meet dave.

eddie murphy is Dave in the movie Meet Dave. he is a robot disguised as a normal human being, but under all the plastic and metal, lies more plastic and metal! his "body" is being conducted by smaller people living inside of him. what if all of us were like that and we had no idea? ya it sounds dumb, and i know theres obvious proof that we arent robots because of surgery and what not, but hey...looks may be deciving lmaooo! i guess im kinda hung up on a fantasy where something interesting FINALLY happens in my life, but 16 years in...and so far NOTHING! keep wishing guys!

sunrise! sunset!

Lebanon has the most amazing sunrises and sunsets! every year that i come i have to take pics of them both! Last night me and my cousin pulled an all nighter,and now i am sitting on my balcony on my swing and watching the sunrise. ITS BREATH TAKING! to my left is the bright warm sun peaking over the cascades. to my right are quite cozy little homes and sleeping people who are ready to start their day. as i stare far out in front of me i can see blue hills behind the busiest city in lebanon, Beirut. i can already hear the hussle and bussle of people, car horns honking as if to say "MOVE OR YOU DIE!" i see doors being opened, and smell fresh Kishik and Manouchies being made. i can only imagine the sight of my grandmother stalking over a hot stove preparing a huge meal for all our family this morning. one week left and im trying to savor as many memories as possible...with this damn economy, who knows when the next time i come will be? rooftops are flat, and buildings are tall, windows are wide and welcoming in a country that is raised with one thought in mind..."everyone is to be treated like family, and family always comes first." now that the sun is almost fully up, im getting a migrane...so goodbye my loves!

2 months in my home country LEBANON!

so i havent written in sooo long and the reason for that is because i have been in lebanon which is yes, an arab counrty but for all you idiots who think being an arab makes you a terrorist, IT DOESNT! anyways internet access is very limited here beacuse the electricity always goes out. so does the water but eh...thats just some of the perks of vacationing in a third world country! ive never written about where i come from so this is my chance. Lebanon is amazing and im not just saying that because its my home. im saying it cuz theres no legal age for anything!!! hahah woohoo! and the landmarks are to die for!! its amazing to be able to see years and years of tradition being passe down to generations. as a spoiled little brat who lives in the states its incredible to come here and get a HUGE slap in the face. seeing what i have taken for granted for sooo many years! year after year i come and vacation here for the summer and i never stop being amazed! and when it comes time to leave i get a huge frog in my throat and can barely talk because i cry so much! i love all my family and friends here. the home language is of course arabic, but many of the people speak french and almost 90% of the citizens speak English. its a great place to come vacation i cant tell you how many non-lebanese i see roaming in Beirut and letting themselves be overwhelmed with all the countries beauty! Lebanon has so much to offer!
