Where am I now?!

I'm currently at :

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

As I've said I'm not closing this blog anytime soon, and I'm just pleased by comments I get from my friends at yahoo 360 ! So I blog there rather than here. Of course, I'll be starting to update this blog too, but it might be some month later. So for now, just enjoy your time here !!!

Have all the fun in the world....

P.S: You can also check my page (profile) at yahoo 360' or my photo albums at flickr.com (Oh! of course personal photos are only available for friends!)

:D mmm...! But I'm not gonna close this blog....

Ok! I'm not writing to apologize for this long delay ( Please don't expect me think any of you read my posts regularly or at all !). But I just want to inform you that although I'm not closing this blog, I'm not gonna have new posts in here for a while. This is not because I won't write blog any more, but that I have two parallel or sister blogs (the other is in yahoo 360) and it's not wise to make a carbon copy of a blog and name it as something else !! So I've decided to refer you to my blog at 360. Of course I won't close this one because I like it so much ! I'm just gonna suspend it for a while until I change it's current still.

I'm waiting for you on my page in 360 at:

See you there. Best wishes....

Sincerely,

Someday out of the blue...

Our GREAT Graduation Ceremony

Graduation Ceremony might seem to be an academic event which is held by each university, college, or any other place which can "Graduate" something (!) at the end of every academic year (depending on that place!). But definitely you'll never be surprise to know that's not the case in most Iranian colleges or universities (including our Shahid Beheshti). At least here we never officially receive ANY help from anyone! Still we collect money, arrange a ceremony, make reservations, schedule events, take care of all the bureaucracy for permissions, talk to many officials (or even beg!), and do all the works at the ceremony (and even after that) by ourselves!

While we are celebrating our graduation after 4 years of pure study and academic work and finally becoming a REAL ENGINEER, some of us kindly accept to be in charge and do all the stuff in cooperation with each other. Although doing ALL the stuff in 24hours couldn't be achieved without the great help and outstanding cooperation of all these great friends (everyone who helped, even myself!! ), but nothing can lessen the value and great effect of both hosts' performance. There were even sometimes which the whole ceremony was in the great danger of being canceled or ruined (especially in the case of some unavoidable confusions), but they did a remarkable job in fixing everything which was more than hard to be done in a LIVE performance.

Therefore, thanks to the Niloofar's (Hoseini) great performance and the fantastic job done by Navid (Oskouipour) our little ceremony was turned to unbelievably enjoyable celebration for all of us. Not only the remarkable self-confidence of hosts, but also their great oral talent was greatly helpful. In spite of some UNPROFESSIONAL criticism, to those who are more familiar with the art of live performance and vital rules obeyed by famous popular experienced hosts (including Larry King) Navid's performance, management, and Prestige was remarkable -even some of my friends believe he should give (professional) talk-show hosting a try! So I'm happy for our faculty to be known as an academic place which is not only in charge and filled by pure researchers (book worms) but also ARTISTS and future LEADERS. And this is too fantastic to be expected of an Iranian university or any other academic non-artistic institute.

Thanks again to all who helped this memorable ceremony to become this fantastic (Special thanks to both hosts and also our kind professors and teachers who made it)

P.S: Maybe it's time for the ENGINEERS of Shahid Beheshti University to separate themselves from the rest, not ONLY by their knowledge, but also by their great taste and understanding of ART (in its all kinds).

The COOL Almighty.... (More Than A Miracle)

If this life really is a game, God definitely is the BEST player! In fact every time I play a life game with God, I end up figuring out that God is the winner. It seems like he is the "All-time Winner" of every game we discover to play. I've already tried too many different games with the life's champion, but no matter how hard I've tried and no matter how smart I've planed the game, God have shown me a new unbelievable trick out of the blue. Sometimes God waited too long for the right moment and place for revealing new secrets of the game science! Sometimes I even have forgot about some of the games which by mistake I thought I've won them all, while God wisely have just remained silent . But even after more than 5 years, suddenly God turns and shows the winning card which always is just like a very high voltage shock to me! I even spend more than days to get over the unbelievable facts.

I've noticed that for every game we play, there is a very important and useful lesson which almost no way other than what God have chosen, can truly make me realize. Lessons that I may even find in too many books or hear from too many people, but I will never realize the true meaning before I experience it in my life and IN MY OWN WAY. Maybe because there is never two or more individuals who are entirely the same, and everyone IS too unique than s/he may ever thinks!

But today, I've realized a huge fact that God has more power than I can even imagine, and this COOL ALMIGHTY can even make me deeply, madly, truly fall in love with God's Self. Its true that God is Almighty just like what every religion ever said, but what they never said or even accepted is that this Dear Almighty is too COOL and ATTRACTIVE to resist!

Few days ago I've thought of something which was somehow related to here's climate, while I would never imagine that the COOL ALMIGHTY can even make it RAIN IN SUMMER! [Can you believe its raining in June 26th!! - especially in Tehran!!] And I can't hide the fact that I'm more than happy that my (maybe ours) dear Almighty is very serious about being COOL (sometimes even in sending miseries! -I've experienced it myself a lot!).

