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

台北心情

再去台北,其實只是湊高興和探朋友。去之前,想起過往的四次,心情大不同,人的變化就更大了。

第一次是八八年,還很年輕呀,在唱片公司做事的一群女孩自遊行的去。住那裡都忘了,只記得在酒店的電視上看到如生物課畫面的黃色電影,之後誰也不敢踫那電視,怕不留神又轉到那個春宮台。那時又流行吃石頭火鍋,吃過後全體即長豆豆,可見當年青春。那是個無牽掛的年代,同行的人也是生命中某一個階段的同行者,都沒有保留下來的友誼。

第二次,鏡頭一轉,已是2000年,六月,還在加拿大住。現在想起,那時的台北是灰黑色的,整天在下雨,住朋友家 ,睡在床上關了燈,整晚就是轟烈嘈吵的雨。那次去台北沒有做過什麼,大概是想抓著一些接近溫哥華的感覺,和好友能提供的安全感。那時眼睛看不清,耳朵聽不好,台北像夜間拍移動著的曝光照,有很多顏色,但沒焦點。

第三次,2002年,朋友生了小孩。我留意著他們的變化,那是我很熟悉的過程了,之後他們都會變成另一種人,大多是快樂穩定的人。那次我開始見到現在的台北。那時還未去北京,只覺得是一個跟香港差不多,表面是中國人地方的地方。(去過北京後,才覺得見到真正的中國,之前只是以為見過而已)。晚上坐在摩托車後出去,在台北街上吹風看景,心清明了,景像仍然糢糊。

第四次,專程去看表坊的「如夢之夢」,劇團出門票,我出機票。這一次我最像樣,人和心都到了。演出叫人有點失望,看技術,叫人感嘆錢在藝術上的莫大影響力,但部份的視覺影像,經過再創作,比在香港的製作可觀。但這次的小屋咖啡、清粥小菜、油桐花、山上的茶店、北岸海邊,坐在好友駕駛的車子的安定感覺,都很清晰。

第五次去,會甚樣?
