حمید مصدق – سيب

تو به من خندیدی
و نمی دانستی
من به چه دلهره از باغچه همسایه
سیب را دزدیم
باغبان از پی من تند دوید
سیب را دست تو دید
غضب آلوده به من کرد نگاه
سیب دندان زده از دست تو افتاد به خاک
و تو رفتی و هنوز
سالهاست که در گوش من آرام آرام
خش خش گام تو تکرار کنان
می دهد آزارم
و من اندیشه کنان غرق این پندارم
که چرا
خانه کوچک ما سیب نداشت

Mossadegh’s “Sib” [Apple];
Same one I memorized the last time I was feeling so deeply lost…….

The Days……

Author: Aasemoon

30 Oct

So… to make the long story short, my mom’s flying back home on Wednesday afternoon. Well, you might have some idea what that implies. Meanwhile I’m also learning some other heart-bleeding lessons. Things that I don’t know how I’m supposed to interpret… and how I should feel about… and I’m just.. shocked. Oh well. “Lovely” days altogether!

Below are the lyrics I just received in an email from a very dear friend. Thank you. I love this song by the way.

PHIL COLLINS – TRUE COLORS

You with the sad eyes
Don’t be discouraged
Oh I realize
It’s hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness, inside you
Can make you feel so small

But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that’s why I love you
So don’t be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow

Show me a smile then,
Don’t be unhappy, can’t remember
When I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you’ve taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I’ll be there

And I’ll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that’s why I love you
So don’t be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow

So sad eyes
Discouraged now
Realize

When this world makes you crazy
And you’ve taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I’ll be there

And I’ll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that’s why I love you
So don’t be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors, true colors

Cos there’s a shining through
I see your true colors
And that’s why I love you
So don’t be afraid to let them show
Your true colors, true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Beautiful, like a rainbow…

First of all, a note to the guys and gals who asked for the Distillery photos. I’ve now posted a few of those in my phlog. Just for you. 🙂
With regards to amv’s comment on the last post, the Demovibes website seems to be up and about now: www.demovibes.org
What else….oh yeah. In my on going scene-music diggage, I finally found…well… let me try to explain to you what I found. The Assembly 2006 freestyle music competition happened on around 7:45 of a Saturday morning [Toronto time]. So I was half asleep when the competition started, and I was watching the web-tv on my notebook in bed. I remember hearing this fantastic song that took my breath away, but somewhere in between my struggle to open my eyes and a silly stream blink, I ended up missing the song info. So now after going through almost all the competition entries, finally I found it. “When Time Stands Still” by PK, check it out.
Also, I know that some of you have already discovered this, but if you haven’t, make sure you check out “Aufgewacht Und Tee Gemacht” by Genox. [Ummm…”Woke up and made tea”?! I just hope I got the spelling right.] I’ve been listening to this about 10 times a day recently. One of the best that I’ve heared from this artist so far. Absolutely brilliant.
These 2 tracks speak directly to my heart. <3 <3 :>
And that’s about it for now……

Update: Umm Guys…there’s a new comment on the first part of the display report that you might like to check out. 🙂

Kool Stuff Summary

Author: Aasemoon

23 Jun

YAY I’m free! My 4 days of doom are officially over and done with. Now I get the chance to sit down, organize my mind and post a new log. Hmmmm….there’s a lot to say…wonder where to start. First things first I guess.
I’ve been asked to post more often! Well thank you for your interest, and I will certainly try to do so. The trouble, you see, is that I have this overly hectic schedule, consisting of: school – work – research – projects – and… well…. hopefully “life” if I ever get any. So that means as much as I’d love to post logs often, I just can’t always steal the time to do so. But again as I said, I’ll sure try.
Now, back to the recent “Hot Topic”. If you’re still wondering what exactly happened around here during the last week, and where the apparent frenzy came from, well here’s what happened.
It all started when my sense of curiosity took me on quite a trip, which resulted in the “discovery” [:P] of some of the most beautiful works of art I’ve ever encountered. I posted a log about this “demos” which caused a bit of a big bang. Then I decided to share the experience with a group of artist friends. We had a little get together to which we refer as “the display”, where we watched a few of these demos and had some discussions. The idea of displaying the demos wasn’t something that I had pre-planned. It popped into my mind right on the scene and I’m happy to say it turned into quite the event. The crowd showed some strong feelings toward the 3 demos from the Greek demo group known as ASD, which honestly was no big surprise since…well….so did I! 😛
Big thanks goes to Dennis and Tim for helping out with everything, and my deepest heartfelt regards goes to the guys and gals who let themselves burst into tears at certain scenes, including that => scene from”Planet Risk“, [Tim, don’t think I missed your face! :P], and to my friend Alex [aka Anders] who now has to pay for a brand new brain, since his old one broke during the display of “Animal At traction“. [Does SONY manufacture VAIO brains? hmmmm….nevermind.] You might get a deal on eBay. And of course the biggest and loudest of Cheers, Kudos and You Rox goes to ASD for their super brilliant creations.
As for this <= part of "Iconoclast” during which I myself pretty much lost it …..well we all thought it’s a sand-clock on a music box. As it turns out [thanks aMUSiC for the info] this thing is no music box! It’s actually an “Antikythera Mechanism”, an ancient Greek analog computer!! [info here]. Now is that kool or what??
And as for the sound track for “Animal Attraction” which successfully put us all into trance after listening to it about 10 times straight….here are the lyrics as requested:
A smell in the air,
a game never fair,
I’m holding the dice and you just move a square,
You’re facing the wall,
once again when I roll,
Not letting the fate to take it’s toll..
Don’t you fear my maze,
It’s natural to bite your lip and tremble in this fashion,
Mesmerize my gaze,
Touch me and surrender to the animal attraction.
[Lyrics by aMUSiC]
Ok…now I’m ending this log since it has already gone too long, and honestly I have no idea if there was anything else that I was supposed to mention here. If I’m missing something, please let me know and I’ll add. And by the way, regarding the question of which of these was actually my fave….oh for cryin’ out loud! Is that even a question? I think I’ve already been loud enough about it that the whole world knows and my sound system is crashing….it’s called “Animal Attraction”. =>