So I've just realized a very COOL FACT which is:
"No matter what I think and do, and no matter what happens in the world, I always can count on a very COOL and KIND ALMIGHTY who will NEVER LET ME DOWN" -That's might be why I LOVE THE ALMIGHTY GOD.

P.S: It never is a game of winning and losing. It always end up all being WINNERS. Maybe there never is a real LOSER. And sometimes I think I might believe in such a thing only because I've never been in some people's shoes who seemed to be surrounded by PURE MISERY. But I end up thinking that it is always possible for every miserable life to reveal a fantastic future for many famous people I've known (who became known for the huge unbelievable change they've made in their life), and it can even happen to people like me! TRUST ME: IT IS A VERY COOL ALMIGHTY OUT THERE FOR EVERYONE.

Alley !

کوچه

بي تو ، مهتاب شبي ، باز از آن کوچه گذشتم

همه تن چشم شدم ، خيره به دنبال تو گشتم

شوق ديدار تو لبريز شد از جام وجودم

شدم آن عاشق ديوانه که بودم

در نهان خانه جانم ، گل ياد تو ، درخشيد

باغ صد خاطره خنديد ؛

عطر صد خاطره پيچيد :

يادم آمد که : شبي با هم از آن کوچه گذشتيم

پر گشوديم و در آن خلوت دلخواسته گشتيم

ساعتي بر لب آن جوي نشستيم

تو ، همه راز جهان ريخته در چشم سياهت

من همه ، محو تماشاي نگاهت.

آسمان صاف و شب آرام

بخت خندان و زمان رام

خوشه ماه فرو ريخته در آب

شاخه ها دست برآورده به مهتاب

شب و صحرا و گل و سنگ

همه دل داده به آواز شباهنگ.

يادم آمد : تو به من گفتي :

- از اين عشق حذر کن !

لحظه اي چند بر اين آب نظر کن.

آب ، آئينه عشق گذران است

تو که امروز نگاهت به نگاهي نگران است

باش فردا ، که دلت با دگران است !

تا فراموش کني ، چندي از اين شهر سفر کن !

با تو گفتم : حذر از عشق ؟ - ندانم

سفر از پيش تو ، هرگز نتوانم ،

نتوانم !

روز اول ، که دل من به تمناي تو پر زد

چون کبوتر ، لب بام تو نشستم

تو به من سنگ زدي ، من نه رميدم ، نه گسستم.

باز گفتم که : تو صيادي و من آهوي دشتم

تا بدام تو درافتم همه جا گشتم و گشتم

حذر از عشق ندانم ، نتوانم !

اشکي از شاخه فرو ريخت

مرغ شب ، ناله تلخي زد و به گريخت ...

اشک در چشم تو لرزيد

ماه بر عشق تو خنديد

يادم آمد که : دگر از تو جوابي نشنيدم

پاي در دامن اندو کشيدم

نگستم ، نرميدم.

رفت در ظلمت غم ، آن شب و شب هاي دگر هم

نگرفتي دگر از عاشق آزرده خبر هم

نکني ديگر از آن کوچه گذر هم ....

بي تو ، اما ، به چه حالي من از آن کوچه گذشتم

My Pray...

نبودی نبودم تو هستی که هستم

به تو تکیه میدم تورو میپرستم

به تو تکیه میدم که عاشق ترینی

که دلواپس لحظه های زمینی

من از تو نگفتم شنیده گرفتی

بیادت نبودم ندیده گرفتی

میخوام مثل آیینه روبروت بشینم

تو رو با تمام وجودم ببینم

بذار روح من با نگات زیرو رو شه

بذار پیرهن آسمونو بپوشه

همه دلخوشی هام گذشت وتو موندی

تو بیراهه هامو به مقصد رسوندی

امیدم به جز تو شده نا امیدی

همیشه تو آخر به دادم رسیدی

نبودی نبودم تو هستی که هستم

به تو تکیه میدم تو رو میپرستم

I've fallen in love with your eyes...

وقتی گریبان عدم با دست خلقت می درید

وقتی ابد چشم تورا پیش از ازل می آفرید

وقتی زمین ناز تو را در آسمانها می کشید

وقتی عطش طعم تورا با اشکهایم می چشید

من عاشق چشمت شدم نه عقل بو د و نه دلی

چیزی نمیدانم از این دیوانگی و عاقلی

یک آن شد این عاشق شدن دنیا همان یک لحظه بود

آندم که چشمانت مرا از عمق چشمانم ربود

وقتی که من عاشق شدم شیطان به نامم سجده کرد

آدم زمینی تر شد و عالم به آدم سجده کرد

من بود مو چشمان تو نه آتشی و نه گلی

چیزی نمیدانم از این دیوانگی و عاقلی…

To who may “Concur”

Have you heard it millions of times,
they say it “To whom it may Concern”?
But I rather the phrase: “To who may Care”
Even if those who may care won’t “Concur”

(Sheyda Beigpour - May 28th, 2007)

When we can at least talk about it...

