Let It Rock



I just can't get this song out of my head! It is very good --> Let It Rock - Kevin Rudolf feat. Lil Wayne.

Joined The Masses



I know everyone pretty much knows everything about the ipod Touch (probably even have one). In this post, I am just going to blog my personal opinion and experience so far.

What I like: Huge touch screen - Fast and very intuitive web surfing - Youtube App - Other Apps (although I have yet to download any)

What I dislike: Back cover is fingerprint magnet - space between screen and outline on the edges.

Overall: I'm loving it! The web surfing is very quick and easy, plus I have yet to add apps (which i'm most psyched about). Oh, and this is my FIRST touch screen gadget :-)

Elite 1



I finally found the right shoe. I purchased a pair of hyperdunks a couple of months ago, but my feet never got used to them. This shoe (Jumpman Elite 1) however, which is actually my first Jordans, is very comfortable and tight. From my experience with basketball shoes, you always have to sacrifice one for the other (comfort or tight grasp on the foot). This shoe though is definitely an exception. I'm really liking it. (To the people who are thinking: "how the hell does anyone buy such shoes, then this post is probably not for you ;p)

Carbon Fiber Machinery



I just love powerful machines coated with carbon fiber. Last time I had a Lenovo, it was a thinkpad. As far as I recall, i was smashing it with my shoe after it stopped working completely and no one in Hawalli was able to fix it. I think this is different. I know I just recently got a macbook, but I don't think it will be long before I change my notebook. The problems I've been having with the Macbook is its weight and the fact that the software I use works on PC only. Yes this notebook is 3 inches bigger, but it is carbon fiber coated and I think is even lighter than the macbook! I also like the fact that it has an HDMI port (which my macbook doesn't) and an option of adding a blu ray player. Now while I'm probably not changing very soon, I'm really loving this machine.

The Lonely Island



They are amazing. I heard about this group from a friend a week ago, and now I just can't stop listening to their music/parodies. If for some reason you still don't know these guys, then you should go kill yourself. Seriously, see for yourself:

  1. J***ed In My Pants (Already 24 Million Views)
  2. I'm On A Boat (My Personal Favorite)

Smell Of Stink



Hey everyone (or anyone). I know my blog has been stinking as of late, and I'm looking to change that. I still haven't found my missing camera. So i've decided to take pictures with my phone camera and just post that here. I know it won't be that clear, but it's better than nothing.

Gran Torino - Review





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!

Traffic Laws



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.

Apple Customer Service Revised



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.

A couple of Things



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!

Proudly Stated by TSC



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.

Looking Forward



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!

Crossover Request



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!

Updating



Where do I begin? Back to Kuwait and HATING the internet. Isn't anyone dying of the slow speeds other than me? Is there something wrong with the internet? I expected Kuwait to be warmer, but it surprised me. Anyways, I lost my camera as usual. I think I lost it at ATL's airport, will check with security on my way back. Will try to update on a regular basis from now on hopefully. Later...

XXX Vitamin Water



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!


Apple Pie Mystery



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).

Widescreen



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.
