Thing#12 YouTube or Time Vampire?

Ah, You Tube such a Time Vampire!

I get on the site thinking, "I'll just look at this cute video of kitties", and two hours later...

My real problem is that I love looking at and listening to Arabic pop music videos.  I lived in the middle east for 6 years, I love to belly dance, and I don't get Arabic t.v. here in the U.S. 

In Kuwait we had satellite T.V. with at least 4 channels which showed music videos exclusively. Arabic music videos are like the ones they used to show in the U.S. long ago.  They usually have a story, the music is catchy, and they aren't raunchy.  Since I don't speak Arabic, I liked that you could get the story even without understanding the words.  Aftr all, haf they time they're saying "habibi" anyway!   A big plus with Youtube is that some enterprising bilingual people have posted my favorite videos with subtitles!

Which ones of my favorites shall I post? Nancy Ajram is one of my favorite singers - both because she is cute, sings well, has good videos, and we share a name.  As the spokesperson for Cocoa Cola and Lebanon's #1 pop star, she is well known all over the Middle East.  Whenever I had to show my i.d. to guards in Kuwait they would look at my name, give me the eye and say, "Ohhh, Nancy!" Sexiness conferred by a name...

Here's a cute video by Nancy - It's all about how her boyfriend keeps looking at other girls.

Here's my favorite - the most romantic video in the world...

As said, it's a Time Vampire.  I've just spent the last 30 minutes looking for the latest Amr Diab video.  Step away from the keyboard, Nancy.
