عرمرم Aramram

Posted on August 23, 2009 by 7aki Fadi

Aramram is the first Interent TV channel that is brodacst , or hosted, from Amman, Jordan.

I love it.

The clips are great. It’s Done by young people for young people and it covers so many topics that are not covered by the main stream media in general.

Sometimes it’ funny, sometimes it’s inspiring and it’s always creative.

What I love the most about it is that it’s in Arabic which makes it for our Arab youth, makes the message reach everyone not just a certain segment in Jordan and the Arab world.

What a great site and a great job. I hope it continues and does not fade with time.

Keep up the good work guys!

Here’s the link. GO WATCH IT. It’s an order.

EW..An exchange at 7aki’s office

Posted on August 8, 2008 by 7aki Fadi

I am not sure if you remember one of our coworkers that goes by the name Alex , click the link, he is featured in exchange 2 but just to recap he is known to be the cheapest man alive. Oh and he’s kinda dirty too.

Bob: I forgot to tell you the best Alex story…..
The other day he was wearing only shorts in the morning so l asked him if wearing shorts was appropriate (only joking). His response…”I forgot my pants at home”. That is right up there if his excuse ” I forgot my computer at home” (Yes he once showed up to work and he had forgotten his laptop at home. OMG HAHAHAHAHA).

Anyways, he goes down to MEXX and buys a pair of pants to wear at work. l’m surprised he would buy at MEXX – because its expensive. Later in the day, after wearing the pants all day, he put them back in the bag and l don’t know for sure, but l think he was returning them.

Just amazing. And l still hate you.

7aki: OMFG. Imagine who is going to wear the pants after him if he returned them…ewwwwwwwwww.

Bob: The kicker….He rides his bike…so he gets very sweaty.
Still hate you.

7aki: But I love you.

Bob hates me because I am leaving him/work for a whole year to take care of peanut and whenever I get the opportunity I rub it in his face and tell him, “haha, sucks to be yooooooouuuuuuu”.

Bob wishes he was pregnant too. What men would do for a year off.

Yesterday I finalized my paper work and my last day at work? Sept 1st, wooooohoooooooooooo.

Gosh I love Canada, Will be off and get paid for a whole year. LOVE IT.

1) First all the bloggers that are RATED G where all ages are admitted:

2) Now we enter the blogs where some PARENTAL GUIDANCE is required where some material may not be suitable for Children:

First off the shock of the century is non other than Kinzi .Oh kinzi the violence you have on your blog. LOL. I honestly thought Kinzi’s blog will return nothing but it did. Life is always full of surprises.

The Ugliest Thing I Have EVER Seen

Posted on May 21, 2008 by 7aki Fadi

OH MY GOD this is THE ugliest hat I have EVER seen. I mean Sarah Jessica Parker is already ugly but now she sprouted this monstrosity on her head.

Why oh why ????

I think I should refrain from sleeping tonight just in case her hat haunts me in my dreams.

And also is she even able to move her head? I would not want to sit behind her watching a movie and IN CANNES London.

Update: It is not photoshopped. Here’s the source.

What not to say to a pregnant woman. Heck ANY WOMAN.

Posted on May 6, 2008 by 7aki Fadi

Friend who happens to be MALE who I haven’t seen for 2 months and who does not know I am pregnant and only after 5 minutes from meeting me: So 7aki, did you gain weight? You look plump

7aki: .

Friend: What?

7aki: Well yes I gained weight, I am pregnant.

Friend: . OMG congratulations.

7aki after like 5 minutes: So the whole you gained weight comment, you lucked out that I am pregnant otherwise I would have kicked your ass for saying it. Like DUDE, what were you thinking asking a woman if she gained weight???

About Coming Out of The Closet

Posted on April 10, 2008 by 7aki Fadi

Being Gay anywhere in the world is not easy but it is extra difficult in the middle east and other conservative/religious countries.

I always wonder, is it harder to be a Gay man than a Gay woman? Is it easier for the women because in some way it’s kind of a bit more acceptable and is actually a fantasy for some men?

But what I want to talk about is that every human being has maternal/paternal instincts that are really strong. In countries where homosexuality is not accepted and in some cases is illegal and punishable by law you find a lot of gay people who get married just to satisfy that instinct and also to appear “normal” in the eyes of the society and chose to live a secret double life where they get to have the happy family life and have a gay partner on the side.

