Not All Kuwaitis Are Rich

This post is inspired by a comment made by a dear blogit friend in my 'Ramblings' blog (thanks for the comment, btw, Shobana). Years ago (and maybe with some, till now), many westerners (Europeans and Americans precisely) perceived Middle Easterners to still live in tents in the desert and use... Sign in to see full entry.

You Will Never Walk Alone

Alright, in football (soccer), I hate Liverpool FC!!! No offense to the team, club, and all liverpudlians, but I hate that team and the type of football arrogance they represent, but I gotta give them one thing: it is true that they have the best and loudest fans ever, maybe even the only fans who...

News in the Morning

I got this from a book to do with Sales, but I thought it so good and true so I wanted to share: "Stay away from reading or listening to the news first thing in the morning; it's too depressing." - don't you think this is so true?

Nice and Extremely Witty

I got this from a book called Love Letters of Great Men, published by MACMILLAN and edited by Ursula Doyle (so as not to infringe on any copyright issues and to be literary fair). The book is a composition of love letters written by men to their wives, lovers, and mistresses (and to other men in... Sign in to see full entry.

Grammatically Incorrect

Is it ok to not be grammatically correct in creative writing? Of-course, when you're writing non-fiction, history books, or any other form of writing or literature besides creative writing, it is imperative to strictly stick to the rules of linguistics and grammar; but when you're writing fiction,...

The Fly

I was flying around on a cold morning in Manhatten when I saw an appartment window open with some light inside. "Thank God," I buzzed. It was freezing outside, I oughta warm my wings. I flew in...
