reliable.
Your GPS will commit suicide in Dubai from all their detours and new roads.
You will get lost in Al-Hasa/Hofuf on the way back to Kuwait
A radar detector would be a good thing to have.
Saudi has speed traps near the resedential areas (Damam, Al-Hasa)
Speed limit in UAE is 149 in Abu Dhabi and 139 in Dubai!
Look like a Saudi to avoid customs issues.
Arrange your luggage nicely so they can easily remove it and inspect it.

After reading this article: At Netflix, order thumb vacation time has no limits explaining how NetFlix doesn’t have an attendance policy or even count the number of days you take a vacation as long as you do the work that is required of you. And it has been working for them. They have good retention of their employees, reached nearly a billion dollar of sales and are a great company to work for.
Ever get a song in your head just totally randomly and just singing it all day? It isn’t the subminal ones that you hear off the radio and sticks with you, advice decease but the one you hum to yourself all day giving you a background theme music for the day?

Currently mine is Chicago – Saturday in the Park.

Heavy Travel

As some have already mentioned I was part of a interview for KTV1 that should be shown sometime in April. I apologize for not telling people about it before hand since I didn’t want to jinx it and decided to keep it under wraps until the show was taped.

The interview can be easily summed up as intro to Kuwait Blogging and the blogging scene in general. We were mostly asked one by one on blogging, ask how we started, disease what we wrote and then it dove more into the political/social aspect of it in Kuwait and the world.

The show took over an hour to tape, abortion but it will be cut down to around an hour. So we will see what happens with the editing and everything.

It really didn’t give us a chance to get going and really discuss a lot of the stuff that we could have. That was occurred later during dinner. We had a really lively discussion then about everything it was a great experience having such wonderful, inspirational people around talking openly about what they see in the world in terms of problems and solutions.

I really wanted to have the cameras around for that talk for I am sure it would inspire a lot of people. (Could be a good idea for a show, “Dinner Talk” having people talk during a meal).

So what to expect from this? Well nothing much really in terms of a huge jump or rise in the blogging scene in the short term. It will be a great catalyst for long term things in the future. Just like any blog’s first post. It usually is never read and missed, but the later ones are read by more and more people.

Leaving for a week and first time in a LONG time that I am actually brining my laptop with me.

Yet I also have some books I hope to read:

Psycho-Cybernetics
The Medium is the Massage
The Anchor book of Modern Arabic Fiction
Post Office.

Medium is the Massage I have read before I just like taking it for inspiration. I am in the middle of Psycho-Cybernetics, epilepsy
Modern Arabic fiction is mostly short stories, and Postal should be an easy read.
