When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

How does it feel

Only in Egypt
"If you find someone dying in Egypt, you better feel sorry and leave."
2 days ago on my usual trip to smart village with Nafea, we found a huge crowd blocking the street, it was an accident... A lady hit some upper Egyptian worker and broke his knee...
We stopped shouted at the crowd that was only good for watching and giving random advice, leaving the guy in the middle of the street while cars were hurling around. We carried him to Nafea's car and had him in the back seat to get him to a hospital.
By that time, a police officer has arrived and accused us for hitting him, once he was assured we are not the ones, he asked us either to leave him where we found him or to drop him alone a bit far from the hospital because if we delivered him to the hospital we are gonna automatically be accused of running him over...
Not knowing what to do, we called the ambulance that came 25 minutes late. But at least I realized why people where only talking without caring to drive him to the hospital...
Result: the poor guy waited for whole 45 minutes, with his broken knee, crying like 5 years old girl with guys around only to give advice and feel sorry. Sheri and I... We got scolded for arriving late...
Where people claim to be helpful and supportive, people get screwed for driving an injured person to the hospital.

RESET Complex
The Reset Complex: is perfection seeking, not through the trying harder, but rather through the trying again/start over principle.
This complex has been named after the heavenly ever-best option that Computers/Operating Systems/Information Systems provide; Reset option that usually switches off then starts up a system and recover the last successful state... Often used as an option to cover system fuck-ups.
Reset complex is logically expected to be found in computer freaks. People who exploit the fact that they can always start over a game/system once their score/status is not preferable...
No remedy was identified for this complex yet. If you know one, please let me know as soon as possible.

Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
Father McKenzie writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near
Look at him working, darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there
What does he care?
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Eleanor Rigby died in the church and was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father McKenzie wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved
All the lonely people (Ah, look at all the lonely people)
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people (Ah, look at all the lonely people)
Where do they all belong?

Fun Worx
Work couldn't be possibly more fun...
Friday morning 10:30 all alone, came in 30 min from Heliopolis to smart village, with sherif (VPER in @AUC) to meet Nermin (CU AIESEC Alumni.)
Currenlty doing the shitties killing-boring adminstrative stuff, while listening to the most random music on my laptop on the loudest volume. Being alone in your working place is just awesome...
Currently we are deciding on which desk we are gonna dance on, on the coming break...

Blogs are Improper Content in Egypt
TeData, the largest IP based Services provider, company majorly owned by the government has blocked Blogger.com due to improper content.

I don't want to start whinning about freedom of speech, but blogs are tools for everything, could be used to riot, or for just random diary writing (that we call reflection :-P ) as almost all of us do... Not mentioning that rioting is fine in the first place
Reminds me of Taliban burning TVs and Movie Theatres sometime ago, because These are potentially evil tool.
