It is interesting to read peoples comments here and there and after a while a got a bit curious about who those people were?
So therefore I would like to know a little bit about you, e.g. what do you do? How old are you? Where do you live? What do you work with? What is your education? What are your hobbies? And so on etc....... I know this can be too personal for some people, but I thought some people might like it...
For example, I'm 27, born in Iran, left the country when I was 5, now living in Sweden, Stockholm. Currently I'm working for Sweden's DoD, I got a M.Sc. i CS, I like jogging and spend a lot of time with my soon-to-be wife in our house :) Also last time I visited Iran was 11 years ago...

by Paykar on Sat May 14, 2011 04:28 PM PDTAziz, we all are to a certain degree ethnocentric, it truly is a universal phenomenon. Our tribal loyalties of a time, long past has not been impacted in a meaningful fashion by all our progress in modern social ( structures ) and technological advances.
when I was in 9th grade, we used to play 21( by randomly selecting a couple of pages and adding the left digits together...)for money, in the back of the class during certain subjects. One day I get caught along with this kid who was actually Mazandarani ( I was considered a transplant), so I get called to the front and get punished by a stick like four times ( two on each palm; this poor guy gets like ten of them; all the time the teacher telling him; why you? Oon Pdersookhteh Ahle shahmirzad-e, Onha Hamashoon Fased Hastand! You should not be tempted by him!
P.S. Mash Ghasem Jon thanks for the link, I liked it right away because of not seeing the other three usual faces along side Marx:)

Like to team up with our IC friends here and start to “buy things up” in US.

See you in a few hrs:)

by Mash Ghasem on Sat May 14, 2011 03:23 AM PDTPaykar jan, your 'radioactivity' is well understood homey. Me thinks me read some of it this morning, on "Inquiring Minds and how they Wanna Know!" National Inquirer, indeedly!
It would be nice to have a blog on Carlin, I miss him very much.
FYI, and don't let anyone else except two of us know about this, regardless of what happens on this earth, I will retire in Iran, around Caspian sea, not gonna tell you which side though. There's more than one way to skin a cat!
P.S. Have you seen or heard about " Andeeshieh va Paykar" site?

by Paykar on Sat May 14, 2011 03:02 AM PDTWill ever get to go back? My brother went back over 10 years ago, he seems to be content. He has no contact with anyone!
The part that I said I am sometimes radioactive is really true. when I, in the near future, do my last post( aside from comedy and music), it will make sense.
Mashti, I missed Carlin twice, can you @#$% believe it? Had tickets both times.
There is a 4 hrs interview with him; if you are interested, I can dig up the link for you.
Hope to go back one day; that's for both, actually for all us who want to but can't for whatever reasons.
If non Iranians are allowed
by Rea on Fri May 13, 2011 06:54 PM PDTRea, short cut for Irena. Live in France, not French, 50, failed intelectual, into translation, happily divorced.
Now, life revelations.
Not only divorce is expensive but if you're a woman you also find out that car mechanics, electricians and plumbers are shamelessly expensive. Particularly, if you live in an old farmhouse that's falling apart.
Furthermore, either you put your miny skirt on, or no bones for your dog. Of kors, it only works if your village butcher is 55+. And you're vegetarian. Imagine. ;o)
In the end, may get back together with my ex, he's good at fixing things. Free. He's also good at getting bones from the butcher (don't ask, don't tell).
We'll see.
Enough for now, cheers. ;o)

I am getting addicted to this place too. I have written my epitaph, will post it in the near future( there is so much wonderful music I like to share with others), and then I will really be over and out.
All the best.
P.S. I hope you make your goals. The items I mentioned help with increased secretion of Human Growth Hormone.

