And it's all thanks to you &lt;em&gt;sandtank&lt;/em&gt;... yep, good old Johannes True, who's a good old chap (lol). What was it ... 15 years ago?! I had just moved to a new school, and I didn't know anyone. You know what it's like to be the new kid ... But Joey True was there... and so was Ayush, and Yang, and Sameer, and Rahul.. I became instant friends with Johannes- we were best friends for the next 5 years, when I left for back home, and so did Joey.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have so much catching up to do. It's been fifteen years, and we have each gone different ways. But before all that, it's awesome to remember all the memories from 15 years ago. We chatted the other day, and remembered some of those good old memories... My stomach hurt from laughing so hard... Man, we were lunatics back then... hahahahah... So much for good old days...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22695755-5365419432176339565?l=sandtank.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sandtank.blogspot.com/feeds/5365419432176339565/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22695755&amp;postID=5365419432176339565&amp;isPopup=true' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22695755/posts/default/5365419432176339565'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22695755/posts/default/5365419432176339565'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sandtank.blogspot.com/2007/05/i-found-old-friend-on-net-last-week.html' title=''/><author><name>sandtank</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09434259506972613427</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22695755.post-116664152812025847</id><published>2006-12-20T15:01:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2006-12-20T15:05:28.146-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Bi-hess</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;This is the lyrics to my favorite Iranian rap song "Bi Hess" by Zedbazi.

type='text'>A thousand and one things to talk about.</title><content type='html'>1. Ahmad joon made the front cover of TIME magazine. Inside is a whole, detailed article on the attack strategies the US will have to use if there's to be a war with Iran. Everything is thought of. All is planned.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. UN's general debate took place last week in New York. Iran's president had a lecture on the first day of the debate. UN has put the videos of the presidents and leaders of different countries' speeches on its website. You can watch the videos in the language the spokesperson was using, or, the English translated video. Iran's video had two links: English and ARABIC!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THE UN THINKS IRAN'S LANGUAGE IS ARABIC! I checked the website again today, and they have changed it from "Arabic" to "Original Language". Stop worrying about the ignorant civilians! Stick to the UN first!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. I had a thousand and one things I wanted to talk about, but I'm running out of time here. School has started once again and I'm as busy as hell. But this time I'm trying to keep a balance between life and school, and I'm happy with it so far.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22695755-115947688007861259?l=sandtank.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sandtank.blogspot.com/feeds/115947688007861259/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22695755&amp;postID=115947688007861259&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22695755/posts/default/115947688007861259'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22695755/posts/default/115947688007861259'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sandtank.blogspot.com/2006/09/thousand-and-one-things-to-talk-about.html' title='A thousand and one things to talk about.'/><author><name>sandtank</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09434259506972613427</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22695755.post-115766664061896165</id><published>2006-09-07T19:04:00.000-03:00</published><updated>2006-09-08T13:11:34.610-03:00</updated><title type='text'>The stranger</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;The stranger was determined to show that his culture was worth more than all the labor of the men and women in the bar. He pointed to a print hanging on the wall:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Do you know what that is? It’s one of the most famous paintings in the world: &lt;em&gt;The Last Supper&lt;/em&gt;, painted by Leonardo da Vinci.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;“It can’t be as famous as all that,” said the hotel landlady. “It was very cheap.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“That’s only a reproduction: the original is in a church a long, long way from here. But there’s a story about this picture you might like to hear.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everyone nodded.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“When he was creating this picture, Leonardo da Vinci encountered a serious problem: he had to depict Good -in the person of Jesus- and Evil –in the figure of Judas, the friend who resolves to betray him during the meal. He stopped work on the painting until he could find hid ideal models.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“One day, when he was listening to a choir, he saw in one of the boys the perfect image of Christ. He invited him to his studio and made sketches and studies of his face.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Three years went by. &lt;em&gt;The Last Supper&lt;/em&gt; was almost complete, but Leonardo had still not found the perfect model for Judas. The cardinal responsible for the church started to put pressure on him to finish the mural.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;After many days spent vainly searching, the artist came across a prematurely aged youth, in rags and lying drunk in the gutter. With some difficulty, he persuaded hid assistants to bring the fellow directly to the church, since there was no time left to make sketches.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/267/2313/1600/da-vinci-last-supper-copy.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/267/2313/320/da-vinci-last-supper-copy.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/267/2313/1600/da-vinci-last-supper-copy.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The beggar was taken there, not quite understanding what was going on. He was propped up slightly, opened his eyes and saw the picture before him. With a mixture of horror and sadness he said:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I’ve seen that picture before!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“When?” asked an astonished Leonardo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“ ‘Three years ago, before I lost everything I had, at a time when I used to sing in a choir and my life was full of dreams. The artist asked me to pose as the model for the face of Jesus.’ ”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was a long pause.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“So you see, Good and Evil have the same face; it all depends on when they cross the path of each individual human being,”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He got up, made his excuses, saying he was tired, and went up to his room. Everyone paid what they owed and slowly left the bar.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22695755-115766664061896165?l=sandtank.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sandtank.blogspot.com/feeds/115766664061896165/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22695755&amp;postID=115766664061896165&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22695755/posts/default/115766664061896165'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22695755/posts/default/115766664061896165'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sandtank.blogspot.com/2006/09/stranger.html' title='The stranger'/><author><name>sandtank</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09434259506972613427</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22695755.post-115747898468899699</id><published>2006-09-05T14:50:00.000-03:00</published><updated>2006-09-05T14:56:24.706-03:00</updated><title type='text'>in the middle of the night, i was thinking of a blog</title><content type='html'>You wake up in the middle of the night... you need to go to the bathroom... while you're in the bathroom, suddenly an inspiring moment takes place, and you come up with an awsome idea, for a blog.

