About the Blogger
My name is Gino (Giovanni) Raidy. I’m Lebanese and live on the outskirts of Beirut. I’m an AUB student studying Biology and Psychology, hoping to go into Neuroscience and pick your brains apart in the future.
In the meantime though, I blog here, work in different industries for fun and save puppies.
I’ve dabbled in marketing, public relations, print and publishing and of course social media. My heart still belongs to Biology and Science though, sorry ladies…
Add to the above my years of scouting and my academic background, and you get a very confused mix of stuff that usually end up on these pages.
Electronic music is the only kind of music I’m interested in, I club way too much, I love food but I’m also a pretty picky eater, I’m a scientist at heart and base my life on the real and stay away from the supernatural, I’m a libertarian and believe personal freedoms are the only sacred thing in this universe and that governments need to stay small. Now, you can understand where I’m coming from when I write.
In case you haven’t already noticed, my style of writing is somewhat irreverent and tongue-in-cheek, so please try not to be offended.
About the Blog
The reason I started this blog was to try and get some extra credit in an English Creative Writing course at AUB. In the first week though, I got addicted to the hits and the idea that people are actually reading what I write. A couple of days later, I bought the domain and the rest is history.
The new logo is the molecular structure of Serotonin, a neurotransmitter responsible for many cognitive abilities, especially happiness and well-being. One of the benzene ring’s double bonds is modified to look like a smile. That’s because I have the molecule tattooed on my wrist, and the first time my grandma saw it, she asked “is that a rabbit” and ta-da, a serotonin molecule with a face.
