Depressed!?

You can analyze a system by looking at the action and reaction between elements inside it or just observing those relations with other systems outside.

Human beings are amazing creatures by themselves, I agree; but there are some drawbacks to them when you consider the actions and reactions of it as a system. Let's approach it from another point of view. Human beings have got two states: wake and sleep. No need to talk about sleep state cause there is no worthy sub states to be mentioned. In other hands, in wake state there is lots of sub states worth to mention.

In order to simplify those sub states, I set a definition rule named 'Need' to define the sub states. Wake sate of human beings can be basically subdivided to at most number of hands fingers. One needs something to eat, something to wear, someplace to stay, someplace to defecate and someone to mate. You can simply gather all other minor needs like rest, shelter, or live in someplace to stay. Although now we can not imagine ourselves nude in public but also something to wear keeps us warm and protected.

I think still these five basic needs rule the human being life. There is no there needs and if there is, they are artificial. There is no place foe creativity or motivation for a pure goal. There is no ideal way for leaving. All the moves are somehow toward satisfying those five, even these writings somehow and that’s the bothering!

Nowruz نوروز


Celeberation and happiness are necessary for the life of each normal and hopeful human being. Additionally, paying attention to the beginning of the year has a meaning its meaning is for us to know that a year of our age has been finished and another year is beginning a year is gone and another year is coming. It is to remember the gone year and evaluate our goodness and bad behaviors it is to plan for the coming year and to think for goodness. It is obvious that all these behaviors should be accompanied with good well intentioned and benevolent emotions as well as happiness and hopefulness.

300 Cartoons about Persia



I lately saw the 300 movie trailer. it bothers me some how. I planned to write about it after I see the movie. Today in a weblog I read something about it and i liked the idea. here is the link and the content:

300 the movie is an ongoing collaborative art project featuring art by
artists using the theme of 'ancient Persia'. Driven by an admiration for arts,
and united by a common concern about the barbaric and demonic portrayal of
Persians in Frank Miller's graphic novel and
the movie 300, we have come
together to voice our objection in a uniquely artistic fashion. The call for art
has just been released and the initial gallery will soon be set up. If you are
an artist and would like to participate, please send your art to submit at
300themovie dot info .You can join the growing list and link to us by copying
the following line of code on your blog or website.

Living In a world like that

His interests are in writing in the disciplines and professions, international writing instruction, writing assessment, and the history of writing instruction in education--all from the perspective of cultural-historical activity theory and genre systems theory. Recently He has been creating and researching online multi-media case studies as environments for writing to learn.
There is two Quotations from him:

The hardest thing to learn in life is which bridge to cross and which to burn.

We live in a Newtonian world of Einsteinian physics ruled by Frankenstein logic.

Voices in my head



This is an album from a Polish rock band called Riverside. After some years of listening to different music now I can say I like another band and that’s Riverside. I heard another album from this band called Second life syndrome. It is another good album but I am fond of writing about Voices in my head.
This album consists of 8 tracks. The last 3 tracks are live performances. I think of them as just some filer tracks to make the time of album in the standard value for releasing; although this cause do not effect the tracks in any way. Each track has a unique feeling for me. It is hard for me to express my feelings- and that is why I did not write about The Dark Side of the Moon Live- but I quote a few statements about each track below:
  1. Us: freezing the joy of being together in your mind
  2. acronym Love: Eating pills to sleep but the dreams will disturb you more
  3. Dna Ts. Rednum Or F. Raf: I can't understand the title but I like the music very much. It is just like the times I go to bed and everything -happened or will happen- attack to my mind and I try to escape from them.
  4. The Time I was daydreaming: regret from the result of challenge between telling the truth and face the reality or just pretend everything and try to keep the situation as is.
  5. Stuck Between: it is begun in a style very similar to Aviv Geffen but what a pity it is more electronic than progressive.

Some feelings need music to be expressed


Time

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine
Staying home to watch the rain
And you are young and life is long
And there is time to kill today
And then one day you find
Ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun

And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter
Never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to nought
Or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone
The song is over
Thought I'd something more to say

Live!


Thanks to all my virtual friends in internet society; after 10 days with no real music around, I listened to a live acoustic performance of Steven Wilson in Tel Aviv.

After Listening to almost a lot of studio recorded albums, I enjoyed very much this live performance with different mood and strange performance, full of fun and improvising and engaging audience. I can not guess the atmosphere of the place but the performance just reminds me of those friendly parties we had at our 20s.

In my opinion the interesting thing is that you can hear a dozen of porcupine tree songs just in pure rhythms with the lyrics. I almost drowned in the whole coloring of songs music and each individual instrument –if I can- that I forgot the lyrics. Sometime Steven mentions some point about songs and other stuffs like using fifteen guitars in blackest eyes. It is awesome particularly when you hear "Feel So Low" with Aviv Geffen performing a part in Hebrew-I guess.

Anyway there are a couple of songs Steven says he needs a piano to do them. We wait for a piano acoustic performance.

One more thing, I can't get what he says at the end of each song, if any body knows, I will be much appreciated to know that.
