A good friend can tell you what is the matter with you in a minute. He may not seem such a good friend after telling.

-Arthur Brisbane-

We are here to add what we can to life, not to get what we can from life.

-William Osler-

Life is a comedy for those who think... and a tragedy for those who feel.

بعد المديح في المُكَمَّل

أحمد أبو درب سالك

أحكي في سيرة و كَمَّل

عرب يُذكَروا قبل ذلك

********************

و يا آه يا عيني على آه

يابا آه يا عيني على آه

و يابا آه يا عيني على آه

عرب يُذكَروا قبل ذلك

سيرة عرب أقدمين

كانوا ناس يخشوا الملامة

رئيسهم بطل سَبع ومتين

يسمى الهلالي سلامه

Oh, I’ve been missing some old days lately! I can say I am really missing to those days! I’ve been back in memories to the years between year 1999 and 2003!

These were the college years! so wild and fun days! I can quote Brain Adams in his song summer of 69 “We were young and restless!” but “I guess nothin' can last forever”.

During those years me and my old friends including close friends I know from college had really great times together. The whole year of those each of those years was a too much fun. We almost enjoyed every moment. Even sad moments that I remember, I still feel how close we were together during those moments.

Oh, I wish I could return back to those moments, reunion ourselves and gather to have one single moment of those days!

Guys, I missed you so much.

You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt, as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear, as young as your hope, as old as your despair.

-Paul H. Duhn-

I borrowed this quote from a dear friend on facebook

Within Temptation

The best liar is he who makes the smallest amount of lying go the longest way.

-Samuel Butler-

Be like a postage stamp. Stick to one thing until you get there!

-Josh Billings-

A song that I liked and wished to dedicated to all mothers and especially my mother. She will never know about this dedication. But who cares if she knew or not ;o)

The song is in Arabic, by a band called "Wist El-Balad" which almost means "Down Town" or "City Center".

The song talks about how a mother dedicate her life for her sons and daughters. And about the true feeling that every one of us carry about his or her mother.

-Shakti Gawain-

Today I watched one of the best Arabic movies produced at the beginning of this year. The movie called Mikano. I am not writing a review about the movie but I would like to share the idea and imagine myself as part of this movie.

The movie is about a person who has an issue with his memories. He simply has a volatile memory. He made a very dangerous surgery at age 16 in his brain, and after this surgery he was able to remember everything before the day of the surgery. But anything after that day became as part of his volatile memory.

Being able to forget everything suddenly and restart is an interesting idea. Especially when you just wake up in the morning and your mind only remembers and lives at age 16 of your life.

This life is impossible if you are alone. Having someone beside you to help you start all over again and again every unknown period of time is what make this life possible.

The good thing about such person with defect in his memory is that at some points of his life he will feel sorry for himself he had this issue and feel how hard life is while having such issue. But this feeling will not last for long time, because sooner or later his memories will be cleared and start all over again. As if he is reborn again.

Thank God for the life given to us, and for the way we are living anyway.

Lead, follow, or get out of the way.
