A Review To Flight Simulator X

Flight Simulator X or FSX is not the kind of game you can play everyday, like FIFA or PES. It needs a relaxing environment for who wants to play it and success through out the game. The first thing you should know as you're playing is that you are not going to win anything or get anywhere very soon. You should know the basics before you do or even touch anything. I personally, used to start from free flights. I had some major crashes and boring flyings just to nowhere without knowing what I am doing. My advice is you start with the tutorials in missions or lessons. Then finish the missions suggestively one by one. Finally, enjoy flying on your own in "free flight".


Here are some pictures I took recently:

The Circle Review

This album can be looked at from two points of view, one is skeptical which is another formula of "It's my life" and a copy of Have a nice day the album, with richer lyrics. But personally, I think it's one of the best album of Bon Jovi. All 12 tracks are pure Rock songs. Lots of great songs. My favorites are Superman Tonight, Thorn In My Side, and We Weren't Born To Follow. But it's not like you can say the other songs are not worth listen to. I love the whole album. It will drive Bon Jovi fan crazy! Just hold on and see!

Anger is never without Reason, but seldom with a good One.-- Benjamin Franklin

A problem is a chance for you to do your best.-- Duke Ellington

Only Time

One of the great songs by Enya:

Who can say where the road goes,

Where the day flows, only time?

And who can say if your love grows,

As your heart chose, only time?

Who can say why your heart sights,

As your live flies, only time?

And who can say why your heart cries

when your love lies, only time?

Who can say when the roads meet,

That love might be, in your heart?

And who can say when the day sleeps,

and the night keeps all your heart?

Night keeps all your heart.....
Who can say if your love groves,

As your heart chose, only time?

And who can say where the road goes

Where the day flows, only time?
Who knows? Only time

Who knows? Only time

Jon Bon Jovi and Friends

I recently downloaded this album. It's a very different album from Bon Jovi, actually Jon Bon Jovi. Because he's playing in this concert with Jeff Kazee for keyboard, Bobby Bandiera playing Guitar, John Conti for Bass, Kenny Arnoff for Drums, and Everett Bradley with Percussion. The tracklist is very unusual for Bon Jovi fans. You can listen to a variety of songs from Southside Johnny's "Broke down piece of man", a demo from the Lost Highway album, Lonely, JBJ's solo albums as Midnight in Chelsea and Never Say Die, and hits from Powerstation Years, like Head Over Heels and Don't Leave Me Tonight, and finally songs from the 2004 box set, 100 million fans can't be wrong, like Garageland and I Get A Rush.

It's worth to listen. It recorded in the Starland Ballroom in Jon Bon Jovi's hometown Sayreville, New Jersey. He says in this concert that Richie [Sambora] once owned this place and Dorothea [Hurley] Jon's wife used to be a bartender here. It gives a nostalgic feeling for Bon Jovi fans.

Frida

Frida is one of my favorite artistic movies. It's about Frida Kahlo the Mexican artist, and his husband Diego Riviera, moving to the states, and meeting with Leon Trotsky. Frida was a communist, just like her husband. He then got divorced and... Selma Hayek plays as Frida.

Undiscovered Soul

By Richie Sambora
She was standing at the station small town suitcase in her hand there were dreams she found inside her that no one cared to understand she never talks about her childhood so much past to leave behind she's so scared to go but still she says goodbye. When you walk that road you walk alone just an undiscovered soul in the great unknown when you only hope is to find a home just an undiscovered soul in the great unknown in the great unknown. Born and raised in poverty daddy died when he was young all the fears that raged inside him his spirit need to overcome each day he tears down the reflection of who he used to be and with a little luck he'll rise eventually. When you walk that road when you walk alone just an undiscovered soul in the great unknown when you only hope is to find a home just an undiscovered soul in the great unknown the great unknown. Solo In the search of our salvation relentlessly we climb just looking for a reason in creation's grand design if patience is a virtue then let us humbly begin we'll be here waiting 'til our ship comes sailing in. When you walk that road we walk alone just an undiscovered soul in the great unknown when you only hope is to find a home you're just an undiscovered soul in the great unknown the great unknown the great unknown don't want to walk through life and undiscovered soul. Searching for the road looking for a home in the great unknown don't want to walk through life an undiscovered soul searching for a home looking for a road in the great unknown don't want to walk through life an undiscovered soul Patience, virtue, identify, soul

History Recalls

This is the map of Iran in Qajar era.

