The best episode of QTV Is  extremely funny!!!!! :)

 

 

Live Streaming by Ustream.TV

FAIL!!!!!! :(

As U have noticed my last few blog entries have been video blogs including 2 episodes of a  show I was test streaming on Both Ustream.tv and Yahoo Live! Called QTV which was an interactive Live call In Quiz Show!!. An Idea that I thought would be a lot of fun and entertaining for people and I thought that it would catch on!!

Boy was I ever wrong!!! The show got a  rocky start with only 10 or so viewers in the first couple of episodes even though I told as many people about it and twittered a  lot about it and even called in to TNT  and told every one watching Tuesday Night Tech about the show the very first week it was on!!!!

Last Night was the 3rd (And most probably LAST) episode of the Show and Nobody showed up!!! I guess now I know how NBC feels with nobody watching their shows and being last place in ratings all the time LOL !!!! Now I know U all have lives and everything and a few of my friends I know were working and or had college classes and tests to deal with and  Im not upset with them at all. But where were the rest of U? Im talking to U guys who pressured me into  coming back and streaming again when I was off for 2 months!!! What happened? Am I really that Boring? I know Im not exactly a  good looking guy so I cant get viewers using my LOOKS!!!! LOL and that is a fact. But I guess I shouldnt have counted on U Internet peoplez as my friends at all!!!

I tired Just streaming and sitting infront of my PC and chatting with people but that got me no where so I thought I should come up with  a  show idea and I did and I worked hard at it too!!!!

I did this Internet (LOL or as @iellie and @ideedee say Innernet) thing so I could escape the fact that my real life is just CRAP right now!!! Last night made me feel  completely worthless and like CRAP!!! It made me feel like  Im not even worth a  few minutes of anyone's time!!! I havent been that down  and depressed in a looooong time.

 

So the Next time one of U Misses me ,as many of U told me during my 2 month hiatus from streaming, U make the time to come and watch me or chat with me when Im available because I am not your puppet sitting infront of my PC streaming 24/7 waiting for U guys to come and  C me as you please for me to entertain U!!!! Im a  person just like U  and  even have a life albeit a  very CRAPPY one right now but still its my life and Im in control of it not U guys!!!!

 

I guess what Im trying to say is that I dont really see the point of  streaming anymore if this is how its going to be, unless im proven wrong by u guys or I can come up with a  sure way of getting viewers!!!! and I am open to suggestions for ideas if U guys have any .

 

I would like to thank my newly found circle of friends @iellie @ideedee @darthgaia05  @saynevarrgh    for cheering me up all the time :) I also want to thank @tendersphinx cause I know she actually cares about me!!! :)

 

Now I present U the latest ( and perhaps my last stream) episode of QTV from this past Thursday!!!

Free live streaming by Ustream

Internet Streaming

Well, after a few months absence from the camera and the Scene of Online Streaming, I am back!!

I am back, I am back, I am back, yay !!! ( Read this part  singingly to the appropriate tune!! LOL and dont forget to move your hands to the tune!!! LOL ).

Ok But all jokes aside, I have begun test streaming again!! Im not back full powered and Im not even sure if I will continue it as of yet!! But let me tell you guys It feels great to be back and getting in touch with old friends again!! I owe this to a few that Im going to name here: @fireman17, @CM, @Jimmymac, and Bubba aka Steiny !!! I also want to thank @iellie  for making me feel welcome on Ustream and in her chat :)  Her Ustream page is http://www.ustream.tv/channel/iellie

I have come back on 2 platforms now and I will continue to be on both  platforms Yahoo Live (http://live.yahoo.com/paykan) and USTREAM (http://www.ustream.com/paykan's-world) as long as my PC can handle streaming live video on 2 places simultaneously.

Let me tell U that since I left USTREAM a few months ago, a lot has changed!! A ton of new features have been added, Im not even going to bother talking about them cause first of all I dont have the time right now and Itll make this entry way too long  and second of all I dont know many of the features yet myself just cause I didnt have time to play around with them yet!!!

So far I have  experimented  with 3  different platforms for streaming live video. Let me give U a little run down of each in my own experience. (Keep in mind your experience may vary and this is mostly just my opinion ).

Ok lets start with the biggest and most well known one USTREAM.tv .  With a funding of 13.1 Million Dollars  (http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/02/29/confirmed-live-video-on-youtube-this-year/) it is a fairly large pond  with many big fish such as Hollywood Actor Dane Cook  and G4Tech TV's Leo Laporte and former  TECH TV host  Chris Pirillo, to name only a few!!  USTREAM also has seen many big events from a  Hannah Montana Concert which  actually crashed the servers due to a huge number of viewers to the many Presidential Candidate speeches and a recent one on one with LL COOL J  that actually happened today (August 27th).

However for a newcomer it can be very hard to feel at home and one with the crowed  at Ustream.tv. This is because of 2 reasons.  First of all USTREAM has a  moderating  system in place that I do NOT agree with. Certain people who R called OPs (operators) run and moderate chat rooms. Yeah it gives USTREAM a cleaner environment but in many cases the owners of channels ( the person who streams the show) dont have a clue whats going on in the chat and who is being kicked or banned for what reason, in part because they totally trust the OPs and in some cases because they could just care less!! this unfortunately leaves a lot of room for  certain OPs to do as they want based on personal problems they may have with a certain user who hasnt even acted inappropriately at all to give the OPS reason for a kick or ban!! Ive seen a lot of that happen on USTREAM and I have even experienced some of it myself!!.

Second of all many of the featured streamers on USTREAM were there from the very beginning and have therefor formed a very tight network of friendship with each other making it almost impossible for a newcomer to insert himself in. As many of U may already know I had an unfortunate and very unpleasant situation on USTREAM which lead to me being forced to leave the platform a  few months ago.  Since then many things have changed including a  managerial shift which was caused by Tim Villanueva ( Chief Technology Officer of USTREAM) the person who forced me to leave the platform , resigning and stepping down.Many of the people who were involved in that situation have now seen the light and have changed their attitude  and I am good friends with them now. But every time I step in to a USTREAM show and chat I still feel a lot of resentment  towards me and a feeling of heaviness settles on  me. Plus lets face it Im a very small fish in a very big pond when it comes to USTREAM and it was the same  before I left the platform!. Im not very entertaining and definitely not even an average looking guy. Which brings me to my next point, being a  guy I do not have the  BOOBS factor  (No disrespect to my female friends and streamers out there, U know I love yall ), and this all leads to me getting an average of 0-2 viewers a day on USTREAM !!!In terms of video image quality with the setup I use which is  a Canon ZR200 Mini DV camcorder as my camera and with USTREAM's highest quality settings, Its still fairly average, sometimes even below average and has a fair amount of pixelation at times!.

When I was forced to leave USTREAM  ( My USTREAM broadcaster was disabled and account deleted ) I immediately looked into other  available platforms. Infact I pulled a trick on USTREAM when my Broadcaster was disabled before my  page was deleted,that Im sure they didnt  expect me to do. What I did was I started streaming  on 4 other platforms and embeded those streams on my USTREAM page!! This was the only way I could let my group of followers and friends    know what had happened. Included in the 4 platforms I tried were Justin.tv and Yahoo Live. After an emergency get together of me and my online friends  Justin.tv seemed to be  a        logical choice for my new platform!    

(This decision was based on the fact that JTV is more mainstream and well known than the other choices)

My streaming on Justin.tv was very short lived since  Justin.tv shut  my account down as soon as they could!!! Thats how close Justin.tv was with USTREAM at the time! The video quality I had on Justin.tv with theire best quality settings  at best sucked big time and I got a video delay of about a minute and half!! While on USTREAM          the video delay is usually about 30 seconds or so. After my account was shut on Justin.tv  I jumped   on a new born project called Yahoo Live!.

On February 17th,2008 my channel on Yahoo Live was created and shortly after I  went on air on Yahoo Live. Of the 3 platforms I have tried and tested Yahoo Live by far has the best video image quality with my equipment I listed above. Unlike USTREAM and Justin.tv Yahoo Live doesnt give U a choice of tweaking picture quality Frame rate or anything like that. Even with that  Ive had the best quality video image on Yahoo Live. When I joined Yahoo Live it was only 10 days old!! Now  you probably dont know this but its been   reported    that  Yahoo Live's development team is a 6 person  personnel!  Not something you would expect from a large company like Yahoo!.Infact here are two very interesting articles about Yahoo Live that you should definately read:

from TECHCRUNCH

from YLIVE BLOG

 

Yahoo Live has many technical shortcomings, one of which is  a very non secure chat system. The ban or kick commands of the chat are faulty at best and  users   can come back within a  few seconds sometimes even with the same user name!!!  This has made Yahoo Live home to many annoying groups such as 4Chan and the many others out there!! They frequent the chats harassing the streaming person and the viewers and keep demanding such things as " Shoe on Head!!! Keyboard on Head!!" The  streams and chats can easily be  hacked by even novices in hacking!!! While other video streaming services can be assumed semi safe for younger adults and people with good taste, the same does not stand for Yahoo Live as I have too often seen naked guys with their penis's hanging out and masturbating on cam!!! or my favorite ,naked chicks on cam :) Now I love those!!! :) 

However all that  aside Yahoo Live is one small tiny pond  and has more room of growth for tiny microscopic fish like myself! Infact the following is a screen capture of my Yahoo Live profile page with my stream stats:

 

Here is my Yahoo Live stream stats:

52912 Live Viewers

936 Broadcasts

41.5 days Time Live

 

Even with all its shortcomings  I have found a lot of good friends on Yahoo Live such as miss @tendersphinx !! Yahoo Live also has its share of big fish and its own grown celebrities!! The Democratic National Convention was live on Yahoo Live the other day as it was on USTREAM!! Sheena TV is definately worth mentioning as she has become an iJustine of Yahoo Live and the Former American Idol winner Jordin Sparks frequents Yahoo Live all this coupled with the many DJs and other artists that often make it to the front page of Yahoo Live lifecasting!!

The other day when I first came back on both platforms simultaneously  within a matter of minutes I got 15 viewers on Yahoo Live and 1 viewer on USTREAM and the second day I got 0 viewers on USTREAM all day while I had 10 viewers on Yahoo Live!

I guess what im trying to say is that these platforms each have their own positive and nagative points, but I will try my best to bring them closer together and unite  both the viewers and streamers of these platforms !

Before  I close this entry I wanted to mention that my friend JD Carr has lost  thousands of  dollars due to his 2 websites www.gotwebmojo.com and www.gotpartymojo.com being shut down  because NING.com has screwed up! JD my thoughts and prayers are with you. I hope you come back and even  stronger than before !! :)

 

wow thats one long ass entry!! I hope I didnt bore U :)

 

Please feel free to leave comments :)

TV is it really reality?

I want to thank one of my friends @IELLIE for giving me the idea behind this blog entry ,without even knowing it, when she twittered this yesterday :

"How the hell did New York get another show on VH1? When is the reality TV going to disappear??   iellie Mon, 18 Aug"

 

Its been almost 8 years since the birth of reality television phenomenon.Perhaps movies such as The Trueman Show and ED TV were hints of where the future of Television based entertainmen is headed. According to http://www.boxofficemojo.com   The Trueman Show and Ed TV are respectively  1st place and 5th place most grossed movies based on Reality TV  http://www.boxofficemojo.com/genres/chart/?id=realitytv.htm

But how much of it is truly reality? Ive seen with my own two eyes "Writers: ...." at the end credits of some Reality shows!!! Or "Director: ..."  .  So if these shows are being written and directed can we really call them Reality TV?

To me a true Reality TV is one without writers or directors.The closest thing to that on television I guess would be Big Brother.Nowadays with the improvement of computers and the Internet, many people's entertainment  is their PC rather than TV. Music, Videos, pictures and some people even watch TV on their PC!! So the old definition of  the word Television  being tied down to an actual TV set is really no more. With that in mind, here lies true Reality TV within such domains as Ustream.tv , Justin.tv, Yahoo Live (http://www.live.yahoo.com) and many more live video streaming services that are available out there. True Reality TV is watching Chris Pirillo (http://live.pirillo.com) sit at his desk for hours on end  and then get super excited about the latest and newest gadget or software release or get into a  cute funny quarrel with his lovely wife Ponzi!! Or watching cages and cages of parrots in what seems to be a big room or warehouse on Yahoo Live, or just watch people who go about their daily routine while interacting  with an existing chatroom 24/7. If U thought watching people sleep, or watching an empty office room is boring and pointless, clearly U have not watched any of the streams people do 24/7. An empty office room according to http://live.pirillo.com  can get as many as 700 viewers for hours on end with nobody at the other end to interact with them!!!

 

So I guess to answer @iellie s  question, In my opinion its going to be a looooooooooooooooooong while or perhaps never till the craze for reality TV dies down!!!

But thats just my opinion and Id love to have yours, so please leave your comments on this subject for me and others to read :)

This is all the construction work that was going on infront of our house today for about 3 hours or so:

Information Technology Burn Out ?

What did people  do before  the  Personal Computer age? Or as  some of us might call it today the prehistoric days? Im sure if you tell a  7 year old  that you were  born before iPod ever existed the look on the  childs face will make U feel as old as  a dinosaur  !!!! :)

The last couple of years my life (or lack there of ! lol ) has increasingly  become  packed in this box  set on top of  my desk in my bedroom  called my  Computer!. I dont get out of the house much, most of my day is spent sitting infront of my  computer,doing various tasks, social networking, watching  or reading tutorials  for various video production softwares, blogging, twittering,reading on the latest released or  up and  coming  gadgets  and  softwares, chatting, watching  video streams  of other peoples lives!!, and up until a couple of months  ago streaming live  video and chat of my own !. So not only do I not have an actual social life  now this has affected my  Rheumatoid Arthritis as well !! Sitting infront of the computer for  hours   a  day in one position for me  is like drinking poison for  a  totally healthy person! Another thing I have noticed is   how out of touch

But  dont get me  wrong  once in a  while  when my parents manage to get me out of my room kicking  and  screaming  (LOL), I actually have a  great  time !!.

I know people that have  it even worst  than me !! Friends of mine who are OPs on ustream.tv  and wyldryde IRC (geek talk LOL ) Fireman 17 and CM!

Fireman17 is  basically a  24/7  OP on both those networks!! When I say 24/7 Im not kidding you and he is also a  volunteer fireman during the day ( one step ahead of me there cause atleast he has a  semi job out of the house!! ) This poor soul doesnt get any sleep  at  night  except  for maybe  20 or  30 minutes a night!! How  he  survives this is beyond my understanding!! To give U a better understanding of the scope of his online 24/7 activities  I should tell you that he has to police at least 30 or  so chatrooms on ustream.tv  and  at least 30 or  so chats on the wyldryde network!!

The same thing  but  at a smaller scale goes for CM.

If  you are just an occasional internet user then you are not at all familiar  with what Im about  to talk  about, but if U  are an  avid internet user like myself  and  my friends CM and Fireman17  then U  may even have experienced what im about  to talk about.Internet bullying  and harassment!!. Im not  going to go into  alot of detail about this  cause its  out of the range of the topic of this post. But I will say this much. A few months  ago  me and a   group of my online buddies  went  through a  big Internet bullying  and harassment case that got dragged for a few months  almost everyday  the same group of people  from ustream.tv  would harass me and my friends!!. Dont get me wrong Im not writing this to start up anything with ustream.tv or  those people (most of  whom Im friends  with now cause they manned up  and apologized ),  but Im just mentioning it as a  side effect of losing your life  to the attractive trap I call the Internet !!. The amount of stress that this can cause  in  someone's  life ( or lack there of ) that is  wholly internet dependant, is incredible  and can even cause physical and emotional sickness and illness and distress!. Now my friends Fireman17 and CM are going through  something  similar but I doubt as intense  as what I went through, by the same  group of people  who masterminded  the attacks on me  back then !! for more info on that go to :

http://cmarlow480.blogspot.com

 

Back when I used to stream live video on http://www. Ustream.tv, http://live.yahoo.com/paykan  and other streaming services, I had become this hypnotized zombie, sitting  at my desk staring at my monitor, waiting  for people to come in to my chatroom  so I could talk to them!!! I would not even get out of my room  for dinner or lunch!! Id bring them up  and eat infront of my camera  setup so I could  chat  with the peeps in my chat room!! For  a  while id even leave my camera on at nights when I went to bed  and my stream truely 24/7  so people  could watch me  sleep!! LOL, so I finally came to  and  saw it  for the horrific addiction that it was  since  about 2 months ago.

 

With the  rapid  growth  in popularity and number of social networking sites, Instant messaging programs, smart phones and devices I foresee a sudden crash and halt of this culture coming soon, either that or  an isolationist way of life  brought on by the abuse or miss use of devices or programs  that were once designed to bring us together!!!

 

Well thats  my  story and opinion, leave me comments and tell me  what  you think :)

 

Talk to y'all later.

Ok so I dont go out much, Im usually sitting infront of my computer everyday, but when I do go out occasionally, I have a great time. Saturday we went to a park picnic with our Iranian friends, yes the same ones we went out with a few weeks earlier to another park. These guys are huge fans of picnicking in the park and BBQing :) The Drive was close to 2 hours and 45 minutes from our house!!! It was a beautiful place and alot of fun. Unfortunately it was a bit of a bug and mosquito fest!! We were eaten alive by bugs and mosquitoes!! I have mosquito bites in places I never even knew existed!!! LOL

"The Nightmare"

Early this morning I woke up with one of the most disturbing nightmares I have had in years!! I am going to try and describe the nightmare to U in detail here

It was late at night like about midnight and the weather was very warm and humid so me and my grandma decided to get out of the house for a short walk to cool off. We were right infront of our house and my grand ma was a few steps in front of me when I noticed something strange in the dark and cloudy midnight sky over the city. It looked like 2 passenger planes ( or the blinking lights that U C ). One of them took my notice. It seemed like it was just hanging in the air ( kind of like how a helicopter does ). Then after a few seconds it started slowly spinning in one direction and then the other direction!!! I thought it was doing some sort of an acrobatics air show!! (Talk about being stupid in my own nightmare!!! LOL ). So I pointed it out to my grand ma and said: Look its doing some sort of cool strange acrobatics show!!

After a few seconds the plane stopped spinning and it seemed to move forward like a normal aircraft would , flying. that didnt last more than a few seconds!! All of a sudden the tip of the plane took a deep dive!! Right then I realized that all along the plane had been experiencing technical problems and now it was going to fall to the ground!!

I screamed from the top of my lungs to my grandma: Its going to fall!! Its going to fall !!!!

and then the plane picked up an incredible amount of speed and came almost straight down and then disappeared from sight, after a few seconds a cloud of smoke and fire rose up from the ground afar !!

Me and my grandma in shock and distress ran inside the house to tell my parents about what we just saw and figure out whats happened. there was nothing on TV about what had just happened. So I went upstairs to tell my mom. After I told her everything I took a look outside from the window to C whats going on. What I saw was horrific !! Fire had engulfed the whole city and was rapidly growing and spreading like the domino effect taking over buildings and houses and it was only two more rows of houses until it was going to reach ours!!! so me and my mom ran downstairs screaming Fire Fire !!! Get Out !!!

and right then I woke up!!

Surprisingly I didnt wake up screaming or anything like that but rather very calm but disturbed!!!

Well that was my nightmare for you.

C yall later.

Technical Prtoblems

Ok, so Its been a long while since I last updates my blog  with actual words!! Ive been busy with Adobe After Effects  CS3,as U can C in my previous 2 posts. But what Ive been trying to figure out  is this Aspect ratio issue Ive been having lately with Adobe After Effects CS3!! here is the link to my problem:

http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b5814f?@812.d7HdiRNkVM5@

If U guys can help me with my problem I really appreciate it !! .

 

Any ways, sooo whats  up? LOL As if I can hear  you like this !!! LOL

 

I just missed one week of my favorite show Tuesday Night Tech on Ustream.tv and now I hear there was alot of Drama and stuff!! wow

They mustve really missed me! LOL

Believe it or not ever since I started using twitter, its made blogging harder for me, cause I usually say whatever comes to my  mind in my tweets!! And sometimes it feels like there is nothing left to blog about!!!

Is  you are interested in video production, if U are a  video producer, editor, director and  want to socialize  with others in this industry join my ning network: http://videowork.ning.com/

Anyways, thats  all  for now  folks!! :)

A short video I made using Adobe After Effects CS3

This is a video ad I made for www.gotwebmojo.com :

WALLE

Well, the other night I went to C the movie WALLE with my dad. It was a very interesting experience. With the lack of dialogue (Less than 1 percent) in this movie the creators had to rely heavily on building the characters through showing their emotions with very well done facial expressions and giving the characters very likeable and cute personalities. In my opinion this totally made up for the lack of dialogue.

 

Aside from that I think the movie had a few very interesting and somewhat subtle messages for the viewer. The main message of the movie was for us to take care of our planet and be more environmentally aware. However WALLE had an underlying message which I found very interesting.The movie held Big Corporation responsible for all bad that has come to humanity. Under the name BigNLarge which owns everything from soft drinks to gas stations and supermarket chains, Big Corporation was portrayed as a manipulative, brainwashing force behind everything that had happened to humanity. Good example of this is the classroom scene where the teacher is teaching the preschoolers:" A is For Axiom... B is for BigNLarge..."

 

Another yet subtle message of the movie was the effect of computers and the Internet on our daily lives.Everyone was so busy staring at the hologram monitors in front of them that they were totally out of touch with themselves and their surroundings and  machines had took control of their lives. But once the system was shut off it was like they all woke up from this deep coma they were in.

 

All in all the movie was very nice and worth seeing.

Thats all for now :)

I am HOT !!! LOL

One super scorching day today!! It was plus 32 C  all day!! And I was seriously melting!!. Of all the days I could've used Cold Drinks or Ice cream we were out of both!!!

And YES that Rice Ice cream is extremely tasty and way better than any Soy products!!

Can anyone help me with my After Effects problem?

Late Update

Hi everybody. Its been a few days since I updated my blog. I have been lazy and busy at the same time. I also have been looking for a desktop publishing app for my blog so I dont have to come to blogger.com every time. I found a plugin for Firefox called ScribeFire that I am using right now for this post.





Anyways this past Sunday was probably the hottest Ive ever experienced since coming to Canada 12 years ago. To avoid the heat at home we went to a park picnic with another Iranian family. It was a beautiful and big park at that.





As you ca C from the picture below a river runs through the park that just makes it even more beautiful.













And here is a pic of me at the park before I discovered a huge spider is crawling up my Jeans!!!! (ewww) I wish U could C me in my Jeans, I looked so 80's!! LOL












I have decided to do Powerjug everyday for at least 45 minutes a day and the last couple of days I took my camera with me to show U guys how unfinshed our neighborhood is !!!





















So, no air conditioning, and not able to open windows, a nice cold glass of Aab Aalbaaloo (Sour Chery Juice) made in Iran is the only thing that keeps me cool everyday up in Hell Warm room!!!









Ill talk to U guys soon :)

Yesterday we had one of the hottest days of summer Ive ever experienced since coming to Canada 12 years ago!! It was 22C outside but in the house it felt like Hell!! Specially with no air conditioning yet since the house isnt even done!!! My room was so hot I had to drink 3 huge
glasses of berry juice mixed with Cold water and Ice!! :


and Im the kind of person that never drinks that much liquid during the day!! LOL


Today is another equally scorching day at 20C!! When u have a house that doesn't have an air conditioning and is located in an area so new that they are still building houses. when U open your windows, you are bound to get alot of bugs and sorts in the house!! Specially bees!! Now my room is located upstairs and my mom who is stting downstairs just screamed and when I asked whats going on she said "Bee!! A bee just flew in!!! . I hate bugs and bees and quiet frankly Im terrified of them!!. I just went to a frantic state when I realized that a bee has flown in to the house!! U shouldve seen me!!! LOL Screaming like a little girl even though the bee was no where near where I am. I didnt even C or hear the bee!! LOL. I think I seriously need therapy for my fear of insects and bees and snakes and even some human being (Joking) LOL!!

By the way Im having a glass of berry juice exactly like yesterdays right now !!! :)

I looked at the package and t doesnt say anything about any USB2.0 being included!! I also checked the internet to C if I can buy this USB for my phone from anywhere with out any luck!!. here is a pic of my phone. The One On the Left is the one Im talking about:

I have ordered the Adobe CS3 Production Premium package through my College Bookstore since June 17th (its a video and graphic design program suit) and I still dont have it in my hands!!!!!!! I dont know whats going on with my Order!! I wonder if the problem is from ADOBE or the reseller that our college bookstore works with!!! Its extremely FRUSTRATING!!!!!!!!!!!!

On another note (applies to Iranians who have the Iranian Sattelite TV) what do U guys think about Project TAPESH aka TAPESH tv? I dont think of TAPESH as a Television station anymore. Its a very well thought out and precisely put together Project!!!Everyone in that project knows what he or she is supposed to be doing and they do it very well.Its neither fed by The Islamic Republic nor fed by the Opposition groups.It is definately very interesting to C where Project TAPESH is heading now that MANOOK KHODABAKHSHIAN has been added to the group and with Iran's most recent worsening Global situation .

Ok. Here we go again!!! The Canadian government has once again failed to protect its citizens or at least defend theire right to life abroad!!! If you live in Canda you have probabbly heard of the Jeff Towes situation. A 33 year old Canadian visiting Cancun Mexico on vacation and he mysteriously ends up with life threatening injuries and is therefor put into a medically induced comma by the doctors in Mexico!!. Boy, this sounds so familliar!!. Oh yeah it was only over a year ago when 19-year-old Adam De Prisco from Woodbridge was killed in Acapulco Mexico.His family says that he was beaten to death but the official Mexican report says that a run away driver has killed him.And Oh Yeah who can forget the Woodbridge couple Domenic and Nancy Ianiero who were murdered in theire hotel room in Mayan Riviera and the many more cases in the past couple of years!!!.

Myself being an Iranian Canadian, the case of the Iranian Canadian reporter Zahra Kazemi murdered by the Iranian government while there on assignment, really sticks to my mind.

So basically what it all comes down to is that Canadian citizens abroad make the perfect prey for anyone that is out there to harm us!!!!

Here is a video me and my classmates worked on as a school project. The storyline is supposed to be one of Suspence:

Hay. Its me again.


Its been a while. Ive been extremely buisy with school work and stuff.


Here is an examply of my work:

Typography class Assignment

Its a poster designed for Daggers and Double Daggers.

There is something thats been bugging the HELL out of me as of lately (Begining this term to be exact). I love this (Grant Macewan) college but seriously some of these teachers need to get their FREAKIN act together man!!!! I havent had a wink of sleep since January. They need to get off theire lazy butts and do some marking. Is that to FREAKIN much to ask from a teacher? They expect us to do everything correct and on time, but when it comes to them being responsible and giving us our marks back, they dont do zilch!!!! I seriously have no clue how I am doing in two of my courses and this worries me alot!!!! In our Typography class we've done 8 assignments and have only recieved marks for two of them!!! And there is only 3 weeks till the end of the term!!! What the HELL is going on? Not to mention our Production class. We only had one assignment for that class (TOAST project) which was handed in a few months ago and guess what!!!! It hasnt been marked yet!!! My FREAKIN GOD it was only a 3 FREAKIN minutes long video project!!!!


Get your acts together!!! Seriously!!! If I get an average below B for either one of these courses , its not going to fly well by me.


By the way that poster is one of my Typography assignments which has not been marked yet!!!!



Take care for now.

Oh boy. Ok. So I made it to the second term of the Middle Year of my Major ( Design and Motion Image ). Dont get me wrong, I am very excited about it. But that is just one side of the story.The uncertain future this brings me, is the other side.
For one thing the geography of this major is somewhat limited. Los Angeles, New York, Vancouver, Toronto and and and Hmmmmmmm, Well, thats it. 4 Places!!!! WoW!!!!! Is there another job with a future as limited as this one??
Do you know of one?
On the other hand ( here comes the Third side of things ) I love it. I can not imagine myself doing anything else.
Plus I truely believe that my love for the occupation will make me rather sucesfull at it.
Since I was a little child I wanted to be in the Entertainment industry one way or another. I always loved being around Microphones and Cameras.
I cant count the number of times I pretended to be a television Newscaster , sitting infront of a mirror reading the news.

Has Hollywood reserved a place for me in its future?
I guess thats for the Future to tell.


Untill then.

Unless you've been living under a rock, you have heard of the Rosie O Donnele and Donald Trump's so called feued. You may even be as sick of it as I am. Well, I dont know about you guys but I dont buy it at all. Last year same time, was Trump and Martha's Feud and now Trump and Rosie O Donnele. I think my Iranian readers will agree with me when I say that Donald, Rosie and Martha have taken a lesson from the dear Iranian sattelite TV broadcasters located outside of Iran ( TAPESH, NITV, ITN, Rangarang and ...) in how to improve their ratings by staging fake fights ( As Iranian say Jang Zargari ). Bravo. Bravo.They tested it on us Iranians first, Unfortunately it gave great results and now they are doing it Hollywood style themselves. Unbeleivale!!!!!!!.It is truely very sad.

Its been quiet awhile since I updated the last.Right now Im just sitting in the LRC ( Learning Resource Center ) of the Grant Macewan Center for The Arts campus, thinking of what to do for the next 3 hours while I wait for my schedueled 3:15 pm appointment with my AQUISITIONS professor. Oh What to do!!!!!.So far I have had a blast of a time going to this college to study DESIGN and MOTION Image.I may decide to post some of my school work up for you guys to C. I cant promise anything though.This is my last week at the college before our Christmas holidays. Speaking of Christmas, I love it. Its the most beautifull, peacfull, cozy time of year specially if you are living in a place with favorable weather conditions for snow!!!!
I cant for the Love of me understand why some religious minorities get offended by the Christmas traditions. I am a religious minority myself ( Muslim ). Well, thats it for now.

Well, September 11th came and went peacefully, thank God!!
I dont know if I have mentioned it here or not, but I have real bad arthritis. Rhumetoid Arthritis that is. I have tried evrything you could think of. Nothing has made any significant changes. Western medicine has horrific side effects and are not definite cures. Neither is alternative medicine. But it has slowed down the signs. Now Im trying this new method called NAET. It is a very interesting treatment procedure. Its not only for Arthritis. Supposedly it cures almost evry illness. Give it a search and learn more about it on the net, after you have finished reading my blog ofcourse.
Take care for now.

This is the best Iranian Blog Ive ever been in.

Immmmmmmm Baaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!!!!!!!!!

Its been a while since my last post. Lets C whats been going on since then.

Nothing much really. Well, I had a trip to Vancouver and Oh Yeah, the new Hezbullah attacks against Israel.
Other than that, its been pretty boring.Lets say that the Hezbullah party does get killed off, then what the hell is the Islamic regime in Iran going to do at night with its Right hand cut off?? I guess they would have to go back to sleeping with theire wives!!! Now thats a scary thought!!!!!

Going to a 5 day vacation starting tommorow!!! Yes!! After almost 6 years!!! Finally a much needed vacation!!! And to Vancouver of all places!!! I love that city!!! Maybe I will post some pics!!.

What a game!!! Yesturdays match between the Carolina Hurricanes and the Edmonton Oilers was absolutely amazing!!! A 4-0 win for the Edmonton Oilers.!! Go Oilers Go.

I just wish I could be as happy as I am about the Oilers's win, for the Iranian national soccer team in the World Cup.
Yesturday they lost theire chance of getting into the 2nd stage of this year's World Cup by loosing to Portugal with a 2-0 score.!! They did play a rather nice game though. The Portugese scored purely based on luck!!!

I am going to guess the outcome of tomorows World Cup 2006 match between Iran and Portugal

Iran 2 Portugal 1


iI am also going to guess the outcome of tommorows Stanley Cup game between the Edmonton Oilers and the Carolina Hurricanes


Oiler 3 Hurricanes 2

EDMONTON OILERS won theire match against the CAROLINA HURRICANES today 4-3 in the extra time. So I hope that this means Iran's national Soccer team will win theire June 17th match against Portugal . Hopefully with the same result!!! Yeah Right. lol

Is ALI DAEI also playing for the EDMONTON OILERS ??

The IRANIAN national soccer team lost its first World Cup 2006 match in an unprecedented 3 -1 score to Mexico.!! Nobody expected this!!! Not even the Mexicans . There are many theories as to what happened between the first half of the match and the second half. The common point in all these theories is that ALI DAEI ,the team's captain, now 37 is way too old to play soccer for 90 minutes. Iranians are now furious with this guy ( ALI DAEI ) who has been the team's star for over a decade , for not letting go of soccer and allowing a younger more energetic player to replace him. They are accusing him of everything from being a selfish brat to working for the Iranian Regime to make sure that the team does not win,in order to prevent people in Iran from going out on the streets to celebrate. Let me remind you that Iran's Mullas are terrified of people gathering in the streets, whatever the reason for the gathering . Anyways, Iran's next match is with Portugal on June 17th, 2006. I hope that the team does better in this match.

Whats up with the Edmonton Oilers?? Y the sudden loosing streak??? It seems like the Edmonton Oilers are also experiencing an ALI DAEI curse!! They have been loosing the last couple of matches and leaving their fans rather upset and depressed!!!
Quiet frankly the Oilers havent been much of a team eversince Wayne Gretzky left the team a few years ago. They got defeated 2-1 by the Carolina Hurricanes
this past Monday night.

Their next game, if I am not mistaken, is this Wednesday night. I really hope that they win.

Living in Alberta (One of world's largest oil production areas ), Canada, was scarry enough after the Spetember 11th 2001 New York attacks, until 2 days ago!!. Yap, it even got worst!!! When you live in Canada your mindset is that you are living in the safest country in the world. Lets face it , we Canadians, contrary to our neighbours down south, have a rather positive reputation in the world, therefor the thought of someone hating us enough to carry out a terrorist attack in Canada had never crossed my mind as Im sure the same is true for most other Canadians. Two days ago 17 Canadian citizens in Toronto were arrested and charged with attempting to carry out terrorist attacks on major Canadian targets in Toronto ( CN TOWER for one )!!!!!! I was shocked by this news!!!!! How sure can we now be that something will not happen in Canada ??? Its about time that Canadian authorities and us Canadian citizens wake up and smell the terrorists!!! seriously. This should be a wake up call for us!!! I am concerned as a Human, I am concerned as a Canadian citizen, and I am concerned as a Muslim born Iranian.


May god bless us all with more compassion for Humanity.

I knew it. I just knew it!!! I told you so. I guess I should recive my Golden Idol too. I just knew that TAYLOR HICKS was going to win This year's AMERICAN IDOL.

I guess I was wrong about ELLIOT YAMIN getting to the TOP 2 on AMERICAN IDOL. I still think that TAYLOR HICKS is going to win this year's AMERICAN IDOL.

Oh, before I forget!!! I think that ELLIOT YAMIN and TAYLOR HICKS are going to be the last 2 contestants . I think that TAYLOR HICKS is going to be the next AMERICAN IDOL .

WoW!! I guess MAHMOOD AHMADINEJAD has followed my path!!! lol I cant believe that he has actually written a letter to GEORGE W BUSH !!!!
Kinda like when I wrote that e-mail to Brother Thomas ( One and Two posts below ). I havent read AHMADINEJAD's letter yet!! Maybe one of these days when I am in the mood for an 18 page long ramble and rhetoric, ill read it.

So, CHRIS DAUGHTRY was voted off AMERICAN IDOL tonight!!!! WoW!!! Talk about a shock and a huge surprise!!!! My mom jumped out of her seat from the shock and my heart was just beating so fast, it was going to come out of my mouth!!!
Though to Brother Thomas's dismay I am totally fine now!!! lol

So Yesturday I wrote an e-mail to the author of the letter mentioned in my last post below. He responded to my email. Here is my e-mail to him and then his response to me:

1) My email :

