The Iraqi Elections 2010 are today and tomorrow and lets just say I am fortunate enough to be able to vote here in San Diego. 

Perhaps i should attribute my fortunate to the recent influx of Iraqi immigrants to the United States and partially to the renewed relationship between Iraq and the U.S.  

Bluefied Finger.  Checked.

I have to say the decision to vote for someone is more difficult when in fact that person will never impact my life in any way.   

With all that’s going on over there, i just hope the time i put in choosing that candidate will be beneficial for them.

Peace in the Middle East!

There’s nothing better to sweeten up the process of writing a scholarship than having a cup of a nescafe with milk.

As a result, we are lucky to have elections here available to us. 

Now most of us still feel obligated to vote for the diverse regions we came from within Iraq.  Therefore i feel the pressure coming  half way across the world to choose an “unknown” party to lead my people back home.

Of course she lives there but how often do you know someday that close to you is RIGHT THERE!

I am really glad she is enjoying her time (by the way they got 2 weeks off from school) and i feel it through all the FB updates and video uploads. 

Here is a clip from the streets:  Dancing on the Street

I have to put this on my must list. 

She messaged me today saying she is attending a curling game because it’s the only one she can afford.  I figured it would be difficult to get seats at the other events but i didnt think it would be sooo expensive.

Anyways so i replied saying when did sweeping (aka curling) become a sport? 

I know.  Terrible joke but i am laughing.
