www.wastetime.com!!!!!!
Today I have a soar throat. Basically I can't talk !! That, added to the amount of work I need to prepare for school, resulted in staying home!!
It is already 1:20 PM and all I did was to read the Monster.com case!!
I also tried doing pasta for myself. I remeber I used to cook pasta well, when I was living in UBC campus. That was 4 years ago and I don't remeber how I did it!! I tried it today and it tastes awful! maybe next time!

Kandou...
This is the last post for tonight!
This weblog was initially intended to be in Farsi. I decided that another weblog with Farsi contents will be better! This way I can communicate with both audiences.
Kandou is my Farsi weblog. I hope my brother Aslan finishes his finals soon and takes care of the template design and the Farsi typing stuff for me!
Good night!
PS I didn't study a bit! I had a long talk with Ashkan, though. He is living in Toronto.
PSS There was a time when I was in USA, Aslan was in Vancouver and Ashkan was in Toronto, and my parents in Iran. Now that I think back, I feel it really sucked crap!

MBA!!!
I always thought if you don't have that much of cash in your pocket to relax and enjoy life, you must go after it.
I started in consulting and decided after a while that this alone does not satisfy me, neither financially nor prestigiously!! I know comparison in these cases might actually make no sense, however when I see my older brother has become a dentist, I kick myself to get more of my share in this world!
After almost two years out of school, I decided to continue my education in Masters of Business Administration on a part time basis. The reason: I though it will open new doors to me! Not that I am not glad I am doing it (not the tuition part, though!!), but some times I think I am too old to be studying! maybe be I am not!! I will be 31 in March 2005...Do you think I am too old??
All this does not change the fact that I have to prepare a case study, and solve three economics problems for Wednesday night discussion session! The case study is about Monster.com, Inc. I am angry when I think I got off work earlier to study and go to Dr, non of which happened and I came home to sleep and watch CNN!!!
Managerial Economics problem set has to do with Competitive Pricing and Diversity for Risk Reduction.
I also read a lot about economy of world (not world, mainly USA and Iran!!!). I think I will share some of my thoughts from time to time...
Right now I need to start studying!!
One more thing...I hear Ali Samereh left Esteghlal to go to UAE to continue with his soccer profession. I can't guess where Esteghlal is going with this attitude! UAE?? from Esteghlal?? well I know money talks in soccer...I would say I would do the same, should I receive a better offer...but what about the Blue shirt??
PS: It is now 8:44 PM and I have not started studying. This is what I have done so far:
I prepared myself lunch/dinner!! It was supposed to be rice and fried liver! it ended up being pizza ordered from Hello Pizza!! I know now that you should not leave stuff on stove and go to gym to run!!
After that I spent time and again on the on Iternet reading news, news, news, checking email, checking Orkut, and reading others' blogs! I also took a nap, took a shower and poured myslef a small drink to get ready to study!! still not feeling like it!!
But I am going to be strong and do it. At least I try to read the case tonight and make notes. Tomorrow I will need to take off work and stay home and study!

Why "A Man Without A Star"??
A Man Without A Star is one of my childhood favorite movies...
This weblog was supposed to be named differently. Like I said in my last post, I registered 5 or 6 blogs, non of which got really started. However, all of them were (and are) named after my favorite movies. Now you tell me which one will make sense for this weblog.
1. For A Few Dollars More
2. Nakhoda Khorshid
3. Snake's Fang
4. Adam Barfi
Well I can name many other movies that I have actually loved. But I guess for a weblogs name most of them do not make sense. I am not saying those mentioned above do make sense! But just came to my mind when I was registering my weblog(s).
Now that I am thinking, maybe choosing an already used name comes more from my conservative behavior. Maybe I used a known name not to risk rejection from potential audience by using a unique name. Or it might come from my extreme laziness which picks the easiest way to achieve a goal.To make things even more confusing, I have also picked Kandou!!!
I don't even know why I started this weblog. I know I will not discuss politics and religion here. It will mostly discuss movies, my life as a bachelor, Iran's Professional League, EU Champions League, and what else...Probably my progress in cooking as well!!
I finally managed to do grocery shopping yesterday in Superstore. I just discovered that there are numerous shopping centers wittin 5 minutes of where I have been living for almost a year now! I have even prepared lunch for myself!!
Can you imagine??

The First Post
This is my first post!
This is my 5th or 6th registered weblog! But I don't know why each time I just don't start writing!! This time, I have been triggered by my close friend Hamid to really start publishing my thoughts, imaginations, or whatever else I think I need to think out loud!!
This weblog is intended to be written in Farsi. However, that too, will be when I can learn how to type Farsi. Meanwhile, lets hope that I continue, and lets hope that I look at it in a positive way...
