Arabs suck at everything

I'm convinced of it. I've been convinced of it for a long time. Honestly, I came out here with an open mind. I gave everyone I met a chance. And time and time again the people that let me down/screwed me/pissed me off/needed their face fucking kicked in were almost unilaterally of Arab origin. I don't buy the Arab hierarchy that Egyptians are at the bottom of the food pyramid. All Arabs are liars, cheats and thieves, regardless of country of origin. Egyptian, Lebanese, Saudi, Bahraini I don't give a fuck. And I don't give a shit who knows. I've had them fuck me over too many times (with today being another time) and I'm sick of it.

I'm pissed, can you tell?

Today's incident at school is rather minor, compared to the royal fucks I (and pretty much any other westerner at our school) have experienced over the course of two miserable years at MKS. Not to mention the countless horrible experiences I've had with them outside of school. Arabs are Arabs, irregardless of where you have to deal with them. It's just worse when they are your superiors.

Now, do I regret coming to this country? Absolutely not. I met a wonderful person who otherwise I would never have met. I've traveled to a bunch of countries. And arguably most importantly, I will come back to the states (whether it be next year or a few years out) with first-hand knowledge that Arabs are miserable, horrible people. The list of fundamental problems with Arabs could easily take me the better part of an evening to list here. If you really want to know, wait until you see me and give me a beer or two. Then I'll really let you know what I think of them. Suffice it to say it's not a pretty list. And I can verify every claim via personal experience. These are not merely stereotypes. These problems exist, and they are rampant.

Are there good Arabs? I'm sure. The entire race cannot suck donkey dick, it's statistically impossible. I just haven't met any.





On another note, I apologize for the lack of updates. You see, we have very little to no internet right now. While I can't directly attribute this one to Arabs, I can insinuate. Apparently an undersea cable from Egypt to Italy was cut a few days ago, close to the Egyptian side of the cable. That has left the entire middle east and India with no internet. Today is better then yesterday (where I actually thought I had hit the building's bandwith limit) but it's still shitty. Fucking Arabs.

You can show all the blood and gore you want, but don't show a woman's ass...

Oh no. Hell no. Not here. Check this out--I went to one of the malls last weekend, and they were having a world press photo exhibit. There were all these posters just like the one above scattered across the mall with award-winning photos from news photographers all over the world like the New York Times, Time Magazine, etc. All was well and good until I ran across this set of photographs. They didn't look out of the ordinary until this (below) caught my eye...
Someone had taken paper and blocked out this woman's bikini-clad ass. And when someone pulled that off, someone else apparently used a marker to attempt to black it out. Amazing. And what amazed me even more was that many of these photos were extremely gory, to the point of making one ill--but no one blocked those out with a black magic marker. Let me show you a few...
Here's a nice collage of death and smoke...
And better yet how about a dead baby in a casket?

And if that wasn't enough how about a guy whose arm has been blown off?

It's amazing. Arabs don't give two shits about bad language or about blood and gore. What they do care about is sex, and any hint of it. The photo of that woman was anything but sexual, but yet these narrow minded fucks saw just that--sex.

Adding chaos to a clusterfuck

So I'm going to try a new way of posting . Get this--instead of me telling you about the photos way AFTER I post it, I'll tell you directly underneath the picture!! What a novel concept! So here we go. The other week some asshole from the Khalifa ruling family was supposedly going to visit the school on some sort of "ruling family connect with the common people" pledge. Lovely. Anyway, the guy that was going to show up was a dude named Shaikh Nasser, who is the son of the King or something to that effect. A far cousin, a bastard son, a son from a tenth wife, I don't know who the hell he was (or really give a shit). Can you tell I'm pissed about this? Arabs are all about show, and show we did. The higher ups in the school spent a week hanging fresh new Bahrain flags everywhere, repainting walls, basically candy-coating the school for this dude. Really they were just shy of actually sucking his dick. Our part in this whole get up was to have the 4th and 5th grade kids line up in a tunnel for him to walk through, reminiscent of the one I used to do in band in high school for the football team at the Friday night game. And if this whole ass kissing wasn't enough, the high school was having it's "global village" at the time. This "global village" really was just a bunch of booths set up that the high schoolers had food and various cultural doo dads from various countries. Basically it added chaos to a clusterfuck. This is that dude who's dick the school was sucking. I really like the fact that he's got a satchel made of bullets in a country where guns are illegal. Amusing. That corridor directly ahead is where we were to line up the kids.
The police presence was amazing, the day before this little shebang they came through and inspected the area for sniper points. Nice.


