Taking a Break

July 24th, 2008

Been a very hectic and stressful past couple of months and I feel like I’ve reached my limit and some time away is extremely necessary if I am to hang on to whatever sanity I have left.  Whether its problems at work, friends, life, obligations, responsibilities, the weather, and so on, its come to a point that I feel I will lose it.  So, I am leaving today to Syria where I will stay for one whole week in our place in the suburbs between Damascus and Homs.  No cars, no traffic, no work, no telephones, no problems… pure isolation.  Its the place anyone of the family goes to get away from it all.  All there is to do is relax, swim, tan, eat fresh fruits and vegetables (which we grow in our own land too), family gatherings.  The weather there now is just perfect, sunny with a cool breeze.  Ofcourse, me being the Tiesto fan that I am, I will be escaping this relaxation for one day and attending the Tiesto concert in Beirut on the 31st, already got the tickets and my friends are waiting for me.  I am leaving today at noon and will be back next Saturday, the 2nd of August.  And when I get back, I am expecting to have relaxed, vented, recharged, and ready for another epic of insanity.  And back to posting as much as I got you used to.  In the meantime, have a great two coming weekends, especially next week being a long weekend.  Cheers everyone!

NOTE: If you haven’t read my previous post, Negligence at Mubarak Hospital, I strongly recommend you do and check out the comments as Delicately Realistic debates the post with very interesting points of view.  I got a lot of positive feedback about the post.