UPDATE: IMPORTANT NEWS, ASD’S WEBSITE IS NOW BACK ONLINE! CHECK OUT!
[There’s also a permanent link in the links menu, for future reference. Ummm….do check out, they have wallpapers! :P]

Update: This page was suggested by one of the visitors who goes by the nickname Asusu. I’m adding it here so it won’t get lost in the pile of comments. [Thank You!] 🙂

Duh!

Something’s terribly wrong with me today! I’ve been debugging the simplest mere extension circuit for hours now and I still can’t get it to work! All bloody analog…nothing fancy. Now I have a blown up op-amp & 2 burnt finger tips, and after looking around for God knows how long I just realized that I have a reversed zener-d and for some reason I just couldn’t see it. Golly…I’m quite sure there are a few more of “that” type of problems laying around staring at me right now. I should probably leave it for now….at least for a few hours.
As for World Cup frenzy….well I’m still pretty ticked off over Iran’s pathetic [for one kind word] performance in the game vs. Mexico. I’ve received all sorts of lectures on why things happened the way they happened and why this was to be expected….not like they make me feel any better. England’s team however has so far done well….& my fave match so far was the Ghana vs. Italy game. One hell of a game that one.
And as for my Greek language studies….it’s going fine, thanks for asking! 🙂 I mean it’s going as fine as it can possibly go given the conditions! It’s funny how everything tends to sound 180˚ different than what I would expect according to the alphabet basics. My search for “living resources” is still “on going”…… On the plus side, teaching Persian to my German friend is going pretty smooth.
Now only if I could figure how this thing is supposed to sound like……:P

New Year / New Semester

Author: Aasemoon

17 Jan

2006 sure started the best way for me. 🙂 In the new year eve I found my cousins that I had no contact with in my 22 yrz! And now I have a whole new part of my family to explore and a lot of kool people to get to know. It’z quite amazing. As for how it happened, well one of my cousins found my name on the web. It’s pretty much like one of those classic movies [except the part about the web I guess! :P] Yeah, it’s definitely my unpredictable life. I’m just so happy about it…
And the new semester in Ryerson….well it’z kool so far! All my profs seem to be just great. I was so worried about the “field theory” [every ELCE student’s beloved course (!!!)] and it’s oh so popular killer charms…but now I feel just a bit better since I actually have an amazing [& I mean AMAZING] prof for it. Not that I’m not worreid anymore, cause believe me, I am…. 😛
Advanced Spanish which I’m taking for my elective has already started to get “interesting”. The basic course was pretty easy but this is definitely not going to be the same. And NO, that does not mean that I’m gonna stop learning Greek and I probably will start mixing up the 2…in fact I’m already seeing signs…
So….this semester is sure going to be a lot of fun.

1384 #1

Author: Aasemoon

23 Mar

1384….Going to school on Monday March 21st was the most painful thing to do. I’m supposed to have 13 dayz off….ah….& even worse than that was not being able to run around and say happy new year to everyone without people thinking that u’ve lost your mind. It was only about 1:00 PM when I got some break from all the weirdness….I saw my friend Shiba by accident & given that she’z Persian too I finally got the chance to say happy new year to someone & hear it back…..ah….what a pleasure! U think I’m sounding silly? Well u gotta believe me that’z the way it is….. It’z difficult when it’z your new year & not anyone else’z. & if I thought that was unfair…well…that was just the beginning. Apparently because of the beginning of the new year everyone & everything have decided to show me their tough side. Everyone who’s had expectationz before, have tripled it now. Anyone who was tough to deal with before seemz to have gone exponential on me now. What’z with u people? Give me a break I do deserve it! Stop asking me for miraclez, I’m just a human being! Stop acting like I’m responsible for everything! Stop with the power lecturez I’m not trying to challenge anyone or “outsmart” anyone….I’m just not like that….& oh yeah stop asking me to FLY! Well….this is the beginning of 1384….God help me with the rest of it…
