Damien Rice – O

Monday, June 6th, 2005

anybody heard of Damien Rice…
well, he’s an Irish singer… he’s great… I only heard his last album “O”… a typical catch-an-eye name for wierdos like me!!
I got it like a week ago…. well actually 3 of us split the price so i had to go through a night of negotiations to go home with the album before the other 2… and GOD, IT WAS WORTH IT!!!!!!!!!!

OMG… I’ve never felt an urge to cry when hearing music like this time…… I MISSED This feeling… I haven’t felt like great music for a while now.. I donno maybe since Coldplay’s “A Rush of Blood To The Head”…. or Travis’ “The Invisible Band”…. anyways… this album is a MUST-GET…..

especially this track 7… “Cheers Darling”… I’m listening to it now.. god, it’s a symbol of every fuck-up in ur entire life, every girl u should’ve been with, everytime u lost a friend, and everytime u felt like ur lonely as hell, every single thing u did wrong… everytime u felt like u wanna just die, and everytime u actually tried to!!!!!!! it goes along greatly with track 9 “I Remember”….. Perfect mixture of a suicidal-pill… this track has the perfect vocals i’ve ever heard… so good it gets into ur spine and fills every little space in ur hollow mind… u feel like ur head is working million times faster… lots of memories, ppl… things coming back.. lots of stuff being processed all over again…. I cried like hell the first time I heard it… sometimes u need this kinda motivation to just cry everything out.. all ur desperation and failures and all of those of the ppl surrounding u… when this track is finished… u’ll get to the end of this horrible but yet astounding journey with a perfect lift-up.. track 10 “Eskimo”… u can actually smile again after hearing this track…

tiredness fuels empty thoughts
i find myself disposed
brightness fills empty space
in search of inspiration
harder now with higher speed
washing in on top of me so
i look to my eskimo friend when i’m down down down”

u feel like u just found ur Eskimo friend… and u wonder where has it been all these years…!

never to forget, track 3 “The Blower’s Daughter”… if any of u had seen the movie “Closer” he must’ve been enchanted with the “I can’t get my eyes off of you…” vocals all through the movie.. well this is “The Blower’s Daughter”…

All the other tracks are just as good… but these are my personal favorites.. maybe cuz I can rflect on them… I’m sure u’ll remember a lot of feelings long forgotten with this album.. I know I did…

The Show MUST NOT Go On!!

Monday, June 6th, 2005
for any Queen fans, Sorry about the title! anyways,
 
on Feb. 20th.. On BBC World, it was a sunday and it was a Talking Point episode about the big event back then
“PM Hariri’s Assasination – Syrian-Lebanese Relations”… earlier that week I happened to send a comment to BBC about that program and becuz of it. They called me on air..
I don’t remeber what I babled there, but, the one thing I remeber was Mrs. Shabaan replying that “Syrian withdrawal of Lebanon was a BILATERAL issue for the two states to decide”, needless to say, a couple months after, They pulled the troops out, and needless to say too, that it wasn’t the lebanese gvmt. that asked Syrian troops out.. it was international pressure (not undermining the effect of march 14th rev.)…
 
It’s just that, how bold can u be to just lie like that, more important how STUPID!!!!! is Mrs. Shabaan gonna be our next “Muhammed Said Sahhaf”?????!! we got a whole set of Iraq staff down here, we just needed this kind of Press person.. great we got it.. call the US in..!!!
 
well, most of ya saw the press briefing she did today, that was exactly like “OMG, Do u think that all these reporters here are bunch of idiots?!!!!!!” Damn, she’s got nerve!
 
Moving on into piss up no2
 
DO U PPL NOT SEE WHAT’S GOING ON!!!
 
I AM SYRIAN, I LIVE ON THIS LAND>> AND I AM INSULTED, I FEEL VIOLATED BY THIS PARTY’S CONGRESS!!! How can ya summerize one of the first ever inhabited places on the planet with one party?!!! I don’t feel okay, when the future of almost 20millions inside syria -and god knows how many abroad- is attached to one party congress!!!
 
