~*~ About Me ~*~

~*~ What is Irad?? ~*~

Irad is a country in Central Asia (next to Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan) and right now its a US territory, so its kind of America too!!! The name Irad means the North Star. Iradis are famous for horses, music and being really really stubborn (my dad says thats me). My great-grandparents came to Chicago after World War 2 and there are like thousands of Iradis here now.

NOTE: it is NOT Iraq. it is NOT Iran. stop asking. ok thx

~*~ "Swift Hooves" ~*~

ok so everyone in America says "EYE-rad" because of this song and my grandpa HATES it lol, he says its "ee-RAHD". but i LOVE the song. we play it at every party and all the uncles do the horse dance. it came out in 1993 so before i could even talk but its still the best. i wont put the words here bc of copyright but my friend Beknazar in Talas has all the words on his page!!!