A part of you says that something this strong will never be forgotten, so why go throuth the trouble of turning on the lights and getting a pen and paper and not be able to go back to sleep afterwards? you'll remember it...

Sandtank, you're almost SIX months old! happy half-anniversary! Man, I &lt;em&gt;never&lt;/em&gt; thought I could keep up a blog for six months... actually I never thought I could keep up &lt;em&gt;anything&lt;/em&gt; for six months...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During the past six months what I put in my blog has changed quite a lot. I started off with mostly writing my feelings and thoughts, in English. After some time, I started adding some Persian posts to here and there, and Sandtank became kinda bi-lingual (put that in your resume, Sandtank. It's gonna earn you some extra points). For me it was really difficult to type in Farsi, so I gave it up and went back to English.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After some time, I came up with the idea of writing posts in Farsi, Scanning and uploading scanned images. This way, I'd practice my Farsi writing every now and then, along with posting in Farsi (having ur cake and eating it too).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't have too many viewers here, so to you dear reader, who's reading this very line right now, I appreciate your time and I hope you liked my posts. I don't like to turn my blog into a whorehouse and add a dozen links to other weblogs in order to have them add me to their lists. I prefer if only people I know read what I write.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, all the best to you sandtank, I am looking forward to celebrating your sixth anniversary!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22695755-115704827366072909?l=sandtank.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sandtank.blogspot.com/feeds/115704827366072909/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22695755&amp;postID=115704827366072909&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22695755/posts/default/115704827366072909'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22695755/posts/default/115704827366072909'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sandtank.blogspot.com/2006/08/sandtank.html' title='Sandtank'/><author><name>sandtank</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09434259506972613427</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22695755.post-115704745806845763</id><published>2006-08-31T14:15:00.000-03:00</published><updated>2006-08-31T15:04:18.886-03:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;"To the one who understood her task and her purpose.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;To the one who looked at the road ahead, and understood that it was a difficult journey.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;To the one who did not make light of those difficulties,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;but, on the contrary, made them manifest and visible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;To the one who makes the lonely feel they are not alone,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;who satisfies those who hunger and thirst for justice, who makes the oppressor feel as bad as the oppressed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;To the one who always keeps her door open, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;her ears listening, her hands working, her feet walking.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;To the one who embodies the verses of another Persian poet, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;Hafez, when he says: Not even seven thousand years of joy are worth seven days of sadness.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;To the one who is here tonight, may she be one with all of us, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;may her example multiply, may she still have difficult days ahead, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;so that she can do whatever she needs to do, so that the next generations will not have to strive&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;for what has already been accomplished.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;And may she walk slowly, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;because her peace is the peace of change, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;and change, real change, always takes time."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;(Message from Paulo Coelho to honour Shirin Ebadi at the Nobel Peace Prize Ceremony, Oslo, December 11th 2003).&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;No don't get me wrong here.