There are a lot of Gay men who do it because it’s easier than facing society and it’s not only restricted to the countries mentioned above ; the latest case that was all over the media was the Governor of New York who was married and had kids and just recently came out of the closet and admitted that he was Gay which put an end to his political career.

I think it is hurtfuland damaging to the kids and spouse when they find out the truth. The spouse who thinks they have a perfect marriage just to find out their partner is gay, the kids who, depending on their age, might have trouble understanding the situation.

The issue though is that Gay people are doomed if they do and doomed if they don’t.

If they choose to come out of the closet then they are shunned by society in countries that have no legal rights for gay partners , no gay marriage or any adoption laws which means they will never even dream of having a child On the other hand if they do get married and have children they are living a lie and deceiving everybody around them ; their kids, their spouse , but most importantly themselves.

I think that both decisions are hard but being true to oneself and to the people around you is the most important thing no matter at what cost.

Hallelujah!

Posted on March 6, 2008 by 7aki Fadi

So do you remember our very UNtalented office singer?

Well she just moved to a different location now and she is miles away.

WOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO .

You don’t understand what a relief this is!

Her favorite song was ”Big Girls Don’t Cry by Fergie” so I had to listen to her sing it BADLY everyday sometimes more than once a a day.

The funny thing is when I was talking to a co-worker she said: ” OH NO, I forgot to warn the people she will be working with” LOOOOOOOOOL, that is sooooooo funny, I have a friend that works in that office location and I can’t wait to talk to her , heheeeeeee.

I am thinking of having a 4:47 minutes of silence with ”Big Girls Don’t Cry” playing in the background to mourn her move. It will be like a tribute. HAHAHAHAHA. Maybe I’ll even bring some doughnuts.

Ooooh maybe some Boston cream doughnuts. Yuuuum, my favorite.

P.S. I had to search for her favorite song to link it here and while listening to it now I felt myself die inside a little. I think she scarred me for life

Topless Babies, Cute or a NO NO?

Posted on March 4, 2008 by 7aki Fadi

I was reading this post which made me remember my last visit to Amman almost 3.5 years ago

Little 7aki was only 4 months old at the time. A month prior to that I had some professional photos taken of her and one of them was her dressed up like a fairy, so she was topless in it with fairy wings, the photo was soooo cute.

I brought my Mom a copy of the picture because I was sure she is going to love it, and she did, right away she framed it and hung it up on the wall.

Some family friends came over to visit to see little 7aki , I knew these people since I can remember, since I was sooo little so I was super excited and was showing them little 7aki’s photo album and some photos I took in Amman and in a couple of them little 7aki was topless . The guy told me flat out that I shouldn’t be taking any topless pictures of my daughter and if I did I shouldn’t be showing them to people and that my mom should not put this picture up on the wall.

I had heard this comment in Canada before from 2 different men (who happened to be single with no kids of their own), one was pure Canadian born and raised and another one was Arab, at how I shouldn’t be showing this picture to people and how it made them uncomfortable.

Until this day I really don’t get it, how can a topless baby picture make people uncomfortable, IT’S A BABY that’s only 3 months old!

And if the photo was of a boy you’d be OK with it? I mean all babies look the same be it boys or girls! It’s not like the baby was naked or anything and I was showing any private parts!

It got me to thinking, do the men who feel uncomfortable have something wrong with them? Is it because they don’t have kids of their own that they feel weird about it? Culture in this case was not the factor since Canadians and Arabs alike said it made them uncomfortable.

I also remembered a statistic I’ve read somewhere that showed that men who fathered children especially men who fathered girls were very less likely to become pedophiles or to look at children as sex objects than men who never fathered children. I know that this statistic of course does not include all men, but it was done on the pedophiles and a huge percentage of them had never had a child or if they did have one they were never involved in taking care of them like changing the diaper or bathing them, etc etc (sorry I tried to find the source but I had read it in the newspaper)

Makes you think.

So I need your opinion readers:

Topless baby girl pictures, cute or a no no ?

On Marriage and Freedom

Posted on February 12, 2008 by 7aki Fadi

A lot of people out there fear marriage or flat out hate it because they are afraid that they are going to lose their freedom.

But what is freedom?

Is it the freedom to do whatever you want whenver you want?

Is it the freedom of having the ability to be romantically involved with whomever you want whenever you want?

Is it the freedom of having no responsibilities and only worrying about yourself?

I know a man in his mid forties who never got married by choice, he wanted to enjoy his freedom, and let me tell you I have never seen anyone sadder looking in my life. He has the cool car, the nice house the things most married people strive for but at the same time he has nothing, no wife no partner no kids no substance in his life, just decadence and he is very lonely, nothing means anything to him, he over dosed on freedom.

