a bit of narcissism might help...
(notice please,
my antic-barok-clock
and my Breiteling-watch)
10 years ago, somewhere in December 2000,
I started my writings in the Internet
It happened by pure coincidence
and also coming out of basic overdose
of my political-frustrations.
Later, 3 years ago ,
I decided to have also my own
Blog
" Frustrated Arab Diary"
(initiated and coached by Fausto Guidice, and Tlaxcala )
In the mean time a lot has happened :
Arafat was poisoned
Saddam was hanged
Beirut was bombed
Ben Laden was invented
Gaza was strangled
Israel assasinated Hariri in order to hang El Assad
A Woman is leading Germany
Burka´s were forbidden (in the countries where they exist not)
Mubarak survived two fair elections
Bush was re-elected ( Blair too)
My readers started calling me as "poet"
and the 2 great poets died , Darwish and Kabbani
(forgive me for forgetting other events or persons)
I started writing in one list
and today I write in 32 different ones
I was kicked out of 4 other lists
while 2 lists kicked me out and later
decided to allow me back
and to grant me an amnesty.......a pardon.
One Lebanese list owner called me :
" boring and unimaginative "
One US-Palestinian list owner called me :
"Enemy of Palestine "
One Palestinian-American-Democrat called me :
" the dog of Zahi Damuni "
One Lebanese architecht called me "
" an anti-semite "
One Palestinian from Amman called me:
" comparable to Gibran"
One Israeli-stalinist called me :
" a revolutionary-genious "
And finally ,
my own wife calls me :
" a fanatic-political-exhibitionist "
Therefore opinions, about me , do differ a lot.
I must ,at the end,
admit that a great deal of narcisism is involved
but after all , which writer is not a narcist ??
or an exhibitionist ?? as well.
My Blog
which is in English,French,Portuguese,Spanish and German
has had in total 88.658 readers ( in 3 years)
I shall proceed with my writings
as being my (personal) form of resistance.
I thank my readers ,
also ,I thank my translaters:
Ellen , Annie , Christina, Alexander and Yaotl
and my Coach Fausto Guidice........................
And finally,
I must thank Zionism itself
for offering so many injustices to write about.
