My life is for rent


my favorite song of all time, is there anything can describes me better?



Life for rent (Dido)

I haven't really ever found a place that I call home
I never stick around quite long enough to make it
I apologize that once again I'm not in love
But it's not as if I mind
that your heart ain't exactly breaking

It's just a thought, only a thought

But if my life is for rent and I don't lean to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

I've always thought
that I would love to live by the sea
To travel the world alone
and live my life more simply
I have no idea what's happened to that dream
Cos there's really nothing left here to stop me

It's just a thought, only a thought

But if my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

While my heart is a shield and I won't let it down
While I am so afraid to fail so I won't even try
Well how can I say I'm alive

If my life is for rent...

The world’s most hated countries, and the winners are…!!




A majority of people believe that Israel and Iran have a mainly negative influence in the world, a poll for the BBC World Service suggests.
It shows that the two countries are closely followed by the United States and North Korea.
The poll asked 28,000 people in 27 countries to rate a dozen countries plus the EU in terms of whether they have a positive or negative influence.
Canada, Japan and the EU are viewed most positively in the survey.
source BBC


it is interesting that the top two hated countries are shared by Iran and Israel, at least the hate is divided equally, fifty-fifty.

One day our generation is gonna rule the population. John, you gotta be kidding me!!


Waiting on the world to change by John Mayer

I love this song,the Lyrics are just amazing, maybe because it depicts quite accurately my helplessness’ feelings towards what is going on in Syria and in the Middle East. I don’t like the situation but I can’t change it, I even don’t see how it could be ever changed. Totalitarian regimes are bad but Iraqi chaos on the American style or Lebanese chaos on the USA/France/Iran/Syria/Saudi… style isn’t much better, ou 7ella iza bet7ella.
All what I can do is to ne2 (nag) ou 3ala na2!!
If you want to be enlightened by further discussion and waje3 2albak check my last post.





Lyrics:
me and all my friends
we're all misunderstood
they say we stand for nothing and
there's no way we ever could
now we see everything that's going wrong
with the world and those who lead it
we just feel like we don't have the means
to rise above and beat it

so we keep waiting
waiting on the world to change
we keep on waiting
waiting on the world to change

it's hard to beat the system
when we're standing at a distance
so we keep waiting
waiting on the world to change
now if we had the power
to bring our neighbors home from war
they would have never missed a Christmas
no more ribbons on their door
and when you trust your television
what you get is what you got
cause when they own the information, oh
they can bend it all they want

that's why we're waiting
waiting on the world to change
we keep on waiting
waiting on the world to change

it's not that we don't care,
we just know that the fight ain't fair
so we keep on waiting
waiting on the world to change

and we're still waiting
waiting on the world to change
we keep on waiting waiting on the world to change
one day our generation
is gonna rule the population
so we keep on waiting
waiting on the world to change

we keep on waiting
waiting on the world to change
