Iranian regime showing its ugly face

These are some of the craziest times of modern history

Iranian protester on the streets of Tehran.

So, Iran! Where's your big mouth now? I'm talking to those in charge there, not to the surpressed people. Where's your 'death to America' and 'death to Israel' now? Your fasho-islamic dictatorship is shaking, your people are showing to the rest of the world how rotten your regime is [Photo above: Source], how you rigged the elections and how they wanna have an actual democracy, not a phony one. I'm sure even if Mousavi had won, nothing would've changed. He and Ahmadinejad are puppets in the hands of few clerics called ayatollahs. It's just nice to have a fool like Ahmadinejad in the forefront doing the dirty work, while those long-bearded "wise men" pull the strings behind him. That's why people who protest today, protest the whole rigid system, not only the recent elections. I guess they need a bit more than a sack of potatoes to be calmed down.
So how does your own medicine taste, Iran? That's what you exported to Bagdad, Beirut and Jerusalem. Now you have it at home in Tehran. What goes around comes around! I'm realistic enough to know that with these protests your brutal dictatorship won't fall apart. But it's a start and I hope it'll become a movement. Maybe in my lifetime I'll see some of those ayatollahs tried and convicted in a new democratic Iran, where elections will be the reflection of the people's will and not just a puppet theater for the masses.

Power to the people!

Elections in Iran are worth a sack of potatoes

People rioting in Teheran (Photo: AP, Politico). The elections were rigged. The ugly dictatorship showed it's true face: Sending police on the street who are beating everyone senseless who doesn't look like he voted 'properly' (that means 'for Ahmadinejad'). That clown can declare victory, continue to spew his nonsense and hatered, while making his country even a bigger joke, but I feel bad for those young Iranians who honestly wanted change. They are influenced by the West, they wanna be part of the world, but have a brutal regime with almost no freedoms (it's basically not allowed that a man and a woman say 'hello' on the street unless they're married). And did you see on TV how Ahmadinejad campaigned? When he came to the country side, people greeted him with 'death to America' shoutouts. And to convince them to vote for him, he was giving some of them sacks of potatoes and cash. Unbelievable! Countryside Iranians can be so stupid sometimes. And if you ask me, these elections are one big fat joke, too!

Some Christians think Jews have horns

I've read an article today on HuffPost about an online forum of American white supremacists. The author wrote about what he read there and shared his views. This is all connected to the recent incident where an 88-years old white racist went to the Holocaust Museum in Washington and killed a black security guard. Under the article, I checked some comments. I saw one that really surprised me and I decided to share it here (I only corrected some of the wrong spelling):

Ira7 "Former New York Jew here (now Florida, atheist, 52) and lived in North Carolina for a year in 1976. I was the first Jew that 99,9% of the people there had ever met, and I swear... More than one, MANY more than one, asked to feel under my thick, long hair, to feel my horns. They were NOT joking, they didn't even make any kind of satanic connection to it, but they simply thought that biologically, Jews had horns. Mind you, everyone I interacted with was EXTREMELY nice to me. They truly lived the Christian life and didn't "hold it against me", but that ignorance was still there."

I don't know why, but this story sounded funny and pathetic to me at the same time. That was 1976. I wonder if today in America still some people think Jews have horns. Well, I wouldn't be surprised if they did. And by the way, I don't think Europe (or even Slovenia) is any better in this regard. If people believe in ancient fairytales, than this is nothing.

Is this Rainbow a sign of new hope for me?

After the hail storm today, my mum reminded me that there was a magnificent rainbow outisde. I took a look and couldn't believe how huge it was. Like a big arch stretced kilometres. I grabbed my cell phone and snapped few photos, but it was impossible to get the whole rainbow in one frame. Above is the best snap shot I made. I had to be fast, because it was already fading. Anyway... the hail is over... so is my sickness... maybe the rainbow signifies that something good is about to happen to me soon? I hope so. I need something to hold on to. I'll just keep my spirits high.

Hail, hail...

A few minutes back we were surprised by heavy hail. Lucky for us, it was fairly small, so our cars were ok. But it was scary. Here's how it happened: Suddenly there was this crazy wind that made all the trees wave like it'll rip them off soon, the clouds became dark grey, it started lightning. Soon after it started rain and one moment later, it looked like it was snowing: It was hail. It was plenty of small lumps hitting the roofs of our house and cars and other buildings. It sounded like someone was throwing pebbles on them. Here's some pics I took:

Water all over in streams on our main yard

Hail that bounced from the roof on the lawn
Hail from close, looks like snow (in summer!)
My poor kitty hid under the car. She was scared and got all wet.

This is a photo (source) taken 2 weeks ago in another part of
Slovenia. If the hail's that big, your car is done. It'll be full of craters.

I hope that was enough hail for this year. I can't always be on stand by to cover my car with something. We don't have a garage, so we depend on pure luck. Keeping my fingers crossed that we wont have those huge lumps this year. Yep, it was a nerve-wracking afternoon.

Megan Fox: Straight talk

I came accross some recent comments (from early June 2009) made by last year's FHM's sexiest woman alive, Megan Fox, on various topics: Be it the movie industry, the media, actors and directors and marijuana. I have to say that not only she is drop-dead gorgeous (to me), but she's also smart and she speaks her mind. You can agree with her or not on these issues (for example I never smoked pot and wouldn't legalize it), but you can't say she is one of those dumb and phony Hollywood actresses who show off their diamond rings on the red carpet (like Mariah Carey). And for me, she's still the sexiest woman alive (hence the sidebar pic). Check out her comments:

"Sex And The City: The Movie was so tragic. Costume dramas bore me and Hollywood comedies are total garbage, not funny at all. Fame doesn't mean anything because anyone can be famous, and TV news is mindless bullshit."

"America's war on drugs is propaganda. I can't tell you how much bullshit I've been through because I will openly say that I smoke weed. People look at it like it's this crazy, hippy, fucked-up thing to do. And it's not! I hope they legalise it and when they do I'll be the first fucking person in line to buy my pack of joints." (source)

"There are some guys, talking about actors who have been in the business for a while, who are very egocentric and have been able to sleep with a lot of girls for whatever reason, and because they don’t know me they think I’m going to be this little cupcake, this Marilyn Monroe type who’s going to bat my eyes and be like a receptacle for them. I just shut them down immediately, right in front of people. It’s been so long since someone has told them no, they don’t really know how to deal with it. Because of this non-reality they live in, they’re fucked up, psychologically." (source)

"I think it’s wonderful I’m viewed as a sex symbol. I didn’t decide I’m going be an actress because I want to be respected for how I play chess. Part of Hollywood is being perceived as attractive." (source)

"When you think about it, we actors are kind of prostitutes. We get paid to feign attraction and love. Other people are paying to watch us kissing someone, touching someone, doing things people in a normal monogamous relationship would never do with anyone who’s not their partner. It’s really kind of gross." (source)

"Every time I get a tattoo, it’s a little fuck-you to anyone who tells me not to." (source)
