~~The Tunisian Revolution ~~
Hello everyone,
My country has recently experienced a historic event. On the 14 th of January 2011 thousands of people went to the streets protesting against the corruption and tyranny of president, his family and police cruelthy that caused the death of at least 78 people during earlier protests.
A series of protests started after the imotation of a young fruit seller: Mohammed Bouazizi. Police forces tried to repress the protests by firing live bullets but that did not work out it contributed to the anger and rebellion of the people. It is said that snipers belonging to the ex president's mafia were present among the police forces and fired in specific places like the head, the heart, the neck... Our police force is not trained that well so I guess this theory is true. The police beats people ok! But they wouldn't kill them. They fire in the air, randomly perhaps but not directly at people. (that's the law)
Later that evening, the president fled the country.
After 23 years of dictatorship and injustice and fear we have won our freedom. The press and media, which were supressed , the internet which was incredibly censored (we didn't even have access to Youtube, vimeo, metacafe etc... and thousands of other websites) were freed!
People are talking about politics for the first time ever and opposition is finally allowed to be active. All political prisoners were freed and many exiled have returned to Tunisia.
In a couple of months WE THE PEOPLE OF TUNISIA will be able to choose our president, our government.
Of course, there are still some issues right now. The old party that was governing the country and which is famous for corruption still exists and many of its members are part of the current temporary government. Poeple are still protesting against that.
I personally don't mind the current government it's temporary and I think that not all those in it are bad people. We wait and see what they have to offer and if we don't like it then back to the streets we will return!

It is simply amazing how the American artist Mark Jenkins makes of the most familiar places fantastical! His imagination, wit and sense of humor takes us to the most amazing rides in the urban,boring everyday streets. (not streets only though)
He takes us to new places and new perspectives.

* A face tells much about the person, about all humanity. It is what makes us recognizable. The face with its most complex expressions tells us a lot about the way we feel: when we are angry or calm, sad or happy, when we are scared and when we are in love. There is everything in a face.

* A child is the most fragile of beings yet it shows more determination, more will and more thirst for freedom than the bloodsucking adults, the murderers. Behind the walls of occupation there is a child in everyone... heroes everywhere.

Gone with the clock.
-7917/8312 days we have been living.
What have we achieved? What projects did we really finish? What dreams are we living today? Time is passing by, the system is after us and we are passive, numb like nothing matters and nothing is of any importance. Wars,revolutions,deaths and births and we are static wasting more times, more days, more seconds...tick tack tick tack...
-In 3653 I want so many to happen, so many to be true and I want to feel that the last ten years of my life were not a waste of time.
I give up for frustration and for fear of never doing anything right. I want to be a better lover,to lose weight, eat healthier, do more activities with my Jimmy,read books, write books, make music, find a spiritual path, do yoga as it is supposed to be done, have kids,be organized, learn.,write on this blog on a regular basis... But what have I really done this year?
Another year have passed and I what have I done?
