About Me

I was born in the United States, but both of my parents are Palestinian immigrants. They are from a small town called Bourin, next to Nablus (Jabal al-Nar).I graduated in 2005 from the University of Washington with two majors: International Studies and Political Science.I'm working for Al Jazeera Documentary now, and no it's not the .COM one either. So that means I'm in Doha right now, and I'm so damn bored here that I'm racing to see how quickly I can kill myself with shisha. That's right biatches, I'm smoking myself to death for now.
