#42 ~ Warning: Long-ish BSG Post

-
Due mostly to my unemployment status, I got to play BSG twice this week, an average of 6 hours per game. Let me put it in perspective for you. If you're the type of person who buys lottery tickets, that's like winning twice this week. If you're a single guy (or a married man), it's like scoring. Twice. With the same woman or not, doesn't matter. If you're a kid, it's like having a birthday party and getting awesome gifts, twice in one week. If you're a girly girl, it's like having a shopping budget and discovering the things you wanted to buy were 50% off. Twice. You get my drift. 

This is where most of the action happens. If you happen to be in this restaurant, and you haven't seen all 4 seasons of BSG, do not, DO NOT open the drawers of their tables, because you will, I repeat, YOU WILL BE DISAPPOINT. Let's just say one of those drawers contain major spoilers. It's our own version of geo-caching. 




You know what happens when you and only one other friend in the group is obsessed with BSG, and you and this friend happen to be obnoxious about it? Your other friends [aka civilians] at some point begin to either watch the show, or play the board game with you, or at the very least, learn (and use!) the context of terms like "brig",  "viper", "raptor", "fleet jump", and "Baltar".

I love this game. So much betrayal. In space.






We have slowly but deliberately been crossing BSG with real life. The Pact of Thirty-Three is just one of the many ways we have done this. Wanna know what the pact is about? Easy. Just watch the show, and then contact me if you live in Jeddah. Do it.

And now, here is the BSG video of the week. Warning: Jizzing might occur. A change of pants is strongly recommended.

    This is a reasonable demand, and therefore, it shall be done.

Happy Valentine's Day, Bebi!  All the way from Jeddah. Coz Bebi, WE ARE CLEAR. While most of the world is celebrating love and commercialism, our Hay2a is busy prowling the streets ( again ) for businesses and individuals participating in this love-mongering, and preaching against this day. In the process, they have unwittingly been raising more awareness and promoting this holiday. Hilarity ensues. Great job on defeating your purpose(s)! On a lighter note, here's a great post from Sharifa's photo blog , and here is a song from the Backstreet Boys, for is there not a better time to unleash the boyband ballads than on an equally mushy day? You agree with me, of course. Enjoy! And if you're one-half of a couple, remember never to compare your relationship to others (because that's very unfair and stupid), and always make time to spend with each other.

Eleanor.

I got a pretty inspiring quote from a friend today. It goes: "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." - Eleanor Roosevelt Now, that's quite true. A little insensitive to the little details of the things, people and situations that make someone feel inferior, but sure, she might truly be on to something here. The quote implies that everyone has (and can) control everything that goes on in their lives. That is of course, misleading. Human relationships and the human mind are both very complex and so intertwined that there is no way for anyone to be in full control of what or who makes them feel inferior. Therefore, it is important to remember that these quotes are not to be followed religiously in all aspects all the time. Think of it as a reminder to be aware of the things you can control so you may control them, and to eliminate those things you are able to eliminate so that you are not made to feel inferior. Eliminate. What will you be eliminating?

Fear vs Faith

-
We don't always know where our faith lies. Or even what it looks like. Or if it's ever enough to sustain us. We stumble around in our meaningless existence, with our gadgets and that endless babble of apps running in the background, straining against religion. "We are atheists!", we cry. Silently. We are not for the rigid walls of any religion, we don't subscribe to these restrictions, these violations on our freedom, these killings of our true selves. We are young, we are invincible. We are such strong people. We are so strong we refer to ourselves in the collective. There is no abstract idea that can break us, not words, not heartbreak, not betrayal, not fate nor any series of unfortunate events. Except maybe something so basic and so physical as literal, unbearable pain. And only then do we draw on our faith. "God SURELY wouldn't give me anything I wouldn't be able to handle. For He is All-Compassionate, He is Most Merciful." ...

Band-Aided.

When they said that Band-Aid s could fix anything, I didn't really believe it. Early this year, (a few months after I bought my laptop Olaf), I dropped my phone charger on it and the thin layer glossed over it acquired a tiny crack. Over time, the crack got bigger. I resisted the urge to put a sticker over it, mainly because the reason I loved Olaf so much was how minimalist and white it was. Anything would've distracted from this. Besides, there isn't a sticker cool enough to be on the cover of Olaf. (Yes, I mother it to death.) However, it really got worse. I had to do something. The solution? A nice kiddie adhesive bandage that I can remove anytime (in the event that I get tired of looking at it) without causing the crack to expand. Yes, Band-Aid AND Snoopy are always the best solutions. *** You know how sometimes you say the stupidest thing, and you realize that AS SOON AS YOU SAY IT, at that exact moment when you just can't take it back? Man, I hate that feeling. ...
