Another Friendship Pain & Sorrow

I may advice you to leave this blog immediately and stop reading the following post, for i assure you it will bring your mood down.

So how did i end up typing this post to you in Salmiya in Columbus Cafe in Marina Mall after walking for half an hour at 8:36pm instead of going to Caribou Coffee in a car and having some good time maybe with some friends in Al-Raya in the City? I took the driver and went to the hair stylist, on my way one of my friends calls, and he's been bad to me somehow, and i don't wanna say that to him so i just ignore the phone call, later on at BOSS the driver calls saying that my mother asked him not to pick me up cause i should have gone in my car, and she takes the car from him, so I'm stranded in Salmiya, i call some friends, two of them, the first was the one i ignored earlier, and he was mean like always, saying things like "yea I'll call you later on today" when he ends the conversation and then ends up not calling me, i don't know maybe it makes him feel satisfied or something, then my other friend asked me where i was i said "I'm in Salmiya" then he says "Alright take care" and that's it, so i walked from BOSS at the head of Salmiya to Marina Mall at the end of Salmiya with my laptop in my hand, i can't waste time on the streets, so i went there, i walked and walked till i reached my destination and here i am, my mother is mad at me and left me stranded here, my friends gave up on me and have been so mean, and I'm all alone in Columbus cafe, posting on my blog on a Wednesday night in Marina Mall, i want a hug.

Empty Places Distant Faces With No Place Left To Go

Kuwait, it's smaller than it's real size, i reckon we're using 25% of it, and the rest is nothing but vast empty deserts, and even the places with buildings are either deserted or ruined, and over all of that the only places left for us to go to are full of mischief, fights, noise and all the wrong things that would keep a normal human being away. And even those don't offer what we would call Entertainment. Cinemas have fights, loud laughters about anything that has something to do with sexuality and love, be it thighs or kisses, and you'd have a 2 hours movie turned into a 1 hour movie due to the cuts, over all of that the theaters are not updated and the movies they show are 1 good and the rest is bad. Entertainment cities, don't get me started with this. Restaurants are okay, that's why they are winning big time in Kuwait, and new ones show up every week. You want to watch TV but it's all crap. Chalets are full of mischief too unless you're planning on staying inside. Bottom line is, there's nothing to regret or miss once you die in here.

That's why we see the Americanized and the Privatized. Those found their getaway by the following:
  • Getting cable (Show time) and watching American TV shows/series/movies
  • Downloading movies from the internet
  • Playing video games
  • Playing basketball/soccer in their house's backyards
  • Going to Al Corniche Club
  • Going to their private-surrounded-by-fence-from-every -side Chalets
  • Yachts, boats and Jet skis
  • Flying to Salt Lake City, Utah, USA where there's no Arab or to anywhere in winter
  • Living in an area inside Kuwait where the richest of Kuwait live
  • Go to USA and never return if they had the budget for it

Shooting zombies. This has been the obsession of many including my self, it's addictive and the fun never ends. If you haven't been introduced to the beauty of it yet, then today is your lucky day, cause I'm giving you something to kill time with, the best two zombie shooting flash games on the internet:

Realistic action of zombie shooting, make their heads fall of, blast a dozen of them with a shotgun, load and reload, point at the part you wanna blast and click.

Box-Head - The Rooms (Play)
You won't survive for long if you're not smart with this game, it depends on tactics, and using the very long list of weapons in a wise way to kill as many zombies as possible before the surround you from every side, you can type your name at the end of the game and send your score to the scores list, challenging.

Kuwait & Rock N' Roll: Full Review

The Hardcore & Typical
The rock fans in Kuwait are increasing, but they are not hardcore, they got into rock through the mainstream, through bands like Linkin Park and Evanescence. So you'd see that they love The Pussy Cat Dolls other than the mainstream rock n' roll bands. So how do the hardcore rock fans "happen"? They get introduced to in-depth rock through hardcore rock fans that have been introduced to rock n' roll before them due to buying albums for Guns N' Roses and AC/DC and got addicted to the real sound which later on made the music they like 95% rock and 5% for other genres, those are the real deal.


It's Not A Fashion Statement, It's A Death Wish
Okay, we have Punk, Metal & Goth. These genres of rock are the biggest in Kuwait, though Punk doesn't have that many fans, and it has been introduced as Emo lately instead of it's raw state. You can tell who's is what by their fashion sadly. But they all agree on one thing, having long hair. Each one got it's own purpose to having long hair. Metal heads use it to swing it around when they bang their head to the music, it's traditional. Gothics have long hair because it's simply Gothic, covering your face, black, dark, mysterious. Punks has got no purpose for long hair, but if we're in America then yes of course it's for the Mohawk but Emo has got a purpose for long hair in Kuwait, Emo stands for Emotional, having that long hair cover part of your face, making you able to give people that cute innocent emotional look, that's the purpose of long hair for the Emos. Now for the clothing, Metal & Goth both agree on black, Metal has got passion for leather though, so do Punk, but not in Kuwait, since Punk is Emo here as i said earlier. You can tell an Emo/Punk in Kuwait through their colorful yet pale clothes, stripes all over and a scarf in winter, chains occasionally and big sunglasses, though i doubt that they have been introduced to the big classic sunglasses yet, and of course, converse all star chucks. Now comes the complicated part about Punk & Emo in Kuwait, because the Emo fan in Kuwait loves Emo music, some Punk, has got Emo fashion all over, put yet some Punk here and there, the personality is all mixed up, they're fun, crazy and full with love.

