dime si te causo una revolución,
dime si te hago cambiar tu canción,
dime si te hago suspirar,
dime si te haré volver a empezar...

querido pueblo egipcio:
we love you for reminding us of what millions of people & a burning desire for freedom and justice can do. we love you for your most beautiful victory against a most ugly u.s. client state regime. we love you because even though bringing down the dictator is not the same thing as dismantling the dictatorship, we know that you are just getting started!
تحيا مصر! ¡que viva egipto!
♥ ♥ ♥

friday was such the happiest day in recent memory, no? even all the way over here. i had a difficult time believing it was true at first, then all of a sudden there were all these text messages & emails, so many notes from friends & camarads who were 1. dancing or 2. in tears or 3. both. when i finally tore myself away from al-jazeera english (and live broadcasted scenes of the biggest street party ever in the history of the world), i set out for work in downtown oakland. i stopped downstairs in our building for some caffeine, and the palestinian owner greeted me, smiling, did you hear? he said an egyptian women had just come in and bought 12 dozen cookies for the entire floor of her office building to celebrate. a few minutes later my mom, who had emailed recently to say that the egyptians & their revolution were in her prayers, texted me: yay egyptians! god bless them!!!
for reals.