I leave here the purest of my hopes as a builder and the dearest of those I hold dear. And I leave a people who received me as a son. That wounds a part of my spirit. I carry to new battlefronts the faith that you taught me, the revolutionary spirit of my people, the feeling of fulfilling the most sacred of duties: to fight against imperialism wherever one may be. This is a source of strength, and more than heals the deepest of wounds.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;I state once more that I free Cuba from all responsibility, except that which stems from its example. If my final hour finds me under other skies, my last thought will be of this people and especially of you. I am grateful for your teaching and your example, to which I shall try to be faithful up to the final consequences of my acts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;I have always been identified with the foreign policy of our revolution, and I continue to be. [...] I am not sorry that I leave nothing material to my wife and children; I am happy it is that way. I ask nothing for them, as the state will provide them with enough to live on and receive an education.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;I would have many things to say to you and to our people, but I feel they are unnecessary. Words cannot express what I would like them to, and there is no point in scribbling pages.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;Ever onward to victory!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;Homeland or Death!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;I embrace you with all my revolutionary fervour.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Che&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22695755-115515656747752431?l=sandtank.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sandtank.blogspot.com/feeds/115515656747752431/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22695755&amp;postID=115515656747752431&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22695755/posts/default/115515656747752431'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22695755/posts/default/115515656747752431'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sandtank.blogspot.com/2006/08/che.html' title='Che'/><author><name>sandtank</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09434259506972613427</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22695755.post-115455676239263904</id><published>2006-08-02T19:11:00.000-03:00</published><updated>2006-08-02T19:12:42.403-03:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://static.flickr.com/79/205200755_52da6aed91.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left;

