BAHRAIN 1-2-3 Feb

BAHRAIN -----01- 2- 3RD FEB..........

I can not wait till the weekend. Bahrain here I come.

I spend half my time in Doha complaining about it, and the other half listening about it, well a recent survey recently claimed that four out of ten young Muslims in Britain hate the country, and actually want to live under sharia law.

How about the priest son who ended up in hospital after being given a severe beating by a bunch of thugs who then wrote a rap song about the event and released it on the net.

Or the cancellation of 41 per cent of operations on the NHS because of a lack of sterile surgical instruments? Then there’s the 50 million wasted on replacing school blackboards with whiteboards, which have actually slowed down learning.

Should I remind you of the thousands of pedophiles, murderers and foreign criminals wandering our streets as a result of official incompetence and indifference? They too will soon be joined by 150 terrorists, including those convicted in involvement in the Omagh bombing, who are due to be released as part of yet another amnesty to shore up the northern Ireland surrender process.

I could go on, but I live in Doha, so no need to complain, or I would loose the will to live. Some of this must have contributed to report which has rated Britain as 37th on a list of best places to live, behind Latvia, Slovenia, Estonia, Bulgaria and battle scared Croatia.

Makes you wonder why anyone would want to go to the UK. It can’t be the weather……..

Crazy People (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE)

Crazy People
Ok, let’s not use the term Crazy, lets say a little (unstable-or insecure) its seems that I am either a magnet to these type, or I have just had my fair share of relations with them.

I am not sure what it is about them, I like to call them (UK weather) the metaphor is, they keep changing, one day they are happy, or love you, or need you, and then the next they act as if they have never met you. They change there feeling and emotions accordingly. I guess they are Fake in one sense.

Either they are insecure, or liars, or even have an even more serious problem such as Alcoholism. It’s so weird to be in the firing line of these people. They are very confused and show different faces.

A friend of mine in London recently broke up with his girlfriend, he said she just changed, from one day to the next, one minute he was the love of her life the next he was her enemy, that sounds scary to me, but hey, its either a life of calmness and predictability or a life of Hell, and heaven at the same time. You choose.

Update...

Abdulla, as per your request, here is your Monkey face with mine. Hope to see you soon in Dubai..
Can you believe it is 2007, well don’t start making resolutions and plans to change or stop smoking, because they always fail, or do they, I have surprisingly surprised myself this year. I made a few little points to change certain things, and have actually stuck by them.

Firstly the exercise, I am now a daily Yoga addict, my brother showed me some new and interesting poses over the New Year period in London, and am practicing daily. Secondly I have Cut Out 85% of my consumption of carbonated drinks.

Then What
I spend 6 hours analyzing my friendships on a plane trip from London to Bahrain during New Years Eve.

I realized that some of the people I know, just take, take, take and take. I am speaking in many terms, energy, financial, favors and so on. They never give back, and you know what I am tired of fitting into their schedules and times, I am no longer going to be saddened by their selfishness, it’s really simple, just politely cut them out of your life. Just be polite and kind, but stop spending time and energy with them.

I know a couple pf people like that, they would drop you easily if a better deal came up, would kill for an invite to a restaurant or any kind of attention. Kind of lost, but I always seem to be the one in the background, well you know what I don’t need that energy, or to be around always till something better comes along, always wasting my money on going out…..

Meeting New people
Meeting new people is healthy; it can be inspiring, challenging and also intriguing. The last few weeks I seemed to of met kind a few new characters through friends and so on, I met a really interesting couple from Bahrain, they are both cousins, Ahmed and Zeina, they studied in the US and both of them travel together, if your reading this, (hey, cant wait to see you both, thanks for the great time we had in London) anyway they have inspired me in so many ways, and have invited me to the US with them in the summer, I am really considering going with them. Its so nice to meet open minded people, not just free people, I mean people with whom you can enjoy a really healthy intellectual conversation, without having to be careful of your next word and so on.

I also met a very nice girl, of course wrong nationality and culture, hopefully will never get the site address and know I am talking about her, but she is real cute, very clever and Mashalla really beautiful.

Anyway like I said earlier, try to stick to your new resolutions, if you didn’t start on Jan 1st, start today, really make a pact to change the things you don’t like, cut out the negative vibes, believe me, you will feel and notice the difference.
