what I did

Howdy ppl.

What have I done this weekend? Quite a bit actually. Early Saturday my family went to the Wembley Conference hall to vote for the Iraqi elections. Sweet. Quite strange voting for two national elections in the space of 4years! :)

Now, what did I do. Today I did what would sum me up quite nicely. I went shopping in Watford on my Own. Went mainly to buy Black & White pictures to hang on my empty white walls. Knew exactly the place I wanted and indeed purchased two 40cmx40cm prints of 'The Rat-Pack' and a Classic picture of Audrey Hepburn. Jesus - she was absolutely stunning. Perfect example of Woman. If you're not sure who I'm talking about - she easily blows away the sex-driven women of today.

Had to wait for my selected pictures to be framed - so I went and sat in Starbucks in the Harlequin Centre. On my own again. Notice how happy and able I am at being able to sit in my own company for a while. Its something I'm quite proud of. Watching people of all kinds walk by - reading them in their everyday lives.

Today was the day that Iraq democratically voted a new Government. Amazing. My Dad said that over 75% of people there turned out despite the threats of suicide bombers in the streets of Baghdad. Would you have done? Seriously think about it.

Thank-you America. As an Iraqi, I cannot emphasise enough the tremendous loss the Families in the USA are feeling for the death of their Loved-ones.

God bless you.

They haven't done everything right - I hope that things soon sort themselves out. Even though the USA may want the oil and/or the contracts to rebuild Iraq, let them take it. As long as we can have our freedom - our vote.

To imagine the people walking past Starbucks dont often think about voting, and seriously take it for granted. The freedom they enjoy - all a result of even further losses in the Second World War.

Wow - deep Blog people, sorry. Needs to be said. People have a distinct lack of appreciation for History. I hated History at School - but today in Iraq - we're making it.
