It's nice to see people visiting my blog and voting for my posts...yet no one even bothered to give me a comment except for one nice passer-by.
Is it because I'm Arab?
I know it's not about that, but i had to play the racist chord in hope of attracting sympathy.
i'm still waiting to make it to 30 comments.
please read previous post.

Dear Australia,
I almost died, or should I say almoist (Australian accent) died trying to cross the ocean to the land down under. I have been away for so long on another failed attempt to make it to Aussie land.
I've been really sick and taking all sorts of medications...
you don't believe me? read this.
anyway, i'm back now. but i've decided not to write anymore until i get enough comments telling me to write again. I know i won't get any, but i was hoping for only 30...so that's the new number. 30 comments and i'm back to blogging...
otherwise, just visit me here.

I heard of a man
who says words so beautifully
that if he only speaks their name
women give themselves to him.
If I am dumb beside your body
while silence blossoms like tumors on our lips
it is because I hear a man climb stairs and clear his throat outside the door.
- Leonard Cohen

The fish says:
If I speak him,
you inquired about the person
who says the extent word
where simply their first-rate women
give them themselves to him beautifully.
Silence like the tumor of our lips while if livening,
the thing you cannot say me on side of your body.
That me the person inquires
about that throat stairway outside the door
and that it rises to elbowroom.
Australia,
The sun is out in Beirut and the grass is green and the heat is on. Summer is in full bloom in October, people. Five or six years back we wouldve been wearing long sleeves this time of year. But ever since then, winter has been pushed so far back that, last year only, we spent New Year s Eve in short sleeves. Almost

The after effects of the war are a bit uglier than the demolished homes in southern Lebanon, or the demolished bridges and buildings all over the country. They are a bit sadder than the thousands who got killed or the hundreds of thousands who were displaced. The after effects are a bit dirtier than the garbage and cockroaches and rats that now occupy the streets of Beirut and other Lebanese cities.
Walking down a major street in the capital, I began noticing a recurrence of a strange phenomenon. Children (in Lebanon, this means anywhere between 6 and 60) and young men are standing in groups on the corners of the street dangerously waving pocket knives. These knives are a bit more intimidating than your mignon Swiss Army Knife. They are a bit more evil

Australia,
Did you know that you cant take pictures in Beirut? The reason is that Lebanon is a high-security area. If you try to take a picture of a building that has an ex-minister in it, the cops will come and attempt to confiscate the camera. If you try to take a picture of garbage on the streets, the people who threw the garbage will chase you. If you try to take a picture of a tree, the dogs that piss on it will attempt to bite you

Australia, it's a simple process. Really
Find your favorite poems. Read them once to absorb their gist, get moved by their softness; let the musical words dance on your tongue and in your ears. Let your heart dance with the inner workings of the poem

Dear Australia,
Im sure you know that my homeland, Lebanon, was a victim of Israeli aggression recently. This is not what Im here to talk about, but it has implications on my greater purpose in life. Because of this war, the Australian embassy in Lebanon ended all applications for emigration to Australia
