Salim's World - Where good friends & girls meet

My life just got a whole heck of a lot more challenging!!!

2010-02-20T09:15:00.003-06:00

My baby can crawl!!

Fun at PRG

2009-12-28T16:47:00.001-06:00

Retarded Czech guy drinking from the wrong side of the fountain.

Pro-littering rules???

2009-12-28T16:44:00.004-06:00

I am sure I must be misunderstand this but it looks like the left sign says it is ok to throw bottles out the window.

I wouldn't have even commented except I saw this sign:

on the way back from Berlin to Prague, which seems so say to not throw trash in the trash cans!

Women of the world

2009-12-26T18:01:00.001-06:00

I will share what I have learned on my travels speaking the international language of love (it's English, btw. It conveniently happens to be the international language of everything else too...).

Polish women are all angry. Every single one.

Czech women really seem to like wearing dead animal furs.

Uzbeki women have questionable taste (this is based on the fact that the one I met was really really into Hindi movies... yes, I said it! What're ya going to do about it!?!)

I think only the giant German women ever leave the country. The sample here seems quite normal sized unlike their giant foreign traveling bretheren.

Finally Canadian women... hehe, I'm not going anywhere *near* that one!!!

Berlin train station

2009-12-26T18:00:00.003-06:00

Sweet, the worse sushi ever!

German bottled water

2009-12-26T18:00:00.001-06:00

Volvic. Volvic?? Seems like an odd name for water... seems vaguely sexual...

Just got to Berlin

2009-12-24T04:03:00.001-06:00

If Polish is the language without vowels, then German is the language without spaces... how freaking long are the words here?? There seems to be a 3 syllable minimum on all written words!

These Czechs are weird

2009-12-24T04:00:00.003-06:00

Somehow, this guy was supposed to entice you to come into a Thai massage parlor!

MJ rides again

2009-12-24T04:00:00.001-06:00

Seen in Prague, Old Town Square... what is with this trip and strange Michael Jordan stuff??

Sign of the apocalypse

2009-12-23T18:17:00.001-06:00

I heard something which can only be interpreted as a sign of the coming armageddon or the harbinger of the *5th* horseman of the apocalypse... I heard Jose Feliciano's "Feliz Navidad" randomly on the streets of Prague...

More fun on LOT Polish Airways

2009-12-23T18:08:00.005-06:00

This cracks me up... it's a door handle clearly designed for 'pulling' even tho it is marked 'push'.

This remind me of this old Far Side cartoon.

Polish people don't fear terrorism

2009-12-23T18:08:00.003-06:00

How else can you explain this crazy-mad madness! It's a metal knife people! A metal butter knife on an airplane!!

How many Pollack's does it take to, oh, never mind...

2009-12-20T18:05:00.003-06:00

Been reading, well "reading," some Polish literature while waiting for our LOT Polish Air flight to take off. As far as I can tell, I don't think the Polish language has any vowels... they say if you put 1000 monkeys in a room banging on 1000 typewriters eventually you will end up with the complete works of Shakespeare. From what I can tell, everything else they create will be in Polish.

Fun in O'Hare...

2009-12-20T16:22:00.001-06:00

Freaky Michael Jordan bench...

East coast madness

2009-12-20T16:03:00.001-06:00

Well the madness in East Coast weather has certainly thrown our travel plans in flux. Instead of being in Dulles going to Casablanca, we are at O'Hare going to Prague...

Dancing Queen

2009-08-15T17:41:00.004-05:00

Young and sweet, only 17... days!

So you think you can dance... my answer is a resounding yes. My kid is definitely destined to be a future "Dancing with the Stars" champion. Here she is, tearing it up on the dance floor.

Robo-Mom

2009-08-02T22:13:00.003-05:00

I think that this has to be one of the most phenomenal pictures I have ever seen in my entire life!! This is not faked, this is not a joke. This is an ad I received in the mail for a real product. Some sort of cybernetic-android-milk-harvesting-accountant it seems.

Or maybe some sort of breast pump, I'm not sure...

The many faces of Nisa

2009-07-19T03:30:00.005-05:00

Thanks to crazy-photographer-lady Umman, the already substantial collection of photographs of my baby has expanded dramatically. Her ultra-realistic photographic technique make you feel like you are right there with her...

We also see insights into future potential careers. Like world-renowned concert pianist or crazy club dancer.

Top 8 reasons why my manhood is over...

2009-06-25T04:45:00.007-05:00

The arrival of my baby has spelled many changes in my life, both expected and not. Following are the 8 reasons (so far!!) that I will never be able to wallow in the cesspool of pure manhood even again:

I am now outnumbered 2 to 1 in my own home so will lose any vote that goes along gender lines (granted, the addition of the baby didn't actually change anything on that front)

I found *27* hours of Oprah on the DVR... Mumtaz initially said to leave all of it!

The first movie we saw in 6 months was "He's Just Not That Into You" not "Watchmen"

I know that "he's just not that into you" is a reference from Sex and the City

I will admit to watching Sex and the City

One room of the house is already lavender, the rest are scheduled to be some sort of pastel or girly color

Breasts are no longer for looking or playing, but rather for keeping the baby quiet

Did I mention, 27 hours of Oprah on the DVR?

5:17 pm - OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

2009-06-23T17:17:00.002-05:00

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

Worse thing about guests...

2009-06-22T07:09:00.002-05:00

The most annoying thing about having live-in guests (so far)... is that I can't pee with the door open.

...also, I can't lounge around in my underwear.

Army of darkness

2009-06-10T11:13:00.000-05:00

I feel like I am preparing for an army. An army of little people. Who else but an army would need so much supplies and sooo many vehicles?? Maybe I can invade Oklahoma. Or maybe Houston, then I can make it suck less.

Not a bright thing to do

2009-06-09T20:02:00.001-05:00

We bougt a crib from San Antonio. As a public service message, please learn from my mistake. When tying something to the roof, make sure you don't tie the door shut. Trying to get a pregnant woman to go through the window "Dukes of Hazzard" style just doesn't go over well.

The birds of Bodega Bay

2009-04-06T16:40:00.001-05:00

Saw this sign on the jetway as I was entering a plane at the San Diego airport... I am not really sure who it is directed at... is it just a general suggestion to all people to not feed birds or is it a specific directive to the ground staff... it can't possibly be directed specifically at passengers 'cause I have no idea where I would even find a bird that could survive a trip into an active airport!

More thoughts from a sleep starved mind

2009-04-03T21:47:00.000-05:00

There's something very refreshing about communicating with someone whose English is not that good. They are much more upfront with what they mean and can't hide what they feel in meaningless nuance. That's why I love this belt. They're not trying to fool you into thinking it is a leather-like substance ("faux leather") or something that is better than leather ("pleather"). It's just not leather, deal with it.

The buckle must not be real metal either, 'cause as I think of it, I didn't take it off when I went through security and it did not beep...
