邊緣性格

出社會這麼多年來，一直不曉得自己個性中仍有某些部份未被了解，直到最近跟朋友抱怨工作上的事時，她說了一句: 你的邊緣性格又出現啦。我才猛然一醒，是啊，沒錯，我確實是有某種邊緣性格在我血液裡，過去對中產階級的嘲弄，現在進入算是中產階級的某大公司卻發現自己格格不入，對於同事的許多刻板印象開始感到不耐，而更慘的是，我發現我開始對這產業感到煩躁，幾乎大多數的人都必須用粗暴的態度才能壓得住對方，必須擺出某種很強硬的姿態才能生存下去。

我終於開始瞭解到到底哪些東西會摧殘生命中曾經擁有過的真誠與美好，那種必須一直帶著的偽善與虛假，那種爾虞我詐的心機算計，許多在檯面下操盤的動作，我很想抵抗，但必須要付出很多代價。

或許抵抗社會的傾斜是一種對抗風車的瘋狂。

我開始困惑了。

剛左搖滾後記

現在回頭再看我翻譯【剛左搖滾】這本書的那段期間像是一場夢境。一場我精神狀態幾乎完全投入進去的狀態，每夜每頁的逐字斟酌、翻譯，隨著書中的故事忽而大笑忽而掉淚，然後到了凌晨再拖著疲憊的身體睡覺，我想我對翻譯作業其實會有某種偏執的情況出現，會一直想要不停的修改直到我自己覺得滿意為止，但這往往跟截稿時間是相衝突的，編輯會希望快定稿，但我卻還想再改。

其實那時候看到書出來時，會有種亢奮的狀態，然後讀著譯稿會為書中主角悲劇性的遭遇不自主的掉下淚來，這種狀態大概過了一個月後才慢慢消失，老婆常常覺得我很奇怪，幹嘛老是在看自己譯的書，難道翻譯的時候還看不夠嗎？

我無法回答，只有微笑。

憂慮像馬蠅 (數位詩)

憂慮像是馬蠅
在一個滿身是汗的夏日中嗡嗡叫
潛水轟炸
並瞄準您的弱點。

有關於憂慮
它以有毒的苦惱
故意地開闢你底層的想法
從強迫性恐懼和神志清楚地

避免毒性鬧事者吧
雖然您無法控制其他人的行為
但你知道你嘗試了

布希跟高爾的刮盤遊戲

布希跟高爾。

http://www.jibjab.com/play.asp?contentid=33&groupid=2

按兩邊唱盤可以刮唱盤配音（可以按久一點），

拉唱盤旁的拉桿可把科林頓跟老布希叫出來伴舞，還可調整位置，

主唱唱歌時，游標指著或點選其他人，其他人也各有反應。

我玩了一下，還蠻有趣的。

有誰去過或知道這家PUB？

誰會帶路啊？

無責任樂評？

看到某網站貼上「無責任樂評」這五個字，我心裡就想，評論怎會沒有責任呢，既然連任何一種最單純的文章都有文責，怎會作者自己說沒責任就真的沒了責任？這 就讓我想到那句常看到的「以上言論不代表本台立場」這種狗屁話，反正這樣類似的句子到最後也不是真的沒責任，只是說若某人或某利益團體組織看到了就知道， 可能最先找的是說話的那些人，而且若要鬧大，相關監製單位也一定一口撇清關係，大致就是這樣子。

其實我不是要批評那網站寫的內容，因為那不是我的重點，況且裡頭有的文章也寫的不錯，只是一看到最上頭的那五個字，就覺得現在這社會要有擔當的人也還真是少，上至廟堂諸公，下至中小學生，大概就是那樣子了，平常歪理很多，但若要他扛責任，第一個跑走的就是他們。

所 以現在網路的論壇或討論區最流行也是這部份原因，大家都用暱稱躲在後頭，平常沒地方發洩，一下課下班就到處製造謠言或雞毛蒜皮的話題，而最大宗的就是星 座算命、影劇綜藝版及政治版，若不信可以到各大入口網站的主題討論區去逛逛就知道，誰的八卦及粉絲評論都可找到，以前我還有時會上去看看玩玩，但現在只覺 得自己很無聊也不會在上去晃，因為真的不知道要幹嘛。

美國著名作家杭特．湯普森舉槍自殺身亡

（法新社洛杉磯二十日電） 警方說，一九六零年代以反文化及尖銳筆觸見長的傳奇作家杭特．湯普森（Hunter S Thompson），今天舉槍自殺身亡。

這位今年六十七歲的作家和記者，最著名的作品是一九七一年的「賭城迷幻之旅」。他顯然是在科羅拉多州的自宅舉槍自盡。

科羅拉多州彼得金郡政府一名女發言人告訴法新社：「郡警察局可以證實，湯普森顯然在自宅舉槍自殺身亡。」

不過有鑒於許多人認為湯普森是二十世紀美國最重要的作家之一，當局拒絕透露有關他死亡的進一步詳情。

一九三七年七月出生的湯普森，以具爆炸性和嘲諷的寫作風格聞名，他以這種筆觸描述他的個人獨特經歷，刻劃成稀奇古怪且引人入勝的故事。

湯普森的小說幾乎都是以第一人稱敘述，內容游走在真實和虛幻邊緣，且向有「瘋狂」記者封號，並使他成為異端份子。

一九六六年他的作品「地獄天使」被改編成電影，並使他一砲而紅。

Just Like Honey

過去對於The Jesus & Mary Chain並沒有太大的喜愛，想想主要的原因應該是他們就只有那張Psychocandy讓我喜歡而已，其他後來發行的幾張，往往讓我覺得有點失望吧。

不過最近在電視上重看Lost in Translation發現最後響起Just Like Honey這首曲子時其實是別有用意的，尤其當Bill Murray與那女孩吻別時，這首超迷幻的曲子便輕輕地在背景出現唱著「It's good, so good, it's so good, So good」時，相信許多熟知這首曲子的觀眾應該都看的酥軟了吧。而如果再去看看歌詞的話，或許第二段的詞意最能闡釋當時男主角的矛盾心情。

只是這首歌若聽完會發現整首歌詞有點詭異，或者說相當適合dominant/ slave的情色場景使用，知道我意思吧？如果你看完這整首歌詞的話。


Listen to the girl
As she takes on half the world
Moving up and so alive
In her honey dripping beehive
Beehive
It's good, so good, it's so good
So good

Walking back to you
Is the hardest thing that
I can do
That I can do for you
For you

I'll be your plastic toy
I'll be your plastic toy
For you

Eating up the scum
Is the hardest thing for
Me to do

Just like honey (x 17)

PS: 這張原聲帶另外一首值得注意的歌曲
My Bloody Valentine
Song: Sometimes

Close my eyes
Feel me now
I don't know how you could not love me now
You will know, with her feet down to the ground
Over there, and I want true love to grow
You can't hide, oh no, from the way I feel

Turn my head
Into sound
I don't know when I lay down on the ground
You will find the __ __ hurts to love
Never cared, and the world turned hearts to love
We will see, oh now, in a day or two
You will wait
See me go
I don't care, when you're head turned __ _ __
You will wait, when I turn my eyes around
Overhead when I hold you next to me
Overhead, to know the way I see

Close my eyes
Feel me now
I don't know, maybe you could not hurt me now
Here alone, when I feel down too
Over there, when I await true love for you
You can hide, oh now, the way I do
You can see, oh now, oh the way I do
