لقد أسمعت لو ناديت حياً ولكن لا حياة لمن تنادي

"CARACAS, Venezuela – Venezuela ordered the expulsion of the Israeli ambassador on Tuesday to protest Israel's military offensive in theGaza strip"

That is Venezuela more than 10000 Km away, shame on us

مكالمة مع الامل

الشاعر : أحمد مطر

أمس اتصلت بالأمل

قلت له: هل ممكن؟ أن يخرج العطر لنا من الفسيخ والبصل؟

قال: أجل.

قلت: وهل يمكن أن تشعَل النار بالبلل؟

قال: أجل.

قلت: وهل من حنظل يمكن تقطير العسل؟

قال: أجل.

قلت: وهل يمكن وضع الأرض في جيب زحل؟

قال: نعم، بلى، أجل..

فكل شيء محتمل.

قلت: إذن عربنا سيشعرون بالخجل؟

قال: تعال ابصق على وجهي... إذا هذا حصل

حفلة راس السنة

كيف ياترى سوف يحي اهل غزة سهرة ليلة راس السنة؟
وماذا عن عواصم الدول العربية كعمان وبيروت والقاهرة ودمشق؟
وهل هنالك ما يستدعي "الاحتفال" في مثل هذة الظروف
قلوب تعتصرها الالام واخرى فرحة بقدوم فرصة للسهر ولالحتفال بالمجهول
يا جماعة الاحتفال هولمن عندة السبب للاحتفال وليس لانها عادة يجب المحافظة عليها
اما بالنسبة لي فلم يكن عندي دافع للاحتفال, ليس هذة السنة فحسب، بل كافة السنوات السابقة وكيف يكون ذلك ونحن صغيرنا وكبيرنا، غنينا وفقيرنا نعيش في حالة من الذل والهوان ، نعاصر الهزيمة تلو الاخرى ونواظب الاحتفالات براس السنة الواحده تلو الاخرى. ادعوا المحتفلين بان يتبرعوا لغزة بمبالغ تساوي المبالغ التي ستنفق على السهرة، ان كان لا بد من السهر وهذا اضعف الايمان

Frigid cold temperature

Arctic wind is on its way to the middle east, Expect -2 , -3 temperature Wed, and Thursday. Most probably dry weather shall prevail.

Weather wise

Expect freezing cold nights in the coming two days, probably sub zero temperatures.
Cold north easterly winds, and by virtue of its origin, it shall be dry.
This will make feel like much colder as well

Let your shoes do the talking

No, I am not going to talk about the size 10 shoe that barely missed President Bush's head, nor about the dilemma that this event would cause security agents all over the world as metal detectors cannot detect your metal-free shoes. Or trying to imagine a future presidential press meeting attended by shoeless attendees on a hot summer day afternoon. I will, on the other hand, show u a joke that I received some time back

ban on Alcohol? a myth or a reality

In many occasions, i find myself debating why i am a no-no guy when it comes to alcohol consumption. of course, to many i am just NOT COOL, BORING. lack progressive thinking! And my mind is simply rendered incapacitated by some disputable religious doctrines! in other words , i am simply متخلف.

Well in an article published today by By GREGORY KATZ, Associated Press Writer,
Britain is considering imposing restriction on alcohol drinking as drink related death is on the rise. This is mainly due to liver problems among young people and such condition is signaling a future epidemic. As a first step, a ban on HAPPY HOURS (discounted drinking hour at bars and rest) is considered. The government is also planning to spend 10 million pounds (15 Million USD) on awareness campaign and enforcement laws against under age drinking.

I would not have personally dared to be a health advocate against alcohol drinking, because, given the above perception, people would immediately think that i am being biased, and as such driven into defending my beliefs in any way. This time, it is Gregory Katz of the associated press that you need to argue with

Cool
