今天看到一位彪悍的MM说:“女孩子还是要学会游泳,起码不用再去问:我和你妈同时落水,你先救谁?妇女自救运动的主要目的,还在于把男人从婆媳问题中解放出来。”
So, 懒人抬起了有千斤重的手来这里吼一句:J, 男孩子还是要学会游泳的,起码你落水了,我的狗刨技术不会害得你我都去见龙王了,或者你也同意这位MM的话?我和你妈妈同时落水……
我俨然已经把你从这个问题中解救出来了,很明显,这种时候你还是去救你的母亲大人吧。
这位MM的话很有意思!
前天晚上和老吴、虫子、西西还有嘉一起去了南锣鼓巷。自己好像有这个毛病,不会当时记下,反而要在几天后才能好好写下来,似乎这样记忆更加完整。
现在想起那天夜里我们五人串过的南锣鼓巷,陈升的那首《北京一夜》涌上心头,不为别的,只是因为记得那首歌里提到了地安门,好像南锣鼓巷就在那附近吧。我问西西,中戏在南锣鼓巷里,我们会不会碰上n多的美女啊,不记得西西是怎么回答的,但是那晚我们没有遇到,至少那晚,至少我们。
所到之处有不计其数的各色酒吧和各色人(洋人居多)。在我看来,他们很享受在这个亦中亦西的环境中消耗掉炎炎的夏夜,有时候连中国人自己(比如我)都会生出“所到何处”的疑问。老式的门窗打开了,临街的,阁楼上的,望进去的是咖啡桌、手写着菜单的小黑板,穿着吊带的外国女孩,还有透出诋徊的音乐。卖着中式服装的商铺和各种新奇玩意的小店,巷子不长不短,逛完了微微有点累。对于我平淡的生活,这样的小巷还不错。只是,我突然想白天里的南锣鼓巷肯定和夜里的带给人不同的感觉。
我一定不会在白亮的光线下记得那个拐角的狭小局促的Guitar Bar,那里面静静弹着guitar的人,夜赋予酒吧和酒吧里的人多么不一样的面孔和心啊。那样的面孔和心看不到,却能感受得到。藏着什么呢?而在夏夜和在冬夜也会是不一样的。南锣鼓巷里的气息是夜里和黎明前的露水,清晨阳光来时便走了。
但是,夜总是如期而至。
I read the chinese version of this poet on Qiu’ blog , then googled original one. It’s for Jia and me.
Of course, it’s for you too.
I love you,
Not only for what you are,
But for what I am
When I am with you.
I love you,
Not only for what
You have made of yourself,
But for what
You are making of me.
I love you
For the part of me
That you bring out;
I love you
For putting your hand
Into my heaped-up heart
And passing over
All the foolish, weak things
That you can’t help
Dimly seeing there,
And for drawing out
Into the light
All the beautiful belongings
That no one else had looked
Quite far enough to find.
I love you because you
Are helping me to make
Of the lumber of my life
Not a tavern
But a temple;
Out of the works
Of my every day
Not a reproach
But a song.
I love you
Because you have done
More than any creed
Could have done
To make me good
And more than any fate
Could have done
To make me happy.
You have done it
Without a touch,
Without a word,
Without a sign.
You have done it
By being yourself.
Perhaps that is what
Being a friend means,
After all.
Someone tells me it’s time to tie the knot this year, maybe i should think about it.
