Scary eyes

Not from a horror film, but everywhere around… young girls… they think it is fashionable and should be attracting or beautiful, but this is how I describe poeple with colored lenses – scary!!!

And the number of girls with dollish eyes is increasing around me - some friends, neighbors, acquaintances, people passing me by – looking like zombies, with nothing saying eyes, with no expression in them at all, just strange colors, blue, green, grey, so much alike and vividly artificial. And I always avoid those artificial looks, always had the feeling that people try to hide their self-being behind those lanses, as they say “eyes are the mirror of the soul”, and any desire to talk to people with frozen eyes disappears the next moment.

Why is this trend? Is it really beautiful or am I exaggerating something? They do not have eyesight problems, they do not have a role in a movie, where a girl with sea-deep blue eyes is needed. Do they have mental problems?

… how much I like my dark brown eyes…!!!

… սովորական …

Շաբաթ` առավոտ.
գիշերը կարծես հանգիստ եմ քնել,
ու արթնացել եմ ոչ թե զարթուցիչիս ելևէջներից,
որն ամեն առավոտ ինձ համար “Ով սիրու~ն, սիրու~ն” է երգում,
այլ` արևաշողի…ա~խ… ջերմ հպումից,
ու երգում եմ կրկին`
“Առավոտ լուսո, արեգակն արդար”…

Երկար քնելու մեջ մեկ լավ և մեկ վատ բան կա.
մեկ` որ երկար ես քնում,
մեկ էլ` երկար քնելդ նշանակում է, որ այսօր աշխատանքդ ոչ թե կանուխ է ու դրսում,
այլ` մի քիչ ուշոտ, բայց ներսում.

Նորից խոհանոց, գազօջախ,
փոշեկուլ, բաղնիք-զուգարան,
պոլի շոր, փոշիներ, նորից արդուկ…
Ու այդ ամենից հետո` բաղձանք դեպի մաքուր ջուր, բազկաթոռ
 ու քեզ նախկինում նողկալի, իսկ այժմ շատ-շատ հարազատ հեռուստացույց:

Become the voice of voiceless!!!

If you ever find a free time to kill till April 20, I advise you to visit the environmental exhibition titled “Become the voice of voiceless” at NPAK (Armenian center for contemporary experimental art). I blogged about this event, as well as the previous activities (Teghut Forest destruction in particular) carried out by this group of young environmental activists before.

The aim of this exhibition is to react to the urgent ecological issues through raising public awareness and developing environmental ethic through initiating various activities. Incidentally, it was the successful intervention of this young people due to which the destruction of a natural monument called Garni’s “Stone Symphony” was halted.

Hmm~

The globe must be very…very… extremely round,

or this city is extremely small.

!%^&&@#^%$&$@!^%$

…A real need -
A torch -
No torch –
Just broken ones,
And dime a dozen…
… no real one…

but just a limbo.

“It’s Your Choice” NGO’s PRELIMINARY STATEMENT on observation mission of the February 19, 2008, presidential election in Armenia

The observers of the It’s Your Choice (IYC), a non-governmental domestic election monitoring organization, monitored the February 19 presidential election in all 1923 polling stations of Armenia.

A day prior to the voting day the IYC monitored the sessions of electoral commissions and other relevant procedures held that day.

On the Election Day the IYC monitored the activities of electoral commissions, legality of voting and ballot counting, environment inside and outside polling stations, and expression of the voters’ free will.

As a result of the observation of the presidential election of 2008, the It’s Your Choice observed some tension and incidents which occurred during the voting process. According to our estimation, the tension was stimulated by the environment of intolerance dominating the entire official campaign period as well as impermissible methods of electoral campaigning irrespective of the principles of democratic elections, which were also emphasized in the IYC pre-election report.
