tindersticks - rented rooms

We can go there now if you want to
Through the doors of that rented room
Yeah, we stumbled through
It was only hours
It seemd such a short while
We had no time to cry
Or sit and wonder why
We had so many things started to say
We had to get through
We tried the cinema
Within half an hour
We had to go find someplace else
Some more. . . you know
We tried a drinking bar
It gets so very hard
And when the cab ride gets too long
We go fuck in the bathroom

We can’t afford the time to sit and cry
Or to wonder why
We’ve got so many things started to say
We had to get through

Through the doors of that rented room
Yeah, we stumbled through
We had so many things started to say
We had to get through

We can’t afford the time to sit and cry
Or to wonder why
We’ve got so many things started to say
We had to get through
We haven’t got the time for telling lies
Or to even try
There’s only days in between
There’s just tomorrow

Through the doors of that rented room
Yeah, we stumbled through
It was only hours it seemed such a short while
In those pillows all the feathers that hold all our dreams
Whispered at the scene
Now they just seem to float on a breeze
I could have wrapped that pillow around my head
Face down on the bed
I could have drowned in those so-called dreams

Be Mine!

This David Gray guy sometimes steal the words from my mouth:

.
.
.
Come on baby its ok
Rainy shiny night or day
Theres nothing in the way now
Dont you see
Winter summer day or night
Centigrade of fahrenheit
Baby till your heart belongs to me
Thursday friday short or long
When you got a love so strong
How can it be wrong now mercy me
Jumpin jesus holy cow!
Whats the difference anyhow
Baby till your heart belongs to me

stine

you know what they say. friends come. friends go. but there are some you just have to hold on to. Wherever they, or you may be. for me stine is one of them.

stine ill tell you this here, you one of few who made me grow up and forced me to look at new horizons. ill never forgot what you told me last night. and I realize how right you are. that love is the immortal constant of our existence. It is just the same everytime we meet new poeple ....
It is the people whom are different.
I'm glad you have found your love and i wish your experience to be worthwhile and fulfilling.

I placed my footprints on the sand today.
only to see them wash away
again and again.

commited to speak out!

I've always had problems with the word "commitment".
Its a slippery subject for people in relationships. slippery and fearful. I've had my share of slips with it believe me. We all seek it. Everyone. Its how we look at individualy that's importantl. At least for sustaining any serious relationship.

I've come to notice that people in the west think it is selfish to impose commitment on anyone. The (general) belief is that if its going to happen then its going to happen. Easterners on the other hand like to look at it as self imposed and default, with a much lower threshold level.

Anyhow that's not what I wanted to get into. At least not right now. What I really wanted to say is that why is it when it comes to relationships we become so pessimistic? We tend to see only the emtpy half of the cup. Why don't we look to ourselves first?

Why not talk about "devotion" before we think of "commitment"?

blindness

sometimes I forget the bias in people. the aura we accumulate in lifes journey. we enter relationships with dispostions and we exit with even heavier loads.
at times we seek perfection and unwarrented affection.
at times we surrender our souls, unhesitating.
other times we gaze right through the unending mirrors of our inner selves.

and all the while we travel in fog, exuded from the horrors of a trivial destiny.
a known destination.
a quest with resolute burden.
one whoms reward has the sweet enticing taste of tribulation and pain.

I take a deep breath...a shallow sigh and push forward.

Feeling strange

Some music make you feel kinda strange, you don't know whether they make you happy or sad, whether they remind you of your nation's history or remind you of your country's current misery. All I know, they are part of Iranian culture and they touch my soul in a very unique way.

Parisienne Moonlight - Anathema

::you can listen to this song here::

I feel I know you
I don't know how
I don't know why

I see you feel for me
You cried with me
You would die for me

I know I need you
I want you to
Be free of all the pain
You hold inside

You cannot hide
I know you tried
To be who you couldn't be
You tried to see inside of me

And now I'm leaving you
I don't want to go
Away from you

Please try to understand
Take my hand
Be free of all the pain
You hold inside

You cannot hide
I know you tried
To feel...
To feel...

Beh Azin

Our lost was great. A great man is not among us anymore. One who tried to teach, tried to accept the ignorance of people and tried to guard the freedom.
peace be upon him.

power to the people

Strolling down commercial drive , the slogan of a local bank caught my attention.

"people before profits"

then I thought of my own version

"people before prophets"
