Gloomy

So I'm still at Lafayette, just lounging for the day. Should be going back to New York in the next couple'ours. It's gloomy out, and seems like a typical Sunday. Can't wait to get all my work done in the next two days and then get out to Myrtle Beach!

I'm hearing Armin Van Buuren is going to be in Canada soon (or is playing out now), and that's pretty crazy...how he's been on the roll for a number of years now, and may be getting the djlist.com's voted number 1 position next year.

I've been thinking about getting monitor speakers for a while now, but when I heard Serdar's solo today (a small project he's working on), I went insane! Those monitors will definately be on the 'need to purchase' list. And next semester, deadline December 2007, we're going to try to come up with a track... from scratch. Good times.

For now, I'm going to kick back for the next 2 hours, welcome Mumojay back to Lafayette and then bounce.

Carpe Diem.

But it seems like this country is chasing grandeur that is alien to her history and at odds with what she needs today. Her history and her needs; what do these mean? For the purpose of this post, I am pointing to Tanzania’s historical pursuit to be an independent nation-state, free of international dues and reliance on help. I am also referring to her current state of affairs, mainly consisting of an inefficient system of education coupled with an unbalanced system of trade. There are a few example...

Tanzania is not Tasmania

Dear friends: Please let's stop refering to Tanzania as Tasmania. Here is why. Tanzania is located on the coast of East Africa, below Kenya. It is not origin of the the cartoon character from your childhood. Tasmania is an island which is part of Australia. The animal known to exist only on Tasmania is the Tasmanian Devil. Once again, you will see this is not the cartoon character you remember from your childhood. Let's summarize: Tanzania is not Tasmania.

Thoughts about Egypt

The city I was just in about 6 months ago - which owns more than a million years of human history - is now hearing a desperate, angry, and fearless roar of reform from its people, whose voice is reverberating across several Arabic-speaking countries. Egypt is an extremely valuable player on the global playing field. It's ancestors are known to have built one of the first far-reaching ordered civilizations the world has known. Medieval Egypt significantly advanced scholarship in the sciences and philosophy. In contemporary times, it has been looked at as a model of modernization amongst Arab states. Even more recently, Egypt has provided strong support in brokering peace in the Middle East, and negotiating as well as facilitating the transfer of resources from and to the Western world. The people of Egypt, therefore, have witnessed many, many changes in leadership. Moreover, they have experienced diversity in the most deepest historical aspect of the word. Surely, a people with s...
