Megavideo blocked by Fasttelco

any other video hosting services next?, the 3 other than youtube locally popular ones that shall remain nameless?,
another censorship attempt by the MOC now that the 6eeraan banging "peope's representatives" are off the scene?,
does it even make sense to block services that don't even advocate what is deemed to be blockable by the dear ol' ministry of communications,
is it even fair that they control what services we are allowed to use "skype anyone?"

good thing i still have my 3g internet..now back to watching my illigally ripped movie stream.

i love you AFL!

yet another bunch of great people that make me still have hope in this forsaken piece of land

if only my parents weren't the oldskool kuwaiti parent kind of type, i woulda had me a cute lil cuddly kitty and probably a puppy too =(

i have to respect my parents' "NO FREAKIN PETS SETTING FOOT EVER IN THIS HOUSE DOUCHEBAG" kind of ideology and settle for an adoption when i'm happily hitched and have my own 'crib' (did i just type that...)

if you can adopt a pet and/or are willing to chip in to the good people at Animal Friends Leage of Kuwait, make sure to drop them a line or give them a call at +965-67001622

thanks Mark for having their banner on your blog, you have you have my salute and mucho bueno karma shoved your way

thank you, mister sailor guy

thanks to you, i've been living in 56k dial-up hell for the past week, you and your anchor made my 1MB line drop down to it's knees and cry for a mercy shot.

2000 freakin' pings aren't much fun when you're an online gaming addict, not to be able to watch online video doesn't strike me for having any use for my friggin' mac box either.

to me a computer without (usable) internet is just a hunk of junk, down ranked to a data storage box for all i care.

i hope you, your crew and your heavenly anchor had a wonderful week..just like i did.

one of the best animes i've seen

Fullmetal Alchemist=THE BOMB!!

i just got done watching the whole series, fantastic story and awesome background.
took me 4 to 5 days to wrap it up and it was absolutely worth it!

i also did the whole 3 seasons of Avatar a couple of weeks ago, for an american made anime it turned out to be beautiful, definitely added to my best seen anime list!, took me about a week of 5 episodes every other day, wish i had time to watch the WHOLE THING in one session lol, i wouldn't have gotten any sleep for 2 days straight but well freakin worth it for the watch =)

now to probably get hooked on naruto then call it quits for another year before i go 'anime addict' crazy..(wha? <.<)

i just thought of deleting my blog

all the memories from tracing my old entries.., feels awkward, reminds me of interesting people i met and lost track of, i wonder what happened to them how are they doing now are they happy are they well are they choked up in life's ultimate charade

i wish a happy fulfilling life to them and theirs

used this little web thingie mostly as my personal open diary, i actually enjoyed the fact that people would possibly read what i spew out what goes through my mind, started when blogging became the new thing that people waste time at on the web, now it grew to be one of the most influential web presence up until now, wow.. glorious

on a second thought..pass on that idea..i'll leave it be, hop on from time to time..why not.

memoirs..valuable..sure

the mini update

just got off work an hour early today to catch up to bin khaldon street, i really wonder why they close up so early compared to other variety stores around kuwait, some close at 9:30 while others do last minute merches around 10.

lucky for me i have a friend that i've been counting on to feed my nerd doses and i called him early to hook me up with an external dvd drive.

now for the ripoff comparison
  1. iCity combo drive replacement 90 kd+5 labor= bullshit

  2. order it online 24 kd+whatever they take for shipment

  3. buy an external which i did 18 kds

number 3 is what i did and it seemed the least fucked up thing to do just to reinstall the operating system and bring back my beautiful web browsing desktop with beefed up ram! WOOT

and onto restoring the mac

it's me again

yesterday morning i picked up my mac mini from iCity, what used to be Mac City..me thinks

bought this little beauty over a year ago at a whopping tag of 320 KDs, the now mini that they offer which are out of stock atm and they offer it for 280, the difference is huge performance wise and the repair cost for my little baby is HALF THE FREAKIN PRICE of the NEW ONE

let me explain further, 30 kds for the ram upgrade which consist of 2x little itsie notebook ram sticks that i can pick up on bin khaldon street for 12-14 kds (guesstimate).