Before Pahlavi dynasty, there was Qajar dynasty. Qajars were mostly famous for disqualification in ruling the country. Their worst thing to most Iranian people was departing huge and mostly cultivated lands of Iran. Those lands are now new countries. Some have already kept their unavoidable ties with Iranian culture. Those countries are: Azerbaijan, Armenia, Naxcivan, parts of southern Russia and Georgia, parts of Turkmenistan, Afghanistan and parts of Pakistan (known as India at that time). Almost all of these losses were happened when Fat'h Ali Shah was in charge. He had a very comic behavior. He was a true demonstrator of qualification in Qajar's rulers. But he is not who I'm going to talk about him today. The one I'm going to talk is Mohammad Ali Shah:


He came to power right after the constitutional revolution. He was a brutal savage man. He had no mercy in fighting with uprisings against him and his will. He truly was a Russophilist. With the help of Colonel Liakhov he destroyed the Majlis (parliament) building. Clerics, people, workers and almost everyone were against him and his allies. They killed a russian traitor in Tabriz. There was a huge anti-russian feeling between Iranian people then.





_________________________________________________





This reminds me of how the Iranian people feel these days. Russian and Chinese meddling in their internal affairs. As I mentioned, in the past the never wanted any foreign meddling. Russians had already a bad name for the Constitutional parliament and Qajar era. It makes this hating thing rising while European governments and United States are at least condemning killing innocent people, while they are remaining silent or helping the brutal governers to gain a universal attention.


This is why it makes Iranian people mad. This is why they shouted loudly in the last Friday prayer held by Ayatollah Rafsanjani, an iconic opposition leader, "Death to Russia" or "Death to China". Instead of "Death to America" or "Death to Israel", that we've been hearing for 30 years.

Blues Riffs

I couldn't be here lately. I have been formatting my pc time and again. There was some stupid problems here and I couldn't fix it without formatting. Anyway, as I said I like the special EFX as I downloaded their Sweet Surrender album. I downloaded a solo album of Chieli Minucci, the band leader , called Renaissance. It fulfilled my expectations. It was really good, smooth jazzy!

I also been feeling very bluesy lately. I was playing the Peter Gunn Theme riff and also playing Henry Mancini's Shot in the dark. The bass riff I mean. Both of them are very jazzy and easy to play. Try them!

What I've Been Up To...

• First is that my parents came home after a long time, specially my dad. I haven't seen him for 5 months. It felt great the reunion after this time.
• My dad bought me a DVD of Bon Jovi, which I craved to have so much. "Lost Highway: The Concert". It really is great. I say that you can call some of the songs better than their album versions. I can't say from this album which one is my favorite song. But I like Seat next to you more. Don't think that others aren't great. It's just different tastes, but I like all of them. The different solos on Any other day is awesome! You should see it to believe it. There are four different solos by different instruments. As Bobby Bandiera plays electric guitar, Lorenza Ponce plays violin solo, meanwhile Richie plays a breathtaking guitar solo.
• I've been trying to play one my favorite guitar riffs by Slash, Sweet Child O'Mine. It's nothing less than the toughest solos I've tried. It needs so much agility of your fingers, and composure.
• I've also been reading a book called, To Understanding Buddhism. It had been a long time since I haven't read anything about Buddhism. Although, my appetite to know Buddhism, is somehow subdued.
• And finally in musics... I found a smooth jazz band (Special EFX), which I heard a song from them on the radio, called Awakening. Now I'm downloading their 2007 album, Sweet Surrender. I feel that it's good.

Animal Farm and Animals

I've been reading George Orwell's great novel Animal Farm.

