Signs of Spring

I went for a ride yesterday at about 12:53 and returned after almost 2 hours. It was not bad, partly cloudy, and snow was melting but it was windy as usually it is! I was fine in my jersey and short but my toes and fingers was almost frozen, esp. my right hand. It was numb and God! bothered me a lot but as clouds were wiped away and sun started shining I felt a little bit better. You could see the signs of spring everywhere: Flocks of Canadian geese, ducks, squirrels and other kinds of birds and mammals. Calgary Zoo, as I went by, was crowded. Families brought kids and animals were out of the shelters. (I should go and see the Zoo this summer)
I was goin' to call and ask P. M. to join me but didn't, although I was almost close to his place.

(Photo: Canadian goose is a lovely and amiable bird. Every time I see one, I wanna jump, grab it and give it a kiss on its head and neck, but never has happened! They roam around freely everywhere, sleep and graze themselves and if you get too close to them they might attack you and force you back! It happened to me twice almost two years ago while cycling in their territory. At first I thought it happened accidentally but when occurred for the second time, found out that was something I should have expected when I crossed the border!)

New Opportunities

I've applied for at least 3 good opportunities in Alberta recently, all in oil and gas industry and all in manufacturing. One of them, Black Cat Blades, called me yesterday afternoon when I was sleeping on the floor and woke me up! I jumped up and gazed at the Mobile's screen, was trying to find out who the hell it was!
As I found it's a call from Edmonton, preferred not to answer as I knew it's a career related call and I have to get ready for the questions. So I let it ring and thought they leave a message and I call them back and everything will be fine, but they didn't!
I checked my mail-box and read their message, led me to understand that my voice-mail system is not working! I just renewed my contract and the idiot didn't tell me, last week, that I should have reset my voice-mail system!
Therefore I e-mailed them and mentioned I would call them Mon. morning. Hopefully I don't lose this opportunity or the 2 others in here.

Flashback (2): Dave

I had a Canadian guy as my roommate when I used to live in D. H.’s house: Dave. He was a drunkard and worked for a body-shop. He used to come home usually with a bottle. I remember once D. H. and the kids were gone and I was alone. Dave came in and started talking to me. I noticed he was drunk. He took out his wallet and the next moment bills were raining all over the place. Although it has been about 2.5 years but I remember exactly that there were three $100 and a few more bills. I was tempted to grab them but didn’t. I felt sorry for him. He was an ugly short guy with a problem with his mouth, like Jean Chretien’s, who was kicked out of home because of his misbehavior. He used to say that he had a row with her gf and they broke up but I hardly believed it.
Anyway when D. H. and kids came back, I ran to him and said: Dave is here and he’s sober and lucid! He lifted the TV and was about to drop it and I stopped him!
The reason I said so was, first of all I was sick and tired of his misconduct and bullshits, secondly, I had recently watched Basic Instinct and there is a scene where Nick (Michael Douglas) is being interrogated. After the very first questions, the door opens and Beth (Jeanne Tripplehorn) enters. A detective asks Nick where he had been last night and what he had been doing. And he says he was home, watching TV. Beth confirms that and says when she was there, she saw that he was sober and lucid, while he really was not, in the movie. He was drunk! So I thought sober and lucid means drunk because I didn’t find any reason for Beth lying about Nick! I didn’t know that she was in love with him and trying to help him, save him! It’s pretty obvious what D. H.’s answer was!
Another time I was home and suddenly I saw two tall cops inside. There were so big that I didn’t notice that Dave came in with them! They asked me if I knew David. (They mentioned his surname and I don’t remember it of course!) I told them that I only knew his name. They asked if he lived there and D. H. stepped forward and told them that he was his tenant. We then found out that the poor guy was drunk and he had been lost! So one of the neighbors called the cops and they took him home!
He also used to order pizza and ask me what kind of pizza I liked. I don't remember clearly what happened in pizza story but remember once he forgot his pizza (Just one slice has been had) and I put it in my fridge and then ate it all! When D. H. asked me about what had happened to that I answered that I had it with a friend of mine who was here to see me, from Edmonton. He mentioned that there was pork in it and I said I didn't know that! So I got off the hook easily!

Marriage

I stopped talking to N. N. about 10 days ago, may be more. She was one of the girls that I was thinking of for marriage. She's the right one for me. She's kind of - I don't know how to describe that - inatractive girl, both in terms of charachteristics and feature. I'm fine with the feature if the girl is cool. For instance Victoria is not really a pretty girl (I wish I had a photo of her) but she's very attracitive. She got a very beautiful smile, she speaks English fluently with a very sweet accent, she got a very nice body and she's smart and a real athlete. So all the attributes mentioned attract you so much that u don't c anything wrong in her face. N. N. is not pretty nor active and attractive. Doesn't speack (well actually write!) English the way I axpected and is not into anything! Kind of really boring girl! But she literally relied on what I asked her: Marriage!

Now I focus on two girls: M. T., my former colleague in EIED and one of the most beautiful girls that anyone could have seen in his or her entire life and F. J., the young cute girl whom was found by Mom and I'm in touch with trough e-mail. P. K. was another choice for me but she's kind of low-class girl. I may write her story later.

Trade

Rafig Hariri was assassinated a few days ago in Lebanon and most of the politicians point at Syria as the planner and beneficiary of this crime (If I can call it a crime!). The US withdrew his ambassador to Damascus and there was demonstration in Beirut. Everyone blames Syria for that. I really don’t know Hariri very well but know that he was the Prime Minister for a few years and also read that he was a very wealthy man and had good relationship with different sides of the conflict in Middle East.

Today Saddam’s half-brother was handed to American forces by Syria! It’s all clear that they try to calm the Americans down and trade with them. Ten out of fifty five most wanted Iraqis are still at large.
(Photo: Saddam and his regime, mostly comprised of his family and relatives, are known to be responsible for mass murder of the ethnic Kurd. Here a mass grave is found and the remaining are dug up)

Bored, Sick and Tired!

There's no motive to write this blog any more. I'm frustrated, bored, sick and really tired of this shitty life! I have to do something to my life but I'm not able to! All I'm doing now is working and assigning a short period of time during the week to CQE studying.
I'll go to Iran as soon as I get my passport but I'm sure it won't happen in the next 12 month! Besides I have to relocate because the contract for this townhouse which I'm sharing with Resurrect will be over in the coming June. I may move to High River as it's close to the plant and I'll be able to save time and money, both. Downtown Calgary and Okotoks are the other choices. Everything is close accessible in Downtown and I may have a ride if I settle down in Okotoks. It's between Calgary and High River. I need to talk to Ali G. about that.
I was trying to find someone for me and that's why I used to talk to N. N., a girl from Polytechnic days who lives in Montreal, every evening. But I found her boring, unattractive and inexperienced. So I told her that and stopped talking to her!
There are only two choices left now! M. T. and F. J. None of them are really serious, as far as I'm concerned. But I like them both.
