Sinatras the Trashcan- (2004) It's a Miracle

And I'm an ORACLE!!

在此貼上一曲"完美拋物線"的最佳配樂。
當然瑪莉兄弟海底關卡是我的首選。
但是這首曲子中間電吉他 solo也是個不錯的搭配，
曲名更是應景。



gone...it didn't last too long
no lack of trying on our part
as i was saying to the others
it's a miracle we try anything at all
you pour your heart out
knowing full well

it could fail, fail, fail
but how could we know back then?
it's a rare old grail, pricelessly to fail
older sins cast longer shadows
when we watch them fade and die

it's a lovely day in sunlight's golden ray
but that just slips away - isn't it a shame
and it's cold now at night

and i hear your name
calling me back through the days
you're a rare old flame, burning bright again
all those things that we shared matter now
i just can't say goodbye
do i have to try?

honey, it's no crime to lose your way
everyone, in their turn, gets to fail

well how could we know back then?
such a rare old grail, (pricelessly) to fail
older sins cast longer shadows
when we watch them fade and die

it's a miracle

完美拋物線

離交稿給阿姨的日期剩一個禮拜，期限當天適逢中秋，多好的時間點呀。而我卻在19號出門辦事時，出了車禍。事後推斷，這可能和17號晚上和胖妹的麥當勞約會有關。見面時他提到一直未遇上有緣人的可能原因是祖墳出了問題。當時我不該在心中放肆嘲笑他的，現在連我都想出為他家祖墳出點心力了。又或者是我一直以不善良的心態面對想和我維持友誼的前水果行小開男友。在出車禍不久，收到一封由他轉寄來有關“限定繼承”和“拋棄繼承”的文章。他必然是感受到我的惡意了，所以會有如此低劣詛咒別人父母的信件。

被撞之後仔細回想是否已出現徵兆，這才發現是自己給自己帶來穢氣。自從開始規律上圖書館之後，一個念頭不時在騎車時浮現：若是讓我來處理一個事故場景，比方說車禍，我一定會選擇慢動作、拋物線、消音，然後搭配上瑪莉兄弟海底關卡的背景音樂。這樣的選擇純屬直覺沒有理由，但我堅持瑪莉兄弟。這樣高反差的組合，一向對我胃口，因為該說的都說了，不用說的一句也不多，全都被涵蓋其中。所以是否能稱這起事故為意念的實現呢？除了當下瑪莉兄弟的音樂並沒有在腦中響起讓我有些失望，我的確感受到慢‧動‧作！

當我感受到一股強大力量強行將我與阿穩(我的座騎)分離時，腦中像是亮起慢速跑馬燈「我‧出‧車‧禍‧了」。接下來降落在對方的引擎蓋上、再滑落到柏油路上、到我察覺到左腳踝又扭傷而發出如受到刑求者的低吼前，一切像是在個緩慢的扭帶上進行。時間凝結在引擎蓋上，我竟有種解脫的奇異感受。然而它並未持續多久，緊接著便是哭天搶地的吼叫、救護車、警察、筆錄、和歐巴桑駕駛獲得和解、交換聯絡資料以便後續保險理賠需要，以及接下來漫長的腫脹。當因扭傷在地上打滾時，我請對方幫忙聯絡在工地的母親，那是在疼痛中由牙縫擠出的姓名與電話，本已耗盡氣力。但聽到對方打去竟說：「請問xxx的母親在嗎？」，我只好再擠出一些氣力說：「xxx是我媽！」。如果當時我並不是在地上滾，可能也會笑到趴地。不過當時的情況是，忍笑比忍痛來得容易多了。

