放眼望去

两年说短不短说长不长,再过几天就应该收到毕业证了。混了那么多年,终于可以挺直腰板做人了--〉就是现在辍学也可以应聘80%的工作了。虽然我觉得现在的我和中学毕业的我知识结构上没有多大的变化,这是和03-05的变化比较而言,但是在性格和世界观方面却是有可测量的进步的。

 

上面几句话我看第二遍,愣是没看懂。如今敲键盘,只为打essay,人都变迂变傻了,利索话都吐不出一句。

重新起行,回车

最近大事记

下星期去Quebec City,为期一周,去做化学题。

再下星期开始正式打工,la ronde收钱,每天过手的$$十万八万还是有的,万恶的资本主义社会阿,你要是不给我涨工资我就给你搞破坏!!

九月份去McGill学化工,目前为止还不知道那是多么惨烈的一个专业,也许我高兴得就跟拱前面猪屁股,要挤进肉联厂车间的小花猪一样 (—3—)完全不知道怎么样的坎坷前途在等候着我,但这暂且不表。

希望暑假每周或每两周能有个盼头,组织去哪里fb一次,要不然夏天也是挺难过的。

我感觉我的基本心理动机和人家大嗓子驴差不多,只要在我脑袋顶上挂一根胡萝卜就可以在光明大道上一路小跑,还叫得挺欢。

所以,每次觉得low的不得了的时候,就要给自己挂一根胡萝卜,给点甜头尝尝,比如计划买个这个啦,去一下那里啦,等等等等,小快乐小幸福,钱多了还可以换一个大号的,嘿嘿。

所以呢,嗒嗒~嗒嗒!隆重推出一号草稿计划,自己看这就挺开心的。

Magic Hour

“白日完全结束进入黑夜前有段过度时光,天色明暗暧昧,只有七八分钟光景,叫做狼狗时光。用镜头捕捉顷刻画面,必须快速抢拍,电影拍摄手法称之为魔术时刻(magic hour),呈现效果是物体棱线清楚,看上去却有夜晚的意味。”我猜测生命情境不确定的灰色地带便是这个空间。”
                                 ——苏伟贞

 

   可是现在不一样
  
  你要交出一些东西
  
  你怕写得不好辜负了别人和自己
  
  你怕你担不起辜负二字
  
  你关心胖瘦,关心胃,
  
  你还不知道能不能等来一个什么人
  
  你要应付一切
  
  生命之外的东西
  
  你觉得不要好不熟练一切都不知道会怎样
  
  可是还会半夜醒来害怕失去什么人
  
  
  于是你想回到病房
  
  那里很简单
  
  很盛大

轻舟已过万重山

同样是痛的感觉。其中滋味却大有不同。
两个多月前的一天,我读着MIT的拒绝信,脑袋嗡嗡地响,天打五雷轰。刚刚,我看着minerva上的refused这个词,却只觉得肚子痛,像被人用头顶了一下。一切都和timing有关系。
(邪恶地笑,第二次,果然就不疼了= =b 什么啊?你歪想什么啊。。。---〉〉面壁思过!!!)


很多次填个人资料栏,还有面试的时候,都有这么样一个问题:请用一个词形容你自己。
我每次都会小心翼翼地给出一个模棱两可的中性词,好奇。


但实际上不是这样的。


我其实一点都不好奇,我懒得知道和我无关的事,我自负。我不发脾气,是因为觉得不值得对人动气。我不擅社交,是因为我觉得不值得。我不作弊,是因为我觉得不值得。我的世界很小,因为让我觉得值得的事情很少,而且并没有随着年龄增长而增加。这个世界是那么的小,比小孩子玩耍时误套在头上的塑料袋还要小;过了这么久了,这里的空气逐渐稀薄。

 

终于,有一天。。。
“行刑的卫士用长钳将烧得赤红的铁鞋放于皇后面前。这时皇后已经不再反抗哭号了,她套上了铁鞋,踮着烤焦的脚趾,跳舞直到力竭而亡。”

带着皇后的面具,巫婆跳舞跳到死。围观的民众很多,他们来看皇后,看这个恶毒的妇人怎么受死。

 

我是巫婆,我是迫害公主的巫婆,我嫉妒,我恨,我贪恋,我诅咒纯美的东西不得善终,我没法爱,我是坏人。

我阴谋篡得皇位,我冒充良善,我假装好人,假装有自控力,假装有同情心,假装高尚。

我被发现了,我被认出来了,隔得老远就有人指着我说,看,那个就是巫婆。

我暗自松一口气,原来我低估了别人的辨识能力,这说明他们比我想象的聪明,这世界还有希望。

坏人在一个随随便便就可以被侵占的王国里,会一点乐趣都没有的。

我跳着跳着,眼前的风景转啊转,很多人的脸,很多惦记的事,嗞啦嗞啦,都飞走了,变成青烟和我一起飞走了。

烧吧!烧吧!烧掉这个世界!!撕破这片让我窒息的天空!!!

 

我是个失败的阴谋家,我没有成功地混入白大褂的队伍。我该痛哭流涕的。。。可是。。。怎么。。。我好高兴。。。

会不会。。。咒语解除了。。。我不再是遗世独居的巫婆,可以做回我自己,一个普通的,被巫婆公主们鄙视的老百姓,走进繁华的人间烟火里去。

 

针对不明白前后经过的同学的特别提示:忽略这并不高明的隐喻。我premed被拒了。痛并快乐着。我20-30的人生又是我自己的了。

theatre



I am a habitual self-interlocutor. One evening while taking photographs at the American Museum of Natural History, I had a near-hallucinatory vision. My internal question-and-answer session leading up to this vision went something like this: "Suppose you shoot a whole movie in a single frame?" The answer: "You get a shining screen." Immediately I began experimenting in order to realize this vision. One afternoon I walked into a cheap cinema in the East Village with a large-format camera. As soon as the movie started, I fixed the shutter at a wide-open aperture. When the movie finished two hours later, I clicked the shutter closed. That evening I developed the film, and my vision exploded before my eyes.

-Hiroshi Sugimoto

每当我们凝视阴暗时,虽然明知道它只是阴暗而已,但仍然会深受感动,领略到一种永劫不灭的闲寂在统治着这一片幽暗的感觉,好象只剩下空气沉聚在那里似的。细想起来,西洋人所说的‘东洋的神秘’,大概就是指这种拥有幽暗的令人生畏的寂静吧。”(谷崎润一郎《阴翳礼赞》)