You can make them come
You can make them go
You can give them your heart
And you can give your soul too

They can lie to you with no hard feelings
And they can easily make you believe
They can paint you a dream life
And they can make you wanna live

They can say jokes making you laugh
But they can’t help making your day
They can give you a key to the Heaven
But they won’t show you the true way

You can try to make them look
But you can’t make them want to see
You can try to make them happy
But you can’t make them want to be

They shouldn’t let you live a dream
They won’t stay with you forever
They can’t keep on making you believe
They can’t help making your life better

You can’t raise them to the top
You can’t make them wanna change
You can’t make them fall down
You can’t make it up to you, with revenge

You can’t make them remember
But still they can’t make you forget
You can’t make them love
But still they can’t make you hate…

(Sheyda Beigpour - May 28th, 2007)

Spring is always the loveliest season in our well ordered universities.

"I was just looking through the window thinking how beautiful spring is. Then I thought how nice is to stay in bed, in a spring morning, while looking at sun rays that pass through the curtains, cast shadows on your bedroom floor and make funny shapes on the furniture. .." - my great friend (and supervisor) Niloofar ==> (P.S: She've said these things to indirectly tell some of our research lab members that she's unhappy they (and I) sometimes attend there late!)

I want to take this chance to appreciate the fact that our hot(I mean the weather!) busy confusing spring is, in fact, unbelievably more beautiful than many things I've ever seen in my whole life and definitely not every other country or city experience such a lovely nature. Although as someone who've got the chance to have the (almost full) view of our crowded huge city with all of its towers and highways right trough the very big window of my room, almost every second I'm at home (I'm always very strict about that my table should always face a window with a full view of the world outside or otherwise I can't work!), I've never got the chance to notice the beautiful view my great friend Niloofar has of my city (Tehran) -I even sometimes think the reason Niloofar loves Iran more than (unfortunately) many of us is the beauty she sees in here, and the great thing is that she is almost right.
Thanks to Niloofar, I've been inspired to describe our actual unfortunate happy everyday lives. To tell you the truth, most of SPRING days for many people like you and I starts at the early morning (5-6 am or even less for some people), trying to mix washing your teeth, brushing hears(if you may do!), and wearing (whatever you can find in the closet which you are able to put on depending on were you are going) all together! You may be lucky enough to have at most 3 to 5 minutes trying to make yourself look better (as a girl or guy), but skipping the breakfast is almost a divine rule of modern lives for most of us. So by that time (in a very optimistic look: something about 6:30am or at most 7am), you are almost ready for your everyday battle of how the hell (sorry!) you may finally get to university (or work?!) this time. Let's skip this almost exciting everyday adventures, and move on with the rest of our days! I don't know about this part of guys' days, but I always wonder how those lovely ladies at the university gates can be hardworking, responsible, and how the hell(sorry again!) the can arrive this early.
Anyway, after usual struggling for almost no reason which we've just got used to it, we finally get the chance to try not to fall sleep listening to our beloved professors' exciting speeches. Skipping the classes, launch and whatever, we've get the chance to work on university projects or things like that (some of you may consider people like me as book-worms or whatever but trust me or ask some of other lab members that at least in some fields or universities there is no other way to pass courses, and the worst is you know in the end you'll just pass not being able to expect good grades). There are people who have to do their university projects themselves, study, exercises, or at least show their presents at many classes they almost hate!
After staying late at university Labs which you can never guess why they are necessary to your field of study, you are almost ready again to the next battle (arriving home).
If you finally get home (let's say something around 8-9pm) you may not skip the dinner as there is still a place next to your laptop or PC to put your plate on it (eating a bit every 10 minutes) while trying to do university works. But to tell you the truth you may show that you love vision more than that by skipping all university matters and reading papers or implementing ideas (you may do them also at university). So in a very usual day, you'll fall sleep at 12. Of course, usual can be defined as never happening, so let's think about more realistic numbers like 1 to 4 am.
Luckily, most of us can still brush their teeth and finding their bed while in sleep. Do you know the what the good thing is?! That you can never love anything more than an alarm clock that use to count seconds way faster than you expect! And that's exactly how (and why) the next happy day will going to be started. Spring is always the loveliest season in our well ordered universities.

One of my all time favorite movie quotes (By a preacher in the movie "Chocolat"(2000) )

"Do I want to speak of the miracle of our Lord's divine transformation? Not really, no. I don't want to talk about his divinity. I'd rather talk about his humanity. I mean, you know, how he lived his life, here on Earth. His *kindness*, his *tolerance*... Listen, here's what I think. I think that we can't go around... measuring our goodness by what we don't do. By what we deny ourselves, what we resist, and who we exclude. I think... we've got to measure goodness by what we *embrace*, what we create... and who we include."

There are 3 types of tragedies in life: 1. not getting what you want 2. getting it 3. LOSING it.

I've just updated that quote. Like it or not that's another way to look at it. I bet soon I'll be able to update it again !!

