Splatters of my life : (Ch.3:The Guide)
I woke up in the morning at 7am. i headed right away downstairs after i finished washing my face and brushing my teeth.
"good morning" mom said
"good morning, mom"
"how was your first night?"mom asked
"it was ok"
"ok"mom said
"heres your breakfast "
"thanks ,mom"
"oh mom i forgot to ask you,can i go out with my friend from my old school in Utah today afternoon?"i asked mom
"what?,how ?,you're now in Cali"
"i know mom,but last night he told me that he's going to stay in cali for a month with his dad so he offered to show me around the city today,so can i go mom?,pleaaase?"i started begging
"he?,who's he?"she started questioning me about Jason
"he's Jason Owens,i found his number and i called him and he told me that he's in cali"
mom started thinking about it . "ok you can go,you need to explore the city to adjust the moving process"
"thank you , thank you , mom,he's going to pick me up at 4 he's just 2 houses away"
"oh so he's also a neighbor of ours"
"yea"
"ok then"
after i finished eating my breakfast i went upstairs to decide what im going to wear today
i found a cute white skirt with a sky blue tank top and a gray vest.
i took a shower,straightened my hair and it was only 10 am, 6 more hours to go, what to do now?
i went downstairs again and decided to watch the tv until its 3
nothing was really good on tv.i kept surfing the channels over and over again until i fell asleep .i could call it a nap . but it was more of a sleep.
hours passed and i woke up,i looked at the clock and it was 3:15! .Oh my god i was 15 minutes late than i was supposed to.I went upstairs quickly and started getting dressed .
it was finally 4 and the doorbell was ringing."Mom im leaving now" 0 shouted from the stairs while i was going downstairs quickly.
i opened the door and there was Jason,looking as perfect as he always did.
"Hi,neighbor" he said
"Hey,admirer "i said
"ooh so that's my new nickname then?" he said with a smile on his face
"haha yea it is"
"you know its not fair,you secretly admired me too"
"cant deny that"
"no you cant, neighbor"
"haha lets go"
"ok"
we went to his car and he opened the passenger door for me and he closed it after i got in the car
he headed to his driver seat and got in and he closed the door after him but he didn't start the engine.
"Cady,remember our conversation last night?" he asked me
"yes, i do" i answered
"remember that thing i told you i wanted to do but you weren't there right in front of me?" he asked again
i started thinking for a split second
"yes"
"well i've been wanting to do that for 3 weeks and i cant wait anymore so can i do it now?"
"and i've been wanting to do since freshman year and i cant wait any longer too"
he started leaning toward me and getting closer
i started to do so too
his warm lips touched mine and my spirit was flying inside my body when he was kissing me
i couldn't think of anything that moment.its like i wasnt in my body.its like i was dreaming.
"wow" Jason said after he finished kissing me
he looked at me right in the eyes and stared for 3 seconds
then he turned to face the driving wheel and i turned to sit properly in my place
"so where do you wanna go now?"He asked
"i don't know you're my guide"
"ok then,im going to show you a bit of everything in cali"
"okay"
he started driving and he took me to many amazing places .The malls,hollywood blvd,and ended the night with a dinner in hard rock cafe.
"you got another free time someday this week?"Jason asked
"yea ,why?"
"i wanna take you to california's symbol"
"what?"
"i mean the beach,its what california is famous for,right?"
"oh yea haha"
"so when do you wanna go?"
"um how about friday?"
"friday it is"
"cool"
we finished dinner and Jason drove me back home. He opened the door for me to get out of the car and he walked me to the doorway
"That was actually fun,thanks for taking me out i needed that" I told him
"i don't accept thank you's of that regular type"
"ooh really?,then how can you accept my thank you?"
"by this " he started kissing me after saying that
"so now you accept my thank you?"i asked him
"what?,that was me thanking you for accepting to go out with me"
"oh so now i have to thank you for taking me out and showing me around"
"if you want to,im not forcing you"
"believe me i do"
i kissed him
and then i waved bye and went inside the house with an overwhelming,exciting,happy feeling that ate my heart.
"so that's your friend?"my mom said , she was standing on the stairs waiting for me. and i can tell that she saw what me and Jason did .
"mom i can explain"
"ok then explain"
"i had a crush on him for so long and he told me that he did too,there's nothing's wrong with going out with someone you like ,right?"
"right, but i wish you've told me before"
"sorry mom"
"so what is he now?,your boyfriend?"
"i don't know mom,yea i think you can say that"
"be careful Cady"
"mom,why would you say that?"
"no reason , i just don't want you to get hurt "
"thanks mom but i wont because we both like each other"
"ok i just wanted to advice you"
"thanks again mom,goodnight"
i went upstairs to my room and shut the door after me
i was about to scream from happiness
but i didn't because my sister's sleeping next door and i didn't want to wake her up.
i checked my email and i got an IM from Jason saying 'you cant imagine how much fun i had today,XOXO'
i sent him back an IM saying 'i can imagine,because i had the same amount of fun , XOXO'
i shut my laptop off and went to bed .

Splatters of my life : (Ch.2: Flashback)
I turned my cellphone off to start unpacking my stuff.
i grabbed my boxes and my suitcases one by one from the van and dragged the heavy ones on the floor to my room that i've chosen from the 4 rooms in the house.
"don't you wanna have some rest from the long road trip" mom said when she saw me dragging my suitcase on the floor to my room.
"i just wanna wake up in the morning and find everything is done and unpacked" i answered
"sorry honey, but we don't have any super powers, you gotta have some patience you know" mom said
"oh well i gotta finish unpacking by midnight,its not like i have any school tomorrow its Saturday night"
"fine with me"
i finished moving my boxes and suitcases to my room and started unpacking
-1 hour later-
i opened my school backpack and found a small folded piece of paper .I unfolded the paper and started reading what was written in it. A phone number was written in it and the name Jason was written above it.
