Beatboxing

So I just recently discovered Beatboxing... It's amazing what people can do with their mouths alone.. If you're really interested in learning this art I suggest HumanBeatBox.. They've got great tutorials... If you're a beatboxer and live in Saudi lemme know..

Also, I came across MC Hammer's blog which prompted me to go and actually read about Tupac and B.I.G.

Quite Interesting... I read MC Hammer's blog coz I used to watch HammerMan as a kid... Liked those cartoons..

Updates

Okay, so the Communications exhibition was sorta crap...

The weekend was amazing... Went to Dammam Corniche... Took no pics unfortunately, but had a good time in the lovely weather over there...

Amazingly enough when I came back to Riyadh, the temperature dropped 10 degrees C... I was amazed to say the least...

And just when you think you've seen everything in this world... I found out about the Toilet Restaurant thanks to Saher Zainab...

Gaming...

For those of you who are online most of the time and have nothing else to do.. You might want to check out KingTuner... And if you are really out of it then you can join my club over there... Essentially what you need to do is buy a car and then race other people to earn money then buy some parts to upgrade your car and then race some more... and it goes on...

Other online games are also there... such as Kings of Chaos... and Fall of Empires...

Talking about online games.. You've probably heard of Gaymers... How icky can this world get?

A quickie...

I've been meaning to blog, but I always seem to forget the topic I wanted to blog about..

Anyway, so there's this Communications Exhibition that I really want to go for some equipment I'm looking for.. I hope to find it there...

There seems to be a problem with the server again... Ima go look into it...

Personality Test

So I heard about the Myers-Briggs test.

I really want to take it. I hear it changes people's lives... I want in for a free makeover.. except that it isn't free...

Try taking this. It's an adapted form of the above. Not accurate at all but still... I am an INTJ:
  • distinctively expressed introvert
  • moderately expressed intuitive personality
  • slightly expressed thinking personality
  • slightly expressed judging personality

Or in more proper terms:

Not bad I guess.. I just need to think more... be less of an introvert and I need to know my strengths and weaknesses...


Introverted - 67
Intuitive - 38
Thinking - 12
Judging - 1

Sic Vis Pacem Para Bellum

"If you want peace, prepare for war"

This is so true... I remember we had a debate on Peace without war or something of the like @ college... Never took part in it.. not much of a debater myself.. but it was useless... Barely anybody had done their research... Didn't put up many arguments either... The Rebuttal was non-sensical.. and in the end we had to just laugh our heads off because noone knew what was going on...

But it is true... If you open a history book, you will find nothing but wars... ranging from basic civil wars to world wars... But why do we have wars?

To keep peace... People tend to group together.. That is how God made us.. in Groups... And we tend to have differences... but we were not created to fight each other... we were created to get to know each other... and develop a deeper understanding of Earth and why we live on it...

But that is not how human nature wants it to be... Humans are envious.. They are spiteful.. and it takes a lot to change this behaviour...

Knockoff Heaven

I went to a place yesterday where they sell Knockoffs... and I was amazed...

You see the same quality stuff you would in a normal store the only problem is they have a slight error... Like this one shirt, Old Navy I think it was... Fantastic material and everything... the only problem was on the size they wrote F rather than an M... I thought it was hilarious...

So yea had a nice shopping spree... Don't really like shopping but a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do...

Boycott

Yea so the Muslims are put on the defensive by publishing cartoons against their Prophet... and so the Muslims have taken it upon themselves to boycott Danish products... Too bad I used to like (actually more like addicted to) Danish Butter Cookies...

So here's my depiction of the Muslims in the current world.

Hope you like it...

Business

So I've got an idea of starting a business... Well who hasn't thought about doing their own business... But yea, the idea of waking up whenever you want seems to interest me nowadays more than ever... For some reason the past few days I've been coming to work late, its just that my eyes won't open...

So yea, back to the business idea, I see there's sort of a gap in the community over here and I think I can fill it up... Should be interesting...

I'll probably be around quitting my current job... But let's see what happens... It takes two weeks to get an approval on the business plan by SAGIA and they decide whether they'd like you to continue or whether your plan is BS... I had heard that you have to have around half a million Riyals to start your own thing, but then I contacted them today (from my current office - does that make me a hypocrite?) and the guy said that there is no such limit and I should just put in the application and see what happens... So I'll fill in the application and see what happens...

Hopefully things will work out... (as they say, InshaAllah)...
