Antoine ya tizi I am the only one who likes you enough to check your blog on a daily basis (no need to reply and say that I am the only one who has enough time/does not have a life to check out your blog on a daily basis)... Bas inno I must tell you that I can't open any of the things you are posting, they are forbidden sites! But what the hell I will comment anyway, since I have nothing better to do.

Actually I tried to make my own blog but since I am "technologically challenged" I failed miserably. I actually wanted to have a blog to counter yours, a sort of "Anti-Antoine No to Boredom Movement", I called it "Great Expectations" but it failed to launch; Great Expectations my ass. So since I failed to meet you in battle, I will now try to destroy you from inside (capitalism carries the seeds of its own destruction and what not...). I will be using your blog (that nobody checks) to spread dangerous ideas about happiness and the end of the world as we know it (REM song). I will also use it to document the month of June in Riyadh KSA. All that ofcourse because I have nothing better to do.

Thursday: I finished work at 14:00 and head straight to Dammam (East of Saudi Arabia / 400 Km drive in the middle of the desert). My dad is in Dammam. He just came back from Beirut. Abi (me dad) always has a supply of Black Label (capitals are due to the Holly nature of the drink) and it's worth driving the distance to see him and have a drink.

Thursday night: went fishing. Yes Dammam is on the sea, on the Arab Gulf (if you are a Muslim Sunni) or the Persian Gulf (if you are a Muslim Shi3a and like Iran). Stayed on the beach till 3 in the morning. It was a nice weather, not too humid, and there was a nice breeze. I caught a crab with my fishing line but he bit me and managed to return to the water. I am still trying to catch the shark that eats all my fish but again I failed. I dread the day when I catch this shark; I will have no reason for fishing then.

Friday: Woke up at 13:30. started drinking at 14:00. Prepared lunch with me dad and a friend of his who is very skeptical about Islam and feels that he has been tricked into believing in God (a late discovery, he's 62). A funny man.

By 17:00 I was happily intoxicated with Black Label. The food was good. Barbecue.

I left Dammam at 20:30 and drove back to Ruyadh. I listened to the same Fayrouz tape for 4 hours. I wasn't bored, just tired.

Always look on the bright side of life... taram taram taram taram

Leik Antoine, why are you giving lessons in anatomy? Where does this urge come from? Have you seen Gangs of New York lately or is it a mere scientific interest?

To Fadi Chaker: Please spare us from your stories about sharks and the end of the world.

chaker, u scare me when u quote REM songs—very unchaker-like.
concerning your shark fishing, have you seen "life aquatic with steve zissou"? that film is awesome and i think you'll strangely identify with zissou...
btw, why do u guys call rooj antoine?
rooj, this was to make my presence marked. i'll keep checkin'.

fadi chaker, i think you should start listening to the voice of reason and religion here above. i suggest that you also reveal your real name and not your artistic name so he can track you down and blow himself up.
