http://www.baghdadia.net The thoughts-or the lack of thereof-of an Iraqi Girl Tue, 01 Jun 2010 18:19:36 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en It’s been quite a while since last I’ve written anything. Not for the lack of things to discuss and ideas to delve into, but simply for the lack of interest. What good would it do me, if I were to sit and think about all of these things, but at ... http://www.baghdadia.net/?p=98 Over the course of the past year, I’ve been refusing to make comments of incidents that receive media attention on such levels as the shoe-tossing journalist. But since I’ve given expressing my opinion a shot at an Iraqi voice chat room, and was received with no less than a large ... http://www.baghdadia.net/?p=95 I'm not a big fan of television, or most forms of media beside the internet for that matter. And granted, even the time I spend online isn't exactly wasted on digging into CNN Online anymore. Because, frankly, what could possibly happen that is worth my time and attention? And could ... http://www.baghdadia.net/?p=94 Every now and then, I would follow current event issue with interest. Not too often, because sadly, our national affairs are in a pitiful state of chaos that is nothing if not disgruntling to follow up. Typically, people would argue and voices would be raised and words would turn sharper ... http://www.baghdadia.net/?p=91 So I’m in one of those absolutely ridiculous and absurdly undecided moods where I’d like to do a fuckton of things, none of which seems quite doable at the moment. That is, beside vegetating and writing a crappy post that represents the manifestation of those stirrings of life that are ... http://www.baghdadia.net/?p=90 Anybody that has moved at least once in their lifetime ended up realizing that moving, exciting as it may be at times, is the supreme form of legal self-inflicted torture ever invented by mankind. At least with my family, it is. So I moved from Portugal almost a year ago now. ... http://www.baghdadia.net/?p=89 Every time I turn on TV, pick a news paper or surf the web I find myself staring at one of three things; American primary elections, or in other words the Hillary-Obama show. The Lebanese crisis which is, to me, of no interest whatsoever. And finally, whatever fireworks take place ... http://www.baghdadia.net/?p=88 So it's been five years. Do I really want to open that can of worms… Let's see. People talk about it, and in their words there's a hue of sentiments from praise to resentment, all of which have already been chewed up and spit out so repeatedly over the years that ... http://www.baghdadia.net/?p=87 Every year, some people spend New Year evening celebrating, others planning. Some people spend it moping, mourning the days and years past and foretelling grimmer days and years to come. Some people spend it with indifference. Like every ordinary teenager, New Year evenings mean a large-scale celebrations to me. There's ... http://www.baghdadia.net/?p=86 I've compared life to art before. Not in the artistic sense, just in the sense that you're the one that gets to decide what comes next. Life is one big lump of clay, one blank sheet of paper.
