Tensions in Alex

This the best report I've seen so far on what happened in Alex yesterday.

Personally I think the gouvernment has the most to gain from these kind of tensions in Egypt. I'll talk about this in detail but later, if I remeber.

I'm too Egyptian for my liking (short term memory)

Yeah, the title says it. I'm a very critical person and I must say I can critisize anything. One thing I hate about myself is all the flaws I have, which I like to link with my Egyptian half and the fact I think I've been in Egypt way too long, or at least I came here way too young. This post is groan about my short term memory, which is the best invention our gouvernment has. I alway get ideas that I'd like to blog about or at least talk about but ten minutes later I won't have an inkling what that subject was. Of course the subject is there but I have no way of accessing the part of my brain where its sitting quietly enjoying the view. Everyone else in this country is just the same. Anything of importance can only hold our attention for a short while if nothing is done well byebye important issue. Rinse and repeat to get desired result. It happens everyday and I wish it wouldn't, there's too much that get washed down the drain with the shampoo.

Just now I got up for a few minutes and boom, I don't think I can finish my point. I really wish this wouldn't happen. But what I really would like is for it to not happen with every other Egyptian, there are so many things out there that need our constant attention and care, till we can give that we'll stay put with being a horribly ineficcient thid world country.

Letting out steam is good for you. In this case for me.

I hate not blogging to nbe honest. I have a blog and it does have a good purpose, letting me let off steam. I read too much and don't do enough useless brainless stuff. I care about things all around me that nobody cares about. And to make things worse even if somebody cares he's either very passive and won't want to help fix that thing, and if he does the ideas coming out of his mouth will usually be as useless as a rotten fish, unless you're the bacteria eating the fish.
Two things keep on buzzing in my head. Why don't we change our useless educational life? I say life because the system is not the only thing that effects what people learn, if they actually do.
The other is Egypt's oil and gas running out. Everyone I've seen bringing up the subject in the lat few weeks thinks that nuclear energy is the solution. Iran's getting it, so why not us is also a common sentiment. What about alternative energy sources? Egypt won't be the only country to think of nuclear energy with current fossil fuel problems of price and supply. We'll have to compete with two growing giants, China and India, and also a lot of industrial nations will be thinking the same. And by the way, how much f**king Uraniam do we think there is anyway? Renuable energy can replace current fuels easily and econimicaly, do they really think electric cars base on batteries are going to be the future? If electricity is going to run our cars some day its probably going to be fuel cells not batteries. We don't have much of a budjet when it comes to research in this country, why not make renewable energy be our national project and goal? It would pay off in the future, but then how many people in this country care about the future if its more than a week away?
I'm getting depressed here so I'll leave it at this for now hopefully I'll be back again.
