أستراحة ، لو الزمن يرجع إلى وراء – الجزء الأول


تماشياً مع الموضة السائدة هذه الأيام في البلوغات ، ولكن بشكل مختلف بعض الشي، ماذا كنت سأصنع لو الزمن يرجع إلى وراء

دخلت القسم الأدبي بدلاً من العلمي، لأدرس التاريخ

لتعلمت العزف على الآلات الموسيقية وخصوصاً البيانو

لتعلمت لعب الشطرنج

مارست إحدى رياضات الدفاع عن النفس

إستثمرت أموالي (التي لا أملكها بالأساس) في سوق العقار الكويتي

لإستقريت بنيوجيرسي ولم أرجع إلى الكويت

أكملت دراستي بالولايات المتحدة
شاهدت مسرحية كاتز ، فقد ضحكوا على ذقوننا وقالوا إن المسرحية ستستمر إلى الأبد
زرت برجي مركز التجارة العالمي

قرأت الشعر أكثر من الروايات والقصص

صباح الخير
الغريب ان دراستك علميه:) مع ان اسلوبك القصصى جميع

لكن كما يقال لو علمتم الغيب لاخترتم الحاضر

Hello, and allow me to retort:

Why go into studying literature and history? The fields of humanities can be learned leisurely, and many noted historians came from technical and scientific backgrounds.

Music; OK I tend to agree that learning an instrument at a young age is the way to go for prodigy perusing a career in music as a performer, a virtuoso instrumentalist or a conductor. If you merely wish to play an instrument, fortunately we live in the age of the electronic keyboard – not to mention programs like iLife and Garage Band, so its not too late!

Chess; again not too late unless you were thinking of becoming a super master. I used to play chess as a youngster when a good game meant finding another player who equally happened to be in the mood for a good game. In this day and age of zillions of computer chess programs, a good game is finding a proper level for playing against the machine. No one really cares anymore unless its Kasparov against Deep Blue!

Martial arts: OK!

Investment in the stock market; how about the pre-2000 hi-tech market? Now those were the days!

Settling in New Jersey; emmmm, what about Denver – or “Denfar” as some people say it?! ;-)

Continuing your education; whats wrong with doing it now?

Visiting the WTC “Twins”; OK. Unfortunately its one of those places that you may or may not visit in a lifetime, its like those people who went to country “X” without visiting feature “Y”. However, since it was the site of a tragedy, I tend to agree. I know someone who avoids “Ground Zero” when he visits NY nowadays, to me its Dachau, whenever I visit Munich, Germany.

Poetry; now c’mon - its not like you are at the end of your life!!! Start reading one “dewan shi3r” a week from now on, and if you find yourself enjoying it you’ll become a regular “Abu 7usam” – may he RIP!

PS: no, Ididn't forget "Cats". Maybe a revival? But it’s a good lesson, “enjoy it when you can” :-)

Going back in time simply = being young, having all the time, and different priority

As for studying history, the idea is being a scholar rather than learning history; Scholar is commitment and investigation.

The piano, I do not believe the electronic instrument will replace the genuine touch of the real piano keyboard, needless to say the feeling

For learning chess, I did want to reach the level of being a master rather a professional level. Learning it now, well you can't teach an old dog new tricks.

Stock market; I agree, but why risk and spend the whole day watch the stocks going up and down, while you can put your money in Kuwait real estates and wait 1 year, the profit is 500% guaranteed.

Dude... New Jersey?! Which exit off the turnpike?

And Cats... you did not miss anything there, so don't worry

Zaydoun, I beg to differ. I’ve seen Cats – I don’t know, many times, I think in terms of musicals attendance it comes third after Les Miserables and Phantom, and according to my last estimate I’ve seen Phantom about 19 times – in many cities on two continents.

I’ve only seen the NY and London productions of Cats, and I think part of the attraction is that it has everything a mega-musical should have for a novice to Broadway, and that’s why I’ve seen it so many times – every time I had a guest visiting me I’d take him to Cats, its light on the plot but big on entertainment value.

At the end, its all a matter of personal taste. Two musicals I tried to like but couldn’t were those based on Disney films: Beauty and the Beast & Lion King. A non-musical that I’ve seen many times and absolutely loved – but it was panned by almost everyone I know – was Art.

A play that still amazes me in terms of how steady it has remained to its true core even after more than 50 years is, you guessed it: The Mousetrap, but of course I absolutely adore Agatha Christi!
