    小吃

    前两天无法登陆Space,修了几天的电插座和路由,现在总算可以无线上网了,速度还不错。
    还有很多很多东西要修。。。

    受Jet Lag影响,最近状态不是很好,基本上大半时间在想睡觉。
    每天还是尽量陪外婆进行恢复练习,她现在已经能左右脚抬腿走路了,不过周末还是差点出了点儿意外,还还是有惊无险

    周六去吃了护国寺小吃+簋街小龙虾,小吃自然很好吃,所以就每样都来了点儿,以奶油炸糕,爆肚,炸松肉,杏仁豆腐为主,加上后来去吃小龙虾,生最后给我弄吃不动了。这倒是近年来很少见的一次吃饱,当然跟时差可能也有些关系。

    周日早上去见了我妈一朋友和她儿子,跟他们侃了N久,我想应该是留下了不错的印象,算是圆满完成了我妈安排的任务。明天应该还有一个朋友要见,外加我爸安排的一件事。

    Gran Torino is a good movie

     

    Walt Kowalski: I confess that I have no desire to confess.

     

    Walt Kowalski: [to Father Janovich] The thing that haunts a guy is the stuff he wasn't ordered to do.

     

    Father Janovich: What are you gonna do, Walt?
    Walt Kowalski: Whatever it is, they won't have a chance.

     

    Walt Kowalski: [Walt is trying to "man" up Thao] Now go out and talk to him, and it ain't rocket science for christ sake.
    Thao Vang Lor: Yeah, but I don't have a job, a car, or a girlfriend.
    Barber Martin: Jesus. I shoulda blown his head off when I had the chance.
    Walt Kowalski: Yeah. Maybe so.






    Earned a chance to experience an awesome business suite, yea.

    再回北京

    这次是带着家里的重托回来的,要处理不少事情。
    只不过这回朋友给的帽子蛮合适的,自我感觉还挺不错。

    缩影

    路过小学前的小卖部,上面有字 “记忆有更岁”。呵呵,对一个,真情能几回?

    看了Gran Torino, 果然是好片,飞机上看了有3,4遍。看到最后我居然脸上笑着眼泪却冲了下眼眶,这感觉我估计也就7,8岁的时候看《离开雷锋的日子》有过。那种为了自己的信念和他人的安危牺牲自己的人物,用够男人来形容就肤浅了,因为回想看,一切都原自一个迟暮老人最后的希望,to pass the spirit onto next generation. 只有真正了解生死之区别的人才能那样坦然的面对死亡,并让自己的死给他人的生活带来永恒动力。

    Seven Pounds也不错,就是后面主角混得催惨了点儿,我就没看下去。

    因为家里要求我进行自愿隔离,我得以第一次住兆龙饭店,进门以后我脸上那表情就不形容了,因为这片刻的幸福是我自己打拼赚钱挣下来的,心里感觉不爽才怪。
    原先小时候就想一个人睡一张大床,因为不用担心会老把旁边的人给踹下去,现在终于如愿以偿。(不过因为忘了洗澡,现在又跳起来了)
    宾馆里的水全部都是按美元结算的价位,差不多是30元/500毫升矿泉水,太牛了,我第一感觉就是,水会不会在天堂也这么老贵呢?

    21th Century Breakdown



    21st century breakdown
    I once was lost but never was found
    I think I'm losing what's left of my mind
    to the 20th century deadline

    Dreaming
    I am only dreaming
    Of another place and time
    Where my family's from

    When you're at the end of the road
    And you lost all sense of control
    And your thoughts have taken their toll
    When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul

    Like a hero for the lost cause
    She's an endless war
    Like a hurricane
    In the heart of the devastation
    She's a natural disaster
    She's the last of the American girls

    Do you know what's worth fighting for
    When it's not worth dying for?
    Does it take you breath away
    And you feel yourself suffocating?
    Does the pain weight out the pride?
    And you look for a place to hide?
    Does someone break your heart inside?
    You're in ruins

    Dying
    Everyone's reminded
    Hearts are washed in misery
    Drenched in gasoline

    You are the moonlight of my life every night
    With every breath that I am worth
    Here on earth
    I'm sending all my love to you.
    So if you dare to second guess
    you can rest assured
    That all my love's for you


    I've go a really bad disease
    It's like an ulcer bleeding in my brain
    So I can lose my memory
    The scars on my hands and a means to an end
    It's all that I have to show
    I'm elated
    Medicated
    Lord knows I tried to find a way to run away
    You'd be surprised what I endure
    I never find a place to hide
    I feel like I've been crucified to be satisfied
    I'm a victim of my symptom
    I am my own worst enemy

    My beating heart belongs to you
    I walked for miles til I found you
    I'm here to honor you
    If I lose everything in the fire
    I'm sending all my love to you.

