Adventures in Türkiye: Antalya and Olympos
I stayed in Antalya for two days prior to venturing to Olypomos. As I related to a friend, Antalya has the similitude of Miami in many ways, save of course for Antalya being a Turkish city and along the Mediterranean Sea. I didn’t travel throughout the city; I stayed in Kaleiçi, the old district of […]
Eugenics – Made in USA
June 24, 2011
My country shitted on me (My country) She wants to get rid of me (Naw, never) Cause the things I seen (We know too much) Cause the things I seen (We seen too much) ~Nas, “My Country” Did you think Hitler was the only who experimented with eugenics? Well, think again. It also happened in […]
Adventures in Türkiye: Göreme (Kapadokya)
June 23, 2011
I’m in Göreme, Kapadokya, the “Land of Beautiful Horses” (in Farsi), and I’m about to leave towards Antalya for a self-guided tour along the Western coast of Türkiye. Insha’Allah, I’ll stop in Antalya first. Then, God-willing, I’ll visit Olimpos (Olympos), Bodrum, Ephesus, and Izmir. From Izmir, I’ll fly to Van, a town near the eastern border […]
Adventures in Türkiye: Konya
June 20, 2011
As long as I live, I am the slave of the Qur’an And the dust of the path of Muhammad If anyone quotes anything except this from my words I am far away from that person and that word. ~Mevlâna Jalal ad-Din Rumi I just left from Konya this evening, traveling through Anatolia towards Cappadocia […]
[Dreams]
June 17, 2011
“Good Luck? Who needs good luck? Make your own damn luck.” While perusing through YouTube, I found this old montage from back in the days when Cartoon Network began showing anime (Japanese animation) as part of their immensely popular afternoon programming session called Toonami. As a young teenager, everyday after school I would tune into […]
Everybody’s Grudge
June 14, 2011
“I tell you, it’s always something sweet Jesus! And when it ain’t something, you’re dead! Life is a bitch, and then you die…or you marry one.” ~My Mom Yesterday, of all the places on God’s chromatic earth, I had the rare, opportune fortune of meeting some colleagues of mine from the University of Florida, in […]
Adventures in Türkiye: Hagia Sophia, Kapalı Çarşı, and Topkapı Sarayı
June 11, 2011
I trekked on foot back to Sultanahmet from the Eminönü district so that I could visit the illustrious Hagia Sophia, the historic church/masjid/museum – but not before praying jummah in one of the many grand masjids in Istanbul. The khutba (sermon, homily), as one could imagine, was delivered entirely in Turkish, save for the traditional […]
Adventures in Türkiye: “Tamam! Tamam!”
June 9, 2011
Yesterday, my friend and I took a jaunt to the fields of Boğaziçi University, Turkey’s premier technical institution, to practice some yoga and some Capoeira. The school is situated at the summit of this hill, and you ascend to reach the school, you can see the Bosphorus River in all its beauty and grandeur. When […]
Adventures in Türkiye: My First Days in Istanbul
June 7, 2011
So, I finally did it. I quit my job as a nuclear instrumentation and controls engineer and went abroad, to Istanbul, to Turkey, where, for some strange reason and for many years since becoming Muslim, my heart had been calling me. The decision, though sudden and seemingly impetuous, was not a difficult one to make […]
