Reflection of Intermittent Thoughts
Stetting alone and retreating unsociably inside myself, generating words gathered in lines, use my hand to produce dots on my screen … maybe aiming to send a message in code for someone who is in fact somewhere else, someone I know nothing about and might never meet. While my message is traveling for days maybe weeks through time and space … sometimes it’s understood other times not, I don’t know who may read it … it feels like a one-way process missing all kinds of basic communication… there is a potential of failure in putting across what I want to say and how I feel; so if I was writing for people indeed I’d relinquish writing long time ago, but in fact I do write out to myself matching my style, my mood & my needs, although It’s not a typical diary whereas you can’t find a very detailed personal post here, I don’t know, it’s against my nature, but maybe one day I would set and write something very detailed here, till then you shouldn’t expect it, occasionally next Friday 19th of May it will be a whole year of blogging, a complete year!.
along this one year journey I met many bloggers I prefer the term “Next Door Bloggers”, coz I feel it as houses and doors … and behind each door i would find stories and thoughts, i enter it with one knock on my “Go” button or URL linked to my page, at every door step I feel different impression, a certain thought related to that owner of this place, and a special spot I prefer there, a certain post or conversation!.

I’m not sure whether it was a total waste of my time on meaninglessness … spending hours on such page, I’m not sure if it really worth my time … let me say it’s mercurial and let it go at that!.

    such a lovely post ya tota,
    I loved the metaphore of the next door bloggers.
    However, I feel that there is something bothering you, I hope I am wrong.
    Happy blogging year

    Blogging can suck up a lot of your time, but also I agree that it is one of the best ways to get a viewpoint of other people's lives.

    Thank you .. wonderer, Loulou, Alina, Rain ...

    Joey
    You are welcomed

    Safyia … that’s true … but although it connects u with ppl & their minds from one side, it disconnects u from practical vivid life from the other side. I feel it like two different extremes; although both of them are supposed to be a sociably related process to an extent.

    Stronger Blogging

    We all know that some bloggers were detained and so some of other bloggers are much worried about that. We don't know for sure what is going to happen. El3en Elsehrya suggested in a post entitled The Test that the only protection bloggers may have is gaining more strength. I believe that one of the means to gain strength is to be more popular especially among those who are not activists. So, I decided to make a list containing all blogs that I know and which are concerned with the political and societal scene in Egypt with not so much posts about the author's self. This way, I can link to it from any instant messaging programme and from any newsgroup I use. The list doesn't reflect my own view it is just a list of those blogs concerned with the current scene in Egypt. It doesn't matter who goes public, what counts is that we must make blogging more popular. The list is still limited.

    I am asking all of you to email me any links of blogs that meet the criteria I mentioned above so I up-date the list every time I receive links. You will find my email in my profile Boring Lips. I am also asking you to link to this post even from your own blogs (i.e. sidebar). Send the link to as many people as you can. This way blogging will become stronger as more people will be aware of it.

    Security by hiding has been proven to be the least successful method. Our only protection is to be popular so that we are protected by people's awareness. Also, this way will spread all of our ideas among a much wider audience.

    نعرف أن بعض المدونين قد تم إعتقالهم و هذا يقلق البعض. إحنا ما نعرفش إيه إللى هيحصل على وجه التحديد. العين السحرية اقترح فى مدونة إسمها الإمتحانThe Test إن الحماية الوحيدة للمدونين إنهم يصبحوا أكثر قوة. أعتقد أن وسيلة من الوسائل هى إن ناس أكثر من النشطاء و غيرهم يعرفوا و يهتموا بالمدونات. عشان كده عملت قائمة بأسماء المدونات اللى بتكلم عن الحالة السياسية و الإجتماعية فى مصر و لا تضم الكثير عن حياة صاحبها/صاحبتها الشخصية اللى أنا عرفها. كده أقدر اربطها من أى مكان...مواقع تانية أو أدي الرابط لكل اللى أعرفه. القائمة لا تعبر عن المدونات التى أحب أطالعها و لكنها تتضمن على المدونات المهتمة بالموضوع مع إختلاف أرائها.

    لأو ممكن تبعتلى أى روابط لمدونات مشابهة ده هيساعد كثير. الإيميل بتاعى فى البروفيل. و ياريت تربط للقائمة من البلوج أو من أى موقع تانى. ممكن كمان تستخدم الم س ن عشان ناس أكثر تعرف عن البلوجز. بالطريقة دى ناس أكثر هتعرف إحنا بنقول إيه.

    I agree with Wonderer that something is bothering Tota. May be she wish she never generate these lines or send her messages in the air but for me writing is a kind of freedom I wanted to taste in every way that could reach my hand. Freedom that I begin to feel its reasonability now and which tie me up more now than set me free.

    Can we live without a bothered mind, would life become a real one without tasting this ‎flavor, then switch again to our normal state, so feel more alive?‎

    Why u don’t feel that freedom now, coz it’s not private & secure?‎

    Welcome back btw Rami :)‎