There are THREE types of tragedies in life. One is not getting what you want, another is getting it, and the last is LOSING it (wondering if losing it was a good thing to happen or not)

P.S: Don't forget that somehow the 3th tragedy is implicitly expressed in the 2nd one, so I just wanted to make it explicit somehow!

It feels So Good...!!

زندگان مرگ آلود

Thanks to Navid, it just came to my mind:

درغبارآلود شب های بی‌ پایان، آسمانم را چراغی نیست
برای باغ پائیزی آشفته تنهایی،‌ زمستانم را بهاری نیست
گویی در این تاریکی‌ زندان اندوه دل خسته ی‌ گمگشته
زندگان نومید مرگ آلود عمرم را، هیچ راه نجاتی‌ نیست

PS: That'll be the first thing I wrote by myself in Persian(Farsi) in this blog !!!

3 TOP REAL LOVE SONGS!!!! :P

In the following, 3 great songs are given which I truly Love. In fact, if they're never can b considered as LOVE SONGS, but I believe most people will LOVE these SONGS very much. So let's call them the REAL love songs:



Listening to some old mp3 files on my laptop, I've found this wonderful song/music by Chris De Burg (I believe listening to this music is way better than just reading this lyric below). It's not only a nice song in general, but also it's full of artistic descriptions and wise reasonings!!

I'm not crying over you
Chris De Burg

I don't mind this empty room, and I like it when I'm alone,
I'm trying not to think about you, I'm not waiting by the telephone,
I'm watching a late-night movie, where the lovers say goodbye,
And it's really getting to me, and tears are in my eyes,
But I'm not crying, I'm not crying,
I'm not crying over you, I'm over you;

I go out with all of my friends, and I'm hardly ever at home,
You know things just couldn't be better,
I have read it in my horoscope,
I might take a walk past your house, for a trip down memory lane,
You may see me at your window, standing in the pouring rain,
But I'm not crying, I'm not crying,
I'm not crying over you, no I'm not crying,
I'm not crying, I'm not crying, I'm not crying over you,
I'm over you;

No I'm not crying, I'm not crying,
I'm not crying over you, I'm over you,
I'm over you.

Elton John
I'm Still Standing
From the Album One Night Only (2000)

You could never know what it's like
Your blood like winter freezes just like ice
And there's a cold lonely light that shines from you
You'll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use

And did you think this fool could never win
Well look at me, I'm coming back again
I got a taste of love in a simple way
And if you need to know while I'm still standing you just fade away

Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
I'm still standing after all this time
Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind

I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah

Once I never could hope to win
You starting down the road leaving me again
The threats you made were meant to cut me down
And if our love was just a circus you'd be a clown by now

Chris Daughtry
Over You

Now that it's all said and done,
I can't believe you were the one
To build me up and tear me down,
Like an old abandoned house.
What you said when you left
Just left me cold and out of breath.
I fell too far, was in way too deep.
Guess I let you get the best of me.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I'm slowly getting closure.
I guess it's really over.
I'm finally getting better.
And now I'm picking up the pieces.
I'm spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you.

You took a hammer to these walls,
Dragged the memories down the hall,
Packed your bags and walked away.
There was nothing I could say.
And when you slammed the front door shut,
A lot of others opened up,
So did my eyes so I could see
That you never were the best for me.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I'm slowly getting closure.
I guess it's really over.
I'm finally getting better.
And now I'm picking up the pieces.
I'm spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I'm slowly getting closure.
I guess it's really over.
I'm finally getting better.
And now I'm picking up the pieces.
I'm spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
Well I'm putting my heart back together,
'Cause I got over you.
Well I got over you.
I got over you.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you.


Chris is a very fresh (and hot!) gifted rock singer who was among top 5 in the "American Idol" last year (season 5). His heavenly voice made him one of todays top artists in the music world. So I suggest you to download his first album "Daughtry" and let your ears enjoy.

Don't you wanna do it their way?!

This morning when I look at yahoo's first page I saw an outstanding news which was about an old Granny's up coming graduation from college, and I thought to myself: "Hey look! If you wanna do something, why don't do it their way?!" (Hey please don't think negative! ). I don't say when you want to do something (no matter what) you have to do it in someone else's way. I'm saying you may get better results not doing it in a normal, natural and regular way! Let me explain it with a few examples:

1. Thousands of very young talented motivated hardworking intelligent students graduate each year, and all most of them get are unemployment, rejection by other universities, military service, domination of bureaucracy on their graduation procedure, depression ,and many other things like them and no one really cares that they're just going to be wasted. But if we really want to be graduated maybe you should do it in that famous Granny's way (no offense, sure she is a living legend to all depressed young and old people).

2. Living in a country like Iran you can always see the big battle of Islamic suit over Iranian's. Sure some of Iranian boys and girls wearings are unsuitable for our society, but trust me it has nothing to do with their safety in spite of what Iran Government believes! I don't want to talk about this subject in this post (I may talk about it in later ones). Anyway, a few years ago I heard French police force prevented some student from entering their universities wearing Islamic suit, and all Iranian channels blamed French government for their offense to human rights! One interesting fact about this is that a few years ago, I was prevented from entering to my own university (where I've studied for about 4 years, and a hard year before that in other to be accepted there) in my own city and country (where I've spent almost 21 years) just because my Islamic suit was not Islamic enough (my overcoat was 3-4 fingers shorter than what it should be!! So that lovely lady at the university gate was able to see my knees inside my pants probably!) So if you want to wear Islamic suit you better do it in France so that you'll be honored in here!

