Misheard lyrics of the day

We fell in love in a hooker's place, we fell in love in a hookers'place.

New Year's PC party

I decided to go to PC party this new year with the boy and a bunch of friends.
I changed all my plans since it was going to happen in a circus and I just love the circus atmosphere.
We got the early wave ticket ($69) ; tickets on the door were for $80.
 Quoting the event's page :
** 2 different light systems , and entire set up for both stages (each hotter than the other)
** Live Circus Show while the party is on (Acrobats, Clowns, Magiciens)
** Special Circus make up artist to Color your New Year Face
** No presence of animals inside the party or outside of it due to animals rights
** 2 OPEN-BAR (with an army of barmens) - OPEN CREPES-OPEN LEGS.
** Many Lounges tables and chairs
** 10 toilets to make it fast
** Glitters all over you to make you remember what you did last year 
** Plenty of Alcohol to feed you and your hangover 
** Thousands of balloons
** Everything you need to celebrate a lovely Start up
** Bring with you whatever u want: champagne, caviar, your dad, your mom ... :)
** Much more to come 


Ok, I was extremely disappointed and didn't feel that the $69 were fair.
We were promised acrobats,magicians,makeup artists... guess what they were quite nonexistant.
We were promised open crepes? what a joke, expensive food.
The balloons didn't reach thousand 0.0

Well the drinks were good, I drank a lot (suffering from a hangover now lol) but it is fine.
The music was neat and nifty.

As for the security, I heard a lot of people having problems with them, but personally they were fine to me, maybe because I didn't really notice them offending anyone.

But the New Year's countdown was sorta weird. I mean , it didn't feel like new year at all, it was sooo fast.

Anyway, I am not sure why they claimed all these things.
Did they face a problem and couldn't fulfill their promise?
Or was it some scam to make people come?

Either ways, I actually had fun but didn't feel like I was offered my money's worth.
Happy new year y'all.

The Lebanon I Dream Of ... (documentary)

I was directed to this documentary.
I'm watching it right now and it's surely fueling my anti-corruption excitement.
This means, weird plans boil inside my head.

MUST SEE!

It doesn't matter if you're in a relationship ?!

Ok, I signed in my msn (which I rarely do) and some random guy pops up.
The conversation was in Lebanese but, here ya go, I translated it.

Motorcyclists rule the road !

http://yasa.org/en/print.aspx?id=58


Is it me or Lebanese motorcycle drivers seem to be above the law?
They drive in all directions.
Traffic ain't a problem since they can drive on the other side, or grind your cars.
No problem! They even overtake cars on the right side and you have to be sorry if they do that while you're turning right and they hit you and fall off their motorcycle.




While searching for a pic to add to this post, I stumbled upon this Yasa article HERE
It's interesting, you might want to check it.

You're holding it wrong !

You know these moments?when you think there's nothing more to them and then a new way emerges?
Well I do!
It's like when you're eating cake, and then you discover brownies!
Or when you send letters with pigeons, and then you discover "email" (or a computer 0.o )
Or when you spend half your life in traffic jam,and then you discover Europe ( you have to be Lebanese for this example)


Really, it's when you find new and better ways that you realize that what you are doing can be done better,  at least by one notch.
I decided to never stop questioning.
Try it! Knowledge is a strong tool.
It's blissful, well at least to me (noteToSelf --> you're kinda sick)

-You're holding it wrong!
said my drawing teacher at university.
He was talking about the pencil.

Marinas Turbo ... Brainwashing much?

I guess most of you have heard this ad on the Radio.
if not,click here
"Shaklak mwalla3 fiya w bet dalak te7ki fiya" and there's a new English version of this really annoying mantra!

I mean this song just sticks in your brain and won't come out, it's like an infection, an endless agonizing loop! [/drama]

Anyway, In my opinion the marketers want these words to be engraved in your minds. They want us to love and adore this product (I personally haven't tried it yet, so I can't judge this "Austrian" energy drink)


If that was the real purpose of this looping tune, I believe the *people who made this ad* failed.Well they made the song stick (obviously by repeating it) but didn't really make us compelled to buy the product. The reason is "YOU".

Yes , All they had to do is replace the " You're obsessed with it" with " I'm obsessed with it".
In this way, the listener who will be focusing on driving the car will
confuse this with a thought of his own and will go and buy the drink and
probably love it. (brainwashing 101? anyone?)

McDonald chose "I'm lovin' it" for a reason.

Just my "after midnight" 2 cents.


About Me

My photo
I'll refer to myself as leBi(french for "The Bisexual"). I don't really like to coin terms for sexuality but for the sake of narrowing things down, let's say that I'm a bisexual guy and I'm Lebanese (proud or not proud isn't really the issue here) You'll discover me throughout this blog since I'll be talking about some of my experiences as a bisexual person -especially the gay side(well it's mostly gonna be a social critique and rantings) :)
