A man tries to calm down an Egyptian army captain atop an armored personnel carrier, who fired live rounds into the air to disperse anti-government demonstrators, who charged to clash with pro-government protesters in Tahrir square, in Cairo, Egypt, Wednesday, Feb. 2, 2011. Several thousand supporters of President Hosni Mubarak clashed with anti-government protesters as Egypt's upheaval took a dangerous new turn.

slice of life

i was driving today and return of the mack came up on my ipod ... must have downloaded a best of the 90s album or something ... because i know i didn't download the album ... anyway ... that song takes me back ... a lot of memories associated with that song ... not all good ones ... there was a kid on our bus who used to sing it ... and the funniest thing was he had no idea what the lyrics were ... so he would sing it in gibberish ... and not like a joke ... he really thought he was singing it ... anyway ... so i kind of went on a little trip while driving ... like a trip within a trip ... get it ... anyway yeah i started remembering all sorts of things as i drove ... but yeah that kid on the bus ... i guess that was like ten years ago or so ... who knew ten years later i'd be in jeddah thinking back on those days ... and the world keeps spinning ...
i took a bunch of pictures of my apartment ... i'm not going to post all of them at once ... they're not that many ... but whatever ... i'll post one a day or something ... here's the first one ... it might not look like much but i think it's very artsy ...
