BLOG ON HOLD!... for now -'til after xmas

Sorry to all my millions of fans but this blog, as you'd have guessed, is on hold until I can get my hands on a Laptop (Xmas time folks)... waaay too erratic relying on net cafes with poor connections or poor photo editing etc to run a super successful blog as intended, hehe.

Until After Xmas 2005, see you then folks...

Back from Beirut... (BLOG ON HOLD UNTIL AFTER XMAS)

Righty...

Nearly two months later i've finally managed to find that head that is so easily falling off my shoulders now adays..

Soooo just back from a 2 day break at the 'Root' (Beirut for those unlucky enough not to know)... 2nd visit there and it's really beautiful. Got there in the 'noon last saturday and checked into the most god-awful hostel (what do you expect when you're only paying $5 a day!).. but it's round the corner from MCDONALDS, u see. Well I'd never of thought that i'd crave McDonalds but maybe there's some truth my craving for a MCFREEDOM burger.... or maybe not.

Watched Real Madrid VS Barcelona in the evening, the biggest match in Derby football. YES IT IS, before you say something stupid like 'oh no it's Celtic - Rangers'. Met a long time internet buddy (6 years!) for the game; who embarrassed me by reminding me of how i used to write long footballing rants as only a 15 year old would do at the time. hmmmmm. Celebrated our huge crushing defeat of Real sucking Madrid AT THEIR HOME GROUND by sitting along the Corniche by night, listening to the waves crash while toking on a sweet spliff (it's been months, and no it wasn't mine!).

Back to University 2moro... Finished levels 4 and 5 now and only have 3 more to go! Finally managed to convince that silly arabic department at Leeds university is waaaaay better than what they're studying at Fez, hence they should accept this as a year abroad - which they did.
