Salaam Iran

You asked for it,

Rosie Jaan!

Ratchetting up the notches is what I do best.

اتوبوسی بنام هوس‌های ضد امپریالیستی

Why jump Spear? You never know what happens after. Take control till the end!

.

.

Well, you sure did take it up a few notches, Spear

This one's for you.

You are on this godforsaken tour bus, Spear. Just like everyone else is. You're on it. There is no getting off.  Off the site, yes, but off the bus, no. So you may as well join humanity and enjoy the ride.

Your choice.

Your whole country's watching you right now.

-----------------

Oh yeah, and ps, how come you didn't answer my last e-mail? 

And if I were on this godforsaken tour bus,

initially I would be really nice to IRI trolls (even offering them some fresh ajill and peste with shots of tequilla) and after I successfully lulled everyone into a false sense of security, I would suddenly throw Midwesty out of the driver's seat and onto Rosie's lap, and drive the goddamn bus over a Chalus cliff and jump out at the last second. I know some good people would be perished, as in Dk, Rosie, bencross, OnlyIran, COP, etc., but it would also be the end of IRI propagandists like No Fear, IRI, the craven Nilo Parsi, Q, Sargord, the famous bache-mullah, Shahanshahesmail, mola Nasredin, and the Palestinian Marge.

The world would be a better place.

In the spirit of full disclosure,

Since some people are "letting their hair down" and openly discussing their previous identities, as in Was Rosie, or Was Khar or Was tellitlike... I, Spear, was "Free" (yes, Captain, now you can transfer your uber hatred of "Free" onto Spear), and before that, I was Nusha Arzu, and before that, Ramin Parsa, and in the very beginning, I was the infamous Sassan (Rosie and Q, your suspicions were on the mark).

Dear JJ, I think I've learned my lesson now (no more profanity!), after having been blocked oh, 5 times or so. Really, five time's a charm! For real this time, I've learned my lesson, really!

Midwesty, do you have room on your bus for all five of us?

Oh hahahahahohohohoheeheeheeheehee!!!

 This one's the best yet!

 I just noticed that in Niloufar's first post she wrote:

rosie would be the official peace maker

hahahahahahahahahaha!

psych out on me.

ps So, Spear, let's see YOU take it up even one more notch, you rotten Monarchist douchebag you!

No Fear: Bravo!

Even though I think you're a rotten IRI douchebag, your "Let's take it up a notch" post was absolutely brilliant!

Well done, you rotten bach-e-mullah!

Midwesty jan, thank you for that

Very strange, I had that very Cat Power in my ears when I was running tonight.  You do know me some after all :o)

Some fusion for Midwesty, Marjan & RedWine

Capt_Ayhab Jan,

Who? Me? Am I supposed to say something?
I am sorry to tell you that you just nominated yourself to become "father talk" ,the bubbly priest on Robin Hood movie who used to bring tears to even enemy's eyes. Are we supposed to veer off road and wait for the next bus to hold them up?

I know some bad people on this bus who are ready for adventure. I stay here and watch the bus while you guys are at work. ;o)

Thanks Capt_Ayhab jan. You are most kind and well respected as well.

We'll do this again!

Good night to you and all the wonderful gang!

Sayanora!

And my gift to you all

-YT 

You know what folks!!!?

There are times that we can carry the grudge and all, and there are times that we should let down our hair[trust me mine is 5 years long] and just enjoy a creative blog by one of the well respected members of this DYSFUNCTIONAL family called IC.

This blog by Mr. Midwesty is just such an occasion, to lay back and  take cheap  but respectful shots  at each other.

Sad thing is that we do not carry a grudge, Grudge carries us.

Let us grow up.

Dear Marjan,

I don't know if you play chess. Sometimes the situation looks very diar but it is not. Sometimes you sacrefice a Pawn to get a Queen.
I'll take you up on your offer and will send you some my "piece of work". Just remember don't be too harsh.
Regarding a mechanic on board. I remember we didn't hit any bump until you cooked my brain and now you are offering to be our mechanic? You think I am out of my mind? Well... What mind? ;o)
So other than mounting a camera on a tripod what else can you do? ;o)

Red Wine

THANK YOU!

I've copied the list.

Naughty you! Isn't it horrible when they make you sit and go dingelingeling! ;)

Yes, I used to play a few instruments... 

Thank you so much, those recommendations look fabulously interesting. 

In great gratitude

Marjan

Dear Marjan

I can play some iranian musical instrument too because i was a very bad kid (very bazigoosh and i was forced to play it,hehehe)...

I am not very expert about this,i never had a profesor to learn this but you sould read :

-Voices of Islam: Voices of art, beauty, and science By Vincent J. Cornell

-Geometric patterns from Islamic art & architecture By Robert Field

And my favorite :

-El flamenco y la musica andalusi: argumentos para un encuentro By Cristina Cruces Roldan

...

You play any instrument (iranian,non iranian) too ?

Red Wine Islamic Geometric Patterns

Red Wine

Since you play jazz and are evidently familiar with Persian Classical music. I have a question please. 

I watched a series of lectures on "Maths and Music", in particular "The Geometry of Music".

There are several theories and papers about Islamic Geometric Architecture (Al Hambra etc...),  but I've been wondering if there are any studies about this in "Islamic music", which e.g. could explain the ease that it folds into Spanish folklore and PARTLY into jazz.

I'd appreciate any guiding thoughts and links...

