The 7th Imam and knee high boots!

What the fuck is these people's problem?! Did Mousa Kazem (the 7th Imam) ban wearing of boots over pants? Who the hell came up with this idea? >>>

گفتگوی حسین درخشان با کیهان خیالی

حسین، جواني است پرنشاط و کلّه شق، سخت كوش، غیر فداكار و غیر وفادار ولی کمی باهوش... از دوران بچّگی در مکتبخانهء نیکان در جوار فرزندان بزرگان نظام پرورش یافت و آیت الله ... در نخستین فراش، برایش صیغه عقد جاری کرد، امّا بدلیل همان نا پختگی های جوانی، غیر وفاداری و کلّه شقی مفرط، دل از دامان اسلام برید و به آغوش باز فرهنگ غرب رفت؛ حسین درخشان نویسنده جلد دوّم کتاب «ناتوی فرهنگی» قرار است به جمع ما در کیهان بپیوندد، از نبوغ و هوش او در این فضای مجازی کسی نیست که چیزی نداند>>>

I am going to break these walls

I am going to break these walls
I am going to be the fuel of fire
Watch me dancing seductively
I am the flame of a wild burning candle
These nights are begging…
Begging for my heat

These long kept emotions are begging
Begging for me to set them free >>>

Me and Persian businesses

Persian culture has never ceased to surprise me. Ever since I came to Los Angeles, the number of such cases has increased exponentially!!! And so has been the fun of ever increasing shock! When I first came to Los Angeles, I learned that Iranians are an integral part of the business in the society. Any normal person would think:” Oh wonderful! I'm sure people of my land are more sympathetic, as we experience the same feelings in exile.“ Alas I was so damned wrong! I don’t want to bore you by going through the details of my unfortunate events with Iranian-based businesses, so I confine myself to the world of beautification.>>>

بالاخره روسپیان مارکز قربانی شدند

اخرین کتاب مارکز در سال 2004 با سر و صدای فراوان در نماشگاه کتاب بوگوتا در کلمبیا رونمائی شد هرچند از یکی دو روز قبل از آن میشد نسخه قاچاق آنرا با دو سه هزار پزو ارزان تر در مرکز شهربوگوتا از دست فروش ها خرید. کتابی است حدود صدو چند صفحه که روایت عشق پیرانه سر مردی نود ساله است به جمال معشوقی نو جوان و باکره و اثرات این عشق در زندگی به بیراهه رفته او. نوعی عرفان یادآور شیخ صنعان عطار است البته به زبان مارکز و ذهنیت کارائیبی او و لزومی به تاکید نیست که مارکز\ پورنونویس نیست.>>>

Uncertain future

For the past few months, a plan has been going around in the Presidential Office in Kabul, as well as the corridors of certain Western foreign ministries. Some Western countries have reached this conclusion that they must sit at the negotiating table with Taliban in Afghanistan, and reintegrate some of the more moderate forces of this group into the current Afghani government’s political structure. The officials of these western nations have even succeeded in convincing Afghanistan’s President, Hamed Karzai, to consider this plan. Britain is possibly at the forefront of designing and promoting this plan>>>

Subprime loans, my foot!

That subprime fiasco, which is likely to mount losses between one-half and one trillion dollars, is just a small part of the true real estate problem which little by little is starting to take shape; a problem that Wall Street, politicians, economists, and the public at large have been unwilling to talk about, much less confront. And that is, the multi-trillion dollar excess valuation of real estate in the nation, in both residential and commercial markets; something which for the next 3 to 5 years, at a minimum, will have the US immersed in a recession, a modified version of the one experienced in Japan throughout the 90's and the first 2 years of the new millennium.>>>