    My name is 'No one' your long lost son
    Born on the 4th of July
    Raised in the barnyards of heroes and cons
    Left me for dead or alive

    Did you try to live on your own
    When you burned down the house and home?
    Did you stand too close to the fire?
    Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone

    Laughter
    There is no more laugher
    Songs of yesterday
    Now live in the underground

    When it's time to live and let die
    And you can't get another try
    Something inside this heart has died
    You're in ruins

    One, 21 guns
    Lay down your arms
    Give up the fight
    One, 21 guns
    Throw up your arms into the sky
    You and I

    `~`

    Having a dream is what keeps you alive. Overcoming the challenges make life worth living.




    As one more success fades into the past, to the present it is only one more obstacle to overcome. 
    "Improvise, adapt to the environment, Darwin, shit happens, I Ching, whatever man, we gotta roll with it."
    There has been some good days, but I want to make them even better as long as the fire remains.
    Time is going so slow.
    On the window of car, my hands can still feel the tip of trees and edge of sky.
    Some familiar feelings with the clouds still linger here.
    We are intrepid.
    We carry on.




       

    やせがまんばかりで
    もう半年過ぎたが
    何が変わったか 誰を愛したか
    頭の中で今夢がくずれだした
    何とかなれ

    やぶれかぶればかりで
    もう半年過ぎたが
    何が変わったか 誰を愛せたか
    頭の中で今夢がくずれだした
    何とかなれ 何とかなれ……

    Nothing but false stoicism,
    Half a year passed by already.
    What has changed? Who did you love?
    Now the dreams inside my head have started crumbling,
    Somehow I'll be fine.

    Nothing but self-abandonment,
    Half a year passed by already.
    What has changed? Who could you love?
    Now the dreams inside my head have started crumbling,
    Somehow I'll be fine, Somehow I'll be fine...

    Freedom

    Just another day in the paradise...with my restless heart.
     
    忙到自然睡,想到自然醒,看来又会是忙碌的一周。
     
    上了NG主页,评分4.11/5.00,表现相当不错,算是没辜负那么多人的支持
    妈来电话说很高兴看到我的成绩,说很好奇有关我的世界。她觉得只要在网上,我永远都是自由的。
    我的确可以做很多事,用虚幻的力量影响我生活中的现实,但网络并不给任何人更多的自由,那些成百上千的popularity只不过是幻觉罢了,真正的自由跟现实中一样,只有赢得人心的人,才能获得真正的自由。
    还记得Gladiator里的话,Men, what we do in life, echoes in eternity!

    Anticipating Utada's This is the one album. The video is really not that good but some parts of the song ring a bell in my head.

    Never Die

    The geeks never die, they are only sleeping on the way...
    4/11/2009

    Break...or...away

    来是偶然的,走是必然的。所以你必须,随缘不变,不变随缘


    Break or away, it is not up for me to say.

    早上11点~晚上11点。现在好像是3点15分。

    今天晚上11:33分(刚过),我有一个比较重要的Project 发布。为了这个东西算是折腾了一个热血沸腾,光自己测试的次数就达到了。。。据不完全统计,255次。这还只是单一个机器,两个合一起得有快500次测试了。结果出来的效果还不错, 基本上达到预期,光初期发布的吸引力就让一哥们差点pull了all nighter。 这次的东东无论是在设计还是细节处理上都下了很大的功夫,除错和后期整理编辑更是超过了我预先计划的工作量。整个流程耗时大概是3个月,可以说是我第一次花这么大精力做一件事情。一直以来我的办事风格都属于死不死一瞪眼那一流的,只有这次很无奈地融合了各方意见,终于搞定了这个特别洁癖幼稚暴力好玩的东西。

    私下想来,8年前的那个男孩儿,也许会对今天所发生的一切感到一丝欣慰的。不过革命还尚未成功,因为光报错留言都收到了快10条了。。。还有很多工作要做。

    然而,像所有心还没被冻上的白痴一样,我做了一件特别孩子气的事情:我在深沉的凌晨2点多,抄起电话,毅然选择给老妈打了一个电话。这个电话不打不要紧,一打了就跟拉机关给自己头上浇一桶冷水似的。不过话说回来,这年头祖国的花朵估计都是在冷水中茁壮成长的,我连想都没想就忍了。

    老妈祝贺我的话我好像是没听着,但我听说她又在忙里偷闲地给我张罗一个一整个暑假的internship和活动,我想估计还是会在一些跟我八杆子打不着的地方,跟一群我以为我不会认识的人,做一些我想都没想过的事情。我听着想着,觉得,如果一个人走到一个莫名其妙的地方,自己对着自己装聪明难道就不会累吗?我想着听着,结果没到一分钟我就想挂电话了,实在是我自讨无趣。如果一个人所做的事,无论有多好,不光要时常承受旁人的点拨和非议,还永远不能被他身边的人所认可,那这个人的快乐岂不成了无形资产?可认可只能顺其自然,非三言两拍即可改变。面对这个问题,我感到无奈,但也无可奈何。要是往好处想呢,就未来而言,我妈的安排也未必就是件大大的坏事,只不过我今天要的明天跟她昨天要的今天不是一码事而已。Party

    Splash

    As time breezes by the tips of my fingers, splash is the only impression I can see in my head.
    Ripples after ripples, the waves have come into shape. But I'm sick.

