So Qwaider put up a popularity contest for reasons I still cannot comprehend, especially the fact that he himself is not on it.
To my surprise, I found myself one of these contenders. Who-sane, the Dubai-based Jordanian blogger, whose only objective was to record his incidents and observations from an expat point of view, ended up on a list featuring some of the most influential and professional bloggers on the blogosphere. I’m not sure if that’s encouraging or embarrassing.
The ‘Vote for your favorite male Jordanian blogger’ includes some of the toughest contenders: professionals in journalism, marketing, politics and other famous bloggers who have been blogging for ages. But how can someone choose one from these guys? They’re all great and I personally love all their blogs!
To be honest here … just to avoid the embarrassment, although I think there’s no way out of it this time, I tried voting for myself and because I’m very smart, I wanted to click on the ‘View results’ button, but ended up clicking on Vote now, resulting in voting for SOMEONE ELSE! And now it’s giving me a ‘Your vote has been cancelled!’ message!
Ok I just checked it again now and I am really surprised that so far I got 4 votes! Thanks to whomever voted for me, I find it very self-reassuring that there are people out there who think I’m their favorite Jordanian blogger J … perhaps not their favorite but the least annoying amongst others: the lesser of evils!
Anyways, I’m not asking you to vote for me, although do feel free to do so, but I think this represents an opportunity for me to do some renovations around here, either in content, manner, style of writing, or anything that you may suggest … I know it’s difficult, if not impossible, to satisfy all people, but there’s always room for change.
So do let me what would you like to see more or less of around here? Be as honest and critical as you can be … I’m not the kind of person who takes any criticism personal.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL ya boss… you voted for someone else?? hehehehe
yalla inshalla tfooz .. Go Who-Sane GO

Who-Sane, you always get my vote for most clever spelling of a name…makes me smile every time. You are also funny and clever, which makes you blog a must-stop (if I am not referee-ing fights between the Kounouz and get a computer turn)

It took me over 15 minutes to decide between Abed, whosane and Mohanned, you’re all great, but when I finally decided to vote for abu il arabiyyat
the following message appeared “Your vote has been cancelled” which leads to one thing, Qwaider is plotting a conspiracy against mohanned, ana onadded! 
Qabbani, mansaf binfa3?
Three, I totally agree with you, Qwaider is conspiring against Mohanned!
Let’s punch Qwaider in the face and make the world a better place!! LOL!
This phrase has been circulating on the net like fire! I fully agree with you Three, it’s a tough decision to make (another reason to punch him in the face)!
If I wasn’t on the list I would’ve definitely voted for abul arabiyyat, he’s the man of the town!
ha! izan u r like my friend who u remind me of he is on the 25th of sept.. big similarity in character. i guess i related u to him and thats how i guessed

oh and let say u can get MANY
To tell you the truth, I eventually voted for abu jude.. and I asked both my roommates to vote for other candidates, you were one of em, but they got a cancellation msg.. that isn’t fair! but we tried, and i still don’t understand why…they were using their laptops, hmmmm, weird
I guess you weren’t able to because it the system was designed to take votes based on IP addresses, and in your case you all had the same IP address, but thank you very much for the attempt … abu jude bistahal wallah
LOL Qabbani, khalas ebshir, elak a7la mansaf wil jmeed karaki
Yse3ed rabbek, mansaf and cheese cake is on the way
Tab who did you vote for … HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
Ana I voted for Batir
…lol …. just kidding, I voted for you buddy 
I pretty much like everything about your blog - even the title is amusing, and reflects the creativity in your thinking. I like the way you word your posts & the way you write. For some reason when I log onto your blog, it takes a little longer to load than other blogs - I’m not a tech expert so wouldn’t know why.
Keep it up, great blog you have - I thouroughly enjoy reading it

Honestly, you’re my favorite on that list!
Moey is my childhood friend, so he is kinda garaba if you know what I mean.
7aki: Good choice! … lol … but thank you so much
i*maginate: thank you la allah!!
… i really appreciate this! I’m glad you like it. I changed the whole look, does it load faster now?
Abed: thank you buddy, likewise really, I think you’re one of the most respectable bloggers in our blogosphere
I couldn’t understand some parts of this article , but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.
