Simply, me
Dec 27th
While getting back from Beja, I ignored the driver beside me and sinked into a child’s first day school silence counting the trees ahead
The me is a so complicated thing to fit into a single post or even a whole blog, a set of thoughts thrown down a failure taste, a smashed boy up the unhappy circumstances, a warrior in a virtual war where my mad and dark shadow keeps wining the battle while I rely on the wall exhausted and self-doubting.
Like every year I have been so far from my primal objectives, I’ve been so mad, wasted than ever, but don’t worry I’m learning fast and making up the rights steps faster, the next year the Karim2k would be a smarter person, with no more trouble, just happiness all around (you can always run kariman).
I’m willing to change,or maybe just getting back that smiling kid from Zaghouan or where ever he is, I’ll make his simple personality work again in a garden where the green is the dominating color and the joy is the only smell.
I know that many of you understand this hysteria, they would be kind if they believe on because I need more so few to give my best.
Happy year and Aid to …Me. (Am I so selfish ?)
VHS Kahloucha : the new face of the Tunisian Cinema
Dec 26th
Moncef Kahloucha earns its living as house painter. But its activities are far from stopping covering the walls of white. It projects there especially many colors. Because Moncef Kahloucha is a scenario writer at his hours, but also actor, decorator, producer, graphic designer, distributor, owner, etc Films of gangsters, picturesque remake of Tarzan entitled “Tarzan of Arabic”, all the kinds are requested, as well as its neighbors and friends, their house and their furniture, are energized for the cause. Always turned in its village with the means of the edge, the films are projected, the completed assembly, with the spectators of the vintage before the cassettes do not circulate until in the rooms of exiled, hilarious to recognize their familiar under various getups. If in this first film, Nejib Belkadhi pays homage to the passion of the cinema, it celebrates especially the energy whose population decided to grow rich, refusing by the dream, the easy way and the joy, the oppression of misery.
Far away from the classic [and dirty] Tunisian Cinema scene, VHS Kahloucha is a total cut down stylish and new brand of how to making real Tunisian movies, the story is such basic that it could happen everyday at any Tunisian city (with less noise), the equipment used for the filming is a set of hand cameras and a lot of courage, featuring everyday peopole in ordinary plays making daily Tunisian life style.
The movie’s original sound track is as original as the movie itself, it comes straight out of the Tunisian underground music scene, where the only ambition is making music such as the excellent and beloved Zemeken and Neshez who do not make part of the Tunisian music industry (as industrial as the sheep’s wool) while their music is great and sounds so Tunisian.
I’ve found thousands of material related to the movie, unlike other Tunisian successful movies, the Nejib Belkhathi’s master piece has already won international rewards and respect, lately it was nominated for the 3th Dubai movies festival.
A special preview projection is under the works in an undisclosed location for only bloggers this December 31th, I’m really excited to see how good it is after missing it in the last Tunisian Documentary films festival. The movie will be released next January 8th, 2007 in theaters.

The deal
Dec 23rd
Yesterday, before getting out and due to many and overcomplicated issues, I have made a deal with god (as I don’t really mind for him), a deal meant to upgrade my ruined life to some kind of “relax, don’t you care”, a set of simple things that can make my life better and my being just meaningful, those late years, I have been mad enough and scratched on my nice portrait so deep, now I’m waiting his answer, I’m willing to do it myself, all his has to do is to bless my project and stop putting multiple gaps of my way. Then sit and watch what’s gonna happen … perhaps if ever he’s ever he have to do something.. or I’ll be damned for good.
