the Fountain

What if a man lives forever, in his solitude, in the grief of his lost beloved one?

The Fountain is about love, eternity and death. It is a torture for the first one hour and more, but in its finale, the last 15 minutes, it becomes an amazing visual narrative for the conclusion of all abstract concepts and scattered lines shown before. For this reason, I highly recommend watching the movie in a theater if you are interested enough to follow its swirling plots to the end. Patience is the key to enjoy this movie, like the one to enjoy a piece of classical music. Otherwise, probably you would have the same idea as the guy on the back row, when in the end he said "what the f*** happened?!"

Am I interested in watching it again? Sure, but with the one whom I love. I need to hold her hand firmly and kiss as the movie goes on.

Ecological Footprint

My score turned to be 14 acres. The average ecological footprint in the US is 24 acres per person, and the worldwide average is only 4.5 biologically productive acres per person.

If everyone started living like me, we would need 3.1 planets!

The Final Countdown

The fundamentalist candidate, Ahmadinejad, won the Islamic Iran's presidency. Since he looks like a real fundamentalist, I put this picture of Kate Beckinsale instead of his, so the search-engines show something beautiful!

She looks like a girl that I used to date years ago in Iran, and I don't know if it was because of Kate Beckinsale that I loved my date, or it was because of my date that I loved Kate Beckinsale!
Any how, both my dating, and the reform in Iran had unfortunate fates.

About Kate Beckinsale, if you have not watched Serendipity, you are definitely missing something. The movie is a sort of life vertigo, with a mild satire, but not a very realistic ending. Serendipity is one of my most favorite movies; I have watched it more than 30 times, and still love to watch it.

12 months

In the eve of Norouz (the Persian New Year), I look at a year round changes out of my apartment window, in Hemphill building at Georgia Tech.

sweet memories

...sometimes it is so sad to talk with persons that you have to have only a memory of them.
