And speaking of maintaining anonymity... WHERE THE HELL IS MADM2000? I've been quiet on the subject for weeks, thinking he maybe traveling or مستعسر مع رمضان but now I am truly concerned. We usually chat on MSN Messenger but I haven't seen him since his last post on his blog. I even sent him an email and checked both his MSN and Yahoo Groups sites... Nothing.
However, at some point during Ramadan... he popped up on my MSN Messenger for a couple of minutes. I sent him a message asking him where the hell he had been, and he didn't reply. BUT... suddenly his online MSN ID changed to "From Prison". I told him that was not very funny, and a sick joke. No reply...
That was the last time I saw him, and his ID on my MSN list is still "From Prison"
What do y'all think?
I think MadM has annoyed many high ranked people with his drawings. He was drawing the truth, & as they say, Truth hurts! You might say I?m pessimistic but I really think something bad happened to him, or maybe someone ordered him to stop those drawings, OR ELSE!!!
ReplyDeleteAs for that msg ?in prison? well I don?t know, but a person might not be LITERALLY in prison, to be in prison! You know what I mean?
And that's why anonymity sucks.
ReplyDeleteالله يرده بالسلامة
Well.. does this mean his cover was blown and his identity was exposed?
ReplyDeleteZaydoun, I knew who is MadM but I don't know him personally!!
ReplyDeleteBelieve me, in Kuwait hiding ur identity is hard!
يا ساتر ، صلواتنا لصديقك أينما كان
ReplyDeleteأما عن موضوع الهوية اعتقد أن معشر البلوغرز مختلفون عليه اختلاف المسلمين على معاوية
بعضنا يجد ان الغموض في الهوية يجعل النقاش أسهل وبعضنا يجد أن التعبير عن آراءه الحقيقية أسهل
والبعض الآخر لا يهتم بل يكشف عن هويته
ولا دخل هنا لمدى اعتزاز الإنسان بنفسه، فالموضوع من وجهة نظري في إخفاء الهوية أبعد من ذلك بكثير
هل قرأت صديقي زيدون رواية رائعة ذبت في تفاصيلها ، وانتظرت الفيلم الذي سينتج حول الرواية فكان دون مستوى طموحاتك؟
هذا هو الفرق؟
عند إخفاء الهوية نترك للخيال ان يكون سيد الموقف فباستطاعتك أن تتخيلني كما تشاء ، ولكن لوتم تحويلي لفيلم سينمائي
قد لا تروق لك بعض مواقفي ، أو عائلتي أو لون عيناي، أو طريقة ملبسي أو حتى قد يكون لك موقف سلبي من إحدى صديقاتي مما يجعلني في عيناك أصبح فيلم غير ناجح لرواية أحببتها
لذا فعن نفسي ،ففي اليوم الذي تنكشف فيه هويتي سأودعكم جميعاً بألم ، وأعبر عن آرائي بالندوات والمنتديات!!! أحسن
I don't know why the blog wasn't working properly all afternoon...
ReplyDeleteAnyway.. Bo Ghazi, even when I was chatting with Mad M2000 on MSN for months, I swear (on a stack of مصاحف) that I did not know his true identity, and was never remotely interested in finding out.
I just hope he's OK
Publicity Stunt?
ReplyDeleteGigi, musingly
Can someone get arrested in Kuwait for expressing his own ideas in public? !! Never heard of that before, although I may be one of the naive ones.
ReplyDeleteIt's a disappointment if it was true though.
Have anyone thought he might be depressed? Or maybe he needs some time off? Inshallah he?s ok, he?ll collect he?s thoughts and maybe he?ll have a major come back!
ReplyDeletetotally off-topic.... just wanted to respond to one of your comments on my blog (which i just saw)... send my regards to walid al awadhi... i was supposed to contact him when he arrived in kuwait but.... well i just got sidetracked with a lot of things.
ReplyDeleteI hear ya, Tata. I'll admit I was dubious myself about the whole "From Prison" thing. I think what made me wonder whether it could be a publicity stunt was the fact that MadM had previously declared not once, but twice before that he had given up cartooning as a sign of protest about something or other, only to show up again once enough concern had been registered (and not when whatever he was protesting was resolved to his satisfaction). MadM has cried "wolf" one too many times, in my opinion.*
ReplyDeleteGigi, unconcernedly
*If however MadM really is in some dire situation, then I wish him all the best and may he resolve the issue soon. I'm just saying I'm reserving my concern until I get some hard evidence.
**On a slightly different note, although the idea that MadM is joining msn from prison is just plain laughable, if he *really* was in prison, it's possible that he could have given his password to a close relative to change his MSN id :P Hahaha I'm just fanning the flames, aren't I? :P Maybe I'm in cahoots with MadM? Yes, that's it... I'm his PR exec madri Publicist ;P
Do our on-line personalities have to be consistent? cant we just disappear whenever we feel like it & reappear when it suits us? Artist do not like obligation and I appreciate that, especially in the 'Cyber' world (havent heard that since the 90s!).
ReplyDeleteSheba
ReplyDeleteYou are right,madman could be partying right now or enjoying a sex trip to Thailand ( see Bridget Jones Diaries part 2 ),or maybe he decided to stop his act, yes act,I always thought the guy/girl is fake,probably a group of fat horny girls created this character during a buffet breakfast in a bnaider Chalet ( shakhsiya wahmiya)
Zaydoun,forgive me for saying this but your post sounds like a trailer or a preview to yet another Madman show,Reminds me of those classic comic lines Where IS Batman or Superman when we need him ,and then the super hero magically appears,and saves the world,So tell your buddy to save his/her effort,the act is getting REALLY OLD and VERY BORING!
Bo Jaij,
ReplyDeleteSomething is reminding me of January 2000, if you know what i mean. Can you feel it?
Sheba
ReplyDeleteYou are going to arrange New Years party for your friends too ?
ops...its already been arranged...sorry I forgot!
Bo Jaij,
ReplyDeleteDon't be mean! You know what Jan 2000 was about! And you know what counts most to me.
