Basboy\’s Weblog

I have been spending much of my free time updating my video blog, or generally uploading videos to my youtube account. (more…)

I have been away from this blog for a while now, having had a couple weddings to tend to and attend in the meantime, as well welcoming and then saying goodbye to a large amount of my extended family. I have even had to say goodbye to my little sister as she moved to Montreal with her new husband, and will soon have to similarly help move my older brother to his new city… It has all been quite emotionally draining, and I found myself without the will to even think about blogging, much less write something fit for your intellectual eyes.
To that effect, I have decided to try something new and use my newly acquired digital camera’s HD video capabilities to video blog my thoughts. I don’t know how long this will go on, but I think the novelty of it should last a few weeks, at least! I had already been uploading some sample videos testing its capabilities and/or capturing some of my nephew’s coolness, and I even got my first subscriber (it is only one of you guys, but, hey, I love ya and you count!!), so I guess my “youtubing” is a little more than a  flash-in-the-pan, but who knows?
Here is my first official video blog (make sure to click on the HD button below it to see it in full res):

Until later…

Tomorrow, the first wave of arrival will… arrive. Khalto Sanaa and her “kids”, accompanied by Omar Q. This fact is, obviously a happy one to me, and I regret that I will continue working while they are here, although my work times are rather early and will allow for maximum taking advantage of daylight hours for entertainment of any kind.

I will update you soon about our guests and whatever may interest you.

I am sitting here in the main living room of my father house in Doha, on the morning after the night of my arrival. (more…)
