A Dream Within a Dream

這禮拜跑去看Inception，聽完很想找裡面讓他們醒來的那首歌，可惜開頭很短完全沒線索，不過倒是找到了蠻有趣的東西。電影配樂有一首叫做A Dream Within a Dream，這個名字其實也是有淵源的，A Dream Within a Dream就是美國詩人艾倫·坡(Edgar Allan Poe)所創作的...與期說他是個詩人不如說他是個妖人，想知道為什麼請去看他的小說吧。

Edgar Allan Poe "A Dream Within A Dream"
Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow-
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand-
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep- while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?

(wiki找的翻譯)
不能再吻你的額頭，
到了再見的時候，
我不得不說－
你是對的，
我的生活 不過是一場夢。
但是，如果希望已經飛走
無論在夜裡，或在白天，
無論在幻想，或在虛無中，
那麼它是否會因此留下一些呢？
我們所看到、所感受的一切
不過是一場夢中的夢。

我站在
怒濤彭湃的海岸邊，
我的手中
攥著金黃的沙粒－
留不住啊！它們快速地
穿過我的手指而去，
我哭了－我哭了！
哦，上帝！為什麼我不能
牢牢地抓住它們？
哦，上帝！為什麼我不能
從這無情的波濤中救出一個？
難道我們所看到、所感受的一切
不過是一場夢中的夢？

猜火車

這個月就要30歲了...

不知道為什麼我想到大學時看的一部電影，猜火車。我很喜歡裡面的開場白：選擇生活，選擇工作，選擇事業，選擇家庭，選他媽的大電視機，選洗衣機、車子、CD、電動開罐器，選擇健康、低膽固醇和牙醫保險、定息低率貸款，選擇房子，選擇朋友，選擇休閒服跟搭配的行李箱，選擇各種布料的西裝，選DIY，懷疑自己是啥？看心智麻痺的電視，嘴裡塞滿垃圾食物，最後整個人腐爛到底，在悲慘的家裡生一堆自私的混蛋小孩煩死自己，不過是難堪罷了，選擇未來，選擇生活，…我幹嘛做這些事？」

原文：
Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career.Choose a family.Choose a fucking plasma television. Choose washing machine, cars, DVD player and electrical tin openers.....choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit crushing reality show, stuffing junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than a embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life..........But why do I want to do a thing like that?............

我在高中大學時選擇了不選擇，上課下課睡覺，那時候很希望睡著後就不用在起床了。因為我覺得自己像個死人，我感覺不到我活著。可惜不選擇也是一種選擇，人生是一條單行道，就算哪天你想來一個帥氣的U turn也不行。所以後來我開始做一些選擇，因為他媽的不選擇也是一種選擇，而且結果通常都不好，所以只好他媽的選擇結果看起來會比較好的選擇。可是又會開始氣憤，他媽的為什麼要選擇結果看起來比較好的，為什麼要跟別人一樣？如果你覺得我瘋了，我也沒辦法否認，不過我相信應該有人會理解的XD

喵的～要30歲了，有個不好也不壞的碩士學歷，有一台豐田的小汽車，明年說不定有機會賺到人生的第一桶金。然後呢？然後呢？找老婆，買房子付貸款...然後呢？然後呢？這就是我最近常思考的問題。也是以前我困惑的問題，人生就是這樣子嗎？

好羨慕最後主角想開了，片尾旁白詞：選擇生活，就像你一樣，工作、家庭、他媽的大電視、汽車、洗衣機、CD音響、電動開罐器、健康、房貸、牙醫保險….然後等著翹辮子。不過這畢竟是電影，電影花了90幾分鐘想開，我卻要花一輩子去思考這個問題...Orz



Someone falls to pieces
Someone kills the pain
Spinning in the silence
She finally drifts away
Someone gets excited
In a chapel yard
And catches a bouquet
Another lays a dozen
White roses on a grave
Yeah...

And to be yourself is all that you can do
Hey...
To be yourself is all that you can do

Someone finds salvation in everyone
Another only pain
Someone tries to hide himself
Down inside himself he prays
Someone swears his true love
Until the end of time
Another runs away
Separate or united
Healthy or insane

And to be yourself is all that you can do(all that you can do)
Yeah..
To be yourself is all that you can do(all that you can do)

To be yourself is all that you can do(all that you can do)
Hey...
Be yourself is all that you can do

even when you've paid enough
been put upon or been held up
with every single memory of
the good or bad, faces of luck
don't lose any sleep tonight
i'm sure everything will end up alright
you may win or lose

But to be yourself is all that you can do
Yeah...
To be yourself is all that you can do

Ohhh...
To be yourself is all that you can do(all that you can do)
Ohhh...
To be yourself is all that you can do(all that you can do)
To be yourself is all that you can--
Be yourself is all that you can--
Be yourself is all that you can dooooooohoooo

Don't Cry for Me Argentina

這禮拜真是全家爆走日，因為公司的事禮拜五回家時心情有點不爽，沒想到小妹也一樣爆走。回家後發現連老爸都爆走，這是安怎？！早知道待在新竹看球，不過就算呆在新竹看球也一樣，啊啊啊啊～最愛的巴西輸了，阿根廷也一起打包回家真是難過...真是不幸的一週。

好險要回家時爸爸已經不爆走了...
