The newspaper guy

Well, this is my first post in this blog and the 2nd after my failure attempt to create a stupid blog focusing on another issue.

Writing isn't really one of my best skills, especially if it was my thoughts we are talking about here.

I've always got the worst grades in composition exams. It is the subject I lose grades the most in. So I'll give it a shot here to see what it might lead me to.

As an introductory post, I'd like to give you an idea about what this blog is all about. I named it Emirates Reuters referring to the news paper agency. I don't want to sound stupid but I think you know that already. You can see that my first post is "The newspaper guy" which really sums up almost everything about me.

Yes, I am addict to newspapers, might be a weird habits to most of you or shall I call it hobby? Even I consider it stupid and it really gives me a hard time.

Why does this nickname suit me? Well, the first thing I do everyday after I wake up is reading newspapers. I cannot continue my day without reading them. I get my paper issues from Al Bayan, 7days, Al Emarat Alyoum and Emirates Today. I also read Al Ittihad, Al Khaleej, Assharq Al Awsat and Dar Alhayat daily on the net. I add to it sometimes Gulf News and Khaleej Times and of course Al Jazeera.net and Al Arabiya.net.

I got this nickname from my school colleagues. We have a Wireless LAN in college and instead of paying attention to the professor, all what I do is surfing the net and reading newspaper. I do that from the beginning of the class to its end. I used to be a freak; I rush to the net to read the news even though I already checked 5 minutes before.

The word "news" sounds boring already.

Anyway, my addiction isn’t really what this blog about. I only chose it because I didn't find a better subject to start with.

"I'll share my thoughts about things happening in the UAE and my life"