在痛楚折磨我的間隙，我還做了許多事。首先，是尋找我的眼鏡，誰曉得接下來的發展是否會因看不清楚而吃了大虧。而且，那可是我大老遠南下高雄挑了半天，花了三張兒童紙幣買下的。如果毀了，陪同我挑選的劉吃應該會比擁有者還要難過 (他對那隻眼鏡的熱愛，近乎異常！)。然後便是請人把跳到老遠的猴子拖鞋給撿回來，那是廖喵的愛。當我躺著的視線落到同樣倒在路旁的阿穩時，看著它的肚皮，我想起裡頭剛從銀行領出的巨款。這時趕緊請一旁的警察將車箱內的皮包取出，之後便一路緊抓袋口到急診室。見到母親的第一件事，就是交代皮包內的錢，沒想到竟被取笑“死要錢”。這也難怪，對她來說不過是幾個月薪水，多賣兩棟樓就賺回來了。不過從我挨撞之後，母親對我的照料是沒話說的周到。除了心懷感激外，也擔憂要達到她的看護標準似乎挺困難。母親還把我的衣服拿去“收驚”。收驚的人一看到我的姓名及住址便說：「喔！這個“很重”喔！」。原來對方不是在嘲笑我的體重，是指我“受驚”的很嚴重，需要去兩次。而在第二次收完驚後的晚上，我開始靜下心來整理先前的進度，所以這檔事只能寧可信其有。

經過如此的撞擊，回想起來也真是命大！如果沒先落在對方車上，那可能就不只是扭傷、雙腳瘀傷了。而左腳舊傷加上包括腳底三面都有的瘀傷，竟沒傷到骨頭。所謂大難不死，必有後福。我不求有大福 (除了產季快到的“莓大福”)，只希望能經這一撞，撞出些論文火花，早日上岸。

Enlightenment! Enlightenment!

最後僅以此文此圖獻給讓我體悟“女人當自強”的劉吃。

Weightlifting in Moon Holiday

無法看月亮的中秋夜

因為還得依賴輪子移動，所以看不到月亮，也看不到想念的大家。

秋天似乎真的要來了，籤詩中的花果也到了結寔時節。

花勒？果呢？我倒是被乾坤撞得七葷八素。

窗外吹進徐徐涼風，只要閉上雙眼便能回到待新竹的日子。

雙臂想念又圓又暖的肚子，大賣場也比遊樂場趣味。

雙腳思念又冰又涼的地板，走樓梯都比搭電梯情趣。

i discover the wheel and watch the buildings go by
you talk a little soft, turn off the radio
i just want to hear all the past times
the rushed hours, the endless lives
don't become a burden
say the word and be free

you will find a great weight lifting
easing your mind, a great weight lifting
just leave it behind, a great weight lifting
and you will find a great weight lifting

it's been a lonely winter hibernating away
you need a little sunlight on that face
how long can you stay in the darkness?
dust round the empty nest?
you could make you way out
if you lay down the load

you will find a great weight lifting
easing your mind, a great weight lifting
leave it behind, a great weight lifting
you will find a great weight lifting
just leave it behind, a great weight lifting
and you will find a great weight lifting

Plain White T's- (2007) Hey There Delilah (EP)

從常逛的音樂部落格上，看到這段文字覺得寫進了心坎：

「說到底，我倆都是用音樂過日子的人。如此而已。」

使我憶起剛交往時為劉吃準備的特製限定專輯，

也描出自己現在 “尚未崩解的部份”。

那塊屬於我與劉吃的愉快交集，邁入幸運七鮮美依舊。

Hey there Delilah
What's it like in New York City
I'm a thousand miles away
but girl tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Times Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true

Hey there Delilah
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice it's my disguise
I'm by your side

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me

Hey there Delilah
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me girl
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good

Hey there Delilah
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me

A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time that we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame

Hey there Delilah
You be good and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be done with school
And I'll be making history like I do
You know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here's to you
This one's for you