Jason?
all i remembered was Jason Morelli, my freshman year crush. I had a crush on him since my first day in high school and now im a junior .But i never really had the nerve to have a conversation with him or just a chat.He was the typical high school hottie.He was a varsity quarter back,the most popular guy in the school,and had a blonde hair,and magical blue eyes.But i doubt that he really knew who i am .
and how did his number get into my backpack? and how long did it stay in there?
alot of questions started to appear in my head. I didn't know any answer to any question.
i turned on my cellphone and started dialing the number. I wanted to know what really happened out of curiosity.
i started to get nervous while waiting for him to pick up
"Hello" Jason finally picked up
"uh hi" I said
"Who's this?" he answered
"its Cady owens, i was in the same high school you're in now"
"oh hi Cady, how are you?" he asked . He was talking to me like we knew each other since long time ago
"im fine thanks,i just wanted to talk to you about something"
"ok, whats the thing you wanna talk to me about?"
"i found a small folded piece of paper in my school backpack and your name and number was written on it"
"Oh that"
"that?, are you the one who put it in there?" things were about to be revealed at that moment
"yes it was me who did that"
"ok can we talk about it more? , i mean explain?"
"Cady here's the thing,i really liked you but never had the guts to say it out loud to you face to face because i didn't know if you felt the same about me,i guess i was afraid of your rejection.." he said
i interrupted him as soon as he said that
"afraid of my rejection? ,how can any girl reject you at school,you're the school's most popular guy"
"its not all about popularity you know,and don't you want me to explain more?"
"yes, please"
"ok then let me finish"
"ok go ahead,sorry"
"3 weeks ago you left your backpack on a table in the cafeteria and went somewhere to bring something i guess,and before you came back i stuffed the paper in your backpack,i was thinking maybe you'd actually call me and notice that i like you" he said
"i waited 2 days and i saw you allot at school but you never looked at me you were always either busy chatting with your friends or in a rush, but then 2 days became a week,and a week became two,then i thought that you didn't want to call me or you don't like me so i stopped trying to smile at you every time i see you in the school hallways or in the cafeteria,i lost hope" he continued
silence was killing the moment after he said that
"hello" Jason said
"oh sorry,umm jason can i tell you something now?"i told him
"sure,i told you my side of the story now tell me yours"
"did you that i liked you since freshman year?,do you know that i never really found the paper until now?"
i decided to tell the truth and not act like im hard to get
"its nice to know the first part but the second part is the part i never thought of" he said
"Jason i was just unpacking and i found the paper in my backpack and was wondering what brought it in here so i decided to call you and find out how and why,but i've found my answer now"
"Cady,if you were right here in-front of my right now i would so kiss you"Jason said
i didnt reply to that because i wanted that to happen so bad
"Cady can we hang out sometime soon?" Jason asked . was he asking me for a date? for real?
"Jason i would really love that but if i had found the paper a week ago it would've been nice"I told him after i digested the harsh fact that reminded me that im hours away from where he is right now
"Oh why" he asked
"i just moved from Utah to California, it was a sudden decision that my mom made for all of us , me ,her and my sister" the fact became a little bit bitter now that i know that i left 2 great guys who liked me back in that place.
i wanted to go back there right at that moment.
"what you're in cali now?,like where exactly in cali?"Jason asked,he sounded a bit excited which was weird
"im in OC right now,why?" i answered
"it's gotta be fate,because im staying in OC with my dad for a month,its a part of the custody deal he and mom made at court a year ago"he said
"so right now you're in OC,Cali?" i asked
"yes" Jason answered
"awesome"
"so when do you wanna meet?" he asked again
"how about tomorrow?"
"tomorrow it is,want me to show you around the city?"
"alright that sounds cool" i said
"ok text me your address and i'll pick you up at 4pm"
"ok, deal"
"ok now im gonna leave you finish unpacking but don't forget to text me your address"
"ok bye"
"see you tomorrow,bye"
we both hung up and i texted him my address
right after i texted him Jason called
"are you messing around with me" he asked
"what?"
"the address you sent me is just 2 houses away from my dad's house"he said
"really?,so that means your like our 4th neighbor?,we're in the same neighborhood"
"i told you it's gotta be fate,neighbor"
"haha yea"
"alright catch you up later,neighbor"
"oh so that's my new nickname ha"
"yea you can say that "
"ok bye now"
"bye"
we both hung up,again!
hours passed by until it finally became midnight and i finished unpacking at 12:01!
i was so exhausted and i slept right after i finished unpacking

DONT start a rumor online!
Horror movies are not really my fave types of movies! , especially when it includes killing.But last night i decided to watch one that was on mbc2 at 11.It was called " Cry_Wolf" i dont know what that means but what ive learned from the movie when it came to an end is to NEVER start a RUMOR or a LIE online and spread it around!.
Here's the movie poster and its plot
Here's the movie poster and its plot
Eight unsuspecting high school seniors at a posh boarding school, who delight themselves on playing games of lies, come face-to-face with terror and learn that nobody believes a liar - even when they're telling the truth
Have you seen this movie before? if so then what do you think of it?
The Bros Reveal K2'sbachelor party
Kevin Jonas Chooses Best Men - Nick & Joe - Reveals Bachelor Party Details
LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Kevin Jonas and Danielle Deleasa's wedding date might be up in the air - but the musician does know who will stand by his side on his wedding day - the same two guys who stick by him on stage.
"I decided that it's going to be both Joe and Nick," the 21-year-old engaged JoBro told People. "Dani has an older and a younger sister, so it works out really well. I can have two best men, and she can have two maids of honor."
And do younger brothers, Nick and Joe, have a wild bachelor party planned for their brother? "It will be good, clean fun," Nick told the mag. "We're going to have a good time with friends and family. It's a big deal, but Kevin kind of has already planned it himself. He will give us suggestions on what he would like and we keep on trying to tell him no. We're like, 'You have no involvement in planning this. Just get ready to have a good time.'"
Middle brother Joe told the mag it's not going to be a cliche bachelor event. "It won't be in Vegas. Vegas is not really the ideal place. We are thinking somewhere even cooler and better," he told the mag.
"This is going to be a new step in all of our lives. We are willing to take it and we're excited for him. It's great to have a sister in the family."
"We're all very excited about it," Nick added. "It's great that he found someone he loves, and we all love her too. I know they are going to have a great, happy marriage."

Stupidity:"SOME"Kuwaities
Seriously people,You're calling yourselves as food ? this is just STUPIDITY!
so im gonna start from scratch:
i was just chatting with my cousin while watching tv in gran's house,and i dont know what brought it up but my cousin started talking about "those" stupid names kuwaities call themselves these days.
