Transmutation of The Soul

1 Month smoke free

1 Month smoke free

Well I’ve been off sheesha for a month now! It’s the longest I’ve ever gone without smoking anything. Normally if I’m not smoking sheesha I’ll be smoking cigarettes or cigars to take the edge off.

But all that changed at the end of last year, I’ve been trying to quit for some time and haven’t been doing a good job at it. But I think the major thing that helped me quit and is keeping me off sheesha is my daughter. I want to see her grow up, see her succeed and live her life, I want to be there for her in every moment, I hope God will allow me to see it all.

So here I am 1 month as a non smoker, I can’t say it isn’t hard! I crave smoking at times, sometimes more than others! Particularly when I’ve had a rough day, but to be honest I have noticed that I don’t feel so tired all the time! Let’s hope I can stay off that poison for good.

To all those out there wanting to quit I wish you luck! And to all those that are still smoking I just hope you get the desire to quit.

Later

Re-Birth

Wow it's been more than three years since I've posted here!

looking at my old posts and seeing who I was back then is weird, anyway to update whom ever might be strolling by here, I am now married and have a beautiful little girl.

It's strange how things work out. By the way feel free to go back and look at the weirdness that was me a few years ago.

I've become somewhat of a tech freak, and am in the process of launching a tech blog, and while I was working on the design i realized that at some point I would want to post things that were not related to gadgets and technology. I have decided to rebuild this site and use it for that purpose.

Enjoy.

Hey yall I’m posting cause:
1-I actually found time to post something
2-I can’t find anyone around me at the moment that’s intelligent enough to listen to what I have to say

Eternal Memory

I want to talk about something I read in one of my various books, it has to do with our genes.

In researching the human genome, scientists discovered that there is a specific gene that can carry genetic memory forever. This gene is passed through the mother, meaning that it carries to her children and forward.

Now I will explain why I found this so interesting, it has to do with a few theories I have (note: these are Theories people so don’t freak out on me)

Theory one: Theory of (there are no original ideas)

When reading the qura’an, specifically soorat albaqara in the section dealing with the creation of Adam (PBUH), it is stated (and god taught Adam the names of all things), consequently this means that he was shown the names of everything that is and was ever meant to be as well as the uses and functions.

Now this means Adam (PBUH) would have seen Cars, Airplanes, Trains..etc. so with the existence of a gene that can carry all memories, it is highly likely that we carry all (or some sort of derivative) of the visions that were shown to Adam (PBUH) by God. Therefore, no achievement man has ever done, was done on his own merit, rather it was a memory of the things Adam was shown. So I guess what are called innovative ideas should be called remembered ideas from now on.

Theory two: Theory of (different races)

Following on the story of the creation of Adam (PBUH), a lot of the stories on Adams (PBUH) creation state that when God molded the clay to create Adam (PBUH) he used black, yellow, & white clay. Genetically speaking if the father of humanity was made of different color clay (meaning his skin tone contained all the pigments) and Eve was made of him. It is reasonably sound that they would have the potential to produce different colored offspring.

Well that’s just what I’ve been thinking about over the weekend, what do you think?

Exploring The Continued Retardation in Kuwait

This is something that pissed me off the other day so I had to post it
Is it just me or are the people doing the road work in Kuwait getting dumber as time goes by.
Thursday night I left the guys at around 3 am and headed home (I live in mishref)
As I went over the bridge where the gas station is on fahaheel and coming down the other side I saw that the entrance to mishref (the one with the globe) was closed for road work. So I figured no big deal I’ll just loop around and enter from 6^th ring road.
As I kept driving I saw that that exit was closed too! WTF come on people I want to get home. How stupid or inconsiderate do you have to be to close every entrance to an area on one road!
Needless to say I was not happy, I had to go through a longer drive just to get home!

2007-07-06T01:42:00.000+03:00

Lost in Translation

Well I have to say that I’m staring to get fed-up with this whole belonging thing. I mean your either Kuwaiti or your not, your Muslim or not, your sunni or shi’it, your 7a’6ar or Bedouin, your liberal or religious.

These are just arbitrary names that people created so that they can belong to a group! Why is it so important for everyone to be like everyone else?
So where does that leave someone like me?
For me as a result of having it so hard growing up being wi’ld il amreekiya (the son of the American) It became second nature for me not to fit in.
I know a lot of you other half breeds might think “what it wasn’t so bad”, well I’m happy you had a better time then I did!
But the fact of the matter is that I don’t care for the opinions of others any more.

So here’s me:

I’m Kuwaiti (yes and no)
I’m American (yes and no)
What does nationality mean anyway? It’s just a piece of paper showing where you were born; it doesn’t define who you are!
I’m so tired of everyone saying that your too Kuwaiti or too American
I have spent my life trying to figure out what the best person to be is and one thing's for sure, it's not being one or the other.
I am what I am. I do what I think is right, Kuwaiti or American has nothing to do with it!

On Religion
I’m very religious, but I listen to Heavy metal, I go to rock clubs, concerts, and nightclubs.
See the contradiction here!? And people tell me to pick a side!
Religion in any case is a personal thing between you and god how you practice it is also between you and god. So people please stop this nonsense if butting into other peoples faith and the way they pray!

To be continued!

When we return to (lost in translation) we will explore the religion bit more I believe it’s long over due!

Half a year gone

Well folks it's June we've gotten through half the year

I have an announcement, I wasn't very happy with the job I had gotten in March (I mean yes the people are nice) but they never gave me any work!

So I got an offer from another place (a bank) and well I took it. Even though I've been staying away from banks for 3 years!

I don't know whether or not this is the job I'm looking for but I have to admit for the first time in a long time I am excited!

Also I have to say that I've been looking back at how I've developed in terms of who I am as a person. Probably my biggest problem was my hurry to find love, I was in such a hurry that I was accepting things that weren't good for me (in a sense I was desperate). Then came that point when I realized this was in a sense a self-destructive habit, so I decided to find the root cause of my problem. When I looked deep into my soul I found the reason I was always in such a hurry to find love was because I had a lot of love to give, but I thought that the only way to do that was with a girl friend or a wife.
Well I realized that that wouldn't do, so I set out to find a new definition of love, one that didn't require me to have a gf or a wife to let out all these emotions, this is my new definition of love "love is the conscious decision to expand ones self for the spiritual growth of another"
With this new definition I can give my love to anyone my family, friends or anyone I chose.
That's not to say my life is all flowers and hearts :p but to those around me that I chose to be I am extra good to them.

