    Socializing the dissocialized

           Humans are social by nature, it’s in our genes, and I’m human too. Socializing is a need for every individual and that is including me, but I’ve a problem here. In order to socialize I must have common interests with others, so the more common interest you have with others the more you will be able to socialize with others, and guess what (here is a new sociology rule) the more common your interests are, the more easier for you to socialize. So my problem is most of my interests are not common, for instance I’m not interested in football neither Arabic music nor Arabic movies, and that is because all our football teams sucks and all of our Arabic movies are just imitating American movies and stealing their ideas and stories, also all of our Arabic singers are imitating famous singers and stealing famous or infamous music even the way they direct video clips are mostly stolen. It’s very rare to find a famous channel like MTV broadcasting a single for our Arabic music singers. I’ve never heard about any Arabic singer obtaining any universal awards for his/her music. So that’s why I’m not interested in any Arabic music or movies because simply I always ask my self why buy something fake when the original real thing is there for me to get for free online? Real art and real music!! That’s why I can’t get in social small talks about Arabic music and movies with others, because simply whenever others start to embrace that sort of fake stolen art I start to get provoked and just end the small talk with a phrase like “Arabic music sucks” and start a long debate about Arabic music Vs. metal, and I don’t know why all of whomever I talk with like to emphasize on metal although non Arabic music is not just about metal!! Maybe because they know that I love metal music and they are just trying to tell me “your music sucks too” but the thing that they don’t know that is a band like Metallica have got 15 platinum for the self entitled album Metallica in USA only which means the album has sold 15million copy from a single album, I doubt that Amr Diab all albums sales through all his musical career can reach that number.

    So what was my problem again? My problem was that I hate what the average Joe love and love what the average Joe think is strange and weird, I love reading A LOT, I love writing code, I love software designing concepts, I love writing articles and I love heavy metal music, and that’s why I can’t socialize with the average Joe because simply the average Joe won’t comprehend most of what I’m saying and get insecure and nervous and feel provoked thus hating me and of course the last thing to think of next is to be friends.

    That’s why I’m becoming  more and more dissocialized, so again I’ve to confess that I’m human (I used to hope that I’m some kind of cyborg or something but for sorry I’m not) I’ve to socialize or I will suffer loneliness, I know there is others like me out there feeling the same, I hope you are reading this. I’ve a very simple idea to cure our pains, why don’t we go offline for once in a while? Why don’t we make offline communities with shared interests so geeks like us can socialize? Real communities not that kind of communities that you go all dressed up in suites, if you feel that this idea is convenient for you don’t hesitate and just let me know, I will be waiting.

    Am I a dissocialized geek?

    Well, I think I have to face my self on this. It’s the Christmas night now here in Egypt and everybody is out having fun and me setting here on my bed on front of my laptop screen, does this sound normal? I’m very bored as usual which isn’t something new weather it’s the Christmas or not, but the new thing that I’m setting here pissed off that is everyone is having fun but not me. But where to go? Cinemas? All the available movies now are Arabic movies and I hate Arabic movies, so what? Go set on a café? I hate setting on cafes doing nothing than listening to a bunch of guys talking about trivial matters, ok what else? Go walk in the street like everybody else does? What? Are you kidding me? Walking in the street with no target? No way, not me. So as it’s very obvious most the activities that others consider as a cool way of entertainment I consider as a waste of time and effort, so I’m setting here with no other option in hand, but in fact I do have some options, for instance I’ve tons of articles, blog posts and books to read and I’ve tens of ideas that I wish to blog about and implement, I’ve hundreds of technologies that I wish to learn, I’ve hundreds of movies that I can watch, but for sorry I’ve watched them all before so in fact I’ve two or three movies that I didn’t watch before but I’m not interested to watch them. I’ve gigabytes of mp3 that I can listen to, I’ve a guitar that I can play for hours, I’ve all of these options for activities that I consider entertainment but as you can see non of them involves human interaction with others, the only activity that I do that involve human interaction with others is chatting. Of course my life isn’t that dark I’ve friends whom I call on phone from time to time, I’ve workmates whom I’ve small talks with them at work, but whenever I’m on vacation life seems to stop, I’ve once got a 5 days of vacation that I’ve spent in front of my laptop screen on the same bed I’m on now starring at Wikipedia pages and blog posts,  googling for random keywords that  pop up in my mind, chatting with several contacts on my msn that some I didn’t meet before and will never have the chance to meet in future. In the last night of my 5 days vacation I had something that feels like waking up from a comma, I had just realized that I’ve spent the whole 5 days in front of my screen doing nothing, I thought that I should blog about it but I didn’t know what to say and why to say it so I didn’t, well I think I’ve just did now. who is gonna read this anyway?
