إعادَة نَظَر - الشاعر الكبير مظفّر النوّاب

أنا ما لي أشتــــــــم الحكـــــــــــــــــام ؟

مــاذا ســــــأضـــيف

للــمراحيـــــــــــض

إذا قلت لها : أنت كنيف ؟!

وإذا ما قلــت للجيـــفه : يا جيــفه، مــا ذا ســوف يــجري ؟ هــل تجيــف ؟!

لا.. كفـــي الحـــكام شـــتما أنهـــم هــم!

وكفــا ني رادعـــا

أن بهـــم يـتــســــخ الشـــتم النظيـــف!

إني أعتـــــــذر ألآن - عن الماضي -

لإ حســـــــاســي الرهيــف

ولســـاني الطـــاهــر الحر العفيــف.

إنني لن أشـــتم الحكــام،

ما شــأني بالحكـــام؟

ملعــون ابو أشــــرفهــــم

إن كان فيــــهم أحــد حقـــا شـــر يـف

......

اللهم إليك نشكو ضعف قوتنا وقلة حيلتنا وهواننا على الناس يا أرحم الراحمين أنت رب المستضعفين وأنت ربنا إلى من تكلنا إلى بعيد يتجهمنا أو إلى عدو ملكته أمرنا إن لم يكن بك علينا غضب فلا نبالي ولكن عافيتك هي أوسع لنا نعوذ بنور وجهك الذي أشرقت له الظلمات وصلح عليه أمر الدنيا والآخرة من أن ينزل بنا غضبك أو يحل علنا سخطك لك العتبى حتى ترضى ولا حول ولا قوة إلا بك

Raindrops are falling on my head

Rumor has it .. yeah and the sky obviously says that it won't be raining for a couple of days and this sucky weather will continue ..lots of sunshine and freezing cold , and people still complain about rainy days and how they bring them down !

Yeh ! despite how much i love the carpenters i still don't like and don't relate to "Rainy days and Mondays always get me down" , i actually wait for rainy days the entire year , every step i take in those days is carved upon my memory , every time i want to memorize something beautiful it's usually followed by "..when it rained.."

The focus in this picture was supposed to be on the fallen leaf , ended up cropping it and leaving the water circles caused by raindrops , such magical things , makes you want to wash away everything in your site to enjoy nothing but them .. <3

All i need is a bitter song

"We" as human beings , for no specific reason , tend to search for the things that cause us the greater damage , out of all the candy the ones that are the fastest to give us rotten teeth are always the best , knowing that we'll pay sooner or later by taking the bitter medicine or painful needles .. That could possibly be the main reason behind most of our actions , to learn a lesson .. yet somehow after all this and that we hardly ever do ! either we get it wrong , or get it ... but by learning the wrong lesson . and that is the essence of life : when it doesn't make any sense !


just like every single word in this entry

I miss being all creepy and alone with a good friend to talk to , and not a million i can't even hear..

iLike : Fair to Midland

Fair To Midland

This band is ( in all means ) a winning combination of all what could impress me in music , when i first heard my favorite song by them " tall tales taste like sour grapes" i realized that i finally found my band ! they're literally amazing ! a mixture of powerful addictive instrumental performance , meaningful strong lyrics and astounding vocals ! Suitable for all tastes :D the music has a metallic feel to it and the vocals are sort of folksy ( in my opinion) .

And here's my favorite song , Enjoy !

Too much patience,

No resistance,

Within shouting distance,

You can hear a blind man's bluff,

Dragging names through the mud and still bitting his tongue,

The devil's in the air and I'm spitting out prayers,

While the ravenous all eat their fill,



Tell me, tell me a story,

Tell me not to worry, or pick up the phone,

So turning, turning a deaf ear,

So that I don't hear them throwing stone,



Too much hogwart,

Not enough hearsay,

Always made the front page,

You could use a fine tooth comb to get a word from the wise,

Would be a welcome surprise,

Keep an ear to the ground so to drown out the sound of the failures that make me whole,


Tell me, tell me a story,

Tell me not to worry, or pick up the phone,

So turning, turning a deaf ear,

So that I don't hear them throwing stone,



These walls don't talk,

Even when somebody knocks,

These walls don't stand,

For anyone else but themselves,

These walls don't fall,

Even when gravity's failing us all,



Tell me, tell me a story,

Tell me not to worry, or pick up the phone,

So turning, turning a deaf ear,

So that I don't hear them throwing stone

Foof's way to High Key

If you search for the high key effect in well known Ps tutorials websites you'll probably get a tutorials that shows how to turn a photo to a selective black and white something , anyhow this tutorials is different from the usuals ( i suppose ) as i have figured out the technique on my own , i assume it's high key because it's the closest to it :D

Note : this tutorial works best for images taken indoors with a good amount of natural lightning , could work for anything else though , but best on the mentioned previously

Now let's get down to business *_*

First of all we open our image, i got this picture from stock exchange , here's a quick tip , NEVER get a picture from deviant art or anything displayed on forums as صور التصميم which are taken from DA as well ! because all of those images are edited already and that will will guarantee that they won't sue your butt ^_^

and here's the original image


Now the orignal background layer will have a lock icon on it , click it twice and then click ok as the window appears . sorry i forgot to explain that in a snapshot !

Now your layer is ready , duplicate it by right clicking it > duplicate layer


Next, hide the copy you made as we're only working on it to make the last touches , the hiding is very simple , done by clicking the eye icon on the left , the icon indicates the layers invisibility , make sure the eye is gone :)





Now back to the original layer , click the adjustment layer icon in the bottom of the layers palette , and choose a Gradient adjustment layer *



from the gradients collection choose black and white , then change the blending mode to Color




You will get a black and white picture ^^ now next step is to get the high key effect , a new adjustment layer , Brightness and Contrast





Set the
brightness to 60 Contrast to 80

For the last touch , we're going to make the invisible copy of the original layer visible again , simply by clicking the eye visibility icon , and set the layer's blending mode to Soft Light




We're done ^^
here's the result and the original image






* I have used a gradient layer assuming that many may not have CS3 , but if you do , a black and white layer is easier to use and without changing it's blending mode , this is only for Cs3 users

NoteS : you may use a solid color adjustment layer and set it's blending mode to Color isntead of a copy of the original layer , i have tried this with sepia , not bad !




another thing , you can leave it as a black and white photo once you've set the brightness and contrast , will be good as well

Any further questions i'm here , and excuse me if i'm bad at this =(

A Vanishing Symphony

And now , here i am mourning all the melodies that i have locked to death , taking all my strings away , where no one listens but silence .. i want to steal my soul from you to the dimness of nowhere ... your sunshine has blinded my heart

No more counting all your lies , No more waiting for your goodbyes
