I want to talk about Sami Ben Gharbia....
as i've to say,,although we never met,but that man inspired,and keep inspiring me...he is a man who couldn't stand depression,and unjustice in his country,and implace of "Shutting up",and living his life (like the majority of us),he decided to stand up and speak up his mind,even if this will cost him his life,his work,and his beloved country Tunisia...
Sami Ben Gharbia lives now in the Netherlands as political refuge...but even there he didn't stop,talking or "Speaking Up" his mind...
When reading his Blog,,i see,and feel how a strong man he is...that man didn't leave his thoughts,ideas,brain,and destiney,to be played with by his dictator,illegal president Ben-Ali....but faced him,,with words...a single man facing ,all by himself a whole regime..and his only weapon is words,,and sarcasticly it scares them...
i've made a short clip a long time ago called "Life",,which represents how we live in the arab world nowadays,,,and how our dictators,and their regimes control us,our fates,and destiney like puppets...it's about a piece of string held from a tree,,and the current is moving it back and forth...the difference between many of us,and Sami Ben Gharbia,is that we are just like the piece of string,but Sami has graped this piece of string with both his hands and moved it his way...
So Thank You Sami Ben Gharbia...

To begin with...
Well...
To begin with,
I've been thinking of creating a blog,for almost 7 months now...am not sure why...But i guess i am always fascinated by the fact that every one should "Speak Up" his mind...
And now that i've created one...i feel so "HAPPY" !!!!
As am a very "Lazy" person,,when it comes to get the work done,,it takes me so MUCH time to think and plan...but am happy with the result...
I'll try to speak up my mind,and express myself to the full...and i wish,that anyone who reads this blog,feels that he wants to do the same...
Cause that is what i feel when reading blogs like "Fikra","SaudiJeans","Mona el-Tahawy Blog",and "Global Voices"....those blogs and more inspired me...so i hope i can inspire you...
