| Introduction | "I am what I am." I will tell you what I like because I believe it's what makes me "ME": more important than what I do, what I want or what I look like. I like listening to people's stories as they recount their hearty experiences through the life that we all share. I like the sound of external silence that is only interrupted by the voices in my mind as I sit at my desk writing the night away. I like fairy tales of flying horses, unicorns and dragons and I like watching the looks on children's faces as these stories are told. I like cheering when I watch a good movie, I clap my hands when I laugh and I laugh hard and loud. I like that. I like travelling; even if only with my mind and soul or along the pages of a book. I enjoy practicing the "art of living." I like talking to people face-to-face because I'm a big fan of facial expression, hand gestures and body-language. I like to share my feelings and speak out my ideas. I like communication without barriers; opening the heart so that the eyes truly see what is essential and not just what is apparent. |
| Interests | I'm a person with a million of interests ranging from religions, psychology, fantasy books up until martial arts and Shakespearean theater. I love to be heard! I crave attention to my intellect (am assuming I have one). I can talk about a movie for hours and about a book for days. |
| Favorite Movies | Finding Neverland. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Truman's Show. Fight Club. American History X. The Lord of the Rings. The Godfather. Shrek 2. Flight of Dragons. Proof. Gladiator. Interview with the Vampire. The Untouchables. Wag the Dog. Cinema Paradiso. Billy Elliot. Sphere. Pirates of the Caribbean... there's always more, am a big fan of the movies and i have a soft spot for anything psycho, vanguard, cynical, painfully realistic or amazingly fantastic... |
| Favorite Music | Al-Muallem (Sami Yusuf), most of Yusuf Islam's Inshad... also Orchestral movie soundtracks and New Age. |
| Favorite Books | J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Mario Puzo's The Godfather, J.K.Rowling's Harry Potter series, Anne Rice's The Vampire Chronicles and of course the ultimate children's classics The Little Prince for Antoine de Saint-Exupery and Peter Pan for J.M.Barry... Arabic: Al-Zeiny Barakat for Gamal al-Gheitany, Kalila wa Dimna and Alf Lila wa Lila... there's more but i won't tire you with the long list... |
Your bow is not broken but you've run out of arrows. How can you fake being a bard?
Wear a towel on my head, get a stick and pretend to play on the harp (currently the bow), as I shriek, screech while I scream my songs(maybe cough loud and hard from time to time) and hope that my hideous voice drowns the sound of the fake harp. People will probably think am stupid or mad, but at least I could very well pass for a bard (or a loser).
