produce these promos

For those who don't know I'm a sound engineer, and I work for a company providing Saudi Telecom with an IPTV service. When the senior promo editor had to leave for a bit on an emergency I jumped at the opportunity to try my hand at video editing for a change.

Ripped off from my friend's facebook page:

Amro Othman: So what's the story behind these polystyrene letters? Let me guess. You and Aida saw it on a wall somewhere, and LOVED IT, omg its pink, etc, and it stirred the kleptomania deep within you, like a slumbering monster. So you stole it, and since then it has become the symbol of your youthful turbulent lives. Positive, loud, pink, hopeful. Even on a bad day you take a look at those bold pink words and it puts a smile on your face, and you look towards the future with renewed vigour.

One day, one of you two broke the D while moving it, and got upset. Maybe the other one told the clumsy one off for being careless, but soon the tension was over because the radiant happy energy emanating from HAPPY DAYS told you girls to stop bickering and resume cuddling. Cuddling in your cute pink underwear because you're about to go to bed, and the feeling of bare tanned leg on bare even-more-tanned leg suddenly awakens a strange and unforeseen curiosity deep inside your loi-[censored, please private message for full scene]

But inside both of you lies a dark truth. You know that in the (very unlikely) case that you have a big argument and fall out, only one of you can keep HAPPY DAYS. And so both of you have a plan to steal it and keep HAPPY DAYS to yourself. But that might not work... how do two equally skilled kleptomaniacs out-theive the other? Aha, the conflict must be settled by something else...

A battle of wits! No, no... swedish girls are hardly known for their sophisticated wit. Especially since the one that had non-swedish blood decided to go blonde anyway, so yeah no chance there. Instead, it will go down to WHO SAW IT FIRST! Oh no, how does one retain any sort of objective reason in a WHO SAW IT FIRST contest? Answer: You don't. Each party will just keep raising their voice till the one who screams the loudest will get HAPPY DAYS. But how does one retain any sort of objective reason in a shouting contest? Answer: you can't.

So with sharp, manicured nails bared the two parties are done with words. It goes down to the CATFIGHT. "I'm going to make you eat your hair you nouveau-blonde b*tch!!", hisses catherine. "Oh yeah, I'm going to poke you in your big pretty eyes you catty brunette bimbo!", snarls Aida.

And as they both struggle in that heated moment, staring into eachother's eyes with contorted expressions, something happens. In that moment, malice melts away and morphs passionate rage into raging passion, and they-[censored, you better get your paypal account handy because this scene makes the first censored one seem like sesame street].

So what's going on during all this catfighting and cuddling? Well, Amro sneaks in and decides HAPPY DAYS would probably look pretty cool in his new apartment. Although he should probably spray paint it green because in a guy's apartment the pink letters are a bit, well, let's just say he might as well turn the D upside down and break the cracked piece of to make it a G.

But before he does take HAPPY DAYS he decides to whip out his phone and record a video of the catfight and subsequent evolution thereof. If the last censored scene was like Toy Story, then this one is Toy Story 3... only Woody, Buzz Lightyear, and T-Rex are not the kind you'll find at Toys R Us if you know what I mean. And if you want a piece of THAT action ladies and gentlemen, you better whip out your shiny credit card, and that shit better be PLATINUM.

abandon their blogs

I did want to post lots of blog posts, but the combo of my Home PC being a massive drama queen and being super busy with work and moving apartment just made it impossible. So I'll take the easy way out and post a bunch of photos of what I've been doing lately. My friends are lazy and aren't giving me photos so you'll have to settle with crappy blackberry ones until later on:


Offroading 10 minutes from my place. Lots more wildlife than you think!

National day, that was nuts. The highlight was getting jizzed on with silly string by hot local girls. The other highlight was my battery dying on me in a jammed tunnel and having to get Kaissy to push me down to get it started again! The smoke in this photo is from engines blowing their gaskets...

Rugby 7's

Apple bobbing contest. Won that too...

Yeah, after years of avoiding it I've finally commited to a semi-regular gym schedule.

 Guns 'n Roses

Looking stoned

Guns 'n Roses was a great show

Chillin' at the DIFF party

The Bazaar of 5-star food was obviously the best part. The worst part was a friend of mine claiming she saw Steve Merchant and me spending an hour looking for him. And Stefan tricking me into approaching a balding lookalike, LOL!