    Sick with allergy, lack of energy, quite a damn bad week. But some good results.
    Several plans and decisions...but little I am feeling like to share.

    Friday the 13th

    Was quite a day.

     

    As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of life is to kindle a light of meaning in the darkness of mere being.
    --C.G Jung
    Memories, Dreams, Reflections.

    13th on Friday, March, 2009, HCAHCSROR's journal

    Get up. Only 5 am. No good feeling. Missing something. Check on the last class's schedule. Bad news. Have a test in the morning at 10 a.m. Unprepared. Only 5 hours left. Urgent action required. Must have a plan.
    Forget about the shower, print out all materials needed, enter hardcore study mode.
    About 6 am, completed 27 review questions, good to go with notes.
    7 am, breakfast. 7:20, student center printing.
    8 am, can't focus, too tired, need sleep.
    9:45 am, get up, need to find the testing room.
    10:00 am. Test, 25 questions, no answers yet.
    11 am, finished the test, was good, can leave now.

    Life's well for a while.

    In the streets, all these people stood in rows, living under one giant scoreboard. Is that what's happening to us? A life with no time for living, so that's when it's all over, only your degree and money mark your path.This world does not worship true justice and love but success and strength. Something in our human nature, perhaps? Some instinct that drives us to mingle with a colorful moral spectrum and masks our true colors. Unimportant. What we do defines what we are. Good life. Everybody moves on.

    Falls into asleep about 3pm. Got hit up at 4:10pm. Tired. Must go to BoA, serious and urgent business. Arrive at 5:15pm, good timing. Wrong person at service, said she can't do it today, must be Monday. Rules and dogma. Stupid. Have to go. Must go quickly, must get back before 6 to make it to the dinner. Legs tired, exhausting, pains inside, no choice. Must keep promises, even in the face of Armageddon, never quit.

    7 pm, leaving for dinner. Friend's car got hijacked open. One broken window, lost one jacket and three gameboy games, first witnessed at 15:50 Thursday the 12th. Get him a phone and urge him to call the police dept immediately. Friend heistates, want out and eat first. No, never compromise in the face of crime, must settle this now.

    8:35pm, everything is fine now, let's go.

    The dinner is Thai food, super nice sauce and healthy diet, very good one.

    10 pm, get back to the dorm. Friend wants to watch Dark Knight, so be it done.

    Uncounsciously falls asleep. Wake up, already 11 am next morning.

    Watchmen




    Newsvendor: I see the world didn't end yesterday.
    Rorschach: Are you sure?

    Dan Dreiberg: But the country’s disintegrating. What’s happened to America? What’s happened to the American dream?
    Edward Blake: It came true. You're looking at it.

    Rorschach's Journal: Is that what happens to us? A life of conflict with no time for friends, so that when it's done, only our enemies leave roses.

    Rorschach's Journal: There is good and there is evil, and evil must be punished. Even in the face of Armageddon I shall not compromise in this.

    Adrian Veidt: I did the right thing, didn't I? It all worked out in the end.
    Dr. Manhattan: 'In the end'? Nothing ends, Adrian. Nothing ever ends.

    Rorschach: Used to come here often, back when we were partners.
    Dan Dreiberg: Oh. Uh, yeah... yeah, those were great times, Rorschach. Great times. Whatever happened to them?
    Rorschach: You quit.

    Rorschach: [reading from journal] Rorschach's Journal: November 12th 1985. Dog carcass in alley this morning, tire tread on burst stomach. This city is afraid of me. I have seen its true face. The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout 'Save us!' And I'll whisper 'no'.

    Dan: Rorschach...? Rorschach, wait! Where are you going? This is too big to be hard-assed about! We have to compromise!
    Rorschach: No, never compromise. Not even in the face of Armageddon. That's always been the difference between us, Dan.

    Adrian Veidt: It doesn't take a genius to see the world has problems.
    Edward Blake: No, but it takes a room full of morons to think they're small enough for them to handle.

    Rorschach: [to prisoners] I'm not locked in here with you! You're locked in here with ME!

    Dan Dreiberg: If he's pretending, that means he cares.