She was like "Dont you know what "McChicken" means? i simply answered with"a meal!" i mean what else was it supposed to be
"its what KASH5A ppl call themselves these days in kuwait" she explained!
and i was thinking in my head "WHAAAAT!" yes the voice in my head was sarcasingly screaming!
and i asked her to tell me more and she said that blackberries,neon colors,range rovers, and full masks of makeup are the "equipments" for being a McChicken!
then than night i thank god so much for being soooo DIFFERENT from kuwaities and yes i admit that
i usually do NOT like talking about myself alot because its called bragging! but this time im gonna explain more!
i DO NOT like being one of the IN-CROWDS in Kuwait! and im not that typical kuwaiti girl that likes to put make up as if a kid painted on my face with crayons and water colors! and i dont wear fancy dresses everytime i go to the movies or to the mall like i was going to weddings or the red carpet!
jeans is my best friend!
so when i found out about that stupid nonsense food nicknames i immediately smiled for not being one of "THEM"!
i mean who DOES THAT?
if you,kuwaities,want to bring up something new to life then bring up some good things not stupid things!
some american boys have the nickname "Mr-president" and you kuwaiti boys have the nickname "McChicken"?
I know you're now probably thinking "she always talks about Americans" yes i do because they're truly the BEST,SMARTEST,&REALISTIC people in the WORLD! and Kuwaiti people are "TRYING" to be like them but you know what they will never be! not until they quit being retards and starting to be more "thinking"!!!

CARRIED AWAY,BUT NOT SORRY
NEW YORK: Adam Lambert admits he got carried away with his sexually charged American Music Awards performance, but he''s offering no apology.
The glam rocker from American Idol said on The Early Show that his performance would not have caused as much controversy if he weren''t openly gay. He also said there were other "adult" moments on the show that caused no outrage.
"I admit I did get carried away, but I don''t see anything wrong with it," he said Wednesday. "I do see how people got offended and that was not my intention. My intention was to interpret the lyrics of my song and have a good time with it."
Lambert kissed a male keyboard player, dragged a female dancer around by the ankles and had a dancer simulate oral sex on him while performing "For Your Entertainment," a song with a sexual edge. ABC received many complaints about the performance and that network''s morning show, Good Morning America, canceled Lambert''s scheduled appearance on Wednesday because it said it couldn''t trust what he would do.
The Early Show on CBS, perennially third in a threeÙ€network morning show race, happily gave him a platform and milked it Ù€ interviewing him, having him interact with fans and asking him to sing. One of the show''s hosts, Harry Smith, tied the flap to rock history, noting that camera operators were only allowed to shoot Elvis Presley from the waist up during a network TV appearance generations ago.
Lambert admitted he didn''t rehearse some of the more risque elements of his award show performance Ù€ a point that particularly upset ABC, which said it was taken by surprise by what he did. In the future, he said he''d try to get these issues cleared before the show.
But he noted that Lady Gaga smashed whiskey bottles during her performance, Eminem rapped about rape and Janet Jackson briefly groped a male dancer.
"Janet Jackson, crotch grab," he said. "I haven''t heard one peep about that."
He said that "if it had been a female pop performer doing (his) moves that were on the stage, I don''t think there would be nearly as much of an outrage."
"I think it''s because I''m a gay male," he added.
Offered a chance to apologize, he declined. He said he didn''t consider that there may have been children watching because his American Music Awards performance came at nearly 11 p.m., and that it''s a parent''s job to monitor what their children are watching on TV.
"I''m not a baby sitter," he said. "I''m a performer."
Asked what he''d do differently if he had the chance, Lambert said, "I would sing it a little bit better."
"I guess I have a tendency to divide people," he added. "Apples and oranges Ù€ you either like it or you don''t."
"For Your Entertainment" is the title cut and first single from Lambert''s new album, which went on sale Monday. He didn''t perform that on The Early Show, opting instead for the songs "Whataya Want From Me" and "Music Again."
He said before performing, "Parents, this is appropriate, I promise."
Lambert took questions from fans surrounding CBS'' midtown Manhattan studio, including one who said she had traveled from Japan to see him. None of the questions were about Sunday''s performance.
His mother, Leila Lambert, came on stage between his two songs, and was asked what she thought of her son at the American Music Awards.
"I was a little taken aback," she said. "But, you know, I just went with the flow. It''s all good."Ù€AP

Splatters of my life : (Ch.1:Departure)
"LIFE" as a word means alot to me.However i cant explain it in words!
I was in my room ,laying in bed and listening to happy music like Jason Mraz and owl city.When my mom entered my rom without a further notice and started babbling.
"whoa,mom slow down,whats wrong?" i cut her off
"listen cady,if i gave you the choice of living a second life,would you go for it?,would you take the chance?" she asked me while staring carefully at my face.
"Um honestly mom,i dont know!,i think i may take it since i love taking risks anyway"
"ok,now that i know your answer,im gonna spill it out"
"Mom what is it,whats going on?" i started to be impatient
"we're going to have to move to another state"
my eyes nearly popped out of its place.
it was a shock!.What was wrong with this place? i like living in here.As the matter of fact i love this state.Who would not love living in Utah?.
"uhhhhh" i couldn't get my words straight
"well..." i can see that my mom was waiting for my responce
"i cant believe im saying this,but ok lets do it." i said
"but wait, you didnt tell me where are we moving to?" i continued
"i think you might be surprised." she replyed with a small excited smile on her face
"California" she quickley continued
there was a moment of silence surrounding the room
"why?" i asked with a bit of ironic questioning tone in my voice
"i just got fired from my job,and thank god i did because i wanted some motive to get me out of that company,and i thought what a better place to start a new life than cali?" she explained it well enough for me to accept it.
"ok what about maddie?,did you tell her?" maddie is my 14 year old sister and frankly i never thought about what maddie would think about things because she lives in her own world.Honestly each one of us,me,mom,and maddie live in our her own world.But this was moving so i had to know what she thought.
"tell me what?" maddie interrupted and walked in to my room
"honey,we're moving to california" mom answered with a bit of 2 emotions:concerned&excited.
