_**RESIGNATION**_ I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult. I have decided I would like to accept the responsibilities of an 8 year-old again. I want to go to McDonald's and think that it's a four star restaurant. I want to sail sticks across a fresh mud puddle and make a sidewalk with rocks. I want to think M&Ms are better than money because you can eat them. I want to lie under a big oak tree and run a lemonade stand with my friends on a hot summer's day. I want to return to a time when life was simple; When all you knew were colors, multiplication tables, and nursery rhymes, but that didn't bother you, because you didn't know what you didn't know and you didn't care. All you knew was to be happy because you were blissfully unaware of all the things that should make you worried or upset. I want to think the world is fair. That everyone is honest and good. I want to believe that anything is possible. I want to be oblivious to the complexities of life and be overly excited by the little things again. I want to live simple again. I don't want my day to consist of computer crashes,mountains of paperwork, depressing news, how to survive more days in the month than there is money in the bank, doctor bills, gossip, illness, and loss of loved ones. I want to believe in the power of smiles, hugs, a kind word, truth, justice, peace, dreams, the imagination, mankind, and making angels in the snow. So . . . here's my checkbook and my car-keys, my credit card bills and my RRSP statements. I am officially resigning from adulthood. And if you want to discuss this further, you'll have to catch me first, cause........ ......"Tag! You're it." Remember the Simple things in Life. ((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))

關淑怡的煙頭

好人好事未必是新的。關淑怡復出應該是對梅艷芳離去後至今仍隱隱傷心的人的一點點補償。縱使有人認為她過時。

關的糜爛頹廢蒼茫感總有自家的吸引力,她唱功不是一級,樣子不親切,個性更不活潑熱情,但她非常形,擁有獨家的個人魅力。她淡出時香港正開始下沉,機緣巧合,現在一起振作起來。

幾年前看到她在「春光乍洩」中完全被剪掉的片斷,片中的她在遊的士河,配上拉丁味道歌一首,人大半身在的士窗外張望,風吹得頭髮亂飛,不停抽煙,然後有一個鏡頭,瘦瘦的手一揚,手指一彈,煙頭飛舞暗暗路上,紅亮的一點火撲向觀眾。不知甚的,這片段看了又看,非常觸動某些潛藏著又說不出是什麼的記憶。

希望她的生命力要比梅艷芳強很多很多。

各位觀眾…廿四條煙




這世上惟一一種李毓菁唔會要人戒的煙,唔會做成二手煙,雖然唔吸得,但可以行埋d蹈下光–呢兩打煙係我個契仔的私煙。 (click to see bigger image)

Three Times 最好的時光




This is a very good movie...三段故事,三種味道,都好看。幸運的舒淇,演得好也令人看得舒服。

她拿金馬獎影后,當然有一部份是運氣,因為沒有強至不可抵擋的對手,但她的努力同樣令人信服,起碼在三個角色中,看到她明顯的用身體和動作節奏來演。她有技巧,而電影平排把三個大幅度迴異的角色讓觀眾一次看到,presentation 已贏了分。

馬英九‧六四‧統一

看新聞,訪問馬英九(他現是國民黨主席兼台北市市長),他重複說他幾個月前當選黨主席後說過的話,好似對聯咁:六四不平反‧統一不能談。

真的感動到想流眼淚。不看背景動機政治目的,他說這話時的語氣態度如此理所當然不慍不火,就像說煮飯要加水一般,也真夠令人感動。他還說這是涉及兩岸三地必要同步的價值觀,要統一,這價值觀非常重要。

就算這是他贏票贏人心的政客手段,仍有一線希望佢係講真的。起碼比香港一班政客甚至是民主黨有損市容的蠢相好看

等‧出‧門‧口



放假,所有東西事情勞累工作柴米油鹽冬瓜豆腐電費水費都要放下,換來很多時間什麼都不做不急不忙不趕,再剩下很多時間…可以等…例如等‧出‧門‧口。

等的時候就擔天望地,就想在這兒等,總比在香港的灰塵人潮噪音車龍廣告海中等好吧。有咁好的條件等環境舒適藍天白雲海闊天空等,講真,冇所謂。

睡寶


今年Live8其中一場音樂會在Barrie舉行。那是個在Toronto附近非非常常加拿大的小地方。但因為Live8,確實出了一陣子風頭。

在這附近的湖邊看見這幾位單車遊客,四個人四輛單車,難得還有嬌豔粉紅色cushion一個,就這樣,累嘛!便睡了,都幾痛快,又有形。他們是認真的倒頭大睡,簡直不知人間何世。我在他們旁,又影相,又走來走去呢幾個小朋友郁都未郁過。

現在想起,其實我應該考慮報警。

但可能會比人識穿--我只是妒忌人家有覺好訓。
