an interesting take



Today an interesting top came up in conversation. The tea cup reader/fortune teller/tarot reading ultimate subject.
I dont really know if i believe in them. If i would invest money to hear what i think is bulls**t. I have to admit the one time i went with T and N i was quite suprised, i wrote it down somewhere but i distinctly remember that she had me down andspecifically remember her saying i would leave Beirut and never come back to live there again. Oh and that it would take me a long time to REALLY love someone...
i think its a case of adapting what you hear to fit you...like the horoscopes that you read in the dailies, i mean ive even added a horoscope application on facebook! (see pic ha ha)
sometimes i do wish that what i read would come ture, especially when im feeling a little lost and confused.
Astronomy is supposedly a science, but horoscopes? nah i think its a guy (or girl) having a bit of fun choosing from a bucket of sentences and words to fill in from the day. Im sure if someone ever collected them they'd realize that there is a cycle - like after 2 years its repeated... how funny would that be? any volunteers?

how bizarre/ amazing would it be that you could convince the horoscope reading population to buy your product - i mean use its to subliminally advertise a product someone needs without being too blatant? would it work? hmmmm
worth a think...

A new start


In an effort to become productive, create a verbal vent for frustration, ive convinced myself to get back to blogging.
Today is a new fresh start, hopefully. Because it seems these days im feeling a lack of excitement, a feeling of utter and complete routine that is leading to a stale and stagnant ending.
Is this a normal feeling in the corporate world or is it dubai in general? because as i take a look at my friend's lives outside of the UAE im envious. There. I said it. I'm so jealous of the jet set fabulous lives they lead, an amazing concert in NY, a film fest in LA, a fantastic exhibition in london....
and then i think well, cmon, its not TOTALLY devoid of excitement here...
ive attached an ad that i saw today that i think really hits the spot...
yes...i want to win the lottery...
happy wishing
