It seems that the best
stimulation for a Lebanese mind is none but war. We thrive at the mention of a
weapon and soar to the sound of a bullet.
I am not totally basing this
article on a random opinion; I actually have thousands upon thousands of FB
timelines to back me up.
I hadn’t seen that many creative
statuses in so long! It is as if everyone had a bunch of fabulous ideas and was
just waiting for a relative event to publish them!
It saddens me that almost all our
movies, all our independent music and book productions are war related. It is
true that art forms are highly dependent on one’s reality, but our reality is
much more than a few stray bullets and burnt tires every now and then!
Why don’t you get creative about,
say, the beach resorts that are robbing you blind for instance?? How come you
are not inspired by everyday events and simple day to day struggles? I haven’t
seen a personal joke in a status in like forever, and rarely do you feel up to posting
comic situations you went through or a new info you came upon. Why is that?? Are
these sorts of statuses irrelevant, while the fact that we have no
electricity is? Well news to you, everything is relevant and is worthy of a
head scratch.
Some of you will criticize me on
the basis that I rarely ever update my own status, but I have my excuse right
under the arm: I write a blog! If I have something to say, then I say it here
and elaborate on it, no better even, I dwell on it.
Alright, I have said my share, but
since I am at it, go Italy and go Spain statuses also annoy the hell out of me.
That said, it actually was a nice win for Spain tonight.
