You will be there when I believe
Will You Be There
Michael Jackson
Hold me
Like the River Jordan
And I will then say to thee
You are my friendCarry me
Like you are my brother
Love me like a mother
Will you be there?
....When weary
Tell me will you hold me
When wrong will you scold me
When lost would you find meBut they told me
A man should be faithful
And walk when not able
And fight till the end
But I'm only human
...
I like this song—Will You Be There—very much. It often moved me. This time while I listen to this music feelingly, read its lyric line by line and write them so carefully down, it affects me much more and touches my heart deeply, even to tears inside.
Something made me sad these days, cuz I am such a foolish and stupid man.
It depresses me that I even don't know how to do, and how to face.
Although I don't know why, I really don't want to know the hearts of men now.
It means not so much to me.
Cry if you want to, don't pretend to be ok.
You are only human.
I don't want to say something is right or wrong, which means nothing.
I don't want to build myself up by making others wrong, which also means nothing.
However, I believe I can face to everything, even if nothing is right.
Whatever happens, I believe something, like the song When You Believe (Whitney Houston & Mariah Carey) sings:
There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
Hold me, like the River Jordan.
Carry me, like you are my brother.
Love me, like a mother.
...
When I believe, you will be there. I think.
二零零七
总觉得自己过得不是线性的人生,对以往的事情极少有实质性的(practical)的记忆,更多的只存留一种感觉(sense)。对于以往事情,很难清晰地回忆起。不过,在看了不少人写的总结,我也来写一篇吧,想起什么就写什么吧。
上半年有什么了。嗯,年初买了一台现在还再用的19寸宽屏,4、5月份给自己配了台PC。还参加了Freescale杯智能车竞赛。不过除了最后十几天里,认真为小车写了几天程序,就没怎么贡献自己的力量了。真为同队的成员感到抱歉。还有什么了,感觉就是天天上网,看书吧,好像就没了。时间就是如此荒废的,虽然我总是在不断地尝试逃脱束缚我的一种力量,但总显无能为力,以至精疲力尽。
不过,在所看的书中,德波顿所著的《旅行的艺术》一书,却是今年里对我影响最大的一本。也因为这本书,而喜欢上了这位英伦才子,继而现在仍在阅读他的另外一本著作《身份焦虑》。
比赛结束之后,是夏天,挺喜欢的一个季节。租了房子,算是独自居住(跟合租的没有交集),感觉这段时间过了很不错,也很满意。一般白天看书(有段时间,特别喜欢午觉睡醒后看书),或学习一些计算机知识(C,数据结构之类),下午4点之后一般都和同学或独自一人地在学校游泳池游泳。晚上,一般看电影、看动漫(记得当时,蜡笔小新的确吸引了我,四五百的剧集够长,而且又不让人那么无聊),以及尝试做一些更有意义的事情,如编程之类的。
到9月份之后,换了房子,新合租的伙伴很好,其他有什么就没什么印象了。之后就是实习吧,9,10月份的时间。这段时间,特别地迷上了安妮宝贝的书,除了她的第一本小说,其他的都看了。挺认真地,喜欢睡觉前在台灯下保持清醒大脑时看。还记得,这个月保持早睡早起了很长一段时间,感觉很好。
也是10月份的时候,不想考研了,考研准备让我痛苦而无法忍受,即使考上了也不知道干什么。嗯,这段时间到是挺creative的,给自己写了一个站点(就这个),也认真地研究了linux,c等。能有些stuffs让自己专心地focus on是很不错的。记得这段时间里,常常觉得晚上到操场跑几圈是一件令人愉悦以及inspired的事情。
今年里看了不少日本动漫。日本动漫为什么做得这么好了,有一些让人喜欢不已。情不自禁地让人感动,让人心神缠绕纠结。比如《基诺之旅》、《灰羽联盟》,宫崎骏的一些作品如《龙猫》等等,还有很多很多,一时到想不起名字来。
对了,下半年还认真看了《Friends》剧集,直到现在仍在看第9季。Chandler, Ross, Monica, Joey, Rachel, Phoebe给我带来了不少笑料。
再就到了现在,没什么好写的了。天天,生活很混乱的,脑子也很混乱。All are messed up! 不想成为牢骚日志,想想写写就算了。很喜欢MJ的《man in the mirror》,其中有一句是这样的:If you wanna make the world a better place, take a look at yourself, and then make a change.
乐曲、歌、词等
今天,给这个站点嵌入了一首乐曲(played at nighttime),是安妮宝贝博客上的歌,挺喜欢的。虽然很反感网页里带有音乐,但这首曲子有很安宁的感觉,特别是寂静的时候,也就不顾了。
特别地喜欢上了一首歌,Michael Jackson的《生日快乐,丽莎》(Happy Birthday Lisa)。听了许多遍,也跟着唱了许多遍。这首歌,最先出现于《辛普森家庭》动画片的《刻板疯爸》一集,在动画里MJ客串了一个角色,但只是配音,歌是另 外一位歌手模仿唱的(来自MJJCN)。不过,后来也有了MJ的真声版,也就是我现在所听的。虽然只有1分37秒,歌词也就几句话,但就是觉得好听。很喜欢里面的调子,一遍一遍地跟着哼唱而不厌。
这里是下载:Happy Birthday, Lisa,下面是歌词:
Happy birthday, Lisa
Michael Jackson
Lisa, it's your birthday.
God bless you this day.
You gave me the gift of a little sister,
And I'm proud of you today.
Lisa, it's your birthday.
Happy birthday, Lisa.
Lisa, it's your birthday.
Happy birthday, Lisa.
I wish you love and good will.
I wish you peace and joy.
I wish you better than your heart desires.
And your first kiss from a boy.
Lisa, it's your birthday.
Happy birthday, Lisa.
Lisa, it's your birthday.
Happy birthday, Lisa.
Lisa, it's your birthday.
Happy birthday, Lisa.
Lisa, it's your birthday.
Happy birthday, Lisa.
《Thriller》25周年
今天是Michael Jackson的《Thriller》(颤栗)专辑发布25周年纪念日,全世界的歌迷都在庆祝。
早晨起来,看完了一些相关的电视电台节目,并再次欣赏了一遍MJ在1988年格莱美上表演的Man In The Mirror,觉得很快乐。
