The Irony Of Fame:

To be treated by the irony of fame; to stop his breath at a time when it should not stop; and how much the public liked him; and how many times he appeared to show himself; and how much the people appreciated him; then all of a sudden the news that he is breathing no more; that he should not be expected on stage anymore.

Imagine how he felt; imagine what was the end of his career; imagine the expectations of his fans, his friends, his family, his audience; they did not expect that they would have to feel his absence.

The irony of fate which is just the opposite of the irony of his fame. May God bless his soul, may God give tranquility to his spectators who are watching the screen and wishing for this person to be on the screen and with that; God bless that soul.

Oh no, oh no. Aye, irony of fate, was that your expectation? The destruction of all his hopes? To terminate even the hopes of his audience? To terminate his life? May God bless his soul. We didn’t get a chance to say goodbye to the beauty on the stage. What hopes he had are now all gone. Fare thee well and God’s speed, Michael. From Him we come and unto Him we shall all return.

This is Tribute No. 1 to the memory of Michael Jackson who had passed away on June 25 2009 in L.A. and this was written by Retro's Grandfather!

The U.A.E's First Case of Swine Flu:

Everyone is advised to stay away from Miss Piggy due to the outbreak of the Swine Flu

News reports say that the swince flu (H1N1 Virus) has spread through out the world affecting many people and places. The following places have been infected with this serious disease:

• Mexico (the place where it all began)
• New York City (they had to close down many schools and they had to quarantine many areas)
• Texas
• The U.K (even in all the airports people are starting to wear masks)
• China (this sounds like such a cliche that they would get it and in the end they did)
• Japan 
• France (Sacre Bleu!)
• Spain (Que?!)
• Italy (Mama Mia, how did that happen?)
• Kuwait (Dubai's next door neighbors)
• Bahrain
• Germany (oh man that sucks)
• Israel (stupid Jews, thats what you get for being a stupid Jew)
• Peru
• Costa Rica 
• New Zealand (that's it I'm not buying anymore steaks from Spinneys. Most of their steaks are from New Zealand)
• Ireland (oh no, one of my friends is half Irish :O and my cousin is over there!!!!!!)
• South Korea 
• Canada 
• Austrailia (just like my mother's friend who I gave her a nickname "Pig", you see now Austrailia is infected just because of her)
• The U.A.E.

All of these places and many more to come but could you believe that Dubai has actually confirmed the first case of the swine flu virus (H1N1). This is really tragic but not many people seem to care about it. I guess once everyone has got a chance to read the front page of the Gulf News then they will understand what has happened. And yes Dubai has revealed the first case of the swince flu virus. You can read more about it over here for more informaton. Check out Gulf News for all the details as well as Yahoo.

Will Wright Resigns:

I was just browsing MTS2 (Mod The Sims 2) and I clicked on the Modern Stuff Pack Download. The creator "The Sims Supply" has a great website that has a bunch of news on The Sims 2 and their creators. It seems that Will Wright is officially resigning from EA Games. As he quotes "Will Wright has announced he is resigning and Lucy Bradshaw is the new head". Check out the article over here and comment on what you think about it. Also in case any of you have noticed you should be registered on blogspot in order to comment on this blog.

Also I would like to point out that The Sims 2 might not be over, I think it's not over but I don't know. Anyways I am disappointed with EA because this game was supposed to be out THIS February but unfortunately it's not going to be released because it's possible that EA never finished making The Sims 3, but who knows. Also expect a major update tomorrow!

The Sims 3 is Officially Delayed:

The game is delayed for the next few weeks. So Expect it to be released in 1 month!

Here is what's going on in Gaza

Now this just sucks, Israel is being really unfair. Just look at what they're doing to the poor people in Gaza. They're cutting power, gas, food supplies, medicine supplies and a lot of other supplies. Now this just has to stop here but what are we going to do about it?


The UN tried helping Gaza but it's not working out. They even called Israel and asked them to stop and those bloody b******s refused to do that. I think they want to obliterate Gaza. And Now the Americans are on the Israelis side. Everyone in the world is upset!



Here's what to do. Everyone must boycott the following things:

1. Starbucks - Yes this is the evil of all things. Most of the money that Starbucks makes is being sent to Israel to go and buy weapons. So try and avoid drinking coffee here. I would recommend Second Cup or any other Coffee Shop.
2. Mc Donalds - Those stupid Americans are making everyone's lives more difficult. Just look at the picture of the Gazanian girl above
3. And finally AVOID watching Adam Sandler's movie Bedtime Stories- Adam Sandler is sending half of his money to Israel so that the Israelis can kill the people in Gaza. Now we just need to stop doing these things for the next few days or possibly weeks!
   

Gloomy Days

Today I've noticed is one of the gloomiest days ever. I've never seen any day gloomier than today. Except from 3 years ago when my *sigh* grandma passed away. It was gloomy for quite sometime during that year.
I think I came up with the solution why this day (Tuesday, January 6, 2009). First thing is that there is a war in Gaza and the situation doesn't look good at all. These stupid Israelis are attacking Gaza as if there is no tomorrow. The UN tried stopping them but it's not working at all. So Gaza is screwed. The second thing, the people in Dubai seem to be really quiet for some odd reason. I'm not sure why everyone in this place seem to be acting sad. It's like they're mindless drones that just feel like killing themselves. The third thing is that one of my best friends ( I won't say who) is having some problems at home.
Could this day get any worse? I ask myself that. YES it will. My Grandfather today was bitching about me using the phone for a long time (which was for about exactly 6 minutes) and he's arguing with me that blah blah blah I talk a lot on the phone. Well screw that. I am not going to take any more of this bull crap. Hmm what am I going to do about my current situation?

Oh yeah and to make this even worse, you should see how sick (not as in I have the flu or something) of being on this f***ing Atkins diet. It's not even working. My mom thinks that I'm gaining weight. I don't know how I'm gaining weight when the ONLY thing I'm eating is a lot of vegetables and very little chicken and beef. WTF is this rubbish. And I ask myself, when will all this be over?


The answer is never :(


I know I shouldn't be saying things like this but now I don't even give a rats ass about this!

Dido Update: Contest Over!

Now this is totally unfair. I DIDN'T win the contest to go and meet Dido :( but they did however mention that there is a bidding for the contest which unfortunately ended about a few hours ago :(
just read the following article:
"As we revealed last week, Dido is hosting a very special playback of Safe Trip Home this weekend at a secret location. The competition to win tickets (plus travel and accommodation) has now closed, but you can still be there (and get your accommodation paid for) by bidding in a special charity auction for Oxfam, which is currently underway on eBay.

Click here to place your bid.

(Oh, and we can reveal that the location is somewhere in Buckinghamshire, England...) "

That was taken from Dido's site!
