I Think You Have The Right To Write All You Want To WriteRight? Unfortunately this like so many websites based in America doesn't sign up to the ideas in the constitution about freedom of expression and freedom of thought, instead they use the site to watch any they think are a threat to their agenda....See More »
I Try to Be Productive EverydayEven on lazy Sundays I sit and draw, doodle, or I paint. It's a mind massage for me.
I Have Seen Beautiful ThingsA flower. A baby's smile. A sunrise mirrored in a sunset, same day! A mother's love. A father's wisdom and strength. A photograph. A tree. A poor child cuddle their new toy. There are beautiful things everywhere an honest heart cares to look!
I Am Mixed RaceI have already mentioned this. I am Lebanese, which means I'm Semite, non Jewish, but from the Levant lands of Philistia/Palestine, and different from my other Japhethite, Catalan and French racial identities. The mix is not a racial weakening like...See More »
I Am Fascinated By The Marquis De SadeI think the works of the Marquis are commentaries on what was happening in the society of the Ancien Regime just before the Révolution and are misconceived as something he advocated instead of reported in his way upon. The aristocracy had the...See More »
I Am Thankful For What I HaveI am a very fortunate person. I have a loving and supportive family. I have a good job, which I enjoy, and I am able to save a good part of my earnings each month. I don't go without, and I do try to give to charity (UNICEF) every payday, to try and...See More »
I Talk to MyselfSome say you're in good company when you talk to yourself, but I find it a useful tool, especially when you're trying to sort something out, and it helps you with logical progression as you reason with yourself and determine from your experience and...See More »
I Love LiteratureI love books, but I love literature too. Stories which become pacemakers for generations, and inspire other writers for generations, are to me precious and essential.
I Love to See Old Married Couples Hold HandsWhen I was little my family would walk to church and my grandparents always led us there, holding hands. Whenever I saw them in Beirut they would be close enough to hold hands. When my grandmother died and we were following her bier I stepped...See More »
I Love to CuddleWhen I was visiting my parents and my grandfather, I had lots of cuddles, especially from my grandfather. It really was mutual comfort, and loving. Sitting together in arms, quite often, I certainly loved it, and I'm certain he did too!
I Am Free SpiritedIf your spirit sores you are free, even if you are wearing chains. And we all wear the chains of some kind of servitude, even those born into money. They serve their fears too! I have a free spirit, I recognise I have my own life and I am...See More »
I Like to People WatchI have three dance classes to teach today at the dance centre, and it's an intriguing time for me. Usually I am self scrutinised but today I have to look at others as they dance. I also have to watch for signs of injury in people to ensure they are...See More »
I Love Watching a Fire In the FireplaceMy parents have a proper fireplace in their home, and it was special each evening that my father lit a couple of logs to keep the chill off as the evenings drew in at home earlier this week. It's mesmerising and a great help to look into a fire and...See More »
I'm Saving MoneyI have been investing my hard earned in bullion. The way the EC is going, with the Germans being so awkward in everything, the immigration problems, the lies and double dealing in the banks, when I have the extra monies I convert from currency into...See More »
I Think People Are StrangeYou can see the differences between Southerners and Parisians, very easily. Parisians are catching up with Londoners in being dour and too busy to be humans. I noticed the seven degrees Celsius difference in temperature too, coming back to Paris...See More »
I Am Proud of MyselfYou have to be if you can! I know they say self praise is no recommendation, but If you don't speak up for yourself there are plenty of people eager to pull you down!
I Hate Job InterviewsWhen you're a dancer, it's your dancing tells everything you want to tell about yourself! Interviews are intimidating!
I Like PoetryI like many poets, including Verlaine and Rimbaud, but I've yet to really get into the scene with new poets in Paris. It would be interesting, words have a lot of power.
I Am CreativeI dance, I write poems, I paint, I draw, I doodle, I make costumes, yes I sew, and I am always busy! My dance classes are mixed, men and women attend, and young girls too, in their own class, three classes on a Saturday. I can also muck about with...See More »
I Hate My PeriodThey are erratic, in many senses, and one in four can be excruciating (like my current one). It's not really hatred, because hating them is hating being a woman. It's the intensity of the pain I endure. I've heard it said, painful periods means...See More »
