I'm back BABY!!! :P

Where to start… well I can start from the beginning, I guess that’s as good a place as any. Why am I writing this now? Ok I’ll explain…

Well some of you are already familiar with my previous writings. Now it’s a bit different. Before I was writing as a “blogger”, now I’m writing as a person. As myself, as Abdulaziz.

This will be very personal, it will only be personal. Of course, personal doesn’t mean posts will only be subjective right? For my sake, for my personal well beings sake, I have to be objective most of the time, and sometimes… subjective.

I think this blog will revolve around my life, which means, it will have a lot to do about work, about my work, what I do, the highs and lows of my everyday job (but I promise it will be interesting… my job is very interesting).

I am learning and changing, and I want to portray this evolution of thoughts and feelings of mine in this blog… a soap opera... kind of.

Okay… problems that might arise from this style of writing…

1. If I talk honestly, how can I talk about people whom I work with, they might read this blog and they WILL know I’m talking about them.

2. How can I make fun of people? And what is life without making fun of people (disclaimer: I make fun of people and accept 110% people making fun of me [Future Post Subject here])

3. Because I’ll talk about work a lot, I sometimes cannot disclose confidential information. I need to find a work-around for this. I want to be completely transparent in whatever I write and say.

5. Sometimes, my personal convictions might offend people, this is true especially in the faith and religious department. My response to this? à :P (I think that’s clear)

Here is my pledge…

I pledge that:

1. This blog, again, will be honest, transparent, and as much as possible, a reflection of my soul rather than ego

2. It will do so in a fun, light, comedic at times, way

3. It will be interesting, especially in the business domain (more so for the Retail industry)

4. It might be provocative, border line controversial at times, so… read at your own risk

This will be an experiment… I might not continue… I’ll explain why…

I already mentioned that I used to blog right? I stopped because I didn’t feel the need to write… I still continued to have ideas and thoughts that might be “blog-worthy” but why write them? I do not need them validated by other people. I do understand that as human beings (evolved from single celled organisms [again that’s another post]) we need to be connected with other human beings, both mentally and physically, kinetics right? But I lost this… I don’t have that need, that urge to write and then read peoples’ comments… so I do not know what will be the end product, the love child, of this experiment, will it be a Frankenstein’s monster? Or will it be a haven for people like myself?

By the way, I am very glad that I have my FLIP. Its part of what got me excited about blogging again, so watch out for videos this time around. In hopes that you’ll enjoy them.


Oh and by the way... since i work in the electronics field, i'm pretty sure that i'll be reviewing many new gadgets and products even before they come out.

For example... very soon i'll have my Sharp Mebius laptop :D neat!
