Fog



The fog filled the place. we can hear the sound of waves' agony on the shore, and the reader may feel the smell of salty air invading his nasal cavities and freezing again in his pulmonary system.
The sound of metallic chains break the silence, or at least what sounded like silence, – silence is how we define the endless monotony of sounds and voices around us that are of the same level for a relatively long period of time, till they become the benchmark for other sounds, which should be louder to be heard–. The chain is of an anchor, announcing the ship is leaving, or that of a slave interrupting his daily routine (or resuming one, how would you know?).
The moist cloth bag on my shoulder makes me feel the night endlessly longer. I can't hear the horn of my ship coming yet... still staring at the horizon and trying to see through the fog for a small swinging light and a captain calling my name.

Brief me, pleaaaaase!

"I need a break brief" "Brief" is becoming a word to kill for nowadays. I just have to say " give me a brief " to trigger a raffle of weird looks from my interlocutor, and sometimes it goes like " but we're discussing now! "... well, I can let go and get an affirmation that our discussion IS the brief. But truth doesn't take time to show up: " why don't we do a promotion or offer something? ", or " can we say some other message? ", or some other person comes and tell the team they were wrong in their approach, and that a brief would be re-written...! I would have loved to be the cool dude who helps you leave on time, but it's not up to me.. when it starts becoming a habit, and the cool dude is not that cool if one day he calls halt to the bad habit, then you should know it's for the sake of the client, the agency, the artists, the creatives, and the industry centennial learnings. Some might d...

"Out of sight"

I've just watched the best 5-minute anim and it made my day, a Japanese one about a blind little girl who lost her dog guide for a while. It inspired me one thought: "we become creative only after closing our eyes to the outer noise and focus on our internal voice. Only then we can isolate a different perspective of the world, not like everybody else sees it, not like we are told to see it, but how we imagin it. How would things look if we see them through only our creative mind? Anything could happen then, and that's the impossible and magic world of creativity. Then only, "Resist the usual" or "be different" or "think different", will make sense. I would say that it's good to plan our plan according to real data, in a real world and to fit perfectly in the tangible and conventional world, but we should incept this plan creatively, in a borderless world of no limits. How many times you were faced with an "a...

خط الزمن

خط الزمن هذه همساتي، أخطها لك كلمات فاسمعها بأذن عقلك. لا أدري إلى أين تأخذني خواطري، فأنا لا أدري إلى أي مدى هي عميقة دواخلي. أسبر غياباتها بشمعة وأقرأ على جدرانها، وتأخذني دهاليزها في غياهب يعلم الله إلى أين. إن شئت قرأت، فستضحك قليلا، وقد تبكي، أو تسخر أيضا، لكن الأهم، سأحاول، أن تعلم . المستقبل الحاضر في الماضي جلس على شرفة بيته المتهالك يهامس النجوم الساكنة في حلكة سماء صافية على غير عادتها في ليلة شتاء قارس، كأس شاي فقدت دفئها في يمينه تغازل شماله المتدللة على حافة الكرسي الأزلي الذي رافقه في حله وترحاله، وتترامى إلى مسمعه موسيقى اللاونج المفضلة لديه في أحسن أماسيه . لم يكن يعد النجوم، بل كان يغازل تلك النجمة القاصية على قمة برج الأسد . نجمة تعرف إليها وأحبها مذ كان في العشرين، وأعطاها من الأسماء بعدد من عرف في صباه من النساء، حتى بات أكيدا لديه أنها ليست أيا منهن، بل هي هو لا غيره، تنتشي بحلة ما في قلبه من ألوان . فتارة هي بسواد شعر هذه أو ببياض وج...
