Mom, I'm on TV!

Pierre Gemayel was part of a new generation of Lebanese politicians who wanted their country, the jewel of the Middle East to develop free from any foreign influence, in a country where only Lebanese had a say in the affairs of the country, like Rafik Hariri, George Hawi, Samir Kassir and Gibran Tueni. Those responsibles for this murder are only interested in keeping Lebanon unstable and on the verge of another civil war. On the last civil war, Syria benefited from Lebanon's divisions..

After I posted my message, a guy named James Fletcher, from the BBC called me, to see if I could participate on a chat with some experts on the Middle East about the crisis, ask my questions and express my point of view. Man, I felt like I was at the House of Commons! There was an expert from a think-tank, a member of the European Parliament (yes, European and British, hehehe), a scholar from Oxford and a journalist that passed lots of his life in the Middle East, plus a guy from SIngapore, a lady from India, an Australian and a Belgian on the phone, like me. With all those british-like accents flowing into our conversation, I felt like the Duke of Pork, hehehe :-) It was quite an experience; even though I was NOT on TV, I was .. that was weird, airing my ideas on TV without actually being on camera. Too bad I couldn't watch it!

Violante! :-)
And Paola... oh my G"d! What a beautiful and smart girl! Norka is definitely raising her very well, making her an independent and mature girl, yet still a young and playful one. She is very talented, and she seems to be quite good at catching foreign languages (something that she must have inherited from me, because neither Angelo nor Norka speak another language fluently) because I realised that she knows quite a few Britney Spears' (I still don't understand how Norka lets her daughter listen to such an untalented bitch..) and songs, and also some others from Justin Timberlake, the BSB and the mexican group RBD. You gotta see her on the Karaoke!
Since there were so many thing to talk, we ran out of time and we didn't finish our update, so we decided to continue our meetings when I return to Barquisimeto for the Holidays and hopefully I'll give Norka the letter from Manena. I just hope she can get it before Manena sees her, because she's going to Barquisimeto for the holidays also, hehehe. Oh, Violante? That's an internal joke. When Manena and I started to work as research assistant (myself) and lab assistant (Manena), we used to talk openly about sex; we had never considered it a taboo and alas, we were in the lab all together, but Norka always refused to even make a comment, she always said we were dirty and obscene, like Violante Cabrales De Albuquerque used to criticize Xica Da Silva and when alone, almost masturbate while thinking of Xica's husband and the Enquirer, with the difference that Norka was having sex like a rabbit with Angelo (which eventually produced Paola Goretti) and we thought she was chaste as a virgin! Manena and I were so cheated!

Meteoro was my cab driver!
Apart from that, I visited my dad but I actually spoke to him for less than an hour because he was leaving for a meeting since now he is the security manager of the regional campaign supporters of Manuel Rosales in my state, which made me even happier since dad is one repented chavista -when I found out he voted for Chávez in 1998, I almost killed him .. man, that was the quarrel of the decade! B"H my dad is back to sanity :-)
