that’s it.
it’s over.
the book is finished.
me too.
i didn’t draw today.
i didn’t watch tv.
i didn’t think.
i didn’t.
i did nothing.
i am preparing myself to leave tomorrow for a 10 days tour in sweden and norway.
my first “break”. how is it now in sweden? i thought for a moment that it’s going to be funny to be in a place where we won’t speak about the war for a couple of days. actually we won’t speak of something else. will the swedish airport security like my beard?
shift the brain.
the war is over.
they said.
the next one will take a moment to come.
shift the brain.
the holydays are over.
you’re going to work.
you are a musician.
go clean your trumpet.
pack your crap.
forget about it.
erase.
that's it.
fill your time now.
unitl?
it’s over.

A CALL FOR COLORS FROM:
the blind birds
the roasted flesh
the stars' sound
beirut's sky
and from my tired eyes

"one more year on the initial counter"
"one less year on the final counter"
at the end of the civil war in 1990, i calculated that when i'll be 31, i would have lived more in time of peace than in time of war.

still resisting?
it's 3:30 am.
there is no electricity.
i cannot upload yesterday's and today's drawings.
the war is "over" since monday.
they are still finding corpses under the fallen buildings.
we still freak out each time we hear a scooter or a truck. we think of the planes.
tomorrow we're recording a "war quartet" with sharif, charbel and marc on electric guitars.
i am still drawing.
i am waiting for the day when i can sleep.

before you went to bed, you told me:
"it's very weird that i am not afraid of going to sleep"
this page is only for your eyes.

the eternal return
despite the warnings from israel against the circulation beyond the litani river, thousands of cars overloaded with people and luggages took the road toward their villages' ruins today, starting 8 am.
the stubborness of the lebanese people will remain for ever a rejoicing mystery to me.

14th of august
they are saying that today, at 8 am, the war ended.
and i said that when the war will end i'll stop drawing for a while. i'll rest.
and there is a girl with very beautiful eyes in the torino.
and there is a smell of life in beirut. only a smell.
very beautiful. more than what i can draw.
i don't know why i feel that i'll have to still draw for a long long time before i rest.
