Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I am first and foremost an artist (or hope to reach that high level of humanity) I am a musician a performer and a writer, unfortunately I can't draw. I am a social, environmental and political activist. I do not follow rules.
ABOUT ME
A very simple person with a busy life, a psychology graduate, musician, teacher, use to run a pub (and will be back to this business soon)... Greenpeacer (at least use to be)and always an activist, most Lebanese would laugh on this notion but hell yes I am one... I DO BOYCOTT Corporate (i.e. Burge King, KFC, Duncinâ Donuts...etc), I Boycott Funders of Israel (but do not hate the Jews)... I do not use straws or nylon bags... if u laugh on any of those then we might have a problem there :)Other than that.. Open minded above and over limits, but total Respect is a law for me. Honest, & hate hypocrisy, can't stand dumbness. I am not so humble but I don't think I'm god (I don't believe there is a god anyway) respect all religions & don't argue with one's own belief. Performing live on stage is my biggest pleasure even more than sex, and holding on to the only truth, we are born alone and will die alone, so in the process why be negative, I live life to the full and always know that if you can't be positive, you're better off dead.
**UPDATE February 2014
When I first joined CS I had this as my Education Description:
"I hold a Masters Degree in Psychology, hopping to have the time for a PhD sometime soon." Now I am so excited as the "sometime soon" has finally come, currently re-levelling my masters so I can start my PhD within a year hopefully.
PHILOSOPHY
I do not believe in Heaven nor Hell nor a father figure mythical god who watches over us. I believe in Humanity and believe humans are it's worse enemy. I believe in Altruism, reality and Nature. We are here to enjoy life to the full without harming anyone, that is why we developed a brain. Pleasure is the ultimate reason for a human life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I have always enjoyed performing, the energy back and forth between the crowd and the band in a show is the ultimate pleasure.
Being on stage in front of a British crowd was probably one of the most amazing moments in my life...
Teach, Learn, Share
Living in a country that has been under constant war for over 3 decades, I think I can be called a survival, that can come in handy, but I need to learn a lot from everyone else.