    Edward Blake: God damn I love working on American soil, Dan. Ain't had this much fun since Woodward and Bernstein. Congress is pushing through some new bill that's gonna outlaw masks. Our days are numbered. Till then it's like you always say, we're society's only protection.
    Dan Dreiberg: From what?
    Edward Blake: You kidding me? From themselves.

    Rorschach: Stood in firelight, sweltering. Bloodstain on chest like map of violent new continent. Felt cleansed. Felt dark planet turn under my feet and knew what cats know that makes them scream like babies in night.
    Looked at sky through smoke heavy with human fat and God was not there. The cold, suffocating dark goes on forever and we are alone. Live our lives, lacking anything better to do. Devise reason later. Born from oblivion; bear children, hell-bound as ourselves, go into oblivion. There is nothing else.
    Existence is random. Has no pattern save what we imagine after staring at it for too long. No meaning save what we choose to impose. This rudderless world is not shaped by vague metaphysical forces. It is not God who kills the children. Not fate that butchers them or destiny that feeds them to the dogs. Itâs us. Only us. Streets stank of fire. The void breathed hard on my heart, turning its illusions to ice, shattering them. Was reborn then, free to scrawl own design on this morally blank world.
    Was Rorschach.

    Keep



    We must make the best of those ills which cannot be avoided.

    In a life where love is an impossible task and courage is my only guidance. Hope is myself. Love is myself. Happiness, is also myself. There is no shelter out there for a boy wandering alone. He can only move forward, take what he needs and leaves with a smile. It almost sounds meaningless, but as with the love of all things, the meaning is only known to the beholder. Hardships, failures, rejections are not the worst of woes, but a heart in distress and fear is the darkest sight of its all. It leads to the doom of hope without even a flick of evil--- all but a wonderful past, has gone into a thread of light.

    ./|\.


    We're intrepid.
    We carry on.

    Apparently sometimes it is better off not making much sense than making sense of it all. When people think they understand, they often misunderstand, which is sometimes even worse than not knowing at all.

    When present is going to be certain past, and all the past was going for a better future, a life growing out without much stake in the present will amount to scarce of anything for its own sake, but it is worth all the trying for things well beyond the average comprehension of value.

    Like any other good puzzles that require intricate, clever, and unconventional solutions, the most complex dilemmas in life want the same. There's often no Eureka answer to any one of them when emotions and bonds are also at play. With those things one cannot manipulate, nature will always have its ways. But if one decides to manipulate it all, karma will almost certainly take its course as well. The game can only be won temporarily and time is running out before it even begins. Timing is the key.

    Those who fight will earn a chance to have what they want. Those who give up will only get what they deserve. For happiness and all else that matters with it, there's no other choice but to take a ride with destiny and carry on with time.

    Here is, to a hopeless cause! and to an almost certain failure! whatever shall be will be! Have it, destiny! Have it all and we will see!

    Phew...


    2/11/2009

    All you need is luck?

     
    Boy
    Lady, by yonder blessed moon I swear
    That tips with silver all these fruit-tree tops--
    Girl
    O, swear not by the moon, the inconstant moon,
    That monthly changes in her circled orb,
    Lest that thy love prove likewise variable.
    Boy
    What shall I swear by?
    Girl
    Do not swear at all;
    Or, if thou wilt, swear by thy gracious self,
    Which is the god of my idolatry,
    And I'll believe thee.
    Boy
    If my heart's dear love--
    Girl
    Well, do not swear: although I joy in thee,
    I have no joy of this contract to-night:
    It is too rash, too unadvised, too sudden;
    Too like the lightning, which doth cease to be
    Ere one can say 'It lightens.' Sweet, good night!
    This bud of love, by summer's ripening breath,
    May prove a beauteous flower when next we meet.
    Good night, good night! as sweet repose and rest
    Come to thy heart as that within my breast!
    Boy
    O, wilt thou leave me so unsatisfied?
    Girl
    What satisfaction canst thou have to-night?
    Boy
    The exchange of thy love's faithful vow for mine.
    Girl
    I gave thee mine before thou didst request it:
    And yet I would it were to give again.
    Boy
    Wouldst thou withdraw it? for what purpose, love?
    Girl
    But to be frank, and give it thee again.
    And yet I wish but for the thing I have:
    My bounty is as boundless as the sea,
    My love as deep; the more I give to thee,
    The more I have, for both are infinite.

    Busiest Days

    Sleeping becomes the most tangible part.

    Blessings

    Blessings are not just for the ones who kneel... luckily



    The more you see the less you know
    The less you find out as you go
    I knew much more than I do now

    Time...time...time...time...time
    Won't leave me as I am
    But time won't take the boy out of this man

    The more you know the less you feel
    Some pray for others steal

    Blessings are not just for the ones who kneel... luckily
