Ashes to Ashes

人們的勇氣，最多可以帶領靈魂，到多遠的彼岸？

捕捉著他人目光的夜光玉，是否真的成了平凡的大理石？

但這一切的疑問，都隨著斷然的休止符，而劃上了冷如凍土的終止。

是最美的落幕，還是最黯淡的收尾？

新的疑問，卻又這樣浮現於心中。

說來諷刺，生命中那麼多令人渴望的可能，實現的希望卻又都那麼地飄渺。

故言，攀登高峰者，都有失足落崖的風險。

然而真是如此嗎？

你真的是因為雙足的長度未及峰間的距離，而墜落到雲層之下的嗎？

若歷史的軌跡吻合著最理想的事實，則烈士般的緬懷就會是縈耳不散的鎮魂歌。

否則，遺憾將成為唯一追悼的儀式。

不忍苛責乃鄉民的愚善！

請原諒這等殘酷。

只因闖入黑暗者，已步入智慧所無法統轄的領域。

而勇氣，是僅能憑藉的支柱。

Sorrow

我冀望著上墳
卻不知墓塚的方向

遲來的驛馬
總趕不上時光的蹉跎

於是就這樣離去了
那帶著點灰色浪漫的旅人
就在那兩次征戰的起點

也許　是我們也許該思考的命題
若然更原始的旋律並非如此
那麼也許
此刻的詠歎將是另一種境地

旅人啊，旅人！
你步履的方向是否為西？
所帶走的　是否真是你的孤獨？
你是成了吳爾芙的奧蘭多？
抑或是艾德琳她本身？

而留在此地的
是只能向四方揮灑煙嵐的我們

寂靜掌握住秋空
是因為我們的無語

就以此沈默來道別吧！
畢竟　那是個無法相送的彼岸

戰場乃體驗生命之絕對

Behold the mass of goatherds!
School is the name of their so-called education.
Projects they have in such schools, and they claim it to be useful.
But how does one define reality without the truthful life and death of battlefields?
Without that scent of danger, that constant pressure upon their souls, human eyes tend to grow dull and lose their acuity.
Elites they believe they are, but frogs in wells they actually are, in the eyes of the truely enlightened.

For The Shrimp Queen!!

今天在敝山寨見識到什麼叫明星魅力，起因是由於某支部吹起了強烈的海老風，不論男女全都拜倒在蝦子女王的魅力之下。
不過，重點並不在海老也不在蝦子，而是在於諧音真的是一種好用的語言技巧。
一個單純的「Ebihara Yuri 蛯原友里」竟然可以因為「Ebi」的音，而演變成可愛逗趣的「エビちゃん」暱稱。
可惜這種諧音用法多出現在拼音文字的字彙中，實在不是字音嚴謹的華語所能擁有的詼諧。
這也使得以華語為基礎的文化，缺乏了本質的變通與幽默特性。
本次胡言亂語到此結束，文首為「エビちゃん」的照片一枚。

假道學

Hypocrisy, thy follower is the ethic preaching law-makers!
For the common good they say.
But what good is there in denying what comes from our very nature?
Yes, the beast in us may be a danger to our very existence.
But locking it up and throwing the key away will not make it go away.
For this beast within us, the reason why it is the most terrible of all beasts.
Is because it does not tire of struggling against it's chains, it does not weaken because of lack of food, and it never ever gives up what it craves.
It is all too natural for men to become monsters in the dead of the night.
Because they, in their cowardice to face their own dark face, have bred a terror so storng within them, that even the slightest loose of grip, will mean havoc for their so-called sanity.
It is only by confronting that beast within us, may we have any chance of overcoming it.
Though we may be too weak and we may go down in the malice of it's fangs and claws.
But this is the path that we must choose, if we are to be free even within ourselves.
So do not simply ban what they call "morally-incorrect".
Rather, understand it instead.
Understand it, and you will find that you will never be it's slave.

人生總要有新嘗試

Saw this new cocktail drink in the Hi-life around the bend.
Went down pretty smooth, with mild alchohol effects.
Though kegging down three to four cans in a row would prove to be slightly hazardous.

World Cup

踢球！

Been a while

真的很久了
不過就這樣吧
最近醞釀的不少
所以就先這樣吧

沒有完美 唯有極致

Perfection is a dream.
What is perfect on one side, is inevitably dented on another.
For example, the most beatiful tree is the most ultimate killer.
What is good for some is poison for others.
Thus we know that what we crave is not perfection, but rather acme.
And while some summits are higher than others.
They are still totally different and thus totally incomparable.

