I've been along the Syrian-Lebanese Border points for the last two days Since I'm part of the Red Crescent's Disaster Response Team, things aren't good and they don't seem to be getting any better soon.
More numbers of refugees are coming in everyday, some of them can't go in because they don't have any credentials so the only choices they have are to stay at the borders and wait for something to happen or go back to Lebanon....
We ,the Red Crescent, were giving out water and juice and whatever other Foods we Received in the first two days, and a little kid, probably an 8-year-old, comes to me and says: "Please give me two bottles of juice for my younger sisters, I don't want any for me..." I still hear him say it over and over in my mind, war makes little children grow old, it takes alot of things from them that they'll never get back, Damn.
I'm home now but I'm going over again today and I think I'll be on a 3-day shift, more on the refugees when I come back again

Lebanese Army
On the news bar on anb t.v :
The Lebanese Army supports the Resistance right to defend Lebanon against the Isaraeli agressionI usually don't write about politics but this is hillarious!! What is the Lebanese Army exactly for? To play paint ball, to show off their uniforms and for Wail Kfori to sing "ana bokra raeh aljaesh" about it! is the Lebanese Army just a fancy name for overgrown boy-scouts?? This is absurd!

Why I'm an Atheist...
I don't like talking about religion much; eventhough, I'm gonna do it just this one time, I know what I'm going to say will make a lot of controversy, but be forwarned that i'm NOT trying to convert or convince anyone with my beliefs, I'm just simply stating why I'm an athiest; for those who would feel offended by what I'm going to say: "please don't keep on reading..."
- The 1st Paradox: God is fair, or is he? God creates a person knowing that that person is going to take actions that would eventually lead him/her to Hell!! I'm not discussing if this person has a choice or not, I'm assuming that he/she has the ability to choose his/her actions. what I'm trying to say is that creating an entity knowing that it's gonna behave in a certain way even when it has free will, then punishing it for this behaviour doesn't apply to the definition of fair. When God creates someone previously knowing that he/she would choose a path to hell isn't really giving him or her a choice now is it??
- The 2nd Paradox: God gets angry!! Anger is a reaction to a upsetting event that we didn't know about earlier, but since God is omniscient and knows everything, how can he be angry about things that he already knew it was bound to happen?? When you throw a rock up in the air you can't get angry because it fell down again because you already knew will happen. So I find the whole concept of God being angry at the actions of humans very hard to understand....
I Could keep on going about this forever if I wanted because the talk never ends, I think I said enough to explain my point. At the end I just want to remind you that I respect everybody's beliefs and I refuse to judge anyone or be judged based on religious beliefs, "Addein lellah, walwatan lejjame3"

It'll Never Be Over...
"It's not over till the fat lady sings..."
If the Fat Lady even thinks about opening her mouth I'll shove my foot down her throat...

On Life Again...
Life is all about the timing, and I'm not talking here about the importance of time mangment, that would just be too boring. What I'm trying to say here is that life is like a radio!! "How is it like a radio?" You ask.
It's because when using a radio if you tune in on the right station at the right time you'll hear your favourite song played, but if you don't know what station usually plays that song or you didn't have a clue at what time it would be played and all you got was silly talk-shows or commercials at that time, that means you missed your oppurtunity to hear that song at that particular time. Of course your might hear it at some other time or at a different station or even listen another song that you might also like, but that's not the point, the point is that at that time you had a chance and you let it slip right through your hands.
P.S. I've never been good with the radio.

Beginners Guide to Body Building
I've been working out regularly for the past two and a half months, so I thought why not write a begginers guide from my own eperience? This is Body Building 101, the good, the bad and the ugly:
- Don't think that your body's gonna change in 2 hours of workout, it would take at least a couple of months to get noticable results, consistensy is the keyword.
- Losing/gaining weight is also a matter of time don't feel frustrated if it doesn't happen as fast as you want.
- There's no need to get on an extreme diet; just concentrate on brotein and try to lessen the amounts of fat and carb.
- Never overload yourself with heavy weights, increase them gradually.
- When increasing the weight make sure there's somebody close, (getting stuck with 60Kg./132Lb. over your chest is NOT an enjoyable experience)
- Always make sure that you're doing your workout the right way, if you're doing it wrong it wouldn't do you any good if not cause injury. When in doubt ask your trainer.
- Hip-Hop and Rap music is the best when working out, it gives you a nice boost. [Rock, Slow, Classic, and Fairouz do not work]
- "Just say NO." don't take shortcuts by using steroids or whatever, keep it clean.

Dream 2#
I thought blogging some of my dreams would be fun, this is one of my really screwed up dreams, It goes like this:
That's how it ends, I'm in love with a girl but try not to let another one see us, because who knows, maybe something could happen with her too. I don't know the first girl, the one that loves me, but I have a feeling that I know her face, the other girl, well she's just the cute girl-next-door
Come on I know that this is one F@#%ed up dream, I'm not that kind of guy, infact I believe those kind of people well deserve a punch to the face, but I'm saying to my self this is only a dream so it's ok for it to be crazy.
I'm in a room with a girl, we're talking, actually she's talking telling me things - to tell me she loves me, obivously - and she forgets one thing, apparently she has written them down so she tries to unfold the paper to remeber it but I catching the hint ask her to let me read it. she doesn't mind and gives me the paper, I read the paper while holding the girl between my strong arms ,[since I've been working out for the last 3 months :P], anyway now i know that she loves me and suddenly we're in another room of my house sitting on a bed kissing, [she wasn't a very good kisser by the way]. since dreams are always crazy my mom and little sister appear out of nowhere in the room, [spoiling the fun]...at the same time I look out the window and notice the pretty girl-next-door so I ask my mother or sister to close the curtain,[because I don't want her to see me with this other girl], I don't want to ruin my chance with her now do I??!
Come on I know that this is one F@#%ed up dream, I'm not that kind of guy, infact I believe those kind of people well deserve a punch to the face, but I'm saying to my self this is only a dream so it's ok for it to be crazy.
