Today out of all of the days.... is possibly a special day; or not. I could rant and rave and curse out my so called phone plan for sending me a bill for $120.But why? Very few people remembered this day and I assume that I could care less.Today is going to be the day that I reflect on all of the accomplishments and achievements that I have made in my peculiar yet interesting lifetime.I don't want to boast but Im glad that I have found a motif in my derlirious and bizzare adolescent years.
Here is to me and to Al Nabad

I was tempted not to leave a comment. But I think I'll end up doing it anyway.
I disagree with you on 2 things. one issue you've talked about, which is really not that crucial, is foul language in a certain type of music. But anyway thats not the point. I agree that foul language in music , any type of music is not constructive but I highly disagree on the choice you made to be your Example. You took the example of a song by some Lebanese Hip hop artist and honestly in the example you gave , this is certainly not foul language or cuss words and this type of language he used has nothing to do with "right and wrong" and it certainly is freedom of expression. You leave me with the impression, even a bit of assertion, that the reason it bothered you is not in the mutation of an absolute truth , as you tried to portray it, but maybe because it goes against the way you were raised. But we should not forget a lot of morals or values we are raised to believe in are man made and vary from culture to culture, and are highly dependent on where, when and who raised you. I think the term "to be open minded" is the term used to describe people who are able to go over those cultural barriers whatever different they seem whatever offending to their "system of beliefs" they are.
As for the Second comment. It has to do with an other article you wrote where you call "Lebanon" , "A Heaven on earth". aNd I have one thing to say "WAKE UP". We can't grow as a people, and go forward if we are unwilling to admit our faults, which we never did/do and thats why we keep going backwards. I think my first 2 or 3 blog posts express better my true position toward this country and its people. Enjoy reading
Good day
Now this is what I truly call constrictive criticism. I've had some difficult times receiving this. I’m glad that you took the time to leave a comment and read my articles as well.
Well I have listened to so much music that I have just seem to come to a conclusion that those were the worst types of genres or singers I have heard. I know that everyone has their own certain taste and what I might think is wonderful someone else might think is terrible and vise versa.
You are very right and I cannot disagree with you.Im still new to the writing scene and Im exploring different styles and techniques so I have yet to learn and discover so many new things...
The way I perceive Lebanon seems to be constantly changing. I dont want to say its a lost cause ... I dwell on the past too much and the only way I can go ahead is if I let go.But letting go seems to be the hardest thing I could ever do.
Wait.
Special day?
Was it your birthday celebration?
yes ;)
