First Post.....

This is my first post ... Its taking me a while to think what should i write on my first post..... I thought probably a nice introduction, but yet again i realized therez not much to introduce.... ummm, now am realzing that this is not as easy as i thought it'll be!!

Today i went to the movies, Shrek the 3rd since its the only movie I'll go to here because of the censorship (or so i thought, they actually censored some kissing scenes from SHREK!! I couldn't believe how bad things are getting in here, although it made my day laughing, but it was frustrating.... I mean why not enforce age restriction instead! or even if you want to cut inappropriate scenes or words, I've seen it done many times in a very proffesional way....well anyway back to what I was saying..) I realized something disturbing, other than the disgusting food remains on the floor that i haven't seen in many cinemas around the world (am sure that there are worse), why?! If therez one thing we learned as kids in this part of the world is that food is valuable, its a blessing from God i even remember that we used to kiss food we picked from the floor...well anyway, what was more disturbing actually the number of maids or nanny ( although nanny tasks stretch out in here) with the kids and the families... Although I am not against having a maid ( but i don't much prefer it either), I am against the treatment I see... we all have jobs, bosses, and some really scare us but am sure that they'll not degrade us, and if they do we will stop them!... House work is like any other job, but here emlpoyees are not respected, most work or should be available 24/7, bossed around by kids....for some reason they're not regarded as humans!...

Being a Muslim, i know that there's no difference in people except in TAQWA (don't know exact definition but something like your relation with God) that means that people are equal!....yet in this Islamic nation with Islamic Slogans seen everywhere (don't get me started with slogans ....someday I will) I fail to notice true islamic practices....

I came back home and I kept on thinking negative things I've seen on the way back (uhh...soooo many)...This actually made me think what can I do not to help out, not to create awareness, not to complain, not to be Ideal but to get rid of my frustrations, to speak my mind, to SHOUT! without being loud..... This is how i thought of the BLOG!!

I decided to do this blog to help me and others hopefully speak their mind because I believe that we can change whats around us if we can change ourselves...and we will not change if we live in a place where everything is censored... even our thoughts!

So now I thought of my introduction, "Hi, I am Arab Guy from the Arabian Gulf, and I am hear to Speak my Mind".
