Superman has a new look

It's a new 'Look!' for Superman

Look, up in the sky! It's a bird, it's a plane, it's . . . Superhunk!
Seventy-two-year-old Superman is getting a face-lift this week in a new book that reimagines the iconic character as more of a brooding heartthrob than a muscle-bound Boy Scout.
In "Superman: Earth One," the Man of Steel is a conflicted 20-year-old who's trying to find his way in the world, bearing more of a resemblance to Robert Pattinson from the "Twilight" movies than Christopher Reeve from the Superman films.
He wears hoodies, has smoldering eyes and, as a lanky Clark Kent, wears low-cut pants and hipster skinny ties. Artist Shane Davis also made him less physically imposing -- shorter and less beefy -- than he has traditionally been depicted.
The new look and new attitude are being used to kick off DC Comics' "Earth One" line of graphic novels, which puts their classic characters in today's world. The $19.95 hardcover, out in comic shops on Wednesday and book stores Nov. 2, is aimed directly at the youth market.
"We wanted to tell a story that's hip, sexy and moody," said DC Comics' co-publisher Dan DiDio.
"We wanted to show a younger Superman at the early stages of his career, struggling with his identity and his place. He realizes he doesn't belong anywhere and doesn't fit in."

At The Avenues on 22/10/2010

One of the many interesting things about The Avanues Mall is you can instantly know what is the current trend fashion-wise seeing that everyone is wearing the same just like futurestic sci-fi movies where everyone of the cast is wearing exactly the same as everyone else.

What caught my eye is that nearly every guy was wearing a denim shirt with beige cargo pants or cargo shorts exactly like the dude below

Moving on to the chicks, what's with the high rise pants that every girl is wearing?

Ofcourse the chick has to tuck her shirt in to show off her high rise pants which is ok for me so far. But the hell the veiled chicks were thinking when they tick their shirts in and showing off their pants and their butts as a by-product. When those veiled ladies know that the veil is not all about covering the head but it is all about covering the curves of the body.  

Anyways, now I know not to wear since I always have my own style and avoid being like a zebra that looks like everyone else.

قصة تهز جبال

بغض النظر انها قصة حقيقية ولا لأ لكنها تبجي ولكم فيها عبرة

شـــاب يصفع وجه أبوه بمصحف .......قصة تهز جبال

كان شابا في الصف الثالث الثانوي وكان بارا بوالديه
في يوم إستلام شهادة الفصل الدراسي الأول وكان وعد أبيه له بأنه سيهديه سيارة هـــويختارها
عاد الشاب من المدرسة فرحا وهو حائز على نسبة 96% فاستقبل والده فرحا وعندما رأى
الأب الشهادة إحتضن ولده وقال :أطلب ما تشاء فرد الولد سريعا أريد سيارة الفلانية
وهي سيارة باهظة الثمن فرد الأب والله لأحضر لك شيء أغلى من السيارة فــفــرح الولد
ولكن الأب قال : على شرط أن تتخرج بنسبة تماثلها أو تكون أعلى منها فوافق الشاب وتمر
الأيام وتبدأ الدراسة ويتخرج الإبن بنسبة 98% فعاد والبهجة تملء وجهه
أبي.. أبي.. أبي.. فلم يجد أباه فقبل رأس أمه وسألها إن كان الأب في البيت أم لا ؟....!!!!!!!!
فردت:إنه في الدوام وعندما عاد رأى الأب شهادة إبنه فقال له : خذ هديتك فأعطاه علبة يحمل فيها
المصحف فرد الإبن: بعد كل هذا التعب تعطيني مصحف؟!!!!!
فرمى المصحف على وجه أبيه وقبل أن يغادر المنزل قال: لن أعود الى هذا البيت..!!!
وشتم أباه وغادر المنزل غاضبا .
وبعد عدة أسابيع ندم الولد على فعلته فعاد إلى بيته وكان أباه قد توفى من الصدمه في نفس اليوم الذي خرج فيها الشاب من المنزل
فوجد المصحف في غرفته كما كان ملقا على الارض تماما كما رماه في وجه أبيه على الارض قبل عدة شهور و العلبة مفتوحه فتحسر على ما فعله وأراد أن يقرأ بعض الآيات
فإذا به يفاجئ أن المصحف ما هو الا علبة وداخله مفتاح السيارة التي كان يريدها فأصيب الولد بشلل من هول الصدمة

وأجهش بالبكاء  

ولم يستطع الكلام بعدها أبدا .
