Cairokee ft Aida El Ayouby Ya El Medan كايروكي و عايده الايوبي

Special dedication to freedom, to TAHRIR!

الثورة مش بتعطلك، متعطلهاش انت

• اللى بيشتكى ان الإعتصام فى التحرير موقف المرور و معطل المصالح
  انت كنت شايفها سالكة قبل كدة امتى؟ القاهرة الكبرى ما هى الا جراج برتبة مدينة!
• اللى بيقول ان المظاهرات بتعطل عجلة الإنتاج
  ما إحنا كنا بنتظاهر يوم الجمعة و ماكنش عاجب. و بعدين أنا بشوف كل يوم الناس على القهوة الساعة 8 الصبح بتشرب شيشة ولا ده لزوم المزاج اللى حيزود الإنتاج؟؟!!
• اللى بيقول طب أنا معاهم  بقلبى بس عايز أروح شغلى
  اصحى بدرى شوية و انزل شغلك و ارجع بدرى، الثوار نباجيتهم سوارية مش ماتينيه!
• اللى بيقول ده كان حلال فيهم العادلى
  راعى ضميرك و اسأل نفسك: لو عندك ابن أو بنت أو أخ أو أخت كنت تحب يحصلهم كدة؟
• اللى بيقول الناس اللى نازلة دى عايزين ايه تانى
  المطالب متغيرتش من يناير للنهارده، هى لسة متحققتش! و الناس اللى بتنتقضها دي بتجرى ورا حقى و حقك علشان احنا وولادنا يكونلنا مستقبل احسن! «ما ضاع حق خلفه مطالب»
• اللى بيقول المفروض ندى الجلس العسكرى و الحكومة فرصة
  تسونامى اليابان حصل من 8 شهور و هما من يومها بيبنوا و بيصلحوا من غير كلام، احنا ثرنا للتغيير من 11  شهر و كل اللى حصلنا عليه لغاية دلوتى وعود براقة، فوضى عارمة و اوضاع متردية
• الى اخواتى و اصحابى و اهلى اللى فى كل ميادين تحرير مصر:
  
  - التزموا السلمية و ما تدوش لحد فرصة ياخد نقطة عليكو
  - لازم نوحد مطالبنا علشان لما المشير يطل علينا بطلعتو البهية نعرف احنا بنقبل أو نرفض كلامه على أساس ايه
  - لازم يكون عندنا خريطة طريق واضحة علشان منغلطش نفس غلطتنا فى فبراير

Reflections: Inspired by the Wet Season

• Las nubes negras roaming all week long to soak and cleanse the city with it's pouring rain, with a promise that el sol will shine again with all its glory touching everyone with the warmth of its rays
• Even though I was born in the summer with it's imposing heat, I've always preferred winter with it's suggestive warmth
• One of the best smells to look forward to in the rain: fresh rain-wet grass
• Thunder and lightning to me are never a premonition; they are like old friends that always make me feel right at home
• If it is drizzling, the best thing to do is to take a walk in a puddle-free road/path
• If it is pouring, cuddle up in a warm place, open the curtains, make a steaming cup of cocoa and watch the wet streets and the swooshing going outside of your little warm world
• The memory of the best rain day I have ever witnessed, is that when I was standing under the protective roof of our school bus garage, and I couldn't make out the volley ball court that was only 20 meters away

Morning Exercise Companions

This is a tribute to my morning exercise companions.  I am not making fun of them, but naturally in order for me to identify them I have to give my superficial impressions on these people, since I don't actually know them or exchanges so much as a couple of words with any of them.  I actually salute and respect them for being so true to their exercise routine through hot steamy weather, pouring rain, and fasting month of Ramadan.  Please meet my morning companions:

• Ziko-  He looks so much like Zakaria Azmi and hence the nickname
• I'm 65 but I'm definitely more fit than you are- If we are taking laps on the same direction, he sure will be ahead of me even if I originally started before him.
• Daddy Long Legs- He's so tall with really long legs, the DLL story jumps straight to mind
• Wide shoulders- He's actually cute, but you can pinpoint him from afar with his very distinctive wide shoulders
• "My mommy is 50 meters behind me" girl- Whether she walks by herself or with a friend, her mom is always 50-100 meters behind her with her umbrella to protect her from the sun/rain
• Mr. and Mrs. "take a picture it will last longer"- A couple of elderly people who keep staring so hard that it just becomes too awkward
• Mr. mid-life crisis- He seems to be in his 50s but he dresses so upbeat and rides a red 307 CC with the top down
• Track and field dude- He takes a couple of laps jogging and then finalizes his exercise at the track and field area

I wonder what kind of superficial nickname each of these people has given me (c:
