SI.com - Writers - Dr. Z: Zidane's outburst understandable in flop-filled game - Monday July 10, 2006 5:04PM

Zinedine Zidane is not a flopper or a whiner or a moaner. I have never seen him pull one of those scenes from the last act of La Boheme, enacting his death tableau on the field after the merest brush of contact. I haven't seen him lying there at death's door while they go through with the most ridiculous of all dramas, the entry of the stretcher.

I'm 20, female, and I've been all over the world- that was a lie. I've been around the world, but not all over it. If you're still reading, I've lived in Iran for about a year, I studied in Iran for about a year, and I had many an epiphany in Iran for about a year. I've been about fifty feet from tyranny, and born in the arms of democracy. I'm a child of freedom swathed in the cloth of humanity and fed the fire of Prometheus. I don't think I'll ever grow up, however, I'm still in academia, still plying my trade as a student, and still enamored with the places that have shaped me. This blog is a simple escape for me to write about Iran, and what I saw through my eyes there. My blog was started in Iran, and up until 2006 that's where it stayed. Now, it's more of what I can digest now that I'm out of Iran. I think people misunderstand each other, and "ignorance is bliss" got it all wrong. Ignorance is not worthy of bliss! "Sweet sleep on the morning of departure Retains the pedestrian from the road."
