Dear James,

The cycle of my disappointment is getting smaller and smaller. These days, more than before, I am thinking about future, my school, job, and money.
When kids graduate form high schools and are fresh in colleges, they think about changing the world and some of them really do, but when I have to start all over again in my 25th it is getting harder to think like that. I live in real world more than my drams. I went to three majors till now, civil engineering, low, and sociology. I love the major I study now. It is the best fit for my interest. But the question is what can I do with for example BA in sociology? I do want to continue to get my PHD in it, but life is not as easy as typing. I wish getting to that is as much as easy as talking about that. Vahid is still not sure too. I feel responsible for thinking about that too.
We are 25. I know we are young, healthy and having long journey ahead, but…

These days, more than any other days, I wanna do something with my hand. I am tired of these damn computers. I wanna do something in real world. Auto mechanic, plumbing, carpeting, nursing, walk dogs, or just do something outdoors.

It is my dream to have a small café, but I want to keep this dream for my retirement. I use to have a friend who told me in my cycles that I am not in race with my self nor anybody else.
It is stupid to think being a milliner in one night. I know that, but also I want to know my path is going to a safe and secure financial place.


Lets make some coffee….

Dear James,

Saddam Hussein was executed in last days of 2006 in Iraqi’s custody. One of the audiences shot the scene by his cellur phone and now that video is the second most visited video by google in its history. Such a violence lovers! (even I put the video in my Farsi blog).
I am against execution for anyone. It doesn’t matter if he was a dictator. I think nobody in the world has the power to get others lives. No matter what he did to humanity, death was not a good punishment. Lots of people say that death was an easy punishment to him and he should suffer more. I do not agree with this. I believe his alive could be more beneficiary for the world and for Iraqi’s people.
He was judged and condemned in an Iraqi’s court and he was found guilty for some of his crimes, including killing his people with chemical bombardment in Halabja and for his crimes against Kurds. Have you ever notice that nobody mentions his crimes against Iran during eight years war? (1980-1988).
He attacked Iran and in eight years millions of troops were killed in both sides. On that time UK and US were his big partners. He got his bombs and chemical weapons from Europe and the US. We still have kids born with cancer in those areas. Who is respond for that?
I cannot blame only him. It was Iranian government too who didn’t stop the war in the time they could, but why there is no picture of Saddam and Rumsfeld anywhere in TVs or news? Even I can remember US was his big partner before his 1990’s attack to Qatar.
I think the court went so fast. For me it seems some powers want to shut him as soon as possible. Some powers did want him to be silence.
Saddam was executed, but are the memories of people executable?

Dear James,
Happy 2007. I wish peace and love not only for you, but also for our old, tired world.
We went to the City for New Year Eve and it was a great experience. I enjoy being among people, lots of people, and it was one of the best nights I spend in the City. You know how much I love SF, so no wonder it is always fun for me to be there.
mmm…what else? I came to work today after ten days and it is not easy. However I wish I writer more for you and you have more time for me.
Have you and Megan seen Match Point by Woody Allen yet? It is in my “ have to see” list. How about sitting together and watch that probably this week?