"awesome" was just maddie's reply!
"now since everyone knows about it ,lets start packing,we're leaving on tuesday morning,that leaves us with 3 days to pack our things up"
"what?,mom 3 days?,why the rush?" i was panicked because i dont like rushing!
"honey,why not in 3 days?,it better to leave now than to be hung up on this place" mom said
i had nothing to say so i just smiled.Sometimes smiling can be the answer.
*3 days later*
"knock,knock" mom was knocking on my door."Wake up cady its time to leave t"
"okay im awake, ill get dressed in 2 minutes" i shouted
"i'll be downstairs with maddie"she shouted while going downstairs.
"okay" i replyed shouting
i came downstairs and the van was parking right infront of our door waiting for us.Well actually for me because everything was already in the van,including mom and maddie,except me.
when i stepped outside,a skater boy passed me by so fast that i fell on my back.The skater boy came back real quick but this time on his feet.
"Are you alright?" he asked
he gave me a had and picked me up
"i am so sorry ,i didnt realize i was so fast until you fell" he continued after picking me up
"its ok" i answered while looking down at myslef searching for a bruise or something but i couldnt find anything and that was good,i guess.
i looked up to see his face.His eyes immediatly locked on mine.He was charming.He had black short hair,his eyes were hazel but almost golden.His smile was breath-taking.
"hi,im Ryan" he introduced himself with a bright smile that i couldnt get enough of even though it was minutes since i met him.
"nice to meet you,im .....uhhh..im.." what was wrong with me?,i forgot my own name?,or was it lost in my head?
"i can see that i've done a damage to your head with my speed,sorry again" he said
"Ha,no my name is cady" i had to put on a smile when knowing that i had to meet this great guy at a time like this.The time of moving away.
"nice to meet you too then,cady" his smile just keeps getting brighter and brighter
he continued "well it was not a nice way to meet,was it?"
"uhm well not really,but it was nice anyway"i replyed with a smile knowing that it was so nice to meet him in this way than not meet him at all.
"well ,ryan,i have to go now,my mom and my sister are waiting for me" i told him
"oh ok,sorry for keeping you late,i guess i'll see you later?" he replyed with his charming smile
"i dont think so,its not what you think ,but we're moving to california now"i told him and thinking deep inside that at this moment i dont want to leave now.
"oh,too bad,we could've hung out" he said with a small frown in his face
"yea,sorry,i guess this was just bad timing"
"maybe,should i give you a call" this was just a way to get my number.And i was happy to give it to him.
"i dont know,its up to you,but that'd be nice"
"ok,i will,but how am i going to call if i dont even have your number?" he was smiling again
"oh right,sorry haha,her you are" i said while writing my number on his palm.
"cool,i guess i'll talk to you later then" he winked at me and i was so happy
"yea sure" i shouted at him while i was getting in the van.
we both waved at each other for seconds.
"ooh,a new guy" maddie finally spoke
"shut up" i replyed and hit her with my pillow that was in the van.
hours passed by .
We finally arrived in Orange County,CA.
we all got out of the car
"here's our new home" mom said
the house was not too big but not too small also.and it was cool;4 bedrooms,3 bathrooms,living room...and so on.
right when i stepped inside the house ,my cellphone rang.
it was Ryan
"just to make sure you arrived safely" that was so sweet of him.
"yes thank you,i did"
goosebumps started to attack me.
"sorry again about what happened" he started apologizing again
"i told you its ok ,in fact i didnt get hurt at all" i started to explain a bit
"it was just a fall" i told him
"oh ok,that good,well not the fall,the fact that ur not hurt" he said
now i dont blaim the goosebumps for attacking me
"i get it ryan,thanks alot really for asking,and it was nice of you to call and check up on me,but i gotta go now unpack and when im done i'll text you" i was n a rush to unpack and get this moving thing over with.
"sounds good for me"
"ok bye for now
"bye"

Jett Travolta's 9 month dead anniversary

May god rest you in peace.
What goes aroung,Comes around!
Now you know some of the funny late night hosts like jay lenno and david letterman,right?
you may also know that letterman always jokes about people,well now its their turn to turn it back at letterman!
read this and you will know what im talking about
NEW YORK: LateÙ€night hosts didn''t waste a moment poking fun at the troubles of one of their own, after a CBS newsman was charged with trying to blackmail David Letterman for two million U.S. dollars in a plot that forced the lateÙ€night comic to acknowledge having sex with some of the women who have worked for him.
The bizarre case has created a messy legal and professional problem for one of CBS'' most valuable personalities. Commentators and bloggers quickly accused Letterman of hypocrisy because he has made a career of mocking politicians mercilessly, often for their sexual transgressions.
Robert J. "Joe" Halderman, a producer for the trueÙ€crime show 48 Hours Mystery, pleaded not guilty in a Manhattan court to one count of attempted firstÙ€degree grand larceny, punishable by five to 15 years in prison. Prosecutors said Halderman, who was released after posting $200,000 bail, was desperate and deep in debt.
Jay Leno, Letterman''s longtime lateÙ€night rival, kicked off his monologue Friday on NBC: "If you came here tonight for sex with a talk show host, you''ve got the wrong studio."
On NBC''s Late Night, Jimmy Fallon also worked it into his monologue: "There''s a new book out called Why Women Have Sex that says there are 237 reasons why women have sex. And folks, Letterman knows the top 10."
It remains to be seen whether Letterman will suffer longÙ€term damage just as his career appears to be peaking. Letterman has taken over as the king of lateÙ€night in the ratings this summer, and last week he beat NBC''s Tonight show host Conan O''Brien for the first time among young viewers.
Friday night''s Late Show was taped in advance on Thursday, meaning Letterman won''t be taping an episode after his revelation until at least Monday. But Friday''s show did include a moment Ù€ coincidental in retrospect Ù€ when guest Larry David unwittingly suggested that he beat Letterman''s record of having the fewest number of dates for someone with a TV show.
"Oh, I don''t know," replied Letterman, grinning knowingly.
Halderman''s connection to Letterman was not immediately clear, but public records show that until August, he lived in Norwalk, Conn., with Stephanie Birkitt, a 34Ù€yearÙ€old woman who works on the Late Show staff and used to work at 48 Hours.
