Love & Loss

Majid Jan, Thanks, I wish I

Majid Jan,
Thanks, I wish I would have known earlier I would have farmed out my kid and his 3 hour homework packet to my husband. Make sure JJ has the 4 dollars for that OC toll road. I was zinged without a fast pass.
AW,
Doesn't advent begin on October 6th? If not we should start our own religion.

Jamesons

At Christmas, we were allowed a little Jamesons in our eggnog.  To this day, it's my first celebration of the Christmas holidays...lol.

Skatermom

JJ can NOT pass the border without paying the toll here in OC. (attending our little get together in his honor).

BTW since you're not far from us you're more than welcom to join JJ's fans, Just write to  Jjfansinsc@aol.com  you're cordially invited.

Yay!!! I won. I won.

Yay!!! I won. I won. Bartender I'll also have a Jameson's chaser with that pint.
I'm only kidding. Now we're going to get responses that we're a bunch of drunks. I wonder where JJ is right about now. do you think he's over the boarder yet?

and the winner is...

skatermom!!!  very good!

Bartender...a Guiness to the lady...:-)

Agha JJ, I must say you're a

Agha JJ,
I must say you're a messy little bugger. I love the Marquis de Sade book along with the nair container. If you still have that frozen bag of zereshk you mind sending it my way. I'm out. Have a safe trip and be very very careful. Here's a little send off ditty. It's my husband's band.

AW,
That would be Mick Jagger. Do I get a 6-pack of Guinness? Sorry Ebi. I promise I'll share.

Ebi...Let's see if you are as good

as I think you are.

If you can identify the singer, you get a six-pack of your choice of beer.

so long

JJ, a while ago before you even make up your mind about this move, I suggested you should move to mexico and find youself a nice mexican wife and so on....I have to say I am really sorry for writing my second suggestion, I did not know that you have only been single for a couple of years. Not sure why, but I thought you were divorced for at least more thatn 10-12 years now. I hope the articles in (#30 &39) are left from your wife unless you have a secret life that we don't know about. Good to see you are wearing comfortable shoes on your trip(#25)//iranian.com/JahanshahJavid/2005/January/Guests/38.html

thanks, Kaveh

Ok... now I've got to go home and change clothes.  I've just sprayed Diet Dr. Pepper all over my shirt, keyboard, and worse... a stack of invoices.  What a visual...LOL

Funny little memory... after my sister's wedding reception, the hard cores weren't ready to wind it down.  We loaded up the last of the booze and what food we could salvage to head to a friends house... my brother-in-law was in the lead and when the group was ready to go, he stood and leaned out the car circling his hands yelling "wagon's ho" and this 10-car entourage starting driving down the road.... people leaning out of windows yelling and generally disturbing the peace...lol.

Love and Loss, Love and Learn

AW

I can picture the entourage now.

Since it's So-Cal, the entourage will consist of Mercedes-Benzes, BMWs, Lexus, and Toyotas (Camrys, Avalons & Priuses)

Car stereos will be blasting music from Googoosh, KIRN-AM radio 670 will have a reporter doing a live remote report from the exit at Jamboree Road.

The CHP will be ticketing people for grilling kabobs in the HOV lane, and there will be a one of those sign twirlers for Wholesome Choice at the Culver exit.

Then there will be some poor sap who will wave the IRI's flag and have the living daylights kicked out of him by the rest of the crowd, who will be waving the imperial flag.

CLARIFICATION

I'm actually in TN.so we can hold BBQ party,those artifacts were discovered way before this black and white fiasco.
But before the way these misunderstandings turns to...........
I love Iran ,I love America,and I love everybody in between capisce?
PEACE

Maziar jaan

As we speak Alaska and it's artifacts "Sarah Palin" doesn't count! and after Nov.4th, more so.

And as for JJ's goodbye party......If you live in the area "So Cal", find a way to contact me and we'll manage something that... His Imperial Majesty JJ have a memorable time with his fans.

I'll provide BBQ ribs, mash tators, corn on the cob and boose....what the heck ....heck, there's only one JJ !

ps. I didn't get what T.S.S means! 

Majid jaan

I can see it now... an entourage following JJ down the 405.  Horns honking... children waving... people on the side of the road waving as you drive past.

What a sendoff....:-)

T.S.S

don't ask me what does' it mean?agha majid the discovery of some artifacts & scripture found in Alaska suggests that some 8000 years ago the arrival of mongolians in eastward land wishing for greater chance for hunting & fishing. Disclaimer:I'm not in any way proving otherwise.
let's not forget jj's goodbye party.
peace

Maziar khaan

It's actually the other way around , gaelics in Irland and Gaules in France are rooted from Guilaan/Iran.

To prove it, it's always said "Go west young man, go west"

I've never heard anyone saying "Go east........"...LOL

American wife

thanks for the info.the language sounds sweeter than for me to read.
gaelic music is my saturday favorite with 4 pack guiness to listen to on NPR hosted by Fiona Ricci.
some where I heard our guilak are rooted from your gaelic.

