Thoughts of the day every day in 2013

8 April

Very quiet on here, think everyone is waiting for more information on the letter to Ocalan/erDOGan

My hope is that the PKK adhere to the cease-fire, remain exactly where they are, and use heir brains instead of their brawn to get support

Thr first thing that the PKK needs to do, and what they should have done years ago, is to find out what percentage of Kurds in North Kurdistan actually want Independence. Then they have to prove it

9 April

I am running late and nearly missed it

But this is such an important day because Piling has been here 8 YEARS

I doubt whether anything that anyone could say would upset her after all these years

Though I do think that Piling deserves a great deal of admiration and respect for all that she has done over the years to support Kurds

[Piling]

In French, the verb 'supporter' means 'to bear a burden', good !

[Piling]

Reading 'Eating Animals' of Jonathan Safran Poer. At the end of the book, everybody is supposed to become a vegeterian and even a vegan. But after the Lent, it only makes me hungry to read all that stuff about meal in plates.

I cannot eat any red meat, or game, or even duck - I had pet ducks and they all had completely different personalities

I tend to live on poultry such as chicken and Turkey, or fish. I could never eat pigs because they are far more intelligent than dogs

I can eat CHOCOLATE

[Piling]

And chicken have no personnalities ?

When I was a kid, I had a duck as a pet. And a rabbit also, and a dog and a guinea pig. Later my favorite pets are becoming cats.

But I think I am able to eat all kind of meat if I am hungry

[Piling]

French ppl are like Chinese, able to eat everything if the cook is good. Calling us frog and snail eaters is not a calumny.

I remember the shocked face of Kurds in the village of Rêzan (under Barzan) when I told them that the frogs which croaked all the night in the Zab river could make a very good meal…

But they had their revenge when an evening they served a meal of goat. Because I have to correct myself : goat is the one meal I don't like (with livers from all beasts). And they serve the guts and the head, with the brain inside, and the brain was the best part, keeping for the guests.

all kind of meat

You really scare me lady.

Sinan you would NOT want to get on the wrong side of Piling she is much more ferocious than any wolf

[Piling]

According to Western Zodiac I am a Lion. And for Chinese, a snake. No tiny cute sympathetic pets

I was just about to eat

Stuffed fogs legs are supposed to be delicious, I will have to pluck up the courage and try some one day

I am NEVER going to eat goat, goats make lovely pets

[Piling]

OMG I'm hungry. Wednesday as Friday are Fast days and my stomach is empty since 22 hours

What strange religion do you belong to that makes you spend half your life starving

If you ever come across a religion that bans eating chocolate please let me know and I will join to lose weight

[Piling]

No, diet for esthetic reasons

But I took the idea from our Kurdish Christians who spend many time to fast : Wednesday because that Day Judas betrayed Jesus and Friday because he died (Christ ; Judas died also but no one cried, except God).

Now modern vegetarians call that semi-vegetarism or Intermittent fasting but they have invented nothing.

NEVER heard of it before

Perhaps I should try a chocolate free day once a week
