What need I say about this film? It is definitely one of the best since The Dark Knight. It is amazing. I liked how it was humorous but never got out of the line of the story's plot. Make no mistake this is a drama, but you will enjoy a couple of laughs here and there throughout the movie. To sum it all up: Clint Eastwood is stellar. GO SEE THE MOVIE!

We keep hearing everywhere we go how America is civilized, and have laws that everyone abides by. We also hear that they have the best well-thought rules and regulations. Let me tell you now that their traffic regulations and laws are utterly stupid. Anyone who has ever come to the states knows that we in Kuwait have better traffic laws (although we don't follow them). I just wanted to point this out since everyone keeps comparing Kuwait to other countries and it always comes out to be on the negative side.

So I had more problems on my Beats Headphones. I went back to the Apple store with a smile on my face because I knew I was dealing with the best customer service (considering what they did last time I had problems with the headphones). Apparently I was mistaken. Apple told me that I should contact Monster (the company that made the headphones) and tell them that I have problems with my headphones. WTF?? I mean it's an agreement between Apple and Monster, why should I be the one who contacts Monster? Now I'm stuck with a pair of headphones that don't work! Apple should've kept the headphones with them and they contact Monster and work out whatever they have to do, and then Apple would call me when I have a pair of working headphones. This is crap.

First of all: How the hell do people use Zain e-go?? It SUCKS!! I've been using it for two weeks here in Kuwait, and it is so bad. I know that there has been a problem with the internet lately, but that's not the only problem. The device (e-go) is very sensitive and you have to keep on disconnecting it and reconnecting it to your laptop (that's if it didn't disconnect by itself. Anyways, bottom line: it sucks.

Second: I'm being delivered back to Ohio to continue my University journey. Expecting a lot now that I have been accustomed to the place. And yes, I can't wait for the snow there!

Lastly, I am in serious need of a digital camera. I'm pretty much looking at all sorts of cameras right now (I must admit: I don't exactly know what I want). I want to dive into the SLR stuff and become a photographing enthusiast, but then again, I'm not sure if I'm going to give it a lot of time. I also don't know if I need a digital camera or video cam. Yup, that's how much I'm lost!

Later,,

Apparently The Sultan Center doesn't give a s*** about the whole "boycott Danish products" deal. I was at the Sultan Center in Salmiya, and saw a huge selection of Danish cheeses "proudly" marked with a label that says "Danish Cheese" along with Denmark's flag. WTF??!!

* Sorry, but I didn't have a camera with me to snap a pic.

My vacation is almost over now. I've got around 5 days left and then i'm boarding a 14 hour flight back to the states. Not that I'm not happy i'm going back, it's just that this time i'm staying for 5-6 months before coming back again to Kuwait. The good news is that I'm planning on getting a car there (finally), so I'm expecting to get more fun out of my days there in Ohio. Road trips is the first thing on the top of my head that i'm looking forward to. Other than that, I'm also planning on getting involved in a club or something, just to get more involved in the University. For now, I'm eating as much Kuwaiti (national) food as I can before the 2nd of Jan. Later,,

On another note, I'm currently addicted to Flickr! I just type in anything that comes to mind, and tons of great photos come up. It's amazing!

Hey everyone! It's not going to be long before i'm leaving this country yet again for another quarter of university. Anyways, i'm planning on getting a car once I get there in Columbus and need anyone's opinion or experience with a crossover vehicle (small SUV). I'm pretty much going to decide between the Foord Edge, Nissan Murano, and the VW Tiguan. Please drop a comment if you have an experience with any of these cars. Thanks!

This is one of many labels from Glaceau's Vitamin Water. Vitamin Water is very widespread and popular here in Ohio, and I personally like it. I also like their funny writings on their labels (one of many is of XXX, shown above). I think XXX's label is by far the funniest!

Me and my friend went last night to Johnny Rockets, and we were smacked with very bad news. Apparently, the FAMOUS Johnny Rockets Apple Pie (which I think is amazing) is gone for good. No more Apple Pie! Forever! Can anyone confirm from any other branch? (The branch I went to was at Lennox in Columbus, OH).

Youtube has officially gone widescreen as of earlier today. This is really cool. Wish they would have every video with an option to be viewed in HD too. Well, this is still pretty nice.