3. Sure you've seen many movies about love and unfaithfulness (even if u really didn't want to see them!) So if you want to break up with someone but s/he never leaves you alone, all you have to do is to stick to that person 24hours a day without letting her/him notice the truth and soon s/he will become sick and tired of you and leave you anyway. Also if you want to have someone for ever you can play unfaithful to them and you'll be all their life! Hey! I was just kidding! These are just stories so don't be fooled!

4. ... (many other examples, and you can even send me your owns!)

So the fact is that you should do whatever you want but "If you play by the rules you'll miss all the fun" or "Just be your own different way, and do what you want"

Sorry for the delay !!

I supposed my blog at yahoo360' to be a twin sister or mirror or something like that to this blog (which just contains my own written posts or just some of very special and important lyrics or words by others), but unfortunately I forgot to update it. I'm really sorry about that but I'm going to make up for it by adding all relatively important posts I've added to my blog at 360' which are written after the previous post here.
So here they are... (Look UP !!)

One of Good customs introduced by our Father ORKUT.com

Through very rare times of my "Orkuting" (surfing the very old but still very famous Orkut.com) I saw a few great customs which are originally introduced by Orkut (can somehow be considered as the old father of many today's virtual societies including yahoo360), but being spread all over the WWW (note that most of these customs including virtual societies existed in the past but they owe their great fame to our Father Orkut.com). From daily horoscope right in your homepage to scraps, the very special look of profiles, friends & communities list, and many other great things. There is also one custom which can be considered as a very good one which is "Sharing our experiences, and life lessons". I wonder why we can't see it here in 360 profile, but I believe Blog can do it better most of the times. Although blog posts are only considered while being very fresh these busy days while words in a profile can last very very long, still a blog post can express many deep ideas, feelings and thoughts way more effective.After all, I'm going to appreciate our Father Orkut.com for spreading these great customs now and then by some posts in my yahoo360 blog. Today I'm going to appreciate this "from my past relationships i learned:" custom, telling some of my owns. So that's it:

from my past relationships i learned:
1. Never fall in Love.
2. Be Careful about Misunderstandings (Can destroy everything in a second)
3. Never ever believe a LIE, even if it's been said by a very logical person (especially if that person believes s/he NEVER LIES!) - Also learned to be careful not to lie about my feelings and thoughts to someone only to make him/her happy 'cause it won't!! Trust me!

Peter's Laws (To hell with Murphy!)

Peter's Laws
The Creed of the Sociopathic Obsessive Compulsive
If anything can go wrong, Fix it! (To hell with Murphy!)
When given a choice -- Take both!
Multiple projects lead to multiple successes.
Start at the top and work your way up.
Do it by the book...but be the author!
When forced to compromise, ask for more.
If you can't beat them, join them, and then beat them.
If it's worth doing, it's got to be done right now.
If you can't win, change the rules.
If you can't change the rules, ignore them.
When faced without a challenge, make one.
"No" simply means begin again at the next highest level.
Don't walk when you can run.
Bureaucracy is a challenge to the be conquered with a righteous attitude, an intolerance for stupidity, and bulldozer when necessary.
When in doubt: THINK!
Patience is a virtue but persistence to the point of success is a blessing.
The squeaky wheel gets replaced.

All we know is : "One disaster leads to another much destroying one."

Some evil people in gun running business having the chance of making more and more money every day, cause countries to fight for no reason, keep killing innocent people, cause too much harm to the environment, make the Earth less likely to be a place to live in, give many psychos the chance to offend the holy spirit of academic places causing human beings to suffer even more.
And instead of even trying to slow them down, sure they're gonna put the blame on many innocent Asian students.
And now the questions are:
Are we president Bush, Ahmadinejad, Taleban or Ben laden?
Are we one of those gun runners, drug dealers, or psychos with inferior complex?
Are we terrorists?
Do we even have anything to do with all these painful & shocking event around the world?
And, what we should really do? "Show some respect and love to those who lost their loved ones"? Praying for our souls? Putting the blame back to those who initially have caused the pain? Trying to change the world??? Or just remain silent as we may have almost no power about it?

Sorry but I'm sad, shocked, and unsure. What can we really do for the victims of all these recent painful event including ourselves?

P.S: We also know that most natural disasters are originally caused by human beings and most painful events in our society are caused by our social understanding and belief. One disaster leads to another much destroying one.