I figured out that the Pink Floyd's album Animals was inspired by this book. But of course in a totally different way. George Orwell is criticizing communism in his book, while Pink Floyd is disapproving against capitalism.

Pink Floyd's album is mostly about workers, bourgeoise, the fight of highs and lows,...

A Journey For My Home

This is a very beautiful song written and composed by Nader Ebrahimi and sang by Mohammad Nouri. It's about the efforts of the Iranians through out the history.

Here's the lyrics:

سفر به خاطر وطن

ما براي پرسيدن نام گلي ناشناس چه سفرها كرده ايم، چه سفرها كرده ايم
ما براي بوسيدن خاك سر قله ها چه خطرها كرده ايم، چه خطرها كرده ايم
ما براي آنكه ايران گوهري تابان شود خون دلها خورده ايم خون دلها خورده ايم
ما براي آنكه ايران خانه خوبان شود رنج دوران برده ايم رنج دوران برده ايم
ما براي بوئيدن بوي گل نسترن چه سفرها كرده ايم، چه سفرها كرده ايم
ما براي نوشيدن شورابه هاي كوير چه خطرها كرده ايم، چه خطرها كرده ايم
ما براي خواندن اين قصه عشق به خاك خون دلها خورده ايم خون دلها خورده ايم
ما براي جاودانه ماندن اين عشق پاك رنج دوران برده ايم رنج دوران برده ايم

A Journey For My Home:

We took long journeys to know an unknown flower... Oh such long journeys... Oh such long journeys...

We took dangerous paths to go to the summit of mountains... Oh such dangerous paths... Oh such dangerous paths...

We have been martyred to make Iran a glorious gem... Oh we have been martyred... Oh we have been martyred...

We have been suffered from pain to make Iran a home to the sinceres men... Oh we have been suffered from pain... Oh we have been from suffered pain...

We took long journeys to smell the blooming Jonquil... Oh such long journeys... Oh such long journeys...

We took dangerous paths to take the salty deserts... Oh such dangerous paths... Oh such dangerous paths...

We have been martyred to have this epic of love to home... Oh we have been martyred... Oh we have been martyred...

We have been suffered from pain to make this love to home, eternal... Oh we have been suffered from pain... Oh we have been suffered from pain...

ما يكى هستيم - Stand By Me

(اى ياور اى هم فرياد)

(با من باش)

(دست به دست هم صدا)

(تو و من هموطن)

(درد تو درد من)

(با من باش)

So darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh now now stand by me

Stand by me, stand by me

If the sky that we look upon

Should tumble and fall

And the mountains should crumble to the sea

I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear

Just as long as you stand, stand by me

So darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me

Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me-e, yeah

Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me, oh now now stand by me

Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

Darlin', darlin', stand by me-e, stand by me

Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

This Month We Had...

This Month We Had:

• Being the most popular once again after your death!


• Getting lost, being on an airplane, no where to go, no where to run or hide. Death is the end.


• Murdering innocents in the name of G-d. Neda is one of the hundreds that have been killed. Thousands have been arrested, without any judicial reason.


• Gaining popularity by standing his ground, and showing peaceful demonstration.


• Having a weird hunger to be the most hatred icon in the world.

Lise Marie Presley: Jackson knew his fate

LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Michael Jackson knew "exactly how his fate would be played out" and feared his death would echo that of Elvis Presley, Lisa Marie Presley wrote in an online blog posted Friday morning.

Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley in 1994. Presley says, "I loved him very much" and believes he loved her.

Presley -- the daughter of Elvis, the "King of Rock," and the ex-wife of Jackson, the "King of Pop" -- wrote on her MySpace page that she wanted "to say now what I have never said before because I want the truth out there for once." Her publicist confirmed Presley wrote the blog.
She said her short marriage to Jackson -- from May 1994 until January 1996 -- "was not 'a sham' as is being reported in the press," but she divorced him because she was "in over my head in trying" to save Jackson "from the inevitable, which is what has just happened."
Jackson talked with her about his death during "a deep conversation" 14 years ago about "the circumstances of my father's death."
"At some point he paused, he stared at me very intensely and he stated with an almost calm certainty, 'I am afraid that I am going to end up like him, the way he did,' " Presley wrote.
"I promptly tried to deter him from the idea, at which point he just shrugged his shoulders and nodded almost matter of fact as if to let me know, he knew what he knew and that was kind of that."
That conversation haunted Presley as she watched television coverage of Jackson's death Thursday, she said.

