CURRENT MISSION

i guess mission is too big a word... i'm trying to do stuff rather than going on wishful thinking mode

ABOUT ME

i m a sort of a loner but i still enjoy being around other humans once in a while as well as metting new people but for some reason it's mostly women I seem to be at ease around. maybe because...well let's leave cheap amateur psychology for later on, shall we?

I'm always busy trying to learn something. right now it s vynil scratching, boulder climbing... wa kan7awl ntkellam b darija maghribia wa bi ffoS7a

PHILOSOPHY

I was turning this in my head just today:

if it makes you feel good it's good
if it makes others feel good it's better
if it makes others make others feel good...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

let's play it silly...i saw a 8 year old genius pull out an awfully ugly bogey and ... i was a training to become a teacher at the time. nothing remarkable, right? the thing is that everybody must have known about his dietary preferences since nobody seemed to pay any attention to his feeding in the middle of a lesson. I couldn't bring myself to mention the ban on food in class. Anyway, i was the only person focusing on his gross feat!

Teach, Learn, Share

teach share: english, french, italian, flamenco, wing chun, panantukan...
learn: music, religion, culture, literature, languages,culinary traditions, influence of religions on cultures and viceversa, the qur'an, sacred books, agnosticism and atheism, arabic, plumbing, electric wiring, cubase, music production, can't think of anything else right now but i'm sure i left out about 10000000000000 things i want to learn.