دل دیوونه

چند روزه دل دیوونه
میگیره همش بهونه
آتیشم میزنه هر شب
جای خالیت توی خونه
دل من هواتو داره
دیگه طاقت نمیاره این
این دل همیشه گریون
مثل ابرای بهاره

کی تو رو دوستت داره قد یه دنیا
کی میخواد با تو باشه حتی تو رویا
دنبال جای پاهاته توی شنهای قشنگ و خیس دریا
نگو که رفتن تو سهم منه
دل من طاقت نداره میشکنه
نگو که باید جدا شیم
نگو قسمت من و تو رفتنه

کی تو رو دوستت داره قد یه دنیا
کی میخواد با تو باشه حتی تو رویا
دنبال جای پاهاته توی شنهای قشنگ و خیس دریا
نگو که رفتن تو سهم منه
دل من طاقت نداره میشکنه
نگو که باید جدا شیم
نگو قسمت من و تو رفتن

One Possible Answer - to the previous post : (as many of you nice friends concluded on your discussions with me)

Let's look at the problem in a different point of view which is: If (and only if!) LOVE is that many splendored thing then there should be no LOVE among human beings at all ! Because human beings are way more pathetic and miserable than these things! (They're not used to have something they like)

In fact, no matter how we define something, if we believe it's "a many splendored thing" then it shouldn't be real and ours!! - Murphy(II) !!

In order to come to the above conclusion, I'm gonna use two of my previous posts (accepted by most of you):

Most people have the habit of suffering, even if there would be no sadism in the world they should live this way by the help of their masochism.

Don't forget the fact which "There are two types of tragedies in life. One is not getting what you want, the other is getting it." So, it doesn't really matter we have something we want or not, and it doesn't even matter what that thing really is !

Question: Is Love A Many Splendored Thing?!

Today, I've just couldn't notice that my Homepage at 360' was full of new blog entries and blasts which was all about "LOVE". So, I've taken a moment thinking what the Holy Great word, LOVE truly means. As you may hear it too, some people still believe Frank Sinatra (one of the greatest singers ever) who sang "Love is a Many Splendored Thing". I've decided to figure out who first said those words, and I've searched it over the World Wide Web, and here is what I’ve got.

A few lines from the history: I really had no idea that was the title of an Oscar wining movie back in 1955 (what they gave Oscar to in those days!). One of its soundtracks, "Love is a Many Splendored Thing", won its own Best Song Academy Award (Oscar). The music was written by Sammy Fain, the words by Paul Francis Webster. And from 1967 to 1973, it was used as the theme song to Love is a Many Splendored Thing, the soap opera based on the movie, which has its own long story (you may want to take a look in here to see what people used to watch instead of Friends and 24 in those days! No offence). And that’s where I’ve got the above photo (Sorry that I couldn’t put the original posters of movie and soap opera here, but you can find them in IMDB if you want). As the song itself is way more famous than that movie, you may want to read more about it in here (Of course as you may know, this song has also has been sung by Barry Manilow). I guess it’s enough from the history, so let’s stick to the facts and get back to the original question which I’m sure can’t be answered by that song or any movies and soap operas.

People Sang: I’ve also tried to find some other versions of this song and to my great surprise those versions were really different and maybe more Modern looking to our social believes. Kelly Clarkson in her song named “The Trouble With Love Is”, tried to answer this question in her own way which didn’t seem that immature to me. She believes although “Love can be a many splendored thing” but it also cause you many “trouble” (It won’t hurt much if you take a look at that song below for further information which I’ve found it kind of interesting!). To my greatest surprise about this title, I’ve also found a song named "Love is a Many Splendored Thing", but of course from a very different point of view! It’s full of “Hate” instead of “Love”, and still I think it really deserves its title!

Conclusion: To me, above all, the answer is really depended to whom you ask the question and also strongly to when, where and after which experiences they are questioned. So, I won’t be surprised if I see one day people in my friend list (or elsewhere) say It’s a many splendored thing, and the next second they swear it really “S*cks”! But above all these, I believe a Human Being wasn’t a many splendored thing, if s/he denied hers/his great tendency to get new experiences, the effect of every new experience on hers/his believes, the deep effect of hers/his strong believes on hers/his Life path, and these all above facts in hers/his words.

Frank Sinatra
Love Is A Many-Splendored Thing Lyrics

(S. Fain, P.F. Webster)

[Recorded Januaru 28, 1964, Los Angeles]

Love is a many-splendored thing,
It's the April rose that only grows in the early spring,
Love is nature's way of giving a reason to be living,
The golden crown that makes a man a king.
Once on a high and windy hill
In the morning mist
Two lovers kissed
And the world stood still
Then your fingers touched
My silent heart and taught it how to sing
Yes, true love's
A many splendored thing

[2]----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kelly Clarkson
The Trouble With Love Is Lyrics

Oooh oooh, ooooh yeah, mmmm...