He has a certain, mysterious, masochist look in his eye that you also see in &lt;em&gt;Fight Club&lt;/em&gt;. That look that says: “beat the shit out of my face and I wouldn’t mind. As a matter of fact, I’d kinda like it”. A, boyish, just turned into a man, look. And he is born in 1969 (37 years old). &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Hey if you know movies similar to this one, tell me about them ok?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;And no, I don’t mind watching movies from a few years ago… I like to watch a movie when its heat is down… so I can judge it personally…&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22695755-115262965286531551?l=sandtank.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sandtank.blogspot.com/feeds/115262965286531551/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22695755&amp;postID=115262965286531551&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22695755/posts/default/115262965286531551'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22695755/posts/default/115262965286531551'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sandtank.blogspot.com/2006/07/25th-hour-2002.html' title='25th hour (2002)'/><author><name>sandtank</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09434259506972613427</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22695755.post-115203707192755523</id><published>2006-07-04T15:17:00.000-03:00</published><updated>2006-07-04T15:17:58.870-03:00</updated><title type='text'>Good news</title><content type='html'>I received very, very, very good news today…&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Let’s just leave it at that&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Good job sandtank!&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Things are starting to work out!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22695755-115203707192755523?l=sandtank.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sandtank.blogspot.com/feeds/115203707192755523/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22695755&amp;postID=115203707192755523&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22695755/posts/default/115203707192755523'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22695755/posts/default/115203707192755523'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sandtank.blogspot.com/2006/07/good-news.html' title='Good news'/><author><name>sandtank</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09434259506972613427</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22695755.post-115194667438688538</id><published>2006-07-03T14:11:00.000-03:00</published><updated>2006-07-03T14:11:14.443-03:00</updated><title type='text'>ultimatum met</title><content type='html'>The ultimatum posted on June 2nd, seems to have done the trick. I finally came up with an original idea, presented it to my supervisor, and he seemed impressed (and that’s all I need), so I designed my experimental setup, and amazingly, this was all done before June 15th. So I went to the lab technician with a list of all the material I will be needing, and again, all this is done around mid-June… and since then, I’ve been waiting… impatiently…for the ordered material to arrive… practically doing nothing important… well, I mean I still come to school and work for a few hours a day… but I don’t like the wait… I get nervous when I don’t have anything to do… I can’t just stay home and relax (like a normal person would do)… I start feeling guilty… so I’ll come to school. With nothing to do. Like today…&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I also realized something else as I am writing this post. At any stage during my studies so far, I have always thought that compared to the previous stage, I haven’t been doing enough work…and that I’ve been lazy in this last stage… and I always blame myself for that… but heck, looking back at the posts I’ve had, all the times I have been complaining, I’ve been achieving something big during that very time… so, I won’t complain any more from now on… yep, you won’t be hearing me complain any more about being lazy, or not working like I should, or …&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;p.s. Hey it’s OK if I complain a little every now and then, right?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;p.s.s. I have 11 mosquito bites on my back, and the funny thing is they are concentrated around one same spot. A mosquito must have gotten into my t-shirt and stayed there… from breakfast till supper, and he hasn’t stopped himself from having mid-day snack, an afternoon tea, and a late night snack, and even inviting a friend over for a movie night… it’s itching like crazzzzzzzzzzyyyyyyyyy.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Impatiently waiting for the ordered material to arrive.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22695755-115194667438688538?l=sandtank.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sandtank.blogspot.com/feeds/115194667438688538/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22695755&amp;postID=115194667438688538&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22695755/posts/default/115194667438688538'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22695755/posts/default/115194667438688538'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sandtank.blogspot.com/2006/07/ultimatum-met.html' title='ultimatum met'/><author><name>sandtank</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09434259506972613427</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22695755.post-115151463829471964</id><published>2006-06-28T14:10:00.000-03:00</published><updated>2006-06-28T16:25:55.250-03:00</updated><title type='text'>Crash (2004)</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;I watched &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.crashfilm.com/"&gt;Crash&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt; on DVD last night. Finally, after a long, long time of seeing boring, pointless movies, here was a film that really moved me. I started out as I usual… Press play… One eye on the screen and the other on the chips and food and drinks… sneaking a look at the headlines on this week’s TIME --and to be honest, when I looked back at the screen again I knew I hadn’t missed much-- But with &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;Crash, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;after five minutes of watching, I literally didn’t take my eyes off the TV screen again in the remaining 2 hours. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;Watch it. And watch it again. Talk about it with friends… This is a movie worth watching more than once. The cast is amazing. The flow is smooth and logical. The cinematography is astonishing. The music is breath-taking.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;And oh, if you’re an Iranian reading this, double watch the scene where the Iranian mother and daughter are having a conversation in the morning after their store has been vandalized. Feel the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;hate &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;in the mother’s voice as she turns to her daughter, and says “They think we are &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;Arabs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;”. Yes, sad but true my fellow Iranians, we are hardheaded racists too. We should start by changing the man in the mirror… and I’m talking about myself too… Go ahead. Watch it. Get inspired.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22695755-115151463829471964?l=sandtank.blogspot.com'

So why do we smoke? Is it because the nicotine is supposed to relax you? It’s supposed to make you feel good? Well, it doesn’t! It makes you feel like shit. Actually, there’s no feeling at all. If you’re lucky, you might get a headache after you smoke, but that’s only if you’re really lucky. If you’re not, you’re just left with smelly clothes and hands and breath…&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;So why do we smoke? Right after we’re done smoking we open all the windows to get some fresh air in! But Hello! all that smoke you’re sick of now, was in your lungs seconds ago! And we’re always complaining about how shitty smoking is… “I’m quitting man…” or “this one is the last smoke man”… “just tonight guys, ok?” Who are we kidding? We’re NOT gonna quit! Yeah! Mark Twain once said “There’s nothing quite as easy as quitting smoking… I have done it a thousand times!!”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;So let’s light a last cigarette in honour of all those who try! quitting! And this is the last one, ok? And in honor of Hossein, my dear friend, who once bought me banana when I asked him to get me a Cuban cigar on his way back home. He gave me the banana and said “There, this won’t give you lung cancer, and it is actually rich in potassium!” Hossein my friend, nice try!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1'