;)

Red Wine jan,

I 100% agree. Jazz and Blues are very close to Persian classical music I am glad to hear that from an artist.
Take care bro and see ya soon!
Ciao!

Dear Midwesty

Jazz music is very near to our classical music (sonnati music!), i can feel that each time i play piano or for example an iranian instrument.. Tar or Santoor ! is the same feeling and lovely feeling !

If you have a time,you can listen more to jazz... this kind of music is good specially for nice people like you .

Take care amigo :=) .

Red wine Jan

Thanks a lot bro! I love Jazz. Not very familiar with this particular artist. But like to listen to Monk, Davis and some other older Jazz musicians also like some fusion like Weather Forcast and latin Jazz like Santana. Did not know you could play instruments. Now I know how you get to smell so many flowers ;o). It's wonderful to picture you playing on the Caspian beach and Abarmard and I drowned into our thoguhts starring at the fire while the sun is hiding her face into the sea.
I take you up on your offer. Hope it happens soon.

Cheers!

Well, Midwesty...

I already thanked you profusely several times below, but after our latest roadside stop I'll thank you again. It's been quite a ride. 'Defies comparison'. And somehow I have a strange feeling it may not be over yet...

lol

Dear Midwesty

Thank you so much for that video ...

Do you like Jazz ?! In this moment (when i have a free time,i play[piano and sometimes bass guittar] in a jazz band!) we are playing a song ' How high the moon' , is a cool song by ''Chet Baker'' ...

I dedicate to you... I hope you like it my dear friend.

P.S someday we can play together in Iran with our friend,Abarmard :=) .

Nope, Cap'n...

imho, Maryan's'll do ya for ten of WASTellIt's.  Read and enjoy.

Look like a no go ey?

Looks like I am not gonna get to read Wastellit comment which according to most all was the funniest.

-YT  <<< Pouting and he don't look cute doing it ;-))

ps Midwesty,

here's Azadeh's comment I mentioned below. What I consider 'pompous' and 'self-entitled' about it is to purport to do a specific psychological analysis of someone in public as a professional, and that I also find offensive. What I consider intellectually somewhat off-base is to posit ANY specific psychological analysis as FACT, since there are numerous schools, and anyway I'm not partial to 'feminist' analyses...

but there's something to it...I'm seeing that now...honestly I couldn't understand why you were being called Mid-Islami and provoked such a terrible and visceral reaction among the women on that thread almost immediately...even though it was AFTER you told me to get off your bus,.but now...well, anyway, here's Azadeh's comment. For some of the substance, as opposed to her attitude...which is frankly far less offensive than yours to me...

//iranian.com/main/comment/reply/105518/290228

Thanks Niluo for the Video,

Man, when Dariush had that song I was a Teenager roaming Tehran's street. I liked the ub40 video and Marley's song. Never seen this version of it before.

Thanks!

Oh boy, oh boy,

Midwesty, Midwesty, where do I begin?

 First of all the end of your post read:

We've been through this discussions with JJ many times. I am not sure what the rules are today. Does anyone else know this here? Please read your own writing.

Second, when you write a blog that blog is yours. You have absolute control over it. You can delete it, and you can also edit it to your heart's delight (except that if it's featured that'll unfeature it and then refeaturing or not isn't in your control...)...but unless you DELETE that blog, THE THREAD DOES NOT BELONG TO YOU. It belongs to the community. Pe..ri..od.

And if you don't like that, suggest you begin a concerted campaign along with like-minded souls directed toward the publisher to put a deletion function for the thread of each blog for the blogger. But oh, Midwesty, Midwesty, in the interim I encourage you to flag me to your heart's delight. I am a strong advocate of flagging, as is well known.

And finally, Midwesty, presumably since you directed your last post to me, I was 'allowed' to answer it, right? Or wrong? Oh yeah, and finally finally, just to repeat: you're the one a couple of weeks ago who told Jahanshah (on a barely commented video in the pictory, no less) that as moderator, he should not give opinions on anything. For whatever that information's worth to you or anyone reading this...and however you want to interpret or apply it. 

 siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh..................

__________________________

ps Midwesty, on the boobquake thread, I found Azadeh's (aka the Inspirer as per Marjan) psychological analysis of you to be pompous, self-inflated, intellectually rather off-base, and offensive...but....thinking about it right now, it still warrants a re-reading by you..imho

Anahid jan,

Don't worry dear. Just delete my post with the subject line "Well," and we'll be fine. Just listen to me. It is not worth it. We'll be just fine.

Dear Midwesty, I believe I explained this before

I think in my previous comments, I explained.  Basically for 2/3 weeks, TellIt and WasTellit would comment about most my comments and would insult me and lie.  examples:

Do you think you are like "Hila Sedigi" that puts her life in her hands? WasTelIt and also Ghoorme Chic then sarcastically would write "shaereh,"

In another instance he/she lied about initial content of comments that I had changed so he would ruin my relationship with other IC writers who are also friends. Somehow i think I have explained all this in my previous comments on this thread. There were many other instances but I have limited time to spend on this user/loser TellIt.  Especially since I do not see any outcry from IC community about what happened.  It seems to be even, you and Fozoul Bashi are against removal of WasTellIT comment and I and Rosie are for removal.  It would be nice to know what other IC readers think of what happened.

Was Rosie,

Don't you ever reply to my message if I am not directly talking to you. I was about to delete my last post and I can't now and you know it well why and I know it well why you. I don't want to stir any trouble.

Unless you are Anahid. Are you?

JJ, or Admin,

Please delete my last reply!
