Jav talking
Nothing like a good sweat to finish the day, just came back from the Gym, half hour of Cross Training, and half hour of boxing, I look like a MIllion Rial, about $12 dollars,. filling on water Chey spilled here. I have to thank Ferry for the new friends, they seem to like it here, and they have been very kind with their remarks, Dont mind Chey she is harmless, just curling up in the corner, and now we also have another Doctor in the house, SHRINK LADY, so behave, on theother hand, no do not behave, do whatever you like, just clean up after yourselves. INASY is another friend from Ferry's site, she is an accomplished writer, please read some of her comments, she writes the way I hope to write someday, she was absent today, and we will wait for her return.
Ferry has asked me about my Persian Poetry, and have suggested that I should post them here, I asked my MAIN MANCRUSH, the quiet strength behind me, CYRUS, he did not seem to know of an easy way to do it. If any one of you know of any software that would allow us to do it within the parameters that Cyrus, and Moveable Type would allow ud, I would love to hear about it. As you know I love the spot light, and I am as shamesless in my FARSI poetry that I am in my english ones. I had tried it before by login on POSTCHI.COM. they have a window that you write your Farsi poem with english Alphabets and then they give it to you in FARSI. I have sent Ferry a few of them, if he has them and sent them to me I can try to upload. It is a good idea since I have readers in Iran that also log on, and they might find it reffreshing.
Fereydoon is back, he has left me a few comments, one in particular is very funny, SUCH OFFERING, he is so worried about me, and my Physical attributes. Ferry has a beautiful piece posted on LIVE LIFE, his site, and I have left him a poem written exclusively for him. Check them out. MeTal my friend and comrade from POETS.COM is also back, we missed you MeTal, what about writing us another RANT. SHRINK LADY has left us some insightfull comments about the hidden reasons behind my habit of wearing sexy women panties with frills, thats SL, please shed more lights, and CHEY, our new PERCOCIOUS friend, the restless soul that she is , has been roaming around, and if you saw her curling up in a corner, don't trip over her, and let her rest. Her comments are funny and shameless, the way we like it.
I am happy to report that under firm and devoted supervision of Marjan, my two lovelies, Amin and Kiana have been attending FARSI schools on SUNDAYS. And last night Kiana showed us that after five sessions, she can actually read complex farsi sentences, far ahead the rest of the class, thats my girl, and God bless Marjan for all the blessing she brings to my life.

There is a software that you can use, but I think needs a farsi keyboard. As for reading it, is no problem, we can right click on teh text and change language to arabic if computer doesnt do it automatically. Anyway. I will post something in Farsi and see if it shows.

Good nite Raha^Ja^Bazar^Boy, before I head out for the evening I want to remark on your poem to LL which I think is beautifuly done. You are a poetic well spring and I enjoy the spray from your faucet dear very much. I also love to hear your fatherly pride in your children,,,you are indeed blessed that you have them, gods interpreters of the heart. I have enjoyed the window into your head today,,it served to keep me out of mine a little and that can only be a 'good thing'.
PS That 'Chey is harmless' phrase you've been repeating all afternoon,,,you read that on my forehead didn't you?

Looking for Farsi (فارسی)?
Fereydoon is right - at the very least you'll need a keyboard - It's a real drag typing on a virtual keyboard! But aside from that there are a few challenges. Compatibility/consistency is one - not only to Farsi readers on other types of systems, but also to English readers. Then there is a matter of switching the flow of text to and from the right-to-left direction. There is a Movable Type version that is done entirely in Farsi, but mixed mode is a bit more challenging.
Also, as far as I remember, stuff you enter on POSTCHI.COM will have to be retyped since they do not produce real type output!

So here is what you can do for now. Handwrite your poems and scan them (if yuou have scanner) and post them to your site as photo. If you don't have scanner. Let me know, you can FAX it to my efax and I can email it back to you in a jpeg format to post as photo or I will be happy to post them as photo on my site for you and you link it from here to mine! Got it?!
