I bet many of you haven’t heard this song:

Good Directions by  Billy Currington

by this link you can hear this song : http://www.cmt.com/artists/az/currington_billy/1366272/album.jhtml

 and the lyric is this:

I was sittin’ there sellin’ turnips on a flatbed truck

Crunchin’ on a pork rind when she pulled up

She had to be thinkin’ “This is where the rednecks come from“

She had Hollywood written on her license plate

She was lost and lookin’ for the interstate

Needin’ directions and I was the man for the job

told her way up yonder past the caution light

There’s a little country store with an old Coke sign

You gotta stop in and ask Miss Bell for some of her sweet tea

Then a left will take you to the interstate

But a right will bring you right back here to me

I was sittin’ there thinkin’ ’bout her pretty face

Kickin’ myself for not catchin’ her name

I threw my hat and thought, “You fool, that coulda been love“

I knew my old Ford couldn’t run her down

She probably didn’t like me anyhow

So I watched her disappear in a cloud of dust.

I told her way up yonder past the caution light

There’s a little country store with an old Coke sign

You gotta stop in and ask Miss Bell for some of her sweet tea

Then a left will take you to the interstate

But a right will bring you right back here to me

Is this Georgia heat playin’ tricks on me

Or am I really seein’ what I think I see

The woman of my dreams comin’ back to me

She went way up yonder past the caution light

Don’t know why, but somethin’ felt right

When she stopped in and asked Miss Bell for some of her sweet tea

Mama gave her a big ‘ol glass and sent her right back here to me

 Thank God for good directions:and turnip greens

Yesterday, I was listening this song by my headphone while I was in the pavements and walking happily. I smiled – big smile – and started to walk but it was like jumping more than walking . I was so weird – a girl in this way!! No, no. I knew it, but I didn’t care and sang with this song loudly, while I was smiling and sometimes laughing, and walking like jumping during going my home. I like to be happy when I am hiking. I like to be an energetic girl. I need it. It’s my characteristic. I love to be myself every where.

During 3 days I finished 2 books – novels, started another one, watched many films, hiked hundred kilometers, went to mountain, and visited some friends.

I really recommend you to watch “Juno”. That’s amazing. I like this film because every thing is perfect, even when couples are angry and want to divorce. wow! One thing is about parents and their attitude and behavior, fabulous!

Honestly! I don’t think that I could be as strong as them in that situation. I mean if your 16 year-old daughter gets pregnant and tells you she wants to find couples to adopt her child what would you do? wow! Those parents were wonderful. I wish I would treat like them.

Another film is American gangsters. I know this is not fair that because I love Denzel Washington and I believe that all the movies that he plays in them are perfect but I am sure that if you watch this movie you will love it too, of course not just because of Denzel, also because of the plot and Russell Crowe’s playing. It was an interesting film.

4 months, 3 weeks and 2 days (4 luni, 3 saptamâni si 2 zile) is another movie that I recommend you to watch it Although this movie is Romanian I think we are familiar with those people, their behavior, relations, areas, and many other things in this movie.

Perspolis is my favorite. This movie is extraordinary, fabulous and effective. You can enjoy it and on the other hand feel depressed. That’s another recommended movie.

The books were interesting and nice too. I will tell about them later.

What will happen tomorrow? Are you sure about 1 hour later?

Farzad didn’t know what would happen that day. The night before that damn day he ate his dinner with all of us. We spoke and laughed on every sentence.

We tried to imagine his future with 2 kids around him and would play with them, we imagined his future wife and made fun of his comedy future life and we laughed. He was laughing and started to help us to imagine that life funnier.

Now, he is in coma. He had a bad accident when he was riding in one of those damn roads.

Since 13^th February he hasn’t talked to us because he has decided just to hearing for a while. He started to be silent.

Last week one of his friends sent his family- mother, father and sisters – to a place to pray and be calm and it was the last chance for everyone to see him closely and speak to him beside his bed.

I am sure about that while people are breathing and their heart is beating they can feel even they don’t respond you. I believe that their soul can hear you and your sentences will be in their mind and heart forever.

I don’t have knowledge about soul, body, mind and coma; because of this I am disabling to describe my beliefs on scientific bases. But it’s my idea that I can’t throw it away of my mind. This is my opinion and thought.

I was beside his bed last Saturday. I talked to him and he was hearing me.

I had decided to be strong, much stronger than the other days in my life. I had decided to be positive and not cry or see him as an unconscious friend. I touched his hand. He was warmer than me. I felt that how I had missed him. The tears were in my eyes and I remembered that I promised myself to be a strong girl. I started to talk:

Fa, fa, Farzad it’s me Hengameh, your friend. What the hell are you doing here? Are you kidding us? All of us are waited to hear you. Wake up boy; we have been waited for a long time. I have much news for you. How you can be here and not know that important and interesting news. I started to tell him all news about his family, friends, doctors, nurses, his apartment even his favorite soccer team.

I was there. His hand was in my hand and I was talking to him. I told him some jokes about events in those days. Between every sentence I said him I know you can hear me, I know you will open your eyes soon.

It was amazing. I was full of energy although I had a bad day at my job but I was full of hope and positive energy.

I was talking when the nurse told me that the time is over, I told him a good bye like other normal days and touched his face and told him, Farzad, handsome friend, wake up soon. We are sure about that, proof that you can do it easily.

I was sure about that. It wasn’t just a sentence. I can hardly wait to see him like those nice days before.

Don’t forget that you have some friends too; they need you to hear them and hear you. Don’t hesitate to call them and meet them. Don’t forget you don’t know what will happen tomorrow.
