Youth TV makes me wanna be old!!


I swear to god i am ashamed to be categorized with the Youth of Maldives ever since they started to air Youth TV. Since I work in the same building and basically the same industry I am all for new beginnings and new ideas but Youth Tv started all wrong and is now a national disaster.
First off they hired inexperienced, unqualified teenagers off the road and made them the producers of Youth TV. Where is the sense in this??? I am pretty sure that Kermit the frog does not produce Sesame street and Sponge bob does not own Nickelodeon. Newsflash!!! it does not work that way. A TV channel has to have more than a handful of "responsible" adults to run it. TV and radio these are the places that people turn to, to find out about the latest music, the artists but these people do not know the first thing about music. They don't follow the charts so what the hell are they going to talk about on a live request show??!! Absolute and utter crap....One minute the presenter will be talking in english and the other in dhivehi. Could you please decide on what language to use..please it just gets on my last nerve when these bimbos and himbos come on TV and can't Talk in english or dhivehi. I don't know where Quality Control and Professionalism went. Wait a minute there wasn't any to start with.
Every minute you waste on a TV channel is money being drained out of the government. Instead of trying to shut down the Am channel do something about Youth TV. It is rather unfair how MNBC gives all the support and rescources available to Youth TV and RFM. If I didn't know any better I'd say that they are out to make the Youth of the Maldives mindless imbeciles!!If you ask me right now the channels slogun should be Fools for Fools!! instead of Youth for Youth!!

SMILE


It used be very confusing for me why some people found it so hard to smile. Why i thought? when its so easy. Research suggests that people who smile more age less. As I grow older i find that circumstances make it hard for some people to lift their cheeks up. Its really not worth the effort for people who have nothing to smile about. It is not because they want to show the world how miserable they are or make everyone else around you cry with pity. When everything around is you is falling apart its hard to push it back and smile like nothings wrong. Most of the miserable people you see are not really frowning at you they are probably lost in thought and trying to make sense of it all.
Can you smile when your son is dying? Can you smile when you can't afford the bare essentials? Can you smile when your dreams are dying? You might at times but its not easy for everyone. Having faith helps a lot in times of distress. But once again its hard to keep it together when everything is falling apart. So think twice before you judge that old woman on the road who refuses to smile. (Tell it to yourself nisa you judgemental fool)

Confessions of a Foodaholic!!!


I come from a long line of fatties. My granpa was a fatty my granma on my mums side is round, my mum has a (clearing throat) generous figure my dad was a piggy. So please do not expect me to maintain my weight. It is so fucking hard!!! Losing weight is a piece of cake (food reference=piggy) for me but keeping it that way is the problem. I am not into exercise but i could jog if i wanted to. Problem is do i want to?? Mostly i am pretty comfortable with my body....but on special occasions it gets hard when I can't fit into a decent dress.
Food gives me so much pleasure. At times i eat even after i get full. Food brings idy n me closer...thankfully its not the only thing we have in common heheh. Right now the button on my jeans is pressing really hard on my tubby tummy...cos i ate a burger and fries plus coke for lunch....and i have no more energy left to type plus i gotta get back to work....since it is what i am supposed to be doing..
Ciao

I don't beleive in 6 hrs of sleep!!


I really can't do with six hours of sleep. It simply is not enough for me. I have a lazy ass brain that refuses to function unless I have enough sleep and by enough i mean more than 7 hrs. Which brings me to the conclusion that the optimum amount of sleep depends on the individual.
Lets isolate Anni for example: At the most i believe he sleeps about 2 hrs every other day. At times I don't get him at all. I read an article once that said successful people like Donald Trump and Bill Gates do not sleep unless it is absolutely necessary. All my hopes of becoming a millionaire/President came to a tragic hault after reading the stupid article. Now i am on a quest to find successful personalities who sleep a lot. I need to prove the article wrong by all means. The sad truth however is I still haven't found a single person who fits.
Alas!!!I am doomed and destined for failure.....well maybe a little success

Valentine Vandetta!!!


Why do people insist on criminalizing the celebration of love? Why can't Valentines day be for us? If We aren't supposed to celebrate today, will you please make another "lovers" day for us? please Sheikh Fareedh. Fuck that I already know that it aint no sin to celebrate Valentines day because there is no verse anywhere that states, "Thou shall not celebrate Valentines day".

