hello again
sorry i haven't been updating you, blog, that everyone ignores.

i'm sorry, my other blog is older and needs more attention.

also evil psycho mubarak turned off the internet, we're trying to overthrow him, and he doesn't like that very much.

twitter has also been taking up some of my time now, apparently it's a much more efficient way to spread information (yes, yes there are grandparents more tech savvy than me, i know)

..i'm so mad at the pseudo religious people who are telling the revolutionaries 'حرام عليكم' -do you want us to line up for food like in palestine? (that was a direct quote from someone)

yeah good luck explaining to GOD why you value money so much you support a dictator and a zionist genocidal regime

hmph

but i'm so happy about tahrir :) i believe in THAT egypt, and all those grumpy businessy farts can leave the country or sit around and wait for their day in court as far as i'm concerned-- i'm not arguing with them anymore

i'm just going to hug the images in my head of people taking care of each other, strangers being family, streets being our streets, our country being our home

i know we're going to be okay, we already changed, now it's just crossing the Ts and dotting the Is

i'm too moved and inspired and happy to worry about a few meaningless arguments that mean nothing under the magnitude of whats happening here

in the context of this pure love explosion

this is the best day-- ever :)

Sorry-- I can't avoid Politics today


CALL FOR NATIONWIDE STRIKE IN EGYPT TOMORROW
Nobody go to work or to school or to university-- let's bring this country to a standstill until those recently arrested (and all political prisoners) are freed, until demands are finally met (or at least HEARD)

Forces waited until the cover of night to start attacking protesters with water cannons, and huge numbers have shepherded large groups of activists out of Tahrir.
Other protesters are choking in a cloud of tear gas after several cannisters rained down on them.
Many suffering from asphyxiation.
Large number of arrests, even of people in side roads

They think that they can swoop everybody up in the middle of the night and make this go away.

STRIKE TOMORROW or even better TAKE THEIR PLACE IN THE STREETS

Let's show them WE AREN'T GOING AWAY UNTIL THIS REGIME DOES

some unnecessary clarifications
i think you have to be a black southern woman well into her fifties to qualify as someone who can call me " suga' "

furthermore, i can remain " chill " whilst engaging in the process of connecting words together in a grammatically correct and occasionally clever manner-- speech does not stress me out

and for your information, the only thing i find inhibiting is bad company so i promise you, honestly--this is what i'm like when i'm sober

highlight of the week=

cuba libre and reeeally salty 'marketing ploy' popcorn.

HA your saltiness can't force me to buy more beverages-- i'll drink more than i can afford because i'm completely wasted like any other self respecting lush :)

happily ever after

my baba was telling me about his morning exploring old mosques in the mountains--
and about this one sufi poet who was known for liking to be alone all the time.
he especially liked to be alone in this particular mosque, that had meditation rooms for people with his sort of inclination.

the rocks crumbled apart after all these years and now the only way to see the mosque where the poet lived is to stare at it looming over you -- baba walked all around what was left of the mountain, there was no way at all to get to it

i was looking at pictures of the strange mosque, wondering why nobody was trying to build steps to it, when baba said to me-- 'i suppose he wanted in death what he wanted when he was alive'

'for everybody to leave him alone?'

'and so they did'

the end :)
