much ado about nothing

a blog about non-achievement

homelessness is a state of mind. home smells like safety, like security, like tarragon in my mother's tea. home feels like fur. home sounds like a bee, you can only here its hum when everything else is quite and everybody else is asleep. home is nice, for those who live in it.

my apartment doesn't feel secure, it smells like lime-flavored detergents and it sounds like a distant detuned radio, and I live in it.

homelessness is just another excuse not to take charge. that's all it is.

So is Tarrragon " Tarkhoon?" do u guys have it in Chai??
How does that work..
If i dont get an answer in like an hour, I am gonna call my mom and then my aunt and then call my sis to ask her mother in law and then will call my friend back in Iran..
really Tarragon in Chai?
Me neither I dont like to take charge of my life.. But that's the thing with our generation: we just were too pamperd, at least I was and it doesnt seem to end, that growing up and taking charge does not seem to be an option...

how did you like it there? after so many years, i'd like to know what you think about living there.

i simply loved it there. i can't say if i'd live there for sure, but i know one thing now : i will only consider a metropolitan to settle down, be it Tehran, be it LA, be it NY, LA and Tehran are very close, very very close. i'm just not happy in the suburbs.

Shahin,

Glad you're back to blogging! And I'm 100% with you on settling down in crowded crazy places! ... What happened to Shanghai though?

Yea, what shahin is saying is very true. After being in Tehran for 4 weeks I feel like I live in a remote village here with miles of distance between people who live in this place. Eventhough they might be standing right next to eachother in Starbucks!

it's not as easy to find the job when you are not there, the best way IMO is to find a big company and have them relocate you.
