    I think I might perhaps, and only just maybe, have actually learned something today, for actual fuck's sake.

      I agree Blue - except for it doesn't account for "what the ever-loving fuck?"Fuckery on the emotional spectrum is yet to be explored.

    I say, "For fuck's sake" at least 5 times a day because things around here are always crazy.

      Mary - I use "fuck" several times a day. My students do too. We just don't do it in front of each other.

    If you are at negative fucks, does that mean that you’re actually happy about something?

On Wandering Too Far... (& Being Lost As Fuck)

Forgive me, while I chew on these three cashew nuts before I launch into a diatribe of this catastrophe I call Life.  Except, I'm not quite sure where to begin, dear reader. It's just that - for the first time in the six long years that I've called the desert my home - I find myself questioning my place here. And I can't quite put my finger on where it all went wrong...  Something's changed and upon further reflection, I think I've figured out exactly what that is. See, for the longest time - my entire life actually - I spent most of my time waiting for this thing to happen. Something. Anything.  I spent all my days in school, staring out at the horizon, waiting. I spent all my afternoons at University, up on the roof, counting airplanes, waiting. I spent all my time in London strolling through the streets and the halls of every art gallery, waiting. Then came the past 6 years... every year, rushing through the days... waiting. Waiting for the s...

On Happiness and Holidays...

So where was I... we were talking about the stars and something about a new beginnings... It's difficult to recall since this past month has gone by in an absolute blur. So what have I been up to? Lets see... First of all there were all kinds of deadlines that needed to be met - with the end of Semester approaching and end of the year... blah blah blah. I just kind of got caught up in everything.  There were bills to pay - which my new Brazilian neighbours helped me figure out (since none of us speak Arabic and were all lost in translation) - and there was shopping to do, and friends to meet.  And then suddenly, like some kind of Jack-In-The-Box surprise, Jeddah's weather became something truly spectacular and I just could not keep myself indoors which is surprising considering that it's still between 28C and 31C (82F - 88F) and this is mid-winter.  So the past four weeks have been non-stop work and loads of basking in this: and and ...

On Tinder, Having Balls, and Generational Wars

-
So there I was, sitting with my coffee and scrolling through Facebook on a Friday morning when I came across this video by Simon Sinek and Tom Bilyeu on what's missing in the Millenial generation.  And my good Lord, I have never ever come across a description of Millennials - especially in this current wave of Generational Wars - that is better articulated and elucidated. If  ever! Sinek eloquently highlights the growing epidemic of failed parenting strategies coupled with the increasingly delusional world of technology – highlighting how technology feeds our delusions while simultaneously breaking down communication and relationships among people. (It’s a 16 minute video but I highly highly recommend investing the time to watch it). Now as someone who is considered a part of both Gen X and the Millennial Generation (right on the cusp), I can understand both sides of the spectrum better than most. But I must admit, Sinek hit that ball right out of the park especiall...
