叶子



纪念阿桑. 这首歌... 我... 也是很好听的.

叶子 - 阿桑
葉子 是不會飛翔的翅膀
翅膀 是落在天上的葉子
天堂 原來應該不是妄想
只是我早已經遺忘
當初怎么開始飛翔
孤單 是一個人的狂歡
狂歡 是一群人的孤單
愛情 原來的開始是陪伴
但我也漸漸地遺忘
當時是怎樣有人陪伴
我一個人吃飯 旅行 (到處)走走停停
也一個人看書 寫信 自己對話談心
只是心又飄到了哪里
就連自己看也看不清
我想我不僅僅是失去妳


English:
Leaves
Leaves, are like wings that can't fly
Wings, are like leafs that fall in the sky

Heaven, shouldn't have been wishful thinking
I had long forgot
How I started flying

Loneliness, is a person's party
Party, is a group of lonely people.

Love, originally starts with companion
But I'm starting to forget, how I had a companion

By myself, I dine and travel, stopping ever so often
Also started to read, write, converse with myself

But where my heart has drifted to
Even I can't see it clearly myself

I think I've lost more than just you.

Start

When I was little I always wondered why everyone is doing what they do. For 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, 360 days a year.

Then through all this 21 years of my life, I've become the same people that I always wondered about.

Every single day.
Wake up at 7:24.
Out the house by 8.
Ride the subway.
Get to work at around 9:15.
Work. Lunch. Work.
Leave at 5:15.
Spend 1 hr and 15 mins on the subway back.
Eat.
A bit of free time.
Sleep.

Everything has become regular. Routine.

It is then that I realized the free time that I've taken for granted at my life as a child is a commodity. What do you do in this free time? Do you spend time reading? Time gaming? Time chatting?

Its a weird feeling that something you had all along can so suddenly be taken away from you, even something so trivial as free time.

看着别人的小孩这么开心的享受童年. 我笑了. 但是, 自己知道, 自己已经不是小孩, 不能再无忧无虑的过着生活了.

这或许就是成长的过程.

男人的尊严

最近好多事情发生在我的身旁. 让我想了好久. 一个男人和面子... 有不小的关联.

我这个学期在我身边的人. 他因为经济不景气丢了工作. 刚开始还是为这事而愁, 烦恼. 他的老婆还是非常的支持的. 但是他渐渐的, 渐渐的陷入了一个泥沼. 有时候会为了烧菜这小事生气, 大发雷霆. 我听他老婆说的, 最近他也不忙家务了, 都是她和大儿子一手包办. 她那时候说话有点气愤, 可能她也是有点受不了了.

我还记得听过一句话, 在上海的时候一个广告: "有家的男人真幸福, 养家的男人真辛苦". 呵呵, 以前还不会体会这句话的意思. 现在, 看到这个场景, 深有感触. 做男人还是不简单啊.

当然, 他会熬过去的. 毕竟他不是一个被遗弃的人, 他还有家. 他有一个小儿子能寄托希望. 他天天教他钢琴, 督促他, 甚至有时候还会骂他. 我想, 希望儿子比自己还厉害, 是每个家长的希望吧.
