You think christmas is all about carolling and trees and gifts and love, (oh yeah and that little thing regarding Jesus’ birth??). Well, I’m sorry to burst your bubbles guys and gals (and old chap, for my British reader), it’s all about the money.
Any of you who have experienced an English/American version of the […]

I stayed up all night yesterday, reading “Angels and Demons”, another book by Dan Brown. Another interesting book, with a lot of insight on the Church and it’s history, and it’s relation to science, and “The Illuminati”… another interesting read. Although I couldn’t put the book down, I loved reading it and hated the fact […]

I finished “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” by Mark Twain. I know the story, so don’t laugh. But it’s the first time that I’ve read the original version.
I loved it. Nevermind the story itself, which I’ve read and known for ages. Twain’s style of writing is amazing. It’s like he wants the readers to know […]

And I don’t mean christmas. I mean the downward spiral that fucked up most of this past year in Germany. It’s back!
I’m sitting here, trying to lay blame. Obviously, I’m not going to blame myself. So I started with my university. Honestly, it was a big disappointment. A large portion of the courses were, in […]

This is a very moving speech that was given by Patrick Henry at the second Virginia Convention to discuss the British. This is patriotism at it’s purest.

Patrick Henry, March 23, 1775.
No man thinks more highly than I do of the patriotism, as well as abilities, of the very worthy gentlemen who […]

Tomorrow, I will register my research project with university officials. It took me a while to land a topic, and a professor to undertake it, but I finally did. Anyway, the deciding meeting took place on Friday, and I am now retrieving needed material, starting to read up on the subject, and beginning […]

This highly publicised novel by Dan Brown only came to my attention after I heard that church officials in Lebanon tried to ban it. Naturally, that roused my interest.
On the simplest level it’s an interesting crime novel, well written, and with a nice plot, fast flow.
That’s not where this story got its fame. It delves […]

“Autumn is a second spring where every leaf is a flower” - Albert Camus
Camus is one of my favorite authors. Even though I have only read him in English (French is his original language), his novels are an amazing analysis of human psyche. “The Outsider” is one of my favorite books of all time. Try […]

Who said science can’t be fun?
Sex at the speed of light?
Wormhole-assisted masturbation?
Weird…true. But fun. Einstein’s relativity theory talks about contraction… not very good for the guys. Pedophilia, Necrophilia… it’s all in here.
Einstein is rolling around in his grave.

Britannica Concise Encyclopedia’s entry on the House Of Guise actually surprised me. To those who don’t know, my mother is descendant from the House of Guise, as some members of that family escaped France during the French revolution and settled in Lebanon. I had heard that they played an important role in french history, and […]

Radical Islam is the leading cause of death among muslims.

Can one succesfully profile oneself? Well, anyway, I did… actually, I was just reading an article in the NYTimes and a halfway through I realize that I share almost every single symptom, or sign it mentioned…
I’m… get ready for it…
I am Passive-aggressive.
Don’t judge me, passive-aggressives are people too… I need love, that’s all… Bastards…

Is it normal to be bored, even when you’ve got loads to do?
Could it be like I’ve gone full circle, And I’m back at nothing to do even though I actually have a whole bunch of things that I need to do?
Well. I’ve got loads to do, I’m going through them very, very slowly, and […]

It’s the weak link in every scientific explanation of life, creation, and the universe… It’s the wall that atheists run up against while being atheist… And, it’s probably the only thing that might convince me that there is a God (if you want to call it that), or something (as I would rather call it)… […]

“They don’t want to live anymore”
Someone asked me that today, and honestly, I came up with a list of things…
if you don’t want to live anymore, you could:
1-Jump off a building
2-Jump in front of a train
3-Shoot yourself….
The real dilemma is if someone tells you they want to start living…
(I know, lame attempt at reviving my […]
