•       请不要再问:以后想做什么?

     

          小时候总有人这样问:长大了以后你想干什么?问者要么期待我们简单地回答一种职业的名称(我的经历),要么要求我们把这样的志愿写成文章(一位香港同学的经历)。无论是哪一种期待,大家都希望从孩提的回答中找到无所拘束又光辉远大的志向,本质上跟抓周没什么两样。而当这些孩子长大了,在某一行真干出点什么来了以后,他们...

    为创作人出专辑

    Tag:生活
          所谓的音乐专辑,好像许多都是某一个歌手或某一个组合在唱着不同创作人的作品。作曲填词者也许此来彼往,但唱出来的声音都是一样的。有时候主唱者会邀请别人跨刀一两首,即所谓的feature。但那隐藏着的还是不同的创作人,听众中也许记得他们的人没几个。 

          想想说,如果创作人和主唱的位置互换,会不会是一个有趣的组合呢?一张专辑里,专的是创作人,换的是演唱者;一个乐队...

    On Fire

    Tag:生活
    Don't know why I was high. Neither why I was low. Crazy through weeks and weeks, into this craziness and so. Exhausted by the fire in the dreams, still crawling towards another exit, or you say, the entrance.

    游魂海上

    Tag:无笔
    A 你说,如果我学会了走路,就将永远失去轮椅。我说,当我学会了走路,我还需要轮椅吗?

    A 大家说你悲观,我却觉得你只是在捅破谎言。当然,失去了谎言也许就失去了原来的保护。我以为我会掉进深谷,你却说,看,希望和智慧的保护网就在那里,我们其实不需要谎言。

    B 我知道你说的不是事实,我却还是觉得难过。当你用语言的尖锋刺向我,我保持微笑,因为真相已不辨自明。可惜,莫名的情绪总在别处的细枝末节上爆发。我也不知道,何以我突然如此激动了起来。

    Funny Critics

    Tag:飞跃 无笔
    According to the Economist, "Conservative critics of Ms Sotomayor are doubly enraged by her feminist leanings and the perception that her Hispanic roots could lead her to make decisions based on ethnicity rather than the law." It sounds funny, because ...
  • They may or may not be the most important passages by Nietzsche. But I certainly love the following few in his Book Four of The Gay Science.

  • I saw them falling apart. Everything, like the jigsaws, simply distributed to everywhere, to all directions, and for all purposes. I start arguing with myself. Anger, fear, and sadness occupied the whole body. I drowned into silence, overwhelmed and lo...

    Some jokes about PhD

    After becoming PhD students, we came to realise that:
    Protein has been degraded(蛋白降解了) Phenotype has disappeared(表型消失了) Pretty heavily Depressed(相当郁闷) Parents have Doubts(父母开始怀疑我们) Professors have Doubts(老师也不再信任我们)

    Let Go

    Tag:生活

    It doesn’t matter any more. Illness teaches me to let go.

    All the social principles, norms and schemas chased me way through to the corner. My fists held tightly, my body shock tensely, and my breaths ran fast. Firmly, my back was tie...

    The Museumn Night II

    Tag:无笔

    The Museumn Night II is now in the cinema. If you ask me, I prefer the first one. Story flew better in the first movie. It told the audience about 80% of the stories that one might get out of the two. The good part about the second movie, which is also...

  •       林夕的歌词赚过很多人的眼泪。有记者说,不仅林夕的歌词,他本身也让很多女星流下飞蛾扑火后的眼泪。翻了几章他的书,忽然有种很熟悉的感觉。他信佛的吧?如果这是常识,那算是我孤陋寡闻,只闻其声不问其身。如果这是误会,至少他对佛家的理念甚是崇尚。

          总觉得现在香港流行乐坛不如八、九十年代。就歌手而言,被力捧者可以五音不全,靠歌词曲风、靠电脑特技出碟。以至其实我不是太明...

    燃烧

    Tag:无笔 飞跃
            那火烫的,燃烧在心里的海。却一句话也说不出来。那难以平静的血管,颤动着手臂上的每一个细胞。却只有表情,没有言语。还能说什么呢?既然是那么地不切实 际,不知民间疾苦,不懂人情世故;既然被关于孤岛,与蛀着虫的故纸堆为伴,自命不凡;既然那么崇英、抱美、舔日,受尽邪恶势力的荼毒。还能说什么呢?对真 相的热忱,对未知的好奇,对理性的执着,对逻辑的信任,在这样的指责面前都变得无语,根本没有讨论的基础。然而,火继续烧,以那激荡的温度;要知道,...
