There’s some things that’ve been happening for the past few days and I always say, “Heeeey, this’ll be a good thing to write on LJ!”
Then I forget, which makes having a memory like mine extremely frustrating. But now that I actually remembered a few things, I will not hesitate another moment and will thus record it for all to read! Bwahahahahahaha!
I just showed Sitto (Grandma) the Gary Brolsma version of Dragostea Din Tei (sp?) a.k.a: Numa Numa.
She thought it was hilarious. She almost laughed herself to tears all the way through it.
She also thinks that Americans are crazy.
I still don’t get tired of the guy. I swear he’s one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen. Just the playfulness of it all, no acting, just all-out insanity and grooviness.
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAAHAAAAAAAAAAA!
Love that dude.
If you have no idea what I’m talking about, just Google “Numa Numa” and you’ll know. Though, you ought to have at least heard of it by now.
There are four things that I could stare at all day and probably never get bored:
Babies.
Baby animals.
Animals in general.
Children.
Like I could just sit down with a bunch of kittens and have them jump all over me and snuggle into my lap and I’d be the happiest person in the world. Or watch kids play around and interact with one another…I love to just sit and observe, taking it all in.
Come to think of it, I dreamed about kittens last night.
Anyways….yeah. Just a thought.
I actually have three completely random things in mind to post today. That should make this journal entry interesting and unpredictable. If any readers find that it is neither, then please tug your ears and dance like a one-legged goose in the middle of the highway. If you’d like to know my reasons behind such an odd request, well…isn’t it obvious? It’s because it would entertain me. Now, moving on:
#1: My sister, Lana, recieved her Canadian citizenship today! *Parties*
It’s been five years and she finally got it! She had a jerk for a judge (the person who looks through your documents and sees if you pass on to the citizenship ceremony or not.) He asked her stupid meaningless questions, but she made it through. Congratulations Canada on your new citizen! And congratulations Lana for officially becoming a fellow Canadian! It’s about time you joined the fold! *Hands you a “I Am Canadian and Therefore I’m Better Than You” badge.*
#2: Lebanon Vs. Japan
I’m not one to talk about sports and stuff, but yesterday I watched the Olympics basketball match between Lebanon and Japan. Japan’s team was freaking fast and their technique was really good. Lebanon was doing a not-too-shabby job of catching up–and even surpassed Japan by a point for a while–but the Japanese kept scoring ahead. The end result was that Lebanon lost by eleven points. : – (
I forgot the exact score but it was something like Lebanon scoring in the 50’s and Japan in the 60’s. The thing is, Lebanon has a really fantastic basketball team–they won the championship two years ago. But because of the war in summer they didn’t have the chance to train. So I commend them highly for putting up a really good fight against their much-better trained opponents. Losing by only eleven points in an Olympic game when you’ve only had three or four chances to train is not bad. Not bad at all.
Good news: They did win with a score of over a hundred points against another team…I just forgot which one it was, which makes me ashamed. I’ll find out sooner or later.
#3: People of Qatar! People ofLebanon! People of Areas that Don’t Know What Child Safety and Seatbelts Are!
You are NOT doing your child any favors by putting him on your lap while you’re in the driver’s seat on a busy roundabout! You are NOT loving your child when you let him walk around unrestrained in the front, or letting him stick half his body out of an open window. Holding your five-month-old baby on your lap in the passenger seat is BAD. Get a goddamn child-seat so that if, Heaven forbid, you crash your baby will not end up a flattened bloody mess as a result of passing through the damned windshield! No matter how strong your love, you will NOT be able to keep your baby safe in your arms in a collision! If he doesn’t fly through the windshield, your weight thrown forward (because I don’t see YOU wearing a seatbelt) would probably crush him.
Five-seater cars are meant for FIVE people! Not eight! Not ten! It is not a praiseworthy feat to stick five adults in a car with a child on each of their laps, another child in between the parents and a baby in the passenger seater’s arms! Is it also going to kill you if you’re in a five-seater with only two kids in the back to tell them to buckle up? Do you like the fact that if you’re involved in an even relatively minor crash they could easily fly out of their seats and hit their heads on the ceiling? Or worse, butt heads with you? WHAT THE HELL IS THE MATTER WITH YOU PEOPLE?!
If you don’t want to wear your seatbelt, that’s fine. You’re an adult and responsible for the ways you like to endanger your life. However I’ll have you know it makes me boil to death inside when I see a bunch of five-year-olds running rampant inside of the car or sticking their heads and most of their bodies out the window. One time I saw a mom in the passenger seat with an unrestrained toddler on her lap–and the backseat was EMPTY! ARGH!
Stupid parents make me mad.
And that’s all I have to say.
Thank you for listening.
Don’t eat rotten fish carcasses. They will turn your stomach and probably kill you. Just so you know. Besides, the Fish Government may arrest you for improper disposal of a rotting body.
The 15th Annual Asian Olympics Opening Ceremony?
All I can say is that it was a really spectacular event…it went over four hours! But it was amazing, amazing, amazing…I thought the rain would dampen the mood or even disrupt some of the performances, but it stopped in just in time. There were so many things going on, so many dances, songs, performers, colors and culture…all in one stadium. And in the teeny nation of Qatar…who would have thought?
I’d give more details, but let me get my thoughts together. All I wanted to say is that I didn’t regret a single minute of the whole show, and I’m so proud of Qatar for being able to pull off something so big and make it look so beautiful and worth every penny.
