 could you really steal but I guess the whole thing was more about the gesture than the actual amounts yeah sunny always sunny I wonder why I wonder why a deep sea swell and a deep sea churn for sure there was a Sri Lankan guy called Ali Jafaji and I met him for the first time in that bar slash restaurant on the corniche in Maadi that opened and closed very fast he was friends of Amin and Ayman I think maybe I went with them no I went with Basel El Asabi and I guess I got to know Basel through Amin or the opposite I don’t know but Aly Jafaji was there for a bit and his sister started going out with Doodi for a while for a long time and there was a time I can’t locate but there was a time when this tribe slash thing really got big big big bigger and bigger and was full of people who were like I think were trashy people and the situations I remember the most I also was not so interested in this group anymore because of the way it was becoming in a way really trashy but the situation I remember the most situations I remember the most was really just being packed in a car with lots of people with people sitting on your lap whatever lots of people and all different kinds of relationships criss-crossing in a way unclear really who is exactly with who really just a wide arena and somehow in my memories being stuffed in these cars and always associated with Maadi I guess at that time I guess there was always the same average problems more or less but at that time at least for me I was always ending up in all these parties in Maadi for some reason and so more than remembering the parties what sticks to my mind clearest is being stuffed in these cars being stuffed in these cars with a lot of people I had a friend now I remember him very weird I had a friend called William he was an American living in Egypt I think he converted to Islam I’m not sure or he was nearly about to do that something like that and he was one of those I had different friends that were not friends with anybody else I knew just a few they were not necessarily very close at all but just personal friends in a way outside the scene and he was one of those friends and uh he played bass also and he lived in El Darb Il Ahmar in a very popular neighborhood and I visited him three or four times we jammed together a couple of times and just hung out and he was really a nice guy really unpretentious really not into anything he was not orientalistic about anything he was just very modest and lived there and maybe it was his financial situation also whatever just a very humble guy I don’t even know how we stopped being friends just at one point we were a bit friendly and we met a couple of times jammed a couple of times spoke a bit and that was it and I never saw him again and I guess he probably left or or just his life took a completely different turn or my life took a completely different turn but I don’t think I’ve remembered this guy for a fucking long time but I remember the way he looks very well was weird and it was good that I always appreciated that somehow things took me without even me deciding but things always took me to different places in the city and without being conscious about it each thrust into a place I did not know was like a way of touching it and a way of OK being there somehow and always strange when I was in the middle of that life really and the way it became absolute for me that was the thing it really did become absolute I think this is something I’ve lost now completely no matter what I’m into it’s never so absolute somehow as those times when you’re a child it is like that but when you’re a child you don’t mark it or I didn’t mark it when I was a child it was just like that from beginning to end from the time I was aware to whatever I never marked it but with with AUC it became absolute but only I went in I experienced a transformation I had there was an impact of this institution upon my life very strong impact resistance against and then I settled into a pattern a lifestyle that was always changing but always connected to each other and that became very absolute that was in a way not questioned and this is where this is where I have a bit of a problem the fact that I turned it into an absolute thing this is where I feel the problem maybe lies that it was turned
