IN Digestion

For the longest time now, I have been unable to fall asleep quickly (unless I am physicall exhausted).  Otherwise the sleep is very scattered and filled with weird thoughts and lots of just ’staying awake’ while trying to sleep. I can literally lie in bed from 10ish 11ish 12ish until 2-ish, 3ish-4ish.

The upside is I get to spend most of that time in my own little world. (to be honest, most of the day time is probably spent like that also) but its sur-real when your lying in bed, and your trying to sleep and you can’t, and its practically impossible for you to do anything else (get up, etc.) or be distracted by anything or anyone. Between last night, and this morning, All I have eaten is loaves of bread! In my surreal world it was actually pretty wicked. (I love bread). In practical terms eating that much bread hurts your stomach…

Sleeping is fun, I hate waking up I HATE HATE HATE waking up

According to Adee, 5JDS WERE SPENT ON BREAKFAST ONE DAY. - But more interestingly then that, one day, someone wanted to goto Burger King (in jordan) - and they did not leave and would not leave until he:

1. Went to someones house, and washed his hair.
2. Blow Dryed it Straight (it’s curly)
3. Waxed it

Then he felt like he could goto Burger King -

I had dinner/lunch with my wife’s co-workers the last two days, and it dawned on me - that there are some odd similarites and dissimilarities between our jobs that kinda crack me up.

Similarities/Dissimilarities:
1. She was offered/pushed into a job without looking for one. Me too.
2. Her office has ALL guys, My office has ALL girls (for the most part).
3. In her office, she tells others not to listen to music. In my office, others tell ME not to listen to music. (I don’t, but it’s a long story).
4. She is the most religous person in  her office. I am the least religous person in my office. (Comparitvely, since my office is all Salafis, and hers is an entertainment company).
5. She is a MARKETING person working in a Development Company.
6. I am a DEVELOPER working for a Marketing Company.
7. Her office is all about Food (which I am all about).
8. My office is NOT (which she is more about, i.e. not wasting time with food, lunches, etc. and dining together).

And both of our bosses are always always always contracting work out or offering jobs to me and her respectively. (Hamza is always bringing up development projects for me to work on, and Ammar is always hiring her to do marketing stuff).

We should switch jobs, Ha.

Its actually nicer to send my wife to my family as I usually don’t talk to anyone or know ANYTHING and try to spend most of my time looking for loopholes to see if I can get out of the 1,000 commands my mom gives me (by the hour). So I am actually LEARNING about whats going on -

Its so SO much easier to blog if I get interesting emails from mom, dad and fatima - i can just copy and paste them, and its so much more satisfying (to me) and I enjoy reading them more then writing my own blog stuff.

Oh yea and me and Fatima started liking bubble tea cause of Daniel Aljughaifi

(Ill make bold the BEST parts, nevermnd i gave up, its TOO enjoyable of an email and all of it should be bold)
Subject of E-Mail: how i cheated on your cousin (twice) 

ok so samar was all like fatima bhabi you gotta come with me and lets do something together - do you like bubble tea? and im like i love that stuff and shes like lets go - only the problem was car

and she was like lets go watch harry potter - and i was like sorry i made apact with sas we owuldnt watch it - sory, id love to but i cant

THEN a day before i leave i guess your parents figured theyd take me out - so they were like lets see a movie and go to dinner (your dad was like pizza - either he thinks i love pizza because of you or he wanted some lol)

but we’re at the indian store first and your mom had never tried bubble tea but she had heard samar mention it like so many times so shes like fatima lets get bubble tea - and i felt bad for samar so im like oh no aunty its fine it was just somethin gto do im not nuts about it or anything

but she insists - so we go in, i reluctantly buy one(cheat #1), feeling lousy the whole time and your mom ends up ordering 2 of them - one for her, one for your dad (who didnt really like i tlol) and on the way home your moms all like what is thai tea its not really a tea, right - beause its orangish and im like no it is, see there are idfferent teas in the world of different colors/varieties - and im like really aunty my ex used to boil it himself so i saw the tea leaves - and she still doesnt believe me and your dad is pissed like shireen you think you know everything maybe you dont lol

ok so then the food/movie - your dads like waht do you want fatima - and your moms like no pizza - i want gyros, so we went to the mall for gyros - your dad TRIES to be all it’s all about you fatima but you know lol

so we went, but it was a food court - so the gyro guy was from BANGLADESH lol and he was like why you going to sbarros (next door - i was like i cant eat middle eastern food i live in jordan) and he was all saying bismillaah as he cut the meat lol, trying to make us feel bad - he was all surpised i was bengali

ok so then the movie, i TRIED to suggest anything but harry potter - i was like how about sicko - hte micahel moore documentary - i thought itd be the cleanest - and your moms like NO, ONLY HARRY POTTER so your dad and i bow our heads and off we go(cheat #2) lol

it was good though

BUT i cheated on samar twice! i told her later at the party thing - she was a good sport about it actually i guess she’d make a good wife LOL
Assalaamu ‘alaikum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuh.

