    Recently killed Assyrians - let's do something about it

    Hi guys, I wrote this as a note on Facebook and tagged as many of my friends as I could. The tag limit for each note is 30, so I posted 4 notes, all with the same body just different titles, so I could tag everyone. I think we should all do this, no one is talking about the killings and...

    Thank you, Michi.

    I should have done this before but I forgot and...that's horrible. I must thank Michael Goriel (Michi) for all the help he gave me with Shaypoura.com.  He listened to me rant about what I wanted to do and how I wanted to do it countless times, he gave me advice, and introduced me to some great...

    Shaypoura.com

    is finally up :) http://www.shaypoura.com The purpose of this website is to help unite Assyrians through art because it is my whole-hearted belief that art is the only thing that can accomplish such task, to promote Assyrian artists to the non-Assyrian world, and to help preserve our language...

    "Smart Girls Marry Money" by Elizabeth Ford and Daniela Drake

    I've always been against this concept, but I'm also against marrying for love alone, and the authors do make some good points. "Smart Girls Marry Money: How Women Have Been Duped Into the Romantic Dream--And How They're Paying For It" Product description from Amazon: Why does society applaud...

    Founder of Dead Poets Society visits bards' graves

    Sometimes it takes a bit of quirkiness and eccentricity to do something noble.  This guy's cool in my book, especially since he's reminding us of the "doubly dead" poets. ........ CUNDY'S HARBOR, Maine ? On the big screen, the leader of the Dead Poets Society at an all-boys prep school was...

    Chicken Dijon - Various locations in Los Angeles

    Okay, whoever comes to LA should eat at one of their locations.  It's delicious (but sort of watered-down/Americanized) middle eastern food.  I'm very picky when it comes to hummus and I love theirs. And the owners are Assyrian!!! But don't speak Eastern Assyrian really fast at them cause they...

    Jack wakes up with a huge hangover after a really awesome business party. He couldn't even remember how he got home or where his gear was. As lousy as he was feeling, he wondered if he did something wrong. Jack had to force himself to open his eyes, and the first thing he saw is a couple of...

    Janan Sawa song

    I know it's terrible to talk crap about Assyrian singers, especially coming from me cause I LOVE Assyrian music, but considering how Janan has some umm..ahem....let's just say "anti-Assyrian tendencies", it's kind of alright in this case. He sang here in Los Angeles last night, where it was...

    What language do you think in?

    For those of you fluent in more than one language (obviously), what language do you find your thoughts to be in?  I think in English and cuss in Assyrian. Mentally cuss, that is.