type='text'>moving</title><content type='html'>When you're moving, your whole world becomes boxes. That's all you think about is boxes. Boxes, where are there boxes? You just wander down the street going in and out of stores. “Are there boxes here? Have you seen any boxes?” I mean it's all you think about. You can't even talk to people because you can't concentrate. “Shut up I'm looking for boxes”. Just after a while you become like really into it you can smell them. You walk into a store. “There's boxes here. Don't tell me you don't have boxes. Dammit, I can SMELL them”. I'm like I'm obsessed. I love the smell of cardboard in the morning. You could be at a funeral. Everyone's mourning crying around, and you’re looking at the casket. “That's a nice box. Does anyone know where that guy got that box? When he's done with it do you think I could get that? it's got some nice handles on it”. And that's what death is really. It's the last big move of your life. The hearse is like the van. The pale bearers are your close friends the only ones you could ask to help you with a big move like that. And the casket is that great perfect box you've been waiting for your whole life The only problem is, once you find it you're in it.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Jerry Seinfeld- &lt;em&gt;Seinfeld, Episode

type='text'>Long gone are the days...</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;I am using the blogger plugin for word for the very first time. I am also typing my first post with my fingers in the correct position on the keyboard (that’s why it’s taking me five times as long). I don’t know if this effort will ever pay back… it’s just that I was typing so (where was that damned &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;Q &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;again? Oh here it is…) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;q&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;uickly just using three or four fingers and looking at the keyboard… I was doing just fine… but everyone says this is “the new thing”. You’d be considered an oldie if you are staring at the keyboard while typing (urghhhhh I’m sick and tired of typing “t” instead of “r” and “c” instead of “b”…)…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;Yes, dear friends, long gone are the days when using “Internet Explorer” was considered a talent… I even remember a time when if you knew how to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;move &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;a mouse, you’d be recognized as a public hero… people would move aside, let you through, and watch in astonishment as you came and lay your hand on the sophisticated gadget, took the cursor on an icon, and performed a smooth, flawless “double click”.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;Yes, long gone are the days…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;P.S. I wrote a long, interesting article on &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;Iran &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;the other day, and accidentally deleted it just before posting.

I dreamt that I somehow ended up in a hospital, and a doctor diagnosed that I have cancer. (you don't wanna know what kind of cancer... :-s). I am hoping that bad dreams have good meanings to them and that I will be able to have ten kids... (dough!!! I think I gave that one away...)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;2. I always set the alarm on the clock by my bed to whatever time I wanna get up in the mornings. Last night I slept at around 1 am, so I figured I better sleep until 8:30. I set the alarm on 8:30. I slept straight without waking up even once during the night. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;I wake up in the morning before the alarm goes off... and I thank God, because I can sleep for another hour... or whatever time there's left, I don't even open my eyes, just turn to sleep on my other side... this all happens in less than 3 seconds... and you wouldn't believe it, the alarm goes off in the 3rd second! It's as if I had woken up at 7:59:57!!! Woaa that's some weird shit...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

I'm not sure if this can be called a&lt;em&gt; characteristic &lt;/em&gt;or a&lt;em&gt; habit&lt;/em&gt; or... so bear with me through it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't think I deal with life's problems serious enough.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I face a problem, there's a complicated mental process I go through, which will cause me to feel OVERSTRESSED for a few hours, then TOTALLY CALM after that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think this "numbness", or "calmness" if you like, is somehow related to my mind reacting to escape the mental pressure of dealing with a serious problem. It's somehow similar to a computer "asking" to be "shut down" if you run too many programs with it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, my mind will automatically "shut down" to escape the pressure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, when I face a big problem, this is what seems to happen: At first, I break down totally. I become exteremely weak and hopeless. But surprisingly, this feeling lasts for only half a day, at most, and this is where I think my brain reacts to the problem by making it &lt;em&gt;look so small&lt;/em&gt; that it &lt;em&gt;can be ignored.&lt;/em&gt; My brain will give me all kinds of reasons to accept that the problem is not as scary as I thought, but infact it is very small, and it has happened to many people before and &lt;em&gt;they &lt;/em&gt;have overcome it, so&lt;em&gt; I&lt;/em&gt; will &lt;em&gt;definitely&lt;/em&gt; be able to overcome it. And then the numbness, and carelessness. Now, the problem seems so small, that I will tell my brain:&lt;br /&gt;"Don't worry brain, I will take care of it in my free time."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think my brain's saying to itself "Man, look at this guy, two hours ago he was&lt;br /&gt;panicking,&lt;br /&gt;at the point of agony,&lt;br /&gt;thinking there won't be a tomorrow,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and so I give him "some" hope to calm him down,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and God damn it, he takes so seriously&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;that he tells me he will do&lt;em&gt; "something"&lt;/em&gt; about it in&lt;em&gt; "his free time"&lt;/em&gt; "?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes friends, that is the sad, but true story of what goes on inside a civil engineering masters' student at ... university whenever he faces a problem...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"&gt;P.S.

