I came across the blog "Vizard of the Vestside" quite by chance (okay quite by surfing aimlessly on the Net instead of doing the research I was supposed to do!). It is written by a thirty something Iranian-American based, where else, in Vestvood (or maybe in the general area). I read a few entries and I found his writings quite funny and totally relatable, at least for me, another thirty something living in Hell-Ay. Posting the site for any of you who may like to check it out:
