The hard way from Home till my work office
Aug 31st
I have used google earth to show you how far is where I live from my office, well I am living some meters to my desk, at the 3th buidling floor all what I have to is to cross the road and get to my PC wroking hardly like a prankster, the trip takes about 15 seconds (the fastest employee in Tunisia), yes I am lucky.
How would we setup meetups ?
Aug 30th
Our friend Evil Drako have made a little poll abou the way we should setup next meetup, the tric is very intersting, the last 6 meetups were awesome but lately we haven’t seem too much new bloggers, the scheduling wasn’t ok for everyboy.
The Poll output is :
- Averybody must take the decision 15 % (3 votes)
- Only person is enganged setting up the event 15 % (3 votes)
- One place and a fixed date for a monthly scheduled meetup 30 % (6 votes)
- We just carry on as we’ve used to do 40 % (8 votes)
I salutate my Drako for this little study about the howto meetup should be held, personally I think that last meetup got their portions of success and as I voted for the last choice, I think that changing a bit that way, we can perhaps brush up the event, we’ve already been discussing related things, and so I recommand :
- Each meetup should set up by one or more blogger that haven’t already done before (rember that only subzeroblur, Adib and Me have already set up meetups)
- We should try to involve the bloggers that haven’t been in any meetup before or that have been only once with us.
- The place shouldn’t be always at Tunis, we may organise a bi-monthly out side Tunis meetup (as that one in Kelibia).
- Every blogger would bring with him a potentiel blogger : someone who’s the meetup would be a nice startup and buring desire to blog.
- We can also choose a theme for each blog, in that way the dicssion won’t be thrown in the air with no fixed proporsal.
- Every meetup must be announced by the bloggers involved in or not.
- After each meetup every blogger should give a little talk about the event.
In the next year as blogger number is gonna certainly rise setting up meetups will be a bigger task, al the bloggers are involved.
The 29th candle that I didin’t blew up
Aug 30th
What does it mean to have 29 ? And how can you feel with that so big number ? Did I really lived all that time ? and What have really conquested of my ultimate dreams ?
Lied on my bed, asking myself unaswerable questions looking to the roof, I don’t mind for the celebration, I just care for my miserable soul … i have no attention to call back all my memories to investigate about a bug in my matrix, I just want exacltly how much the pain have spend infecting my purity .. purity ? what’s this trash, relax man, those 29 could just be 29 rabbits running in the nature while a wild wolf is spotting them as his dinner’s feast management.
No, let’s just happy birthday to me, with no celebration, no gits, let’s say that I was pretty good living and that’s fo better next decades of my life, let’s just hope that bu the end of my third decade I’m gona touch the stars.
29 is not just the number of my beats, it’s all about how much worthli living for its dream is, I’ve struggled the most of my life and I’ve never let down, and for what remains of my biological beeing here in this earth I’m gonna keep on in the run.
Just Hope me a happy birthday, and I’ll get a long breathe of pure air.
Thanks to family, friends, bloggers and all the cats around the world. (then he stuck down and remain in tears …).

Da top model half naked photography scene
Aug 29th
As you can read it above and at the end of our gammarth’s swimming day while walking a while on the beach I was totally sold seeing this scene : that blond photographer was taking photos of some kind of top model both identified by the public as algerians.
Everybody in the beach was nailed watching the top naked girl doing moves as the blond was shotting tens of photos, I don’t mind if she takes photos or not, I just inquire that they have a littlme respect for the peapole swimming there as there was families ans children, how did they dare doing that ?
Finally I don’t know excatly what does the Tunisian legislation says about nude photographies in a public area, nut I’m sure that she offended many of us and that she were totally outlaw.
Any Given Sunday : Hey gammarth Beach make my body salty
Aug 29th
Althrough the weather wasn’t that top with a cloudy sky marking the attack of the early autumn, we’ve landed ma and Moez and Rafik in the gammarth beach next to the Résidence hotel to get our bodies dives in the waves for the last time before saying goodbye blue summer.
The beach of gammarth wasn’t crowded as usual and we’ve got a wide area in the beach with no problem, we’ve been swimming for more than 2 hours in a wavy sea.
It was more than funny with our digital cam we’ve been playing some kind of top model photography open-air studio …
At the end of the day about (5’30) we’ve let down the beach and get back to the land, the day was really tiring and we’ve got what we’re looking for some sun, some water and a lot of fun, if you ever consider yourself going to the sea, do it now, the weather is getting awfull and awfull everydayn, this could be even the last two weeks when you’ll be able to relax on the beach, so hurry up there !

After The 6th Tunisian Blogger Meetup
Aug 27th
I was just wondering how things would go if ever there was a 4-5 bloggers in the fiest meetup that I’ve announced, I was really anxious and stressed, but the blog power and freindship was above all ! we were 12 bloggers ther with wfull power, even if the cafe is the classic place that any one can go to taste coffe and the beauty of Sidi Bou Said, ther was a special group that day getting out of the classical friends coffee drinkers !
First of all I want to thank all bloggers espceially Drako and SubZeroBlue for their great help preaparing the Meetup in wich were :
Zerzaust
Tom
Evil Drako
Blogeuse
Marouen
Subzero Blue
Troubadour
Zizou from Djerba
AquaCool
The discussion wasn’t too much diferent from other times unless the same old questions of everytime, with the non-stop-talking zizou
After that long so long disuccion we got to a restaurent where we’ve spend more that 15 min trying to get a signle form table that would gathers all the bloggers and that was awesome ! it seems that eating is now a must do in our meetups !
Ther was no new bloggers else the austrain one, that come with MMM , zerzaust is impressed by Tunisia, she talks about with a big passion and fluent arabic, I like really that when foreigner share Tunisia’s love with us. The big surprise was certainly Zizou who emerged from nowhere, while we tought that he’s still ther in Morocoo, Tom was here too with his little brothers, ahh it was really excellent !
I won’t tell you more, especially those bloggers who never got off the shadow, I’m still angry and asking why they want to preserve their solo style, we won’t eat, we won’t kidpanp you , we are just bloggers who want to meet with bloggers like them ! Please , let down allm the rejection ideas and get with us for a two hous of fun !
Finally I want to thank you all ! the meetup 6 was more than excellent ! it was magic and special, I didin’t do it without you ! thank you again freinds !

The “Expres meetup”
Aug 27th
Before he didi get back to USA where, I have got a cool meetup with zaydoun and for my biggest surprise Seif was here too, I wasn’t waiting for more. The listtle discussion that we aborded was about how did he get in NewYork and thinhs goes there, in fact he was a so young boy of 20 with a very calm caracter and an impulsivbe expression of a solitaire blogger.
We’ve talk about blogging, and what he thinks about our Tunisian blogpshere, his answers were shorts but enough to see that he is in the blogsphere some 3000 Km far, we’ve handled many other proporsals that I won’t post for a single bunch of text, you know those things that bloggers talk about and that’s all.
I was extemly dispointed that Seif have let down blogging, his justifications won’t explain why a so enthousiatic blog reader/writer quit the blogging hell without a sign, at least he is reading now and somehow commenting, as long as he is still with us we feel ok, but Seif please try to lean back, realx take your time as long as it take and think it twice, blogging should heal your wounds, unbetter your life, perhaps your blogging experience wasn’t that famous or at least the way you manage it to be, but … sometimes we have to redraw our life strategy so what a blog ?
Finally, I’m very happy every time I meetp bloggers, just because I feel that I’m surrounded by my peapole, I call for other bloggers to try to get involved with us in meetup or even if they try to contact me for a coffee, I love you all !
