My Interests

music most of all, internet, trying new softwares and amuse myself with how they function. pets,learning about human behaviour in different cultures. poetry and art. oh and i enjoy architecture, well just looking at buildings is fun.

I'd like to meet:

people who let me be mean to them, who have nice voices; i'm a voice fetish. people who inspire me to write. and who are just cool to chat or correspond with , and then say goodbye or stay friends for a long long time. david again, and Omar al Najjar my friend and soul brother. and i'm not sure who else.

Music:

of course! it's the background of my daily life. all sorts, but i like rock , and country the least. i do like very old iraqi songs too.

Movies:

comedy, drama, chick flicks,documentary, some thriller, some horror,war movies;becuase not like action movies, they are actually have a wisdom ( i sound so nurdy saying that i know), and i watch a lot of movies that has to do with trials.

Television:

too much of it. it's on all day long. i like sit coms ,talk shows (some of them), crime mysteries, some reality shows,etc.

Books:
