The Day Of The Dead: a good start a dull ending

two days ago i watched the day of the dead. that zombie movie.
it started well(he who had watched knows why) but proceeded so unexpectedly.there was no real suspension and the horror tended to be more Sci-fi.
by tradition zombies are slow stupid creatures (if you can call them creatures). but here zombies were so fast and furious.
the idea of how people are zombified is kind of thread bear now. the virus story is pretty old, yet interesting (not here).
we watched the day of the dead with a couple of guys and after a while horror was changed into comedy. but I'm still happy we didn't watch that teenage one.
there are some other considerable problem such as one of the final scenes in which they ignite the propulsion tanks and only zombies burn and the walls and other things around are just as they were.
or the explosion of head when the set fire on zombies by cocktail Molotov. that was THE joke. if you keep and empty spray on fire at that distance it wouldn't even get hot let alone explosion but the zombie tissue seems to be more temperature sensitive.
all in all it was a run of the mill entertaining movie but if you want to buy it think of something better instead.

M.A.N.

now a bit of my life:
i was born 23rd of December 1992 so now I'm nearly 17.
in Iran we start going to school from 7.and so did i.i was a pretty good student so i was accepted in one of the best junior high schools in Mashad and I've finished three out of four grades of senior high school in the same school's senior high school branch.
in Iran there is not mixed school by means of gender but the universities are.it's like freedom after 12 years of imprisonment for many.
for my future I've decided to become a clergy man and I'm planning to study psychology or sociology at university.don't panic, I'm not a redneck. I'm seeking new ways and new things. for example the majority of Muslims think Christians worship three gods and Christians know they don't.
or some Sunnis think Shias worship the dead while they don't. I'm quite satisfied with my decision but i must counsel a couple of more experienced guys.I'm like a babe in the woods.
if you've got any idea I'm yearning to know it.

Best Wishes

Ten Little Niggers

Image via Wikipedia

Today i finished reading "ten little niggers" by Agatha Christie(the translation). it was amazing. the uncertainty you can feel in the story was wonderful. murders so precisely choreographed and up to the end of the story you can't even the identity if the murderer. Agatha Christie must have had a super creative mind to write such a dynamic story. the fear it
induces is out standing. you are not in that stifling atmosphere but you can easily feel it.
i strongly recommend everyone to to read it.

my broadband Internet

Finally I got my broadband Internet.
Truth be told, the term broadband in Iran is a 128kps connection for home users and we paid 29000 Iranian rials for it. something around 25$. I don't want to be unappreciative but compared to many other countries it's funny, isn't it?
But that's better than the previous dial up connection anyway.
I wanted to watch Hillary Clinton's concession speech but it was filtered. They can come up with the excuse of being political for it. But a world of warcraft video is nothing dangerous for any regime and it's filtered as well. in fact sites like youtube are filtered.
At the moment I'm enjoying my ADSL connection. It's like riding a Ferrari after riding a bicycle for many years.
And the last thing: as a student am eager to learn about other countries system of education. If you know any personal source please inform me.

BBC Documentary

The image you have from Iran is probably distorted.
A fact file with no judgment is the best way to discover the truth, in my viewpoint.
Of course if you showcase an American daily life for me and a Japanese guy our judgments will definitely be different, but at least it's personal, not affected by external factors and is not exaggerated.
Talking about the BBC's documentary about Iran, it does not provide a complete image of Iran but it can kick start process of getting to know Iran, the way it really is.


Regah Omar, a BBC reporter returned to Iran, this time not to interview politicians but to interview Tehran. The capital city of Iran.
Maybe it is time to bury the hatchet and watch the documentary as a neutral spectator.
Regah Omar starts with less privileged areas. He describes the people in those areas of Tehran unshakable in their faith in spite of their economic condition.
He often refers to politics, such as talking about justice, the idea about it among Iranians and the movements seeking it, like the Islamic revolution and election of president Ahmadinejad.
Perhaps the purpose of the effort to talk to different Iranians from different classes, sometimes different like day from night, is to embody the Iranian society as a whole. I haven't watched the whole documentary so my judgments are still incomplete.
The other good point is that the documentary provides additional facts in some cases such as the scene of tapping in gravestone in order to communicate with the dead. I don't know whether it is right or not(according to Islam), but it sounds like a superstition as it was mentioned by Regah Omar.
All in all, up to here Omar's attempt to picture the Iranian society, in particular Tehran, hasn't failed.it has been just, precise and to the point, to some extend.

Now I Am On Net !

WOW
exhilarating.finally I uploaded my first image in web.
this is me (but not exactly).

today(or better to say yesterday cuz now it's 2:30 here) we watched the BB C's documentary about Iran.we did not have enough time but up to where we managed to watch it surpassed my expectation about BBC.The image i had from BBC in my mind was a liar now this image has started to disappear.
i recommend you to watch it.although the image it provides from Iran is not the whole fact,it may reform what you thought about my country.It's obvious that you can not form a real idea about a country unless you live there for a good while.
one thing thing to mention is that not all Iranians speak English so badly.in comparison with the guys Regah talked to i speak a far better English.

Hi there!

I am a 16 years old boy who is living somewhere in east.a guy who can't travel much because firstly he doesn't have much money & secondly the rules of his country restrict him.
I'm like a penguin who can't fly but enjoys hearing the birds telling their stories from distant lands.
in fact my main aim is to keep my English in use and also get to know a few people and somehow expressing my self.
I think it's enough for a new comer in the world of bloggers.
Your comments will surely bring happiness to my heart.
And finally, sorry for the mistakes I've made and will make. I'll be grateful if you point them out.
Best Wishes
