_Anka_

No, his name was America-Hye

He wasn't good at it at all. How can you say that you live in a 10 million dollar mansion and then ask me to pick you up from your 1 bedroom appartment and not think that I'll be surprised to see an appartment instead of a mansion. At least he could have been smart about his lies. I think that people like him think that people in general are dumb and you could fool them however you want.

i didn't say that there aren't any men like my dad. I was just saying that they're hard to find.

I stoped talking to him few weeks ago.

He's not my friend anymore. It took some time till i really got to know him and I just stoped calling him and letting him waist my time with his nonesense.

I have a friend who lies almost everytime I talk to him. For example about few months ago he told me that his father just bought a house for $10,000,000 and two Ferrarie cars. Once he told me that his father has number of Monet's paintings in their house (in a different coutry). Later he told me that his grandfather owned a Fortune 500 company (didn't ask him which one since I know he's lying). The funniest part is that I went to pick him up one day from his house and he lived in a one bedroom appartment complex and he drives a 2000 Saturn. Before that he told me that he has his own appartment now and that he was going to throw a party since he just moved there so i told him that I'll come to the party. Later that night when I called him to go to the party lol (I knew that he was lying and there was no appartment and a party) his cell phone was turned off even thought I dropped him off at his appartment an hour before his so called party...... so pathetic. I just can't udnerstand some people. My other friend tells me that he probably likes me and he's just trying to impress me by lying to me.People like that need serious help. The guys is only 19 years old and he tells me that he makes $55,000 a year and that he works 75-80 hours a weeks. Imagine that! He also told me on Valentine's day that he just bought a 10 karat diamond ring for his girlfriend (imaginary one of course) which cost him $9,000. Now where a 19 year old could afford a 10 karat diamond ring for his gf?? Arent's 19 year old supposed to buy a box of chocolates? crazy!

They call themselves "Playas" but they're bunch of morons and loosers with no integrity.

loool no I was not looking for a man in Yerevan hahaha What makes you think that men are the only reason that I go to Yerevan? Trust me I'm not looking for an Armenian man at all. There's plenty of men in my area. The onyl decent Armenian man I know is my father and I'm not just saying that because he's my dad (if he sucked I'd say that he's suks) but he's very different in many aspects. Tipik hay txamardu nman chi if u know what i mean. detailneri mej chem uzum mtnem, baits let's just say vor im mamais engeruhinernelen sax zarmanum te vor ink@ inch dzevi txamarda since most of their husbands suck so they always tell my mom why they didnt' meet someone like him.

I'm not waisting your time. You're waisting your own time.. I didn't ask for a reply from you. You're the one who waisted your time by writing a paragraph about my earlier comments.

How many guys named Anka have you met in your life?

I don't care about destroying others beliefs. You haven't really read my posts have you? I don't care about what people want to believe in. I know that i can't change one's opinion because no one can change mine. I was just expressing my own opinion about this topic not more. But it seems like we got some nationalistic chavunists in here who think that they're the right one's and that everyone should follow they're footsteps. Being proud of being an Armenian is not a faith and has nothing to do with faith.

Loosing my faith? So now we're worshiping Armenism?

gevo, Stalin gave away Karabach, Naxichevan and Javax region in 1920's. I was refering to the british and Russian promises made to Dashnaks regarding western territories. Stalin has nothign to do with that.

I was not talking about The Soviet Union and Stalin. I was talking about Dashnakneri actions during and after the Genocide (before SU).

You got offended just because I said that Armenians have a tiny land after 3000 year old history and that today Armenia is in a shithole politicaly and economicaly? Isn't that the reality? So why are you being offended? Be offended by present day politicans who rule Armenia and some dashnaks who "sold" Armenia, not by me.

I don't have an inferiority complex... here we go again... Why is it so hard for you people to understand that some Armenians take their Armenianess lightly. OK I'm Armenian and I know that but I do not advertise it (why would I) and I don't make my armenianess the purpose of my life. C'mon. For obsessed and chavunistic people like some of you in here there has to be something wrong with a person who thinks that Armenians are not above anyone else on this planet, right? We're all human beings and just because we're one of the oldest people on this earth doesn't make us saints.

