The Comedy we play in

Yesterday was the impeachment of Iran's interior minister, A live comedy that i can't miss.
He was so under pressure and stressed that he could not read correctly the text typed on paper in his hands. He also had lost the line once that the Members of Parliament told him that he had read those before. When reached to the final defense before voting he had nothing to say to the question set in front of him and just filled the time with none of important material.
I totally recall the impeachment of Mohajerani and that was a real defensive speech. May be changing the building of the Majlis is the main reason for the changing the strategy of the new ex-minister.

And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

RICHARD WRIGHT - 1943-2008

It is with much sadness that we bring you the news that Richard Wright passed away today (September 15th), after a short struggle with cancer. It goes without saying that he will be greatly missed.

Tributes to Richard have been arriving here from around the world, as news reaches fans. He was much loved, and respected, and the shock and sadness within the Pink Floyd community at his sudden passing will reverberate for some time. It has been very difficult to come up with appropriate words to recognise Richard and the huge part of our lives he became. A very sad day...

We know that you will join with us in offering our deepest condolences to his family and friends.

For you, a thousand times over

“There is only one sin, only one. And that is theft. Every other sin is a variation of theft. Do you understand that?When you kill a man, you steal a life. You steal his wife’s right to a husband, rob his children of a father.When you tell a lie, you steal someone’s right to the truth.When you cheat, you steal the right to fairness. Do you see?”

The Kite Runner is a book interpreted into movie. I saw the movie recently and may read the book later. Homayoun Ershadi was my only reason to see the film. He played Baba in the movie. The context of the film was so fine that I forget the Ershadi's acting and devoted my attention to a very good film and story.

The above quotation is from Baba told his son a philosophy in a very simple way. A very minimalistic sentence from a man in a very complicated country.

The title of the post is a phrase from two characters of the movie. they tell this in joy and ran out of the story.

Arthur C. Clarke

As the Clarke Foundation reported:

March 18, 2008
After a prolific and esteemed career, Sir Arthur has passed away in Sri Lanka

Once Sir Arthur Quoted:

I'm sure we would not have had men on the Moon if it had not been for Wells and Verne and the people who write about this and made people think about it. I'm rather proud of the fact that I know several astronauts who became astronauts through reading my books.

That I want to borrow and say it was a great opportunity for me to live when a man like him was alive even though I couldn't see him in person.

Lessons!

Last night I was reading one of my friends` blog in which he had written about the lessons he learned from his previous relationship. I read it again and almost agree with it But still asking why ...

In this country, most of the girls are the same... No matter what they say, no matter what they do, they just aim for one thing... Some of them say little lies, some say BIG lies, both just for the same achievement; "MARRIAGE"... In my case, she used the version named : "Massive Huge Lies"... For her, only her goal was important, neither me nor the relation, And I'd done much more than she deserved, but I won't be the fool anymore... It was not too hard to reveal the real she, but after I knew the truth, it nearly killed me... As an old saying says : "What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Stronger", it didn't kill me, but helped me to know these deceiving creatures a little bit more... So Don't try to know your girl by what she says when she's in your arm... Know her by what she does during harsh times.

Rapid eye movement

This is the latest Riverside Album.
Here is the lyrics of third track

Riverside - 02 Panic Room

Used to be my Panic Room
The other side of me
Where I slept and woke by turns
And nothing seemed real

I was feeding on your life
Peering through the hole
And it scared me out
Someday
You would knock on my door

Sweet shelter of mine
I'm freezing without
Sweet shelter of mine
I'm dying without

Cover up my twisted thoughts
Shattered all around
Muffled sounds
Recurring dreams
Melatonin smile

Used to be my 302
The other side of light
Trap of my own
That helped me deal
With what I lost inside

Sweet shelter of mine
I'm freezing without
Sweet shelter of mine
I'm dying without
Sweet shelter of mine

I've tried to make self-portraits before
But they always turn out so contrived
I've spent too much time
Correcting light and shade
Hiding wrinkles
Blurring scars

I've tried to make self-portraits before
Through my eyes
Just see myself
Now I know
I'm not in denial
That I need someone else
To see me