Well I just thought I'd check in and let yall know what's going on in my life, I hope all is well with yall!

Till next time!

Why are people so retarded?

Ok people seriously now!
This might seem like deja vu to some but it's not! I'm posting this as it's happening!
I come to the gahwa to hang out with the guys talk and have a good time,
And WTF do I get? I get a bunch of guys sitting and chatting on their fucking laptops!
There's this new thing called IMVU chat and the bastereds are hooked on it like crack.
Why the fuck do these pricks have to create a 3D room so they can talk when their fucking sitting next to each other.

OH MY GOD everyone is becoming fucking retarded!

It's times like this that I understand why some people go crazy!

Here have a look

I think it's time to start looking for new friends!

Fashion in Marina Mall

Note: if your easily offended by bad language then don't read this!

OK people this is a rant!

Has anyone been to Marina Mall lately?
I'm not talking about when it just opens at 10 or 11 am, I'm talking about like after 6pm.
I mean have you seen the fashion that these people are sporting now!?!?!?

I mean What The Fuck?

We have guys walking around with wife-beaters on (these are the sleeveless undershirts guys are supposed to wear under their cloths) with gold chains dangling around their necks. Who the fuck do they think they are? When I see them, I think I'm in Texas and I'm looking at a bunch of wetbacks (Mexicans) that just crossed the border. I also get this strange craving for fajitas!

That's not to say that the black Kuwaitis among us are doing any better! These ass holes think it cool to dress up like the gangstas' and rappers from the States that they see on TV, and the fuckers don't know that any self respecting black man in the States would call them Niggers if they saw them dressed like that! Your stupid and ignorant and I hope you die in a drive by shooting!

And don't get me started on the hair styles! Come on people, why the fuck do you have to walk around with a god dam sky scrapper on your fucking heads? Trust me you don't look any smarter the higher you get your hair to stand and no you bastereds it's not macho, no one is going to be scared of you if you have big fucking hair! Or is everyone going to the same barber?

Oh and let's not forget the girls!!!

Girls listen to me when you put on make-up, use it just to highlight your features. Your face is not a canvas and your defiantly not Picasso! Why the hell are you not comfortable unless you use the same amount make-up required for me to paint my car with. Dam it you girls use so much make-up that even hookers would look at you and go "Oh my god that's too much!"

Oh and girls I know that yall are supposed to be better than us in color coordination, but it appears to me that some of you don't really have the knack for it. I'm talking about these girls that wear something that has more colors than I can identify with my eyes {on a single fucking garment}. Why the hell would anyone buy a pair of pants that have more than 10 colors on it? Are you trying to make people look at you? Cause if you are, then I'm going to sue your asses when I go color blind!

Oh and I have to comment about this as well, people I have nothing against tight jeans and skin tight shirts. I'm half American so I've seen more provocative things.
My problem is with girls that wear a hijab and wear those things! Am I missing something here? Aren’t girls that wear hijabs supposed to be modest and conservative? So why the fuck are they wearing a hijab if they want to wear that type of clothing? It doesn't make any sense! unless your trying to tell everyone that "yes you wear a hijab but your really a slut!"

Honestly people, what the fuck is going on, are you trying to compensate for your stupidity with outrageous fashions? Well stop it cause it's not working you morons!

End Rant!

Wisdom, Knowledge, & Experience

Ok so this is a extension of the previous topic

So I've had you present your theories on wisdom, knowledge, & experience
Now it's my turn to share what I see on these points!

First let me give you my definition of wisdom, wisdom in its purest state "is the cultivation of knowledge through experience leading to discerning truth and exercising good judgment"

Now based on this definition I believe that knowledge and experience are two sides of the same coin. And both must be gained if one is to acquire true wisdom.

However, I also find that experience in it self (the type our elders have) is not necessarily complete. This is because in itself, experience is situation sensitive, meaning that the situations you learn from will only be true given the same variables. If you were to think of it as a math equation for example, say that our elders had an experience in which (X = T+N+I), and say now that we in our day and age we have an event with the present variables (T+N+R=?) our elders automatically jump to say that the answer is (X), but the problem with that is with one variable changing the possible out comes to the equation changes, and the more the variables change the more the answer is bound to change.

Now don't get me wrong I don't wish to be little anyone's experiences, but the fact of the matter is most people lack sufficient knowledge to be able to see how their experience might be adapted to new situations.

Which brings me to the 2^nd part of this post, knowledge:

And yes I do mean the kind from books, but what I don't mean are these new self help books, most of those are just full of crap produced by people that know how to write to make a buck!

I'm talking about the writings that have substance, like the old books on philosophy, physiology and the wisdom of the east, even our religions! Which are, most likely the best source of wisdom there is, specifically the Qur'an. Say you want to know what true kindness and self-sacrifice is you can look to the Dali Lamas' teachings and Buddhism, or if you want to know what it is to search for knowledge you can look to Plato. all these books contain part of the truths we need to live a good life.

Furthermore, these books give us the wisdom of the great thinkers that came before us, and allow us to make sense of our experiences, even making our experiences more profound!

So you see, it's my belief that true wisdom can only be achieved by first arming yourself with the proper knowledge, than allowing time to be your guide so that your knowledge can be turned into wisdom!

Physical Age, Soul Age

People tend to ask "How old are you?", and by this they mean how many years have you been on this planet. Of course the result of which ends up being them making a judgment on how mature you are!

I want to talk about the age of the soul, and what I mean by this is how old you have become irrespective of how long you've been alive.

Truth be told if we were to compare a person who has had a normal long-life with a person who has an extraordinary but short-life we would see that it is highly possible that the person who hasn't been around that long would be relatively more mature.

This is because that there are many ways for a person to grow, one of them being time I give you that, but if a young person at an early age arms himself with knowledge then the time span required for him/her to mature becomes shorter.

Unfortunately I realized that this topic carries into a deeper topic, so I want you to consider this as just the opening for my next post (wisdom, knowledge, & experience)

Though I do pose these questions for you to contemplate:

1- How do you define maturity?
2- Do you think it possible to know more than your parents?
3- Do you think it possible for some one younger than you to know more than you?
4- Girls (would you marry a guy younger than you?)
5- Guys (would you marry a girl older than you?)
6- Which is better knowledge or experience?