I don't understand why other Armenians like to verbally attack each other just because they don't agree on issues. What makes some of you think that you're right and I'm wrong and then say that i need to assimilate or I'm full of garbage? Don't forget that I also know how to offend and be rude. I only posted my opinion and I didn't ask you for your senseless remarks. Koko, Don't f**** tell me that I need to assimilate or I shouldn't come here?? Who you think you are to tell me what I need to do. Mind your own business. Some of you need to relax and not take everything so close to your hearts. Just like Boghos said above "What seems to be even more diffcult for many is to accept what reality is and believe that in such a world it is possible to live happily."

Armenian Pirate, The part about me saying garbage goes both ways. What makes you think that you're right and I'm wrong??? Just because you don't agree with me doesn't make me wrong. There's no right way of thinking. Everyone has their own opinions and thoughts so before you say that the person in front of you is full of garbage think again because you can be viewed the same way for the person in front of you. You didn't ahve to tell me about Monte since I already know where he went to and what he did. I date whomever I want and I don't look at what ethnicity they are and if I did that then I probably would not have dated anyone to this day. You siad something about pressures did you mean parents or what?? I didnt' really understand what you meant by it. If you're refering to my parents then they have no problem with me dating odars and for your info my parents are not the "typical" Armenian parents. The same thing goes for my extended family in Armenia. We don't have the picture of Ararat, Jesus Christ, Aibuben hanging on our walls. In fact, we do have number of Buddhist and Hinduist statues. Can't remember when was the last time an Armenian music was played in my house and my dad only reads Russian newspapers, no asbarez or other dashnakakan c***. I would say the same thing about my father's friends who live in US and in Armenia. I remember once when I was about 18 years old I came home and told my dad that I want to be in AYF (Armenian youth federation) and all he did was laugh at me. Hayastantsi Armenians (in Armenia) and Armenians from diaspora ahve a very different view of what Armenians are. I'm not saying that Armenians in Armenia are not proud of who they are or they don't feel Armenian but they're not as extreme as Armenians are in the diaspora. I think that it has to do with Armenians in Armenia already living their lives as Armenians in an Armenian environment surrounded with everything that is Armenian and Armenians in diaspora have to try twice as hard to keep their identity just because they live in other countries. So don't be so surprised that I sound careless about me being Armenian because I was born in Armenia and I'm sure that my attitude would have been different if I was born in another country. Why is that everytime Armenians get together they have to talk about the same thing over and over and over again? and I'm not confused at all. There's nothing to be confused about. I'm who I am and I'm special but I don't associate my specialness with my ethnicity. I'm special as an individual and based on what kind of a human being I'm (lav kam vat). I don't ahve to say that I'm Armenian in order to define myself because being an Armenian hasn't made me a good or a bad person. My life experiences have done that instead of my ethnicity. I never see Armenians in Armenia being so obsessed about their identity or all in your face about who they are, i guess it is only a diaspora thing. I think that you misunderstood me about the April 24th comment. I didnt' say that it doesn't ahev to be recognized quote me if i did. I was sayign that all the 'advertisment" should be left for the government adn that regular people don't really care about it and their recognition in their hearts won't do any good. IF the US feels that it isn't the right time for the government to recognize it then it is not going to and you didn't have to tell me about the politics of Turkey_US_ISrael because I'm not living in the 16th century. Et patmutun@ karas tornerit patmes.

Armenian Pirate, I just want to mention that you were wrong when you said that Monte Melkonian didn't travel outside of US (besides Armenia) because he did travel. I don't know where you got that false info.

