كم من الأيامِ مرَّ؟ بتُّ أكره كيف تمرُّ هذه الأيام. قد اخترنا الصمتَ انا وانتِ لكن ما زالت لكِ أشياءٌ في داخلي تتمزقُ وأنتِ بعيدةٌ عنها وتمزقني معها تلك الأشياء وإن آثرْتُ الصمتَ علّ المُكِ ينتهي ويموتُ ليلقاكِ الهناء لا تصدّقي فللروحِ حنينٌ وصوتٌ وصراخٌ ونداء

This is not one of my silly posts that are written in a silly writing style, nor one of my silly comments; in as much as they can be fun for me and for me alone maybe :) I don't have time for all that now so that's pretty much it for this post. I need to exercise a bit of perseverance on another level. Over and out.

Blood test

Sugarcane juice, poison, some flower petals, and gasoline, all tinted in red, that’s what makes my blood, is there someone who wants to taste a bit of it? Maybe if someone will taste someone will understand…….. me and someone will taste the little world inside…….. me and the molecules of which my body is made out are clear to see clear to figure out in the light in the dark for a blind man or a hawk in the sky yes but, their nature and the ability of others to look and see is not important, some other things everywhere block them out and why do I blame myself and ask am I hard to figure out? The sun rises every morning and the apple doesn’t fly it falls down to earth, I got used to a lot of things and why not add one more thing to them? I guess it wouldn’t hurt. You look at the mirror everyday many times, does it show you a different face every time? Do you notice the difference or you’re distracted by all things that weigh heavy in life and it just becomes the same face that you see every time? The mirror doesn’t lie, but my human eyes sometimes they tell lies, they tell epic tales that can blow the mind and they manipulate inside even though it’s well known it’s all lies…. It’s really weird how eyes show us the truth and tell lies and we blind ourselves in the stage that processes light.

As my short stay in Lebanon has come to an end the strongest feeling that remains in me is emptiness, or being surrounded by emptiness more precisely. All my friends, those with whom I usually set the flame of the daily life alive in Lebanon are not here. The boys and girls are scattered, let me count, Sweden, Germany, UK, France, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, Oman. Well it’s been fun, I’ve roamed around Lebanon day and night, enjoyed the semi-winter semi-spring weather but I guess the timing was not perfect in particular, except for being able to see a cousin that I haven’t seen in a very long time, she’s here for a short period before going back for her PHD studies in New York; anyway it’s sad how this place is deprived from its young blood, those who are able to make a difference and to make it a better place….. But no one really cares, so why should I? Everyone is so proud of being Lebanese and satisfied with it. I’ve always wondered where this national pride that exists in all sects come from, everyone says proud to be lebanese; but where does it go when the Lebanese deal with each other? I mean if they’re all proud to be lebanese why they are backstabbing sons of bitches when they deal with each other? And more, where does this pride come from? What did the lebanese nation achieve so that they feel all this immeasurable pride? I really don’t know, but I think it’s nothing but racism, they feel superior when they compare themselves to the surrounding countries, and add to that the fact that they convert every single silly stuff to be a miracle; an example is how the Lebanese look at the fact that their financial sector didn’t fall with the latest crisis, we are extremely smart people no one in the whole world has seen it coming except for us and they forget that we buy the cheapest candy bar in HUNDREDS of our local currency and that our financial system has sustained major blows one after the other because we were idiots enough to kill each other and to destroy our country when others were building and developing, and that its through a lot of trial and error that our system has learned to avoid even the minimally risky investments over the past years, because even the minimally risky would be fatal. And honestly I think that the crisis not reaching Lebanon is a bad sign, a sign that the Lebanese economy is so underdeveloped, we didn’t catch the crisis because we have no foreign investments and no strong foreign economic relations, so there’s nothing to link us to this economic heat ball that suffered the crisis, we’re on the margin of the world; the Lebanese economic mass is smaller than that of a single medium Japanese car manufacturer, and its living on charity from the east and the west……….. Ok, I’ve talked a lot but seriously that’s how things are in Lebanon, a protracted growing sociopolitical crisis and no one cares, all they care about is politics, the Lebanese style of politics, the question I’ve been asked the most was: you will not be here during the elections? And I say no and I don’t want to vote… Why? We need your vote plus even if you don’t want you should put a white paper that’s your civil right… Well I’m not going to be fooled by the civil right’s white paper, as a Lebanese citizen I don’t have any civil rights, I’m not worth anything and I can’t do anything unless I belong to a party and I have strong connections by selling my soul to my sect’s leader; well I will not do that and I will not vote because it’s my way to say that I refuse the whole electoral and political system and it would be a hypocrite thing in this case to vote. And I won’t be fooled by the civil rights white paper, keep it where it is it’s better for the environment that way. Enough nagging I guess, I was hoping for a livelier couple of weeks but I can’t complain it’s been really nice with some moments to remember, and a good relief after several months of continuous pressure and overworking, it gave me the time to look for a capacity of self criticism in me and to see where I actually stand from some stuff. Ok, what else is left to say… I don’t know, thank you for reading, this was one of my rare direct personal posts, I’m not that much good when it comes to talking in a simple way about personal stuff, and I guess I’ve bored you enough with the “emotional dimensions” (ouf shu 2awiyye...........Ma heik :P) of my visit to Lebanon so let’s go back to the serious stuff: Liliane baddek traj3ili el Lamborghini elli harabti fia walla shu?????? :P
