hi... you can call me sticks...

So I've been delaying posting this for a bit... I just haven't had the time... but since I'm waiting on a friend to call me up to see how I can get my car towed back to my place, I thought I'd do a quick little post...
So hi all... I'm a guy from Beirut, Lebanon. I was born in Saudi Arabia (specifically in Zahran, a city on the Persian gulf) from two Lebanese Muslim Sunni parents who happened to meet up and get hitched in Saudi Arabia. After jumping around a bit during my younger years between Saudi, Lebanon, and Canada (at the time, the civil war in Lebanon was still going on... we never do seem to get any rest), we got back to Beirut (that was in 1991 I believe). In 8th grade I met my best friend... who happened to be Christian... After years of going to youth meetings and retreats with him, and after a direct intervention from God into my life, I accepted Christ as my personal Lord and Savior (Aug. 19, 2001... so I've been a Christian as long as CAA has existed pretty much ). Got into college after that, and after some years of dealing with my parents over my conversion (those were interesting) I finally got my BS in Computer Engineering from the American University of Beirut in June 2005. Right now I'm in the home strech of finishing up my Masters in Electrical Engineering from West Virginia University (Let's go Mountaineers!! Woohoo!
). And that would be the extremely short version of my biography.
So right now, I'm a Grad student doing research and trying to figure out what God wants him to do next. I play the drums (I'm a bit loud), and I drive a stick (downshift and power through the turn!). And that sums up a small part of who I am... Looking forward to get to know everyone here, and for everyone to get to know me...
Edit: I forgot to thank Doubleshadow for referring me to this forum... Thanks DS!
