اما اگر واقعا خوش شانس باشید می شه با پشت گرمی اش آینده رو ساخت

Lost in Translation


در این درگه که گه گه که که که که شود ناگه
مشو غره به خود که از فردایت نئی آگه
"Anonymous"

In this court that mountains turn into dust and dust turns into mountains on a sudden,
don't be too proud of today, when you know nothing of your tomorrow.

Word Abuse

It reminds me of the following conversation whenever I see the emphasis on the WORD "African-American" instead of the WORD "Black". I wish Americans could use "Black" properly in the first place!

"Cartman (trying to be nice to Kyle): Kyle, all the times that i called you a jew, im sorry, you're not a jew.
Kyle: (thinks) No I AM a jew."

"The South park movie"

Zoro who?

"Zohreh pronunciation" for not so dummies:
Z as 'ss' in "dessert"
o as 'oh' in "oh my God"
h as 'wh' in "who?"
r as 'rh" in "Rhodolite"
eh as 'e' in "resume"

If it is still difficult for you to pronounce my name, please feel free to call me Z as 'z' in "Zzyzx".


PS1. Zohreh is the Persian word for the planet/goddess Venus.

Man and Animal

If animals and combinational circuits did not lack historical memory, they were men and sequential circuits.
"myself"



PS1. Source of the image: Internet
PS2. "Man and Animal" is also a Sadeq Hedayat's book

Where the sea and the sky get together...


.. is top of the world.

This illusterates why Sadeq killed himself...


In life there are certain sores that, like a canker, gnaw at the soul in solitude and diminish it.
در زندگی زخمهایی است که که مثل خوره روح آدم را آهسته در انزوا میخورد.

"The blind owl", Sadeq Hedayat

To see or not to see ...

Tavakkalto Ala-Allah (1)


In God we Trust .. because our moms tell us not to trust people.

In God we Trust .. because there is no other way! if you dare, next time ask her/him(2) for cash, too.

Nowadays, Americans do not trust in God as they used to.. I blame credit cards!



(1) Arabic version of "I trust in God"

(2) I've followed alphabetical order not to violate genders equal rights! I like Farsi for not being sexist.
