The Next Galaxy: Galaxy SIII
May 3rd, 2012For someone that is not tech savvy writing this blogpost gives me one of those shivers that say what if…what if the readers thinks she’s gone wacko or something, but the thing is this is probably going to be my first and last blogpost regarding technology but the reason I have been able to push my fingernails to jam across my keyboard would be the launch of the Galaxy SIII phone about an hour ago.
5 typical mistakes brands are doing online
April 22nd, 2012You know the saying what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger – technically speaking in our virtual very connect world – that doesn’t work much – in a world where brands are no longer in control, where consumers have a right, and brands want to communicate rather than dictate even the biggest brands out there are making mistakes. Here are a few that I’ve managed to notice lately:
5 Facebook Status Updates that make me roll my eyes
April 15th, 2012You know those Facebook Status Updates where someone just bombards you with stuff you don’t want to hear? There are people who occasionally share their joy…announcing an engagement, wedding, a special occasion and even special moments with a loved one and/or friends – then there are those people who just KILL you with the drama or what I like to call Attention Seeking Facebook Status Updates, here is a list of what I find completely annoying…
Take a Breath & Slow Down
April 4th, 2012When I got out of bed this morning, it was 9:05 a.m – I had over slept although I had planned to work from home, and giving that my work hours kick off at 9:00 I felt that I had betrayed my own schedule. I bounced out of bed, ran around the house like a headless chicken, going to the bathroom, washing my face, starting up my laptop, having a glass of water, got a friend to get me take out for breakfast and by 9:20 I was settled in and started working!

King Of Wings
April 2nd, 2012There is Buffalo and there is Wings and then there is both…combined with kick-ass organization by eguides team and the one and only host of Good Food, Good Times and Good Sports Champions Amman, it is safe to say that the KING OF WINGS contest tonight was Amazing!!!!!
See the whole idea of wings dates back to 1964 where the first plate was served at a family-owned establishment called the ANCHOR BAR. See the thing is, the whole wings thing was an accident, or the creation of the wings were at least.
Wings are the brainchild of Teressa Bellissimo, who had received a wrong order of Chicken wings (rather than the other chicken parts that she had) and deep fried them and then battered them with sauce and butter before serving them with Blue Cheese and Celery because those are the only ingredients she had! You gotta say thank God for accidents or else we wouldn’t be having what were having today!
Chicken Wing Day is celebrated every July 29 since 1977, and the first annual National Buffalo Wing Festival was held over labor day 2002 in (where else but) Buffalo, NY. In Jordan, mark the date, today the 2nd of April 2012 was the first Buffalo Chicken Wings eating contest where teams competed for the title of KING OF WINGS!
Just before I forget this I want to mention something, the most honorable part of the event was that the proceeds of all the teams entering tonight will be going to Family Kitchens! I love how we have the spirit of giving back to the community in Jordan, seeing as we haven’t won the contest tonight, I can safely say that this was the most rewarding piece of news any of us could ever hear!
With that said, a picture speaks a thousand wings, ugh words, here are a few happy snaps from tonight’s event that will get you drooling.
Round One Wingers!
Team Bakr!! Yep he did eat all 36 of those!

After finishing up all 36 wings! For the record, Bakr set the record for not being sloppy – keeping in mind that none of the Wingers were allowed any Napkins tonight!
Last but not least, here is what wingers look like after digging in massively into wings for a period of 20 minutes.
Drum Roll Please……
The King of Wings is:

– Well deserved to be honest, I remember reading him tweet and say: “I read abt Competitive Eating, wikipedia says DRINK 3 LITERS OF WATER in a short period of time 2 stretch ur stomach!” I wonder if that was his secret tonight