90 KDs for a darn combo drive, looked up the tags on the 2 days it took them to pop the hood and swap the little things and spotted the ripoff,

costs 24 kds for a combo drive and 14 for a super one which i absolutely won't mind cause i rarely do any burning on the box anyways..

the reason i needed to replace the drive was stupid me shoving sticker labeled roms inside the poor lil thing when i first got it and the drive ended up as a sticker microwave and got borked,

now the other reason that really made me drive my lazy ass into the traffic disaster that is shuweikh to get to iCity is that the power went off in my house and the poor mini decided to not take the hit for the millionth time, thing boots into os x just fine but for some reason Finder and Dock don't want to Start up anymore

tried all the troubleshoot crap i could lookup on google like deleting a couple of plist files and doing Disk Permissions repairs and all that sort of geeky stuff

the mini is amazing for such specs, like handing a zillion tabs on firefox with huge flash videos running, that's with only 512 megs of ram on a thing that is technically on par with your regular ol nowadays 250 KDish cheaptops that are all over the market
just as a reminder i got this thing a little over a year ago, i can't let go of this thing ;)

had to plug my sort-of-a-backup-pc linux box and play around with it while playing WoW on my game box.

so there ya go, first post in a little over a year and a half on my abandoned blog.

back with thought flows!

fallen angel..

You scored as Fallen Angel. You are a Fallen Angel empath. You have not found your place in this world yet and wander as a lost soul. Your wings have been clipped but you know deep inside they will grow back. You need to fly free and proud. Fallen Angels are spiritual beings who were trapped by flesh, and are now seeking to spread their wings again. (from the Book of Storms at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Empaths/)

random thoughts

amused, bored.. pissed off, frustrated..angry

sick of the constant routine, that's not my style, what i feel liek doing, i'm a laid back person i have a huge amount of patience i do things with ease, doing repeative things over and over again every day, counting months at a time instead of days..too long. patience ends grouchness flows frustration juggles in my mind i hate i dread those feelings, piece of mind is what i seek, a smile on my face is what i hope, love and peace peacefulness respect caring for your fellow human being..please..

alone is what i am what i think i feel like..(I=Aries?..scary,creepy)


*lights a cig* consumer products are what i'm hooked on..lights and coke..pathetic isn't it?..i ditch one the latter seems to miss the first, cigs taste awful throat's dry=annoyed me, latter popularly known as coke tastes like tap water filled with sugar, loses the tingly sensation=ew *chugs on a slightly frozen can*

winter's here, i feel it..sick of dishdashas they're not my style..even though i've been wearing them for years (2-3?) they're just a pathetic excuse..hide your unathletic figure shame on you you look uh so average, you look like a careless dresser shove a dishdasha on short hair no need to cone, beard? the hell with that i'm not in the mood to shave it or trim it myself, go to the barber every couple of days?, yeah right!..riight...as if..
winter's here, fashion outburst start wearing jeans shirts and Ts, hip..hip is what i'm aiming for, i'll try..no i *AM* gonna do it, decent looks start going out get rid of that damn routine, movies..i miss the movies..pop corn!

raw unmodified/adjusted thoughs printed out..damn it feels good.. such a relief..

messy?, it may be, trying to get rid of that long termed writer's block pour your thoughs out again man you can do it, this is your mind's haven your thought's sanctuary

circus, everyone's busy with their own lives..friends..tighten thy's link..please..i miss you, cosy atmosphere's what i desire, family and friends closeness i lack at the moment, i try..i try..

come on you wanna talk about a confrontation with your old man you only hinted it don't tell me you only blog thoughts exclusively, funny you consider yourself logical "tell it, analyse it as it is" you say, that's not just "feelings" and "thoughs" you're conversing with yourself answering your own queries in the same sentences..burst of thoughts is what it is young gun(lol*cracks a smerk*)


whoah..wow :|

surprise myself sometimes

enjoying my life is what i aim for, soulmate..soulmate..are you there?..candidates i've met and related to..*blank*..*blank*..where are you?

simple thoughts, might be emotion related..i have to elaborate expand express explain i don't know..am i obligated?, no, i know myself and i know how i feel what i mean, i know what i want i just haven't found yet


*turns on comedy radio*..amusement is what i need atm..until then(when?), i'll try to be up to date, lighten up a little, cheered up! i'm feeling good. thank you
