Hai gaiz!!1!

Man, it has been one hell of a start to the new academic year. A 'bang up' job if I do say so myself. Gladly, however, stuff has slowed down and things ought to return to, 'normal' (if you could ever call it that) soon enough, me guesses.

Either way, more changes to your favorite blog soon. I'm thinking of moving the scroll text from the sidebar to just under the title and use it to highlight.. something. Not quite so sure what yet. But when I know, you'll know, you know?

This Thursday I get to go back to AMG and sign our contracts to work for ShoofTV. Finally a paid job. Money. Riches. Women. Cars. Luxuries. Gourmet Food. Credit. Little boys. The world is my oyster.

Every time I log on I still feel like this blog needs a little more pizzazz before it's finally up to my liking. Then I sometimes realize that maybe I should just finally sit down and post one of the articles like I promised I would. But I'm actually quite hesitant. I recently learned that I screwed up this article I wrote sometime in the last academic year and it turned out worse than dog doo. So I need to figure out my writing style all over again. I guess I can't be as good as a student who's learning how to write an article the correct way, rather than the instinctive way.

Oh well, can't beat 'em all. But sure as hell can try!

10,000 bottles of beer on the wall..

Well it's 6:31am sharp and I am waiting for my bus to come pick me up. I wish I could take the laptop to University on a more regular basis, it would make for very interesting updates.

I'm trying to get the nice HOD of the Media Department to allow me to teach the first (and/or second) year students their Arabic lessons. For the first years, it's now become a credited course, so he may not want to as much but if he does then, hey, you can call me Professor Mali. Or Professor Moe. Or just Professor.

There are still some articles that I want to post but haven't found the time to complete yet. One of them is a article (tirade?) about former Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf's resignation in the face of impeding impeachment. I also want to discuss possible ideas for this year's Ibda'a awards. I'll probably be entering in the Journalism category so I need a good strong article to send in. Problem, however, is that I'm really not that sure about what to write about. And since my writing skills change depending on my passion/interest for the subject, I need to find something (or you to find something) that piques my curiousity.

I noticed one thing the other day. I was on a vox pop for City 7 news and I saw me talking to... well.. a mic. And I noticed that I was doing the one thing that I used to make good fun of a friend for doing. Moving my hands in a repetitive motion while I talk. Now, I don't normally do that *waves* but I guess because I was being taped and recorded *slides* it might have triggered a involuntary reaction in the left side of my brain *flips* to cause my right hand *flips again* to make said movements. How embarrassing.

For some reason, my iPod cable (or iPod) is not working. As far as I know the iPod worked fine since I last uploaded songs onto it, but I was using my old cable at that point. Now that I lost that one I figured I might as well try the new one and when I did the iPod refused to show any signs of... anything. It didn't charge, neither was it picked up by the computer. So I'm crossing fingers and hoping it's the cable that's faulty. Because the iPod works fine and if it DOES have that little glitch that would totally suck and I'd have to get it repaired and risk losing my playlists. I worked very hard on my playlists and would not want that. Uh uh. No way.

It's now time for me to skidaddle out of here. The bus should be here shortly and it's actually nice out at this time of the day, so I wouldn't mind the wait. Until next time!

Cheers!

The Weekly Stupids V1P1 - All Beauty No Brains

Welcome to the first edition of, 'The Weekly Stupids,' an online dedication to the stupidest people that I can find in the only superpower of the 21st Century.

For my first post I would like to introduce none other than Lauren Caitlin Upton. A Miss Teen USA 2007 contestant (She came fourth eventually) from South Carolina, was asked a seemingly simple question.

Pay close attention to her not-so-simple answer:




Delivered as promised!

ZOMG! Name change!

As of 5 minutes ago the blog formerly known as, "Changing Direction Without My GPS," (CDWMG) has now become:

Gone Fishing, Without My GPS!

(Or just GFWMG for short)

The url however, remains the same. I wish I had a better URL though.. Oh well.



Yay!

Roomieroom

So my visiting brother finally left a couple of nights ago. This saw my glorious return to my room. However this moment of peace and tranquility will be extremely short lived as in a few days I shall be having a visiting aunt and uncle over and so will see my posterior lobbed back onto the couch in the living room. Recently, UK blogger TJ was witness to this treatment and I've always wondered what he thought about our couch-bed.

A month or so ago, I started a little project where I would, on a blog, make a showcase of the falling average in American IQ levels. For reasons yet unbeknown to me I shut it down. Probably because no one ever visited. THEREFORE, my genius brain has come up with this mind-b(l)oggling plan to have a weekly article called... *drum roll* The Weekly Stupids, which will publish every Friday. Here I will showcase all that I did on that blog. And so this way at least it will have some readership and at the same time my blog will get more hits. Joy!

I've also realized that I never make use of the 'labels' feature. I really should, it would make my blog a little more accessible. Henceforth, all posts will have labels. Yay! Big resolution. Maybe I'll also have a limited number of labels making everything more... categorized?

At this point I spent a good 45 minutes labeling ALL of my past posts. I am now late for a task that I was supposed to have started at 3 o clock. It is currently 3:36pm and now I've gotta make a run for it. But that can wait. First I finish post!

Lastly, University has reopened and now I am in my Junior year. Just this year and one more left after which I can wash my hands clean off Manipal University (as it is now known). The flip side to going to such a terrible university is how well I am doing for myself otherwise. I'm doing well academically, I have a job in the Media industry with one of the biggest local media giants, working to develop one of their premier websites. I also am a property agent with DAMAC properties, one of the biggest Master Developers in the UAE. I'm also just really really cool.

Whooo!