Why are Armenians so obssesed about their own identity and their own culture. Why do we think that we're the best nation on this planet and that we're "special". Says who? Let people marry to whomever they want, who cares? It's their own life and they know what's best for them. It is not your place to judge anyone. I don't want to sound like some of the "intelectualls" that Armenian Pirate was reffering to because I don't care much about it.I just don't really care about what other Armenians do and I don't really care about other Armenians because everyone has their own life to think about. Some Armenians need to get a life and not be so closed minded. They need to understand that we're not perfect and we are just like other nations and ethnic groups in the world, nothing speacial... So what that we're an ancient race??? and? I don't think that it makes us so special or that it gives us a reason to be so closed minded towards other people. We need to understand that nobody gives a damn about our ancient history except us. Don't forget that one of the reasons that Armenians still exist is the fact that Armenia is a mountanous region so therefore when one part of Armenia got conquered the other part was free and people were able to keep their identity. What I'm trying to say is that our survival had to do with other factors that were out of our control and I'm sure that 3000 years ago Armenians didn't say to themselves "we must outlive almost every nation of our time and that we're still going to stay Armenian in year 2004." I'm very glad that Armenians have survived to this day but let's not take it for granted. I always hear Armenians say that we're the smartes nation in the world blah blah blah...but I think that if we were so smart today and even in the past we wouldn't be in a shithole most of our history. Don't u guys think that our "smartness" would have been evident in our own history???? What's so smart about a nation who has no land after 3,000 year old history? You call today's tiny mountanous region a country which you can't even see it on the map? If Armenians were so smart then present day Armenia wouldn't be in a deep shithole politically and economically. I don't understand the whole point about the April 24th Genocide Marches in LA. Don't they understand that odars don't really care about the genocide??? It is an Armenian issue and we need to keep it to ourselves instead of "advertising" the event because our marches are not going to help to make the US government recognize the genocide. Maybe and hopefully it will recognize it in the future but right now it doesn't seem like it will and why would it if it is going to hurt its relationship with its "friend." The earth doesn't revolve around us.

The last sentence (spellings) in my posting probably shows how tired I'm right now loool

Azat, I just got back from Spain.... visited all those places that you've mentioned. I had a blast! I would not say the same thing about Spanish food because I'm very picky when it comes to food and there's certain things that I hate. I traveled to Barcelona, Madrid, Toledo, Valencia, Alicante, Cordova, Granada, Seville, Saragosa and back to BAreclona. I visted Gaudi and Tyssen (it had 2 of Arshile Gorky's works). Toledo was amazing just the view of the old part of the city from when you entered the city was amazing. I also visted ALahmbra in Granada. BArcelona was soooo beautiful especially the part of the city (center) which was done by Antonio Gaudi. I also visted the Gothec Quarter and Cathedral. I've taken about 320 pics. I could post some in here but don't know how. If you guys want to see some of then let me know how I can do it. Everything was sooo expensive compare to US. food, gasolina, clothing, electronics, housing etc. I think that electronics was twice was much as it is in US. In US you could buy a CD player (sony) for $80 the most but in Spain the same thing would ahve cost you about 140 dollars. The prices went up once spain accepted euro. The average salary in Spain is lesss than it is in US and the prices are twice as much as they are in US and I don't understand how people managed to afford things. My time was limited so unfortunately I wasn't able to visit Picasso and Miro museums in Barcelona and La Rambla was crazy day and night! There were so many tourists at this time of the year that one could only imagine how bad it is during summer months. I also watched a Flamenco dance and the best thing about it was that they danced for a small group of people in a tiny room. I'd love to go back there again in the future. sorry for my spelling i spent most fot eh day in aeroport so the last thing I would want to do at this hour is think spelling errors. Buenas noches!

How would the bikers know where to find these guys (especially on a freeway).....somethings not right.

I think that in both cases you guys are right. Instead of waisting their money on other unuseful causes and things they should built a separate library inside of the museum.

I love Miles Davis' "Great expectation" it's about 16 minutes long but again all true jazz melodies are supposed to be that long. I also like Summertime by Ella & Louis. who can forget about "take Five " by Brubeck quartet. I also enjoy listening to Tatevick Hovhanissian's "Listen to my heart" album. I also like Miles' "Tutu" album Does anyone like bossa nova? I also like to listen to Stan getz. Someone in here put George Benson in the "classical jazz" category but that's not right he has nothing to do with classical jazz... he's style is contemprary. If any of you are not familiar with Miles' "Great Expectations" you're missing a lot. It takes me to another world
