Xena, the latest planet in our SS?
What the hell? We’re still discovering planets in our own solar system? It makes me question how advanced this age really is.
Pluto was discovered in 1930, 75 years later, they discover another planet orbiting the sun. They christened it Xena, apparently, after the warrior princess with large boobies. The […]

The book list on the left has been there for ages. I’m finally reading E.E. Cummings’ Poems and David Allen’s “Getting Things Done”. The latter is a very interesting work, really helpful to get yourself organized. E. E. Cummings’ poems are mindblowing, to say the least.
In between, I read “The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The […]

The high (or for that matter, low) point of yesterday was when I sort of sat on a cigarette, and sort of burned my ass.
The silver lining is that I don’t smoke cigars.

Splash!
The pebble bounced off the surface.
By the time it had sunk, he’d picked up another.
He was called inside before he was able to throw it.
This had become a sort of routine; seeing her. Over the past few months, her skin had dried up and shrank. That didn’t really trouble him. He found it meaningless. She […]

I’m not blogging on terrorism, I’ll do that later.
Due to an unforseen turn of events (yet, I sort of saw it coming… Murphy! You and your fucking law… burn in hell!), i’m heading back to hamburg. Tomorrow. Fuck. HAMBURG! Goddamnit. For a short while, though… just a few days, hopefully, a couple of weeks at […]

VOA News - German Court Denies Extradition of Suspected Terrorist. Pretty nice, eh? Democracy fucks up again. Western civilization fucks up again. Human rights my ass. The world needs to realise that these cocksuckers aren’t evading taxes, they’re plotting mass murder. Change those fucking laws already. Wake the fuck up.

I am the proud owner of an empty room. I just finished helping a friend transport all of my furniture. My new life, in Berlin, starts Friday! (sort of).
Another feel good story. I walked into my regular coffee shop today, and one of the waiters, whom I’ve recently befriended was wondering why I had no […]

I’m not at a loss for topics. After the London massacre, every post I had in mind seemed irrelevant. The world disgusts me. There are no fucking justifications for what happened in London. Maybe it struck me more because it’s on my shortlist of places I’d like to live and work in, maybe because it’s […]

A small article on McSweeney’s listing places you should visit has Beirut on there. It’s a small article, lost between tens of others, but nonetheless, it made me feel good. The author’s main point was describing a falafel shop (the best falafel in the world, apparently), but he mentions the glory days of Beirut, and […]

Or is it a small country?
As my regulars would know, I hail from Byblos, Lebanon. I was recently there for a short vacation. I was at the barbershop, getting a haircut. This story recounts the events of that fateful day.
My barber is also a good friend of mine. We were catching up, and I was […]

Three movies, briefly.
The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy: Sucks. The book is hilarious. The movie fails. The voiceover says it all. When you need to read sections of the book, in the movie, it’s a failure. For someone who hasn’t read the book, the movie wouldn’t make lots of sense, the plot isn’t coherent, and […]