"I am sitting here watching on the news [as] an ambulance leaves the driveway of his home, the big gates, the crowds outside the gates, the coverage, the crowds outside the hospital, the cause of death and what may have led up to it and the memory of this conversation hit me, as did the unstoppable tears," she wrote.
"A predicted ending by him, by loved ones and by me, but what I didn't predict was how much it was going to hurt when it finally happened."
Elvis Presley collapsed in the bathroom of his Memphis, Tennessee, mansion -- Graceland -- on August 16, 1977, at the age of 42. While his death was ruled the result of an irregular heartbeat, the autopsy report was sealed amid accusations that abuse of prescription drugs caused the problem.
"As I sit here overwhelmed with sadness, reflection and confusion at what was my biggest failure to date, watching on the news almost play by play the exact scenario I saw happen on August 16, 1977, happening again right now with Michael (A sight I never wanted to see again) just as he predicted, I am truly, truly gutted," she wrote.
"I wanted to 'save him'," she wrote. "I wanted to save him from the inevitable, which is what has just happened."
"The hardest decision I have ever had to make, which was to walk away and let his fate have him, even though I desperately loved him and tried to stop or reverse it somehow," Presley wrote.
Their marriage, which some suggested was only to help Jackson's image, was real, she said.
"It was an unusual relationship, yes, where two unusual people who did not live or know a 'normal life' found a connection, perhaps with some suspect timing on his part," she wrote. "Nonetheless, I do believe he loved me as much as he could love anyone and I loved him very much."
Presley called Jackson "an incredibly dynamic force and power that was not to be underestimated."
"When he used it for something good, it was the best and when he used it for something bad, It was really, REALLY bad," she wrote.
Presley's blog entry ended with a thank you to those who would read it.
"I really needed to say this right now, thanks for listening."

I Love The Night

That night her kiss told me it was over
I walked out late into the dark
The misty gloom seems to soak up my sorrow
The further I went on I felt a spreading calm
Then suddenly my eyes were bathed in a light
And the lovely lady in white was by my side
She said "Like me I see you're walking alone
Won't you please stay?" I couldn't look away

She said I love the night
The day is OK and the sun can be fun
But I live to see those rays slip away
I love the night
There's so much I can show and give to you
If you will welcome me tonight
If only you had been there my dear
We could have shared this together

No mortal was meant to see such wonder
One look in the mirror told me so
Come darkness I'll see her again
Yes I'm gonna go 'cause now I know

She said I love the night
The day is OK and the sun can be fun
But I live to see those rays slip away
I love the night
There's so much that I can show and give to you
If you will welcome me tonight
If only you had been there my dear
We could have shared this together

Farrah Fawcett Dies Too

Michael Jackson Dies

Although I wasn't a fan of MJ, but who didn't like his songs. Thriller, Bad, Billie Jean, Bad, Smooth criminal, They don't care about us, Earth song, and my most favorite, Black or white.

The news was short but painful. Michael Jackson died. Obviously he didn't die at the peak of his career. The movement that he built by his famous songs was cooled off by 1990's songs. Some boy bands and metal movement. Despite all of this no one can deny his role in modern music. If there was one Elvis in our time, that was Michael Jackson. G-d rest him in peace.

This Old World we’ve named Cosmos by mistake

Is the graveyard of nights & days, no more awake

And a feast that hundred Jamshid’s did break

And a throne that hundred Bahram’s did make.

Life...

There are times in your life that you should stand up and shout...

There are times that you should remain silent....

There are times that you should think of past...

There are times that you should open your wings and fly...

There are times that strength matters to you, not the beauty...

There are times that you might feel stranded...

There will be a time for you to rest in heaven... Someday...
