English/Farsi

I'm at a local coffee shop close to my house, trying to finish my Statement of Purpose for grad schools.
I just noticed that the owner of this coffee shop is an Iranian, he doesn't have the middle eastern look, and actually has a perfect American accent.
He is talking to another Iranian fellow in both Farsi and English.
I think he has no clue that I'm Iranian :-)
When I wanted to order my usual non-fat latte he greeted me in french! (I get that alot, here most people think I'm either French or Israeli!).

The subject of their conversation is "women" obviously! They are saying what a night the night before was, and are talking about a 40 something years old woman who has cheered them up.
this part is obviously in Farsi (no one will undrestand :-) ) The other fellow describes her "koon" so perfectly that you can easily imagine the shape of her butt!
He says, "do you remember how she bent over (Dolla shod) ? her "koon-movement" was awsome, no one can shake (tekoon bedeh) her "koon" like that!"
Ok! now they are moving from butt to other parts of her body!

Their conversation is so annoying and won't let me focus on my statement. When I want to leav e I might say "Khodaa-haafez". Not sure yet though :-)

وقتی اوضاع و شرایطتون مثل الان من باشه، کارهایی می کنید که بعدش میشینید و میگید عجب غلطی کردم
این چه کاری بود کردم .
بعد برای اینکه خودتون و حرکاتتون رو توجیه کنید همه چیز را می اندازید گردن شرایطی که دارید!

سرنوشت

همیشه مخالفت می کردم با کسانی که از سرنوشت حرف می زدند، معتقد بودم که سرنوشت را ما می سازیم . این آدمیه که تصمیم می گیره و انتخاب می کنه...حالا می گم خیلی از قسمتهای زندگی از دست
