Mrs. Amal Soliman, you're booked!

Even though this day is far from soon, on that day when i do decide to tie the knot, i now know who is the ma'zoun (notary) that will do the job!
It's Mrs. Amal Soliman, who is the first woman in the Muslim world to be appointed to conduct Muslim marriages.
I am sure by then i'll have lot's of women to choose from, but i think i'll go with Amal...
Maybe by then i'd be allowed to sign my own marriage certificate, not have my father or do it for me - blood pressure rising...face turning red.... relax, breathe, count to ten - ok i am fine!

It's a bit funny, they've been talking about this for a while, same as they did with female judges. Everyone is against it, even some poor misguided women who've been breeded to think they have half a man's brain and reason just because of the inconvenience of mensturation. (if you think it's a gift, you've obviously never had it)
You think that it's not gona happen - but our dear old HosHos with is obliging government decides, who gives a fuck about my backward people think, i am doing it anyway.
If only i had 0.1% doubt that he did it out of his conviction of equality and fairness and not his desire to please mama amrika, i'd maybe still have an ounce of respect for that man.

But regardless of the reason, it's done - and good on ya Mr. President, you've done something right!

One degree of separation to my favorite rockstars

Last week i met Zinny J. Zan the original lead-singer for the 80's Glam metal band Shotgun Messiah (1986-1990).



Yep, he's one of those dudes!
I never thought i would work in the same company as a real ass rockstar!

Wikipedia offered more info about him than he wished to share with us, i guess it's not fun to be on wikipedia huh?

But i guess he might top the chart of the most interesting people i've met. But that's mainly coz now i can officially say that between Aerosmith, Bon Jovi and myself is only ONE degree of separation.

i can be a bit vain sometimes :)
