About Me


Try the BEST MySpace Editor and MySpace Backgrounds at MySpace Toolbox ! Pourquoi L'ignorance?
Parceque le mal, ou bien, nos petits problemes du quotidien, que l'on soit au travail, entres amis, ou en famille, nos mal-entendus, nos assomptions, coulent d'une meme source; celle de l'ignorance. c'est une ignorance de culture et de caractere, qui, eux aussi s'associent a une ignorance de ce qui est dit, autrement au langage. Le langage en tant que contenu (ce qui est dit) et forme (comment il est dit). C'est une minime ignorance de tous ces facteurs qui nous pousse a crier, a hurler, a pleurer, a s'inquieter, a se questionner, et a en tirer toutes sortes de conclusions. Je ne m'interresse plus aux grands ideaux, a ces grands mots qu'on samuse a jeter partout, pour moi la vie c'est le quotidien, et c'est cette ingorance de la parole que je voudrai que les gens, pausent un peu, et evitent ses pieges.
Pourquoi Le Banal?
pour le plaisir de converser avec qqun quand on le connait pas, quand on sait meme pas sur qoui on parle, mais quand meme on donne le ton le plus serieux. Pour leur dire, que non! il m'a l'air que ca fait 27 degrees dehors vous etes sur que c'est 25? Pour pouvoir entrer dans une banque et leur demander toutes sortes de questions sur leurs comptes, les interets, la situation financiere, les investissements a long terme, quand on a meme pas un sou pour le bus.pour creer l'humour quand il n'a meme pas de palce, et l'apprecier en plus. le banal c'est le quotidien supportable, meme agreable.
Pourquoi Meaning is Dead?
euuuh, t'es sur que tu as lu tout ca et tu demandes cette question?

My Interests

I like to sit in a coffee shop and read, only light stuff there, such as detective mysteries.

This merges my two addictions of coffee and detective mysteries perfectly, and I spice this solitary activity with a touch of lounge music on my mp3 player (not an ipod i wish!) I like to take pictures a lot, drive when its raining, or just during the real autumny days in Lebanon, they're scarce in november and by december winter has settled. I love to go to movies, but prefer a dvd night with friends and a good Chateau Kefraya to going out.

I want to explore contemporary literature more. All my life I refused to read anything past 19th century. I finished Jean Genet which I liked, I once read Le Marin de Gibraltar par Duras, and I didn't like it at all, but if I read it now I'm sure I will appreciate it more. I want to read Alain Robbe Grillet! I must no? But the edition of his books is so expensive! I also have some books on Naturalisme et Realisme and an overview of the history of the novel. But these will have to wait. The Good Authors, Camus, Kundera, Maugham, Proust, Collins, Melville, Wilde, Orwell, Balzac, Zola, Flaubert, Baudelaire, Sarraute, James, Woolf, Les Goncourt, Eliott, Christie, Simenon, Verne.

As you can see, Persepolis will be showed in Lebanon, strangely in only two theaters, both in the "Christian" sectors of the country, but since cities are open to one another since 1990, I’m con...
