Some random thoughts

Thoughts on Kuwait

It has been nice visiting Bangkok. I like being here. I have been giving my friend, John, a hard time about living here. But I think he will like it, and I am happy for him. For all of the fun I am having though, I can honestly say, I am glad that I am going back to Kuwait soon. I really am looking forward to another year with my school. I like the people I am working with, the courses I teach, and the kids. What more could one ask for in life.


I honestly think that I am a very luck individual. Many people complain about Kuwait, something I have been guilty of as well, but for me it is a good place that I call home. I cannot imagine living there forever, but the next 24 years I can envision, but I am sure they will want to make me leave before then.


Thoughts on Iraq


Tonight I got to watch an amazing football match: Iraq versus Saudi Arabia. Iraq won with a nice goal in the 72nd minute. I was really happy for that poor country. It is nice to see when good thing happen to people who really need something good in their lives. I hope this is a historically significant sporting event that rallies a nation around it's new heroes. Good job Iraq!


Thoughts on the 2008 Presidential campaign
I think the Democrats are about to making a mistake by nominating Hillary Clinton, who is the insider. Whenever they do that, they seem to lose. Bill Clinton was an outsider. Gore, Kerry, Dukakis, Mondal, all insiders. I still hope Obama gets the nomination or that Gore throws his hat into the ring. I don't think I am ready for four more years of the same same but different.

Thoughts on my watch
A student gave me a watch four years ago. It was heavy. I wore it. It took the hair off my wrist. It hurt. But now I am used to it. That student will graduate next year, but I still like that watch.
Good job Sharifa!