by Roozbeh_Gilani on Fri May 13, 2011 01:51 PM PDTIn my case it wasn't the accent as I was born and raised in Narmak, but my parents were gilani and rather proud of it, hence the rashti thing. But it was very friendly fun, as most of my friends were children of "sherkat vaahed" employees who lived near by and were azari or Kurd in origin.
You know I have had less scientific approach to my training, focusing more on consuming enough callories (but less volume) to meet my trainining needs. currently my target is to run for 20 miles, cycle 100 miles and swim 3 miles a week which is just under the total for an iron man race. But i am regularly falling short due to family and work commitments, not to mention IC. But you are right, I need to fix my diet better to at least get my muscles oppurtunity to repair themselves. Quite often I am aching too much to do any practice

by Paykar on Fri May 13, 2011 01:15 PM PDTGrowing up, mostly in shomal(Shahi), every time we would visit relatives in Tehran, kids would make fun our accent. They would call us Rashti. I would be honored to have been from there.

by Bavafa on Fri May 13, 2011 01:01 PM PDTI won't say any thing on that subject, but can not stay silent about this;
"I strongly believe in a classless sociey, yet I live in a gated community in US, the heart of capitalism.... "
Which I find myself in the exact same situation, have never got comfortable with it yet carry on as if I am in my dream place.

by Roozbeh_Gilani on Fri May 13, 2011 12:51 PM PDTThat's what they called me at school back in narmak.
I am an anti_imperialist, anti monarchist, but I studied my doctor mohandesi at "Imperial college", Right behind "Royal albert hall".....
I strongly believe in a classless sociey, yet I live in a gated community in US, the heart of capitalism....
I have been training for the ultimate triathlon event, the Iron man for years, yet less than a month short of my 40th B'day, i wonder if I ever will be able to complete this race....
But above all, I am looking to the day when my beloved country Iran is free of Islamist fascism, when I'd leave the gated community, dream of completing Iron man behind me, take myself, my wife and my four boys back home to Iran, to my people with all their faults and vulgar footbal chants and build together a society free of exclusive colleges, gated communities, poverty, ignorance and superstition. build and leave behind for future generations a society and a country to be truely proud of. Every cell in my body lives for that day.....

Faramarz besyar aziz, I said almost all
by Anahid Hojjati on Fri May 13, 2011 12:48 PM PDTby the way, why are you objecting. Last week, you wrote that you were in love and she is kind and giving and does not shop and does not talk on the phone, etc. So according to your own account, you are taken too. Now, don't do with Bavafa what you did with Doctor Mohandess. Poor guy, I don't know what you advised DM to do that he is now totally gone from IC.
Since all the Good Ones Are Taken!
by Faramarz on Fri May 13, 2011 12:10 PM PDTCousin Mehrdad,
Since you are among the best here and come from a good background, you should spread yourself around a little bit more and let Anahid and other eligible femme fatales here get a taste of the real honey!
Ok?
Don't answer, since I already know what you are going to say!
Merci Anahaid jaan, you are kind :)
by Bavafa on Fri May 13, 2011 11:36 AM PDTMehrdad
Bavafa jaan, too bad that you are taken :))
by Anahid Hojjati on Fri May 13, 2011 10:33 AM PDTIt looks like the good ones are almost all taken. But I actually already knew that you were married. You had also talked about your love of mountain climbing and flying. As a matter of fact, in the beginning, I thought you were a distant relative of mine since one of my parents has a cousin that is married to someone with this last name.
I am nearly 50 and happily married.
by Bavafa on Fri May 13, 2011 09:48 AM PDTLeft Iran, right after service and the last time I visited Iran was at least 7-8 years ago. My hobbies were all sport related but mountain climbing was the biggest priority till I met my wife. I earn my living as an engineer in IT related field, enjoy building/fixing things at home and my recent project was building a plane in my garage and now enjoy flying it and take trips with it. I do dream of one day flying it to Iran but with these gas prices but more importantly with current environment in Iran, it will be very unlikely.

PS.S. Paykar jan you're the best. Why do I feel I'm back in highschool in here?
I'm a mother effer, son of a patriotic bitch
by پندارنیک on Fri May 13, 2011 08:54 AM PDTI am a Perrrrrrrzhen rug which gets only better after being stepped upon. I'm your wine, only improving with age. I am your punching bag, coming back faster the harder I'm hit.
I am a firm believer of the Great Revolution of '79, who knows that nuclear technology is our national right and legal property.
What do I do for a living? I ponder. I ponder simple questions of life, such as:
If I'm only an "I" how come you are more than a "U"?
I Am a Neanderthal!

