* Le Liban
Things are going crazy in Lebanon.. they hit the airport, gas stations, sea ports, bridges, and highways... in short, they're ruining the lebanese infrastructure! You dont like it? "Well, blame Hizbullah! they are the one's who dared to talk back to us".. Dont get me wrong, i am against violence in all forms, but when someone offends you or your country, then you should show them where they stand.. no one spoke up when they kill or capture hundreds, but capture one of theirs and it's hell.. Dont blame the people who got you your Liban back, again blaming the _wrong_ enemy.. What I wonder about is this: Where the $#%#^ is the Lebanese army and government? How can they stand and watch it happen? Least they can do is stand next to HA until this is over and then they can reprimand HA for getting them into trouble... Saudi Arabia condemned what HA are doing! Come ON! no one asked you for support, but ya3ni when you have nothing good to say, say nothing..Why are you condemning the attack? Is it because your ever-so-spoiled people has had their ever-so-fancy vacation plans to Beirut and lebanese spas ruined? What kind of culture is this? how can you overlook what happens on a daily basis and only talk when you should be acting...
The shouldve-been-Arabic country that really takes a stand? Iran.. makes me proud.. best researchers, best scholars, philosophers, and still they have the guts to take a stand! In fact i noticed them first when i was at uni and a philosophy professor talked about their president (ex now) Mohammad Khatami, a philosophy researcher that was very modern, yet very down to earth and sticking to his principles.. Forget about religious inclinations and all, these people really hold their ground.
Anyway, enough about me and politics.. I wrote this in my post draft so I had to share it anyway..
* The Wednesday Effect
Last Wednesday K. was reminding me when i first knew him that he thought i was crazy because -unlike all people- on Wednesdays i didnt feel happy tomorrow was a Thursday.. instead, i always had the "would they insert just *one* more day before Thursday?".. Funny thing is, he said that just after i was having this thought (he thought i stopped it but he still thinks am crazy anyway).. The thing is, one usually sets the "by the end of this week" kind of milestones.. having said that, my wednesdays always come too early and i wish there were one more day in the week squeezed between Wed and Thurs..
* Me and Google.. (or "Another bloggable thought stolen from K.")
I google just about everything in a coversation.. in fact, if you ask me a question, i will probably answer you then google it to send you a supporting hyperlink! :D
here's what happened... Kareem had part of a song in his msn name, i googled it and replied to him with another part of the song, plus my opinion altogether about the lyrics.. and here's what he said:
"without google i don't think u'd be able to survive
ah just google it and it will all go away. Google, the modern solution for modern problems... and u can smile at the end of the commercial"
funny thing is, HE googles as much as i do!
dont like this post but feel inclined to post it anyway..

howa our life can be without google aslan? :)
Mmmm...is there really such a thing as the Lebanese army? Up until just over a year ago, that would have been the Syrian army, I guess. I think Hezbollah is the strongest military presence in the country at this point.
I saw something on TV (I think it was Aljazeera) showing Lebanese ground troops firing on Israeli planes. They were using little more than machine guns. Anti-aircraft weapons of 30 years ago probably.
I used to think that it was a waste for countries to spend on arming instead of on food for their people, but that isn't always true, is it? Without arms, you risk losing your dignity and even your sovereignty.
So be it. Let there be war.
Person1: I will kill 1000 jews and 1 clown.
Person2: Why the clown?
Person1: See, nobody cares about the jews!
I dunno but eman m's comment on the post reminded me of that joke.
@ eman m
yes Google gave a new meaning to life! (and more reason to reduce stupid questions :D)
@ Karembu
according to my certified resources, there is no such thing as an "army" awi.. HA _is_ the strongest presence fe3lan. That was my point, if there is anyone capable of fighting back, it is HA.. the so-called "army" is not even in possession of (i dont know what they call them) anti-aircraft missiles or whatever..
lol now i saw you called them the same in ur comment... so my guess they were machine guns what you saw! :D
@ Chris
I like the joke.. however, if eman m commented on a small thing in the post, then you commented on a comment! :D
Person1: I will kill 1000 jews and 1 clown.
Person2: Why the clown?
Person1: See, nobody cares about the jews!
Person 3: I ate pizza yesterday!
I randomly stumbled here but I can't believe you said what you said about Hezbollah & Israel. I don't know where to start... err.
