where from

[sSsflamesSs]

Born in Yerevan...

Moved to South Dakota at the age of 10 (don't ask, haha...the common reaction I get is "What the hell was an Armenian doing in South Dakota?!?!?" For the ignorant, SD is a state of the US. ...

Moved to California at the age of 18, for college...but permanently...

Went back to Armenia in 2000 for 2 months (best 2 months of my life ever since I moved to the states in '93)...

As far as which one I prefer...nothing will ever beat my motherland. I plan to go back.

Originally posted by Emil I was born in Tehran. We moved to the states when I was 1. So I don't remember anything. That was 25 years ago. We first moved to San Diego, then a bunch of other places. From Pre-School to 7th grade I changed schools 5 times.

Emil

Have you thought of going back Emil?

Maybe we will...we've discussed this long ago in some thread, remember Baronchik? Sitting at a cafe in Yerevan, conversing....

Oh and as far as liking it here or there, well you these temporal things are funny, for how do I compare a past that is gone, by a present that never will be that past, in two different worlds?

I can't really say.

I've thought of it. I don't think it will happen unless the political climate changes. The main reason is because if I go back everybody says they'll keep me and make me join the army. I dunno, but I would like to visit.

He he, not if you have fat pockets and buy yourself out, that is what majority of Rabizes did during the war with Azerbadarjan. All the great guys went to meet their death, while the scum squatted on the corners, spat, picked wax out of their furry ears and threw dirty comments at every skirt passing by.

Gee and all those people died for what?

Behold the bullxxxx of nationalism.

Correction: They died why? Because they didn't have enough money to buy themselves out. Half of these guys were talented as hell and were a lot more passionate about contributing art or music to their country. Besides it was a draft, you didn't have a choice, if they knock on your door either you go or pay. No nationalism there, just plain corruption.

Like I said, behold the bullxxxx of nationalism.

What the xxxx is a draft if anything but coercion at its finest?