Masters in conversation

兩個小時又二十一分鐘前，由於失去了第一駐足點，因此轉戰雪可屋旁邊的挪威森林。
不出所料地，不同的環境就是會吸引不同的客層。
這裡沒有沒有大量的外來人口與搔首弄姿的聖誕樹，有的只是穿著得體卻不過份華麗，且臉龐帶有多種足以玩味神情的人們。
就如同坐在隔壁桌的兩位中年男子，從坐下來的瞬間就不小心聽到了他們口中所探討的劇場藝術。而後雖然專心地料理著第48與第49號夫嚕，然而他們那從如何充分發聲卻不會踏入過份做作的技巧延伸到劇場環境結構的討論，卻依然會在奮戰與奮戰的間隙傳入聽覺的意識之中。
那是種令人懷念的感覺，在數年前的時光中，身邊聽到此種對話曾經是每日的常規。
也許，它真的是個封閉的象牙塔。
但象牙塔之所以為象牙塔，不正是因為這種無可挑剔的白潔光輝嗎？

Kim's New Toy

前幾天同事買了個新模型
一騎擋千的關羽雲長
想說就試試看前同事說的簡易攝影棚拍攝法
效果上還算不錯
不過因為模型大了點
所以無法用一張A4紙涵蓋整個背面

這次竟然是同一天連發兩片

The company that's publishing Samurai 7 must really be out of their minds, throwing two DVDs of the series into the market in the same month for the second time like that.
Most anime buyers really don't have that kind of money to through around.

Trust not the medieval minded officer

今孤為理財事親臨郵局。
因帛輕，故取快速窗口。
孤前一男子，疑為交通裁決苦主。
然，其所備之金未足，故問行員曰：「警告吾以六百，何以為九百。」
行員故答：「警皆如是說，是以避被譙。前有一男，警亦告之以六百。然電腦資料卻為一千八，是以無言。」
苦主無奈，多取三百以付，悻悻然而去。
孤不語，然思之。
警者，本應民之保母。
何以成省之豪取巧奪之器？
此行何異於古之衙役，此省何異於古之暴政？
吏者當誠信而無誠信，民自多詐者。
警者無膽，何以抗罪？
是故，省亡非無理！

自掃門前雪何辜之有？

Sometimes, sweeping one's own snow isn't all that bad.
If the neighbors won't get rid of the frost on their roof.
Then they won't!
Giving a beggar one million isn't going to get him off the streets for good.
For when he squanders it all, and believe me he will, he'll just simply return to the beggar that he is.
So if you can't change the nature of something.
DON'T DO ANYTHING AT ALL!
Because all that charity, all that good intent, will just make the wounds hurt even more when it ends.

Putting the past to rest

人生在世
正如同編號20的塔羅牌「審判」所言
遲早都需要與自己的過往做一個了斷
因此右手臂上的紋印
正是某日需要掘開的墓穴

Last Week's Famitsu

真沒想到這麼快就上雜誌了
好吧，公開了
就是這樣
說壓力不大是騙人的
畢竟又是個缺人缺時間的狀態
不過....話說回來
誰不是這樣呢？
資源永遠都是有限的
這也許就是這個業界必然的現象吧？

Who would have guessed

這是一杯名為「赤眼」的調酒
主成分是蕃茄汁跟啤酒
老實說這兩種材料單獨啜飲的時候
對我的吸引力都不算是十分鮮明
但當兩者混和的瞬間
那種奇特的味覺組合
卻令我十分流連忘返
雖不能稱之為人間美味
但卻也十足暢快

獵瘋了

I really must say this again.
Monster Hunter Portable is just totally AWESOME!!
Sorry, can't talk right now, got to go HUNTING!!

峱種

I don't get it.
I really don't.
What are these people afraid of?
It's their own fault that they can't educate their kids how to properly face the cruelty of society.
Why blame it on others?
It's the same thing with other "taboos" that have been proclaimed throughout the years.
LIFE ITSELF IS VICIOUS TO BEGIN WITH!
The highest tree is the most ultimate killer, that is the most undeniable truth that we must understand.
For it is by nature that we seek the power to mandate havoc.
The question that should be asked is, "How do we let ourselves know how far is too far?"
Rather than, "How do we hide this under our bed?"

Hunting season is on

剛才聽到令人振奮的消息
聽說期待已久的蒙夯丕
要偷跑啦！！！！
狩獵季開跑！長槍獵人再現！！

嗚，對不起.......
我好像太激動了。
