Work, work, work
“How much busier can work get?” i keep asking myself only to find work busier than before.
Can I fast from work? lol
No seriously, I do feel like I accomplished a lot but I need to breathe lol.
Got a meeting to run to …
… and has every right to be worried !
What is happening now is like the calmness before the storm, all politicians fortifying their strongholds, arming their men, raising their speeches and tensions.
What are we waiting for to dialogue again ?? The traffic of weapons is becoming so popular its insane, i hear everyday from friends about this guy who got a new Mp5 or Glocks for sale or M16 etc etc …
The old man always speaks wisely, but no one to listen ! The LF should back him up, not just in speeches but through actions ..

I really can’t stand people who lie.
Why freaking lie? Sooner or later we’re all going to find out you’re lying!
Oh and when you lie to me, and tell someone else a different lie… we’re bound to talk to each other and found out you lied to us both!
We all know you possibly are a great person, but those lies you keep telling just irritate the hell out of us, and we rather that you stay away from us… until you learn to stop lying.
I have enjoyed this short holiday. This holiday has truly been relaxing for me and it also made some things clear for me. I am going to start working less and taking care of myself more. I don’t know why I spend so many hours at work. It’s not satisfying, nor rewarding, nor do I feel like I accomplished anything. Therefore, 8 hours of work per day is more than sufficient.
Last night me and some friends thought we should play it smart. We wanted to go out and decided to go to Hilton away from all the traffic. To our surprise, the Hilton Resort had turned into Marina mall, and I have heard today that Marina mall was empty last night.
So basically that’s it.
Stay tuned to watching the continuing evolution of rampurple.
Today is the 8th day of lent. I have to be honest, I don’t know how much longer I can last.
I know it’s not difficult for a lot of you but keep in mind I don’t eat vegetables either plus the food I am required not to eat for lent.
During the past 8 days, I have eaten falafel, fries, fish, non-sauteed pasta, rice, and zaatar.
People! I want beef! I want Johnny Rockets burger with cheese n fries, and a chocolate milkshake.
I want to go to Caesar’s and have their sweet n sour chicken, crap shoup, fish fried rice, and butter nan.
I want to have my KDD chocolate milk every morning.
mmmmmm I want to go to Entrecote.
I think I can last another week, but don’t know how much more after that.
I found that picture of me by mistake 
On friend commented: you were a cute baby, chou sar ? lol
I was honestly surprised to hear his death, i didnt like the guy’s political views neither his newspaper Al-Akhbar, but i enjoyed reading his articles.
Here is a small brief on his life.
From Naharnet:
The syndicate of Lebanese journalists announced the death of al-Akhbar daily chief editor Joseph Samaha in a heart attack Sunday.
Samaha, according to the statement, passed away in London earlier in the day.
Samaha had co-founded the daily as-Safir in the early 1970s as well as the pan-Arab daily al-Hayat later.
He was appointed editor in chief of the newly published al-Akhbar newspaper last year.
Samaha was a famous columnist, reputed for his leftist-secular views.
His body will be flown to Lebanon for Burial. No date was set for the funeral.
Samaha, under the headline “Tuning of moves and slogans” criticized Saturday both factions of the Lebanese crisis, urging them to review their action plans.
The blog and aggregator were done today due to the host undergoing maintenance.
I was having this discussion with a friend today. You know all the pictures of Saints? Usually the women would be wearing nun’s clothing, holding the rosary, or the bible, or a flower or something similar. Can you imagine a modern day Saint’s image?
Bluetooth earpiece, laptop bag on shoulder, ipod strapped on arm. Instead of sun ray on her, you would have a chicago backdrop.. flashing lightbulbs with her name or something…. oh and her name would be her online name… St. Rampurple

I understand the last speech we showed for Nasrallah asking for an Islamic Republic was back in 1986, well thats a much newer one, with the late martyr Gebran Tueni in 1995.
Tueni Interview with Nasrallah 1995
Nasrallah is saying during the speech
” The Islamic republic is the solution for any society regardless of whether this society is a pluralistic one and has several religions, but the main point i want to discuss here is that, oftently, me as a person who holds such a project and believes in it, i seek to imposing it by force on my people and my community, and therefore Christians and non-Christians have the right to be afraid and worried.”
As part of the BEIRUT UNCUT FILM SERIES and in collaboration with MIT’s Lecture Series Committee (LSC), the LCM is proud to host Lebanese director, Omar Naïm, in a special director’s screening and discussion of his internationally acclaimed documentary Grand Theater: A Tale of Beirut at MIT tomorrow, Wednesday, February 21, at 8pm. Naïm’s first feature-length film, The Final Cut starring Robin Williams, Mira Sorvino, and Jim Caviezel, will be screened on Thursday.
About the Director
Born in Lebanon to a journalist father and an actress mother, Omar Naïm is a promising Arab-American director and writer in Hollywood who openly discusses his heritage. Although Naïm acknowledges and embraces his culture, he refuses to be defined solely by it. Instead, it is his unique talent and often quirky perspective that has earned him the respect of Hollywood powerhouses. In 2004, he wrote and directed his first feature film, The Final Cut, which starred Robin Williams, Mira Sorvino, and Jim Caviezel. The film won the best screenplay award at the Deauville Film Festival and was an official selection of the Berlin Film Festival. His thesis documentary, Grand Theater: A Tale of Beirut, was a finalist for the Student Oscar given by the AMPAS in 2000. Naïm was raised in Jordan, Cyprus, and Lebanon and attended Emerson College in Boston. Omar Naïm currently lives and works in Los Angeles (more…).

A Zoë Chip is placed in your brain at birth to record your entire life. When you die, the footage from your life is edited into a “Rememory”– a film shown at your funeral pieced together by an editor. A toy for the privileged, Zoë Chips are changing the face of human interaction, but there are those who are against this emerging technology, and believe that memories are meant to fade. Alan Hackman (Robin Williams) is the best “cutter” in the business. His ability to grant the corrupt absolution of the sins of his clients has put him in high demand. However, his talent for viewing life without emotion has shaped him into a cold distant man and has made him unable to experience life in the first person. He believes he is a “sin eater” and his work provides him with the ability to absolve the dead of their sins. While cutting a Rememory for a high-powered colleague, Alan discovers an image from his childhood that has haunted him his entire life. This discovery leads him on a high intensity search for truth and redemption.
