La Verita
I am a half kuwaiti/half american girl living in Kuwait.
I am perpetually suspended in the granite hollow that fills the space between two worlds...
Not quite who I am, not quite who I want to be... Cat-lover, poet, music-nut.
I currently hold a PHD in both BS and Smartass. In short, I pitch my tent in the median of life..

Ramadan Kareem or Every Man for Himself?
Is it just me or does Ramadhan tend to bring out the worst in people??
Bazaar just came out and in my top ten list this month, I wrote down that one thing I love about this month is how much calmer it makes everyone seem... And you know what? I used to believe that... (Does anyone but me notice that the word believe contains the word 'lie' right in the middle of it?? spooky!) Anyway, I believed it up until last night when I encountered the most horrific and blood-boiling traffic jam I have ever been in.
It was on al-bidi3 road.. the traffic was stopped at the al-rumaithiya light and NOBODY was moving... I swear, I was four cars from the light and the light must have changed twenty times without us even moving an inch!! What the hell?? At first, I thought maybe the traffic was backed up from the al-bidi3 circle (what with all the construction going on) but noooooooo... it was backed up for no discernable reason! There were cops parked in the middle of the road and they were trying to direct traffic, but only ended up making it worse....
We must have sat at the light for thirty minutes and of course kuwaitis, with their infinite patience, were climbing over the divider (i6igoon ri9eef!) and forcing everyone to get out of their way. This chick (I'd call her something else, but I'm fasting) just rammed into my car! She had been sitting behind me for the last fifteen minutes, we hadn't moved an inch, I was in PARK and she rams into me! I was too upset to even get out of the car and see what happened so I ignored it. Then, to add insult to injury, when we finally got moving this car swerves into me (As if he/she can't see my big-a** gold GMC) and scraps off a piece of my bumper!! What the hell, people??
Ramadhan is supposed to be about forgiveness and high morals so I let both of the idiots who rammed me off without so much as an obscene hand gesture... Allah Kareem... But I ain't driving anywhere but to work and Starbucks ( Anything for Starbucks :D) for the rest of the month!

Oh wow, il7amdillah 3alasalama!
Glad it was just a bump. I know what you mean about traffic though and the selfish nature of our fellow citizens. I blame it on:
Government: For spoiling all of its citizens
Schools & Education system: For not enforcing discipline in a healthy way with regards to respect for the law, other ppl etc
The Family Units: For not intilling some manners, respect for other human beings, patience and forgiveness in their own children...
Is it any wonder why they grow up to be so dysfunctional? I dont know... we are primitive... its sad.
Do you want to laugh? Once this girl rammed me from the back. She wouldn't come down and see the damage, and neither would I. So il7ilwa tries to come up in front of me so she can park away from the za7ma she made. And she scrapes off MY BUMPER from the front o makes an even worse dent then the first one. So she basically d3amatny min wara o jidam!
