Being Normal

According to the dictionary, "normal" means conforming to the standard or the common type; usual; not abnormal; regular; natural. Free from any infection or disease. Sane.
According to people, normal means average. And according to the majority of people, everyone is average while they themselves are special. However, when these people spot someone who is truly out of the ordinary, they stay away. No grudges, no prejudices. It's just that our society rejects anyone who's different.

Normal is life, and if life was a person, it would've been one hell of an illusionist.

1- Normal is spending 12 years studying at school and 5 years at university only to find at the end that you are unemployable.

2- Working from 9 till 6 everyday at something that gives you no pleasure so that 30 years later you can retire.

3- Kissing up to the boss whom you absolutely abominate because he can give you a promotion and a 5% pay raise.

4- Retiring after saving a lot of money and discovering that you no longer have the energy or health to spend it or to enjoy life.

5- Mocking anyone who seeks happiness rather than fame, power and money and accusing him of lacking ambition.

6- Eating three meals every day, even if you're not hungry, and not eating more if you have company, even if you're starving.

7- Never talking to strangers.

8- Getting married, having children, staying together long after the love has died, saying it's good for the kids (who are, apparently, deaf to the constant fights).

9- Never laughing too loudly in a restaurant no matter how good the joke was, because it's "taboo".

10- Feeling sorry for those who show their feelings.

11- Believing that art is either worth a fortune or worth nothing at all.

12- Despising anything that was easy to achieve, because if it is easy then it obviously is not worth having.

13- Following fashion trends, however ridiculous or uncomfortable they might be.

14- Standing facing the door in an elevator and pretending you're the only person inside, regardless of how crowded it is.

15- Going to a charity party and thinking you've done your bit toward putting an end to social inequality.

16- Believing that it's dangerous to step outside your own limits, so it's best to do nothing.

17- Thinking that a life time of loneliness is better than rejection.

18- Letting go of someone you love because they are too good for you.

19- Believing that everything children or teenagers do wrong is down to the company they keep.

20- Avoiding depression with daily doses of television.

21- Assuming that women don't like football, and equally assuming that men don't like fashion.

22- Blaming the government for everything that goes bad in the country.

23- Thinking that being a nice, decent, respectable person means that others will see you weak and vulnerable.

24- Being equally convinced that rudeness and aggression are synonyms with "having a powerful personality".

25- Thinking that we are leading free lives when in fact we know nothing about freedom.

