Fienak ya LF?

May Chidiak, the 'Peter Jennings' of the Christian owned Lebanese Broadcasting Company International (LBCI) was critically injured by a cowardly terrorist act aimed at silencing the mainly Christian led anti-Syrian opposition. Although there are many leads to the perpetrators of these vicious terrorist acts, there yet remains any concrete evidence to link any single individual or group. With the FBI and other international agencies in Lebanon, the investigation is certianly heating up especially since those who are being targeted are so influencial in Lebanon. With the exception of the former Prime minister Rafiq al-Hariri, all the targets of these cowardly terrorist acts have been mainly Christians.

The Victims

Samir Qassir an influential editor and journalist at the An Nahar Newspaper was killed in a car bombing earlier this year; Elias Mur the defense minister survived an attempt on his life; and just a couple of days ago May Chidiak survived a car-bombing in a Christian suburb north of Beriut.

The Solution

Samir Geagea must return to Lebanon and demand Emile Lahoud resign immediately so that the complete transition to independence from foriegn-influences can occur. Christians of Lebanon must unite with the former warlord, and not with Michel Aoun who has in the past undermined Christian priorities and concerns. The Lebanese Forces must respond to these cowardly attacks, so that the systemic flow of the Christians from Lebanon can be stopped. Neither Terrorism nor discrimination will keep us from our land that our forefathers lived on. We will not be driven away, but fight for our God given rights.

It's time for the Arab Christians to teach the terrorists the real meaning of Jihad. The Cross must be firmly planted in the Middle East.

Whoa.

Things aren't the way they seem. Your bestest friends can become your worst enemy, the same can be said about your worst enemies turning out to be trustworthy friends. Live life free of what other people think because in the end it doesn't matter what they think but what you think.

It's easier said than done, but this experience of living on my own and finding out who I really am is both disconcerting and liberating. I still have a long way to go and a part of me wishes my parents could of let go a long, long, long time ago, so I can live for myself and myself only.

I don't know what I want from life, nor do I know where I am going with this mirage of what I call a life. So much to experience, sometimes I should loosen up and just experience the smells, noises, rough texture and sights that the world has to offer.

I've gotten over what in the past has made me mad as hell, soon it will be I Mr. Foom who will take over the world...one country at a time.

bum bumm Bumm!

What does one do when life offers no happiness?

As I walked to campus I passed a thirty year old African American man crawling on the pavement speaking to himself and laughing. I've seen this kind of stuff before in the Austin area, but never like this. There are about 17 grown adults panhandling on the 'drag', sadly many of these people have mental health issues that need to be dealt with. Life in America isn't all that it is cracked up to be, I mean we have a high standard of living but everything has a price. It's the mad drive to be successful and attain a large amount of material goods that drives thousands of Americans of all ages to escape their problems through alcohol, drug abuse and prostitution.

Sleepless nights.
A dangerous mind.
Paranoid thoughts abound.
Life wasn't like this before,
Oh to return to the life of before,
Is it too late or have I strayed too far,
Give me life.
