stories from egypt

inside - I'm an Egyptian B.Sc. in Engineering. Fiew years ago, I started saying poetry till I reached, these years, at a high level even more than famous poets. After being the Poet of Engineering for the whole five years, the Poet of Cairo. Uni. for the last year and the Poet of Universities, I'm in such trouble! I don not like studying, say poems instead! This lead me to spend my time diving into the heavens of words and imagination for hours! But.. WHAT ABOUT MY STUDY AND WORK?!
outside - I felt so happy when I noticed the increasing attention by my citizens to the Internet. Every day many many students, operators and doctors ask me frequently about things in the Internet. Also many departments and labs are being joined to it.
future - Of course, as a Muslim, Arabian and Egyptian, I hope: (1) The outer waorld, especially USA and the West, know us well and realize what our religion and traditions say. (2) New technologies, esp. the Internet, become basic knowledgements for us. (3) NO WARS!!

inside - No recent inspirations. I don't even recall any inspirations at all. I bought a CD from the Band "K's Choice" and was happy that there are still people outthere who know how to make good music. Not that they inspired me to do something but I was quite happy at that time. (Does that count?)
outside - There is not much going on here in Cairo. No great events at all.
future - We will propably have war again in the region. The USA will loose the struggle againt the rest of the world and won't be a super power. Life Style will propably not change much. Everything will propably get harder, with mass epedemies, famine in the third World, western financed wars in the third world etc. Life will be hard for everyone, even for the people in the industrial countries.
