Some might tell you the world was better off fifty years ago. Others will say that we are better off today thanks to technology, however I believe both statements are true. Today we face many problems. We need to first solve social disconnect.That is why I follow a quote that says “Be the change you want to see in the world”. I honestly believe that positive influences can snowball. We need to work together to achieve! By Solving Social Disconnect we can have a platform to solve other problems!

Well, I am Egyptian. I only lived in Egypt for three years before moving to Saudi Arabia. In Saudi I made lots of friends from all over the world, enabling me to see all different types of cultures and extract all the good parts from each. Life in Saudi was great. While in my senior year of highschool in Saudi I attended a Model United Nations Conference in Saint Petersburg, Russia.I now live in Montreal, Canada and like Saudi it has many different cultures. The winters here can be very severe, and recently got me into a great depression. I did not know what was going on, I felt like life was not worth living, I had panic attacks (i sometimes still do, but i know how to handle them) and did not know what was the point of life. It took me a couple of months to recover, but recover i did! I knew that life is worth living if you make the most of it. At the same time I knew that for me, the point of my life was to change the world in positive ways. That can easily be by smiling or saying hello to someone you don’t even know, the world today is so socially disconnected. People are chasing money not to live better, but just for the sake of chasing money. My parents have raised me right, and I want to be the best person that I can be.

Today I was doing a bit of shopping when I saw police closing streets, I knew something was going on. I took out my camera and started to record. It turned out to be the Pedal for Kids (Pedalez pour les enfants in French) Charity Bike run. They donate money to sick kids in the Montreal Children’s Hospital. Check out the website here (today was the last day of the run)

I was on my way to a friend’s house two days ago with my camera (since he was leaving) and I came accross this street performer. Very Cool I must say and I’m glad I had my camera, you never know when something interesting might take place.

Photo of the day – Multi Colored Dog eyes (Heterochromia)

Blue eye

Brown eye

Yesterday I went to St.Laurent Street which was open to only pedestrians and there were many happenings. However this is one that really caught my eye (Pun Intended). I saw this cute dog (His name is Rugby), which had one brown eye and one blue eye. I found this so interesting and tried to get a picture with both eyes in one shot, it was pretty hard to get Rugby to stop moving. I got the shot but his brown eye was almost shut (click on the picture to see it larger). So I took another shot of just his brown eye so you guys could see. There was a girl in back in Saudi that had the same thing, I never knew the medical term for it so today I found it. The medical term is Heterochromia.

Today I felt like going to Westmount Park to do a bit of writing, and chill out in the beautiful weather. The weather was a bit chilly, but very sunny. A great start for the summer. Afterwards I went on a quest to find squirrels. I found one and got pretty close to it after a bit of trying.

20 20 20 Computer Screen Rule

So I was trying to look at some of the specs on my LG monitor on Vanns.com and noticed that it had a feature based on a  20 20 20 Rule which I have never heard about before. Basically Ergonomics experts Reccomend that every 20 minutes you look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. So I thought this was a cool feature, however I could not anything about 20 minutes, I only found a timer for an hour on it. However Feature or not, Try to use this rule if you stare at a computer screen a lot like I do!