I am a modern man
by Paykar on Fri May 13, 2011 01:18 PM PDTI am radioactive at times - honestly; I am hanging tough, over and out.
//www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkCR-w3AYOE
"I'm a modern man, a man for the millennium. Digital and smoke free. A
diversified multi-cultural, post-modern deconstructionist that is
anatomically and ecologically incorrect. I've been up linked and
downloaded, I've been inputted and outsourced, I know the upside of
downsizing, I know the downside of upgrading. I'm a high-tech low-life. A
cutting edge, state-of-the-art bi-coastal multi-tasker and I can give
you a gigabyte in a nanosecond!
I'm new wave, but I'm old school and my inner child is outward bound.
I'm a hot-wired, heat seeking, warm-hearted cool customer, voice
activated and bio-degradable. I interface with my database, my database
is in cyberspace, so I'm interactive, I'm hyperactive and from time to
time I'm radioactive.
Behind the eight ball, ahead of the curve, ridin the wave, dodgin the
bullet and pushin the envelope. I'm on-point, on-task, on-message and
off drugs. I've got no need for coke and speed. I've got no urge to
binge and purge. I'm in-the-moment, on-the-edge, over-the-top and
under-the-radar. A high-concept, low-profile, medium-range ballistic
missionary. A street-wise smart bomb. A top-gun bottom feeder. I wear
power ties, I tell power lies, I take power naps and run victory laps.
I'm a totally ongoing big-foot, slam-dunk, rainmaker with a pro-active
outreach. A raging workaholic. A working rageaholic. Out of rehab and in
denial!
I've got a personal trainer, a personal shopper, a personal assistant
and a personal agenda. You can't shut me up. You can't dumb me down
because I'm tireless and I'm wireless, I'm an alpha male on
beta-blockers.
I'm a non-believer and an over-achiever, laid-back but fashion-forward.
Up-front, down-home, low-rent, high-maintenance. Super-sized,
long-lasting, high-definition, fast-acting, oven-ready and
built-to-last! I'm a hands-on, foot-loose, knee-jerk head case pre-
maturely post-traumatic and I've got a love-child that sends me hate
mail.
But, I'm feeling, I'm caring, I'm healing, I'm sharing-- a supportive,
bonding, nurturing primary care-giver. My output is down, but my income
is up. I took a short position on the long bond and my revenue stream
has its own cash-flow. I read junk mail, I eat junk food, I buy junk
bonds and I watch trash sports! I'm gender specific, capital intensive,
user-friendly and lactose intolerant.
I like rough sex. I like tough love. I use the "F" word in my emails and
the software on my hard-drive is hardcore--no soft porn.
I bought a microwave at a mini-mall; I bought a mini-van at a
mega-store. I eat fast-food in the slow lane. I'm toll-free, bite-sized,
ready-to-wear and I come in all sizes. A fully-equipped,
factory-authorized, hospital-tested, clinically-proven, scientifically-
formulated medical miracle. I've been pre-wash, pre-cooked, pre-heated,
pre-screened, pre-approved, pre-packaged, post-dated, freeze-dried,
double-wrapped, vacuum-packed and, I have an unlimited broadband
capacity.
I'm a rude dude, but I'm the real deal. Lean and mean! Cocked, locked
and ready-to-rock. Rough, tough and hard to bluff. I take it slow, I go
with the flow, I ride with the tide. I've got glide in my stride. Drivin
and movin, sailin and spinin, jiving and groovin, wailin and winnin. I
don't snooze, so I don't lose. I keep the pedal to the metal and the
rubber on the road. I party hearty and lunch time is crunch time. I'm
hangin in, there ain't no doubt and I'm hangin tough, over and out!"