Dear Madam or Sir Hi. I am writting to you regarding your email towww.iranian.com.First of all let me make sure that you remember word for word, what you wrote in that e-mail to the mentioned website :"Regarding your web site, in which you have solicited donations for survivors of the earthquake in Iran, you need to understand the earthquake was part of God's plan. First, let us admit that Muhammad himself was an infidel who rejected Jesus as the Son of God. Second, your people have consistently used the excuse of "jihad" to kill innocent people throughout the world. All people are God's children, and all killing is unjust; when we kill our brothers and sisters in Christ, we are, in fact, killing Jesus himself all over again. As Muslims reject Christianity, the frequent earthquake in Iran are God's retribution for your infidelity to Him. I feel sorry for the innocents but, let's face it: if any nation deserves it, it is yours. In all honesty, I pray for more earthquakes, plagues,starvation, and sickness to befall your nation:maybe then you will stop threatening the rest ofthe world with your idiotic behavior and rejection of the Son of God. Shalom, my brother.Order of Franciscans of the Lax Observance, Texas Catholic Worker, Round Rock, Texas." My name is ASHKAN and I am a Muslim born IRANIAN-CANADIAN. When I read your e-mail online,I was shocked!!!!I could not believe what I was reading!!!I am writting to enlighten you about the IRANIAN PEOPLE and take away your huge misunderstanding about us. Believe me when I tel lyou that over 90 % of the IRANIAN PEOPLE are against the blood sucking unhumane IRANIAN REGIME. If you see IRANIAN's on TV supporting the NUCLEAR program in street rallies and demonstrations in IRAN, its because they are forced by the REGIME to do that!!!If the financial future of the IRANIAN's in IRAN was provided for by a democratized WESTERN government, the people in IRAN would go to streets and topple this REGIME in a matter of days!!!And also let me tell you another thing. The people who do these horrible acts of TERRORISM in the name of ISLAM, are not real MUSLIMS and this is not the real ISLAM. As far as I know nowhere in QURAN, does it justify such inhumane acts of TERRORISM. Now, with all due respect I have a few questions for you: If the Earthquakes and other disasters in IRAN are acts of GOD or GOD's plan for the reasons you have mentioned in your e-mail,then tell me what is GOD punishing the AMERICAN PEOPLE for,during the HURRICANE SEASON every single year,with the the hundreds of tornados and huricanes that ruin homes and take away many lives?? Tell me, what have the poor people of NEW ORLEANS done to deserve such a huge disaster??? Or perhaps you think that the IRANIAN PEOPLE are responsible for these weather related diasters,and not GOD.!!!! I hope that now you see the IRANIAN PEOPLE seperate from the IRANIAN REGIME.May GOD bless us all with more compassion for humanity.



2) His response back to my e-mail :


Dear Madam or Sir,In response to your email, which I only skimmed after you acknowledged yourself as being a member of that Satanic cult, I have only this to say: when you write, " My name is ASHKAN," I thought how fitting, as it is probably pronounced "AshCan," which is where all Muslims and the Koran belong. Let's be honest. Mohammed was a sham and fakir, a con artist who, if alive today,would be working for the carnival. As for the Koran, it has as much divine inspiration as the Amarillo, Texas yellow pages. If you truly are sincere about wanting to be saved from sin, then renounce that Satanic cult (you know, the one that vows to wipe out all Jews, much like Hitler did). You have the audacity to praise this "religion" when its main purpose is to fulfill the SAME purpose as the Nazis? And then you end by writing, "May GOD bless us all with more compassion for humanity." I find it amusing that someone who advocates annihilation of the Jews has the temerity to ask God to bless us all with more compassion. It starts at home, pal, not in your mosque. (Those things are about as architecturally asthetic as the local Wal-Mart, by the way.) Take a long hard look into your soul, if Muslims have one, and then read "Philemon's Problem," an excellent book which will instruct you in the nuances of Christianity. The book is only 110 pages, so I suspect even someone of your limited intellect might grasp it; if not, I will try to write a cliff notes version for you. Shalom from all Christians and Jews, Brother Thomas, OFLOBy the bye, we really do believe non-believers who have no respect for human life will burn in hell. I will pray for you, but, given how far you have been brain-washed, can't make any promises.

I found the following letter on www.iranian.com , apparently it was written to that website:

" Regarding your web site, in which you have solicited donations for survivors of the earthquake in Iran, you need to understand the earthquake was part of God's plan. First, let us admit that Muhammad himself was an infidel who rejected Jesus as the Son of God. Second, your people have consistently used the excuse of "jihad" to kill innocent people throughout the world. All people are God's children, and all killing is unjust; when we kill our brothers and sisters in Christ, we are, in fact, killing Jesus himself all over again. As Muslims reject Christianity, the frequent earthquake in Iran are God's retribution for your infidelity to Him. I feel sorry for the innocents but, let's face it: if any nation deserves it, it is yours. In all honesty, I pray for more earthquakes, plagues, starvation, and sickness to befall your nation: maybe then you will stop threatening the rest of the world with your idiotic behavior and rejection of the Son of God. Shalom, my brother. Order of Franciscans of the Lax Observance, Texas Catholic Worker, Round Rock, Texas."

Here is the e-mail address of the letter's author: tommerrigan@yahoo.com

Drop him a line and educate this guy. Tell him that the IRANIAN PEOPLE are not backing the IRANIAN REGIME's ideology at all.

I saw "V for Vendetta" the other day. It was a great movie. But was it just me or was the movie suggesting that the BUSH administration had a part in the 9 11 terrorist attacks?? If you havent seen the movie, here is why I think this was the message of the movie: 8000 people of a city were killed due to dangerous killer virus. It was blamed on Terrorist groups. But then it was revealed that the British government was heavily involved in that situation and that it was all a coverup!!!

Good Grief!! every news channel is now talking about IRAN's nuclear program and AHMADINEJAD's speech yesturday ( APRIL 12th, 2006 ) !!! Do I sense a military strike coming form U.S. or ISRAEL?? God I hope not. How stupid can AHMADINEJAD and his group be?? Getting up there and gloating about theire Uranium Enrichment achievement!!!

May God bless us all.

Mohammed Reza Taheri-azar an Iranian terrorist, University of North Carolina graduate tried to run over students and faculty of the univercity in the campus ( !!! ) to avenge America's actions in the Middle East!!!!

This guy is why I have Rhumetoid Arthritis!!! People like him give us Muslims and Iranians a bad name!!! We dont need an even more negative image in the world right now!!! I think that MAHMOOD AHMADINEJAAD ( The IRANIAN president ) has already filled the limit on a world wide negative image for Iranians and Muslims!!!!.

I miss the days when the powers of the World waited till one war ended to start a new one!!!!
That way there was atleast there was always something to watch on your late night TV NEWS CAST!!!

Hay, EUROPEAN POWERS and you guys the ISLAMIST EXTREMISTS, pllllllllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaassssssssssssssssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeeee wait until the IRAQ war ends, before you start to really escalate this whole MUHAMMAD cartoon thing to a full blown war!!!!

Because CNN only broadcasts 24 hours aday, and with the time that the IRAQ war coverage takes I dont think that CNN could possibly have the time to cover another war at the same time!!!!!!!!

So at least for the sake of saving the entertainment value of your war, wait until the IRAQ war is over!!!

Long live the Iranian Bus drivers Union.


We are all behind you 100 percent!!!!




Be All that You Can Be !!!


May god bless you all.

Dear GEORGE NOORI first of all, I got to hand it to you, your show is absolutely phenomenal.You are one talented radio host.An iranian that has broken many typical sterotypes by not becoming a Restaurant owner or Persian Rug salesman or the owner of an Iranian sattelite TV. But come on man, dont tell the American public that IRAN should be bombed by by the U.S. and ISRAEL.!!We all hate this ISLAMIC theocratic regime in IRAN. Absolutely hate it!!!But I for one am not going to ask for my country to be bombed by others and have my friends and relatives killed!!!


Oh, do you guys remember when KHOMENEI said that every Iranian family shall have theire own PEYKAN car and theire share of Iran's OIL wealth, and Electricity and other services will be free???Anyways, Now these days for Iranians outside Iran, its more like Every Iranian family shall own a Sattelite Television Station !!!! lol And 26 of them too!!!



May God bless us Iranians, we are going to need it!!!!

Are there any COAST TO COAST AM listeners out there reading my blog??? For those of you that know I'm talking about the radio show hosted by the Iranian GEORGE NOORY and American ART BELL, I send my deepest condolences to you the fans and ART BELL for the passing of his beloved wife .


COAST TO COAST AM is an unbelivably interesting radio show dealing with the paranormal and its effects on the normal!!. It simply makes the hair on my body stand up!! WOW. I absolutely love the show. The show's web site is http://www.coasttocoastam.com . Believe you me, this is one website you will never forget after visiting it. It is not recommended for children under 18 years of age in my opinion.