Let me tell you a few reasons why I believe Valentines day should be celebrated:
It brings people together
Its good business for Chocolate vendors, Restaurants, Bakers, Florists, Gift shops and Boutiques
It rekindles the love between two individuals
It does not harm anyone
It does not involve any special Christian prayer
You do not have to run around naked to celebrate Valentines day
You do not have to sacrifice a new born to celebrate Valentines day, to name just a few.

I believe in all holidays and celebrations hell I would celebrate "Pongal" if i could (that's the Tamil New year).
I pray five times a day and try to be the best Muslim I can........but Sheikh Fareedh I'm Still a lover....don't be hating.......

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY TO ALL OF YALL...ESPECIALLY TO MY DAD(RIP) AND IDY

Note: Just look at the Goddamn picture and tell me if it aint worth celebratin!!!

JINNI (I didn't hate it)


There I was on the first night of February on my way to watch a dhivehi film for the very first time on big screen(and secretly telling myself this would be the very last time). I just wanted to share a few laughs with Rynu and co and honestly i didn't think i'd make it past the break. The horror flick was supposed to be, believe it or not 3 whole hours long. 2 hrs of action and 1 hr of songs so what'd you expect me to think. Fathaah the director never fails to amuse me with his ever evolving head of hair. Just two months back it was silky smooth and now its like a bleached dry mop thats been left in the sun for two long. Just when i was about to reach the fourth step on Olympus(not to be confused with Mount Olympus) lo and behold there he was the director, editor and producer of the movie "Mashoor director Fathaah". When you read this story you have to remember that the Maldivian film industry is still in the 1800's. Back in those days you'd find struggling directors waiting outside the theaters to see if everything is in order. I'm guessing he was the only one who had the golden copy of the newly released movie and he didn't want it to fall into the wrong hands(you can never be to careful, good thinkin there). Fathaah had shiny drops of excitement on his face(better than gross man sweat) was walking out so fast probably to elude the wild paprazzi outside(Yes MR. QT you've got competition near the equator).The sight of him made me want to go into the cinema and find out just how much he had managed to violate himself. So there I was sitting in an unbelievably uncomfortable chair sweating bullets cos i had worn a long sleeved top. I had completely over looked the fact that Olympus just like the movie industry was from the 1800's therefore no air conditioning. And then the Bell rang trrrrrrrrrrrr.
The sound was horrible first bad point noted. How could the sound be any good at a theater from the dark ages. Oh yes and so began the movie.........first a lot of crying which made me wanna get up and leave but as it went on...............I never thought I'd say this but Seexan is a seasoned actor now, Amira if that is her name is not bad either and the rest of course leaving Afeefa were not half bad. in fact some of em were very bare able. Afeefa!! if i had any credibility in the movie industry i would tell you to stick to the back ground scenes, preferably as a tree. Seeing as no amount of make up or costumes seem to make you look like a star. I am not being mean but i have to critical of actors cos you guys are just so in the face. Overall i would give the movie 6/10 and i might even consider going to a dhivehi movie again someday...maybe next year!Or maybe right after they install air conditioners.

I can't figure them out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I've been thinking in, outside and around the box and I still can't find out what makes them tick. Cmon you know who i am talking about, its them "gangsters". Well i don't know if real gangsters would want me to call em that. Would a self loving gangster wear skinny jeans and suck on glow stick lolly pops?you tell me. I know its all the rage but I still don't think whoever invented skinny jeans for men was aiming for straight men.


Okay let me list down the "BAydu" stuff they do:

Slashing people with kitchen knives (hard to smuggle in swords and it does the job)

Drug Pushing, dealing, doing,..........

Pimping

Dangerous driving

Disturbing the peace and hooting (although i have immunity around these parts)

Introducing minors


Normally anyone caught doing all of the above would be considered a criminal, bad seed or gangster but before drawing a conclusion lets look at the oddities:

Numero Uno Skinny Jeans

Glow stick lolly pops

Eyeliner

Artifically straightened hair

Extensions (I am not very sure of this one, but its up for effect)

Writing love songs

Late night phone calls to setu kuraa girls (Wouldn't it be more gangstarrish to just propose at gun point or just rape the girl- not giving ideas just pondering )

Getting tipsy with one drink of Vodka... just to name a few


So you see why I am confused about these Public Enemies....I guess all of it combined is a desperate cry for attention. Sadly the only attention they are gonna end up getting is from the Warden at Dhoonidhoo or Feydhoofinolhu.


HAPPY 2010 HOPE THIS YEAR I'LL HAVE MORE TIME TO SPEND WITH MY BLOGGY WOGGY!!
