CURRENT MISSION

To build bridges, have fun and eat hummus.

ABOUT ME

Basically, I find every excuse I can to leave the US - work, research, study, romance or otherwise. Not that I'm not a loyal uhmerican - I can be, at least, at times - but I uphold religiously the famous words of Imam Shafi'i:

"Inni ra'aitu wuqoof il-ma'i yufsiduhu...in saaHa Taaba wa in lam yajri lam yaTibi"

(Indeed I have seen still water spoiled...when running it is sweet but when stagnant it is bitter)

PHILOSOPHY

Go with the flow.

There's more, but I guess you'll have to get to know me first.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was hit by a truck in Damascus once. Does that qualify?
