I can feel it now. I have avoided this for many, many years after my first unsuccessful attempt to integrate a new blog system for my blog.I feel the urge to move to WordPress.....and for no good reason, really. Yeah, it's more customizable, but that is pretty much the only reason.To be honest, the only reason I have not yet is because I am too damn busy (lazy) to go through and code everything

Well, this is by far the longest hiatus that I have taken from my blog since it's inception oh so many years ago, but today seemed like the right day as I am celebrating an event 18-years in the waiting and making.Today, I became an American citizen......and it's about bloody time.Of course, the first thing that happened to me soon after was that I left my wallet in a cab. Yeah....four hours

So the resolution passed.And now we wait for a full house vote. As expected Bush and Rice are shitting in their pants, Turkey is whining and pissed off, and I could not be happier.I don't know if this speaks to the sly smarminess or the sheer stupidity of our president, but he labels the event as: historic mass killings. Hello? That is what a genocide is.The logical part of me understand the

The Armenian Resolution So I have been following a series of articles about the House resolution calling for the recognition of the mass Armenian killings in Turkey at the turn of the century as a genocide.Any literate moron who reads about the history and see the pictures would know it was a genocide and not some by-product of the WWI, as the Turkish government claims. Mind you, their original

My apologies to Sara for taking so long to get this up. I have no excuse really. But before I get to the random facts...Things are hectic, but good. Although, I have put writing to the backburner right now, I am working on several projects that are keeping me busy.Proofing for Kensington is a tremendous help to my income and I like the work. It's easy for me. And I get paid essentially for

What in the hell is up with this weather???This is summer? It was like 58 yesterday and like 60 something today.And we are back to the 90s by Saturday.And people say there is no global warming.Pshaw, I say. Pshaw.In other news, there is no other news. I have nothing new to offer.

So I forced myself to stay up until 2 am this morning finishing the last Harry Potter book. I forced myself not to read at my usual speed so I could prolong the ending (re-read book 6 in two days) and so I could enjoy every moment.It was definitely sad. I enjoy books. I love losing myself in them. And I found myself on edge and loving it throughout this one.Of course, when the book first came out

I signed into Blogger and got to the post page and realized I don't really have anything to say. The summer is slow and hot. I can't seem to get myself out of the bedroom, but at least I have managed to start writing again. Finished three short stories in about four days and now I edit and rewrite like any good writer. If these sell to magazines (please....someone) then I can use that to get

Bush commutes Libby's prison sentence - CNN.comI don't get this. Good Ol' Dub is truly turning out to be the stupidest and worst president of the U.S. beyond even what I could imagine. Just when you think a politician could not sink any lower, he has found levels in a swamp bog that not even a mummified caveman could reach.He commuted Libby's sentence?!?!?!And is my use of multiple punctuation

So I have essentially become a recluse in my own apartment. I think I left my place in the last four days for a total of an hour, and I am being generous. I can't seem to motivate myself to get out and do anything.Even writing seems like such a daunting task for me. I did get one bite and sent in the additional requested pages, but I am sure that will take time. I have some really great ideas

And, no, I am not talking about the white fluffy things that could take off your head with one swipe.I refer to polar opposites. There I go trying to be witty again...Few people know that I enjoy watching sports of certain kinds. The assumption that I am in theatre from some reason precludes any additional interests when the fact is that I grew up a jock playing multiple sports and watched a

Ok, so I have everything set to do what I want it to do on the new site with the exception of two things:1) This odd lack of capitalization after the first post (which does not happen in Firefox).2) The opacity of my side menu which is affecting my content as well and should not be.Still trying to fix things....until then....back wo work I go.