This really scares me. This is truely troubling. It cant be good . Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo My God!!!!WTF are these guys thinking???


Oh Im sorry, I should probably tell you guys what I am mumbling about. Ok.Today an Iranian delegation was supposed to have a meeting with the IAEA ( International Atomic Energy Agency ) about theire Nuclear program. But the Freaki'N delegation decides to just not show up to the meeting!!!!!!! My God!!!!!!!! What are they thinking. And also this AHMADINEJAD guy is barking in Iran that he is going to continue with the Nuclear activities, no matter what.!!!!!!!!!!!

A reciepe for disaster I tell ya!!!!!!!!! DISASTER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


May god bless us all from demons and evils of this Earthly World.

You gotta love Canadian Politics!!!! Its just so quiet specially compared to American Politics.The only people in Canada who actually know whats going on in theire government, are those who follow Canadian politics very carefully. The TV news here is almost always about the Bush administration ( Or who ever is in charge in the States at the time ) . You rarely see Canada's Prime Minister Paul Martin on TV!!!! The other day I just found out that Canada is having a re election sometime this January!!! We just had one a few months ago!!!!As to whats going on?? I have no idea.

If BUSH sneeze's oneday, it will make it to the world media news right that second

Headlines: BUSH sneezed today!!!

Then on the other hand, Canada is having a re election and not even 20 % ( Not factual ) of CANADIANS are aware of it!!!!!
Aint that funny??
I think this the main reason why Canada is such a peacfull country in the world and in its foreign policy.

Sahand you are doing a great job at www.iransat.tk

Keep up the beautiful work.

Whats up with France?? Why all these riots all of the sudden??

I think its just waiting to become the second Middle East.
I mean the big weapon making companies of the world have to somehow make a profit!!! right?? After the whole Middle East issue comes to an end , when the IRAQ war is over, Palestanian and Israelis become friends and finally the Iranian regime is Finito,Trouble has to start somewhere else in the world, Why not France??? What do you guys think???

I live in canada. About 4 years ago when we first installed our FTA satellite dish to receive the Telestar 5 (Intelsat America 5) programs, we were one of the only houses to have such a dish in our city!!!!! All the other dishes were form subscription programming companies such as BELL EXPRESS VU. Now out of the 10 houses in our neighborhood 4-5 of them have the FTA dish!!!! It certainly has become more popular!!!!
The word is that some of the IRANIAN TV stations on Telestar 5 have decided to go to another (cheaper) satellite!!!What does that mean for us Telestar viewers???Do we have get one of those DISH Rotators that cost about 100American Dollars, so that we can continue watching these channels once they move to the other satellite??
I tell you, its just ridiculous !!!!
These Iranian sattelite TV's have done nothing but cause more seperation amongst the Iranian people world wide!!!!
First by becoming Political channels and Non Political channels, Then by seperating theire satellites for Iran, Europe and Middle East

and now in theire latest efforts for trying to seperate theire satellites for broadcasting on North America!!!!


How far will they go????

Oh, My God!!!! I was so right!!. Did you C that?? Sattar Deldar appologized the next day and now everything is fine!!! these fights are so bogus that they are funny!lol

I want to personally welcome POOPAK to the new show called ZENDEGI on Rang A Rang TV. One post down , I have written about the show.Poopak is very cute , Hot and Smart. So far there are 4 people on this show Tehran ,Bardya, Mitra and Poopak. Thats some Four some!!!!LoL . Dont forget to watch ZENDEGI on Rang A Rang every Monday night, at a rather late time of night and its the only LIVE show done at that time of night!!!

Now to another subject yet relating to the Iranian TV stations:


I am so glad to see that finally all the back stabbings and trash talkings between these stations is over!!!!

Ofcourse as you probably know the statement above is an April's fool joke or as we Iranians say Joke Sizdah
ast.

Cause as Y'all probably know that stuff is far from over!!!!!!!!!!!!!
C I had the sattelite about 3 years ago, then we moved several times and I didnt have the sattelite for the past 2 years up until a couple of months ago!!!! I thought that all this stuff was over and that these stations had grown up!!! Well, I was wrong. Boy was I ever wrong!!!!!!!!!!!! The new and very recsent fight is between APPADANA INTERNATIONAL ( SATTAR DELDAR ) and CHANNEL ONE ( SHAHRAM HOMAYOON ).
Some one in APPADANA INTERNATIONAL has acused Shahram Homayoon of working for Jomhoori -E- Eslami !!!!


Now Shahram Homayoon is supposedly taking Sattar Deldar to court.
Why do I say supposedly?? Because, Comeone guys, Do you still fall for these bogus fights??? Am I the only one that thinks they are bogus??? I truely think that all of these stations are the best of friends with each other. These fights are supposed to entertain us and at the same time keep us divided up . It is a totally repeat, old and tired scenario. Fist it used to be between the SIASI TV's ( eg NITV ) and the non SIASI tv's ( eg IRAN TV ). Then they seperated theire sattelites for IRAN. This way the PHASE ONE of theire project to keep us Iranian's divided was succesfully done .

Now its between the SIASI tv's themselves!!!!!!!

Fo gods sake, all Im asking you guys is to not take these fights seriously. Do not let them win by coming between us!!!!!

So, the other night ( Monday night ) I was fliping through our sattelite channels and and I came to Rang A Rang television, a station which I rarely watch. It was very late at night, about the time when all the LA Iranian tv's are on theire repeat shows for Iran's time.Anyway, a show called ZENDEGI was on Rang A Rang hosted by three people in theire ( maybe ) mid 20's. Two boys and a girl. The boys names were TEHRAN and BARDYA and the girl's name was MITRA ( very cute by the way ). I was surprised to find out that the show was LIVE at that time of night ( almost midnight EDMONTON's time ). These three ruled the station because there was no one else running it at that time except for one person in theire control room!!! ( How I wish I was a part of that show ) . I mean these three were free to say and do as they pleased and they did. Now that is a very coooooooooooooooool job. I do envy them for that. The show was basically just another phone in show. Nothing much to it, except for one thing. These three have somehow managed to attract the kids to mid teens of the Iranian age group born outside IRAN, which usually want nothing to do with theire Iranian heritage!!!. I applaud them for this big and serious achievment.so, dont forget to catch ZENDEGI on RANG A RANG every Monday night. Take care for now. Bye.

As Ganji gets closer to death ( god forbid ) jomhoori eslami regime's image abroad and in Iran gets darker and scarier by the minute. Hay maybe thats what they are going for!!!! .A very Halloween type of image.

I was watching Mahomood Ahmadinejad's presidential inaguration ceremony today on KHABAR ( IRINN ) network live ( Through telestar 5 sattelite ) and I noticed a few interesting things.
1) This one is perfect for David Letterman's THE LATE SHOW on CBS.As Ahmadinejad was giving his speech after signing the documents, the TV camera started panning around the parliment and showing the MP's. Some of them realized that they were on by watching the big TV screens ( pretended to be attentive ) and others who did not pay any attention were going about theire own buisiness. However the funny thing was I noticed that Iran's Defence minister ALI SHAMKHANI was putting his socks on!!! That just got me laughing so hard that I could not breath anymore!!!lol

2) The second thing ( on a more serious note ) was that this administration's policies seem to be dealing more with domestic issues rather than repairing IRAN's image internationaly ( Khatami was all about Iran's international image ). Although as you probably know I am totally againt this regime, I was surprised and somewhat happy to hear AHMADINEJAD talk about issues such as , Housing for young people, Jobs for young people and the overall improvement of the economy. Even if they do improve upon these issues for keeping the regime alive, it still benefits the people of IRAN.But lets all keep in mind that our ultimate goal and our only way to a stable future in the world of tommorow , is to get rid of this regime and hopefully do it peacfully.

