So I found this animated flash banner somewhere on the web. As you can see, the “sections” get stacked on top of each other. The last one is either an adjective to whatever preceded it or just another section, depends on how you read it.

Never under-estimate the power of tashkeel, or a blogger with lots of time in hand.

Take a look at this flyer.
I want to throw nights like these here, just read thru this thing. Some of the stuff seems unreal. Baladi Breakbeat Anybody? Hell yeah. Sayyidi hard-core, I would shake to that. A musical act called DJinn and a magazine called Zaghareet, How cheerful.
But maaaan, you need a Sheikh to Shake with here.

It’s a bit late but I just saw that and I gotta admit although my position is clear about this issue I still admire the light-hearted humor in this slogan, beats burning embassies in my book anytime of the fucking week.
I think I will make a t-shirt out of this.
For non-jahrawi-bedouin-arabic-speacking people, It’s “Ya Mal’ Al Ba’ar Yal Denyemark’ … I can’t even think of a translation.

Hint: Deyood in kuwaiti means tits, pronounced like this ed-yood, a soft e.

Don’t call Abul Kalam to pick up your car when it’s fucked on the road, He will tell you ‘Dooon’t Wooorryyyee, Siiiir. I aaam coming’ and then he will leave you waiting under the sun and will never show up. Also, I’m not sure you want to call his business-card-mate either, Do you trust a man who has a different name in english?

Got it? Got it?
OK, If you didn’t get my morning humor here’s a little hint, Try to read it in Fus’ ha arabic. (pure arabic) That’s what you get when you try really hard to look/ sound kuwaiti.

OK, I have a little competition for you all. As you may have noticed I removed the description of my blog (right next to my picture) and I replaced it with “ON_HOLD”.
Here’s the deal, You describe me/ my blog and I will use your description AS IS without any editing, however, I will give myself the right not to pick any.
GO CRAZY!
The prize? to be decided
(hint: My t-shirts are getting printed)
peace out

First I would like to express my deepest sympathies to the families of these people, I don’t know them personally but I think I should do this before getting down to the subject of this post.
Don’t you like how the letters are kinda squeezed next to each other yet they are not crowded, I thought they use computers and specific fonts to write these names in the papers. Computers can’t do that, only the talented human hand can.
Been digging the art of arabic calligraphy lately. I used to envy the japanese designers on how they can play with the letters of their language to create amazing typefaces with brushes or digitally using computers but now I think there’s a big big room to play with arabic typography and calligraphy.

I found this ad about this calligraphy course and I’m kinda tempted to join. Anybody else wanna join? … Shurouq? it’s in jabrya, you know.

So I’m trying to fix this funky sleeping pattern (again) and I’m up since I woke up for yesterday’s futoor. I feel like writing one of those “this and that” posts amunki write every once in a while.
Listening to: Liberian Girl - Michael Jackson (amunki will get it)
Wearing: White
Eating: Nothing
Drinking: sa3abeel
Feeling: My back hurts a lil bit and I kinda feel sleepy.
Latest Obsession: Reviving my old Baldwin Funmachine.
