The trip was a breeze, and I’m too tired to even try to remember what the hell beside sheep, cotton candy and a funny head that I stared at. Oh, and a wonderful sunset that I couldn’t capture because “Ladies and Gentlemen, we’re approaching our destination, please fasten your seatbelts and turn off all digital […]

Diary of a disturbed mind VII: 2.30 am (Countdown-12:00)

I feel a strange flow of energy, which is…probably the only normal thing to happen when one’s mind is going at 250mph in various directions, some of which happen to go in circles and clash while at it. I feel a strange buzz, the kind of feeling you have when you stand at the edge […]

I don’t claim to be an artist, I do like to doodle and draw and that sort of thing but that doesn’t make an artist out of me. The thing is that like everybody that does that sort of thing, my brush always hesitates and my pencil always freezes and hovers above a clean sheet […]

I believe that you’ll make him proud
But all I can do is to wait and see
Then tell you “I told you so” aloud.
**Weigh your […]

Category: Random, Stupidity, Life, My diary | Leave a Comment
Well-well…
I spent yesterday packing despite being sick like a dog. That was pretty crappy for several reasons like running out of suitcases, not of clothes. Two boxes of cosmetic products is a dangerous amount. But oh well, it’s my stuff. Who’s counting?!
Later last night I was online on Paltalk, bantering my head off as […]

(Yes, I have decided to keep a diary here…for a while at least!)
I woke up 20 minutes ago after a lousy night’s sleep. I had the strangest dream ever.
I was back at home, in Baghdad. I had the feeling of a person well in control of her life, on top of things; the feeling a […]

I’ve written about a dozen posts between the last one published and this one. For some reason, I was never truly satisfied with anything enough to publish it. Actually, my dissatisfaction with everything has been frustrating lately, giving me great pains at all times.
My tolerance for people seems to have dropped drastically, for various […]
