IT IS WORLD CUP TIME

For these days, we‘ve counted days and months for about eight years. We are eagerly waiting for what we experienced in France 98 world cup.
I remembered the night we won the match against USA; streets were packed with people who celebrated until late midnight
That night Iran’s leaders sent messages and congratulated this winning against Iran’s biggest enemy! But the only thing that was not important for us that night was this kind of views to a national victory. We celebrated only for our first victory in a world cup match.
And after 8 years we are preparing for celebrating our next victories in 2006 .

===========

Another prediction from yasser nostradamus :

we will beat all of our opponents and Final match is between ...

IRAN vs. BRAZIL ;)

any objection?

--------

Update:

First match :

we lost first match (mexic3-1 Iran) , we were grate first half , but because we were played only with 10 players (our 37 years old captain was only walking during match) so we lost the second half ,but we are not disappointed yet because we still have 2 match and our captain (Ali Daei ) injured yesterday (thanks god ;)

Second match:

we lost second match too (Portugal 2-0 Iran) and eliminate from world cup. but we still have another match with Angola and we have only one choice to hope that at least we could defeat Angola .

Third match:

it was a boring match:( (Angola 1-1 Iran)

I am smarter!

Mr. President of Iran gets permission! to write a letter to Mr. president of United States .the letter was fulfill with moral and religious teaches for Bush but beyond the letter I think was an important message to U.S and Europeans.
“We finally conclude that its better we negotiate with you instead speak indirectly with you from your European allies. so we are ready to negotiate”
most of the world expects answer of United States to this request: "They want to negotiate with you why you are hesitating?"

Ok, now it is turn of united stat to act, their response was this: "We are ready to join direct multilateral talks with Iran on its nuclear programme if Tehran suspends disputed nuclear activities. "

Iran for about 2 years when Mr. khatami was president of Iran suspended all its enrichment activities but united state didn’t accept to negotiate directly. but now that Iran halt suspension and its propaganda for Iranian says "we never accept any suspension ", I think it is a good trick to drop the ball in iran 's field but I pessimistically think is also an unfair trick to flee from a diplomatic solution on Iran nuclear dispute .

My predictions:
Iran will not accept 5+1 incentive proposal simply .but I also predict in next few month Iran and US finally seat on one desk! (Sorry if the sentence is wrong!) and negotiate after about 30 years .

Conspiracy Theory

1-Iranian Azeris complain to a cartoon which published for children in a newspaper. They claim the cartoon insulting Turks and Azeris people .so for days cities of Azerbaijan province were in chaos.
So another newspaper crack down and cartoonist and editor pf newspaper arrested! More…
2- There were such revolts (ethnic) a few months ago in Arabs and Kurds cities also.
3- A group that claims! Fight for Baloch people rights capture innocent people in far away roads and killed them.

All I see from these tensions more than everything is a conspiracy of foreign intelligence services , they are try to arouse ethnic groups in Iran , a dirty decision for dividing Iran and all because Iran wants being maverick in the world, a silly attitude in modern world .

Hard days are expecting for me

A) These days I tried didn’t care to news, I didn’t read any newspaper try to avoid every thing which keep away me from other aspects of life.
These days I eagerly and regularly!? go to university for the last days ( I'll graduate in the few next weeks) .I also watching 3 or 4 movies every days and I try didn’t think to vague future .
B)if I didn’t write more like before on this weblog it is only because no new subject Blinked to me .everything that I decided to write about it seems that I wrote about it before however here is not as fresh as before !!
I try to keep update my link dump, my link dump consists news and posts on other weblog which are interesting for me so I share them with you to read (thanks Google reader)

Awareness

I asked my friends: "Are you agree with the the council which choose supreme leader of Iran?" I added that ”the council which consists from 6 clerics? "
I confidently could say that more than of tow third of them didn’t object to my question that “your question is wrong supreme leader elected by Assembly of Experts?”