2007-04-11T16:28:00.000+03:00

Good & Evil

"We are concerned with the most important of issues, the choice between a good & an evil life" Plato's The Republic

There are those among us who believe that being evil is:

- The only way to succeed

-The only way to get the girl

-The only way to be a man...etc.

And with evil I don't just mean steeling or killing, even the little things, being inconsiderate to others, ignoring others , talking down to people…etc.
All this so we can get what we want.
But what good is it to use evil to achieve out earthly goals yet loose our souls?

I am currently a follower of the old teachings, those of the prophets & philosophers, those that preach justice, kindness, compassion ….etc.

And to those who see being good as a weakness, you should know that it is 1000 times harder to be good than it is to be evil.

To be giving in a world that cries "Me first"
To do no harm when others carry a dagger against their brothers.

Listen to my words carefully, good & evil exists in every person in equal proportions. Someone of great good carries in him the potential for great evil. Therefore, Don't torment the good, nice or caring and cherish them for their shadow may shake the earth.

There are those that know me, they think of me as the nice guy. But I am the nice guy because I have sinned & walk the dark path. I know what my evil does to others and myself, therefore I repented & have been walking the path of the good ever since (hard as it may be), Hoping never again to have to show my evil side again.

For only in good can we as humans rise to greater heights.

On a more personal note:
I am betrayed by my goodness & friendliness, especially when it comes to finding a life partner. Because of my friendliness I find my self not knowing whether a woman wants to be friends or there is potential. This is what torments me the most! And I don't know how to solve this problem. My only hope is for either the woman to be really obvious (and I don't think that will ever happen :p ) or that fate intervenes and every thing falls into place.

Well that's all for now,

Note: if anyone has any questions they want to ask about anything written here please don't hesitate!

The New Job

Hey yall I know it's been a while since my last post.
I've been a bit busy lately, and a bit of wirters block to be honest :p
So to fill you in on what going on at my new job.

The people are great their, it's not bad at all.

But as you already know no job is complete with out it's fair share of bad things so here goes.

#1 – My desk if you can call it that is basically just a high coffee table, if not smaller. When you have A monitor, keyboard, telephone and some papers on my desk I don't have room to work anymore!

And what's more I can't even move my God dam chair under my coffee table/desk cause the stupid electricity and LAN port are sticking out right where my chair should go!

#2 – My desk is in a room that look like it was modeled after a solitary confinement cell in a prison.

#3 – and there must be some kind of rule that while in that room no one is supposed to talk with each other, cause it's so God dam quit in there that I can hear my own heart beating (note: the only reason I only hear my own heart beat is that I think that my co-workers in that room have taken some sort of class that taught them to stop their hearts on command!)

#4 – and finally but most importantly, after a month of being there I am still a God dam paper weight! There is absolutely nothing to do yet. I'm going crazy with boredom! Just today a friend at work was say "why are you talking to your self?"
My only response "I'm bored!"

But I have to say the people are nice! So for now I'm happy!
Till next time guys & galls

2007-02-27T15:53:00.000+03:00

New direction

Well it's finally happened I've found a job, I can just pray that it's better than the last one I had!

In this time I've been out of work I have spent a lot of it exploring my self. Who I was, what is my essence and all that. I have found a base of something new someone in me that I never new before, it's like part of who I really am is being brought to light. I don't know how to explain it, but that's what I feel.

I know this might sound crazy for some but I think the reason I was so down lately was because a part of me was dying, a part whose time had passed and was no longer needed to me but I was refusing to let it go, this was most likely the reason I was feeling so bad but as time went on I slowly started to let go. And just as I was at my worst deep in my thoughts, something began to stir in me something different, it was then that I realized that a new point in my life had begun.

Now is the time to walk life better then the day before (at least until the new person is challenged again) at which point I'm sure something even better will shine though.

When I look back at this last year all I can say is thank you God for sending me this sorrow this depression for with out it I would have never grown to where I am now, and forgive me when in the future you give me another opportunity to grow and I complain about it.

2007-02-07T20:28:00.000+03:00

The Events

With all the things that have been happening to me over the past few months I had started to feel a bit down lately. Not depression just a bit down.

It's like a whirlwind in my head with all the questions and problems spinning around in there.
Plus I have some free time (ok a lot of free time) which not really good when you're feeling down, so I've been keeping busy.

I'm doing things that I didn't used to do (e.g. running errands) not just for my self but for my family, hell before you couldn't get me to do my own!

Honestly I think that God is preparing me for something, most likely the next stage of growth in my life, even with all this I have this feeling like I'm being thought something like there is a lesson here. I haven't figured it out yet but I'm sure that that's the case.

Here's how I see it:

All events that will occur in our lives have already been set, from birth until death. While on the other hand we have the freedom too chose how we deal with, relate to or even achieve those events.

Now what I imply here may seem absurd to some, but think about it, how much control do you really have over your own future? Even if you had total freedom of choice there is no grantee that you can get everything you hope for!

So as for these events, these are our "check points" so to speak, they are what is required of us to pass if we are to move along the path of life. Also they prepare us for what's to come.

So I'm starting to think of everything I'm going threw as a test right now, which god willing I will pass with flying colors.

Till next time bloggers!

2007-01-31T11:18:00.000+03:00

I'm Tiered of ignorance

I'm sick of this people, acting like they know everything but they're knowledge comes not from they're learning but from what other people have said.
These people piss me off, they take what a few people have said and they make it absolute truth, and they never care or bother to actually do their homework on the subject.
why can't people use their brains for once! Instead they wait their time on stupid things then when it comes to the really important issues they behave like sheep.

sorry about this i just had to let it out

Symphonic Metal

If Disturbed is my all time favorite band, then my all time favorite genre is Symphonic Metal.

Symphonic Metal is a term used to describe metal music that has symphonic elements; that is, elements that sound similar to a classical symphony. Symphonic metal is both a genre of metal and a name given to several subgenres of other metal genres, and as such, both forms of usage have slightly varying definitions. The genre refers to bands that combine aspects of varying metal genres, with signature female-led vocals and operatic/classical themes to give the music a feeling of being a symphony.

This is with out a doubt the most thrilling musical experience I’ve ever had. When I listen to these bands, they achieve a harmony which u don’t find anywhere else. The music, the vocals, the words it’s amazing.

It may be strange but hell I like it you might to!

