Going home (Change the Channel)

This is for the Change the Channel initiative by Tarek Amr

I mainly live in Cairo for Studying in Winter or working in Summer with occasional visits to my family at Mansoura. Mansoura is one of the quietest places you can live in.

Walking by the Nile in Mansoura is one of the best experiences you can have :)

Here are some photos I took from my usual walking.

I discovered that

Life is a journey, not a destination.

The Brave One - 2007

I fell in love with this quote from "The Brave One" movie, this quote is by Judie Foster (Damn that short hair in that movie was not romantic at all, but was scary enough as a vigilante.

New York, the safest big city in the world. But it is horrible to fear the place you once loved and to see a street corner you knew so well and be afraid of its shadow. To see familiar steps, be unable to climb them. I never understood how people lived with fear. Women afraid to walk home alone people afraid of white powder in their mailbox darkness and night. People afraid of people. I always believed that fear belonged to other people. Weaker people. It never touched me. And then it did and when it touches you, you know that it's been there all along waiting beneath the surfaces of everything you loved. And your skin crawls and your heart sickens and you look at the person you once were walking down that street and you wonder, will you?
Will you ever be her again?

I need someone close to me...

Tagged to Wish

Dear Rasha tagged me, and I really thank her for that since it has been a long time since I wrote something. Being active more via microblogging tools, basically Jaiku, twitter, and facebook status.

The tag is about what I wish for, when I got the tag I kept thinking for a while then this is what I came to:

1. Finishing my Engineering Academic life, I won't ever study in anything related to Engineering again. (hopefully this is my year)

2. Upgrading my gadgets to a fine level (hi-tech digital camera, laptop, mobile, etc).

3. After upgrading my gadgets, being involved in Citizen Journalism (hopeully after decreasing the mobile internet prices, it will happen as a first step with the beginning of 2009)

4. Being a specialist at my work.

5. Mastering the electric guitar, or even the keyboard.

6. Travelling around the world until I say enough.

7. Treating my temper issues, especially when trying to help someone.

8. Making a huge library, which will be mainly about History, Politics, and of course, Computers. Along with reading all of the contents.

9. Finding Mrs. Right and having the romantic living happily ever-after.

10. Forcing myself to go to a gym or something, this academic life destroyed my body.
