wheres the underground?

in musical terms,….

such a large part of life and society here is kept underground, i’m wondering if there is a musical underground here.

granted there are no venues to be underground in,…..

but still

this is going to be one of those randomness posts so bear with me


the great steak and potatoe company:

i just discovered these guys! holy crap their fries are good!!
no really they’re really damn motherfucking good!!!
sharq mall and salem mubarak street next to subways.

GO!!!

or you’ll forever burn in the low fat fryer that is hell,….



french fries / chips/ jibs :

i asked the dude at the shawarma shop for fries,…..
he goes huh?
i realise that ok he may not understand french fries, so my mistake.
i ask for chips.
which is actually quite a bizarre word for them to understand over fries considering the proliferation of american culture, cos chips is really more of a british word for fries.
he still goes huh?
i ask for chips again but this time pronounce it jibs.
he goes ok large or small,….
i kept picturing myself at the supermarket trying to decide on large or small bag of gibblets…..groosed out at the thought of a LARGE bag of chicken guts i decided on a small.

fries and the greater meaning of life:

fries,….more than religion, yoga, a common enemy, or the global pursuit of happiness,….fries are the perfect analogous thingy to life as we know it.
moods change depending on whether or not you get the fries just like you like em.
too hot, crispy, well done, over done, salty,……
or too little salt, cold, underdone, soggy, squishy,…..
some like em long an thin, others fat an short
with the skins a la wedges, or fully circumsized like the majority of fast food joints
dipped in ketchup, mayo, mustard, or naked
covered in cheese, chilli, or some ungodly concoction designed by the chef to get rid of soon to expire stuff,…..
yes ’special sauce’ always makes me suspect.
i prefer mine naked,…. sometimes with a tad of cheese.
too much gives you zits and cellulite,….
not enough and you want more,….
but you’ll always want more until you’ve had too much,….
especially if theyre as good as great steaks ones


true equality for women in the muslim world:

chatting with a bunch of guys the other day, i asked them about the women running in the elections here.
you know how sometimes people say something and you go hmmm,… we’re from different worlds but we’re not all the different really?
this wasnt one of those times…..
in a nutshell, they reckon that a woman will never be able to run anything properly other than a household…..
and yes since i know the majority of people reading this are women and kuwaiti, those are your husbands, brothers and fathers talking when there arent any women around.
since theyre traders i decided to speak their language……
what about global investment house, al noor ( i think) and markaz ( pretty sure),…theyre founded and run by women, and two of them are the most important institutions running ?
they basically put it down to the people those women knew, which i believe is bollocks.
but someone once said never argue with fools cos people from a distance cant tell who is who.

i’ve been visiting companies the past few weeks, and the people i’ve been the most impressed with are the arab women who have answered my questions about their respective companies. the guys were either clueless PR people who wouldnt admit to being PR people and were busy pretending they knew everything, or theyre daddies got them a job there and they really didnt know anything nor did they express a desire to know anything abouttheir own companies.

women ought to run this country,…. things would be much smoother, and there’d be less posturing about who swung the bigger dick.

dunno about handbags tho

(ducks to avoid the flying handbags cos of the last comment )

finance is somewhere i think women have an edge over guys,….
cos after the math is learned, all you really need is the stomach to move when others are scared running.
men being social hunters are more likely to follow the pack and do likewise.

when you can buy his ass many times over, then you’ll get your equality.

sad but true,… so get to work

i think theres more but this is getting long and i’m late for an appointment

ps i dont mind PR people if they look for someone that can answer my questions
