Once again, celebrating my blog anniversary for the 3rd year. This time I'm at Cambridge, UK. When I start this live space blog I was at Abu Dhabi, UAE. That in July 2005.

As supposed to be, another year, with different stories and actions. I'll start with a summary about myself, then move to summarize my best buddies journey along the past year.

About myself, the real action start just few months ago. But I'll start with the most exciting incident I remember, my daughter's first year birthday on Last January. On Feb, I launched my professional blog starting to walk through the professional life on my career road. And about actions, last May I quit my job and started to search for new one. Returned back to Cairo after long 7 months of traveling between UAE and Egypt. Of course, my wife was sharing all that, except the blogging thing that was totally mine :0)

Now time to talk about those who really have touches in my life. The fellowship of my life:

• Real actions in Sameh's life, messed up a bit but he's still living and smiling. Not sure what he is going to do. But he was about to get divorced.
• Motaz, God be with you buddy. About a year now, searching and jumping between jobs. A man who really sailing in strong winds, and yet still alive, smiling and keep searching.
• Ali, oh man, happy birthday before anything. But Ali! what is new in your life buddy?! I can see any changes since last year. Except that stupid experience (getting married to incorrect girl) you were about to put yourself into. And of course visiting Egypt again after 4 years was something. I missed you really Ali.
• Karim, Congratulations. Finally the guy get married to the girl he loved about 5 or 6 years ago. Long love story, hopeless one, became true and they just get married last Feb. Congratulations guys.
• Muhammad Moustafa, he is also going to get married or already get married this month. I'm at UK, and he is very hard to find. I wish to join him this moments of his life. But life isn't that easy and it never give us all what we wants. But really being a friend of yours Moustafa is really amazing. And nothing like the old days.
• I keep my sweet till the end. Abu, Ahmad Abu Elkhair, Same troubles he face since a year or more. And yet same guy I used to know. And the best to have a talk with. Also facing strong winds, and cheering those who depressed as he used to do! But he is the one who usually being depressed!!

New people really I feel that they added a value to me. Amr ElSehemy is one of them. And few others totally changed my idea which was good about them, to some ruins because of their sick souls.

I can say, I lost another one this year, but it wasn't my fault. sounds like every year I'm losing someone. I couldn't mention his name, or ever remove him from my old blog entries. Still I do remember our best days together. And I wish that would have a better life.

So that was all for this post, and happy Anniversary to me.

Well, it's been a while now, almost 2 months since I quit my last job and resigned. And yesterday I was thinking of the reasons that made me take this step. And so, I decided to put them on.

• Lack of professional working environment.
• No process really being followed to achieve anything.
• Those who work are equally to those who don't.
• No care about time or efficiency.
• Too much work load while there is no reason.

I tried to change few the things I don't like, but I couldn't. I didn't get much support. So it was the end for me, I couldn't take it anymore. There is a long story behind the list above, but I tried to make long story short.

A month has gone since I resigned from my job. And I in the last 35 days I was searching for a new job and preparing few papers. Thank God I didn't wait so long as I expected, and I found a new job, hopefully it will be better than my previous one.

Basically I'm searching for professional environment where every one carry his responsibilities appropriately. An environment where talk is less and actions are much. No big mouths I seek, honored persons I wish to meet.

As we live, we gain experience in different fields, and commonly we seek experience in our field of profession and work. And I also seek experience in how to accept the other and how to interact with people in professional way.

In country like Egypt, and you'll find in the region (middle east) many countries like Egypt; professional environment is missing in most places. Sadly, this is a truth, why, and how I don't know. But this is the way it is. I try to stuck with my ideas, and at least correct myself, to be able to judge others.

That was my last post for the last day of June. By the end of next month (July) will be my Live Space 3rd Anniversary, and I usually post a summary of the year that has passed. So I'm waiting and trying to prepare for my anniversary post.

I'm sure that most of us already got a chance to meet with some sick minds in this world. Myself, I do. But I forgot most of them. And recently I worked and lived with one of them! and I was totally cheated on him. And I'm sure he will be forgotten just as all of the sick minds I met before.

The whole story started with respect, and ended with disrespect. I have my reasons, be he has no reasons but weak reasons. I have many people who agree on my opinion but he has only his sick mind to live with. That is why, I call him a sick mind.

Why do I call him sick mind?! Well, the story started 6 months ago I think. When he started to ignore his duty and not to full fill his position. As well as disrespecting others efforts and not appreciating their support for him. He totally throw his responsibilities out of the windows, expecting someone else to Cary them on behalf of him. He used to protect himself, by protecting someone else, because both of them were always and always delayed on their jobs. He used to call himself senior, while he totally acts against that.

When someone tried to remind him of the word responsibility, he answered "What, What is the issue exactly?! what responsibility you are talking about?!". Beside all that, he totally rap my rights in objection or request for his punishment to keep the right of the others. Someone like him, cannot be trusted. And I know why he never try to search for another job, that is because he will not be able in any other environment, because he is not professional, and he runs things the way he likes. But I don't like it, so I'm waiting to see where his sick mind is going to lead him! or maybe he will change his mind with some brand new one. But anyway, it is over, and I would never be happy to see him again even by coincidence.

The best way to predict the future is to create it.

Live Hard Edition

By Evanesence

OMG, I cannot believe that I got the chance to attend a concert to my favourite pianist and musician in middle east Omar khairat. The concert was amazing, and he played most of his wonderful composed music for about 120 min.

It was a lovely night in a boring city. His concert brought me to life, and made me refreshed my soul. I enjoyed every second of his play. I've uploaded few video shots during the concert. Not fully plays but parts of some of the music he and his band played during the concert.

This was a the first concert to attend for him from about 5 years maybe! and it was one of the best, specially because I am away from home, and he took me back home during his 120 min.