Birkitt was an assistant to Letterman on the Late Show and frequently appeared on camera with the host in comedy bits. Last month, Birkitt moved to Manhattan. There was no answer Friday at a phone listed in her name.
It was unclear how many women were involved with Letterman, 62, who married longtime girlfriend Regina Lasko in March. The couple began dating in 1986 and have a son, Harry, born in November 2003.
All the affairs took place before Letterman''s marriage, said Tom Keaney, spokesman for Letterman''s production company, Worldwide Pants. Keaney also said Letterman "is not in violation" of the company''s harassment policy "and no one has ever raised a complaint against him."
CBS issued a statement Friday: "We think it was appropriate for Dave to disclose the matter publicly as he has, and we are continuing to cooperate with authorities."
CBS would not address questions about whether Letterman faced any disciplinary actions for relationships with subordinates.
Halderman gave the talk show host a package of materials that "contained clear, explicit and actual threats that indicate this defendant ... (wanted to) destroy the reputation of Mr. Letterman and to submit him and his family to humiliation and ridicule," Assistant District Attorney Judy Salwen said in court.
Halderman, hands cuffed behind his back, stared at the floor during most of Friday''s court hearing and said only "not guilty."
His lawyer, Gerald Shargel, said Halderman worked at CBS for 27 years and had no prior criminal record. He described him as an involved father who coached soccer, baseball and football and has two children, ages 11 and 18.
"This story is far more complicated than what you heard this afternoon," Shargel said outside court, but he would not elaborate.
Halderman allegedly left an envelope in Letterman''s car early Sept. 9. According to authorities, he wrote that he needed money and said Letterman''s world would "collapse around him" if damaging information about him were made public.
Letterman acknowledged that the letter contained proof that the lateÙ€night host had sexual relationships with members of his staff.
Three meetings between Letterman''s lawyer and Halderman subsequently took place, the last two with the lawyer recording the conversations and prosecutors listening in, District Attorney Robert Morgenthau said.
At the last meeting, on Wednesday, the lawyer gave Halderman a phony check for $2 million, Morgenthau said.
Halderman deposited the check Thursday and was arrested that day, he said.
It''s the second set of embarrassing headlines for Letterman in four months. He apologized on the air earlier this summer for a crude joke involving Sarah Palin''s family. But when the controversy continued to swirl, he came back after a weekend to offer a stronger mea culpa.
Letterman''s contract with CBS runs through next August, though the network has been in negotiations to continue that through 2012.Ù€AP

you may also know that letterman always jokes about people,well now its their turn to turn it back at letterman!
read this and you will know what im talking about
NEW YORK: LateÙ€night hosts didn''t waste a moment poking fun at the troubles of one of their own, after a CBS newsman was charged with trying to blackmail David Letterman for two million U.S. dollars in a plot that forced the lateÙ€night comic to acknowledge having sex with some of the women who have worked for him.
The bizarre case has created a messy legal and professional problem for one of CBS'' most valuable personalities. Commentators and bloggers quickly accused Letterman of hypocrisy because he has made a career of mocking politicians mercilessly, often for their sexual transgressions.
Robert J. "Joe" Halderman, a producer for the trueÙ€crime show 48 Hours Mystery, pleaded not guilty in a Manhattan court to one count of attempted firstÙ€degree grand larceny, punishable by five to 15 years in prison. Prosecutors said Halderman, who was released after posting $200,000 bail, was desperate and deep in debt.
Jay Leno, Letterman''s longtime lateÙ€night rival, kicked off his monologue Friday on NBC: "If you came here tonight for sex with a talk show host, you''ve got the wrong studio."
On NBC''s Late Night, Jimmy Fallon also worked it into his monologue: "There''s a new book out called Why Women Have Sex that says there are 237 reasons why women have sex. And folks, Letterman knows the top 10."
It remains to be seen whether Letterman will suffer longÙ€term damage just as his career appears to be peaking. Letterman has taken over as the king of lateÙ€night in the ratings this summer, and last week he beat NBC''s Tonight show host Conan O''Brien for the first time among young viewers.
Friday night''s Late Show was taped in advance on Thursday, meaning Letterman won''t be taping an episode after his revelation until at least Monday. But Friday''s show did include a moment Ù€ coincidental in retrospect Ù€ when guest Larry David unwittingly suggested that he beat Letterman''s record of having the fewest number of dates for someone with a TV show.
"Oh, I don''t know," replied Letterman, grinning knowingly.
Halderman''s connection to Letterman was not immediately clear, but public records show that until August, he lived in Norwalk, Conn., with Stephanie Birkitt, a 34Ù€yearÙ€old woman who works on the Late Show staff and used to work at 48 Hours.
Birkitt was an assistant to Letterman on the Late Show and frequently appeared on camera with the host in comedy bits. Last month, Birkitt moved to Manhattan. There was no answer Friday at a phone listed in her name.
It was unclear how many women were involved with Letterman, 62, who married longtime girlfriend Regina Lasko in March. The couple began dating in 1986 and have a son, Harry, born in November 2003.

Advice: Cheese Pizza is more logical !
When you're in the United States,and you want to call pizza hut to order a pizza, DONT tell them this : "Can i have one margarita pizza,please?".
See, 'margarita' is a kind of alcohol in the states.So when you tell them that you want a margarita pizza they will reply to you by saying this:"um,excuse me?,what do you mean by margarita pizza,we don't have that".
That happened to me.I was ordering form pizza hut and i told them that i want a margarita pizza because thats what the cheese pizza's called in Kuwait! so im used to that.And i immediately corrected my own words and exchanged them for "cheese pizza" and the guy was like :"oh,ok"
so now he knew what im talking about.
So learn from my mistake and dont ever order a 'margarita pizza' because it doesn't even exist in the states .
and enjoy your meal XP

BACK TO SCHOOL
Those are the most hated 3 words in the universe.Back To School.
Now that summer's gone.And this is the last day of summer,Are you ready to go back to school under all the swine flu circumstances?.I dont mean to scare you or anything,But by now we-the high school students-are already hanging up our school uniforms and packing our backpacks for tomorrow.But theres one question were all asking: are we ready to face the swine flu in the school arena?.Theres not much to say about this.All the media are saying that the ministry of health provided all the best tools to prevent the virus from spreading in the most crowded places in the country which is school.But again,Are we ready?.
