21Feb07

In reply to Nasim and Khalaf I must say I’m flattered someone called me “cool” even if that was a bad cool, all my life I’ve been the nerd who makes you laugh for all the wrong reasons.
I didn’t know my signature was so important that it might lengthen the unemployment of Jarash’s residents. [...]

baby don’t hurt me…don’t hurt me… no more

30Jul06

No offense but this is what came to mind while I was reading about the “Faces Against War” campaign. I’m not belittling anybody’s efforts here but for God’s sake, this is not a war to start with! technically these are savage, inhumane and definitely disproportionate attacks by Israel, and Hizbollah merely tries to defend itself, [...]