Mazier

It's Gaelic... Irish... my avatar is the Irish flag.  My father's family is from a small town in western Ireland in County Mayo.  And no, I don't speak Gaelic but I do know a few phrases.  Like the children of the many ex-patriots from Iran who were born in the US and elsewhere, I've lalways longed to go to Ireland.  I feel that tie just as you do for your hamvatans.

Thanks for asking!

See you in a few I hope

I hope that you are not gone for good or even for a long time. Hey wait a minute I thought I read your blog saying that you'd leave mid Oct but starting your journey sooner sounds good too.

Reading the comments left for you so far, I'm reminded of the mindset we all share that loss or (I prefer) letting go is a sad thing. It's NOT! You have many unknowns coming at you during and after your move which keep you engaged and excited. I swear if I had a sister like yours I'd moved to Chihuahua yesterday, at least for a few months. Moving rejuvenates the mind and soul. Unfortuantely not that many people set up their lives to take the opportunity that you are taking. And for that I envy you.

BTW I do hope you bubble-wrapped all those cool paintings or at least protected them in blankets. And thanks for sharing the photos of your apartment! (I like what Ali P. said:o))

I wish you a fantastic trip down to Mexico!

Is that a sex toy in pics 15

Is that a sex toy in pics 15 and 17? I hope you don't keep ANY of your jahaz in a storage. I'd throw out EVERYTHING! Everything I saw could be purchased at a Goodwill or Salvation Army store!

Throw out EVERYTHING and start new.

JJ khaan

Please don't forget to keep in touch on your way south,

I'll e-mail you contact info .

I / We will follow you to Mexican border to make sure you're outta here...LOL

thank you

I am one of those displaced Iranians in Diaspora who Nazy Kaviani speaks of. I can honestly say you’ve changed my life more than any other person I’ve never met. I live in the middle of Iowa’s cornfields, dar anboh’e ghorbat o tanhaee, away from my family. Obviously, I have no support here. When I first logged onto your site, I had just gone through a long divorce, I had $80.00 in my bank account, and my son was living with his father. The only thing I had to look forward to was Iranian.com. Your website, your greatest work, opened the window of hope and vision for me. When I saw other Iranians and read about their achievements and success, I slowly started building up my confidence and continued my battle for my son. But I digress.

There were many a lonesome night when I sat in front of the computer depressed, and left an hour later with a light heart and a clear soul. I always found (and still do find) something that touched my heart. I would listen to a song that felt just right, read about an Iranian women in similar shoes, and somehow these small things gave me the courage to feel hope. Up to now I thought, “This is my story and I don’t need to share it with anyone.” After seeing your photo essay, I felt I needed to thank you for the gift of hope that you’ve given so many of us. So thank you, Jahanshah, for putting the last thirteen years your life towards something intangible. I felt I needed to let you know that even though you can’t look at or touch your work as a whole, it helped me more than I cared to admit.

But I know there is order to your madness!

Jahanshah:

You have created drama in this post to good effect! Heeh! People might have difficulty relating to the life an artist lives. I don't. I can understand perfectly well the life of an artist who has better things to do with his time than to clean up! Knowing you and your popularity among your friends, also, I know the demands on your time to attend functions and events and parties once your grueling work on the site ends each day. You just don't have time to tidy up!

I'm glad you finally cleaned up. Now you will have a whole new den to mess up and neglect, no worries! Forget about the mess, the landlord, and the sad memories you are leaving behind. Think ahead to the wonderful new experiences, friendships, and relationships you will be building soon, on top of the existing ones you have all over the world. Think of your family's loving presence around you, caressing you and giving you energy to do even better soon.

You are special in so many different ways, loved, revered, trusted, and respected by so many. There will always be a group of people who will miss your visits, your calls, and the carefree get-togethers only you can liven up in your own quiet ways.

I am glad you are leaving what pains you behind and going to pursue things which you couldn't find here. We will be hanging around, waiting for you to come back to visit or to stay. You must remember the true measure of your life's personal and professional achievements is in the order and harmony you have given your life to create among thousands of displaced Iranians in diaspora. That is what you can keep and cherish wherever in this shrinking world you decide to set up that den. The rest are just "things" which can be replaced, dumped, and shipped.

Bon Voyage and be safe my friend.

Dear JJ , It saddened me to see how sad you lived.

My son is very good looking and when I get mad at him for not doing well at school I tell him" match your grades with your looks" ,I will use the same analogy here  and give you a tough love  advice , My dear creative editor in chief of Iranian . com, " please match your living with your creativity".

Sorry for your loss,

Best of luck with your move, and future.

Tahirih

will miss you here even if

will miss you here even if we have not seen each other that much lately. wishing you the best.

bon voyage.

ON THE WAY TO GO

American wife.. just curious what dialect was that?
