感动

几天前和一个朋友谈起了中国的雪灾。他是湖南人，是受灾比较严重的地方。他告诉我当地的官员都不是东西，救灾无力。后来还是温家宝总理亲自到湖南去（去了两次？）才把救灾的事情落实。“大家都很感动！”朋友说这个话的时候很激动。
另一个朋友告诉我说在网上看到一个帖子，说是他们一家（发帖子的人）在电视上看到温家宝总理到灾区去看望灾民，他们一家都“感动”地哭了。
:-)我们中国人民的命真好呀，摊上了温家宝这样一个好总理。仔细再想想，我们中国人民的命一向很好，我们有周总理，邓（副）总理，赵总理，朱总理。现在又有了温总理。我们总是有“包公”为我们主持正义的。不管受多大的苦难，那都是下面的（小）贪官们造成的。只要包大人一到，尚方宝剑一祭出，顿时就是阳光普照，大家都沉浸在无限的幸福之中。（小）贪官们吓得是屁滚尿流，有时还要人头落地（当然，现在我们不砍头了），人民们最终就扬眉吐气了也！
当然，这个是世道好的时候，也就是“盛世”的时候。世道不好，或者是非“盛世”的时候，中国人民也不要怕，我们有“大侠”。大侠一到，青龙刀一祭出，顿时就是鸟语花香，大家都沉浸在极度的兴奋中。（小）贪官们的人头是要落下不少的，加上“大侠”多半还有一些些官方背景，人民不用担心官方会秋后算账，所以大多也可以扬眉吐气了。

有了这个知识，就可以理解当我告诉我的朋友，这个没有什么好感动的时候，他认为我是个地地道道的“龟头”（dickhead)。当然做了“龟头”的我立刻做了“龟头”应该做的事。就是缩回到了一个好地方。

听说，有人看了那个“感动地哭了”的帖子以后回帖云“看了你的帖子，我哭了！”。这哥们儿大概也是被感动的哭了吧。什么？你说不是？你他妈到底是不是中国人？！

T with pictures

It was a typical Sydney summer day. It was sunny, everyone was going to the beach to get burned. Men were wearing flamboyant beach shorts, sunnies either on their nose or their head depend on their sense of fashion. Some with dog(s), some with kid(s). Women with bikinis, big Paris Hilton sun glasses, tanned and proud. And everyone was wearing their favorite T (except, of course, these hotties with bikini and these hairy animals with ...hairs on their chest ... you know what i am talking about right?)

I was there, as any average Aussie male. T, sunnies, shorts and thong. I went for a beach walk from Coogee to Bondi and was enjoying it. Then I noticed there were looking at me ... from females. And ... were they the nastiest looks I have ever got. Hi ladies, what've I done to deserve this? I was puzzled then realized ... they gave me this nasty look because I was, as a very curious guy, looking at their T shirts. You know this kind of T shirts. They are supposed to be artistic, others are supposed to to alternative (or cool). Some have abstract art work printed on it, some have cute pictures and some have words printed on them. But ... that is not the problem. This problem is .... they print these bloody things on this particular place of the T shirt that is under the neck and just above the belly, where, dare I say, the most beautiful pcs of female body part reside.

So, hold on a moment, my dear ladies. As much as I love this particular part of the female body I am not of the perversive kind. What I was looking at are these art works on your T shirt, abstract or alternative. and the words written on them too. The damn thing is that you need a really really sharp eye and a very very fast braind to make sense of those things without looking at them for too long. And me for one possess neither. I need to put my eyes on them for at least half a minitue to actually make out what the hell the supposed artistic or alternative art was all about. As a non native English speaker, it would take me twice as long to understand the words. The worst thing is they put word games on T shirts, in this case, I need to read them again and again and again to get them. And being such a curious guy, I can hardly resist the temptation, not of the flesh but of the things on T shirts.

So, T shirt designers and manufactures. Listen up. If you really really want to put art work on T shirts, please put them on a different place where one can look at them as long as they want without offending people. AND ... never put more than 4 words on T shirts... ever.

Meanwhile, next time I go to a beach, I will make sure I wear a pair of very thick sun glasses. This may help a bit .. ;-)

随便的一篇

有多半年没有写博了。想写的东西是很多的，可是一是本人比较懒，二是本人是三个孩子的父亲了，再有就是工作是有点忙的，还有就是要做的事情太多了，比如赚钱：-）。。。总之，没有写博的理由是很多的，虽然不知道到有没有人读我的博，但是总还是要给自己一个交代吧，所以今天又开始写了，希望可以保持一个月2-3篇。是我新年计划（NY's resolutions）的一部分吧。

去年十月份回中国去看父母，呆了一个多月，除了看到了祖国的美好风光以外（和不太美好的风光），我知道了一些国内的地上地下的音乐，我前前后后听了左小祖咒，沙子乐队，李志，子曰，幸福大道，龙宽九段。还第一次听了所谓“超女”和“XX男”的东东。感觉挺好的。

我喜欢左小祖咒。今天就讲左小祖咒。

听他的东西让我想起另外一个我很喜欢的音乐人（音乐人？是什么样的人？）金武林。老金的唯一的一张唱片《严肃音乐》是我最喜欢的唱片之一。我喜欢他把自己的音乐叫做《严肃音乐》，虽然他在那里是流里流气（使用这个词再次证明了我70后的身份）地唱着，可是他的音乐是严肃地，严肃地做出来的。不是随随便便的为了应景写出来的徐沛东之流的玩意儿。只有用心做出来的东西才是严肃的，严肃的东西不一定是要板着脸的。（说到这，我觉得中文把serious翻译成严肃并不完全正确）

左小祖咒的东西就是严肃的。恬着脸无耻地笑着的那种严肃。看着左小祖咒戴着帽子的照片的照片的第一印象就是这个人没正经，但是好玩儿正是他的歌词出彩的地方。好玩儿但是致命的严肃。所以我说要听他的音乐人人都应该戴一顶不合时宜的帽子，或者在室内带上太阳眼镜，下雨天穿棉衣，下雪天穿汗背心。为什么？不为什么！就是好玩儿，就是和这个世界开个玩笑。世界这么大，小小的左小祖咒式的玩笑还是可以接受的。

不知道什么时候开始，有个叫崔健的人变成了中国“摇滚乐”的“教父”。先不说中国的“摇滚界”是不是黑社会，崔健到把这个“教父”太当真了。把帽子当真了，总不是什么好玩的事。老崔也好玩儿过，他的“解决”现在还是我的最爱之一（最爱。。之一？）。大概是当了“教父”的原因吧，老崔也开始板着脸教训人了。叫大家都不要假唱还说的过去，在《给你一点颜色》里教育大家什么是红兰绿就过分了吧？！咱们中国人（用崔氏天津话说）不缺这个教育。还不如去写点“我的病就是没有感觉”。

这一篇就瞎扯一下音乐什么的吧。下次希望可以写点别的东西。好了，until next time, good bye!
