Parliament – Helmets and Pads Not Included
» ‎ A Time To Live..

A good friend of mine told me once a long time ago that she doesn’t understand why people call for cultural tolerance since the word tolerance inherently means keeping people at an arm’s length, when we should be calling for cultural understanding. Now change cultural to sectarian in that sentence, and apply it to our Parliament, and I would be happy with simple appeasement and civility. Today, I attended my first session of the Bahraini Parliament, and although I expected a fight since...

Worries and Dreams
» ‎ A Time To Live..

I read this quote once: "Our main business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance but to do what lies clearly at hand." So, after finally being able to walk thanks to a couple of "well placed" shots (sitting is another matter though :P), I can resume my regular posts. However, building on the quote, there's one thing about me that I have absolutely despised for a long time, and that is I worry and I dream. Now don't get me wrong, both of these things are important.. in moderation. You...

OUCH!!
» ‎ A Time To Live..

This is my diary entry from yesterday: "OWWW.. stupid gout. This transformation thing is not going to work without a full (health) makeover. OWWWW!! I think I’m taking the day off tomorrow!!!!" For those of you who do not know what gout is I present this: "gout - [gout] – noun 1. an acute, recurrent disease characterized by painful inflammation of the joints, chiefly those in the feet and hands, and esp. in the great toe, and by an excess of uric acid in the blood." Yes, yes I couldn't move...

On The Turning Away
» ‎ A Time To Live..

There are two concepts in life which you will find hold true in most cases: 1.) People always want more. 2.) People always want more for themselves. Most people forgot the act of giving for the sake of giving. I'm not talking about money either. Most people who give, give out of a sense of guilt, sadness, anger or a range of other emotions. Most give money to the homeless so they can feel better about themselves, they give time to charity A or B because they have nothing better to do, or...

Money Comes and Goes, Friends are Forever
» ‎ A Time To Live..

You see, I came to realize one simple concept after everything I’ve been through. That is that money comes and goes, but friends are forever. Now bear with me, this is not just a cliché that I copied off of some corny calendar, but I really did realize that it doesn’t matter how long it’s been or where life has led you, a true friend will be there for you without hesitation. I mean, I realized that a true friend is a person who gives without being asked, who can be trusted without fear, and who...

Then, Now, and YOUR Job :)
» ‎ A Time To Live..

I'm broke! Only my friends in Bahrain can understand why I would start my blog with those two (technically 3) words. I mean I have some stocks which are worthless now, and I have a little money left, but that's all earmarked, and none of it is for me. Let me attempt to explain these words' importance to everyone.. Then: You see, for the last few years I have done nothing but aim to accumulate as much money as I can in the shortest period of time, and for some time I seemed to be VERY good at...
