The Journey

Look at this pendulum. See how beautiful it is. Can you feel it going back and forth. The sound is so soothing and relaxing. Tick. Tock. You feel you loosen up as your heart beats. Can you feel the tingling in your fingers. Your eyelids getting heavier. Relax. You're going into a deep trance. You can't open your eyes. Surrender to the tranquility.... When I write "song", you will do as I say... "Song" You love my song too much, it's aching. You want to get it and listen to it over and over again. You want to share it with all your friends. I won't let you suffer any longer. Go buy it. Now all I need is to share this blog with a million people. That could work 😈 The problem is reaching one million people. That is the actual problem. I bet if I can reach half of this number, I wouldn't have to use my hypnotic power to seduce people to do my bid 😂 I was never a convincing person. I have a hard time selling myself. Confidence have a

Ramadan is here... Instead of wishing a Happy Ramadan and sharing a photo of a lantern, I can't help but be sad for all the violence that happened a few days ago in United Kingdom and today in Egypt. People are entering Ramadan mourning their loved ones, some are mourning the death of their kids. This is heart breaking. No matter how sad or upset I am, I know it will never compare to people who are actually going through this right now. God save us and protect us all. It is crazy to think that right now, at this moment, someone around the world is getting married. Someone is having sex. Someone is having a baby. A baby is taking his first steps. Someone is dying. Someone is delivered bad news. Someone is crying "Help Me!" We are all living in this crazy, up and down world, never knowing, never controlling, just hoping for the better. So...Ramadan is one of the greatest and hardest months of the year. It's time to be spiritual, good and giving. It is also very h

My condolences to everyone in Manchester, UK and the whole world. The most terrible and devastating news. I'm sorry for your loss... There are no words that can reflect my sorrow, anger and pain. I'm so sorry for your loss... United Kingdom Prime Minister Theresa May said "We struggle to comprehend the warped and twisted mind that sees a room packed with young children not as a scene to be cherished but as an opportunity for carnage," So true...

Vital Correlation is the culmination of cultivated unison, derived by the revered acquaintance of an extravagant soul. You know what I mean? Neither do I 😂 Yep. It's that time again. I'm just standing still. I feel like someone in a train station, hoping for a train to come, to take me to my destination. The problem is, I've been waiting for too long and everyone I know hopped on. Most reached their destination and I'm still hustling 😱 I can get kicked out at anytime. Game over.  It's like the producer disappeared. The last time we talked, he was very energetic. "If I call you, this means the song is done", he said enthusiastically. It's almost three weeks now with no movement. I sent him a message today but got no reply. I'll call him tomorrow. I know there is nothing wrong, and I'm hoping the outcome is worth the wait. But it's cold here in the train station. The question that worries me the most is "What wil

"May God protect us" "May God make things easy"  I use these two phrases a lot. In arabic off course. "May God protect us" in arabic = "Rabena Yostor" (more or less) "May God make things easy"  in arabic = "Rabena Yessahel" These two phrases are common phrases. Everybody says them, but I think I use them too much....Actually I wish I could use them more often..like all the time 😌 Sometimes God wants to assure me that he's beside me and that he's got my back. I always believed in that.  I always felt lucky. No matter the situation I get myself into, God always lends a helping hand in the right time. I'm blessed. I don't have a number one hit yet. I'm not a billionaire and there is still so many things that I want. But what happened last Thursday, reminded me that I'm not alone. To tell this story, I have to start from the start, so bear with...😬 When I write, I write my point of view

Amazing Confusion. I finally got the art I planned to share a couple of days ago. I think I did this around 2002-2005. I was in the States at that time. I was on a student Visa, working on my green card. 9/11 had happened and nothing was certain. I was trying to make it back then, also. That's the reason I went to the States in the first place. I wanted to make music and movies. Tough break though 👌 It didn't happen.  But I learnt. The States is like a dream now. An awesome but very hectic dream. I really miss it. I wouldn't be here right now without my previous experiences. The question here is "Will my experiences make a difference or would I still be stupid?" 😂 I know the art is simple, but I like it. I see artists on the internet right now and I'm flabbergasted. Some people are really, really gifted.  This art was one of six or seven pieces of art that followed the same idea. A collection of black and white abstracts that I would nam

I wish I was able to put out a new piece of music with every blog. A free jam session. A snippet of a song in development. That would be awesome.  But since I only have lyrics and melodies. Taking any step in music is costly. To output anything decent, I have to hire somebody. It's true that sometimes I lay my ideas on Garageband , but it's something you don't want to hear 😬 Here are some T-shirt designs that I did a while back, around mid 2000's. They're ok.  This is not the graphic art I wanted to share yesterday but I'm just trying to keep the audience engaged.  A breakdown of my audience right now: • Few people from the PR company: I wanna thank them for their time and efforts. Sincerely.  • The spirits: I also wanna thank them for their time, although I know they have all the time in the world 😉 "Spirits, I know you are trying to leave positive comments but frustrated because your fingers are going through the keyboards. You c

My plan was to start today's blog with a graphic art I did a while ago. However, the external Hard Drive won't boot. Stupid hard disk 😡 Yes, when everything else fails. You can put a picture of a cute cat and dog. Everybody loves that. I got a great idea... It might actually work since I'm Muslim. My name is Ahmed. And I'm Egyptian. Also, I haven't shaved in a couple of weeks, so that's a plus. I could kidnap a famous person... Someone important... Definitely the media would cover that. When they ask for my demands, I'll demand that my song gets downloaded at least a million times. People should buy it, not the government in bulk. This might actually work 😝 I like the more dramatic ending... I'm cornered in Starbucks (Not a Sponsor) with the celebrity.  We're having Latte. Swat team closes in, demanding my surrender. There is a media frenzy outside. People gathered around their TVs. As I put my hand in my pocket...T

Wow 😱... I wanted to do some research on how I can promote my blog. I want it to get it out there. I'm trying everything.."I can".. to get people to listen to my music. Off course I knew I'll find a ton of information. We live in the internet age now. However something struck me like hammer on the head....Here is what real blogs look like. I feel like a kindergarten kid looking at college jockeys and cheerleaders.  I think what I'm doing should just be called "blo" without the "g". It doesn't qualify yet 😂😭 Anyhow, here are two great links for people who want to promote their blogs: (I didn't do much search. These were my first finds. First page on Google) https://coschedule.com/blog/how-to-promote-your-blog/#automatedcontentpushes https://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/blog-promotion-tactics#sm.000l7x1is1e56fsexjd1egrsocfrt When you read them, please share with me, since I only scrolled through the documents, with my mouth

"It's time to be relentless. It's time to play ball." I wrote this on my Facebook page's wall. I'm trying to keep the page afloat but I'm running out of ideas 😒 As long as I'm not spending on Facebook ads, the page is a dead town. "Ravenholm" for people who played Half Life 2; one of the best first person shooters ever made, by the way. I get a like or two, out of the blue, every week and no interaction on posts. Also, I have to admit that the page is getting kinda stale. Just uploading lyrics doesn't cut it. People want at least to see photos every now and then.... "I'm an artist, where is my music?"😫 Keeping up a page with interesting stuff regularly is not easy and I haven't been giving it the same attention as before. I researched the word "Relentless" before I published the post to make sure it described what I wanted to convene. Here is an excerpt from Vocabulary.com ( https://www.vocabular
