_**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))))))))))))))

抽煙


說起雪夜抽煙聽到雪聲,前幾天恬也提起煙的種種事…其實她不是提起這麼簡單啦,是寫了篇有關抽煙一百件事的長文

在溫哥華有太多抽煙的事,例如那裡空氣乾躁,煙燃燒著常會聽到聲音。另外是有些地方,坐在裡邊抽煙差不多是指定動作。SoHo是其中一個這樣的地方,後來禁止室內吸煙,老闆會給我們一個小碟當煙灰缸,煙,還是一樣抽,反正不由他提供便不會有麻煩。

在香港,也有一個差不多的去處,叫Barco,有舒服的大sofa可以翹起腳坐著抽煙喝酒,只是店非常狹小,煙會久久不散,坐久了會受不了。在北京,是三里屯差不多在最尾那邊一個綠蔭園林式的酒吧;澳門是一個落泊的意大利人開的小店;紐約、多倫多、三藩市、歐洲都太多太雜太亂…無論如何統統都不及一個景觀開揚,有大窗,大sofa,open bar 和空氣流通的家。

我對牌子,煙灰缸都不念舊,只對火機有感情。我最喜歡的火機,現在都不在身邊,應該是靜靜的在幾個不同的城市的箱子裡,等待我回去。

這一刻,很想念它們。
