What's for fun when a bomb goes off? - The Orange Room

METALLICA

What do you do when a bomb goes off and everyone is worried? What helps you relax and take your mind off of the bad situation?

Some people would want to party, others drink, some may just want to be left alone.. What do you do to relax in such tough moments in Lebanon?

Chief

anything that represents a fashet khele2 for me. could be my punching bag or my PS3 or a walk on the beach. but definitely no tv, no internet

Rors

It doesnt affect me anymore
Now my reactions go like this:
Explosion?
Where?
Victims?

Then I start calling those who might be on or passing by the scene to make sure everyone i know is ok
Once done, i carry on with my regular day
When it doesnt hit home, i dont feel concerned anymore
Sad, but true

In my jukebox I found these lyrics.

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens,
bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens,
brown paper packages tied up with strings,
these are a few of my favorite things.

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels,
door bells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles.
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings.
these are a few of my favorite things.

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes,
snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes,
silver white winters that melt into springs,
these are a few of my favorite things.

When the dog bites, when the bee stings,
when I'm feeling sad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
and then I don't feel so bad.

when a bomb goes off, after all the worry about the parents, relatives friends, all you need is a hot shower to take away all the fear you had when the lines were down~

Ya Cora raw2iya shwei. It's just the words that were chosen and you took it the wrong way. Bombs are the fashion now in Lebanon, and not everyone gets directly affected after each one. So what the question here says, everytime you hear about this, what is it that you do to distract you from it.

I'm glad your son made it out ok :)
