It’s Getting Critical

9mm bullet and magazine

Yesterday evening I was doing my usual target practice with a 9mm Sig. I filled both magazines to full capacity and my gun started roaring non-stop. I paused to let the smoke clear then heard the instructor laugh and ask me, “Are you planning to go to Lebanon?”

I was puzzled, “Why?”

Instructor, “You don’t know what’s going on?”

Me, “No, what’s going on?”

Instructor, “A civil war between Hizballah and Sunnis, they’re fighting for control of Beirut now.”

I nodded and was thinking to myself, “Shit. Not again.” And stared at that single bullet sitting upright next to the magazine. I had unloaded and put my gun on safe while talking to the instructor and to study the target. On impulse I took a picture, to me it looked surreal.

Later that night I spoke to a Lebanese friend & colleague about the situation and one thing he said kept going over and over in my head, “Rashed, it’s getting critical. I’m worried this will spill over into other countries. You guys have had enough of this Sunni Shiite shit, man. What’s going to happen?”

I didn’t know what to say, “Inshallah things will work out, don’t worry I’m sure we can handle things well over here. Besides, we’re still in the middle of elections, the real deal will show when everyone starts yapping at each other.”

He’s right, the Middle East is quite unstable: Iran, Syria, Lebanon and Iraq. All of them are having religious/political issues. If it spills over (it already has anyway), then what?

Back to shooting I pumped at almost full automatic at the target, my arms ached. I observed my target when I was done, man it’s a mess. I lost my concentration.

I put my hands in my pockets, head down and walked out quietly to drive back home.

Mankind: Infected with Insanity

I knew it. I seriously knew that all of mankind had issues. Including me. I’m a Scientific American addict, not to mention a few other geek and nerd magazines; I discovered an interesting article. It talks about the possibility of microbes causing mental illnesses. WTF?!

Ok, go ahead ask your mothers this question, “Mom, were you sick when you were knocked up pregnant with me?” If she says, “Yes.” Then you’re screwed. No seriously, you-are-screwed-my-friend.

Outdoor BBQ

My uncle’s outdoor barbecue.

Government sure has proved the importance of illegal structures, segregation and other equally stupid topics. Dumbasses. Y’all need a life. Give us our oil money and we’ll let you demolish our homes with a huge grin on our faces!

So We’re Dogs Now?