While it was hard getting accustomed to my new Mac, I am beginning to like Apple a little, mainly because of their customer service. I purchase Beats by Dre a month ago, and the arc broke recently. I took the headphones to Apple, with a speech prepared in order to convince them to switch the headphones for me. Apparently though, I didn't need any speech. I talked to a representative and he simply went back to the storage room and got me brand new headphones! Who does that?! Apple does though...

I am in love with Subway. It is amazing and healthy. I've been eating junk food since I got here (columbus, OH), and now i'm feeling the effects. That's why I have decided to fulfill my fast food cravings at Subway! Their subs are amazing, and healthy. What more can you ask for? Plus, you really feel full after eating there. It's just perfect. I was doing some research for the origin of the name (Subway). I always thought it had something to do with subways somehow. Turns out it's not. The origin of the franchise was actually an interesting story. Anyways, Think fresh. Eat fresh. ;)

I am downloading like crazy now. There are many movies that I missed which have become relatively old.  Two of these movies are The Bank Job, and Get Smart.

When I saw these headphones a year ago, I knew I was going to get them. Two weeks ago, I went out to the Apple store here in Columbus and got them. They are amazing. I'm in love with them. They truly provide crisp sounds. You can really notice the greatest sounds when you have songs with strong Bass. I'm loving them. The only problem I have with them, is that when the volume level is a little above average, everyone beside you can hear what you are listening to. When I got the headphones, I didn't realize that since no one was with me, but then I realized it when my friend told me about the problem. Still though, I love them! I also liked the way the headphones were packaged. Really nice. (pictured below).

Ok, I know i suck a little when it comes to posting on a regular basis. Anyways, I would just like to update you guys (whoever reads this blog anyway) of two movies which you should absolutely avoid watching any time in your life. The first is Quarantine. This movie absolutely has no beginning, no end, and no middle. The plot is just lost in the mix. The movie is horrible. Really horrible. It's not bad because it's a repeated story (actually that would've been better). It is bad because the story simply sucks (as if there is one). Anyway, just don't go to this one.

Another one is Max Payne. Now some might disagree with me on this one. But honestly, what kind of stupid movie was this? The acting was horrible (especially Ludacris), and Mark Wahlberg was very disappointing. To add to that, the story had nothing original at all. It's just pure lameness. People who liked the video game would appreciate this game, but once you think about the movie itself, you will realize it was bad.

Next up on my list are Body of Lies and Pride and Glory. Those two should be a lot better. Reviews coming soon...

Dunkin Beats Starbucks is the new campaign from Dunkin' Donuts to show everyone that Starbucks Coffee sucks. And that is exactly why i'm posting about this. Not a big fan of Dunkin' Donuts myself, but it's about time people realized that Starbucks Coffee is overhyped.

I don't care what all of you say. My message is simple and clear: Apple sucks. They have managed to lure everyone to their systems through good marketing. I am a victim too. I don't care what people say about Apple, it's all not true. It is NOT an easy system to use. Everyone goes crazy about how it is much sleeker and easier than a PC. It is NOT. I just got my mac around 3 weeks ago, and i've never felt the "Apple feeling" which is overhyped. To me, Windows is much easier to use. Say what ever you want, I will not change my opinion. I demand simple tasks from a computer, and i'm frankly not getting them from my Mac. Mac lacks a decent Bittorrent client. Oh, and Transmission does suck. Allow me to elaborate: I have a decent wireless connection. My friend has his HP, and I stupidly went with a Mac. We both tried to download the same torrent file. The download on the HP reached speeds of 500KB/s while my speeds reached a max of 100KB/s. Actually, the average download speed was around 30KB/s. It is also not consistent. Furthermore, the iTunes is dumb on the Mac. It doesn't realize that it's adding multiples of the same file onto the library. A message should appear telling me that there are multiples of the same file.

Simply put, i'm not in control of my Mac. It is in control of me. I wish i went with a Vaio instead :( ... now i'm planning on selling my macbook and getting a Vaio.

So just a message to Steve Jobs: instead of mastering the art of marketing, you should be mastering the art of actually making decent software. I mean, no hate to all of you Apple fans. Yes the Apple is safer to use (no viruses), and blab all you want about it being more productive (which i disagree with because technically there are more software for Windows than there are on Mac). I never thought I would ever be writing this post. I really need help understanding this machine because honestly, i'm not getting what i thought i would from it.
