UFC 127. “Review”

First, Oh come on Mike Goldberg what`s happening with that little beard ;D well even though i dont like it but a change is good, keep it up mister…

Lets get down to the FIGHTS shall we!! the fights card is UNBELIEVABLE! and if you watch the countdown for the UFC127 you`ll be hyped a little bit more about it…

Aussie Aussie Aussie….
The first fight i would call it a Kickboxing fight, damn they exchange some high good kicks and some punches and suddenly it ended up to the ground with a full mount and a submission with a body triangle by Kyle Nock ! Amazing, amazing finish. Fast and clean as Joe Rogan said.

Chris Lytle Vs Brian Ebersole
At first i thought Brian is a clown in a circus for the weird moves he done, but i`ll give him that he is good in taking people down and he got a nice knee kicks, Chris is a puncher and so damn good with combos, but i`m so sad that not one of his punches landed perfectly. sadly it ended up with the judges decision. They both fight so well, but the “Clown” win after all :D

George Sotiropoulos Vs Dennis Siver
What a freaking first round!! Siver got a strong, powerful long right leg, if that high kick landed well i swear to got George may never play again cause it was aimed to the face. He landed his kicks earlier to other players to their ribs and he broke them! and imagine this to the damn face! And he also managed to rock him twice with a punch, but George is one tough Aussie and hard to get rid of him. even though, Siver punches remind me a little bit of Chuck liddle, he got a massive hands.
In general the fight is amazing and that German “Siver” got an amazing turning side kicks, and this fight also ended to the judges decision “i hate the judges by the way” and of course Siver won and what a well deserved win.

Michael Bisping Vs Jorge Rivera
Before the fight started they been talking S**T about each other. I just love it when fighters talks like that before the fight so we can see who is the “Dawg” after the fight, and who live up to his promise and really f****d up the other!
Ok I love bisping cause he sometimes break the rules but this time its “kinda’ justifiable! the fight is totally for Bisping, he owned Jorge like a toy, with no fight back at all! The win is well deserved for Bisping that awesome Brit :D

BJ Penn Vs Jon Fitch
I believe that Jon Fitch should win! he OWNED the third round and did good on the second! but the fight ended up to a majority draw! what a bummer, BJ Penn is not BJ i know. Honestly he should lose that title cause his performance in this fight is not that good at all, he always dominate his opponent but in this fight his cardio is not that good and he got tired so quickly! Interesting! Thats why i hate the man in the suits, i mean the judges.

The event was amazing, i really like this kind of fight that stand up and mixed them self in a punching / kicking fight! if they told me to categorize this event, it will be definitely under the KickBoxing category.

Kuwait and Celebration, Celebration, Celebration.

Hello people, its celebration days in Kuwait these days ( 25 & 26 Feb ). This year its different cause we are celebrating the 20th anniversary of liberation and the 50th anniversary of independence from Britain AND its the 5th anniversary for our Emir ‘Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah’ for governing Kuwait.

So as you see its a different and a little bit of irony as well :p this year is going to be great for Kuwait, our Emir have a new vision to our country promising us for a new era of prosperity and a great Kuwait in the near future. And me personaly i wish that as well. We need Kuwait to be a civilized country with more open minded people that only want what its good for the country not for there best interest. I raised my hand praying to God to keep Kuwait and the Arabic Gulf safe and sound from the greedy bastards around the worlds. “Ameen”

My beloved country, may God bless you for ever and ever and i wish from the bottom of my heart that you always be safe and sound from the greedy people who want to do you harm. And God knows i`ll do everything in my hand, mind and heart to keep you safe and sound no matter what. And Kuwait, you are a crown on my head.

Apple announces App Store subscriptions! “A Cloudy Thought”

They say its all about the Apps, nothing for the music in their “press release” they say its just for the videos, newspaper, magazines…etc. But i`m pretty sure it will follow the music store as well, and i will hate this for sure.

I join iTunes store so they can give me the ability to choose my music the way i want with a method i find its the best, and its to pay for what you buy. and THAT`S IT! but now you`ll force me to pay you “lets say” 9.99$ a month with a full access to the whole store! i dont like this even when i`m a music addict i find it repulsive. i want the freedom to buy a song a month! its worth 1.29$ why should i pay you 9.99$ instead!! at the beginning i`m hating their judgment for this matter, BUT i`ll wait to see what they are gonna do in the end!

