Mad TV - Apple's iPad

Mad TV has produced one of the raunchier iPod spoofs we've seen to date (meaning: probably not safe for work) in the form of an advertisement of, how shall we say, pads for women who 'think different'. The 'iPad' ad wins bonus points for coming complete with a spoof of the iPod silhouette ads and a mock voice-over of Bono.

Do you see it?

It doesn’t look like much now, but it has potential, no?
Well look at it (if you need more convincing, you're welcome to my home). It is just sitting there, but I can hear it calling. It is calling to let us know that we need to tell our local government to build a Park with water fountains, hiking trails and some wildlife (tamed of course). It can be done, I don’t know who to ask or write to. Any Suggestions?

I would hate to see another friggin building get sprung.

Take a Chill Pillllll (prozac is your friend)

Believe me, I'm all about the positive energy and good vibes, but some people are bringing me down, down to Chinatown (very original, i know). Folks (not bloggers, eh maybe some), life is to damn short, stop taking yourselves so seriously. The fact that I'm blogging about this somehow feels like it defeats the purpose of something (according to Lao Tzu).

Moving right along.

Jazz on the radio. We only deserve couple of hours a week? Can't we (jazzists) all come together on this and fight the powers that be?

Nahr(river) Ibrahim. Not bad for a stream. Pics available for a reserved few (not really).

For those psychoanalysts out there, is this normal behavior (my nonchalantness) for someone who is going through a huge culture shock (again)?

Tayeb, please have the best week of your lives, and keep it to yourselves, because I really don't care. :)

Good Morning?

Tayeb(i like this word), I’m up in the morning about 6:30 doing my semi yoga/stretch routine that I have very recently picked-up (you know, to be more flexible for the ladies) and what I hear on the radio? Country Western. Travis Friggin Tritt. Eh Rouh Baa. How do you suppose one’s day should start with TT on the radio in LEBANON of all places. I mean isn’t it enough that we have to put up with Celine Dion on the french stations? I can put up with La Cosa Nostra running the country, but TT and Celine I shall not, period. This Revolution Has No NAME.

SUN Day Kenafibjeben

Tayeb:

My Lebanese street slang is definitely on the up and up. Yaani, I'm remembering phrases and words I haven't used for many many moons. Moving right along. With Delirious and Maldoror, I attended the latest blogger get-together, and of course, I brought some chairs and had a blast. Many thanks to Linalone for the invitation. It was a pleasure meeting some of the bloggers I have come to know this past year. Definitely looking forward to the next meet-up. Now, off to Sea Sweet for some Kenafi.

The Secrets Out

In the constant attempt for world governments to syphon off wealth from their own populace, the government of Lebanon has been secretly working on a formula to reduce expenditure, especially for their elederly. Apperantly, they have found a solution. The government of Lebanon has broken ground in establishing one of most stress filled enviornments for its citizenry that according to most current census, by the time an average Lebanese male and even female (at this point) reach ripe old years of their 50s and early 60s, it is pretty much guranteed that they will drop dead from heart failure.Yes, I've been in Lebanon for 5 days and already have learned to Bull Shit like one, or the ability may have resurfaced while being dormant for some years abroad. The one positive so far, for 50 bucks a month plus $300 for the modem, the speeds at which I can surf the net is not so bad for a 3rd world country. (sample size = 2 days)

I sincerely hope you will have a wonderful day, I know I will.

I missed you my dear old blog, but I have nothing to complain about. No one or thing to praise. Actually that's not true. I'm enjoying the discussions taking place at LFB, and what different members bring to the table, might I add the real round table in our country by far. Hail to you all for you are perfect with all your flaws. :)

VW Cojones

Volkswagen says it will remove billboards in New York, Los Angeles and Miami after receiving complaints that a word used in an advertisement was offensive to Hispanics.
