….when their brains were thinking outside the dark box that mubarak’s regime enforced on them for 30 yrs, their hearts were fully engaged in a revolution that showed the world the most inspiring images of courage, creativity, faith, compassion, and of course, an amazing sense of humor. I think Egyptians took ‘thinking outside the box’ to a whole new level.
On Feb 11th, 2011, the people of Egypt wrote an amazing chapter in history. Never before have I been this much proud of being an Egyptian.
الشعب العظيم….أسقط النظام

Egyptians, as usual, took a lot of things to a whole new level; like “revolution 101″ so to speak.. We showed the world how a civilized revolution is made; we have yet to see people cleaning up the streets after themselves and wiping what they wrote on tanks and armored vehicles when the revolution was over. I think every Egyptian will agree strongly with your last comment; never before in our lives were we so proud to be Egyptians :)
..my absolute favorite is a comment attributed to Silvio Berlusconi: “there’s nothing new going on in Egypt. Egyptians are making history, as usual”
..I just hope whatever happens next makes us even prouder..
Yep, Egyptians made history — as usual!
You also reminded me of CNN’s comment: “For the first time, we see people make a revolution and then clean the streets afterwards.” :)
“just hope whatever happens next makes us even prouder”
Ameeen to that! The referendum was the first test, and more & more to come.
it should be more like “Think outside the SQUARE”! Get it? although the box is good as well :)
but yes Egyptians have definitely made history. People all around the world are taking them as revolutionary role models. I don’t know if you’ve seen pictures of americans here in wisconsin when they had their own little uprise on anti-labor laws. All of their signs were things like, “revolt like an Egyptian”, “We want to be free, like Egypt”..
Also, nisooo did you make that Tahrir typography piece? I actually recently just made one about Islam. I know it’s “in” these days. Kinda cool though :) and I love your color choices…
Haha @ SQUARE. Good one. NOW I know you’re really Egyptian.
Yes marshee I saw those posters in Wisconsin.. I remember one of them said “Egypt=18 days. Wisconsin=?”. I was proud that the day came when Egyptians became an example of ‘efficiency’.
I’m not the one who made the typography! I couldn’t find the owner’s name back then when I found it. I’ll try again. meanwhile, I should put a disclaimer.. where’s your piece?
February 11th is my birthday btw :D hehe…
congratulations n_n
Muna thanks! Hope to hear good news from all Arabic countries soon inshallah.
You’re lucky. My birthday is Feb 10th: the day Mubarak came out and gave that disappointing speech. lol.
loool… oh don’t worry noone will remember that… errmm I guess :P
