Saint Peter’s Gate!

Yesterday, I went to one of my friend’s home. He is really interesting and lovely friend for me.
Sometimes, he helped me in to my lessons.
His name is Rostam, his name is the same as one character of Shahname Ferdosi’s book. (Shahname Ferdosi = One of popular iranian epic poem book.)
I learn, very thing in life by Rostam.
I love he and I think he loves me too! (Feeling are mutual!)
“he told me, do you want to listen to my favorit song?”
I listened to it, it was really nice.
You can read it here.

Song: (Saint Peter’s Gate)
By Chris de Burgh
Album: “Quiet Revolution”
Years Released: 1999

I was lost in the dark,
And the fear was in my heart,
All around me the forest and the rain,
Then with the flash of a light, I saw it in the night,
I must be getting near – Saint Peter’s Gate!

When I went through the door, he was standing in the hall,
An old man with a beard of shining white,
He said “I’ve been expecting you, let me show you to your room”,
And he took me all the way by candlelight,
And lying there on the bed, a book, black & red,
My name was written on the front in gold,
And when I opened it up, there were pictures of my life,
And a voice began to call from down below;

Nobody will get through, nobody,
Not even you, can escape the Judgement Day,
Nobody will be spared, Heaven is only there,
For the ones who satisfy them at – Saint Peter’s Gate.

“Come with me” said that old man, as he took me by the hand
“There is someone here that you have seen before,
In this room on the left, a man who did his best,
To bring joy and happiness to one and all;

But in that room on the right, a dictator in life,
We’ve been waiting for him here,as you can tell,
For all the blood he’s spilled,
And for all the ones he’s killed,
We condemn him to eternity in hell;

Nobody will get through, Nobody,
Not even you, can escape the Judgement Day,
Nobody will be spared,Heaven is only there,
For the ones who satisfy them at – Saint Peter’s Gate.

I woke up with the dawn, there was someone in my room,
A woman, like an angel all in white,
And then she told me “You must run, for your time has yet to come,
Go now, before they change their minds”,

And from the window I saw,
A thousand or more,
Bringing that dictator to his knees,
And his cries broke the sound,
Of my footsteps on the ground,
As I made it to the safety of the trees:

Nobody will get through,
Nobody not even you,
Can escape the judgement day,
Nobody will be spared,
Heaven is only there,
For the ones who satisfy them at…
Saint Peters Gate.

Nobody will get through,
Nobody not even you,
Can escape the judgement day,
Nobody will be spared,
Heaven is only there,
For the ones who satisfy them at,
St Peters Gate.

I Blog Alone!

I spill my guts online
At live dot home dot blog my name dot com
No one hits my site
But it’s home to me and I blog alone

I dish out brilliant quotes
On the blogger board of broken links
Guess who leaves me notes?
Yes, I’m the only one and I blog alone

I blog alone
I blog alone

I blog alone
I blog a-

I work all
Day to make the Web admire me
It’s not my
Job; if my boss knew, she’d fire me
That’s fine; the
New York Times would beg to hire me
Till then I
BLOG ALONE

Bla-ah, bla-ah, bla-ah, blah-og
Bla-ah, bla-ah, blah-og

I mock celebrities,
Politics and sports and TV shows
Then I Google me
And hope it links to where I blog alone

I can’t sleep at night
Even on vacation far from home
I pull up my site
To know I’m still online and I blog alone

I blog alone
I blog alone

I blog alone
I blog a-

My only
Friends are avatars and smileys
I humbly
Post my views then praise them highly
Some day I’ll
Sell my soul like Bill O’Reilly
Till then I
BLOG ALONE

Bla-ah, bla-ah, bla-ah, blah-og
Bla-ah, bla-ah

I blog alone
I blog alone

I unmask media lies
On the blogger board of broken links
Guess who leaves replies?
Yes, I’m the only one and I blog alone

Hey, look, they
Praised me in the News on Sunday
My site got
Thirteen million hits in one day
Okay, I
Lied, but that could happen some day
Till then I
BLOG ALONE

Children Learn What They Live!

If children live with CRITICISM
They learn to CONDEMN.
If children live with HOSTILITY
They learn to FIGHT.
If children live with RIDICULE
They learn to BE SHY.
If children live with SHAME
They learn to FEEL GUILTY.
If children live with TOLERANCE
They learn to BE PATIENT.
If children live with ENCOURAGEMENT
They learn to HAVE CONFIDENCE.
If children live with PRAISE
They learn to APPRECIATE.
If children live with FAIRNESS
They learn JUSTICE.
If children live with SECURITY
They learn to HAVE FAITH.
If children live with APPROVAL
They learn to LIKE THEMSELVES.
If children live with ACCEPTANCE and FRIENDSHIP
They learn to FIND LOVE IN THE WORLD.

Happy Norooz!

Norooz Lady (Happy Norooz!)
Norooz, Persian New Year!
Year of 2566 (1386)
In harmony with rebirth of nature, the Persian New Year Celebration, or Norooz, always begins on the first day of spring, March 20th of each year. Norooz ceremonies are symbolic representations of two ancient concepts – the End and Rebirth. About 3000 years ago Persian’s major religion was Zoroastrianism, named in honor of its founder Zoroaster, and arguably the world’s first monotheistic religion. Zoroastrians had a festival called “Farvardgan” which lasted ten days, and took place at the end of the solar year. It appears that this was a festival of sorrow and mourning , signifying the end of life while the festival of Norooz, at the beginning of spring signified rebirth, and was a time of great joy and celebration. Norooz was officially acknowledged and named “Norooz” by mythical Persian emperor, Shah Jamshid, from Achaemenid Dynasty (500 BC). Ashaemenied created the first major empire in the region and built Persepolis complex (Takhte Jamshid) in the city of Shiraz. Norooz in Persian means “New Day” and brings hope, peace and prosperity to the world and has been celebrated among people regardless of ethnic background, political views or religion in many countries around the globe such as Iran, Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Turkey, Uzbekistan, Pakistan, Georgia, Iraq, Tajikistan, Syria ,Armenia and India. Some of the activities during Norooz are Spring cleaning, buying new cloths, painting eggs, family reunion, giving presents, visiting neighbors and friends and celebrating by having a picnic on the 13th day of Spring. Happy Norooz!