Here are some of my favorite bands (in alphabetical order)

After Forever
Epica
Lacuna Coil
Nemesea
Nightwish
Within Temptation

And her if you have the time are some selected videos:

Epica – Quietus

Lacuna Coil – Our Truth (hope u can here it :p)

Nightwish – Nemo

Within Temptation – Angels

enjoy yall !

A time of Reflection

With some time on my hands, and my mind not so tied up in all that work crap. I have found my self reflecting on 2006. and the many hardships that I had faced.

To name a few:

Losing two very good friends

A failed relationship

A near falling apart of my family

Unsuccessful job

But if I had to gage my self as a person from per-2006 and post-2006, I know for a fact that I have matured a lot in that one year. Honestly I feel old!

I guess that’s what hardships are for, they come to us to teach us, to make us better people. I finally understand what the Dali Lama meant when he said “love your enemy and embrace your pain”. It is threw these tools that we as humans grow and learn.

So I can’t feel sorry for my self on what has happened, what’s done is done. Nothing I can do, say, or think will ever change what has happened. The pages of my history have been written and sealed, now I have to focus on how to write my future. And with full faith in God I believe that it’s going to be great.

Prayer:

May God bless the souls of the faithful, and bring back to him those that have strayed.
And may it be his will that this year be a year in which our sins or forgiven and our prayers fulfilled. And may he continue his blessings on the faithful to the end of days. Then bring them in to their eternal dwelling in heaven!

A’meen

The Holy Quran and science

Many people now days look to scientist who are mostly no believers in the power of good for the answers to the secrets of the universe. But in reality many of the secrets are found in the Quran, if people are willing to look for them.

Scientists have show that there are eight official planets , at least three "dwarf planets"
If you recall Sourat Yusif
12.4": When Yusuf said to his father: O my father! surely I saw eleven stars and the sun and the moon -- I saw them making obeisance to me.

Now this a’ya can be understood two ways for it’s literal meaning as Yusif had 11 siblings but it could also carry the scientific meaning of there being 11 planets in our solar system.

The Quran as it is has many scientific references in it is a wealth of knowledge, really the big reason I’m so strong in my religion is because I enjoy science and logic so the more I find in the holy book that coincides with the real world the stronger my faith becomes.

If you want to see more of these miracles you can visit

Miracles of the Quran

Enjoy it really is a good site

Side note:

People I have a good feeling this year is going to be a great year for all of us “inshallah”

2006-12-20T21:42:00.000+03:00

TIME

In the dictionary Time carries many meanings, but science could very well say that “time is that which accurate clocks measure”

The reason I decided to go with time as a subject is that lately I have found a few prospects for marriage, but subconsciously I have been avoiding going threw with anything, cause I figured that this year has been a bad year, so I might as well wait for the next and hope that things go better for me next year.

Here’s the real catch, in all the reading I’ve done no matter how many philosophical text or science books, there is no real definition of time!

So the question really presents it self “does time exist?”

Time is relative, for you to experience it you need to see a clock, the sun, the moon, the seasons, something to tell you what time it is.

So what would happen if someone where to have all clocks around him removed, be placed in an artificial habitat where it was always lighted through electricity.

Would that person experience time?

The answer would be, yes! How?

He would see him self ageing.

But then again that is only relative because his cells are moving forward “so to speak” to their maturity.

So then we have to take this a bit further, what if we were to freeze this persons cells so that they wouldn’t move forward at all, would the person experience time then?

The answer should be no, with no way for this person to relate to other objects there would be no time experienced.

So it could be said that time is a human concept. The seconds, minutes, days, along with our years are relative to the turning of our planet and the planets journey around the sun.

So with this in mind I thought to myself “why the hell am I putting my looking on hold for something that has no real basis in the universe?”

By the way if you still question whether time is real or not you can look at the Holy Quran

When God states

“in a day which amounts too 1000 years”

“in a day which amounts too 50,000 years”

I know the translation is rough but you get the idea!

I have decided since time is irrelevant then there is no point in waiting till next year to do anything in my life!

And for that matter why even bother with a new years resolution, it makes no sence I’ve decided to do all my change now.

There’s no better time than the present

:/ no pun intended :p

Me and my music

For each of us, music has its own meaning. For some it sets the mood, for others it represents our mood.
For me music is a release of energy that I have under my skin.

I wish to share with you my all time favorite band

Disturbed:
This band to me speaks to my very soul, their songs and lyrics move me in the strongest possible way!

Their first album The Sickness the album shows a man dealing with his own mental state and his perception on reality.
here is a video of one of my favorite songs of the album

Stupify

Their second album Believe gives the felling that the singer is on some moral crusade to expose hypocrisy in all its forms

Prayer

Their current album Ten Thousand Fists is political orientated, the album is about lashing out at the state of things, at the situations that we've fallen into and the state of the world around us. it's a rallying cry

Land of Confusion

Stricken

now i know that not every one likes this type of musice but i wanted to share it with you guys
plus I'm still working on my next post so stay tuned!

Notice: this post is not based on people I’ve met through blogger!

Formal Apology

Ok people this is a first for me, so bare with me.
There are those of you out there that know me personally and will know what all this is about. But for those of you that don’t know.

I have been looking to get married for sometime now, and have been totally 100% against getting married to a Kuwaiti.

Reasons, well I saw Kuwaiti women as self centered, condescending, princess of the universe, not only that but I was even against the idea of even marrying someone with Kuwaiti blood because they were carrying the same blood.

Well recently a friend of my has been introducing me to some of her friends guys/girls (just for the sake of making new friends mind you not for marriage), and people I have met and known a lot of people in my life, but for the first time in my life I feel like I have been hit up side the head, they were nice, simple, they didn’t discriminate against others as we were usually in mixed nationality groups. Some of them were people who studied outside Kuwait and they were quit different from the other Kuwaitis that I know that studied over seas.

So I wish to say something to everyone who knows me, and to the world!

I Apologies for the things I’ve said about Kuwaiti girls! Those things were based on the people I had met up until now. For all those things I’m sorry I had become what I detest most! Therefore, I intend to work towards changing that side of me.

Friend

The Merriam-webster dictionary defines a friend as one attached to another by affection or esteem.

Honestly in my opinion that isn’t the best definition, hell I’m sure if I put it to the bloggers to give me a definition on what a friend is, there would be as many definitions as there are bloggers!

Who are our real friends, how do we know them?

I give you two examples from my own life!

