I hate the old Lahore

2:22 PM Ammar



U know wat i hate.. I hate purana Lahore.. So this is a magical place where both red and green lights mean go.. Where u don’t find trees.. Just flimsy branches sticking out of the ground.. Where noise cancelling headphones are a necessity not a luxury.. Where every tom dick and harry thinks they own the whole road.. Buses driving like motorbikes.. Weaving in and out of traffic.. With one hand constantly on the horn.. No one has any respect for traffic rules, one way streets or roundabouts.. As u may have guessed.. I just got back from Lahore and it was NOT pleasant! We Islamabadis are a gentle folk.. Like a herd of gazelles.. The slightest hint of trouble and we are outta there.. But not these guys.. It’s like they are looking for a fight all the time!
Oh and the smell.. The smell here is awful.. I imagine its like horse manure garnished with rotten eggs and bad cheese stuck in a microwave.. Yeah.. It’s pungent but not immediately.. At first its a faint odour.. Then it hits u like a locomotive! For all those who think i'm lying.. Go look for yourselves! And lahories thinking about sending me hate mail.. I’m not talking bout defence, gulberg, model town or cantt.. Its just the rest of it.. the walled city.. yucki gate.. anarkali.. bund road.. No offence to the people living there.. I actually commend u on being there day in day out..
And who in their right mind thot of starting a dental school RIGHT NEXT TO THE RED LIGHT DISTRICT!!! Ok so it is probably a hundred years old.. but there are millions of better places for a well-reputed school.. Oh and they shifted a couple of years ago.. u know where? 500yards down the road.. and it still sucks!!
All im trying to say is.. the ministers, commissioners, mayors or whoever is in control.. is it so hard for them to leave their comfy six-bedroom houses in Defense and sit in an air conditioned foreign car with a chauffer cross the canal and go see how the other half lives! See the roads and the drains.. and do something about them! I heard this song the other day.. u'll think its lame.. but it was pretty close to the truth.. I think its called Bullshit.. by shehzad roy.. that’s how ive been feeling ever since I got back from Lahore..
I’ve had that writer’s block thing again.. just cant shake it!
Any advice?

I hate it when I get writers block..

3:00 PM Ammar



U know wat I hate.. I hate it when I get writers block.. no, not writer’s block, the album.. actual writers block.. ive been trying to write something for the whole of last week.. and I cant come up with ANYTHING!! I’ve sat down on my laptop like 15 times everyday for seven days.. well not sat ON it.. u know wat I mean.. hmm.. ive been stuck at this last sentence for over 10minutes now.. granted im watching how I met your mother..but that’s no excuse.. HIMYM.. good show.. Doesn’t compare to friends tho.. but still pretty good.. but recently I noticed something.. some of the characters become sort of annoying.. Lily for one.. wat the hell is wrong with her?! Nag nag nag.. isn’t that promoting the generalization of married women nagging all the time? Barney and his suits are always a breath of fresh air.. and the girls.. haa haa.. well.. no complaints there.. the girls are better on HIMYM than on friends..
GAWD its so hot these days.. According to the news today was 106F.. and its horrible.. no wind blowing.. not even a whisper!! And I had to get work done on my car.. got new tyres!! Wohoo!! Hey wat happened to tubes? All the shop had was tubeless tyres! I remember when I got my first bicycle.. with that came the first flat tyre.. and I was shocked to see that there was this whole other thing inside!! Haa haa.. I was stupid at that age.. children are so stupid!! I was watching this video online.. its about a baby.. and his mom put his milk bottle on top of a stoop with sloped sides.. and this lil kid.. keeps climbing and sliding back down for like 15MINUTES!!!! Persistant.. yeah.. but I was still laughing my ass off!!
X-men marathon tonight.. started off with Wolverine:Origins.. great movie for all the clawed-animal fans out there.. intense action sequences.. specially the one where our hairy hero is being chased by bad guys in a chopper.. and also where the two brothers fight it out.. Wade aka deadpool was really cool, that is before he became Deadpool.. his quips were HI-larious.. speaking of deadpool.. hez got his very own movie now and its coming out 2011.. don’t miss it! and Sabre tooth in this was much better than the one in all the other X men movies.. then came X-men.. 10 years gone by and that movie is still one of its kind.. I cant get the shape shifting mystique out of my mind.. DAMN.. I think that says it all.. as always sequels can’t hold a candle to the original.. X2 united was just on the fence for me.. although adding a few more mutants into the mix was a good idea.. X-men3.. too much CGI for my taste.. they steered away from the comics in that one.. phoenix was an alien princess wasn’t she? Instead in the movie they make her out to be some kind of evil alter ego inside jean grey.. hmm.. for someone with a mental block.. this aint half bad is it?
So wat did we learn today? Mutants are cool.. suits are cool.. chicks are cool.. and writers block is a bitch.. and the best way to beat it, is watch movies all day!!
Arite ladies and gents.. I would like to know.. wat is the one X-men superpower u wud want to have?
