FIRST THEY CAME for the Communists,
and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist.
THEN THEY CAME for the Trade Unionists,
and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Trade Unionist.
THEN THEY CAME for the Jews,
and I didn’t speak up because I wasn't a Jew.
THEN THEY CAME for me,
and there was no one left to speak up for me.

Correcting my life
辞职在家已经进入第七个星期,你可以认为我到现在都没找到新工作,依我的观点我是到现在还没有开始认真找工作。
在家的这段日子,我完成了很多我一直想做却抽不出时间或下不了决心做的事。当中包括除掉困扰了我两年的痔疮,我告诉自己绝不会把痔疮带进新公司,单是痔疮就耗了我将近三个星期的时间。我也趁这段时间好好整理睡房,那些囤积了数年的杂物及尘埃,是时候清理清理了。我还为自己买了一个真正的衣橱,并祈祷在未来几年里不要淹水,木制家具可是不谙水性的。现在房间已经一步一步接近我理想中的样子了,希望在今年内可以完成房间大改造。
虽然我没有工作,可是我不觉得自己闲着,我继续寻找生活中还有那些地方需要调整。我不怎么担心找不找得到新工作,我的心情还能调适。
已经好久没有和旧同学见面,大家都说我失踪了。我也忘了最后一次和大家聚在一起是什么时候的事,可能快三年吧。这个月初一个同学结婚,我没有参加,我很想去,但是很遗憾我的情绪很糟。我怀疑自己是不是得了人群恐惧症,一到人多的地方就感到不自在。加上当时我也正在面对那顽固痔疮的纠缠,更加没有心情参加那么喜庆的宴会。
这个借口会不会很牵强?可能我就是喜欢玩自闭玩失踪,却编了一大堆理由不和朋友们见面。其实我很想念大家,也想快点和大家reconnect。我一定会和大家再相聚,给我一点时间,待我把眼前的问题一一解决,就是我重见天日之时。

好歌不停[10] The Remedy by Jason Mraz
Jason Mraz 的一位朋友得了癌症,这首The Remedy 是他得到启发而写的。
据说后来他的朋友癌症痊愈了,不知道是不是托Mraz 的福呢。
最喜欢歌词里那句“You can turn off the sun, but I'm still gonna shine”。
Well I saw fireworks from the freeway
And behind closed eyes I cannot make them go away
'Cause you were born on the fourth of July, freedom ring
Something on the surface it stings
I said something on the surface
Well it kind of makes me nervous
Who says, that you deserve this
And what kind of god would serve this?
We will cure this dirty old disease
Well if you gots the poison, I've gots the remedy
The remedy is the experience
This is a dangerous liaison
I says the comedy, is that it's serious
This is a strange enough new play on words
They say the tragedy is how you're gonna spend
The rest of your night with the light on
So shine the light on all of your friends
When it all amounts to nothing in the end
I won't worry my life away
I won't worry my life away
Well I heard two men talking on the radio
In a cross fire kind of new reality show
Uncovering the ways to plan the next big attack
Where they were counting down the ways to stab
The brother in the be right back after this
The unavoidable kiss, with the minty fresh
Death breath sure to outlast this catastrophe
Dance with me,
'Cause if you got the poison,
I've gots the remedy
When I fall in love, I take my time
There's no need to hurry when I'm making up my mind
You can turn off the sun, but I'm still gonna shine
And I'll tell you why...

唯我独尊 U ARE THE ONE
新传媒优频道的寻星节目也太多了吧,从绝对Superstar 到校园Superstar,
又有非常Superband 和超级主持人,接着又来一个校花校草追赶跑。
最近又搞了一个唯我独尊,说是要寻找可以代表优频道的年度新脸孔。
比赛的用意含糊而牵强,什么叫年度新脸孔?
最后胜出的这个新脸孔到底有什么任务,不停地卖弄脸孔?
不停地拍照,为优频道做宣传工作?
如果真的只是为了那张脸孔,那也没必要搞那么多才艺表演了。
也难怪,连不会说华语的也有资格参赛。
不过是一个假寻星之名,行赚钱之实、内容空洞的无聊节目。

阅读的定义
为什么要以一个人在一年内看过几本书来衡量阅读风气?
是不是一定要到书局买书或到图书馆借书来看才算阅读?
是不是一定要看文学类小说或激励人生之类的书籍才算阅读?
每天阅读报章新闻不算阅读吗?看杂志不算阅读吗?
为什么?因为报章杂志的内容没有文学价值?
还是报章太便宜、内容太生活化?杂志上写的全是废话?
看网络上的资料不算阅读?
难道因为没有被印刷出来,所以不被承认?
还是因为免费的资源都没有价值?
为什么到了今时今日还要用这么狭义的标准?
不要以为只有书才能提升自我。
不要以为只有所谓爱书人才是阅读分子。
不要以为所有爱书人都是知识分子。
不要以为手里捧着一本书可以掩饰你的无知。

Backstreet Boys
原来我一直喜欢Backstreet Boys 的歌,他们是实力相当的歌唱组合。
我想我喜欢他们的其中一个原因是他们的歌不会像美国一些歌手歌词写得低俗又充满性暗示。
以下是其中三首我很喜欢的。
Shape of my heart (2000)
Show me the meaning of being lonely (1999)
最爱这首。。。
I want it that way (1999)

除疮记 - Day 2>Day 5
医师给的药是橙色的,味道不会太难闻,有一点像是颜料油漆之类的。
当然我的痔疮不会自动露出来,我当天大便后就没有将它推进去,然后敷药用棉花将它包住,再用胶纸把棉花固定好。
从那时开始,痔疮就全天露在体外,我一天大概换三次药。
由于痔疮一直露在体外的极度不适,我没办法好好的坐下。
一坐下由于压力和挤压会造成疼痛,所以我几乎一直是躺着或站着,行动也非常不便,躺下或起身都变得很困难,我尽可能减少运用臀部的肌肉。
睡觉也不怎么舒服,因为我只能侧躺或趴着睡,不能仰卧,而且每换一个姿势都要费一番力气。
每天依旧到医师那里一次,给他检查及换药。
老实说他包的不好,纵横交错地黏上胶纸,但很容易就松脱,我比较喜欢自己包。
不过还是每天报到,付了这么多钱总要让他做点事才舒服。
我估计那类似颜料的药的作用是封锁痔疮的氧气供应,让它逐渐硬化干死。
因为几天过去以后我发现橙色药已经接近贴着痔疮,痔疮也变硬了。
第四天我又大便了,而且见血了。已经很多个月没流血,今天再一次见血,不怎么好受。

好歌不停[9] Dance Floor Anthem by Good Charlotte
节奏感十足又充满活力的一首歌。
我觉得这首歌值满分,特别喜欢那琅琅上口的副歌。
MV 也拍的很好,不过MV 里那句To the beat 只唱一次,应该要重复三次才好听。
She’s going out to forget they were together
All that time he was taking her for granted
She wants to see if there’s more
Than he gave she’s looking for
He calls her up
He’s trippin’ on the phone now
He doesn’t want her out there and alone now
He knows she’s moving it
Knows she’s using it
Now he’s losing it, she don’t care
Everybody put up your hands
Say I don’t wanna be in love, I don’t wanna be in love
Feel the beat now
If you’ve got nothing left
Say I don’t wanna be in love, I don’t wanna be in love
Back it up now
You’ve got a reason to live
Say I don’t wanna be in love, I don’t wanna be in love
Feelin’ good now
Don’t be afraid to get down
Say I don’t wanna be in love, I don’t wanna be in love
He was always givin’ her attention
Looking hard to find the things she mentioned
He was dedicated but most suckers hate it
That girl was fine but she didn’t appreciate him
She calls him up
She’s trippin’ on the phone now
He had to get up and he ain’t coming home now
He’s tryin’ to forget her
That's how we come with him
When he first met her
When they first got together
To the beat....To the beat....To the beat....
You got nothing to lose
Don’t be afraid to get down
We break up, it’s something that we do now
Everyone has got to do it sometime
It’s okay, let it go
Get out there and find some more
It’s too late to be trippin’ on the phone here
Get off the wire, you know everything is good here
Stop what you’re doin’, you don’t wanna ruin
The chance that you got to find a new one
Nah, Nah
Now you know what to do
So come on feelin’ good

垃圾留言
怎么那么烦啊?
刚开始我还真以为有人来留言,可是没理由全是用英文留言,而且内容毫不相干。
其实根本是垃圾,是其他网站打广告的留言。
但怎么那么没眼光,我这里门可罗雀,要打广告也不应该选我这里。
害我要一直把留言删除,拜托不要来我这里倒垃圾了好不好!

胡子
当了二十几年男人,直到一个月前我才第一次买剃刀,第一次用剃刀剃胡子。
之前我都在用剪刀,觉得剪刀很好用。
不是买不起剃刀,就是很喜欢剪刀,觉得用剪的很有满足感。
可是老实说用剪的很累,有时候几乎要一根一根剪才行。
所以决定买剃刀,试试剃的感觉。
结果感觉很不错,真的很干净,又方便很多。
可能是想剃干净一点,有时还划破了皮。
不过我也没有完全放弃剪刀,因为我有剪鼻毛的习惯,鼻毛稍微长一点我就忍不住想剪。