Person #1: I’ve know this guy for about 10yrs, I’ve always been by his side always supporting him. Even when he got married against the will of his parents I was there for him. When he was short on cash I lent him the money, and I bailed him out of many a tough situations. His wife also has a sickness and every now and then she is in the hospital so when he can go to her to take her things he asked me and I would go. Recently I did something that didn’t effect him directly but indirectly, even so he has annexed me completely refusing to talk to me. Basically we’re not friends anymore.

Person #2: I’ve know him for about 4yrs. We hang out at the (gahwa) along with the other guys we know. Well I’ve been kind in and out of my mood lately so oddly enough, I get a msg from him the other day. In it he said “do you want to get married?” I naturally started laughing thinking it was a joke! So I called and said “what are you sitting at the coffee shop with the laptop picking up girls? Or are you going to bring a hooker in from Russia?”. He said no he was serious! Now people the guys at the coffee shop were the last people I would expect this from. When I sat down with him latter to see what this was about he told me that his wife had knows this girl at work and …..etc. he also said “you know I don’t normally do things like this but my wife ask if I had anyone in mind and I thought of you because your like a brother”.

(Incidentally I turned down the offer)

That got to me. I had been calling person #1 my brother for all these years, and person #2 who I’ve only known for 4yrs was acting like it!

Since all this unfolded I’ve been doing a lot of thinking, what are friends?

These are some of the things I came up with:

1-A friend is a person that makes time for you not one that gives time to you
Because when you give time you have it, when you make time it means you don’t have it but you find it.

2- A friend is a person that will be there for you whether it’s a big thing or a small thing they’re there for you.

3- A friend doesn’t judge you

4- A friend doesn’t allow your mistakes, he/she stands in your face when you try to do something stupid!

5- A friend is a friend, even if you haven’t spoken to them in a day, week or a year. When you meet up your just as if you were always with each other.

By no means is this the end of the list but I’m sure you’ve gotten my point. I don’t know what to say more I’m sure as the years go by I could add more points to the list but for now I’ve got these.

Bloggers feel free to make your own lists and post it with your comment! What do you think a friend is?

Side note:

WORD HISTORY

A friend is a lover, literally. The relationship between Latin amīcus “friend” and amō “I love” is clear, as is the relationship between Greek philos “friend” and phileō “I love.” In English, though, we have to go back a millennium before we see the verb related to friend. At that time, frēond, the Old English word for “friend,” was simply the present participle of the verb frēon, “to love.” The Germanic root behind this verb is *frī–, which meant “to like, love, be friendly to.” Closely linked to these concepts is that of “peace,” and in fact Germanic made a noun from this root, *frithu–, meaning exactly that. Ultimately descended from this noun are the personal names Frederick, “peaceful ruler,” and Siegfried, ”victory peace.” The root also shows up in the name of the Germanic deity Frigg, the goddess of love, who lives on today in the word Friday, “day of Frigg,” from an ancient translation of Latin Veneris diēs, “day of Venus.”

On My Job

If anyone has played call of duty then you know what the game is about. But for those who haven’t, it’s a game where a bunch of players go head to head with various weapons (sniper rifle, machinegun, shotgun… etc.

Well I kind of feel my work is right now.

Let me explain:
This is a list of my opponents on the battle field

The big Manager (AKA The Sniper):

The big manager of my department hates my guts (because she enjoys talking down to people and well I won’t have any of that crap) so she isn’t too happy with me. So she is sitting with her sniper rifle waiting for me to slip up so she can take me out!

Manager 1 (AKA The Artillery General):
This guy is a manager of a department that is not even related to me.

Manager 2 (AKA The Missile General):
This guy is the manager of back office operations again not even part of my job

Manager 1 & 2 are in an argument on a subject which somehow I got involved in. Now they’re bombarding each other and I’m caught in the middle of their god dam power struggle.

Manager 3 (AKA The Spy):
Again this guy is in yet another department, and for some reason he thinks I’m an office boy :-/. And being a spy he has a whole arsenal of machine guns and other weapons to take me out with.

Company Manager (AKA The Commander & Chief, AKA President Bush)
No Comment !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AND what do I have to fight with??

A God dam can of PEPPER SPRAY!!!!!!!!

And this really sucks, I can’t do a thing about how things at work are going! I’ve been patient with all this crap for a few reasons. Namely:

There are still two wonderful managers at our company let’s call them manager’s 4 & 5

Manager 4 (AKA The Strategy General)

This woman I respect a lot, she is smart and very good with the people that work under her. She even helped me out a few times even though I’m not in her department. She even offered to get me out of the hell I’m in. but I recently found out that she has submitted her resignation apparently she couldn’t stand the crap at work either!
I just hope she knows how grateful I am for her help! And if you ever read this thanks Manager A.AL-T

Manager 5 (AKA The Infantry General)
This manager is more like a friend to me than a manager. She’s always willing to sit and talk with the employees about their problems (and where we are that’s a hand full!) it’s good that there’s someone I can go to, to vent .otherwise I might explode!

And I can’t forget my co-workers! They’re good people and great friends!
I want to thank them all:

A (you’ve been a friend since university) thanks for tolerating my jokes!

H.Sh (you know me as Chandler :p , I'm happy that your with me at work)

N (congrats again) and thanks for the pep talk the other day

N (you’re a good friend N, and I wish you all the best by the way green is your color)

Holy man (dude I’ve known you for a year that’s too long :p just kidding man!)

R (keep smiling kid, nothings worth it)

A.50 (dude congrats to you too man, and sorry for bugging you before :p)

Q (dude your a good guy just keep it up)

A.B (yo man thanks for hanging out with me and tolerating my rants)

Mr.H (dude you rock!)

Well I kind of feel better after all this! I’m glad I had a chance to vent.
Now it’s time to find the eject button and escape from hell!

Origin

For this post I thought I would talk about a subject that is very dear to me. I had realized that I go by the Solar Alchemist but I never bothered to explain anything about alchemy.

Alchemy is a Science of Soul that results from an understanding of God, Nature, and Man. A perfect knowledge of any of one them cannot be obtained without the knowledge of the other two, for these three are one and inseparable. Alchemy is not merely an intellectual but a spiritual science, because that which belongs to the spirit can only be spiritually known. Nevertheless, it is also a science dealing with material things, for spirit and matter are only two opposite manifestations or poles of the eternal One.
“Franz Hartmann”

Alchemy is one of the oldest disciplines on the planet, with origins as far back as 2500 years ago. Alchemy is the beginning and ending of all knowledge, it refers to both an early form of the investigation of nature and an early philosophical and spiritual discipline, both combining elements of chemistry, metallurgy, physics, medicine, astrology, semiotics, mysticism, spiritualism, and art.

