I  Like to do things right, or so I believe. Others might say, no, this is a textbook addictive personality trait. Nevertheless, my coffee has to be so strong it gives me the shivers, my drink will get me drunk, my workout will get me numb and sore, if I like a TV series, my life will stop, and I will stay up for 2 nights in a row to finish it, ice cream must give me a brain freeze, my motto is: if 1 is good then 10 should do it. Have you ever liked a t-shirt so much you bought 5 of the same exact one? If you did, you will know what I am talking about, maybe not to the extent to be rushed to the emergency room for consuming a Costco Nutella jar during a Soprano episode!  Among the other effects of my “absolutely-nothing-in-moderation-attitude” are the facts that I can no longer drink tequila if my life depended on it, cotton buds are my worst enemy, I refrained from taking any medication, because I always think that I can take more to heal faster. Again, no mediocracy and no half-assing things GO BIG or GO HOME.
 
So, what’s up with all this tough macho talk you might ask?
 
Ok, here it is, I won a gift voucher for a full day pass at a renowned spa.

 Eid El Adha just passed, and I look around to realize that much of its tradition has changed so much that it is not recognizable anymore, I see kids hovering around on mini Segways while texting, I don’t know where to start in regards to how strange this picture is, don’t get me wrong, I am not by any means nostalgic or claim to belong to a generation who label this new generation as pampered rotten, but one must admit that we are the last surviving generation of the OLD WAYS.
 
Whether it was good or bad, that’s beside the point, but during the period of the “old ways” it was a completely different experience growing up, and it is not entirely technology related, attitudes were entirely different, admittedly there was no internet, or video games, no cell phones, back then calling a friend could have meant speaking to most of his family members before they get a hold of him, sometimes hearing an entire argument that was taking place in his house before he actually attended your call, and you could easily loose a friend because his brother decided to screen all his calls to spite him for wearing his shirt.
