LOCATION: Lebanon. A conundrum of a country.
Where cars are made with expensive labels,
roads paved in cement,
noses remade with loans from banks $7 billion in debt.
Where homosexuality is illegal, probably because the legalization of it will burn 36% of the populations' closets to the ground, leaving no where to hide.
Where the capital, Beirut, is the epitome of a heterogeneous society. Not Melting nor confined to a Pot.
TIME: Wedged between the denial of yesterday and hope for tomorrow. No Present at All.
Not present at all.
We are caught in the inbetween. The space between flying and standing. The Almost place.
The time is almost noon.
The time has almost come for war.
The time was almost right for change.
time almost gave way to a new way of life.
The time has almost come for peace.
SIGHTSEEING: The Landmarks are no longer the ruins from every civilization that has come to existence.
Instead, we show you the best bars in town.
the best pubs in town.
the best places to smoke and drink.
To see and be seen.
The beaches, the women, and the statues of Jesus.
Twink? Bear? Jock? Queen?
come on down to _______ or El______ or even ________.
In the clubbing mood, find your way to ____ and dance the night away.
Wanna cruise the friendly resorts? take a dip into the cool waters at __ ___ ____.
Wanna mingle with the rich and famous ? get your D&G shades on and bounce your way into __ _____ resort.
warning: your actions and words come with warnings.
Conundrum
I fit in so well.
A conundrum I stand 5' 9'' and proud.
"Hey how was your trip? anything fun? any boys?... any women? did you hit the beaches? Ugh I am so jealous! Can I come next time? Have you heard from your ex or all your best friends? who am I kidding, how can you miss all the pictures and comments and blogs about moments and men in moments and men and their moments and men and moments and boys in men. Any Revelations? are you ready for new relations? any hook-ups? any one night stands? and potential biddies? How is your brother? and sister-in-law? how are your parents? and the house? did they fix the leak? how is your teta? did you come out to anyone new? how was the work you made? You always change when you come back from Lebanon. Why don't you want to come out with us anymore? why don't you want to drink ? or do drugs? or hook up? what kind of gay are you? snap snap snap snap. Girl. Gurl. GURL. GIRL. guhrl."