By now you probably know that I am totally against the ruling regime in IRAN and favor boycotting elections. But I mean common!!!, if you are going to vote why choose the worst of the two candidates?? Ahmadinejad to be president!!!! What were you people thinking???

In my opinion this election was totally fixed. It was obvious the first round that RAFSANJANI had won the election. I think that this was a mini mirror of what happened In the 2000 U.S. Presidential elections. For some reason RAFSANJANI was not supposed to win this round. I wonder why??


C you later
Bye.

Micheal Jackson was declared Not Guilty!!. Thank god for that. I have never been a fan of his , but I always had the feeling that he was innocent of all these charges.

Penn, Sean Penn. Thats how sean Penn has been introducing himself the past few days he has been in Iran.
Yes, you heard me right!!. Sean Penn has been spending time in Iran these past few days to make a report of the political enviornment surrounding the upcoming Presidential Elections for the San Fransisco Chronicle news paper. this is not a joke, you can even check it out from www.reuters.com.
Here are some interesting pictures

Looking forward to hearing what he has to say about IRAN.

So, Iran's presidential election is coming up on June 17th. Boycotting it is a must in my opinion. What is really interesting is the events leading up to it. The WTO is opening the lines of communcation for discussing the possibility of Iran joining in. The U.S. government is possibly thinking of lifting the sanctions it imposed on IRAN about 10 year ago. Abu Musab Al Zarqawi is missing anf the U.S. government is accusing the IRANIAN government of harboring him !!!. Interesting turn of events, isnt it??It certainly makes one's head spin very fast. Hearing from relatives that live in Iran and often visit us in Canada, it appears that the social climate in IRAN has totally changed compared to 10 years ago.What they say is that the youth have way more freedom ( sexual ) compared to back then. is it true????


Take care for now.

آهــنـگ تـو اين زمونه بــهادر خـوارزمی توسـط آقایـان مـحمد ستاری بـه عـنوان باز سازنده آهنگ و کامبيز به عنوان خواننده آهنگ دزدیـده شد. چـندی پـيش بـا پخش يک موزيک ويدئو از تلويزيون طپش، جام جم و ای.پی.ان که برای آهنــگ تو اين زمـونه ساخته شده بـود با اسامی ای که بالا ذکر شـد پخــش شد در صـــــورتی کـــه آهـــنگ در دفــعات اول با صدای بهادر خوارزمی و آهـــنگ

I was watching CNN this morning and WOLF BLITZER was in QATAR ( a PERSIAN GULF state) and interviewed Rear Adm. CHRIS AMES of the U.S. Navy based in QATAR. Several times during this interview CHRIS AMES of the U.S. Navy referred to the PERSIAN GULF as the ARABIAN GULF !!!!!!!!!!!!. Are we going to just sit and let the U.S. Navy give our PERSIAN GULF to the Arabs??? I personally will not rest till I get a response out of them for this very irresponsible action of theires!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


C U later.

I am attending Grant Mcewan Community College Center of the Arts. The girls here are extremely HOT. But I really miss Krista. She was perfect. Anyways, NOROOZ is only 4 days away and it just stated snowing here in EDMONTON, again!!!!!. How springy is that?? I kind'a wish that I was in Toronto for the NOROOZ. The other day I was watching KHABAR news channel from Iran through internet ( By the way what a briliant broadcasting technology and neat graphics this channel has!!!! ) and it showed a news conference held by KHATAMI in which he insisted on keep going with the nuke's program!!!!! My god, these guys never give up, do they??? They wont give up until U.S. or ISRAEL bomb theire plants!!!! I hope it doesnt get to that!!!. I really hope so.

I hear that IRAN KHODRO and its SAMAND are going to places in the world. That really makes me happy. I hope that oneday I see SAMAND cars here in North America. Speaking of Iran Khodro, Paykan's thrirty something years of reign is coming to an end very soon. I hope so does this regime's life.Both of these events should be very interesting to see. I have to go nw. Bye.

NOROOZ ( The Iranian New Year ) of 1384 is coming. MARCH 20th, 2004 is FARVARDIN 1st, 1384.

Unfortunately it seems that the Iran Nuke's issue is getting cold and nothing is being done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!On the positive side I have heard that this ASHOORA day, in Mohseni sq a bunch of young girls and guys gathered in the street and had a party !!!. Now that is good news, especially since it really pissed off the hardliners in IRAN.

Hopefully this NOROOZ and the new year of 1384 will bring many big and positive changes for IRAN. I have to go now to watch SIMPLE LIFE 2. in this episode PARIS and NICOLE got to a Television station. Bye.

So, W finally metioned Iran's name in his State Of The Union speech. I guess its our turn now!!!. I just hope that they go about Iran differently than they did for Iraq.The sight of that Iraqi lady hugging the parents of the fallen American soldier was the key to peace between the anti Bush people with the outcome of this war (Iraqi Elections ).

Tommorow Im going to EDMONTON MOTORSHOW 2005 to cover the event for my website http://groups.msn.com/peykan . Hopefully you will see the pictures soon. I just wish that the day comes when SAMAND of IRAN KHODRO and other Iranian products are presented at North American auto shows.

Take care for now.

Hay evryone. How are you ??Well, Shahzaadeh Reza Pahlavi is now endorsing the Referendum in IRAN. This should be interesting to watch. The Iranian presidential election is set for this JUNE ( June 17th, 2005 ) and I am really curious to see who is the Islamic Government's pick for replacing Khatami. I remeber the Elections 8 years ago and how Khatami was the talk of the town here in the Western media way before he became the President. But now that there is only 5 months left till the next Election, there is no talk of the next pre elected President!!!!.
You Iranians that have the Sattelite TVs , What happened to SourE Esraafil?? Howcome he is not in AZADI TV anymore??

Its been almost two weeks now since my new College Term started. I havent seen Krista. I really miss her. I hope that she has passed all her couses.There isnt a second in the day that Im not thinking about her. But I wonder if telling her how I felt was the right move ??? I hope I didnt scare her off. Well, Ill talk to you guys later. Hopefully sooner than a month from now. Bye.

Well, Im back after 12 days. Ive been very buisy with final projects and whatnot for my college program. I hope that I pass everything. Specially my Design History class. By the way, last week I finally asked Krista if she has a boyfriend or not , and it turns out that she does.But I told her that I have a huge crush on her. She was very sweet about it. I feel so relieved now that she knows. It was like I was carrying a huge weight on my shoulders. I really like her and care for her alot. I hope I get the chance to become friends with her this coming semester. Its like she lights up my day everytime I see her. Today was the last day of our semester and our Christmass break starts for the next two weeks. Im going to be bored out of my mind. take care for now. Bye.

So, National Geographic has decided to change the name of
" Persian Gulf " to "Arabian Gulf " . National geographic, you better listen up !!!!! As of now to 70 milion people of the world, you are nothing but a piece of shit!!!. I hope that the "Arabian Gulf " floods all those countries that decided 26 years ago to bring khomeini to Iran and ruin our country.


On a much happier note, for those of you following my Krista thing, I got to talk to her the other day. Just for a few seconds before she left the class. I asked her how she manages to be so sweet all the time. She ( in the cutest and most addorable way) said " Awwwwwwwwwwwwwhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I guess its just the way I was brought up ". Then we said bye and left the class room. This Monday, if she doesnt skip class, I will just grab her at the end of the class and tell her how I feel about her. I better go and practice what Im going to say to her . C U guys later.
