Now this looks like something out of the movies! You can read about this new Michelin tire here.

خاطره

امروز دارم می رم سخنرانی دکتر قمشه ای رو گوش بدم ولی احساس می کنم بیشتر از اینکه بخوام بشنوم اون چی می خواد بگه دلیل رفتنم اینه که شنیدن حرفهاش خاطره های گذشته رو تو ذهنم زنده می کنه

پی نوشت: یه قصه خیلی قشنگ تعریف کرد دیشب که نوشته یه نویسنده اروپایی بود، از من که توقعی نیست اسمش یادم باشه ولی قصه ... یکی وارد یه باغ پرنعمت و زیبا شد. یه رودخونه پر آب توش جاری بود و پرنده های زیبایی روی درختها آواز می خوندن. کمی که جلوتر رفت یه پرنده توی یه قفس دید که از بی آب و دانگی تلف شده بود. میله ها باعث شده بودن از اون فراوانیها نتونه استفاده کنه ... آخرش اینجور تموم کرد: نذارین میله هایی که دورخودتون می کشین جلوی بهره مند شدنتون رو از زندگی بگیره

crossroad

The best decision is the one you never regret no matter how the circumstances change!

دیوار

یه چیزایی در من خیلی عوض شده، مخصوصا وقتی درباره زندگی و رفتارهای اجتماعی با کسی حرف می زنم حرفهایی رو از خودم می شنوم که اصلا انتظارش رو ندارم. به نظرم می رسه که این تغییر در بیشتر زمینه ها مثبت است ولی ... حداقل یه چیز هست که من قدیم درباره من جدید دوست نداره. من جدید یه دیوار جلوشه، یه دیوار که باعث می شه یه فاصله رو با خیلیها حفظ کنه. فکر کنم این دیوار رو من قدیم واسه من جدید ساخت که ازخیلی چیزها جداش کنه، آخه من قدیم ضربه های زیادی خورد به خاطر اینکه به همه خیلی نزدیک می شد. حالا من جدید باید تصمیم بگیره این دیوار رو واسه من آینده نگه داره یا نه؟

paralyzed

Well I’m not paralyzed
But, I seem to be struck by you
I want to make you move
Because you’re standing still
If your body matches
What your eyes can do
You’ll probably move right through
Me on my way to you

- Finger Eleven

advice

Listen to this ...

فکر

داشتم برای خودم توضیح می دادم که دیگه بزرگ شدی و گاهی درست و غلط بودن تصمیمهات رو خیلی نمی شه تشخیص داد، خودت که هیچ، کس دیگه هم شاید نتونه بگه. همین جور که این حرف از ذهنم گذشت پیش خودم فکرکردم آیا این یعنی حالا خیلی هم مهم نیست چه تصمیمی بگیرم؟ نه دیگه اینکه نمی شه. برم بیشتر درباره اش فکر کنم

پیاز داغ

Clinical Gastroeneterology and Hepatology بر اساس تحقیقات جدیدی که در مجله
چاپ شده مصرف روزانه پیاز و زرچوبه در پیشگیری سرطان روده بسیار موثر است؛ بارها به این فکر کرده بودم که ما چرا هر روز توی همه غذاهامون پیازداغ می ریزیم!؟

reality

Reality is an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.

my list

Under an old brass paperweight is my list of things to do today
Go to the bank and the hardware store, put a new lock on the cellar door
I cross 'em off as I get 'em done but when the sun is set
There's still more than a few things left I haven't got to yet

Go for a walk, say a little prayer
Take a deep breath of mountain air
Put on my glove and play some catch
It's time that I make time for that
Wade the shore and cast a line
Pick up a long lost friend of mine
Sit on the porch and give my girl a kiss
Start livin', that's the next thing on my list

Wouldn't change the course of fate but cuttin' the grass just had to wait
'Cause I've bot more important things like pushin' my kid on the backyard swing
I won't break my back for a million bucks I can't take to my grave
So why put off for tomorrow what I could get done today

Like go for a walk, say a little prayer
Take a deep breath of mountain air
Put on my glove and play some catch
It's time that I make time for that
Wade the shore and cast a line
Pick up a long lost friend of mine
Sit on the porch and give my girl a kiss
Start livin', that's the next thing on my list

Raise a little hell, laugh 'til it hurts
Put an extra five in the plate at church
Call up my folks just to chat
It's time that I make time for that
Stay up late, then oversleep
Show her what she means to me
Catch up on all the things I've always missed
Just start livin', that's the next thing on my list

Under an old brass paperweight
Is my list of things to do today

low carb

So much for the low carb diet. A new study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine says that it's the glycemic index that matters not the carbs and that carbohydrates with low glycemic index can help you lose weight! I have always disliked low carb diets since I believe in well-balanced eating; and now I have one more reason ...

life

I always thought of life like this, now someone has drawn it.

about me

You know that there is a need in people to discover themselves through tests, because simply put they can't think of a better way like analysing their own behaviour to understand themselves. Anyhow, this is what the color test reviled about me!

• You are a person who approaches their finances aggressively and with purpose. You make sure you have covered every angle by consulting the best professionals, then move in for the attack.
  
  
• Fashion is marketing vice that only the weak fall victim to. You like to rise above it all, dressing in a way that is your own unique style.
  
  
• You are aggressive in business, but tend to take the backseat when it comes to your personal life. You are more comfortable talking about work than relationships.
  
  
• You make sure that your possessions will boost your image, no matter whether it's a necessity or not. If one of your friends has it, you must have it as well.
  
  
• A good listener. You are comfortable allowing others to take the spotlight and share their adventures. You are protective about your friendship and ensure the best for your friends.
  
  
• You are a no-nonsense, practical person. You make sure that you are there when your friends need you, and like to solve their problems for them.
  
  

driving

• Gas prices in Vancouver are estimated to be about 27 cents per liter overprice! Just think of how much is going into the gas companies pockets. The explanation is that after Catrina they just didn't see a reason to reduce the prices and so it just went up from there ...
  
  
• Statistics have always shown that women are better drivers than men, based on getting into fewer accidents. But as it looks that is about to change; in the past few years women's accidents have increased by 14% and accidents caused by men have declined 10%. Although men are still in the lead, with the current trend it won't be too long before that changes.
  

cool!

Call me out of date but I just clicked on the friends map tab in Orkut and discovered that it shows you a somewhat estimate of your friends' sparsity around the world; now that is cool!

catching up

There used to be a middle aged man at the local grocery shop who would stand at a distance and ask if he could return the cart. I always said yes, and usually tipped him rather generously. In his eyes I could see that this is not the life he is used to. Last week when I went shopping I was approached by a taller younger fellow, and when I said no to him another one and another one ... WHAT? It seemed all the homeless people where there, it felt very uncomfortable. As I drove off upset over all the harassment I thought, where is the old guy? Did he become rich? Is he now living the good life? Or did he move for some other reason? Wish there was a way to find out ...

some people

Some people you talk to when you're happy, some when you're sad. There are people you talk to when you need to make a decision and then there are those who you just hang out with ... just don't confuse them!

چه حرفا

یه وقتایی خیلی طول می کشه که آدمها رو بشناسم؛ اینکه راست راستی کی هستن. ولی دیگه حالا یاد گرفتم که اون حسی که اول بار ازشون دارم تا حد خوبی درسته. یکی دو بار ناخودآگاه یه چیزی رو به کسی گفتم و مدتی بعد فهمیدم چرا همچین چیزی به ذهنم رسیده ... خوشحالم اون چیزی رو که اون موقع خواستم بگم گفتم
