The Newlyweds (16)

Firoozeh slapped Shahab in the heat of the argument and he then called 911

Dear Mrs. M., You may have heard about me from your niece Firoozeh. I am her dear old friend Maryam and I am faxing this letter to you after several attempts to contact you via telephone. I think perhaps you are out of town for a few days. Anyways, when you get this letter, I beg you, on behalf of Firoozeh, not to contact her father and share the following news with him, at least not yet. Firoozeh is afraid for his ill health and the shock that this turn of events may have on him. You, who have been her confidant for many months now, will perhaps take this news with more aplomb, as horrible as it may be. Firoozeh is currently in jail. She was arrested a few days ago and charged with domestic assault and battery. Of course, we both know she is innocent and it is her bastard of a husband, if you would please forgive my rudeness, who has set her up.>>>

KIOSK

More please

Clearly the investment in a quality studio and finally coming out of the basements and home recording studios has paid off

The thing I love most about Kiosk, is their predictable unpredictability. Just when you think you have them pegged.To jump right in, the thing I love most about Kiosk, is their predictable unpredictability. Just when you think you have them pegged, that they are going to shift from what you know, they shift off into a different direction dragging you not so much as surprised, but gladly so behind them. You're like a late entry to a long conga line at a wedding and you only have enough time to ask the person in front of you, "Where the hell are we going?" Whether done on purpose, or merely a haphazard result of the free creative process, Kiosk's latest album, "Global Zoo" takes us on the wildest ride yet. Stretching our imagination over the span of rock, blues, tango, waltz, and dare I say country western, and urrrp the long thought dead Disco!>>>

گاهی اوقات
قطره های شک
می بارند بر زمین باورم
و گیاهان امیدم آفت می زنند
فکر می کنم
چه فایده داشت
اینهمه وجین کردن دل؟ >>>

بشنو از من تو این سخنان تنگ               که شد تنگ بر ما این سرای دِرَنگ

بعد ازآن حملهء پُر نهیب عرب                  کُل ایران تهی شد از اهورا و شد پُر ز رَب

همی گشت بر ما سالیانی دراز             بشد از رنج و سختی جهان پُر نیاز

Taming my Animus
by Azadeh Azad
15-Nov-2008
Once upon a dream, a stream of senses surges in my bone
I feel a danger, a stranger chasing me in a forest unknown.
I waken and know it is you, my spirit, inner man
imprinted in my soul.
 
If possessed by you, your rigid voice of irrational lore
becomes the law of my world. Thus knowing you
and taming your bents is the key to my wholeness. >>>
