Poker Night @ Plato app
Form our contributing author – LUV
Thank you “LUV”. May you shoot the moon.
Plato app-
I have never been a game enthusiast. Since I was a child the only game I enjoyed was solitaire, but then Plato happened!
I found Plato app by accident. I was looking into poker games through App-Store. I tried Zynga and played it for a period of time but I couldn’t enjoy it. Every time you log in a thousand couple million ad pops into your face. Besides the graphics was too glittery I really couldn’t focus on the game!
The triggering thing about Plato is the simplicity of it. The founders of Yahoo games of which probably a lot of my age grew up with, re-formed it as Plato with the same DNA to continue the same theme of bringing people closer together through great games. Honestly, limiting the app to games and text only is what makes it fun. Unlike other apps, swapping photos and videos while trying to pull a dice in backgammon!
I have met a lot of interesting people in games. Personally, I always preferred Hold’em-Poker over any other game. Poker people are distinctive and intriguing. You have the serious ones like Reed and Shadow and the fun hyper active players like LuvNot and Eliphino and many other colorful players who come and go. Plato really succeeded in pulling an online subculture of various types of players.
I really hope you enjoy the app, and if you did download it I will set you a good poker table with decent players.

DO NOT Repeat History
Thank you for reading this
“ I’m sorry, but I don’t want to be an emperor
That’s not my business
I don’t want to rule or conquer anyone
I should like to help everyone if possibleWe all want to help one another, human beings are like that
We want to live by each other’s happiness, not by each other’s misery
We don’t want to hate and despise one another. Greed has posioned men’s souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world – millions of despairing men, women, and little children – victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people.The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. ”
Charlie Chaplin – The Great Dictator
We are signing this petition as a moral obligation from us who have been raised on the memories of war and violence inherited from our fathers and grandfathers. We can not tolerate any act of violence upon any circumstances. We are not cattle, we are not animals, we are human beings so start act like one.
Some of us witnessed wars and some did not. Yet, no matter where we are from we have one voice united; Give Peace a chance and stop the war.
Is it the time to quit Facebook?
Saturday afternoon on December 18th, that is the date when I decided to quit Facebook.
Like many other users I got drifted into the blue platform of self-conscious. I have pressed the LIKE button more than I can remember. I have consumed knowledge of worthless celebrities and influencers. I know what is in Laila’s closet more than I do in my mine, and I don’t even know fucking Laila! Facebook recommended her for me and I accepted the recommendation.
Don’t get me wrong, this is not a social revenge – fight the system phase I’m going through, and it is definitely not a self-healing new age voodoo shit. I googled “reasons to quit Facebook” and I found out people dealing with the issue as a substance abuse! Are we that addicted to others opinions and lifestyles?
Well, Facebook gave me 30 days to have second thoughts about my deactivation. Now that’s a big “LOL”. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not against social media, on the contrary I think it is a great tool to reach for Humanitarian Causes, fund raising, business ventures, political debates, but seriously don’t make it your personal mirror projector. I hope you will have the courage to do the same and click on that button and get it over with, because really there are more important things in life than wasting your time comparing yourself to others.
I drank the moon’s reflection
شربت خمرا من إلاهي القمر وشبعت بضوئه
سمعت سجال الأطياف فإنتظرت
قفص من مذاهب وغلمان
مسوج برقائق النعمان
ولكن …
نتن يفوح منه رائحة الأديان
سلام قول ومن قول يهان
سقطت علي لوحة فنية بعنوان
كفرت بإلاهكم فأنا مجرد انسان
فرجعت إلى القمر وإليه المستعان
by ayman knaifati
“Is the sweetness of the cane sweeter
Than the One who made the canefield?
Behind the beauty of the moon is the MoonMaker.
There is Intelligence inside the ocean’s intelligence
Feeding our love like an invisible waterwheel.
There is a skill to making cooking oil from animal fat.
Consider now the knack that makes eyesight
From the shining jelly of your eyes. . .”
― Rumi, The Essential Rumi

” A man called Ove” F.backman free ebook
“And time is a curious thing. Most of us only live for the time that lies right ahead of us. A few days, weeks, years. One of the most painful moments in a person’s life probably comes with the insight that an age has been reached when there is more to look back on than ahead. And when time no longer lies ahead of one, other things have to be lived for. Memories, perhaps” –
Hello again, as I promised you before I posted for you a good book I have read recently. Enjoy and stay safe.
A man called Ove – F.Backman free e-book
six years passed, hello
It has been a long time since I blogged, hell or even wrote anything!
I lost track of all social media stuff; fuck now there is something called TikTok! What the fuck is that. I see people dancing and twirling like a freaking whirligig. Do they listen to them selves before they post it? Anyways, sorry for the negative attitude, I just feel so old for this time.
Six years since the last thing I published in August 2015; six years of nothingness. Well my cat Eva is 6 years old now, I’ll show you some pictures of her, and I moved to a beautiful house in a clam neighborhood. Well old people mostly populate it, but hey don’t I belong there! I read a recent book lately “ A man called Ove” by Fredrick Backman, and I realized how similar I been living my life. You should read it, ill try to find it as a free e-book and post it.
Elephant in the room
Well, lets talk about the big C O V I D or the cute coined name Corona! How do they come up with these names? I never liked Corona the beer it tasted like piss. The whole world has been in lockdown for a year and something now. I don’t want to sound like an ASSHOLE but hey, this virus is the best thing ever happened to mankind. Well they are not that kind so maybe that’s why. For Cats sake I can smell the plants blossoming in the mornings now. Fewer crowds, less noise… I mean serious did you need a fucking virus to actually care about the earth! Anyways, I hope everyone is safe and please take it seriously a lot of people I know have died because of it.
Oh well, thank you for listening ( Dr Frasier Crane) .. no I’m kidding.. I leave you with a clip of me and Eva, my beloved cat.
