To the people of Dubai,
The new year has installed in me a sort of self-search and contemplation of what blogging is all about. It seems that it is an opportunity to really distinguish yourself and become a sort of "self-made-minor-celebrity" in your own right.
Having done some primitive research, via google search and seeing other peoples blogs, I have decided that it would be fulfilling if I can turn this into a major hobby of mine and become a blogger of importance in Dubai (or within the Arab world). That is my aim and as Machievalli states: the end justifies the means. Will this dream die and fizzle by the end of this month, only time will tell!
However, in order not to become a random blogger whom comments on their mundane life, I am currently searching for a theme for my work. Even though there are numerous thoughts that cross my mind, I will try to be a better person via having a noble goal, something to do with my status and identity, but that serves the community at large.
What is the identity you enquire?
Well there are many facets to my personality. I am a single, Arab, Western-educated, Muslim male. Although I am Jordanian (of proud Palestinian heritage), I was born in Saudi Arabia and did my college in the States. I am a marketing manager within the dynamic real estate industry, but have an academic fasicination with politics in the Middle East arena as I have studied international relations.
I can talk superficially about many items of interest, but the theme is what will make this endevour more serious and romantic (in its meaning of adventurous).
Let me go back to contemplation and brain-storming.
Till then, keep on smiling for "smiling makes a person beautiful"

A time for new beginings
To the people of the Jordan,
The new year has just started for me as today is the first day back in the office. I enjoy the new year because it feels like a time for new starts, and reflections upon the past; there are goals that were forgotten and/or simply ignored. It is a time for rejuventation and reestablishing one's self going forward.
Well, I will keep it simple and see how I do:
1) Get in touch with friends and acquanitices that I have lost touch with.
2) Re-start working out
3) Really get into golf
4) Decide if I will remain in Dubai or go back to Jordan.
More on this later, but for now, it is time for lunch.
