Not for the Norm...
For those who may consider themselves, out of "norm", you may consult the other blog.
Ashes & Dust ...
Let me teach you a few words in Arabic. Ashes is "Ramad" and Dust is "Turab" which also means earth, the soil, and "Turba" may also mean tomb or more exactly the grounds where someone is buried. Ramad and Turab is what Ramadi looks like today. Ramadi in the Anbar province. The hated Anbar, part of the "triangle". The ever so despised Anbar by both the Americans and the Iranians. The hatred was most evident today. The American Forces - wait, I take that back - they are not forces, they are cowards. The American cowards bombed Ramadi today. Many homes were demolished. A family of thirteen was buried under the rubbles. More than 26 civilians were killed, out of which 4 women and several children. Two infants, the youngest was 1 month old. Men rushed to the ruins trying to rescue whatever human form they can find. Bare hands, rugged, dust covering their faces and hair, digging and digging... Most had nothing but a shirt on. No vest, no sweater, no n

Norm, normality, "normalization" as in politics...all anti-vital poisoned honey.
Trust me rather to die of cold a lonely bird in the wide empty winter skies than renounce my "wings" for the blissful tepidity of an earth worm's vegetative life.
I'm completely normal. I've learned a long time ago to go my own way. I march to the drums in my head and sing to the tunes in my heart.
I was listening to Omar Bashir's Al Andalus, when I went to your uncensored blog... I just love the sound of the Oud and the music of Iraq, but the "flamenco Arabe" that O.B. plays is also very enjoyable.
By the way, I have a sticker on my car (a 1989 vintage ) that says "Who are you to say what's normal?"
Coincidences, as I said.
Interesting post.
There is a quote
*Normal is the pathology of the average*
I am not normal either !
Lots of love
Salaam dear
Coincidencies...

"im completely normal"
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
So, have you been able to strike the blance btween playing along and being yourself in your "real" life?
Also I dont want to meddle in your afffairs, but have you ever considered writing professionally?
I think that you would make a difference. There is a red tape that goes all the way through your social, political and subjective writings,which is connected to the core of the real problems our culture and civisation are facing.
Some very astute, intelligent, well written comments here...
A breath of fresh air in a stale blogosphere...
Thank you.
Writing professionally takes energy, time and money...
I am not sure, yet another book will make a difference.
I 've read tons of books, by tons of authors...Nice to keep as names and references. Have they really shaped this world into a better place? Am not sure.
Actually am not sure of anything anymore.
you completely normal? you could have fooled me...hahahahahahaha
