I have a strange relation to my two-seat couch when using my laptop. I can only work if I’m sitting on the left side… If I try working when on the right side, I fall asleep, or I start a game of cards. If I try playing a game while sitting on the left side, […]

Jim Morrison never ceases to blow my mind. He smoothly and delicately puts to words my innermost thoughts. Talk about idols.
“The program for this evening is not new.
You have seen This entertainment through & through.
You’ve seen your birth, your life & death;
you might recall all of the rest –
did you have a good world […]

I had two rules for people who wanted me to “let them in”. Don’t lie to me, and don’t take me for granted. Shorter, simpler and better than the ten commandments. However, I’ve recently decided to add one.
If you drink, drank or ever plan to drink coffee from McDonald’s, Burger King, Pizza Hut or some […]

    First the news: I have been accepted as a researcher at a top university here… one of the best in europe, actually. It’s perfect, I will now be working on my Ph.D., researching a very interesting field, earning good money and will have the stability I have wanted for so long. I’m so excited… things […]

    Brazilian comeback

    So, Brazil played in Berlin on Tuesday. God did the Brazilian chicks make a comeback. I can’t believe that I’d doubted them and sided with Sweden for a moment!
    On the other hand, it’s a scientifically proven fact that football/soccer goes down well with a beer, but not with women. A female friend (and boy am […]

    World cup buzz

    Not much to say regarding the world cup. One sad thought: Swedish fans are turning out to be way hotter than the brazilian chicks so far. That’s surprising, and sad. There’s still time to go, and the babes of brazil can still show up and blow me away. Here’s hoping i’m not cheering on the […]

    So the bastard met his maker. Yay. His “spiritual advisor” (a bhuddist, for sure), and top seven lieutenants went with him… here’s hoping they’re enjoying a good single malt in hell, and discovering what they missed out on in life. To the maggots, happy feeding… hope you like scum.
    Since this is somewhat ‘political’, and since […]

    I deleted all my porn. 80 gigs of it. I wanted to clear up some space on my external hard disk, and then realised that actually going through and filtering my porn would be a pathetic thing to do. So, it’s gone. ha. like a sneeze, but nicer.
    I ordered another charger for my camera. This […]

    I recently was discussing education with someone close to me. They were studying at a Lebanese university (my Alma Mater) actually… and were going through some tough time. The quality of education, and my gratefulness to what I recieved from (Lebanese American University) LAU notwithstanding, it’s a very heavy burden to jump from highschool and […]