For my opinion i am ready.We all should be.If we just follow the instructions very carefully we should pull it off without getting the virus.
So be carefull.And i wont say have fun in school because school is NO FUN AT ALL!.

My personal tip for everyone in these days is: spend off you're money without thinking!.Buy everything that you always wanted to buy and dont let anyone stop you.In the past my mom used to tell me all the time that what i buy is just junk.Unless its clothes then she would love it.But again dont let ANYONE stop you or change your mind.Just live it up and enjoy these days while you can.Because starting from next sunday something horrible will start and i guess you know what i mean if you're a "high schooler" =).So again enjoy your time.Go to plays and laugh your butts off.Or go to theme parks such as entertainment city.Also go to the cinema.There are plenty of amazing movies that just been released yesterday like Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs.Just ENJOY YOUR TIME in every way possible

Arabs VS. Americans [P.1: Streets]
Hello Again.
If you read my last blog post about the differences between Arabs and Americans then you will know what im going to be talking about in this post.If not then please read that post before you read this one.
This time im going to talk about the STREETS!.
There are alot of countless differences between our streets and the Americans' streets.Actually i think it would take me to write a book to finish up the whole thing with details.But im sticking to my blog for now.
Im not going to write an intro or anything im just going to dive in the topic.
In the Middle East,or specifically Kuwait,The streets are messed up in every meaning the word means.Literally.When you drive your car heading to a certain place,you can see accidents,at least 1 accident on your way even to the supermarket.And im not just talking about accidents because i will go on to that topic later on.Im talking about how bad the streets are.I mean they're not built ready.There are alot of holes in them.And alot of garbage!.I know its not someone's fault.Its everyones' fault.Because everyone these days drive in their cars while eating.And after they eat they dont want to trash their cars so the easiest way is to take it out on the streets.The easiest way is to throw them out there without a care.Some people actually throw pins,glass and even sharp tools in the streets.And guess what happens to the other people,their cars' tires get blown up.And sometimes it can lead to major road accidents.Sometimes it can lead the car to roll up with the passenger in it.Which causes maybe death,serious injuries..ect.And no im not making a big deal of it im just SAYING THE TRUTH THAT PEPPLE DENY.In the States,Its NOT OK to throw garbage out in the streets.If someone did it could lead up to serious charges.Such as jail for maybe 2 nights.No im not overreacting.But people in the States actually RESPECT LAW.Also in the US the streets are really being taken care of.It feels like driving on air when you drive in the streets.
The Traffic
Kuwait is known for it's black gold.So we must have a lot of cars in Kuwait.Its a fact not wish.And we're also known for traffic and rush hours 24/7!.Yes day and night always rush hours and traffic.When its school days theres always traffic in the main high way in the morning about 7 until maybe 10am.And also at the afternoon starting at 1pm 'till 4pm.And at night starting at 7pm until 11pm.Traffic all day!.In the morning its usual to have traffic because of schools and so the afternoon.But what is up with traffic at night?.People usually doesnt go out on school days.But anyway there is traffic at night.
Sometimes traffic can be caused by the stupidest things.Example: a car get in an accident and the driver is ok and everything is fine and everyone's ok.But the flaw in this picture is that a random person stops their car and just starts to stare at the people who had the accident.Without any reason.They might dont know each other but they still stand and stare.And that happens also when someone get killed because of a serious accident.And the people would crowd up on the dead body and take pictures with their camera phones.Seriously what would the other people,visitors or foreign people, think about Kuwaiti people?.I think that its so rude to just stare at any victim of an accident.People who does such a thing like that should be ashamed of themselves and just get a life.I mean dont you have better thing to do than just stare at a harmless person?.In America,there can be accidents.But the difference is that NO ONE would stare or make a big deal of it.Because if someone stopped and just stared without a purpose,They would get a ticket or spend a night in jail.It is true I've seen it happen.
View of the streets
When you drive on the roads,wouldn't you wish that when you look out from your window shields that there is something beautifull to look at?.When i say beautiful i mean other than one small tree surrounded by sand,sand,and more sand.And adding large black trash bags!.Now that you finally wanted to clean the streets dont you want to continue your work and drop it somewhere else?.Like trash cans?.Back to the views.In the US when you drive,you would stare at amazing views that can get you to accidents LOL.I mean you would be so numbed just by looking at the amazing views they have starting with the greens,grass,flowers..ect(countless).
ZOO FOR FREE
In Kuwait.When you drive,you WILL ALWAYS find cats,cats,cats,and cats!.Cats in everywhere.sitting on the large trash cans or just walking on the street.Its like a free zoo out in the streets!.In the US its NOT ALLOWED TO RELEASE CATS IN THE STREETS!.What if some new disease started in the future..Like CATS FLU!.Then Kuwait will be dead!(Ismilla 3laina).
There you go alot of difference between the two nations.Sometimes i wonder why's Kuwait late?.Why's Dubai better than Kuwait?.And then i remember!.Kuwait businessmen always ask the same question.Why cant Kuwait be the next Dubai?.Why's Dubai getting more tourists than we are?.Why's everyone rather visit Dubai than Kuwait?..WHY ,WHY ,WHY ?
Ask yourself that question.I bet you will find the answer hovering in the air.
Thats it for this post.
Stay tuned for the next part of the equation =]

Patrick Swayze dies at 57
LOS ANGELES – Patrick Swayze, the hunky actor who danced his way into moviegoers' hearts with "Dirty Dancing" and then broke them with "Ghost," died Monday after a battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 57.
"Patrick Swayze passed away peacefully today with family at his side after facing the challenges of his illness for the last 20 months," said a statement released Monday evening by his publicist, Annett Wolf. Swayze died in Los Angeles, Wolf said, but declined to give further details.
Fans of the actor were saddened to learn in March 2008 that Swayze was suffering from a particularly deadly form of cancer. He kept working despite the diagnosis, putting together a memoir with his wife and shooting "The Beast," an A&E drama series for which he had already made the pilot.