I wanna know, how can the same person who read the Bulletin No1 witch called for the “Emergency Laws” 40 years ago turn into a pro-democracy angel calling for that same Law to be removed… how can ya trust the same ppl who had strangeled syrians for the last 40 years to be the new era reformers… I don’t!!  I just don’t…
 
 

English Summer Rain

“Hold your breath and count to ten,
And fall apart and start again,
Hold your breath and count to ten,
Start again, start again…
Hold your breath and count your step,
And fall apart and start again,
Start again…
 
they were just singing this same verse last year when I totally lost it…
yeah, a year ago Placebo were in byblos, I’ve had the time of mylife there…. at this song exactly I moved to the left front side of the stage… there was nothing between me and those triple-x-humungous speakers… it’s like drinking double vodka solo… the only girl who to stand there asked me “r ya high on sth?!?????” well.. yeah ofcourse i was high on placebo!! ;)
 
and u know what… here’s the thing.. i was jumping all around the place with a BROKEN leg..!! yup.. I kinda broke it in the middle of my bakaloria tests.. like a week before the concert… and I couldn’t miss that concert…!! and I was right..!!!! but the worst moments were when I lost my glasses… so I was like half-blind with a broken leg looking for my friend after the party… with 1000s of ppl storming out!!!! that was pretty humiliating…
 
 
cheers

Old ME back bumping and kicking!!!

Saturday, June 4th, 2005
morning.. or maybe good afternoon…!! I’m still dizzy from yesterday.. though I got myself couple hourse of sleep..
exam?! sux big time… I’m totally screwed next year./.. TOTALLY
 
today, I regained the LOST ME again… I did sth haven’t done for quite a while now… I bumped into every single post I could find on the way to college… I felt so happy being the old stupid buthead bumper… I BUMPED INTO ALL OF EM>>> U CAN’T IMAGINE>>> I’m walking all normal and tryna get last minutes equations, and all of the sudden a lighting post!! OUCH>> I even tripped down like 3 times… I’m so happy today.. I feel like me again.. why?!
go check the lighting posts near my school!!! yeah.. those we’re great days.. at least ppl got used to it.. after a while it doesn’t seem so funny to have someone flat on his face.. or breaking his nose into a lighting post!
 
another huge event today… RML FM or (99 FM>> I HATE THE NEW NAME) is finally back on air… at least where I live…!! damn this station rox.. especially..LAURA!!! wow… she’s got the sexiest voice on the FM waves.. she gives shivers when she speaks.. for 3 years “Live @ 10″ was my favorite talk, both on TV and Radio/// not a great achievement, if u take in consideration that the only channels I had on TV is Syria1 and Syria2…!! ;)
 
btw, anybody heard Oasis’ new single “Lyla”… IS IT BREATHTAKING OR WHAT?! wow.. the guitar the clip.. the girl… the band… I just love them… I’m definitly getting that album!!

I got 70 pages of mathematical eqations and unbelievably impossible-to-understand abstract theories… and I’m stuck here writing blogs… DAMN… I mean after at least 13yrs in the school buisness as a student.. how stupid am I to still believe that “well i’ll do it through the night… I’ll pull a full nighter.. and we’ll live happily ever after”… well.. I’m exactly that stupid….!!!!!! it’s 8pm for heavens sake…

“Don’t delay today’s work…” how easy is that to say!!! wow… these sayings reaaaly realy don’t work…!!

I watched stuff for like the zillionth time today… I’m that desperate… and everybody’s out STUDYING… I hate u guys… why can’t we all just fail this course!!! damn u…

In tribute to Samir QASIR
One of those who managed to get Syria alongside Lebanon when talking about FREEDOM…!! a personal Thank You from a very grateful Syrian…

I reckon ur not gonna be here to see this… but we’ll have our March 14th… I don’t care when.. but I’m pretty damn sure we will… I’d like to think that u ppl got satellite channels up there to see Syrians get their independence too……

Thank You Mr. QASIR… I guess I won’t be checkin on Annahar every friday… at least not with that rush…!!!