I have not SEEN my (non-wife-step-kids)family in ages (to be honest the only (non-wife-step-kids)family I have any contact, and/or speak to [on my own]) is:

1. My Mom
2. My dad
3. Nani!

Nani is reading Harry Potter and enjoying it - HA! - but she has an ‘Attitude’ about the Movies, and does not like them. (I think I ACTUALLY opened my mouth when I heard BOTH parts of it) she began because she was at Aisha/Samars? Or Hiba/Amnas and was bored…. And this is an e-mail from Fatima to me with some more updates. All of the ‘top secret’ parts are edited out.

E-Mail Subject: more family stories

Assalaamu ‘alaikum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuh.

There is this tiny little fruit juice and sandwich place on the corener of Gardens and the Madina Circle. I hang out there sometimes because I get free cocktails there. Yesterday Night around 1:30 in the morning, My Boss/Friends car broke down (so its at my place) and since I was going to spend the night with him anyway, we took a taxi after grabbing   a bite to eat from there.

Now, the great thing about this bite (and most bites is), I eat less then EVERYONE except Fatima (we eat the same, but I can eat double her) but I can only eat on average half to 75% of what most other ‘men’ eat. So, After forcing myself to eat some of it, I Had the rest left over for breakfast which I ate when I got into work.

I am allowed to go into work late for a few more weeks, (I am milking the whole hijrah thing to the max) - so I was already not to worried about it but since I was with Ammar last night, and it was late - he said (and hes a stickler for time, anytime I DO SPEND the night withhim, i usually end up coming to work by 8 - (even if we sleep very late) - so yesterday, he actually decided we would not even consider coming to work until after 10.

BAHM! (my gas is going down). Yazan keeps trying to have these ‘feeling’ type talks with me - he should not.

Ok, I HAVE to write down what and why.

Database Managers, Login System and a vision! Makes all the difference in the world, oh and PHP!

But occasionally it does happen. Once for one year, I did not talk to anyone or anything. I was away in my own world, and I gave Salams to my friends.

I am in such a place right now. And I AM NOT SAYING I AM SORRY TO ANYONE I have cursed out in the last forty days because they can’t realize that I just do not find them interesting enough to leave my own world from.  If it lasts for the next few years - so be it. I like being me even at the cost of anyone else and/or their feelings. (and im not really that sad or depressed, I just don’t find anyone or anything interesting, so I am agitated if I am around anyone, or virtually around anyone). (no one takes me seriosly since I joke so much, so that if I say something like i dont like you, its taken as a joke so I have to curse in ten million ways before they realize its true (but then I feel bad while making them feel its true, so I end up making it as if its not true, but then its true anyway, and its a long long shamble and in the end, I still do not get to spend any time totally and completely alone in my own thoughts and in my own head.

I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE having to wake up, or go any where or do anything unless it’s EXACTLY what I want to do WHEN i want to do it. (and RIGHT NOW I AM GOING TO TAKE A SHOWER DAMNIT!).

Fatima is the only exception to this, I am going nuts trying to wait for her to email or call me (I Refuse to call her because I am a jerk) and somehow I keep missing any chance I get and since I am not talking to her anyway, I can’t tell her that I AM WAITING for her to message me.

I am completely and utterly in love and still somehow a jerk even though I have every intention NOT to be one

In my head… Its hard for me to do anything until it makes perfect theoretical sense in my head, but now somethings are starting to actually make sense…

So you should one day see something pretty neat and realize its because of the post I made today.

Besides that, for breakfast I made my own Zaatar Jubn Sandwich - (with bread I purchased the night before).

Living on my own, and having employers who are very easy-going, and being able to tell my only two friends in jordan to ‘gtfo’ of my house on more then one occasion without it really impacting much has led me to fall behind on tons of things.

Mainly, my laptop is the only computer I have here and its all I can use for work -

And I will be embarking on a LARGE project in a few days, and have the only usable code on my laptop, (as well as tons of software the media for which is back in the states) - so I need to find a way to fix alll of my laptop so its somewhat usable again while getting back most of my software… (all of which I have no real idea HOW I am going to do) AS WELL AS start eating somewhat healthy - I have been sick and sick and sick for 3 days straight.