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me
Oh oh woah

Koop- (2006) I See a Different You

有多久？久到都忘了反複播放同一張專輯的行為曾經存在。

忘了音樂曾是如何鼓動人心，使人忘我地手舞足蹈；

忘了我是如何地需要它。

喚起這些的，是沒變裝癖卻包著男人的兩件洋裝。

Sampler的拼貼，交融著BossaNova的女音，

將我帶回只聽Siesta及elephant的大四時光。

So we are astray
There's nothing else to do
In another place
I see a different you

'Cause we
We left and lost again
I'll never love again

Oh, baby now we are apart
There's nothing we can do
In a different place
I see another you
And in another place
I see a different you

So we are astray
There's nothing else to do
In another place
I see a different you

'Cause we
We left and lost again
I See A Different You
I'll never love again

Oh, baby, now we are apart
There's nothing we can do
In a different place
I see another you
And in another place
I see a different you

Oh, we left and we lost
I'll never love again

Sinatras the Trashcan - (2004) Leave Me Alone

擁有過才曉得什麼叫失去
大笑完才瞭解什麼是哭泣
遇到你 才發現孤寂不是種享受

the hardest thing of all is to belong
the oddest thing of all this time
is i'm not sad at all, i can see beyond
the hardest thing of all - goodbye

leave me alone, you're all i wanted
don't haunt me now, don't want to know
leave me alone, i've found what i'm made of
don't want you back, don't need you back

got no place to go, feeling's going slow
the lowest of the low tonight
well how am i supposed to know
if you won't talk to me
don't talk to me

just leave me alone - you're all i wanted
don't haunt me now, don't want to know
just leave me alone, i've found what i'm made of
don't want you back, don't need you back

yeah, the hardest thing of all
the oddest thing of all
is i'm not sad alone
goodbye

leave me alone - you're all i wanted
don't haunt me now, don't taunt me now
leave me alone, i've found what i'm made of
don't want you back, don't need you back

Sambassadeur - (2005) New Moon

"All I'm waiting is something more to come."

It had me at the first line........

Sinatras the Trashcan- (1990) Obscurity Knocks

吉他刷刷刷 眼睛不再哇哇哇
嘎嘎嗚拉拉 見到BB哈哈哈

Always at the foot of the photograph - that's me there
Snug as a thug in a mugshot pose
Owner of this corner and not much more
Still these days I'm better placed to get my just rewards
I'll pound out a tune and very soon
I'll have too much to say and a dead stupid name

CHORUS
Though I ought to be learning I feel like a veteran
Of "Oh I like your poetry but I hate your poems"
Calendars crumble I'm knee deep in numbers
Turned 21, I've twist, I'm bust and wrong again

Rubbing shoulders with the sheets till two
Looking at my watch and I'm half-past caring
In the lap of luxury it comes to mind
Is this headboard hard? Am I a lap behind?
But to face doom in a sock-stenched room all by myself
Is the kind of fate I never contemplate
Lots of people would cry though none spring to mind

Know what it's like
To sigh at the sight of the first quarter of life?
Every stopped to think and found out nothing was there?

They laugh to see such fun
Playing Blind Man's Bluff all by myself
And they're chanting a line from a nursery rhyme
"Ba Ba Bleary Eyes - Have you any idea?"

The calendar's cluttered with days that are numbered

熊的傳人

貼的人說: Apparently if the pitcher clips you, you have to hop around on one foot to express your anger.

Love & Other Disasters (2006)-Yeah, I do love chick flicks!

Right! Right! It's super superficial. Yet, it's super real.



Jacks:
Love isn't always a lightning bolt, you know?
Maybe sometimes it's just a choice.

Pete:
Well, that's easy for you to say!
You're flying to Argentina to meet the love of your life!

Jacks:
That's just it. I don't know that Paolo's the love of my life'
but I've decided to give him the chance to be.
Maybe true love is a decision.
You know, a decision to take a chance with somebody.
To give to somebody without worrying whether they'll give anything back.
Or if they're gonna hurt you, or if they really are the one.
Maybe love isn't something that happens to you.
Maybe it's something you have to choose.
