We killed Jesus & we’re proud of it!

Tel Rumeida is a small Palestinian neighborhood deep in the West Bank city of Hebron. Palestinian families from whom these settlers occupied lands, live directly next to these settlers and are often virtual prisoners in their homes, subject to the settlers' violent attacks and destruction of property.

Extended vacation, more news!

I’m supposed to be in Amman now, but my vacation has been extended until “further notice” for I have some things to finish, like paperwork, visits, and medical checkups for my Mom. How are my beloved people everywhere?



Now, are you interested in Japan and the Japanese culture/experience? Then you should check out Saqf’s new Blog! Ahmad Saqf is a best friend and a very talented Designer, who traveled to Japan early this month: “I am in Japan now for a Master's degree -and hopefully a Ph.D- in Visual Communication, and my main research will be on creating an Arabic Visual Language based on Japanese Visual Aesthetics” “One Jordanian seeking knowledge in Japan for a better -visual- future in the Arab World” Said Saqf. Great one Ahmad :-) and welcome to the Blogging world!

I still can’t believe that I’m going back to Amman, and will not find 2 of my very best friends there! It’s not only Saqf, Nissrin is another wonderful best friend, who’s leaving Amman for good tonight, heading to Toronto, Canada… it’s so sad that I’m not there for another goodbye … I love you so much guys, God only Knows… but inchalla for the best, this is life … Damet, lots of my friends have left and willing to leave the country, I’m wondering why Jordan!

Talking about Amman, did I tell you that I was Nadim Sarraj’s new victim? :-) Before I leave to the states, my Friend, Zain, arranged a prank call with Nadim (aka Raji Douara) for a show called “Nakshet Mokh” on Mazaj FM. My God, I can’t believe what happened to me, LOL! I know that everyone heard it last week, but I didn’t! Here is a link that has a part of the prank (the 2nd part is me). Will post the whole call once I have the sound file.

Also, there is a new magazine called PULP, by grumpy gourmet. Check it out, they actually wrote about Khobbeizeh in it ( Thanx a lot Mosaab). Again, I didn’t see it yet :-( but will post more details later on.

That’s it for today :-)

Will spend a couple of weeks with my family over here and in Chicago.
The trip was really boring this time, cause I had to travel with the horrible Royal Jordanian. And I lost one of my bags, but they found it, and Fedexed it to me today.

I was in Nakshet Mokh on Mazaj FM yesterday. i didn't hear it yet, but will post it soon.
