::apologies::

i must issue a few apologies about not posting for quite a while...not sure if anyone actually does check this site...but for myself i want to remain consistent with posting...have continued to be extremely busy for the last week or so...working a full day and then many days having meetings or other events to go to in the evenings...a list of events that have happened and are coming up (gives a feeling for some of the stuff i am working with)

- screening of documentary (avenge but one of my two eyes) the middle east forum co-sponsored through an international film festival...the movie was awesome and the video-conference with the director Avi Mograbi took awhile to work correctly but was beneficial. the movie really delves into the feelings which may be overwhelming the palestinians in the face of occupation... and compares and contrasts this feeling with the glorification of samson and the individuals from mosada...incredibly powerful movie for anyone who is interested in the conflict between these two peoples


- next week there are going to be two major events coming up for AFSC ... one is going to be an event called "playback theatre" ...an improv theatre group is going to be preforming and using audience feedback to structure a vision of what peace looks like to people....could be sweet....

- one major event i will be in charge of is coming very quickly....the toughest thing is that we don't know when it will happen... i will be trying to host an event to recognize the day when we lose the 3,000th soldier since the Iraq war began...

- one other major task i have been undertaking was to create a new website for the Middle East Forum i have been helping with....so far i have a shell up....on the site you can check out the events we have coming up!

i have been busy...but i shall try not to shirk my responsibilities to my blog again :-D