He doesn’t say he is sad but when he holds my daughter I can see the sadness.

Bob Dylan and Janice Joplin said it best, “When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose.” and ”Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose.”

Accidental Adultery

Posted on January 30, 2008 by writebob

**Guest post by Bob**

My wife and l were at a house party. There was food and drink and many people. The people were mostly my neighbours and all of them were couples. We got to the party around 9:00pm and l clung to my wife, so l wouldn’t have to have any meaningful conversation with other people. How many times can you talk about the weather or listen to stories about their wonderful spouse and wonderful kids and wonderful house and wonderful jobs and etc etc. I successfully managed to avoid people for a whole hour, when my wife had to go back home because our daughter woke up and won’t go back to sleep.

So my wife leaves and l’m left alone to fend for myself. I evaluate the party environment. There were at least 5 different conversation groups going on at the time – all chatting about how wonderful things were – so none that l wanted to get involved with. So l head to the bar to get a drink. As l’m getting a drink, the Neighbour lady says in a whispery voice: “Bob, can you please pour me a glass of white wine”. I oblige. I pour the neighbour lady a glass of wine. As l’m handing her the glass of wine, someone bumps me, and some wine spills over onto my fingers.
Neighbour lady says, “Waste not want not.” Then proceeds to take my fingers and put them in her mouth. The wine is expertly removed from my fingers and neighbour lady say ‘Thanks Bob” and leaves.

I was like ‘What just happened?” I think l stared at my fingers for a few seconds hoping they would reveal some answers – but none were forthcoming.

Conversations at a party

Posted on June 15, 2007 by 7aki Fadi

Engaged to be married guy: Lately I only listen to older songs. The older songs bring back good memories . I don’t seem to like new songs or to associate them to any feelings!

Married guy for 9 years: Well, the reason you don’t listen to new songs is because after getting married or engaged there are no more good memories to remember!

7aki (who has been married for 6sih years) to married guy for 9 years: HAHAHAHA….. OH MY God that is soooo true.

Married guy for 9 years: HAHAHAHA .. for real! All my good memories are before I got married!

Engaged to be married guy was not laughing at all and got border line depressed.

7aki to married guy for 9 years: I am soooo gonna blog this!

Engaged to be married guy: Older songs remind me of going clubbing.

Married guy for 9 years: why don’t you go clubbing?

Engaged to be married guy: I only go if my fiancé goes

7aki: And let me guess, your fiancé does not want to go and she used to go before?

Engaged to be married guy: Yup.

7aki: So let me guess again, she got the ring and stopped clubbing?

Engaged to be married guy: Yup

7aki and Married guy for 9 years: HAHAHAHAHA…. Embrace your future man, embrace it!

Engaged to be married guy was not laughing at all and got border line depressed

Another conversation at another table …..

Boss who has been married for 15+ years to guy who is buying a house and moving in with his girlfriend: How old are you ? 25?

Guy who is buying a house and moving in with his girlfriend: No I’m not, I am 32!

Boss who has been married for 15+ years: Wow you look younger than 32!

7aki to guy who is buying a house and moving in with his girlfriend: You want my advice? Don’t get married because it will instantly add 10 years to your age!

Boss who has been married for 15+ years: HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH ….. And don’t have kids either! Because when kids come oh boy!

7aki: Yeah, with every kid add on another 3 years.

Boss who has been married for 15+ years: HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH

Guy who is buying a house and moving in with his girlfriend was not laughing at all.

Married people love to torture married to be’s its sooooo much fun!

Your most worthy opponent is you

Posted on June 13, 2007 by 7aki Fadi

I was riding on the subway today and the guy sitting next to me was wearing a T-Shirt that said:

“Your most worthy opponent is you”

It got me thinking to how true this statement is!

How many times we don’t do something because we think we can’t?

How many times a woman gets abused by her husband and chooses to stay because she thinks she can’t make it on her own and decides to leave after it’s too late?

How many times do people dream of doing great things and when the first obstacle comes they just quit?

How many times a mother stands and does nothing knowing that her child is being abused by someone close for fear of losing her partner?

How many times ……..

It makes me sick how humans are so weak sometimes.

For me, I let my opponent win when I don’t speak up when I know I need to. I hate myselfs guts afterwards. But I am working on it and getting much better .

Do you remember a time when your opponent won?
