    Maybe sneakers?
    What if I find someone else when looking for you? My soul shivers as the idea invades my mind.

      I can see that happening. It's a good line though. Might even be useful for a future song.

        In that case, continue taking notes:

        By the way, the original aphorism - as of the page:

        "You run ahead?— Are you doing it as a shepherd? Or as an exception? A third case would be the fugitive ... First question of conscience."

          armenians for the most part have -ian last names (~95%) of us... there are some (~5%) whos last names end with -uni or -yants -- according to history books it is believed that those without the -ian last name were of higher level of citizenship... however, according to the history books all but 1 or 2 percent of those higher level of citizenship were killed first AND what i can infere from this is that those who have the non -ian last names currently (i.e. -yants or -uni), have changed their names to have it be remembered or to have it continue to live in our culture.

          moving on to the topic of the thread --- my last name is Boyadjian - this means painter in turkish... i dont know anyone in my family who is a painter... we were known as the "Lrchants Boyadjiannereh" which means "blue eyed painters"

          However i do know that my grandfather when he was living in Lebanan he had a sowing business and my whole fmaily worked in it... when he came to Armenia to live there (as this was his dream) the communists beat him almost to death and he could not continue his line of business, and he died of internal organ failure... (contributed to the communistakan beatings in the jails)...

          - long live the soviet government!
          - ohh wait its gone (phewww) --- a little too late huh?

              Don't forget that many Armenians had to get rid of the "ian" endings for various reasons..

              Maybe it's Goolvartian

              and that's armenian, the thing in bold

                  Che_Ka,
                  I'm afraid that is pure homophonic coincidence! Gulvart is an Armenian first name - like Sirvart etc.
                  More later! I have to go!

                  !IKE has a point!

                      Oops! lol

                      While we all know what "sir" in "Sirvart" means, what does the "gool" in "Goolvart" mean?
