CAIRO, EGYPT: ... "The Bad" ... "The Bold" ... and "The Beautiful" (For Saleem)

This posting will be to mark the event's going on this week in Cairo, Egypt ... since I havent posted anything on this yet, and this is big world news. But what inspired this was a neighbor I known for 20 year's named Saleem, who work's at his familia's owned gas station/ convenience store (he started there at around age 20, while going to business college at night in North Dallas) ... who I frequent his store for as long, and we alway's have alot of small chat ... but hardly ever politic's ... mostly football/ soccer, music, bad ass car's, good lookin chix, etc, etc. But Saleem is originally from this town Cairo (born and bred) and has spoke to me of the beauty of Egypt when asking him about some of the pyramid's, history, etc ... fascinating stuff, because I frankly dont know nothing else about Egypt. Saleem pride's himself today on being a Texan ... and even wear's his cowboy boot's daily, and even is a die- hard Dallas Cowboys fan! (If they lose any given sunday, Saleem is in an unpleasant mood monday) :) But he has been back to visit several time's (he usually stay's about a month per visit), and shared some cool pic's and small cultural statues/ sculptured art, he brought back about a year ago from there. So Saleem ... this one is for you Bud! :) ... or should I say ... this Bud (Budweiser) is for you(?) :)

This first video I chose to take a lighter side to this unpleasant violence and transition folk's have been going through over there ... a video with filming ran in reverse as well ... then a couple music pick's.

Cool.....I knew the revolution would be televised, but I didn't expect it to be rapped.

Infodel: ... I didnt even expect Egypt to jump into a revolution for that matter, but knew nothing much of their actual condition either. The rapp thing covered it fairly well I reckon.

Thank You for your input here

Glad you enjoyed Prash ... I just stumbled across them while browsing music on YouTube, and thought of Saleem.

Later Guy ....
