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!

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 namedThe 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

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?