Swayze said he opted not to use painkilling drugs while making "The Beast" because they would have taken the edge off his performance. The show drew a respectable 1.3 million viewers when the 13 episodes ran in 2009, but A&E said it had reluctantly decided not to renew it for a second season.
When he first went public with the illness, some reports gave him only weeks to live, but his doctor said his situation was "considerably more optimistic" than that. Swayze acknowledged that time might be running out given the grim nature of the disease.
"I'd say five years is pretty wishful thinking," Swayze told ABC's Barbara Walters in early 2009. "Two years seems likely if you're going to believe statistics. I want to last until they find a cure, which means I'd better get a fire under it."
C. Thomas Howell, who co-starred with Swayze in "The Outsiders," "Grandview U.S.A." and "Red Dawn", said: "I have always had a special place in my heart for Patrick. While I was fortunate enough to work with him in three films, it was our passion for horses that forged a friendship between us that I treasure to this day. Not only did we lose a fine actor today, I lost my older `Outsiders' brother."
Other celebrities used Twitter to express condolences, and "Dirty Dancing" was the top trending topic for a while Monday night, trailed by several other Swayze films.
Ashton Kutcher — whose wife, Demi Moore, co-starred with Swayze in "Ghost" — wrote: "RIP P Swayze." Kutcher also linked to a YouTube clip of the actor poking fun at himself in a classic "Saturday Night Live" sketch, in which he played a wannabe Chippendales dancer alongside the corpulent — and frighteningly shirtless — Chris Farley.
And Larry King wrote: "Patrick Swayze was a wonderful actor & a terrific guy. He put his heart in everything. He was an extraordinary fighter in his battle w Cancer." King added that he'd do a tribute to Swayze on his CNN program Tuesday night.
A three-time Golden Globe nominee, Swayze became a star with his performance as the misunderstood bad-boy Johnny Castle in "Dirty Dancing." As the son of a choreographer who began his career in musical theater, he seemed a natural to play the role.
A coming-of-age romance starring Jennifer Grey as an idealistic young woman on vacation with her family and Swayze as the Catskills resort's sexy (and much older) dance instructor, the film made great use of both his grace on his feet and his muscular physique.
It became an international phenomenon in the summer of 1987, spawning albums, an Oscar-winning hit song in "(I've Had) the Time of My Life," stage productions and a sequel, 2004's "Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights," in which he made a cameo.
Swayze performed and co-wrote a song on the soundtrack, the ballad "She's Like the Wind," inspired by his wife, Lisa Niemi. The film also gave him the chance to utter the now-classic line, "Nobody puts Baby in a corner."
Swayze followed that up with the 1989 action flick "Road House," in which he played a bouncer at a rowdy bar. But it was his performance in 1990's "Ghost" that showed his vulnerable, sensitive side. He starred as a murdered man trying to communicate with his fiancee (Moore) — with great frustration and longing — through a psychic played by Whoopi Goldberg.
Swayze said at the time that he fought for the role of Sam Wheat (director Jerry Zucker wanted Kevin Kline) but once he went in for an audition and read six scenes, he got it.
Why did he want the part so badly? "It made me cry four or five times," he said of Bruce Joel Rubin's Oscar-winning script in an AP interview.
"Ghost" provided yet another indelible musical moment: Swayze and Moore sensually molding pottery together to the strains of the Righteous Brothers' "Unchained Melody." It also earned a best-picture nomination and a supporting-actress Oscar for Goldberg, who said she wouldn't have won if it weren't for Swayze.
"When I won my Academy Award, the only person I really thanked was Patrick," Goldberg said in March 2008 on the ABC daytime talk show "The View."
Swayze himself earned three Golden Globe nominations, for "Dirty Dancing," "Ghost" and 1995's "To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar," which further allowed him to toy with his masculine image. The role called for him to play a drag queen on a cross-country road trip alongside Wesley Snipes and John Leguizamo.
His heartthrob status almost kept him from being considered for the role of Vida Boheme.
"I couldn't get seen on it because everyone viewed me as terminally heterosexually masculine-macho," he told the AP then. But he transformed himself so completely that when his screen test was sent to Steven Spielberg, whose Amblin pictures produced "To Wong Foo," Spielberg didn't recognize him.
Among his earlier films, Swayze was part of the star-studded lineup of up-and-comers in Francis Ford Coppola's 1983 adaptation of S.E. Hinton's novel "The Outsiders," alongside Rob Lowe, Tom Cruise, Matt Dillon, Ralph Macchio, Emilio Estevez and Diane Lane.
Other '80s films included "Red Dawn," "Grandview U.S.A." (for which he also provided choreography) and "Youngblood," once more with Lowe, as Canadian hockey teammates.
In the '90s, he made such eclectic films as "Point Break" (1991), in which he played the leader of a band of bank-robbing surfers, and the family Western "Tall Tale" (1995), in which he starred as Pecos Bill. He appeared on the cover of People magazine as its "Sexiest Man Alive" in 1991, but his career tapered off toward the end of the 1990s, when he also had stay in rehab for alcohol abuse. In 2001, he appeared in the cult favorite "Donnie Darko," and in 2003 he returned to the New York stage with "Chicago"; 2006 found him in the musical "Guys and Dolls" in London.
Swayze was born in 1952 in Houston, the son of Jesse Swayze and choreographer Patsy Swayze, whose films include "Urban Cowboy."
He played football but also was drawn to dance and theater, performing with the Feld, Joffrey and Harkness Ballets and appearing on Broadway as Danny Zuko in "Grease." But he turned to acting in 1978 after a series of injuries.
Within a couple years of moving to Los Angeles, he made his debut in the roller-disco movie "Skatetown, U.S.A." The eclectic cast included Scott Baio, Flip Wilson, Maureen McCormack and Billy Barty.
Off-screen, he was an avid conservationist who was moved by his time in Africa to shine a light on "man's greed and absolute unwillingness to operate according to Mother Nature's laws," he told the AP in 2004.
Swayze was married since 1975 to Niemi, a fellow dancer who took lessons with his mother; they met when he was 19 and she was 15. A licensed pilot, Niemi would fly her husband from Los Angeles to Northern California for treatment at Stanford University Medical Center.

