I learned of your blog from a local newspaper in Florida, U.S.A. and I am sure the same article was carried by other US newspapers. The importance of your drawings/writings is immeasurable as more people will soon come to see the "real" effects this war is having and not just the numbers game that is played on CNN night after night. Keep posting. Courage. Stay strong for you will get through this.
i've been through shellings myself so i won't say bullshit like "you'll pull through" because i have no way of knowing that. i will say, do what ever you need to do, for yourself. i hated the long nights in khe sanh. helpless, terrified, fucked up nights, other nights when we could get our hands on a bottle or bag of anything to just not feel like that. you are absolutely allowed to feel any way you feel. don't hide anything. there is where the truth lies. try mixing the whiskey with canned milk. it throws up easier that way.
Mazen, mother knows best (according to the online translator)...
Re riccardo fiume's words, yes, people do need to help on the ground. But above and beyond the band-aid quick-fixes, there are those whose calling is to open the eyes of those who can stop this murderous madness.
And that's what Mazen's doing.
His honesty, his suffering, his fuck-ups are our way in to the real impact this is having on our people. The beauty of Mazen's work is not the war, but the humanity it strips bare.
C.a.:Riccardo Fiume- (militare statunitense Mario Lozano, accusato dell'omicidio del funzionario del SISMI Callipari, certo non per torturarlo, ma semplicemente per fargli affrontare il processo in Italia. Impensabile.-non direi!)Sorry Mazen... if I use Your place, but is for things usefull at the same cause we are doing somethings for.Hi Riccà, sei anche Tu davvero convinto(sebbene sembreresti un bel pò + smaliziato ed attivo)che là dove Tu dici, trà circa 150.000-soldati(?)americani, inglesi, isreliani etc, in aereoporto ad aspettare i ns concittadini, trà i quali UN VERO EROE, COME QUELLI DI Nassirya ed altri,il Caro Callipari;dicevo sei convinto, che là ci fosse prorpio quel tizio con nome e cognome Italiano e che ad uscire fuori, sarebbe avvenuto per caso, mentre uno giocava col computer, riuscendo a decriptare un documento americano in quella situazione...Allora è pure vero l'11 settembre e che l'invasione del Libano è per causa del sequestro dei due soldati(?) e tutte l'altre storielle,o no!? Con affetto italiano a Te e comunque pure a Mazen, che se giustamente potrebbe rendersi anche utile, dal punto di vista pratico, Gli và riconosciuto che non stà come noi seduti al sicuro(almeno Tu Riccà)ma sotto le bombe e non quelle del 1943.Colgo l'occasione per segnalarTI anche questo sito: Raising Yousuf: a diary of a mother under occupation. E... Dimenticavo, che significa Italiano, di cognomi italiani è pieno il mondo dopo la seconda guerra mondiale!
You know - I've added your blogg to my preferred list and I named you the "IT SHIT". After reading your blogg for more than two weeks now, I am realizes more and more the simple powers of your artistic creativity.
Bottom line, don't eye on me brother, keep drawing and typing.
Also in response to what you told me regarding my comments on your interviewer from Israel post: I don't care ya Mazen what people think about me; I care what I think about myself and how I can contribute to my loved ones and the world. And by doing so, people will know more about me, about you, about all of us.
Mazen! I hate leaving comments on blogs but... I just want you to know that not a day goes by that I don't talk with someone about you. You and your friends are so much like many of us here in Chicago except that you are being bombed. I always knew there were people who, just like me, want to play music and make art and have sex and eat food in every city that was ever attacked but... this time I know them in person. I won't tell you what to do or not to do, except maybe to remember you are being thought of non-stop by me and many others here and around the world. After this shit is over, I hope you will still want to play. I had an idea to play your solo record at high volume in front of the state department (psy-op stylee!) but, these are the tactics of the war mongers. I hope to never become the flip side of their miseraeble coin. Love, its our only weapon. PAX! Yours, Fred
Mazen, dear I´m sure peace is coming. We all need that miracle. This world it´s upside down but the artists must live to make a good thing with all this shit. Please, we need you. Of course nobody wan´t to live in the horror but you´re changing that horror. Your heart is a big hope. I whish you continue drawing and playing your music. I wish a lot of people with a soul same as your are borned. Drink, smoke, do whatever you need to bear war but keep posting. It´s the very true that I need you. Kiss, love, hug, & peace
Mazen, I hear you. I think of you often and pray for this all to end. Please find your happiest thought and hang on to it. It must be so hard... love, Maurica in California, USA
I'm born in Germany my parents come from Tunisia and I'm into Japanese culture.. My big love is Japanese!
Why do I write this? NEVER ever forget: the world is HUGE... Many cultures, so many people.. so many smiles, and bad places too.. But never think about dying.. keep fighting! Always keep fighting.. Keep hope and make your soul as big as the ocean! Believe me the World is bigger then Israel wants to make you believe..
Allez du courage! il3aalam kullu ma3aakum!
The world shows strengthe from Japan to south Africa! You too be strong! yours Arafat
Cher Mazen Je viens de te voir sur ARTE à la TV en France... j'espère que toutes nos voix seront entendues et que la guerre s'arrêtera. Je suis franco-argentine, j'ai des amis libannais que j'aime et des amis juifs que j'aime. Je pense que le problème est plutôt du côté des gouvernements, du problème du partage de la terre, qui en est propriétaire ? La justice est difficile de se faire sur ce point... le conflit est un symptôme de ce problème que personne ne sait résoudre encore... si la terre pouvait seulement appartenir à tout le monde... Je pense à toi Soit fort et tiens bon... moi j'organise une manif à Buenos Aires pour la paix, contre les terrorismes (surtout celui organisés par les états)et pour la justice... j'espère que cela servira à quelque chose...