The first part of my assumption remains true my friends. However, this afternoon proved my second assumption wrong. And this is happening in the less than two weeks I've been using blogger.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;b)I watched the Oscars last night. I must confess I was very disappointed with the two awards that went to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0388795/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Brokeback Mountain&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;. Now, I have not watched this film nor do I ever plan to do so, I think it's a disgrace to all the Western movies I have watched during my life. I always think of my cowboy heros as &lt;em&gt;straight&lt;/em&gt; cowboy heros. I don't want &lt;em&gt;anything&lt;/em&gt; to change that thought. I was also disappointed with the winner for the best female actress, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000702/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Reese Witherspoon&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;, because I can't imagine her as ever being an oscar winner. I haven't seen &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0358273/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Walk the line&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; yet either. I will watch that movie sooner or later, and I will tell you in case I ever change my mind (I doubt it). Which reminds me, I need to buy a good TV and sound system and DVD player for the place I'm moving in. Movies have once been a very important part of my life, and now I'm starting to lose that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;c) I'm back from Second Cup, and I am nearly finishing my regular cinammon caramel coffee, which is supposed to keep me awake this afternoon for studying Environmental systems. This will officially be the first time I make an attempt to study anything for this course in this semester.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;d) I was the invigilator for my TA course this afternoon. The professor left the exam and I was left with the students.&lt;br /&gt;And then a student asks me for the density of water in US units.&lt;br /&gt;For those fellow readers who don't know, this is the easiest and stupidest question in engineering. Any engineer should know this number. It is like asking someone for their mom's name or something.&lt;br /&gt;But the problem occurs when the TA has been using SI units all his life. He hates US units, and so he vaguely remembers a number like 62.4, thinks again, puts on his "I'm sure what I'm telling you is correct" face and replies "62.4".&lt;br /&gt;He doesnt' stop right there. Next he goes up to the board and he writes on the board "density of water=62.4 lb/ft3".&lt;br /&gt;Students all copy this in their exam books.&lt;br /&gt;Ten minutes before exam ends, the professor returns. He smiles at the TA, then looks at the board, quickly looks back at the TA, then the board, then the TA, board, TA, board, TA...&lt;br /&gt;And he screams out "Students, please pay attention, there has been a mistake... this number here on the board (looks at the TA while saying that) is the &lt;em&gt;Gamma &lt;/em&gt;of water, not the &lt;em&gt;Rho&lt;/em&gt;, the Rho is equal to 1.98 which when multiplied by 32.2 equals 62.4 ...."&lt;br /&gt;The prof is thinking to himself "Who the hell is this guy?!!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22695755-114168261925734076?l=sandtank.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sandtank.blogspot.com/feeds/114168261925734076/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22695755&amp;postID=114168261925734076&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22695755/posts/default/114168261925734076'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22695755/posts/default/114168261925734076'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sandtank.blogspot.com/2006/03/coffee-always-gets-my-brain-racing_06.html' title='Coffee always gets my brain racing...'/><author><name>sandtank</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09434259506972613427</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22695755.post-114135567338727235</id><published>2006-03-02T23:03:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2006-03-04T12:54:55.336-04:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;It's funny.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;If you've ever been to orkut, you'd know what I'm talking about.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Your status marital can be SINGLE, COMMITTED or MARRIED&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;1. If you're single, you're a nobody. People will go through your profile and say "Yeah, yeah, just another ordinary guy (girl)...". &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;2.If you're committed, suddenly you become an important person. People start going through your profile and try to guess who the lucky winner is. Others will congragulate you on your "success". Girls suddenly start noticing you. Hey, where the hell were all these honeys before I was committed?!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;3. If you're married, you're boring. People will click on your profile as an act of empathy. They will comment on how good your picture looks or how nice and friendly you are, but that's just bullshit. Deep down inside they feel sorry for you.