"Patrick Swayze passed away peacefully today with family at his side after facing the challenges of his illness for the last 20 months," said a statement released Monday evening by his publicist, Annett Wolf. Swayze died in Los Angeles, Wolf said, but declined to give further details.
Fans of the actor were saddened to learn in March 2008 that Swayze was suffering from a particularly deadly form of cancer. He kept working despite the diagnosis, putting together a memoir with his wife and shooting "The Beast," an A&E drama series for which he had already made the pilot.
Swayze said he opted not to use painkilling drugs while making "The Beast" because they would have taken the edge off his performance. The show drew a respectable 1.3 million viewers when the 13 episodes ran in 2009, but A&E said it had reluctantly decided not to renew it for a second season.
When he first went public with the illness, some reports gave him only weeks to live, but his doctor said his situation was "considerably more optimistic" than that. Swayze acknowledged that time might be running out given the grim nature of the disease.
"I'd say five years is pretty wishful thinking," Swayze told ABC's Barbara Walters in early 2009. "Two years seems likely if you're going to believe statistics. I want to last until they find a cure, which means I'd better get a fire under it."
C. Thomas Howell, who co-starred with Swayze in "The Outsiders," "Grandview U.S.A." and "Red Dawn", said: "I have always had a special place in my heart for Patrick. While I was fortunate enough to work with him in three films, it was our passion for horses that forged a friendship between us that I treasure to this day. Not only did we lose a fine actor today, I lost my older `Outsiders' brother."
Other celebrities used Twitter to express condolences, and "Dirty Dancing" was the top trending topic for a while Monday night, trailed by several other Swayze films.
Ashton Kutcher — whose wife, Demi Moore, co-starred with Swayze in "Ghost" — wrote: "RIP P Swayze." Kutcher also linked to a YouTube clip of the actor poking fun at himself in a classic "Saturday Night Live" sketch, in which he played a wannabe Chippendales dancer alongside the corpulent — and frighteningly shirtless — Chris Farley.
And Larry King wrote: "Patrick Swayze was a wonderful actor & a terrific guy. He put his heart in everything. He was an extraordinary fighter in his battle w Cancer." King added that he'd do a tribute to Swayze on his CNN program Tuesday night.
A three-time Golden Globe nominee, Swayze became a star with his performance as the misunderstood bad-boy Johnny Castle in "Dirty Dancing." As the son of a choreographer who began his career in musical theater, he seemed a natural to play the role.
A coming-of-age romance starring Jennifer Grey as an idealistic young woman on vacation with her family and Swayze as the Catskills resort's sexy (and much older) dance instructor, the film made great use of both his grace on his feet and his muscular physique.
It became an international phenomenon in the summer of 1987, spawning albums, an Oscar-winning hit song in "(I've Had) the Time of My Life," stage productions and a sequel, 2004's "Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights," in which he made a cameo.
Swayze performed and co-wrote a song on the soundtrack, the ballad "She's Like the Wind," inspired by his wife, Lisa Niemi. The film also gave him the chance to utter the now-classic line, "Nobody puts Baby in a corner."
Swayze followed that up with the 1989 action flick "Road House," in which he played a bouncer at a rowdy bar. But it was his performance in 1990's "Ghost" that showed his vulnerable, sensitive side. He starred as a murdered man trying to communicate with his fiancee (Moore) — with great frustration and longing — through a psychic played by Whoopi Goldberg.
Swayze said at the time that he fought for the role of Sam Wheat (director Jerry Zucker wanted Kevin Kline) but once he went in for an audition and read six scenes, he got it.
Why did he want the part so badly? "It made me cry four or five times," he said of Bruce Joel Rubin's Oscar-winning script in an AP interview.
"Ghost" provided yet another indelible musical moment: Swayze and Moore sensually molding pottery together to the strains of the Righteous Brothers' "Unchained Melody." It also earned a best-picture nomination and a supporting-actress Oscar for Goldberg, who said she wouldn't have won if it weren't for Swayze.
"When I won my Academy Award, the only person I really thanked was Patrick," Goldberg said in March 2008 on the ABC daytime talk show "The View."
Swayze himself earned three Golden Globe nominations, for "Dirty Dancing," "Ghost" and 1995's "To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar," which further allowed him to toy with his masculine image. The role called for him to play a drag queen on a cross-country road trip alongside Wesley Snipes and John Leguizamo.
His heartthrob status almost kept him from being considered for the role of Vida Boheme.
"I couldn't get seen on it because everyone viewed me as terminally heterosexually masculine-macho," he told the AP then. But he transformed himself so completely that when his screen test was sent to Steven Spielberg, whose Amblin pictures produced "To Wong Foo," Spielberg didn't recognize him.
Among his earlier films, Swayze was part of the star-studded lineup of up-and-comers in Francis Ford Coppola's 1983 adaptation of S.E. Hinton's novel "The Outsiders," alongside Rob Lowe, Tom Cruise, Matt Dillon, Ralph Macchio, Emilio Estevez and Diane Lane.
Other '80s films included "Red Dawn," "Grandview U.S.A." (for which he also provided choreography) and "Youngblood," once more with Lowe, as Canadian hockey teammates.
In the '90s, he made such eclectic films as "Point Break" (1991), in which he played the leader of a band of bank-robbing surfers, and the family Western "Tall Tale" (1995), in which he starred as Pecos Bill. He appeared on the cover of People magazine as its "Sexiest Man Alive" in 1991, but his career tapered off toward the end of the 1990s, when he also had stay in rehab for alcohol abuse. In 2001, he appeared in the cult favorite "Donnie Darko," and in 2003 he returned to the New York stage with "Chicago"; 2006 found him in the musical "Guys and Dolls" in London.
Swayze was born in 1952 in Houston, the son of Jesse Swayze and choreographer Patsy Swayze, whose films include "Urban Cowboy."
He played football but also was drawn to dance and theater, performing with the Feld, Joffrey and Harkness Ballets and appearing on Broadway as Danny Zuko in "Grease." But he turned to acting in 1978 after a series of injuries.
Within a couple years of moving to Los Angeles, he made his debut in the roller-disco movie "Skatetown, U.S.A." The eclectic cast included Scott Baio, Flip Wilson, Maureen McCormack and Billy Barty.