--------------------------

These days my mind preoccupied by this question? How much people must be aware about their government and who they elected as their leaders?
I believe people more than everything like have an easy and comfortable life in a secure society without any interruption with political tensions?
But how they must observe and supervise activities of their reprehensives in government?
Surely media have a big responsibility about it.(last night finally I saw "All the president’ men).
I recalled about 8 years ago , coincide with election of president Khatami that more newspapers published as he came to office , hardliners criticized this policy and express free media bring more chaos so they try to bring more limitation to media and regretfully they was successful.

All of us are responsible to prevent a new war

These days I see many articles and posts on blogs and even many videos about possible attack to Iran.
I really don’t understand why a new war is amazing for you (me?) .all of us knew about consequences of war.
so what ? Are you missed for moments that you sat on your couch and while drank your hot coffee and watch CNN which covered crossing of coalition soldier through desert?
Are you missed?
I guess many people in the west never heard horrible sound of a missile when it explode .
but me and my generation heard its sound when we were only between 2 or 3 . we’ve learned counting because we must count explosions to found when Iraqi fight planes exhausted form dead full bombs or you never being worry about does last explosion hurt any relative or not ?

So please only once go and only heard a real explosion then begin to predict dose we must attack or not? Or maybe when you heard the sound you conclude that must join to an anti war movement.
I think everybody who didn’t try to refrain a war is responsible for all lives in the war.

Ordinary man wants to be different

Favorites of mine of characters are persons like Dustin Huffman in Rain man Or characters of J. D. Salinger like Holden Caulfield and Glass Family. The geniuses with IQ more than ordinary people, who found vain of many subjects and interests in the world and suffer form Hypocrisy in their society .
I think smart characters are adorable by everyone because all of us assume that we are intelligent and genius.
But today I want to admitted that after 23 years I found I am not genius ,I am like you with normal IQ (sorry Einstein) or you are like me ,ordinary man.
what about my EI* ?
But I also wish to be different with others. But how I could be when my IQ is like others? Maybe being jolly makes difference or Seclusion or even being clumsy (ordinary man did not want to be clumsy)...
So what makes differences? Thinking like nobody?
*These days Emotional intelligence really takes my time, i think about it and its affect on my life for many hours)

When Mr. President fooled me!

This morning
All newspaper published : "very good news about nuclear program for Iranians in coming days" Mr. Ahmadinejad says.
i was glad and thought that finally everything will be ok and negotiations with u3 finally wrap up in a win-win condition.
Thanks Mr. President you avoid a war cause of a future of Iran you will be as a hero in history.
Tonight
it is a big ceremony, all official gather in a big salon to hear good news from Mr. president. All channels of national TV (how painful is living in a country with only governmental and restricted media?) and radios cut their programs and show this historical (they said) ceremony live.
“I officially announce tonight that we could enriched uranium until 3.5 percent so from now we are 8th member of nuclear club” Mr. President said

What? It was your very good news, but what about deadline of Security Council .don’t you have any good news about it. Maybe enrichment of uranium was important for many people but a modern Iran in peace , good relationship with the entire world and no tension is more important for me.
Why we must always be in tension in iran?

We prayed , they closed heaven doors

After years I decided experienced climbing mountain what many people in holidays experienced it in Iran, but a horrid fate anticipating us.

All member of our small group were purely 100% armature due to we decided climbed to highest point of the tough mountain!

but suddenly everything changed to white and only when i closed my eyes i saw another color ( black) , for about half of hour we confined in a heavy snowstorm with thunder and lighting in the highest mountain of Tehran .snow covered footsteps of mountaineers so even we don’t know through which way we must go. Those moments I think all of us found a supreme power in my minds so we walked and asked him/her to survive us.

So dark cloud ceased dropping his harvest to us and we survived.

*One of member of our group suddenly slides down on the rigid rock but ...

Don’t worry everything is ok (thanks god).

*we walked continually for about 11 hours.

*I am regret that why I did not take more picture of those moments (maybe because my hands were frozen)

*I wrote this post to record this memorable day and to remember always this fact that I have a god.