Love can be a many splendored thing
Can't deny the joy it brings
A dozen roses, diamond rings
Dreams for sale and fairy tales
It'll make you hear a symphony
And you just want the world to see
But like a drug that makes you blind,
It'll fool ya every time

The trouble with love is
It can tear you up inside
Make your heart believe a lie
It's stronger than your pride
The trouble with love is
It doesn't care how fast you fall
And you can't refuse the call
See, you got no say at all

Now I was once a fool, it's true
I played the game by all the rules
But now my world's a deeper blue
I'm sadder, but I'm wiser too
I swore I'd never love again
I swore my heart would never mend
Said love wasn't worth the pain
But then I hear it call my name

(The trouble with) The trouble with love is
It can tear you up inside
Make your heart believe a lie
It's stronger than your pride
The trouble with love is
It doesn't care how fast you fall
And you can't refuse the call
See, you got no say at all

Every time I turn around
I think I've got it all figured out
My heart keeps callin' and I keep on fallin'
Over and over again
This sad story always ends the same
Me standin' in the pourin' rain
It seems no matter what I do
It tears my heart in two

(The trouble with love is) The trouble with love, yeah
(It can tear you up inside) It can tear you up inside
(Make your heart believe a lie) Make your heart believe a lie
It's stronger than your pride

(The trouble with love is)
It's in your heart
It's in your soul (doesn't care how fast you fall)
You won't get no control
(and you can't refuse the call)
See, you got no say at all

(The trouble with love is) Oh, yeah
(It can tear you up inside)
(Make your heart believe a lie)

AFI
Love Is A Many Splendored Thing Lyrics

Ah!
You think you've got the looks,
you think you've got the fashion.
You thought you'd have me wanting more,
but don't like my reaction.
You think you're really something.
You're nothing to me now.
You thought you'd keep me coming
without ever thinking how.
I hate you.
I hate you.
I hate you.
I hate you.
You think you're really special.
You think I think you're best.
You think you're really something?
You're no better than the rest.
You've got everything you wanted.
Don't let yourself be fooled.
You thought that you could play the game,
but I just changed the rules.
I hate you.
I hate you.
I hate you.
I hate you.
I hate you.
you!
Why do I hate you.
You think you've got the looks,
you think you've got the fashion.
You thought you'd have me wanting more,
but don't like my reaction.
You think you're really something.
You're nothing to me now.
You thought you'd keep me coming
without ever thinking how.
I hate you.
I hate you.
I hate you.
I hate you.
I hate you.
I hate you.
I hate you.
I hate you.

A Star Every Second?!

A Star Every Second

Sky is covered by shinny Stars tonight
With every falling star making me think of you

Shinning bright, your eyes in the sky
May I spend the rest of my life thinking of you?

With every wonderful word you’ve ever told me
For that look in your eyes, each second I give a star to you

I wondered if those starts would be mine again
And I know they always are, as long as I think of you

I’ll give one star to your true love for me
Every second I’m gonna give a star just to you.

‘Cause they say I should be nice, even thinking of you!
And I guess I should use stars, writing my words for you

So for each second of my life, I’ll give a star
For each word I’m gonna use just and only for you.

One star for that you s*cked happiness out of my life
One star for that you s*cked away life out of me
One star for that you ruined everything I had
One star every second, I’m gonna give it to you

One star for that you s*cked away my soul
One star for that you s*cked love out of my world
One star for that look I’ll never forget
One star for every lie, for every “I love You”

And now my dear friend, I’ll gonna give one star
Each and every second, just and only to you…

I see sky’s been covered all by your stars, and do you think
I’m gonna spend the rest of my life, thinking of you?

My Masochism for your Sadism.

Caution! Don’t skip these following lines just because they are too long or have been written by me or…! If there is only one thing which we all need to really think about is the following, and you may even enjoy and like it. OK! Let me begin with telling you a short story:

Not so long time ago two friends of mine were pretending that they are going to fight! One of them picked up a heavy book (I'm not sure whether it was CLRS or not) and tried to hit the other one on the head, so the other friend asked him why he wanted to hit him. The first guy said it's because of his "Sadism" and so the other one said: "But for that you still need me having Masochism!!"
Oh this doesn't mean they were gay (although I'm not sure if they are not!) because we actually use these two words in none sexual context in Iran. To those who might not know, in Iran, Sadism only means enjoying hurting others, while in reverse, Masochism means having pleasure in being subjected to pain or humiliation, or so they say. But the actual point is that the second gay…Oh! I meant GUY actually...yes! The second guy, he was totally right about that. In fact he was actually talking of a big fact, which I call “Self-strength”! Something like self-confidence mixed with a cup of power and a bottle of consciousness would make it perfect! Yes he was absolutely right, in most cases others’ Sadism could not do anything to us without our Masochism (in their Iranian or non-Iranian meanings!).

In fact, since no one on Earth will cares about us more than we can do, it’s actually up to us to protect ourselves from everything (including those we care about). So as it would be fool to sit close to a lion who haven’t eaten for weeks, and say “Hey! Please don’t eat me!” (In a rare case of “Lafcadio” a good reason and attitude would do, but don’t be sure about that, since I’ve also tested a “Lafcadio”!), it will be ridiculous to expect a criminal don’t shot you just because it’s not Right! You can always say things like “Don’t hurt me!” or “You should not hurt me” or even “You can’t hurt me”, but they may still do that. And if it’s not Right that someone murders you in cold blood! But you must also consider the fact that it shouldn’t even matter to you whether they’ll gonna take him to the jail for that or not, if you are already murdered by him!