The practitioner of alchemy constantly seeks an understanding of all things, so as to find peace for him/her self within the realm of the universe!

One of the basic doctrines of alchemy or the first law of alchemy is (the law of equivalent trade) this means that (to gain something of value you need to sacrifice something of value). Now you must understand that it is not necessary for you to sacrifice something physical to gain something physical since in alchemy every thing has a value whether it be emotion, effort, money, time …etc. Also the reverse holds true as well, if something is taken from you it stands that in return you gain something of equal value to that which you have lost. Now I know that it is difficult to see what you gained when say you’ve lost something very special to you, but try it look back at your life and see what you gained from your losses (but you have to analyze it in terms every single aspect of your life physical and non-physical).

Recently I lost 3 things to me of very great value to me, now while I can’t see nor understand what I have gained in return, I carry in my heart the knowledge that somehow I have gained something even if I don’t know it yet!

The history of Alchemy :

-Alchemy is part of the mystical and mystery traditions of both East and West. In the West, it dates to ancient Egypt, where adepts first developed it as an early form of chemistry and metallurgy. Egyptians alchemists used their art to make alloys, dyes, perfumes and cosmetic jewelry, and to embalm the dead.

-The early Arabs made significant contributions to alchemy, such as by emphasizing the mysticism of numbers (quantities and lengths of time for processes). The Arabs also gave us the term 'alchemy', from the Arabic term 'alchimia', which loosely translated means 'the Egyptian art'.

Some Islamic alchemists:
Jabir ibn Haiyan, Abu Bakr al-Razi, Aidamir al-Jildaki,Al-Khwarizmi

-During medieval and Renaissance times, alchemy spread through the Western world, and was further developed by Kabbalists, Rosicrucians, astrologers and other occultists. It functioned on two levels: mundane and spiritual. On a mundane level, alchemists sought to find a physical process to convert base metals such as lead into gold. On a spiritual level, alchemists worked to purify themselves by eliminating the "base" material of the self and achieving the 'gold' of enlightenment.

-By Renaissance times, many alchemists believed that the spiritual purification was necessary in order to achieve the mundane transformations of metals.

-A final note:

"Transmutation" is the key word characterizing alchemy, and it may be understood in several ways: in the changes that are called chemical, in physiological changes such as passing from sickness to health, in a hoped-for transformation from old age to youth, or even in passing from an earthly to a supernatural existence. Alchemical changes seem always to have been positive, never involving degradation except as an intermediate stage in a process having a "happy ending." Alchemy aimed at the great human "goods".

Now this is only a small part of what can be said about alchemy, it would take a million posts to say everything about it. A wealth of knowledge is available on the net. If you want to know more you can start with the site mentioned in my links section.

P.S. Krispy Dixie the last pic should be intersting for you, pay close atention to the center of the design and forget everything else. look familiar?

Our new masks

Historically masks where worn for ritual, social, religious and theatrical functions. Where participants wear them to represent spiritual or legendary figures. With these, the mask wearer was transformed into someone and in some cases something else. He was free from the constraints of social obligaton, all he was required to do was act in accordance to what the mask demanded.

With the creation of the net, a new medium in which we can create custom masks for our selves has evolved.

On the net we can have as much anonymity as we like, we can be anyone we chose and look like anything we wish, even our personalities can be to our likeing, if we so chose we can let out the personality we hide while we’re in the real world or we can even re-write it to something we think people will like.

Tell me has anyone been part oh a conversation like this:

Taken from chatting program:

Guy: hello….

Girl: hi

Guy: asl?

Girl: 20/f/ (anywhere) u?

Guy: 27/m/ (anywhere)

Guy: so what are you into?

Girl: well I’m a model in training, I love following up on the lattes fashions and the guys are always chasing after me!

Guy: really J…..

Guy: What do you look like

Girl: well, I have beautiful white skin, big brown eyes, I’m very slender, I have long black hair, and people say that my lips are my best feature.

(((((((( The Reality that she's hiding!!!! )))))))

Guy: wow you sound sexy!!!!!

Girl: thanx

Girl: so what do you look like?

Guy: ok I’m tall, black hair, piercing black eyes, muscular body (I work out a lot J ) . I always take care of my health!

(((((((( The Reality that he's hiding!!!! )))))))

Girl: amazing you sound hot! But what do you do for a living if you keep in such top shape?

Guy: actually I’m an investment banker

Girl: cool that must mean you make a lot of money.

Guy: well I get by J

Girl: soooo what do you do for fun

>
>
>
Etc…….

You see what I’m getting at these too obviously never said a single truth about them selves, and I bet that nothing they say till the end of the conversation would be a fact either!

But I can’t knock it chatting and blogging can be therapeutic in it’s on way. It gives us the chance to brake the chains we bind our selves with in the real world, here we can set our selves free.

What really bothers me though is when it becomes obsessive and we start to live on the net, where we actually reach out for human contact threw a keyboard.

This is the scene I saw at my gahwa

You see a gahwa is a place where guys hang out to talk, joke around play cards. But mainly we talk and joke. So when I saw this I was amazed I waited to see how long before people started talking with each other but they just kept on chatting with people on the net, when we where all right there!!!!!

People don’t get me wrong I enjoy blogging and sometimes chatting with friends that are out side the country but I don’t feel that my life should exist on the net, that could be dangerous see (The Net).

You know one thing if we could all just sit down and talk to each other with real masks on maybe the world would be a better place. Maybe we could learn that all the things that we try to hide from the world would be what brings the world to us!

I’ve met a lot of people threw blogging and I don’t know how much of their blog personality comes out in real life? But I know one thing for sure if I met them in real life and the blog personality was the one present. I would make them a friend for life!!!!!

Note: this post is half joke half informative so please no hate mail :p!!!!!!!!!

Mars and Venus

I’m sure we’ve all had troubles with the opposite sex at one time or another, it’s only human. These things come about for (in my opinion!) lack of understanding of the opposite sex and the differences between the two sexes.

Let’s start out with two equations one explains the way we find what women equal and one that tells us what men equal:

the equation of woman:

Taken from Fallen Angel's blog and edited

Now women don’t get me wrong I don’t think ALL women are Evil but the math doesn’t lie :p. but seriously guys see this as a fact but not as evil but as a drain on the cash the could spend on say buying the latest phone or something and time away from their buddies whom they might as well be married too (men have problems as well :p)

And for us guys it’s a little simpler as we are simple creatures:

Now guys no matter what you say this is a mathematical truth, it was done via a survey of all the people I know and in Kuwait and in the states that is a lot of people!
And let me tell you this guys if you say your not a pervert, then you’re a closet pervert!
And if you say your not a pervert and you really aren’t then your probably gay!
But then again so that I can do justice to my fellow men being a pervert isn’t a bad thing hell it’s not like we’re going to do anything about what goes on in our heads!

With regard to what makes both sexes happy it’s fairly easy to see the problem, the is an imbalance with the quantity and quality of things that make men & women happy. Let’s imagine that we could take all the things that make men & women happy and write them done. This is what it should look like

Read this women (this is what make men happy):

And for the guys I present Volume 1 of (what makes women happy):

Well I think I should say this, guys are so simple we don’t really want very much and tend to be satisfied with what was mentioned earlier.

And for the women I didn’t intend the Volume 1 thing as a demeaning statment or anything, what I mean by it is that every woman on the planet is unique, no two are alike so it only stands to reason that their would be an infinite number of things that could make women happy.

All Joking aside guys and girls, we really are a lot more alike then we would like to admit. We both long for companionship, we both have or insecurities no matter how cocky or stuck up we seem on the out side, we both have sides of us we’d like to hide from the world.

The problem I think we all have is that we tend to over generalize the given facts about the opposite sex. (men “that girl is so complicated & she’s after my money”) (women “he just wants to sleep with me”).

But what we always forget is in every human being there is the inevitable variable, and that single variable is where the magic of that person lives!

a final note:

For the guys that are looking for love:
Beauty fades with age, but a shining sole shines forever.

And for the girls that are looking for love:
Money & power can be gained & lost, but values are set in stone

Teachers in Kuwait

Recently two of my friends have become fathers which sparked talk in the gahwa on planning the future for the kids and everything. Well since I don’t have any kids I was just listening, when they were talking about schooling I noticed how many of them were saying that they wanted to put their kids in private schools. So I asked them why, their simple reply was that they wanted a better education for them.

You know I think that is sooo bad that we can’t even depened on or own school for good education. I my self thought at first that I would send my kids (when I have any) to public school, but you know I remembered that I know a lot of the guys who are teachers now, and honestly I don’t know how much I can trust people like them with my children?

What ever happened to the morals of teaching don’t these people know that they have the chance to influence the way people think?

Hell I have had some teachers that I still respect they had a profound effect on me.

In high school:

Istath Jamal from managerial accounting (he always did his best)

Istath 3imad al-3akari (who actually got me to like Arabic class)

In the university:

Dr. 3imad Dashti (the guy real wanted us to learn and made it fun)

Dr. Rasheed Al-jina3ee ( who put up with me during his classes)

Most Of all Dr. Najat i7sain (who with out her I probably would have never chosen finance as a major!)

These people real shaped a big part of who I am though I didn’t know it at the time.

I remember them and I think of my friends now who are or have become teachers (God help our future generations!)

Here’s a suggestion we should get all the new teachers and make them watch Great Teacher Onizuka (anime or the TV show) mabe it would get some sort of effect with them.

So what are you going to put your kids threw public or private school?

How can we beat some morality into the teachers of the public schools?

P.S. This is Great Teacher Onizuka The TV Series is Great and the anime is a amzingly funny one if you ever decied to start watching anime start with this (I garuntee that you won't stop laughing)

On This Day In History

1938: Orson Welles stirs nationwide panic with his "War of the Worlds" radio dramatization.

http://encarta.msn.com/encnet/features/onthisday.aspx

Does know about this?

Well if you don’t here’s a heads up!

In 1938 The War of the Worlds was broadcast on national radio in the United States, during that period in history radio was only used to broadcast the news! So naturally when the U.S. populace heard this on the radio they immediately thought that it was truth, hence nationwide panic erupted .

Kind of makes me wonder, what in our day and age of mass media is leading us to panic?

And can we real trust what we see and hear as thruth??????????????

picture from the flash movie "Silent Hill 2:CE" Author "Fiergon" fron New Grounds

A retard moment, is a moment that occurs to a normally rational inelegant human being.
It happens when all logical information is present and even though the brain comprehends it the person decides to ignore it!

Yesterday I had one of those grand moments, and after I had calmed down and gotten everything under control I had to laugh.

here's what happened:
I had bought a sheesha for home use. I also bought wood charcoal as it is better for smoking the stuff. The only problem was that I couldn't get the dam coal to light!
So I went to the Co-op and asked if they had anything I could use to light the charcoal. Well since fire starters are made in Denmark they are banned in Kuwait so they said I could try and use this oil lamp thing. They told me to just pull the lamp string out and poor the oil on the charcoal and it should light.
Yesterday I decided to try it; I pulled out the string and poured a bit on the wood. It lit a bit but the oil soon evaporated and the fire went out, so I figured the only way to get this fire going was to soak the wood in it! I let the oil poor over the wood and the extra oil poured into the (duwa). As I was pouring the liquid on the coal, a little voice in my head said "you better drain that or you'll have trouble" I ignored it and picked up the coal and lit it.

It lit perfectly I was so proud of my self. I new it would take a while for it to be ready to use on the sheesha so i decided to put it back in the (duwa). Again the voice said "don't do it!' again I ignored the voice, and set the coal in the duwa in the liquid.
What happened next? I was standing their watching the duwa in flames I said to my self "it's ok the oil will evaporate and everything will be back to normal". The voice in my head on the other hand was saying "you idiot it's oil it's going to be burning for a while!” at that point I was swearing like crazy because it was getting worse. My first thought was “I need water to put this out”. Then the voice which turned out to be my logic said "you retard get the fire extinguisher!”
I listened this time and thankfully nothing in my house caught fire, I was lucky!

It was at that point I made a note to my self (Never, Ever Do WEED!)

By the way I told this story to one of my friends. he doesn't beleive that it was me!

___________________________________________________________________

On another note, I went to a company gabgah tonight. People , I don't know so please fill me in. Is there some rule for shaking hands? Like when I should or shouldn't stick my hand out too shake a girl’s hand?
Because a few times there I didn't know what to do so i just didn't shake any until the girl stuck out her hand!

