書「痴」
哄過小孩上床的人都知道,睡前儀式絕對不可隨便更改,床邊故事固定就是那幾套,述敘的方式、語氣都神聖不可侵犯,誰人敢隨便敷衍,包準鬧到半夜不得安寧。
雖然小時候的床邊時光已經久遠到模糊不清,現在的我依然停留在幼兒水準,每天固定要看爛熟的老故事。那些熟到倒背如流的故事,讓人有一種安心感,讀上幾頁即可放鬆的自然入眠。阿嘉莎(Agatha Christie)的老派偵探故事是我最佳的睡前書。
昨天不知怎麼反症,找了一本麥可班恩(Ed McBain)的87分局(87th Precinct)來看,好死不死,竟然忘了故事結局,於是很興奮的從頭讀到尾,然後無比清醒的鬧了一夜失眠。真是慘啊!
許多人認為推理小說不值得購買,想看就去借去租,真相大白後,誰還有興趣再看一遍,用買的不是太不上算?但是像我這樣搞了一櫃子書又記性超爛的人,舊書重讀,有時候還是很新鮮刺激。
能夠溫故而知新,這算是好的一面,糟糕的一面是,當我在網路書店逛來逛去時,常常在頭腦不清楚兼手滑的狀況下,又重覆購買相同的書。前陣子將書房大肆整理一番,才發現自己有好幾本書買了兩遍,當下真是哭笑不得啊。
讀過的故事忘記結局,買過的書再買一次,這麼說來,我也算是某種異類的書「痴」啊!

Power to the People
給2011年:
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people, right on
Say you want a revolution
We better get on right away
Well you get on your feet
And out on the street
Singing power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people, right on
A million workers working for nothing
You better give 'em what they really own
We got to put you down
When we come into town
Singing power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people, right on
I gotta ask you comrades and brothers
How do you treat you own woman back home
She got to be herself
So she can free herself
Singing power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people, right on
Now, now, now, now
Oh well, power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people, right on
Yeah, power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people, right on
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people, right on

Power to the people, right on
Say you want a revolution
We better get on right away
Well you get on your feet
And out on the street
Singing power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people, right on
A million workers working for nothing
You better give 'em what they really own
We got to put you down
When we come into town
Singing power to the people
Power to the people

Power to the people, right on
I gotta ask you comrades and brothers
How do you treat you own woman back home
She got to be herself
So she can free herself
Singing power to the people

作夢一下
跟許多人一樣,我也常作白日夢,例如:假如我有用不盡的金錢,我要~~~~巴拉巴拉。
所以----如果我有很多很多錢,用不盡的錢,我要買下CSI裡所有的玩具以及所有的DATABASE,當然,驗屍間裡的那一套就不用了。

作一個不可能的夢
紙風車三一九鄉村兒童藝術工程經過5年多的奔波巡演,終於,12/3在萬里鄉完成了最後一個足跡。
許多人對於這個近似唐吉詞德般,挑戰不可能任務的壯舉,不吝給予最熱烈的掌聲。
在此獻上The Impossible Dream,人因有夢而為人。
To dream the impossible dream To fight the unbeatable foe To bear with unbearable sorrow To run where the brave dare not go
To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star
This is my quest
To follow that star
No matter how hopeless
No matter how far
To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march into Hell
For a heavenly cause
And I know if I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest
And the world will be better for this
That one man, scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star
