Cirque du soleil

i'm off to dubai this weekend and i'll be watching the cirque du soleil show - alegria



i've only seen one show before, which is quidam




they say alegria is one of the best they have, so i'm kind of psyched




i'll just never understand how they can bend like that, it's like they have no bones...

Music help

so i'm building a playlist for a marathon i'm planning to run next month, and i have some pretty good tracks on there but i need some help


there are songs that seem to be made for running, whenever i listen to them i feel like my pace naturally picks up and i feel more energetic, like:

- shut up and drive
- bleeding heart
- pump it
- lose my breath
- fast car
- inifinity 2008

what else should i add ?

ps- i've switched the font to green, i thought it was time for a change

MOM

what does the word MOM mean to u ?

if u're thinking "minutes of meeting," then u have serious problems and need to chill

happy mother's day ;)

Make your debut album

this is actually kind of cool... i saw it on facebook and am starting as a tag here...



How to make your own random album cover:

STEP 1 - NAME OF YOUR ARTIST/BAND
Go to "Wikipedia.com", hit "Random Article" (or just click the following link)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first random Wikipedia article is "The name of your Artist/Band".

STEP 2 - ALBUM NAME
Go to "Quotationspage.com", then click on "Random quotations" (or just click the following link)
http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the "Title of your first album".

STEP 3 - ALBUM ART
Go to Flickr.com, click on "Explore", then click on "The last seven days" (or just click the following link)
http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days
Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

STEP 4 - PUT IT TOGETHER
Crop the image to a square format. Use Photoshop or similar programs to put the text together in any way you like.

Now it's your turn: i tag mosan, pokyface, shwaish, N., plastic, Abdullah , chika, and whomever else feels like it

From Russia with love

we've all noticed the growing presence of Russians in dubai lately. well i found this note plastered in my hotel room and thought it was pretty funny (click to enlarge):


basically hotel management is politely asking hotel guests to dress appropriately and in line with the country's culture and traditions. i wonder what they saw in order to feel compelled to write such a note !
