The End of the World

When I was young I thought I will live till the year 1996.
These thoughts started 1992 in a classroom with intelligent pupils and a talented storyteller…the religion teacher describing the horrific and shocking scenes of the final years of earth.
I believed in every word he said and the pictures of this day that I have imagined never came out of my mind.
I thought at that time that I will face that day…that I will experience every event of it.
The year 1996 came and I did not die…and I was happy… almost.
I tried to forget the possibility of facing my death through Armageddon…I even told myself that if it is going to happen in this century …it will happen after I die.
Surprisingly I am asking myself this question today: Am I going to see the end of days…is this the beginning of the final part of human history? The nature and human violence are playing the apocalyptical symphony of life…there is destruction all around the world…and people are racing to put their signature on the contract of “The End “.
First there is Palestine, and then Iraq, Lebanon, Syria …then Iran, America, Russia…then Korea, Japan, China and finally all will collide…or should we call it the war between the New Moslems and the 3rd generation of powerful Jews…which will be opened with a ceremony by Iran …or maybe the US will take the first step…
They taught me that there are small signs and big signs of the end of the world…and that all small signs do exist…almost.
I went to school…I studied hard…I tried to get the best marks…I wanted to go to the best university…I joined the best faculty…I studied for many years to graduate and to start my new job…I wanted to have a beautiful wife and beautiful children …I wanted to taste the ecstasy of sex…I wanted to have a house with a garden full of red and white roses…I wanted to do the Hajj and see my grandchildren grow…all what I have done were for nothing…should I begin to enjoy my life as much as I can…but it seems that it will never happen…planet earth will never see a peaceful day anymore.
The leaders know that this may lead to the World War III … but they do not care…they are like children…each kid is saying that the other kid took the toy from him…that the other kid touched him or spoke to him in a bad way...
After the Friday prayer I told Fufo El Masry: I think that the end of days may take 100 or 500 years to come…or maybe more.
He told me: this is just the beginning…each event will happen so fast…one after the other …that you will think it is just happening in one single day…yalla 2el7a2 etgawez.
For me this was not a funny joke…and after I left him on my way home with the bicycle…a car came and just hit me but I jumped from the bicycle and fell on the street…I do not remember what happened...I was injured …bruises in my arms and legs…people helped me to go home.
At that moment I remembered my last do3a2 in the prayer when I asked god for forgiveness and that I wish to go to heaven…I have made a lot of mistakes and very bad things in my life…this could have been my last words…this could have been my last day of life…this could have been the end of my world

EGYPTIANARCISSISM

To live here is like living in a lego land...everything is in order...everything is nice...everything is beautiful...the streets...the cars...I can finally breathe fresh air...no pollution...no noise...no crowdedness...here I can work...I can concentrate...I can be productive...I can be creative...I can meditate...I can enjoy and live the real life...
.
I do not understand what we are doing in
Egypt...fighting...fighting...fighting...help us ...help us...help us...and people here are developing themselves and enjoying their lives...are we crazy...I am sad that we are wasting our present time in self-destruction...and blaming our Gogo and Popo that they are the obstacle...if we really want to do something we can do it right now...the problem is...that when we do it...we do it in small groups...or as individuals...we have to do it together...and to have no fear...
.
we do not need to wait and get orders from Gogo or Popo or Momo...we do not need to have permission from Gogo or Popo or Momo...cause they do not exist...they are "us"and we have made them...we are just running in a vicious circle...hello...wake up...and just do what you want to do...cause this is how a revolution starts

could we have some style and beauty in our houses and buildings

could egypt be green like that

the nile shore...could it be like that

could we learn how to behave and to have some discipline

could we find real love in education and innovation

could we have a university like that

could I have a nice view from my window like that

or should I just wait for heaven

Let's talk about SEX

Exclusive interview with FUFO El Masry

WS:How are you
FUFO: I am fine
WS:How is life here
FUFO:Well…not like I have expected
WS:Why?
FUFO:Hard …especially after the terrorism-war-thing all over the world …oh…and you see now what could have happened with the airplanes they wanted to blow…living here is now a nightmare…and it is very boring
WS:By the way…mabrouk for the marriage
FUFO:Thanks
WS:So…tell me…how did you meet her
FUFO:In the disco…we talked…danced…she gave me her number…then we met several times …and after a while she became my girlfriend
WS:But why marriage? FUFO: I do not know
WS:Sure you know…what do you mean with I do not know…did you marry her to stay in this land…or to take the citizenship…or because you love her?
FUFO:She is the one I was looking for…and I wanted to have unforbidden sex
WS:Unforbidden sex…what do you mean with unforbidden…aha…you mean it is not forbidden…you mean it is religiously and traditionally not forbidden…but you had sexual experiences without marriage…and it is easier…so why have you changed your mind?
FUFO:Tobt…
WS:He he he
FUFO:Yes…you know I have been raised in a religious conservative family in Egypt…and as you know it is impossible now to marry someone in my homeland…you already know the reasons I think…and I will not masturbate all my life till I marry or become infertile
WS:He he he…ok…you told your family?
FUFO:Not yet
WS: I see…so what are your plans?
FUFO: I do not know…I do not have any plans now. I am working in a restaurant
WS:But you told me that you came here to make your postgraduate studies…so what happened?
FUFO: I do not know…my life here sucks…thank god that I found my soul mate…look…this is her picture with me…and here is another picture of her
WS:Wow…no way…is this your wife...awesome…ya wallad…3ereft tena2y…yabn el la2yma…she is gorgeous…beautiful…she could be a model…or participate in miss universe…pure perfection…sexy body…golden yellow hair…beautiful face…beautiful eyes…beautiful smile…wallahy bravo 3alek
FUFO:But I am afraid she could get pregnant
WS:Why?
FUFO:I do not want to have children in this land…in this society…and you know why…and I am not prepared for that step at all
WS:Do you use condoms?
FUFO:No
WS:What…you are kidding …right?
FUFO:No… I am telling you the truth… I once used the condom and I did not feel anything during intercourse…she is taking something like a ring or so with hormones
WS:What is this…I never heard about this method of contraception
FUFO:Women know what they are doing
WS:But aren’t you afraid that one day she may forget to use it or that this method could have a high failure percentage
FUFO:That is why I am really worried…you know…condoms are very expensive here
WS: I could give you some…I bring them always from Egypt…they are made in China…3 condoms cost 1.5 pounds only
FUFO: I just said that I do not feel anything with condoms…and I have to tell you that I have a problem…I cum very late
WS:This is good…because then you can enjoy sex for a longer time
FUFO:No…she gets exhausted…because we never have the orgasm at the same time…so if I use condoms it will be worse
WS:You can use lubricants or sensitive forms of condoms
FUFO:I think I have to go to a doctor
WS:Ok…do you think now that marriage is easier here than in Egypt?
FUFO:Of course…you do not need anything to have legal sex…do you know that in our life together …each one of us pays 50% of everything…food…house…transportation…this is fair…plus women and their families here are not complicated like those in Egypt…khalehom ye3aneso fi masr WS:So what is your advice for the youth in Egypt?
FUFO:Instead of telling your parents all day and night that you want to marry,just tell them:
Mom…Dad… I want to have sex