What I mean is that although you maybe able to PROVE that what somebody did to you was totally wrong, and he really shouldn’t do that, or terms like “Didn’t have the Right to” or even “Didn’t intend to”, but this may not give you back what they’ve already caused you to lose. So instead of expecting others, even good, trusted, loved, kind or… ones, not to hurt you (in any way that they may be able to), you’d rather really “DON’T LET THEM TO”. And I bet you it will work in the most cases (not in all case, but still is great!).

And my one last word is for those “others”, including those “good”, “trusted”, “loved”, “kind”, or even “GENEROUS” ones, which also may include you and me (as we are “others” to the others) : “Don’t hurt others (in anyway) just because you don’t INTEND to do that”. Please always remember: “Not intending to”, “Not wanting to”, “Not planning to”, and above all “Not knowing”, are never gonna be an “Excuse” for ANYTHING.

OK! Enough Preach! Let’s get back to life, where we all live in it!

P.S: And also sorry about that advertisement at the first paragraph! I was worried you might skip this text from the beginning!

Special Thanks to those two Friends. You gUys were really helpful.

Man In Black

Well, you wonder why I always dress in black,
Why you never see bright colors on my back,
And why does my appearance seem to have a somber tone.
Well, there's a reason for the things that I have on.

I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down,
Livin' in the hopeless, hungry side of town,
I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime,
But is there because he's a victim of the times.

I wear the black for those who never read,
Or listened to the words that Jesus said,
About the road to happiness through love and charity,
Why, you'd think He's talking straight to you and me.

Well, we're doin' mighty fine, I do suppose,
In our streak of lightnin' cars and fancy clothes,
But just so we're reminded of the ones who are held back,
Up front there ought 'a be a Man In Black.

I wear it for the sick and lonely old,
For the reckless ones whose bad trip left them cold,
I wear the black in mournin' for the lives that could have been,
Each week we lose a hundred fine young men.

And, I wear it for the thousands who have died,
Believen' that the Lord was on their side,
I wear it for another hundred thousand who have died,
Believen' that we all were on their side.

Well, there's things that never will be right I know,
And things need changin' everywhere you go,
But 'til we start to make a move to make a few things right,
You'll never see me wear a suit of white.

Ah, I'd love to wear a rainbow every day,
And tell the world that everything's OK,
But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back,
'Till things are brighter, I'm the Man In Black.


Man In Black

Journey to the Planet X

Report#7784: Living Among Human Beings
(Planet Earth - Part 309)

Agent 0815-856411-24

I’ve been in so many different places, and I’ve seen so many different things. But I’ve never been in any place stranger than the Earth and never seen any creature stranger than Human Beings [report#7475]. You never believe it, unless you’ve seen it for yourself. It’s not only famine in the land which all those oceans and forests made it look green and blue, but it’s also all those human beings on that which caused this abandoned Land to look this strange. One can write thousands of significant facts and stories about this planet (as what I’ve tried to do so far), but those creatures are always everywhere. They have many laws, facts, reasons, and also Fate [report#7648] to make them look and act that stupid. There are also too many factors involved in everything related to them. Mood [report#7750] and Time are two of the most significant phenomenon matters to them.

Spending time with a human being is just like being trapped in the wonderland among with creatures wearing masks –you’ll never know who’s who, and what you should expect to happen next. In fact, that was the hardest and most dangerous mission I’ve ever had during this long Journey. And after all that I’ve done so far, still I didn’t finish my mission on The Earth. There is still so much I don’t know about human beings, and I know there is so much I’ll never going to understand.

It’s not just those things they like to say about themselves that they fight for peace or hate to love. That’s even much more than you can even imagine. There are few examples of those many strange things I’ve seen about people so far.

The first thing I’ve noticed about them is that although they have come in many different colors and shapes, they’re always concerned about changing their look and yet they’re all look the same! They say they’re divided to two main groups: those who think they are lucky and those who don’t (some call it “Winners and Losers”). But no matter in which group they are, they’re all the same. In fact, they are so obsess about change and difference that they talk in thousands of languages, live in hundreds of Countries [report#7539], have many styles, Races [report#7541], Religions [report#7541]. But still they all try so hard to learn one specific language, live in one or few special countries, dress in one style, respect one race and religion! I just can’t figure it out what all these differences about when they’re not going to have them?!

The second is their reasons. You’ll never know why they do something. During my long presence on the Earth I’ve seen People wanting to help some they’re his/hers main problem, making friends they’ll can’t stand, lie without needing to. They may even sing for someone they’ll forget in a few weeks or less. They say, write, sing, and do many other things to show something they don’t believe or they don’t even care about. I’ve once seen someone refused to talk with her Boyfriend [report#7745] on the phone so that her parents won’t notice their relationship, and later she used to call her friends for long time to increases the phone charges so that her parent won’t notice they’ve broken up. I’ve seen people too busy doing nothing. I’ve seen people abandon their country, language, family, friends, and every other thing and then they say they love them.

As it seems enough for this report, I’ll write the rest in the next one as usual.