Forgive some of the hiccups in the new design. Trying to work out all the kinks as best as I can before I can say it is completley done. But I can't test anything unless I upload it, so for a day or two you get some weird looking stuff.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck is an idiot and a dolt. I am watching her getting chewed up by Rosie and Joy.Now we are on a split-screen and Rosie and Blondie are going at it and now the latter dealt a low blow with a Trump attack. Watching moments like this makes quite clear why she decided not to "renew" her contract.I think it is quite telling when Rosie takes every opportunity to reach out and

A Slight Lull17 days later and I think the recent up swell of auditions is dying down a little. I have mixed feelings about it. Part of me is glad I don't have to wake up at 7 in the morning, and the other part needs to keep going and be seen.Since the last update I had only 2 days off, thankfully, and was auditioning like a mad man. My top was four in a day (which is nothing compared to the 6 or

I am SO thankful for my online jobs as I cannot imagine how I could this without them.So a recap of auditions (coz I am sure you LOVE reading about it):March 7 - I know I had an audition, but I can't remember for what.

Auditions Galore!I never thought auditions could be so exhausting. The waking up early (usually 7 am for a 10 am audition). The waiting all day (sometimes until 6 pm). Getting home, or trying to get on the sardine subway suring rush hour.Urgh...But it's good practice. I am finally getting to the point where I just don't care. I go there, wait, and by the time I get to audition I am just

Security Cameras Are FunSo my apartment building is monitored by security cameras. On our second day here, while setting up the living room TV, we realized that channel 19 on the TV was tuned into the lobby camera so we could see who was buzzing us or just to people watch. As we have come to learn quite quickly, random people always buzz apartments when they need to get in due to forgotten keys

Things MIGHT be Looking UpThere is a possibility that we might have a place by the end of this week. Nothing is for sure and I refuse to get my hopes up in light of the malarkey that happened last week. I also don't want to jinx anything by talking about the details - I'll do that after something happens for sure.This would be a VERY good thing if everything falls into place like I am hoping it

New York Finding a Place to LivePart 1: The AirportSo I figured why not try to document this not only for kicks, but also in case anyone I know ever tries to move as well, they will know what it is like.So the plane just pulled in and we are waiting for the cleaning and such and then we board.Checking in was fun as security is definitely up a notch. They have this odd chamber thing that blows

St-St-StudioSo I am attempting to weed through my DVR before I move (two more weeks..eeeeee). In the last three days I managed to catch up on BSG, LOST, and am now on Studio 60, which I just fall in love with more and more.But what I find so delicious is Aaron Sorkin airing Kristen Chenoweth's life all up in that show from the whole gay comment to the magazine thing (FHM...what WAS she thinking),

Go See this Movie NOW!!!I was SO worried after watching RENT and The Producers that this movie was going to be crap, but had faith since Condon's name was attached to it.So I saw the first showing this morning despite the thunderstorm and I LOVED IT! What was so abstract in the original, and worked well, was made so concrete in the movie, and worked even better. Beyonce surprised me and did

Overheard at Dinner Tonight"I had sex last night""Oooo, where did you meet him?""At a club.""You little slut! How old was he?""He was actually older than me.""Older than you? What kind of club did you go to? A mortuary?"Ok...so it was not so much overheard as I said it.Much laughter was to be had.

The View CatfightsThis is not about Star Jones. That blonde girl on the panel, the one so unmemorable that I don't even recall what her name is, is a whiny ass bitch.How the hell that ultra-right wing wimp made it on that show is beyond me. And why she would entertain getting into an argument with Joy Behar, who could consume her in one inhale, is beyond me.This post stems from watching them

Shirking WorkI find myself with nothing to do right now, so I am giving myself five minutes from not doing anything to do something and blog since I have been rather negligent about it lately.So the situation in Lebanon really pains me.

I witnessed the death of the American musical theatre last night in what was the worst Tony Awards ceremony I have ever seen.Flat.Bland.Boring.Uninspiring.Inspidly slow and lackluster performances.And Jersey Boys????? Really?????? This is all Jukebox Musicals need...Tony validation.It does say something, though, that most of the awards, went to Brits. Not even Americans can win their own

ReminiscenceI am awashed tonight with memories of the past and find myself thinking of a lot of people I have not seen, spoken to, or spent time with in a long time. And I feel guilt...a lot of it.And I hate it.The first not the latter part.This is what happens when I have nothing to do or watch on TV.

Feminism as Reverse PatriarchyIt strikes me...at this late hour in my insomniac binge....that reactions against the establishment, whether in the form of subcultures or sub-ideologies, often become as anarchistic, oppressive and closed off as what they are reacting to. For example, there are some feminists and those who think they know what feminism is who react so strongly against the

Student EssaysAs I find myself in the mire of essays, I reflect on some of the topics and ideas that my students create (the ones that aren't recycling ideas that is). Gay adoption...an interesting if not highly controversial topic because it is all CRAP! In a continuing series of illogical and innane rhetorical arguments I bring you the reasons why gays can't adopt:1) Gay parents are

I'm Sorry...You want WHAT?!?!?Ok, the recent immigration protests need to stop because frankly...it is all bullshit. This is going to sound very strange coming from an immigrant, but frankly I am insulted and appalled that these people have ANY nerve to protest against possible immigration policy changes for illegal immigrants.Let's start with the fact that you are in this country ILLEGALLY.

So....What Now?So B&B is over. It was a successful run and I had fun. It was nice to just be onstage and not have to think about the part. It took me back to doing what I started out which was straight out musical comedy. It was a nice change and it was fun playing around. HOWEVER, I will NOT miss the costume - the heat, the sweat, the smell, the accentuation of the overly large thighs.So

I was going to use today to try and catch up on some grading work, but I decided to throw myself into it last night while watching the Oscars with Tony so I could just chill out today.

Happy New Year Y'AllSome random thoughts and comments:1) New Year's Eve was great. I really did not want to go anywhere or do anything. I did end up going to the dinner I was invited to and had an amazing time being around real people with amazing souls and a true sense of humanity. It is refreshing to be around people who tell it like it is, don't bullshit, and know how to enjoy life.

Did not feel long at all and I thought they covered a lot with room to spare considering how short the book is.

My name is Fadi and I am a consumer fetishist.I own 11 pairs of jeans.I used to have one I wore for 6 years.I now have more shoes and flip-flops than I think I have ever had.I own belts. Lots of them. In 13 years I never wore a belt.What will happen when I lose all the

Oh, He Loves to Dance a Little Side Step President Bush today responded to accusations that his administration manipulated intelligence about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction to justify the war. Speaking at a Veterans Day event in Tobyhanna, Pennsylvania, Bush said, "it is deeply irresponsible to rewrite the history of how that war began." Earlier this week, senior White House officials told

Religion and MotherhoodI know, how random. First, the brief rant.The Hillsborough County School Board in response to the Muslim community wanting Eid recognized as a religious holiday and placed on the calendar decided to remove all school holidays from the calendar (I assume this also meant no time off). This, of course, angered all those little bible thumpers who at the meeting chastised

What a Way to Start the Week, Part DeuxMy morning did not start out well at well, and while I am very hesitant to write about my students or my job on this blog, I feel like I have no choice.I fear for the state of education and the policies that some colleges have started to adopt wherein the only qualification to gain entry is a check that clears the bank.I fear that college classrooms are

My Brain Has Leaked Out of My EarI have spent the last 12 hours grading three class set of papers, cutting my hair, cleaning out my closer, and going through and organizing a box of papers will bills and receipts that went back as far as 1999....My name is Fadi. I am a pack rat.

Envy, Anger or Regret?

Updating is turning into a nightmare for me. My days go something like this:1) Wake up at 8 a.m., get my ass in gear and head out to teach.2) Done by 5:30, 6:30 or 7 depending on the day of the week.3) Go to rehearsal where I often deal with the innane behaviors of people who think much too highly of themsevles. Why is it always the least talented who have the most to say and the largest

Do you need help finding them? I once lost my car in a Sears parking lot. Man,
