PS3..It is Here

My kids were very excited when PS3 was released, but I wouldn't spend the night waiting in line in front of Best Buy in the freezing wheather to get it. Well, those who got it did exactly that. Next day the salesman at best buy gave me a weird look when I asked if any PS3 are available. Several weeks passed by and no PS3 available anywhere. So the kids settled for the Wii. I thought that would actually suit me quite well as the Wii is half the price of PS3. So I headed to the store and there it was. A new shipment of PS3 arrived that day and 5 remaining. I grabbed one and headed home to the excited kids. I am not a video games fan but this thing rocks.

لعبة خطرة

الوقت - مازن مهدي

لقي طفل بحريني يبلغ من العمر 12 عاما مصرعه عصر أمس وذلك بعد ان هوى من علو ثلاثة طوابق أثناء قفزه من احد أسطح العمارات في العدلية.وكان الطفل يحاول القفز إلى سطح عمارة مجاورة اعتاد وزملاؤه القفز منها واليها إلا انه فقد توازنه وسقط يوم أمس ما أدى إلى وفاته في موقع الحادث على رغم جهود إسعاف مجمع السلمانية الطبي لإنقاذ حياته حيث تعرض لنزيف داخلي وإصابة بليغة في الرأس. هذا وقد بدأت شرطة أمن العاصمة تحقيقا في ملابسات وفاة الطفل

.

أنتهى الخبر.. ومعه انتهت حياة طفل في مغامرة لا معنى لها, ولا طائل ورائها وأنتهت بمأساة.

وما يغيض أن مغامرة القفز الأخيرة لم تكن الاولى بل كانت الاولى التي فشلت. ومعها فشلت محاولة أنقاده

أين الأهل من هذه اللعبة

وهل نحتاج لمأساة تذكرنا بابجديات المسؤولية؟

ملا أحمد بن حسن أبو العيش

....

طيبة تمشي على قدمين

....

أرضعته أمه حب الحسين

فعشق المراثي

وابكت عيناه كربلاء

....

لم يرى في الاخرين الا أحسن ما فيهم

كأنه في زمن لامكان فيه للكذب

لامكان فيه لكره أو ضغينة

زمن غير الذي نعرف

....

أحب كل الناس فاحبوه

وغاب عنهم فافتقدوه

فقد كان طيبة تمشي على قدمين

....

يرحمك الله يا أبا محسن

Winter in Ramadan

I was surprised when Ali told me that they are working on two Ramadan songs in the 6th grade Orchestra; Winter in Ramadan and El Hawa Fi Ramadan. He asked if I know them, I shock my head. I told Him I know Ramadan Gana (here it comes Ramadan) but he was not iterested in that one.

In the same week, Hesham came with lots of 9th grade homework about Hajj, an assignment to conclude commandments for muslems from 24 Quran verses and prophet last speech . It was a good apportunity for me to work with him and discuss issues that we seldom talk about in a structured way. Anchorage school district; thank you.

-It's nice weather today
I said to my wife as I got home from work
-That is exactly what Hesham said as he came from school.
-Then the weather must have been really nice

Did I forget to say that the temperature was 34F (1 C)!
See, it is all relative.

Yes.. It was Hacked

-So, what shall I do? call animal control?

-NO

-So what do you suggest?

-Get your phone and ......take a picture
