Porsche Design Edition 1 Sunglasses
I rarely find sunglasses that fit or the ones that I like, so I stick to the ones I have for years or until they get lost and I have to go for another search all over again. This time around I found these sunglasses as I was browsing through a store with the family, and to my surprise they fit, look good and they are really light. You can even change out the lenses to the reflective kind isntead of the tinted ones. When did Porsche Design go into the realm of sunglasses, I have started to like their expansion into different products.
GulfRun - Tech Check
Its only about 10 days until the GulfRun event and things are picking up. I haven’t spent this much time in garages in a long time, but its a lot of fun getting things to fit right. Everyone had a list of things that needed to get done, new brakes, new race tires, alignment, new fluids for the engine, transmission, and brakes, and a long list.
My car has been in the garage for almost two weeks now and hopefully it will be done soon. Just waiting for one main ingredient to complete it. So I was helping the guys with all their tasks and so I was driving the support vehicle around filled with lots of parts from brakes and fluids, rotors, to racing tires and special rims. I haven’t driven a Chevy pick up truck in a long time and this was very funny, the car kept making weird noise but it does well to drive in a straight line.
2008 Chevrolet Camaro LS7 Concept
Since Transformers I have always had a liking for this machine, it has this retro look to it. I just hope that it handles just as good as the Corvette which Chevrolet did an excellent job with it.
But this concept is an amazing machine which I would want to get my hands on. Built with an LS7 Engine with 550bhp and 500lbs of torque. It probably sounds like a monster, and I really like the color scheme.

Napkit
Going to Napkit these days has become a habit, and the outdoor seating has been perfect timing since its nice weather. We usually have been going to Marina when the weather is nice, but we have come to enjoy Napkit. And I have to say they really do have good music playing in the early morning. I do get hungry seeing all the different types of sandwichs that they have available. I tend to eat a cesear salad, thinking its healthy enough and its a satisfying meal to degree, but I can still eat some more but I don’t.
Then there is one of our friends who comes in with a very angry face, and it gets better after he has two double espressos for his morning drink. To say that he is addict to it is an understatement. I think my favorite sandwich is called the Crowd Pleaser, and I do like the croissant with turkey and cheese. Its a restaurant with a different selection of items, and again good music.
Saturday Riding
The past couple of days have been nothing but amazing weather, even when it rains a little I still want to ride. The best part of waking up so damn early on a Friday morning is having the streets of Kuwait completely to yourself. Met up with Vampire and Monichum around 7ish at Starbucks Bide’a. We had our route planned out like usual, we were thinking about going to Julai’a but we didn’t have the time.
Even when waiting at Bida’a we kept seeing bike after bike passing by, engine roaring as they are going from sport bikes to cruisers and of all makes. Its a great feeling these bikers out at this time taking advantage of the amazing weather. I do prefer the cold over the heat anytime of the day. We took off down the GulfRoad enjoying each and every curve it had to offer, and the past part is taking it without worrying about the next idiot who will lean on you.
After finishing up our nice ride we headed back to Starbucks Bida’a and met up with a few guys we knew. It was a bunch of Ducatis and one KTM parked there, it was honestly a beautiful site and that was left was for us to be in some village in Italy.
Gears Of War 2 - FTW
I think I am the happiest man when I got my hands on Gears of War 2, even the cover looks cool. I’m downloading the content right away and I’m probably going to be playing this game into the night. I want to finish the single player and co-op missions, then playing the multi-player after getting really good at the single player. And I fixed my XBox Elite, picked up yesterday from Rihab. They fixed it for 30 KD, they changed the lens which was scratching the hell out of every disc they put it in, and they changed out the CD Rom mount so now its good as new, they can always fix anything at Rihab just give them time.
KTM RC8-R
Just when I think that KTM made a great machine with the RC8 and I’m loving, they turn around and make another monster. They are really full of surprises, and especially with the KTM RC8 R.
Its been bored from 1148cc to 1195cc and tweaked to produce 180 bhp with the racing kit. With its orange-black-and-white paintjob, high-spec fully adjustable WP suspension, Brembo brakes,light weight cast aluminium wheels, and a dry weight of 183 KG.
Review: Step Brothers
I’m usually a bit skeptical about Will Ferrel movies but I felt like a comedy which required very little thinking. It started off being pretty funny as usual, you get into the film knowing that there are two 40 year old boys who still act like 10 year olds. I kept laughing at how insanely stupid this movie is, I didn’t think Will Ferrel could go any lower. I was full and my stomach hurt from laughing at my friends’ reactions. I never thought watching a movie can make you dumber, but that is the only thing I felt after watching this movie. I really couldn’t believe they made something like this, it takes a special person to love a movie like this. It was funny in a very very dumb way and at times you just can’t believe it.

Revenge for a Week
Another week has gone by and I have done pretty well for myself. I stuck out the whole diet except for one day. I might have a salad and a few shrimps, or taboulah with hummus to change all the damn salads I had for dinner all week look.
Saturday I felt like having Chinese again from Wok Master, and I ordered a nice combination of items and a few of my friends showed up. The best show to watch is honestly The Big Bang Theory, its just so damn funny. I proceed to place items on my plate, and I just kept eating. I was making up for the whole week of not eating much. After finishing I was so full I literally could not move, I was in a state of near explosion for a long period. We watched a movie and the pressure was slowly coming down. Overall I have been happy with the progress in one week with diet and exercise I managed to drop a solid 3 KGs, and in one sitting I think I ate it all back. I’m going to be hitting the gym a little harder this week.
Windows 7 - Shipping Mid-09
After all the developments behind Windows 7 they have anounced the shipping date which is good news. I’m planning on building a system but not sure how it will work for Windows 7 or if I should wait. The best thing they said is that if it works for Vista, then it will work for Windows 7. Its meant to load quiet a bit faster with a lot better features, and more stable from off the bat. This is what Windows Vista should have been, and I’m really looking forward to trying it out.