46 Dating and Flirting Tips


1- Send him a funny text message. But just in case he didn't see it, send it again and again and again. Also, send it to his parents and siblings, that way you'll be the topic of conversation over dinner. YAY!
2- If you ever catch him looking at you, say "YOU STARIN' AT ME, PUNK?". Works every time.
3- Greet him by screaming "KNEEL BEFORE ZOD" then use your superpowers to make him bow. If you don't have superpowers, saying "Hi" works too.
4- While he's reading, walk over to him and whisper "books are word prisons", then karate chop the air and run.
5- Karate chop the air.
6- Walk over to him and say something like "I kill puppies" while batting your eyelashes, then giggle, skip away, and wait for love to chase after you.
7- If he doesn't fall for you after the killing-puppies thing, tell him you have a dead body in your car, smile slowly, wink, and walk away.
8- Fall down a lot, maybe your crush will help you up.
9- Quote Twilight ALL THE TIME! lol, no.
10- Make a deal with a ghost to haunt your crush until he dates you. After he dates you, tell him about the deal.
11- Fool him into drinking a love potion.
12- It's easy to flirt if you're famous. Become famous.
13- Name both of his eyebrows and speak directly to them.
14- Carve your name into his car, but only when he's looking, you don't want someone else to take the credit!
15- Follow him EVERYWHERE! No, it's not creepy at all.
16- Buy new shoes and ask him if he wants to see how high you can jump. If he doesn’t care, jump as high as you can. That’ll show him!
17- If you ever hear him say "after all this time" or anything that ends with "this time", whisper "always" and burst out in tears.
18- Hire Cupid.
19- Flirt with other guys. This causes jealousy which always leads to love, and never causes drama or tension.
21- Every time he's about to sneeze scream"PIKA" before he says "CHU" so he'd know you guys are meant to be.
22- Walk over to him and whisper "Luke, I am your father" then run away. That will show him that you put the "der" in "vader" which is totally meaningless.
23- It’s hard to tell if someone is flirting with you or just being nice, so keep staring until it gets awkward and you probably still won't figure it out.
24- Dress up as him for Halloween. Not creepy at all, either.
25- Tell him you want him to be your 7th horcrux. How romantic is that?!
26- Stomp on his feet until he loves you.
27- If stomping on his feet doesn't work, you can resort to kicking and punching.
28- If you’re already in a relationship, but still want to flirt with someone else, go ahead! Yep, nothing bad can come out of this.
29- Get abducted by aliens, maybe he'll miss you.
30- Use the levitating spell to make a heavy book fall on his head. He'll probably pass out and you'll revive him. Then tell him about the spell.
31- Flirt by being mean to him until he falls in love with you. If he cries, it’s a clear sign that it’s working.
32- Spoil all the movies for him so he wouldn't go to the movie theatre with anyone else.
33- Fight over something awesome like which Harry Potter spell is the best. If it doesn't work, at least he'll understand how overrated Avada Kedavra is. If he doesn't, Crucio the hell out of him!
34- Use the imperial curse on him and make him date you.
35- If he likes smart girls, walk around with a microscope and dictionary ALL the time.
36- Dig a big hole and push your crush inside. Then get a rope and rescue him. He'll be grateful and you guys will end up living happily ever after!
37- Tell him that even though he's a muggle, he's still a pure-blood in your eyes.
38- If he ever invites you to have lunch or dinner at his place, keep counting his family members. That way they'll know you're good at maths.
39- Slowly walk over to him, whisper "They're coming for you" then dramatically walk away. Boys love a good creep!

45- Black mail and threaten him into falling for you
46- If none of this works, throw him into an ocean. Don't worry, they did the same with Megatron and he turned out to be fine.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes




      

That story, I believe, is one we're all familiar with; the little chimpanzee who possesses human-like intelligence and emotions grows up, starts getting a little wild, finds himself imprisoned in an ape sanctuary, breaks out along with his fellow apes and together they try to take over the planet. The planet is Egypt, the ape sanctuary is jail, and I don't have to say who the chimpanzee and the apes are.

      Subsequent to the revolution, the president went to prison and the prisoner, supported by his vulpine and swindling clan, became president. The Muslim Brotherhood took over most of the parliament seats, but instead of delivering what they promised they delivered undesired gifts. Instead of the renaissance we longed for we were presented with a collapsing economy and a power-hungry, blood-thirsty organization.

     But despite the constitutional declaration, the declining of our economy, and the Brotherhood leaders taking over the government there was hope. That hope was the new constitution which turned out to be rotten. And as if we're fools, a referendum was held. But really, if the entire Egyptian population had voted no and the Brotherhood wanted it to be yes, the result would've been yes and they would still call it democracy. But the real fool is the one that can see the world falling apart and does nothing about it, then comes out and spouts gibberish in his so-called speeches and claims that everything is alright.

     The real fool is Mr. President for following the rules of the jungle and letting his "clan" kill the protestors, then dismissing the interior minister for not attacking the people and replacing him with someone who'd follow the jungle rules too. The real fool is Mr. President for talking about freedom of speech one day and filing cases against journalists the next. The real fool is Mr. President for beating up the hungry because they're complaining. The real fool is Mr. President for being a good boy and following his orders. And is a puppet any better that a tyrant anyway?

The Muslim Brotherhood does NOT represent Islam, and such extremists left no room for religious tolerant. There's a reason why the long –banned organization was banned. Growing a beard or shaving it off is unrelated to Sharia. Preaching is not the same thing as conquering. And after all, the greatest trick the Devil has ever pulled off is convincing people that he's a god.
