Grim thoughts

As this year ends, as end it must,
As we must someday end in dust,
Salute the brave hours we have known
And not the cowardice we've shown >>>

The Joys Of Skiing

My Swiss friends invited me to go with them to Mount Baldy, which is about a hundred miles east of LA. >>>

اشعار هندسی: دلتنگی

بعضی روزا وقتیکه دلم تنگ میشه
زندگی یه جور رکودِ، نعمت حساب نمیشه
عجیبه، ولی وجودم هم یه جورایی غریبه میشه
تمام دنیام مثل یک شبِ تاریک بی ماه و ستاره میشه
فاصله های یک وجبی بیشتر از چندین و چند سال نوری میشه

Persepolis in Madrid

Marjan Sertrapes Persepolis was released here in Spain to half empty theatres.  The movie is cool but for those with Iranian background it can bring back hard memories and feelings.

These ads really bother me!

In 2007 are there no better (more imaginative) ways to fund this site?>>>

Kiss and Tell....

Hearts pounding, butterflies in the stomach, that 'tingly' feeling all over, like you are floating on a cloud. Oh how i miss it.

Confusing diplomacy with surrender

Answering a question about her vote on recent resolution on Iran Senator Clinton offered a detailed description of the resolution, which she said stressed robust diplomacy that could lead to imposing sanctions against Iran. French Foreign minister Dr. Kouchner told reporters that he believes in diplomacy. Secretary Rice also emphasizes the importance of diplomacy in dealing with Tehran and so does Prime Minister Brown and every European politician. The life is beautiful and the world seems sensible. Except for one tiny little bit of detail! >>>

رهائی واقعیت حیّ و حاضر

چرا باید حرفی زد که نه از نظر تاریخی وزنی دارد و نه گره ای از مشکلات امروز مردم فلسطین باز میکند؟ چرا باید سخنی گفت که آبی به آسیاب نژاد پرستان سفید پوست آنروز و امروز می ریزد و اسلحه ای بدست دشمنان قسم خورده ایران و لابی های قدرتمند آنها می دهد؟ اصلاً این معمائی است که چرا برخی از سیاستمداران جمهوری اسلامی اینقدر دلشان بحال دولتهای جابر اروپای ابتدای قرن بیستم مانند آلمان و اتریش و ایتالیا و فرانسه سوخته است که گناه نا بخشودنی و ضد انسانی نسل کشی و یهودی ستیزی آنها را بقیمت منافع ملی خود می شویند؟>>>

Foul language

My suggestion is to give the contributors more power, to accept or reject some, or all, comments. You know what I dislike most? It is not the comments with the foul language but what I can call SPAM COMMENT. Comments that come from people who have nothing to say, who argue about nothing, who are sometimes non-Iranian (completely out of touch with the area we come from), and I need to say this again, it is NOT about the things that are addressed at the authors that bother the authors (or I am guessing) but more about seeing your work turned into a piece of trash by some people>>>

Heaven scent

People like my wife and I who have spent years of our lives in pursuit of higher education have through the years been indoctrinated to believe that things, events or phenomena which cannot be explained logically, rationally and scientifically are simply figments of weak, unstable or wildly imaginative minds. It has only been in the past month that what we’ve always believed has been turned on its head, and we’ve come to feel that there are things which we cannot easily, logically, or rationally explain, but are as real as anything we’ve ever known>>>
