When even David goes green....




Florence goes green for Iran.
The sympathy that people around the world show for Iran really flatters me.

Canadians & Politics

Today,in the corner of Bloor and Yonge, there was a table set up with a poster hanging from it that read “Hitler with a smile”, which was basically Obama’s picture with a Hitler-liked mustache. They were giving out brochures. I really didn't bother to go to talk to the people at that table as I was coming back from a work meeting and was too tired.
I don’t wanna get into whether I agree with such comparison or not. But what amazed me was that I see Canadians care more about American politics that politics in their homeland. I have never seen people set up a table in middle of Toronto criticizing Stephan Harper or any other government official.
Yes, whatever happens in US effects us directly. But so does our own governments. I’m planning to vote on elections from now on. What’s the point of having a democracy if you don’t use it?

Sanctions

And they say sanctions on Iran are not working:

Kiosk, Scandinavia and Racism

New video by Kiosk:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ie5qP1lDE_8
I love both Kiosk & Namjoo. They are some of the few Iranian artists after revolution who actually "work" on their music. The video is not that bad. I specially love their cloths.But the video itself seems kind of boring. Anywho I love the song, and the cloths, so this video gets 4.5/5.

--->( the video is actually from Saya Nova's " Colour of the pomegranates". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Color_of_Pomegranates" . The video is beautiful on its own, but I guess it just doesn't go with the music)
Another thing: It amazes me how alot of the good Iranian musicians are Iranians who live in Scandinavia: Laleh, Abjeez or even Arash ( I really don't consider Arash a good musician... but none the less his songs are worth hearing a couple of times). For whatever reason Scandinavian countries seem to be working for Iranian artists. I was thinking it would be a good idea to charter a plane from LA and have those cheesy pop singers live there for a while.

Scandinavia oh Scandinavia, how I’d love to go there… sigh… I remember when as a kid I looked at pictures from Sweden and Finland, thinking those lands are the most beautiful landscapes in the world, envying their gorgeous traditional dresses, wishing I lived in their suburbs… I ADORED Europe as a child, right now maybe not as much, hearing all about the racism there and all…But as “dokhtar lor” says: “tehroon, tehroon ke migan shahre ghashangie, ama mardomesh bade” (This is a very famous quote from the first movie in Persian language,http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lor_Girl, in which a simple village girl from Lur tribes goes to Tehran, and when asked what she though of Tehran she replies”Tehran, Tehran has such beauty, but people there are horrible”). So yeah… europa, europa ke migam shahre ghashangie, ama mardomesh badan.
Then again as a child I never liked China that much... it didn't seem that interesting to me but now as a grown up I'd love to visit there sometime just because I had pleasant interaction with Chinese people in Canada.

Randomness

  • I basically did a lot of shopping today. Not that I bought many stuff, but I spent a lot. It’s not my fault, everything is on sale and I really didn’t shop that much this summer. I bought some massage bar and a foundation & paid big $. I’m not proud of myself. With the economic situation like this it is not a good idea to generously spend $55 for a foundation.
  • I really would like to stop reading the news on Iran. It makes me utterly depressed and sad. But I can’t help thinking about Iran and what’s going on there now.
  • I’m taking a summer course. I was going for an A+ as my GPA was pretty low during school year. But I’m still on a B. I don’t know what is it with me & B. For whatever reason it seems I haven’t been able to go beyond B for the last couple of yrs. It kind of sucks.
    * I am addicted to youtube. I literally log on youtube every hour or so when I’m home. I really don’t know what I did online before I found youtube.
    I remember we first bought a compute I was 12 or something, and after a while I found out about chatrooms (LOL). I remember thinking what did I do with computer before that? Another great moment in my life was finding out about messengers! Then social networking website like Orkut, Facebook, etc. whenever I found one of these great creation of human mind (!) I thought to myself what did I do before this?
  • I was reading somewhere that teens today are having less sex. This link (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/27/health/27well.html ) says that it has fallen by 7% compare to 20 yrs ago (not that I was a teenager then, but you get the point!). I believe teens today are certainly very educated about sex, but not necessarily are doing it. Interesting....
  • I’m thinking about getting a new hair cut. I get tired of same style very fast, and I have been keeping my current style for at least 8 months now. Time for a change? I’m open to suggestions!

I have meant to start to a blog for a long time, since I was 12 or something. I actually did make another blog a long time ago, made a couple of entries and finally just gave up. I don’t remember the address so I decided to start this one.
This blog will reflect my personal thoughts, from makeup and beauty, to politics and personal relationships. I will post in English and Persian.
