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.

Starting Gun

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.
