Amin Matalaqa, the US-based Jordanian movie maker I talked about in an earlier post has a new film. Entitled “Affliction Day,” the movie is a must-watch for those who harbor strong feelings one way or the other for Michael Bolton. The short flick is actually quite amusing. Here is the link.

Peace through hatred of Michael Bolton
So I was perusing Jordanian blog Mental Mayhem when I came across this video called Affliction Day by Amin Matalaqa, a Jordanian American. Seems our peoples have much in common, including an all abiding hatred of Michael Bolton. Sadly, Michael, née Mi…
How much do I love your blog? I am still laughing at Amin’s video and I think Israelis and Jordanians can forge greater bonds of friendship based solely on our hatred of Michael Bolton. Sadly I must also apologize to Amin and all the fine people of Jordan, for Michael Bolton, on top of being a truly horrific singer, is also Jewish. Hopefully we can get past that ….
Jareer,
I was born and raised In Los Angeles California. Parents born in Jordan. Religion: Catholic.
So I am a proud American Jordanian Catholic, who clebrates the best of both cultures. Does that answer your question Jareer? By the way, i dont like it when people yell at me (hence the exclamation marks in your post). 🙂 is there anything else you would like to know about me?
Make up your mind Linda ! Are you Jordanian ?, or American ( back to Disturbing revelation- Jan 9th comment.)! In case you were wondering, I am neither, nor. I am vegetarian!
But I like Michael Bolton. But I am Jordanian first so i think i will stop listening to him because I do not want to end up sticking a pencil in my ear. Thanks for the great advice Amin 🙂 and Natasha, thanks for posting the links to Amin’s site. The videos are really funny, especially the ones with Arabs speaking the Jordanian dialect.
