I often share music files with my close friends, so it was about time I got acquainted with psychedelic trance. And I must say, I’m glad I did, ’cause I never thought I’d like this sort of music but what do you know. A couple of weeks ago, I was in such a musical mood [...]

06Feb08On Arabic Drama Series
11Oct07Be warned that this post might lead you to some unnecessary conclusions such as that I have too much free time in my hands, that I’m a man-hater and an angry soul who wishes the world would vanish in the greatest nuclear explosions since the creation of the universe.
Like I said in previous posts, I [...]
The Age of Marriage
24Sep07I think someone should make a sitcom similar to Seinfeld about life in the Arab World.
One of the funniest things in Arabic societies is marriage. Yes, we have actually identified a certain period in a woman’s life during which she can, and must get married, and if we could, we would’ve created an actual marriage [...]
On One Year in Jordan…
03Sep07It’s been a year and a month since I came to Jordan. My life has changed ever since I got on that plane to Amman.
Nothing much to say about the flight itself. The day I arrived is all but a blur right now. Even my stay at some of relatives’ in Irbid which wasn’t [...]

When I was a child, I was taught that religions are very different from each other; shameless comparisons were made and repeated over the years claiming that all other religions are just the opposite of everything my religion is. If mine is merciful, then other religions are sadistic. If mine respects women, then other religions [...]
Coming Back Home
07Apr07I’ve been thinking about this ever since I landed in Jordan: Should Jordanians abroad come back home? Does Jordan need them, do they need Jordan? Where is home? We have an Arabic proverb that says being poor in your country makes you a stranger, and being rich anywhere else makes you feel home. I partially [...]
Why We Suck
10Feb07Even though it doesn’t take more than one glance at any Arabic news Website to realize that, I can give you more reasons:
We suck because we always blame other people for our failure and misery. If we are Arabs, we blame non-Arabs. If we are the people, we blame governments. If we are men, we [...]
