طريق اللي يروح، و ينسى

أنا صعبان على كل الناس اللي بيقروا البلوج دة، بأمانة. بفكر اني امسحه خالص. صعبان على انكو تقروا كل القىء الفكري اللي أنا بعمله ف البلوج دة. يمكن تكون فكرة حلوة اني اكتب كل حاجة ف كراسة مكتوب عليها من برة: سارة في طريقها للجنون.

يمكن فكرة مريحة بالنسبالي اني ابقى عارفة ان في شخص ما في مكان ما سمعني، أو يمكن فاهم الهسس اللي انا بقوله دة.
غريبة انني مستريحة في كتابة العربي مع اني اسرع بكتير لما بكتب بالانجليزي.

مسافرة يوم 24 ، و مبسوطة اني هاشوف اخويا اللي بقالي أكتر من سنة ما شفتوش. اعتقد ان سفر شهاب هو بداية الفوبيا اللى عندي من الرحيل بشكل عام. فكرة انني اسافر و انسى بلدي، فكرة الوطن الغبية و الحقيقية ف نفس الوقت. هو ما نسيش بس مين عارف مش يمكن أنا لو سافرت انسى؟ انسى أنا مين. أنسى أنا كبرت ف انهي شارع، انسى عربية الفول اللي على أول الشارع اللي فيه بيتنا، التفاصيل. الفكرة نفسها مرعبة.

Considering Apathy.

-Who said apathy is wrong, and passions are right? Who said that?
Why the hell do your little ugly problems and your little troubles with yourself matter? They are not even a scratch to compare to the scars in the body of all humanity, why do they matter?


*Sick, I'm sick of hearing all the little silly chit chat about absolute nothingness, as much as it hurts to walk down a street alone, as much as it's a relief. I will breathe, and I will know that I will now let out all my spite, and try to live again, and sense again after being exposed to all the shallowness. I insist, I will see my coffee before I smell it. I will smell my coffee before touch it, I will touch my coffee before I taste it.

-You and your stupid faith in so many beautiful things. Things are beautiful until they start talking. I have always thought that. People are beautiful until they start talking. They they expose how ugly, how immersed they are in their little worlds and their little things. How they have no feeling of energy within them, how they pretend and pretend. How they think they are great, the greatest. And you know it, you just want to slap someone each time they something abolutely pointless. How you want to slap someone when they cant understand that the best 10 minutes of your day are when you're alone in the morning, drinking your coffee and smoking your morning cigarette in the sun.

*I walk and my face is always down, first I was not thinking, I just didnt want to see people/people to see my face. Then, I forgot about them, and I could walk for minutes without realizing that I am now in the other building. I wander and I dream. I laugh and I cry. I am in my own world, too. Why do I blame people for being too immersed in their own problems and not being able to feel the sun rays in the morning and imagine themselves a newborn baby?

-You got too used to them around you, now you are giving hem excuses to be the one-track minds they are. You are giving them an excuse to forget all the sadness there is every single step you take in the street downtown, all the happiness there is every single step you walk downtown and all the life there is every singly step you walk downtown.

*-Not everyone's a stranger. Some of them turn out to be, some of them don't. The strangers are the ones who never hurt you, it's the ones that embrace you that do. How could a man whose passions only rise after his mind has fog hurt you? He can't hurt you, he's a stranger. He never slept in your mind, he never slipped through your fingers. How could a man whose life exists to do, and undo ever hurt you? He's also a stranger. His heart never beats by your rhythem. They don't understand much of your common sense. The one who hurt you was the actor on his stage. Why? Because he was hurt and he did not know why. He realized he was not a stranger, he realized how much time he had spent looking throught the mirror and into his own eyes wondering whether or not it's his reflection. And he held your in his arms, but, you were stabbed by the same blade that lived between his ribs.

And still you wonder why you cry randomly in the middle of a happy movie, or when you see a McDonald's ad?

Whatever the hell happened to cheesy romance stories.

What happened to cheesy romance stories in which people give so little importance to religion, political views, everything that keeps people apart? What happened to the romance stories in which two people are just obsessed with eachother, never talked about who's whose type, or what they could do better to fit the picture that the other person has of the parent of their children better? What happened to the cheesy night telephone calls and the weird small gifts that have absolutely no thought in them, the unoccasional flowers and love notes? Why did the term change from "waiting for the person" to "long-distance relationship" even though, supposedly, the world is now a global village? What happened to the love notes, or even emails that say abolutely stupid and silly things?

When will I believe that you can wake up to the same person every single day for more than 5 years and not get bored of them, as if they function as a part of your family?

أنا و أنت

ننام على الرمال
و نراقب النجوم
أفكر: كم أنه مشهد مكرر
من رواية مبتذلة
و تهمس في اذني ان
هذه المرة مختلفة
لأنها عننا
أنا
و أنت
تفكر: كم تجعلني النجوم مغترباً
و أقول لك
أنني لا أرغب في وطن
سوى ذراعيك
ننام على الرمال
نراقب النجوم
و أحاول جاهدة
أن أحفظ ملامحك
لاسترجعها عندما نفترق