Sex, Drugs & Rock N' Roll
Some people like to take it a bit over the edge, bringing drinks and drugs to the concerts, having sex day and night just because they're rock fans. Even the rock fans inside the local rock scene hate those, they are the reason why the local scene is having a hard time and a bard reputation. Those who walk on the saying Sex, Drugs & Rock N' Roll are mostly Satanics, because this is Kuwait.




The Government Of Kuwait & Rock
People in Kuwait are typical, they judge the person from his looks, so as soon as they'd know that you listen to rock and wear black then you'll be taken as a Satanic, so many times this issue has been brought up on News Papers, and it all begun with Muhammad Al-Awathi bringing a (retired) satanic to his show and interviewing him, and the stupid guy from his part tells Muhammad that Satanics listen to rock and didn't say which type of rock, which is Satanic rock. Since then Metal fans & Gothics have been having some hard time getting along with the society in Kuwait. But the Punks and Emos got away with it because their fashion isn't blackish and their music is popish, Alternative Rock, which is nowhere near Satanic Rock, and no don't take us back to the Sex Pistols and Iggy Pop, we are talking about today Kuwait not yesterday America.

The Misunderstanding
In 2005 this picture you see was added to a news headline on Al-Arabiya's Website that said "Satanics In Bahrain In A Concert" we all know what we are seeing here are a bunch of kids banging their heads in joy to a rock song about some girl, but to the typical governments of ours, they are in a ritual to drink tea with the devil. Various rock concerts were held here and there with a huge gap of time in-between. The government is enforcing very strict laws on music concerts in general, and taking in mind that rock has got it's reputation smudged by Satanics, it meant rock concerts would have double trouble existing in Kuwait, and that's why they are so few and rare.

Civil War, What's So Civil About War? Local Bands, What's So Local About Bands?
In Kuwait there are many local bands for a country like this, but most of the bands consist of non-Kuwaiti members, this has fired up some local-racist-punks and rock fans and rock bands that consist of Kuwaiti members for many reasons some of them are, they disrespect the non-Kuwaitis, they don't like it that non-Kuwaiti local bands are taking over the local scene, simply, they are racists. Kuwaiti Local Bands like The Giggly Daisies emerged from the ashes of hate and mischief and fired at a rock community that supported non-Kuwaiti local bands despite the fact that the managers of that community were Kuwaiti, it's clear that they'd fight the non-Kuwaiti local bands, their members and the Kuwaitis that support them. This has gotten bigger when a new Kuwaiti rock community emerged, it's gotten bigger because that community is a racist one, imagine, it's now communities fighting each other instead of individuals.

Your Rock Scene Is Obscene
At the end there are those who say what the title says, that the rock scene in Kuwait won't ever make it out of the quick sand, so they stay away from the whole thing and settle down as specators enjoying a wrestling match, there are whole bands that think the same and are planning on moving the the United States to accomplish their rock n' roll dream instead of going on a wild goose chase in Kuwait.



The Puppet Masters
So there are those who won't lose anything but will win everything by simply planning concerts for something forbidden, and they'd have all the respect at the end though they don't have the slightest emotion for rock in Kuwait, while others who're trying to do something and who are living their lives on the book of rock are disrespected and hated, life is unfair, and business will always be there to ruin the purity of things, unless there are communities that take the money they get from the concerts to make better ones, and to support the rock scene.

9 Cats And A Sandwich

I had my breakfast while watching anime (Japanese Cartoon). Then i went to the aquarium, where i fed nine cute cats, two cats broke my heart, the one who couldn't see because her eyes where turned into the inside of her eye socket, and the other was a baby cat. I managed to feed them both, the other cats tried to take away their food but i scared them off.

People were staring, a tall guy feeding cats and playing with them, my hight doesn't suit my character, sometimes i have to act up to look
normal.

The thing that makes me feel bad about my self is that i keep going out alone, some guys ask me to hang out with them but they're not my type, I'm looking for the friends of a lifetime, i don't want to miss-pick my friends and suffer what i suffered before from my old friends.

I went back home and went to see mom, she started criticizing me as always about not coming to see her, the irony is that the way she spoke was the reason, and she asked me about school and exams, little does she know that i didn't go to any of my finals, i told her I'm finishing the finals tomorrow, if they ask me about my report paper I'll just say that i lost it. If you don't know me yet, i have to tell you that i hate school so much, I've been going there for 6 years and i have just reached my limit.

About Blake Benji

This Kuwaiti blogger was supposed to graduate 2 years ago from high school, but he still has one year left, and the most annoying thing to him is avoiding a clash with his family about it by keeping everything a secret, his friends betrayed him, they look down on him, so he seeks revenge for what they did, because they are part of the reason why he failed the first time, and why he lost it all, he wants to become a rock star but his friends tell him that he'll never make it and laugh at his songs and his dreams, he's got many dreams, but non of them can be accomplished if he doesn't first find the friend of a life time, and get a great income from his internet business in order to have the budget to accomplish all his dreams and fulfill his revenge on his enemies.

As truthful as possible,welcome to my blog, my everyday life log.