Rachel with some of her girls in the "tunnel."
Laurie with some of her hellions again in the "tunnel."
A good shot of the tunnel. The stairs I'm standing on to take this photo was in the flightpath for this Shaikh dude on the way to the auditorium. The kids in this photo were lucky because they were in the shade, a good majority of them were actually outside in the 90 degree plus heat. And if that wasn't bad enough, they brought us over here to stand over an hour before the scheduled visit time. And if experience has taught me anything over here it's that Arabs ARE NOT punctual people. True to form, this cocksucker was over 25 minutes late. By the time he actually walked through this tunnel, we had 3 girls pass out. And I'm talking THUMP on the concrete pass out--like a sack of potatoes. I was freaking out. I don't know what the hell to do with a passed out 9 year old! One of them Rachel picked up and rushed over to the administrators office to get her water and help--and get this---THEY WOULDN'T LET HER IN EVEN WITH A PASSED OUT CHILD IN HER ARMS!!! Fuckers!! Arabs are all fuckers. Every last one of them. They are so concerned with their goddamn image that they denied an unconscious child access to water and help (because that's were they were preparing the food and whatnot for this cocksucker). Luckily the doctor saw Rachel and was able to help her, but that is still one of the most fucked up things I've seen out here. Now you would assume that the first kid that passed out would have been an indicator to wrap things up and get these kids back into the AC and some water--but no, we stood outside the whole time. Kids were in tears because their friends were passing out left and right. Amazing.
Ok. Calm down Byron. This is our friend Kate in her China get-up. She was helping some of her students with the China booth in the global village and decided to look the part. Little fan and all.
A shot of the global village sign before I assembled the poor souls (kids) in the tunnel.
I'm not. Fuck you, Shaikh Nasser. I don't give a shit who you are, especially if you think you're shit doesn't stink because you were lucky enough to be born into a rich ruling family that made themselves that way by force. (And thank God this blog is private:)
The stage that someone (I don't know who) was planning on dancing on.


This is Naiim, a 5th grade language teacher from South Africa. He's a good guy and is loaded with cool stories--athough I find his accent extremely heavy and hard to understand sometimes, his stories (what I can understand of them) are bad ass.
Here are the administrators and owners of the school getting their panties in a bunch because this dude is finally here (25 minutes late, did I mention that?)
And here he his. Whoopdie fucking doo.
This is Shaikh Nasser and his posse going up the stairs. I took this picture namely because you can see all the different types of thobes (all of which are ceremonial except for the standard white one.)
There's that stage in action, after the Shaikh passed. Something interesting that I didn't catch until I was loading this photo was the banner that said "Welcome to Bahrain" at the top of the stage. Isn't this fucker FROM Bahrain? Last I checked, he was part of the ruling family of Bahrain--why the hell would you welcome him to a country that his family rules? Arabs, besides being full of themselves, are sometimes not the brightest people around either.
This guy emerged from the admin office where Rachel tried to take the passed out little girl. This Indian was hauling ass through the crowd, I'm glad this picture came out. You can see how pretentious this whole fucking thing was.
This is on the way back, you can see the security associated with this dickwad. I like how one is talking to Khalid towards the back of the line.
And the final picture was taken after I finally got my kids back to my room. It was supposed to be reading time, but they were so worn out that Mona and Noora were passed out right in front of me. I totally understood.

Some buildings, some sand, some palm trees

Rachel and I were casing out a park to take our kids on a field trip to when we took these photos last week. They're not all that interesting, but I'm going to note a couple things. The first is that this USED to be the coastline until they started land reclamation for a new "Bahrain Bay" project. And in all reality, this wasn't truly the natural coastline anyway, that originally sat about a quarter to half mile inland from where we are standing. All those tall buildings that are in the background, hell, any land at all you see in these pictures was at one time sea. A good portion of the northern part of the island is reclaimed, it's really an amazing feat. Anyway, back to the pictures. I included the 3rd picture because you can see a nautical navigational light that was once for boats now sitting high and dry. That amused me. The 4th picture is of the yet unfinished Word Trade Center with the newly-installed triple turbines. Those bad boys are huge, and are expected to provide the building with (ready for this number?) 11-15% of it's total power needs! WOW! That's huge! I'm sure the cost to design, manufacture, install, and maintain those is way less than the amount they'll save on their government subsidized electric bill (catch the sarcasm there?). And I also forgot to mention that this is unchartered territory, the only other large scale wind turbine project like this failed on a building in Singapore. Fucking ridiculous if you ask me. I've come to the conclusion that Arabs are for show only. As long as it looks cool, as long as they look like they are trying to be "green" in a country that thrives off of oil, then fuck it if it actually works. I'm convinced that's their mindset.

Arabs suck at event planning

Among many other things. Anyway, Rachel and I went to the F1 track the other day to watch a "drifting" event that they were having at the track as a promo for the Grand Prix this month. They also had advertised a British stunt motorcyclist which I was interested in seeing. It was free, and we were bored. So we said fuck it, went, and made it just in time to catch the motorcycle's second show, which was cool--from what we could see.

Ok, time for a rant. The Arabs suck at event planning, case-in-point this "drifting" event. The F1 track is huge, with plenty of grandstand seating for even the largest F1 crowd. So when I was reading about this event, where they promised to have professional car drivers "drifting" and the show bike guy where the admission was free, I expected to see a huge turnout because Arabs by and large are mooches. And I was right. When we got to the track, there were hundreds of people. So, common sense should dictate that free event+lots of marketing=lots of people. Then, common sense most likely would derive that lots of people should =ample area for them to view event. That's where they lack common senses. Instead of doing this event in the infield of the track where people could sit in the stands and everyone could get a clear view they instead did it in the parking lot. They erected a fence that was about 100 yards long that you could stand by of which only about 60 yards provided any type of view of the cars or motorcycle stunts. Besides the short glimpses I got of the motorcycle (see first picture) it really was a waste of time. They took what could have been a nice evening watching cars into a clusterfuck which is what I've learned the Arabs are good at doing.