I just hate to be forced to do anything, and my biggest fear is this matter will be only to the United state people, then i`ll be doomed for sure… all i can say is, lets wait and see!

FINALLY!! A personal shopper with an American Credit Card!!

Don`t you hate when you need something so bad and when you find it and want to buy it the seller request an American credit card attached to American address?! that happened to me a lot and still happens.
Couple a days ago i wanted to buy a T-Shirt exclusively at some website and i WANTED it so badly, but the site requested an American credit card! and that really really pissed me off. So after digging, searching and asking around i find a way to order it, and dear God whats a great way!!

The way is simple, brilliant and easy… A personal shopper with an American credit card and THAT`S IT! and it can`t get any better than that!

How does it works:
* Before i start to put the steps i should mention that this method is a service from MyUS.com.

- When you sign up with them they also give you an American address for your future purchases that will be directly send to you from them via DHL for a fee. I didnt received any thing from them yet, but once i have something from them i`ll post about it and how much it cost and what matter to me the most is “service quality”.
* Compare between the services and choose what suite you the most. All the services have the “personal shopper option” COMPARE

- After you sign up and you got access to the account, then you are ready for the next step, the personal shopper…

1- Go to “MY ACCOUNT”
2- Click on “Personal Shopper” and this what will be shown to u (fig. 1)

(fig. 1)

3- Next step it depends on WHERE do you want to buy you stuff! i think the picture say it all about the deference between ( Online Store & Auction Site ). With my presentation i`ll go with Online Store.
4- Filling the form with the info about what you wanna order, its the most important step so please be careful about it! (fig. 2)

(fig. 2)

5- What i`m going to do is that i`m going to fill the form with this item i wanna purchase from “UFC Store”. A regular T-shire for example ( this is the item site that i wanna buy HERE ). What i`m gonna do is to fill the form in MyUS with the detail shown in the T-shirt`s page. the result is like the following (fig. 3)

(fig. 3)

6- After that click “Add to shopping cart” and you`ll find it in you cart automatically. Follow the other step they give you and you are set to go! Congrats.

- They will charge you a 6% of you total purchase and a minimum of ( 10$ ) the price is worth the service in my opinion.

As simple as that… and big thanks for my friend Yousef for referring me to this site :~)

Only time… “A Cloudy Thought”

I say i need time, so i get more time… i say i need extra more time, so i get it as well. BUT what happen if the time you want is actually mean waiting?! waiting for the right time?! waiting for the right moment, waiting for the right thing to happen even if you are not prepare for it, even if you not in the mood for it, its just happened! for the past days all i had to do is waiting, and waiting and waiting! and guess what it works like a charm… PATIENCE play a big part here and i got a lot of it.

So all i have to do for the next days/weeks is to wait for something wonderful to happened with a little bit of an effort from my side, and who knows what will happen next. for me everything worked like a charm and i`m thankful for that, and people if you just had the ability to be patient, i can assure you you`ll be fine just keep the faith and always pray for God to show you the right way for you.
After that been said, read this lyrics…

Who can say
where the road goes
where the day flows
only time

And who can say
if your love grows
as your heart chose
only time

Who can say
why your heart sighs
as your love flies
only time

And who can say
why your heart cries
when your love lies
only time

Who can say
when the roads meet
that love might be
in your heart

And who can say
when the day sleeps
if the night keeps
all your heart

Night keeps all your heart

Who can say
if your love grows
as your heart chose
only time

And who can say
where the road goes
where the day flows
only time

Who knows – only time
Who knows – only time

* Enya – Only Time

Even if you are in the middle of a surgery, STOP and give this a listen!

B. B. King & Eric Clapton – The Thrill Is Gone

* I really loved the last 2 minutes of that clip with them exchange the note like that, EPIC.

- Second clip is for the Eric as well, for some reason i like him when he is young way much better! With this clip he is playing around with the guitar and smoothly go to the song, i love when he do that.

* One of the comments on that videos is “I have been told this song is better than actually doing cocaine.” I had to agree!

hird clips reserved for Guns `N Roses, since i attend their concert in Abu Dhabi last December i really fall in love with them more and more. They have one of the best live performances ever that night! they just a symbol for ROCK N ROLL…
Guns N Roses – Paradise City \”1991\”

Mr Nobody. “Movie Review”

After watching the movie, i hated my self for not watching it earlier cause i knew about that movie for almost a year and yet i didn’t watch it till NOW!

The movie from the start is so f**ked up, that`s why i leaned toward the movie and sit to watch it with a thrill and anticipation in my mind, cause i loved that kind of movies that let you feel like a fool and at the end slap you REAL hard with a unique and fascinating ending that really really make sense and not only that but also show you something, a lesson in life about “xxxxx” i`ll let you guess it when you saw the movie.

I love every single moment in that movie, the script, the actors, the twist, the songs, the swing in the times and the directing as well! i highly recommend you to watch the movie and please don`t read the rest of the post if you intend to…

SPOILER!!!

What can i say! literally this movie is a masterpiece! moved us from time to time, show us three choices and connected them in a perfect and amazing way, all the time while watching the movie i was saying there must be something good at the end to explain what happened… And guess what turning out that its all about a 9 years old kid knowing the future and yet he cant take a simple choice to live with his dad or mom!! yet he didn`t choice either way and decided to run away.

I loved the movie and every single part of it, one of the best movies i`ll ever seen in a while, and i can bet on that!! And i`m sure if i watch the movie for the second time i`ll see more clues for verifying that this actually a 9years old boy who is talking from the start!
I give it 9.8/10. not a perfect score so no one will say i`m taking side for the movie!! :D

Lesson learned:
- This movie show/tells me that no matter what the choices i`m gonna make, there`s the good, the bad and the ugly in every step. So i need to choice the things that my heart or my mind is convenient to them and roll with them, and no matter what happen along the way it will be a life lesson for sure.

The Social Network. “Movie Review”

The only good thing in that movie is Jesse acting. PERIOD! And i may add that the resemblance between the real “Mark Zuckerberg” and the actor who played him “Jesse Eisenberg” is the second best thing in that movie as well, the movie should be a documentary not a Hollywood blockbuster!! All that fuss about it its just because it talks about (Facebook) and if i really wanted to know about facebook there`s wikipedia for that.

I don`t want to be harsh on the movie but really they gave him a lot more than what it deserve. And by the way, HELL YEAH he stole the idea from these guys… he said he didn`t use any code they gave him but shut up! the idea here is whats matter, so the facebook is just a stolen idea after all!! (In my point of view )

There is one thing i like about the movie, and that is the knowledge of programming that Mark had! its amazing and incredible. and who knows that tens of thousand of coding lines 7 years ago worth now 25billions Dollars!!

My Rating 5/10

I witnessed a police car chase… and It was AWESOME.

First of all I wasn’t a part of that chase in any kind, I’m just a spectator with a very very good “seat” to watch that chase.

What actually happened…
I was driving my car like a normal person does, and I didn’t know or have any freaking clue about what’s gonna happened in the next 5 min… I was driving behind an old red Suzuki SUV listening to music and paying attention to the road, suddenly a police car cuts me and stayed in front of me “I thought he wanted me to pull over” so I hit the break badly and waiting for him to stop as well but I was wrong… They actually wanted that red Suzuki not me! “I was relieved”.

So he stayed after that car for approximately 15 sec and the driver didn’t reply at all… So a white old caprice came from the right side, cut the driver car but he manage to maneuver!! “I was jumping from the thrill” so he passed him and he chased him and hit his rare bumper so bad that he tremble a lil bit.. And yet the bastard manage to scape the police car and the white “undercover cop” car… Out of no freaking where another black ford car jumped to the chase and cuts the lane while the police car cut the other lane and the white car stay on his right side and stop him for GOOD!

My position view was amazing and I saw the whole chase with a smile on my face, BUT I was so angry about the guys who was in the cars! The cops! When they go down to capture the suspect they go unarmed and with no cover what so freaking ever!!!! What if he was holding a gun or something!!? But thank God he didn’t and they capture him with out fighting or resisting! the chase happened near the free zone, Wednesday 2/2/2011 at 4:25pm.

A big salute and respect to all my brothers in arms who literally risk their life to keep us safe… My deepest and sincere thanks to you Cops!
