If you are reading this right now, you have more luxury than someone in Iran could ever hope for right now. If you are watching TV or a video on youtube, updating your status on Facebook, Tweeting, or even texting your friend, you are lucky. If you are safe in your home, and were able to sleep last night without the sounds of screaming from the rooftops, you need to know and understand what is happening to people just like you in Iran right now.

They are not the enemy. They are a people whose election has been stolen. For the first time in a long time, a voice for change struck the youth of Iran, just as it did for many people in the United States only seven months ago. Hossein Mousavi gained the support of millions of people in Iran as a Presidential candidate. He stands for progressiveness. He supports good relations with the West, and the rest of the world. He is supported with fervor as he challenges the oppressive regime of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

On Friday, millions of people waited for hours in line to vote in Iran's Presidential election. Later that night, as votes came in, Mousavi was alerted that he was winning by a two-thirds margin. Then there was a change. Suddenly, it was Ahmadinejad who had 68% of the vote - in areas which have been firmly against his political party, he overwhelmingly won. Within three hours, millions of votes were supposedly counted - the victor was Ahmadinejad. Immediately fraud was suspected - there was no way he could have won by this great a margin with such oppposition. Since then, reports have been coming in of burned ballots, or in some cases numbers being given without any being counted at all. None of this is confirmed, but what happened next seems to do the trick.

The people of Iran took the streets and rooftops. They shout "Death to the dictator" and "Allah o akbar." They join together to protest. Peacefully. The police attack some, but they stay strong. Riots happen, and the shouting continues all night. Text messaging was disabled, as was satellite, and websites which can spread information such as Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, and the BBC are blocked in the country. At five in the morning, Arabic speaking soldiers (the people of Iran speak Farsi) stormed a university in the capital city of Tehran. While sleeping in their dormitories, five students were killed. Others were wounded. These soldiers are thought to have been brought in by Ahmadinejad from Lebanon. Today, 192 of the university's faculty have resigned in protest.

Mousavi requested that the government allow a peaceful rally to occur this morning - the request was denied. Many thought that it would not happen. Nevertheless, first a few thousand people showed up in the streets of Tehran. At this point, it is estimated that 1 to 2 million people were there. Mousavi spoke on the top of a car. The police stood by. For a few hours, everything was peaceful. Right now, the same cannot be said. Reports of injuries, shootings, and killings are flooding the internet. Twitter has been an invaluable source - those in Iran who still know how to access it are updating regularly with picture evidence. People are being brutally beaten. Tonight will be another night without rest for so many in Iran no older than I am. Tonight there is a Green Revolution.

Tell the world how they have stolen our election

I went to watch the new Star Trek movie... who apparently is already called Star Trek: Reboot XD
Man, I love it.
I went with my brother, and an old friend of his (once girlfriend) who wasn't familiar with the franchise besides general popular knowledge. And there were a bunch of kids (probably just a bit younger than me/around my brother's age but still)... and one of then was obviously a fanboy. The kind who is very loud. It was annoying at first, but I couldn't help but feel endeared when in one of the moments he was just too loud to even his friends to bear and they told him to "shut the hell up" and he was all "fuck you, let me LIVE this movie!!!"
Anyway, the movie... I... I actually teared up a bit after it ended. Dunno if it's because it was just that awesome or because I am a gigantic wuss. Maybe a combination of a bit of both... Man, it was like reliving my childhood. I remember being 10 years old and watching Star Trek: The Next Generation or the Original Series movies on the TV, with my dad and my brother, while mum muttering in the background about us watching "idiotic things" (Nothing personal about Star Trek, she just didn't enjoy what we liked to watch... like Looney Tunes) and they were such wonderful memories...
My brother was also very excited at the end of it... and he also commented about how he remembered those things from his late childhood and early adolescence. And how those were powerful memories of his bonding with our father over something. And how the movie was cool and totally didn't ruin his childhood memories like the Dragon Ball: Evolution movie did XD (Yeah I totally agree with that too).
Man, I almost cried over that freaking movie...
I ALMOST CRIED OVER THE NEW STAR TREK MOVIE!!!!
I am such an über-geek!
But the movie was just that great for it. It was awesome. Its sound effects, its special effects, its plot, its script, its characters... OMG THE CHARACTERS!!! It was like watching old friends again only younger and more attractive!!!
James Fucking Tiberius Kirk, Mr. oh-so-sexy Spock, Leonard H. "I'm a doctor" "Bones" McCoy, Montgomery "Scotty" Scott, Nyota "I'm the sexiest smartest woman on board" Uhura, Hikaru Sulu, and Pavel Andreievich "I'm so cute" Chekov
Man... and all the inside jokes and all the references... AND THE CATCHPHRASES!!!
And then... LEONARD NIMOY.
I FUCKING LOVE YOU, LEONARD NIMOY!!!
... And the plot itself, was awesome because it washed its hands about how we can do a reboot without totally ruining the Original Series but also doing new stuff.
And the ending... I was tearing up then... Oh man! And loud!fanboy was all "classy :D :D :D"
Finally... THIS?



MY FREAKING HET STAR TREK: TOS OTP BABY!!! SO HELL YESSSSSSSSS!!!
Oh course you all now the slashy one is Spock/Kirk because DUH!!!!



Then let me help you:



See now?!?!

"Space... the Final Frontier, these are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its continuing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before"

*tears up again*

Oh, SHUT UP!!!!

What's Your Word?

Well, I like this result XD
Thinking, even about the most stupid things, is what I do most :P
