Sculpturing (0-11) part 2

There's a saying that we have a selective memory that is leads us to idolize some people if we felt really good about them and that we tend to only remember the worst of flashbacks with people we despise. I think it's a fact for me. Spoiler alert: this part is too emotional and comedy might get too dark for people who worn't traumatized as kids (yes it starts now). it's funny that I'm dedicating an entry for only 3 years of my childhood, most people would jump their whole childhood in one entry or else the audience will stop reading out of sheer boredom (unless the audience constructed of bored parents seeking to understand their children) however I provide you here with a Fucken Jumanji adventure! and considering that fact that you're all quarantined and bored, I'm doing a favor to society. This time I won't be the narrator, someone else will be.. a 70 year old Libyan man with white hair and Asian features (the Irony that I grew up to have As...

Where it all began (0-11) Part one

Somewhere on this planet, I was born on a winter day in January. Most of people hear stories from their parents or family members about how they weighed too much as newborns or how their actual "birthday" was, I never have, never well I guess. All I know, it was the fifth of January. A date. and somehow I grew up to love birthdays so much that I would celebrate my birthday enthusiastically every single year, I mean my birthdays are HOLY! My dad never missed any of my birthdays, actually he made it a wholesome celebration that never failed to impress me more every year, I remember when everyone used to gather and neighbors, distant family members and all the faces that I can't distinct now as memories are fading too fast. All I can remember for sure is that my birthday was Holy, and so I make it still. But however my parents never told me stories about how I came to this planet.. no details what so ever! Honestly I never cared less to ask too but they NEVER mentioned a...

"بنات الناس" شكل آخر من أشكال العنصرية الموروثة في ليبيا

لم أتخلص حتى الآن من رهبة العبارة الأولى. لطالما أحببت الكتابة، لكن دائمًا ما واجهت مشكلة في التعبير بالفصحى، سواءًا لثقل بعض العبارات عند نقلها للفصحى أو قصورها التام عن نقل المعنى. حتى قرأت أول كتاب موسوم ببعض بالعاميَة المصرية. حينها عرفت أن أدب هذا العصر يحتوي الإختلاف ويتقبل العامية في صفحاته بعيدًا عن الأصالة المزعومة والتقيد بالمصطلحات الفصيحة أو الصور البلاغية البالية. في المختصر انصَبّ الاهتمام بالمحتوى وجمال التصوير كيفما كانت الكلمات المصاغة  لتصويره .   لكن للأسف، لم يصل مجتمعنا الليبي لهذه المرحلة من التَّقبُّل . نختلف، ونتفق على العنصرية يدعوا "أبناء الناس" البورجوازيون كل ما يختلف عن مفهومهم للأصالة ب"شلافطي" ويدعوا "أبناء الناس" من الطبقة الكادحة كل من يتفوق عليهم طبقيًا ب"ابن تاتاناكي" ورغم اختلاف الطرفين والشد والقذف بينهم إلا أنهم يتفقون في استخدامهم لمصطلح "بنات الناس". قد يختلف تعريف المفهوم بين الطرفين ولكنهم يتفقون على إقصاء وتجاهل كل من لا تنصاع لهذا المفهوم غير عابئين بالتأثير المادي أو المعنوي ...

A search of a Home in Tunisia, 3 ridiculous rules you have to abide as an Arab foreigner when sexism is the base constitution of your house contract

- No males allowed: If you want to live in a beautiful apartment In Tunisia, then it’s a no man’s land!   Almost all landlords state this as the main rule for female residents as first as you show up to check the apartment, whether you are renting the place for a short or long period, your residence there is depending   solely on this rule. No more cozy dinners with your boyfriend, no more hosting poker nights for the group and you can certainly throw away your guest utensils if all your friends were actually males as in my case, you’ll save more space in the kitchen. - You shall never be home late: A proper Cinderella should never pass midnight as the time to return home or else you’ll catch the stinky reputation and you shall never ever get your prince charming!   As ridiculous as it seems but it’s a regular thing for landlords to ask their female residents to maintain a certain timetable for leaving the house and returning and commit to i...

A Puzzle 1

Things are starting to fit in their place like a puzzle. it's really mysterious. how even though this universe and our lives are completely random yet completely organized. it's really fascinating for a person who utterly believes in logic. The basic common sense tells us that an object can only be in one place at a certain time, i mean in simple words, i can't be sitting here writing and drinking coffee somewhere else at the same time. that's how the basic law system goes, a person can't commit a crime and have an alibi. but that's how science makes life more interesting. on the other hand, a basic law of quantum physics indicates that an electron's position can only be identified as a field of probabilities. in simple words again. i can be anywhere in my house now at this instant. i can be washing the dishes or standing by the balcony! so this is our world. fascinating. the random horrible events organized in a way where the final result can lead to you...
