The most disarrayed post ever and porn stars are nice people

Seems like eons ago… But bear with me, for it might get interesting and bare with me if it doesn’t so that it shall.

Ever since the day that I got off the plane on Dubai International Airport, people have been asking me (which includes people I don’t know from Adam) “What do you think about Dubai”? How’d you find it? What about the buildings? Were you impressed? I have been unable to satisfy people. Buildings don’t impress me much. Ok so they are big and flashy…but I did see a PINK building in Abu Dhabi and I saw a Golden and Pink building in Dubai? Now that showed Guts in bad taste if anything. Anyways, I was not there to appraise buildings and couldn’t have done a good job if I were.

I went there looking for a job and I found one, I doubt it was without any divine help. I was very lucky to say the least. I used to find Karachi Huge and Ugly, (no I am not talking about the people), I cant say Dubai is that. I think it is just plain Ugly. I guess it’s the way that I am built, any place that wreaks of more than 60% of capitalism makes me nauseous. There is nothing to do in that place for someone like me, well except working and getting paid. I know, I know it is home to many but It doesn’t mean I have to like it. A lot of people like vanilla ice cream too. Oh God, forgive me, why why why Vanilla? I mean that is not even a flavor. I think if something or someone is so tasteless or lifeless that you can’t put a finger on it, or name it, then call that thing Vanilla, for example the aptly named Vanilla Ice, Cameron Crowe’s Vanilla Sky and all Vanilla mornings, if there is any such in the world.

My opinion of Dubai for expats who are their for a quickie is very well explained by one of the very very few songs of Hip Hop and Rap that I like ….namely California Love feat: Dr. Dre & Tupac Shakur. They state:

Now let me welcome everybody to the wild, wild west
A state that's untouchable like Elliot Ness
The track hits ya eardrum like a slug to ya chest
Pack a vest for your Jimmy in the city of sex
We in that sunshine state with a bomb ass hemp beat
the state where ya never find a dance floor empty
And pimps be on a mission for them greens
lean mean money-makin-machines servin fiends (California Love – Dr. Dre & Tupac Shakur)

If we for an instance remove those who are plagued by life and HAVE to work in Dubai, because for them and in their sights there is no other option whatsoever, then we shall be left with at least 75% of the remaining population. Then let the rest be the pimps who are pretty busy pimping their products, some literally, some otherwise. Does that make them bad people or good people? No I am not talking about the Pimps, I don’t really care about em, except that maybe I want to act out a jack ripper (one week of ripping did no one any bad). Also, I would like a lot of paper and a paper shredder, to make me happy. The real thing would mean blood and slashing which really makes me sick to the stomach, like Japanese horror and American Teenage Comedy movies.

All of the above has nothing to do with Dubai. It has got a general direction wherein I hate all kinds of prostitution. When you say prostitution it is usually women who get paid to get laid. But it is more than just that. I think if the woman or man chooses that as a profession herself than she / he is wrong to do so. If they are forced, then it is worst. There are other kinds of prostitution, in my opinion prostitution / rape is having to do something you don’t like at all, or something which pays you a lot but for a price payable by not just you but by the whole society. Yes yes for me it is a whole moral dilemma. Pros are bad, but not porn stars…they are naughty. Porn stars are nice people.

So what is this all about? Nothing much at all, I just want to vent various issues out of my system. Catharsis if you will. Its like driving in Lahore, if you don’t cuss at every cut and turn you will most probably die of a heart attack before you reach your destination and I have a long way to drive.

i am wondering that psuedo or semi (intellectual) rambling or not, you DO read it all and i am glad it leaves you interested enough for it to be long awaited. I am flattered as all naive human beings are (yes even us intellectuals are susceptible to such common vagrancies). I do however thank you from the bottomless pit that is my heart. And do keep visiting, there is more where that came from. The brain fills up just as quickly as it empties.

gosh you would not believe it but my husband was asking me yesterday if i wanted vamilla ice cream, and i told him vanilla isnt a flavour. you cant imagine how excited i am to see someone else sharing my view hehehehe. i did add, though, that vanilla is ok only if it comes straight from the pod and goes directly into custard. REAL custard, not the cornflour version.

much thanks, i know the feeling,You go to someone's place (especially your sister's in laws) and they give you Vanilla ice cream. It is the worst thing that can happen to someone.Maybe Vanilla is only good for a) Custard b) Cold Coffee...and not everyone knows how to make cold coffee,...it tastes like loads of Bloody Vanilla with bit of milk and a sniff of coffee...dammit...by the way, i Do Not like cornflour...it makes everything bad...people load soup with it and it makes it all lumpy...:(

hi... interestingly put...
one thing that i need to clear..maybe i didnt get it right... the impression that i got after reading this is thst you dont seem to enjoy Dubai (which is 100% understandable,by the way) yet you are very much there...working and gettin paid. Then you jump to this prostitution topic (again nicely put- few things that i do not agree with, which i would love to discuss face to face if we ever meet). I quote: 'prostitution / rape is having to do something you don’t like at all, or something which pays you a lot but for a price payable by not just you but by the whole society'... should i be interpreting this statement of yours as having a direct/indirect link with your job? Who enjoys prostitution in the first place...? Are you trying to imply that you yourself are in some way (weird way if you want)doing/committing prostitution? As you do not seem to enjoy the place, the location (i am not very clear about the people though) though you still stick to it...as it pays you nicely. Would love to read your comments...
cheers!

First of all, i am not quite working in Dubai, yet. I am supposed to leave in about two weeks time, so i have had a lot of time to think about it. Why i really want to go, or HAVE to go or whatever acts as a suitable placebo to ease my mind. Anyway, to answer your question, you have qouted me, the quote should begin with "in my opinion", and it is strictly my opinion. In the real world, you will find a lot of men and women who will be in the world oldest (proverbial) profession. I have come to realise that there are actually people who do enjoy prostitution. They give it exotic names like being Gigolos, or Escorts. But for me it is the same as prostitution.
No, it does not have a direct link with my job, the only thing that made me feel that way was, that i have to leave my country, my friends and family and everything i have identified with to make money. People have different reasons for making money, i need it cause i want to contribute with my parents enough to move out of the current locality into a newer better one. If i stay home, it will take 10 times longer for me to save the same amount of money, so i decided to go to Dubai, spend some time there, make a lotta money and come back. and while thinking about it all, it just felt like what i wrote about. It is not rape, cause i am willfully doing it, so maybe yea, it is the other thing, because while i am doing it of my own accord, a) it is not on my own terms, b) it is something i am not enjoying at all. (a roller coster ride is NOT my terms but still fun at some turns). I cant really put my figer on what you want to know, and maybe i have not explained it very well. But if we ever meet, then maybe i will be able to get my point accross in a more saner manner.

Other than the amount of power that usb flash drive devices can use from 0.

Unfortunately, usb flash drive 3. 99 MSRP and 1 TB versions that
each cost $10 less than the Canvio 3. Both the Power Pot V comes standard with a few twists to reveal
a standard RP-SMA connector for attaching alternate,
higher-strength antenna solutions in circumstances where maximum connection range is required.


Have a look at my web-site :: bikini
