I Like, or liked or not or never or beyond or in between

Nov 30 2008 Published by Moos under Thinking out loud, daily stuff

Well, there was this movie I seen one time… ok ok! I’m gonna start again…

So there is this girl… that I like, actually I don’t know how I feel now… maybe say, rejected? no cuz I wasn’t… anyway, I knew this girl since college days… and in the last few times I saw this girl I realized that I like her…

I know what you’re thinking! actually I don’t, anyway… So Mr Moos tries approaching this girl… wow! right?

I’m not the kind of guys who wants to fuck around or anything, I was very serious about this… wanting it to work out really good… just get to know each other more then see what happens…

So after one of them gatherings I send a msg saying *rephrasing of course* “Hey, everyone had fun today. We should do this more often : ) ” … no reply

All the conversations on the MSN messenger were really short with the “how’s life?” or ending up by me saying something and waiting for a reply… we rarely ended a conversation with “bye” or “see ya” or even “ttyl”… not to mention she doesn’t log on much to the messenger…

Anyways, to cut a short story shorter, separated by a few weeks I sent her about 2 or 3 msgs on facebook… ok 4! one of them was about something she asked me for,  certain lyrics for a certain song… The other 3 were me trying to talk about some things that she was interested in, or at least thought so… anyway… these msgs get no reply, not even a “thank you” … not even “Don’t send me msgs again”… nothing…

And when I see her sometimes “rarely”, she never mentions anything about those msgs or anything and she is as friendly as ever… which is in my case very confusing… I don’t get it really? Is this a nice way of saying no? or is she still waiting for me to make the first move? how can I ask her out or anything if I don’t sense a welcome! was all that just blocking? I mean a “thank you” would be OK…

I was just trying, just to test the water or whatever they say… Maybe it’s my fault from the begining… no it wasn’t… Do you people think I did anything wrong? I don’t think trying to approach someone is… unless you get really obvious signs and keep on trying… like not replying to my msgs wasn’t obvious!!

yeah…

So I guess we’ll just stay friends… A friend of mine told me to get over it, so I said that nothing started so I get over it! you know what I’m saying…

This girl is really nice, cute and very smart… not to mention that she has a beautiful smile… and smells nice…

I know “AWWWWWWWW!!” I know I know…

Don’t get me wrong people… I wish this girl the best in life and hope she lives the life she desires…

So I guess I better leave it and listen to music instead, as always… I just found out about Phil Ochs’ music… a brilliant forgotten singer\songwriter… God bless his soul

This is my second published short story, published in AlRai newspaper

مَسير

أتذكر يوما مضى عليه الكثير، عندما سرنا معا، على التراب، أنا و هو. كنا نسير باتجاه أصابع أقدامنا، و لا تحدد الشمس طريقنا، و لا يعترض القمر على مشينا … أتذكر ذلك اليوم.

و نحن نسير يقسم لي بأنه قد رآه يبتسم له، و بأنه كان عظيما. كنا نعد خطواتنا فننسا أننا نسير، فننسى عدد خطواتنا. و نكمل المسير. أعتقد بأنه كان يفضل البقاء. لا يريد اللحاق بي و لكنه يلحقني و لازلت أعتقد بأنه كان يفضل البقاء.

لا نشم رائحة شيء، و لا نخجل من ذلك. يقسم لي بأنه رآه يبتسم له، و فاقت عظمته كل شيء. يهمس لي بأنه لن يقع. و لم يقع.

يتغير بسرعة و لا يبقى على حال واحد. مكافح.

تعترينا نشوة نحاول فهمها و لا نزال نسير. تتسارع خطانا و تتسارع دقائقنا.

ينطلق في نفس الاتجاه و يسبقني. يتوقف. لا يلتفت. يقسم لي بأنه يرآه يبتسم له.

أتخطاه و أكمل نحو هناك. يلحقني. لا يعلم شيء. ربما كان يجب أن يبقى.

ألتفت فيتوقف و يبتسم لي. قررت العودة.

يكمل هو الطريق.

Sooooo in love with this all over again… I also love Junizon’s covers… she has a sweet voice, and another one by Mel Plant

We Don’t Live Here No More by John Denver

Make believe your on a boat with no water around.
Picture yourself at a circus, without any clowns.
Pretend that you’re on a highway, without any end.

Then empty the ashtray,
Sweep up the floor,
Put a lock on your door.
If somebody calls in the morning,
Just say we don’t live here no more.

Draw me a picture of an island without any seas.
Show me a map of the whole
world without boundaries.
Build me a home without windows or doors to go in.

Then empty the ashtray,
Sweep up the floor,
Put a lock on your door.
If somebody calls in the morning,
Just say we don’t live here no more.

Dream of a time when the tides
ebbing now rise again.
Then you will know that to die
is not really to end.
Living and dieing are both your
most intimate friends.

So empty the ashtray,
Sweep up the floor,
Put a lock on your door.
If somebody calls in the morning,
Just say we don’t live here no more.

If somebody calls in the morning,
Just say we don’t live here no more.

the cover by Junizon… so sweet…

Catching up… and down…

Yesterday was the last Othello performance, it went really well I think. We got lots of good reviews from people… of course no one will say it was bad! they’ll keep it to themselves, right? but things really went well, and we had people waiting on the gates for tickets for the last 2 days… it was overbooked, at least that was what I heard ;)

I didn’t go to the gym in 2 weeks. And been eating lots of fast food during the rehearsals… what would you eat if you have a 45 minutes break and there’s no decent restaurants next to the British embassy of course, so hello Souq Sharq food court!! I think I gained a lot of weight…. not that I’m worried, but I was really eating wayed wayed and not going to the gym, so you do the math… or you do the fat :p

I still have the last 30 pages of a book I’m reading and didn’t finish it yet, it’s been maybe 4 weeks wallah. I still have lots of projects coming up, 3 short films and an ad for TV… busy busy busy… I haven’t watched a film in a few weeks ba3ad, which is very critical in my case… I miss movie nights in my place, specially the ones that Hussain falls asleep during, it’s an indication that the film is really good… this rating system is better than any other ;)

My brother is getting better, and he’ll be out of the hospital hopefully next Thursday… I really miss him… and glad he’ll be out

I would like also to thank Reemi for organizing the films screening in KU this morning, and thanx to all our friends who came and I hope they enjoyed their time… of course they did!!

After that I went out to lunch with Nada, we had lots of things to talk about and I really had a great time… Thanx Nada, next time is on ME! :)

Ok, people you really gotta see this… I never thought that Steven Seagal can sing to save his life, whatever that means… but really? Steven Seagal? Singing? I’m really surprised… he’s actually not bad… actually good and better than lots of the shit that’s on MTV and the radio
