A New Blog

This isn't my first blog.

My email of yore (since this is the holiday season), falkisswani@gmail.com, I deleted.  And with it went my associated blog - I can't even remember what I called it - so perhaps it's for the best? Thank You.

I call this blog "Optimistically Up" - I'm surprised that handle was available on the very popular Blogger.com.  

What is the point of the blog? I don't know.  Who am I trying to reach? I guess everyone?  What's my mission in life?

To create the Matrix and, therefore, an individualized Utopia for all.  More to come on that.  In the meantime, here's a shirtless picture of me, because I love sex and I wish I could do that every day, all day, and I wasn't so burdened by my left-brain impulse to be angry at the status quo.


More to come.

With Love,
Fouad

The Good Criminal

Image
 I've always said that if I was ever held-up that I would ask the person "Why are you doing this? What's wrong?"  Turns out that I was too much of a pussy to do that.  I just cowered and let the person get away with belongings. But I digress.  I didn't write this article to complain, I wrote it to empathize. Because Criminals are people too.  And perhaps I was too hard on myself.  Why did the man steal my phone and backpack?  He needed the money and he had a message for me too: "People steal."  Whoops. I guess that one was partly my fault. Damn. I just disagressed again. Let me pull up. Last night, I started re-watching Hijack on Apple TV with Idris Elbda.  There was a scene when one of the hijackers held a stewardess at gunpoint while she spoke with the Co-Pilot who was also female.  The Co-Pilot refused entry to the cockpit. Stewardess: "She saying no." Hijacker: "She?" Stewardess:  "[The] First Officer." Hijacker:  "...

New Hope

 i DUNNO how to say this but I have new hoipe Why?  I think it was the old white lady on the bus who, as I was spinning about an email from the "Community Manager" here at WeWork who gave me feedback about 3 things that I did and was told that if I "kept it up" then my lease might be terminated. (1) Twice I picked leaves off a plant in the kitchen and put them in my coffee (I already received an email about this from the "Community Lead" and apologized for it - and haven't plucked any plant leaves since them). Also, this was referred to as "Damaging the Plants" (2) I put candy in the communal candy bowl.  I was accused of it being cannibis-laced.  It was not. (3) While cleaning the shared workspace, I put an old wrist-pad into a box and moved a filing cabinet 3 feet.  When he came in today I told him I did both and appologized.  Profusely. That's it. Anyway, this "New Hope" came in the form of the lady explaining to me (without ...

A Commentary on Amazon Prime's Expanse

Image
I'm a big sci-fi fan - more Star Trek than Star Wars and more Indepedence Day than Alien (though didn't the Alien's look the same in both?)...?  I'm rewatching The Expanse - I love  Shohreh Aghdashloo and her Chrisjen Avasarala - and honestly I love strong women. On TV/Film and in life. There are several things that I don't love about The Expanse (us vs. them nature of Mars and Earth, torture, black market dealings - all trade should be legal with consent) but I do love the role of UN Secretary General (played by Shohreh Aghashloo in later seasons, here she plays kind of a Secretary of State role as Deputy Undersecretary). Why? Because Earth has a singular governing entity who provides assistance (including housing and food) for everyone.  In this scene, Chrisjen (Season 2, Episode 9 - "The Weeping Somnambulist")  comments on the majority of earth relies on basic assistance because "It's not that they're lazy you know...it's just that we...