Art and Life. A mirror image?

I watch my fair share of TV and read my fair share of books, and I'm sure everyone else out there does too, but has anyone ever noticed that more often than we would like we can find those same characters or situations in or own daily life!

hell I could spit out a list of characters I've seen on TV that are in my life:
Too name a few:
- TV show (Scrubs)(DR. Cox) <> one of my best friends

- TV show (C.S.I) (Grissom) <> (George Warnner) one of my former Teachers at Kuwait investment authority

-Movie ( The wizard of Oz) (wicked witch of the west) <> someone I report to (I’m not going to say) but what freaks me out is that she actually found an Evil Flying monkey for an assistant!

-TV Show (Stargate SG-1) (Jack O'Neill) <> one of my friends that can't quite get the hang of thinking before he uses his mussels.

-TV Show (any) (the Idiot) <> the is this guy that hangs out with us in the coffee shop that will make anyone of those TV idiots look like a rocket scientist!

and with TV situations hell you name it:
-putting my foot in my mouth
-saying something about someone and they’re right behind me
-saying a secret I shouldn't
- etc..... etc......

I'm just glad I don't have to deal with the other stuff like getting shot and whatnot,
it would really suck to have to deal with life and all it's improbabilities and have to face all that whacked out shit that is on some of those TV shows!

well people who do you know that resembles a character on TV or in a movie?

1,000,000,001 Differences

I know I haven't posted anything in almost a year but I've been dealing with a lot of personal stuff. and the fact that I was never at home enough to sit down and post anything didn't help either.
But there is something on my mind that I've just got to get out.
why do we as humans always create differences between us and other humans?
let's see how many I can think of using this chart:

Now this is by no means everything I'm sure this chart can get even more screwed up!
you can even add other things like white, black , a person or families ideologies, theories,values and everything else. what really pisses me off is the fact that all these things we created they are man made!!!

These differences seem to govern every aspect of our lives here in Kuwait from marriage,to where we work, where we go to school, where we live, .... everything
why is it that we continually live in a world that is governed by our differences.

I mean hell every religion has the concept of all men are equal [and so that women out there don't get mad men= human raise]

we are also all the children of Adam, so why the hell are we always hating each other for are differences. hell go to a grave yard and think about this, no matter what your religion is no matter who your family is we're all heading to the same place but after that even those things won't determine if you go to heaven or hell!

Let's get a few things straight:
-Religion is personal people it's between God and man so stop trying to force your beliefs on every one else and if someone else doesn't believe what you believe they're not evil!
-People really have no say what family their born into! so stop judging the family first and judge the person for the person!
-Their are factors that are more important than what a persons religion is and what family their from, like are they a good person do they respect others?

I'm sure there are many more things to mention but I'm too pissed off to think of them right know!

people if anyone out there thinks that they might agree with what I've said the please speak out.
Let your voices tare down these invisible walls that have been placed around us!!!!

Do you happen to know so one like our customer here! He hasn't got a clue on what he wants, and he doesn't even want to take the time to even scratch his head for the idea. This person can be your boss a friend, co-worker, family member, ect..
don't these people drive you crazy! I mean how hard is it to make a decision? you have people that sit in a restaurant staring at the menu for hours and can't make up their god damn mind!
Why is it that people have this fear of commitment? Do they fear finality? That if they make a decision, they can't live with the consequences. Think of it this way, if we can’t make a decision on what to eat how will we deal with decisions of greater importance?

So to all you people of the bloging world what type of person are you?
Decider or wishy-washy?
Do you know some one that is indecisive? If so how do you deal with them?

I my self decide by choosing the decision which would in my mind bring me the least regret! How about you?

Exhibit A: our manager trying to explain something to us! Touchdown

The trials of Work:
Everyone see the guys with the pointy hair. Think of him with a slightly lower IQ and wearing a dishdasha, that would be my boss! Why is it that here in Kuwait we get monkeys to run our companies?
If my boss wants us to do something he resides in him self to draw it out on a piece of paper. Which after examining it, I can't quite make out whether the guy wants us to do a financial analysis or go for the touchdown!
Now tell me what you would do if you have a deadline and your boss is FORGETTING to forward important documents to you!?!?!?
allot of times I get the urge to beat the baboon to death with a stapler or some other office object, however I remember that this baboon pays me very well so I let the thought pass!

I guess I'll just have to live with serving a baboon!!!!!!

The Coffee shop conversation:

Yesterday while at the sheesha place with the guys an interesting conversation took place here's what happened:

one of our friends started to sing a song.
in the song we there was a word we didn't know, it was (Qa-ni-ya). we asked him the meaning of this word.

he didn't know, but a friend of ours that studied Arabic history told us!

the word (qa-ni-ya) comes for the Arabic spoken before Islam. during that time in the (ga3dat) they didn't have music. they had three things [al-'7mir,al-shi3ir, & the qa-ni-ya) the qaniya where the women that served the drinks (i.e. at the time ig-7aab).
as the years went by and things changed it was the qaniya that was saying the poems, then later as music started to emerge it was also incorporated into the (ga3da).
people would comment ( ma-a7la ha-thi-he al-qaniya). until with time the word became edited and the pronunciation became (Mu-'3-ni-ya).

so here we find the following:
Mu'3aniya= ga7ba
yu-'3-ni= yu-ga7ib

and so on with the various words of the same manner!
isn't history cool :-p

(Note: to those of you out there that may have taken offence of this post, I'm sorry. i just got a kick out of the story and thought that some of u out there would to).

The beginning of a journey ( I.e my first Blog :-p)

First of all I’d like to say hello to all Blogers! And to those of you who are with me in Kuwait, we all share the same grief at the also of our amir. He was a great man!

I’ve been reading some of the blogs that have been posted about the subject, and people are disagreeing whether or not he did anything or whether he was a great man and stuff like that. Well these things shouldn’t be the real point of discussion, the man did many things and help Kuwait and Kuwaitis through the hardest of time. What really should be the topic is what happens now the future of Kuwait is hanging in the balance and people are arguing over what type of leader the late amir was.

The future out come seems case sensitive, either the parliament excuses the need for sheikh Sa3ad from taking the entire oath whereby he becomes amir. However judging for his health that might not be long ((although Allah e6awil ib 3omra)). Or the other option is that parliament says he has to forgo the title, either way the next amir would be sheikh 9abah
Al-a7med.

In light of this what could possibly happen under his rule?
