My flat mate

For those who don't know, this is Amy my Golden retriever and flat mate. Amy is a 10 months old female golden retriever with a tough character. She hates being left alone. If she is (left alone) she will most likely tear the whole place like the picure below. However taking a look at her picture you can see why i can never get mad at her. It is because of her eyes, I mean how can you... look at her...

Please don't die

Why? why? why did you stop your meds? do you not know how critical your condition is? Do you not realize that by stopping your meds you are not only destroying your life, but also mine? Do you not know that some things need a lot of patience and time?
What happened? What changed? You and I have agreed that you won't do such thing?

Why did you stop you meds? Is it because you feel you are doing better? Do you really want to drag yourself and drag me with you to the bottom of the sea again? Or is it because you are unable to concentrate and compete?

I understand your frustration, the nightmare that comes alive with every sunrise, but if you don't change your situation then you'll die, you'll die, don't die, don't die PLEASE DON’T DIE!!

Bla Bla Wouf Wouf!!!

Dear friends, hope you had a nice Christmas. I have been offline for the past week and now I am downloading around a hundred e-mails. Coming to think about this years Christmas holiday…. I don’t know how to evaluate it! Good? Bad? Neutral? I think it tends towards neutral. Except for yesterday night I got really depressed after watching this movie for Meryl Streep I guess it was “The true thing” or something like that. It is like what the fuck is my purpose in life? Ultimately we’re all going to die, so why work hard? why waste our time working on things we don’t love. Why saving all this money, you know…bla bla wouf wouf!!! Damn it this moccacino at Columbus is too damn sweet ewwww. Anyway where were we? Oh yeah depression! Another thing is that my dog is ripping my apartment! Amy is literately tearing my house off :D yesterday she tore the fake parquet floor! Any advice?
Well guys c tout for now! Best wishes for New year’s eve and good luck for your new years resolutions!

Christmas Gift

Dear friends, today i got my best Christmas gift for this year. Indeed i got a positive reply from WV. Those who were following my blog know about this job. It came as gift because it came a very important turning point in my life as well as the country's . The position is "assistant program developer". Moreover this one is an open ended contract. Finally after tens of small projects and freelances and the constant anxiety attacks which hit me at the end of each project... and before finding another one, I managed to find a secure and yet a job which will allow me to imporve within this NGO.

This is my room after Amy went crazy!!!

When my dog PMS's

We all know what happens when females have their PMS. But has anyone wondered what happens when his female DOG PMSs? I am trying to upload the horrifying picture but it is not working, i will keep on trying!

My new flat mate!

Today I got a new flat mate, it is Amy my golden retriever. Finally she is done with her school and came to join her new home at Ashrafieh. Today because of Amy I have discovered the best way to socialize an meet new people; while taking her for a walk at Place Sassine, more then 6 different people stopped me, complemented me for my gorgeous Dog, some of them (a lady kissed her twice), an other guy asked me if I wanted to mate her and gave me his phone number! It is interesting how people can interact and agree on such simple things like how beautiful your dog is, or call me if you want Amy to play with Spike, and how hard it is to make them agree on very essential things like building a country!

The phone call that never comes

My so called recruitment process has so far taken 5 weeks! During which i have made 2 interviews with 5 different persons, 2 hours each and gone into 2 examintions, one of them was a proposal writing! and the answer has so far been " " blank! yes indeed it is blank! neither a yes nor a no, although i have been assured that i would get their answer last monday... when 3 days after the deadline have passed, i contacted them and have been assured once again that the definite answer will be on friday! well here we are on friday it is 7:42 p.m and no answer so far! my patience is running thin!!!!

Tonight, i have decided that it is gonna be different from the rest of the week.
Tonight, i have forgotten that the country is on the virge of breakdown,
Tonight, i have decided to put on hold all my financial problems, all my lack of work related problems, and go have some good time.

1 Margarita, 1 cosmopolitan, an apetizer combo, and a chicken ceasar salad, is all what it took to put me back in a good mood! to make me realize once again that there is more than politics, opression and depression in this mortal world! It didn't take a lot... good mood was only 3 minutes away at Schtrumph Ashrafieh, we ate, we drank, and then we came back home, back to the country on the virge of breakdown, back to the financial problems, opression and depression, away from the good times...
But i had to keep a nice memory of these recently rare happy moments

Celebration!

Today is a great day my friends! The day I have so long waited for.
Today my life will change, definitely for the better. No more begging,
No more hunger or thirst. As of today I live decently, I earn respect.
Today at around 2:00 p.m I received the long awaited phone call.
I dragged my achy legs (from the marathon) and went down to the streets
Screaming, whistling and waiving. Did they see me? No… Yes… indeed they did!
After a lot of efforts, goings and comings! It’s mine! No other person needed it more than I did. And finally it is mine… My brand new Concorde fridge, so white so shiny, so pretty.
As I told you before, no more hunger! No more thirst! No need to knock on my neighbors at 11:00 p.m asking them for ice! Nor at 7:00 am asking them for my milk! And at 5:00 p.m asking for my ice cream… yes I am a man with lots of needs, and finally my savior is here!

Article By Georges Nassif in An-Nahar

لـــــن يبقى بلــــدٌ... لتـــركبــــوه

لا معنى للكلام السياسي اليوم.لا معنى للشعارات، للصراع الكلامي، للنقاش الدستوري، للسفسطة بين اكثرية واقلية، للتظاهرات، للاضرابات ليوم او يومين او لساعة او ساعتين، للانتخابات الطالبية، لتعليق الصور او نزعها، لقطع الطرقات، للاستقالة من مجلس النواب، لمحاصرة بعبدا او السرايا الحكومية...لا معنى سوى لايقاف هذا الجنون الذي سيحوّل البلد مقبرة مفتوحة.الكل يحذّر، ملوكاً ورؤساء وقادة عرباً واوروبيين: انتم على مشارف حرب أهلية. فتوقفوا عن الانزلاق. أوقفوا هذه الشاحنة المندفعة نحو الهاوية.هناك قرار بتدمير البلد او اخضاعه، فلا تكونوا مجرد ادوات للموت ايها اللبنانيون المغفلون.

لا تذهبوا نحو الانتحار ذهاب البلهاء، حاسبين انكم تجاهدون من اجل المشاركة السياسية او الثلث المعطل.لن يبقى بلد ولا حكومة لتعطلوا فيه شيئا. لن تبقى طائفة الا طائفة العميان والكسحاء واليتامى والارامل والمشوهين والمبتوري الاعضاء.لن يبقى زعيم سوى عزرائيل زعيما عليكم جميعا. انظروا حولكم. إفتحوا ابصاركم وعقولكم وتعلموا من تجربتكم اولا، ثم من دروس سواكم.ستعودون الى العصر الحجري، لو تقاتلتم. لن تبقى طرقات ولا طائرات ولا موانىء ولا كهرباء ولا مدارس ولا مستشفيات...ايتها القبائل اللعينة، إعقلي.ايها المهتاجون، ناموا مع نسائكم، خير لكم من ان تضاجعوا بلادا بأسرها، فتنجبون العفاريت.ايتها المحطات التلفزيونية المسمومة، إخرسي. اربطي لسانك واخبارك وتحليلاتك وبرامجك. واصرفي خصوصا مذيعيك ومذيعاتك الذين يعتاشون على الخراب. على المقدمات اللئيمة، والوسخة، على الوجوه المصنوعة من فحم اسود. على الاسئلة مثل الخناجر والدبابير.ايها الزعماء، لن يبقى بلد لتقبضوا فيه من السفارات او تتلقوا الاوامر بالتظاهر. لتخطبوا فيه على المنابر امام قطعانكم الشاردة.لن يبقى بلد لتسرقوه أو تمتصوا خيراته. ولن تكونوا زعماء في اي مكان آخر. جلّ ما ينتظركم هو الموت او النفي او السجن او اللجوء السياسي الى السفارات.ليس من شعب اهبل من شعبنا لتركبوا على اكتاف ابنائه وتلوثوا رؤوسهم. انتم زعماء على هذا المربع من عشرة آلاف كلم 2، فقط.

"Moi, plus jamais esclave des chiens
Vite imposé l’islam des tyrans
Ceux là ont-ils jamais lu le coran ?

Les dieux, les religions,
Les guerres de civilisation,
Les armes, les drapeaux,
les patries, les nations,

Font toujours de nous de la chair à canon"

I think that this song by Renaud & Axelle Red describes the Lebanese situation, much better than any other Lebanese or Arabic song
