前天和數個朋友跑到一家我們經常去的club幫某位科技新貴慶生，
看著酒單我突然想到電影裡的角色常點一杯馬丁尼坐在那邊很孤芳自賞的啜飲著。
記憶中只要是去酒吧都是喝著醒到老掉的House Wine或者啤酒，
於是點了一杯馬丁尼。
原來馬丁尼是一種苦艾酒和琴酒調製成，配色來講，放了三顆橄欖看起來還蠻有情調的，
實際上是難喝到爆的雞尾酒。
以上。

忠於自己的純平
純平。
這個人我好久沒看到了，
當然經歷了我最後二年在淡江和社上的人大吵之後，
連純平這麼單純的傢伙也不再把我視為朋友了。
而且我講話機車不留情面到很多人都搖頭嘆息了。
純平這個傢伙是一個心裡有很多浪漫的人。
他喜歡村上春樹，有一件"Bon Jovi"的T恤，
而且我記得他第一次穿到社辦的那天，蝙蝠說，『我真想把他整個人丟出窗外』
大概是蝙蝠並不喜歡Bon Jovi，跟純平這個人無關。
我記得純平很單純，就像一個無害的生物，
如果你心情不好打給純平，他也一定會耐心聽完你的故事，
再給你一個純平式的建議。
有一年的寒假，我發了瘋似地想要學電吉他。
所以我想起了丟在新竹老家都沒人用的電吉他和擴大器。
純平說，我可以陪你去拿啊！
結果我們從淡水騎著機車，騎了N個小時回到老家，
那個老爸蓋的大宅院裡，把擴大器和電吉他載回淡水的家。
回來之後純平得了重感冒。
他就是一個可靠又可愛的傢伙！
純平這名字也是從村上的某一本小說裡來的呢。
挪威森林？
最後純平離開了淡水，在真理大學重新開始，
而我，也在大吵之後再也沒有和他聊上幾句。
以前，只要想吃宵夜沒人陪，
打給純平，他就會陪你去學府路吃一頓。
以前，只要想去海邊嫌人少，
只要純平沒有事，他就馬上騎著車子和我們會合。
在長堤說著他的夢想和喜歡的電影和小說。
多年以後不知道他在做什麼，
不過我還是記得在第二社辦的日子，
如果不小心看電影看過了頭，早上在客廳純平要出門之前，
他會拿起髮膠噴殺蟲劑似的往頭上亂噴一氣！
我想他要和我這種憤世忌俗的傢伙相處，也花了很多耐心和包容的。
希望他找到了他的小綠！

謊言
最近爆紅的悟空妹引發了我的好奇心，
跑去看了她以前在愛情國小的網誌上膻腥的內容
年少無知的愛情國小網誌
（某篇跟OJ有關的內容）
悟空妹懶人包
令我想起以前認識的江海蒂。
活在一個泰半都是捏造出來的情節當中，最精彩的莫過於幻想出一整個出差的行程。
妄想症很嚴重的江小姐
一個人是做了什麼導致自己只剩下無盡的謊言？
活在謊言的世界和真實的世界，感受的差別又是什麼？
想要符合眾人的期待，悟空妹忽略了她自己的現在已經很美麗，
而江海蒂忘記就算她曾經和HOWARD有一段情，但她的一切已經很酷了。
不夠，不完美，利用撒謊來圓自己的形象。
看陳以庭在訪問中又哭又笑，不知她是否已經受夠了這一切。
或是她受夠了她自己，於是乎捏造一個全新的人生，
於是乎改頭換面來讓一切變得更容易。有嗎？有更容易嗎？
或者必須撒更多的謊來讓其他的謊更圓滿？
如果可以重新開始...
我要怎麼做？
去到一個沒有人認識我的地方，
過著不一樣的生活。
說著一個新的語言，捏造一個新的故事，
或許我可以做一個超酷的人，有一個超酷的家庭，
沒有黑暗的過往和不堪的回憶，
沒有那些曾經傷心的朋友，
沒有決裂了又感到可惜的感情。
但是我們都清楚、你可以騙別人一輩子，卻騙不了自己。
而我寧願相信那些過往的情節，不完美或卑劣的自己，
也是這個人生裡關於我的重要片段。
有一點糟，有一點不堪，或許還有很多誤會，
有很多錯置，但是真實。
一個來自不完美家庭的不完美的人，
努力想要讓自己的人生精彩，也許經常性的失敗，
但努力的過程中堅信著現在的自己真的很快樂。
也希望自己能讓別人也快樂一些。
但是我真的就是這個拙劣的人，有時候愛耍心機，
有時候手段太多。
有時候...
這是我。

"Juno" (2007)
"You love him!"
"It's not, it... it's.. really complicated, OK?"
I like it a lot. JUNO. It makes me smile when watching it.
You're a part time lover and a full time friend
The monkey on you're back is the latest trend
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you
I kiss you on the brain in the shadow of a train
I kiss you all starry eyed, my body's swinging from side to side
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you
Here is the church and here is the steeple
We sure are cute for two ugly people
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you
The pebbles forgive me, the trees forgive me
So why can't, you forgive me?
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you
I will find my nitch in your car
With my mp3 DVD rumple-packed guitar
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you
Du du du du du du dudu
Du du du du du du dudu
Du du du du du du dudu du
Up up down down left right left right B A start
Just because we use cheats doesn't mean we're not smart
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you
You are always trying to keep it real
I'm in love with how you feel
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you
We both have shiny happy fits of rage
You want more fans, I want more stage
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you
Don Quixote was a steel driving man
My name is Adam I'm your biggest fan
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you
Squinched up your face and did a dance
You shook a little turd out of the bottom of your pants
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you
Du du du du du du dudu
Du du du du du du dudu
Du du du du du du dudu du
But you

An E-mail to the groom to be.
My Dear dear friend,
Did you remember the day we met?
In that tiny room for club members in college. You walked in to me and we chatted.
Did you remember our old days, that one of my girl friend had crush on you but you're tangled by another triangle relationship?
Did you still held it valuable that we promise to look after each other forever, and I've got your back?
There has been way too much between us, our memories, old days, you're part of my family and... me, I am your family. Now that I can understand, it's your decision to marry this lucky woman. She's .. you know, a control freak and less pleasant when she's so mad and jealous about me being in your life way longer (correctly, it's triple times longer than her) then she is. I respect you. After all, you've walked through all these tough times all by yourself for over 30 years, and I am drifting all the time, can't be your full time sister to support you; not even when the time you were so sick. For that I am going to kick your ass if you don't fix your sick pure meat diet. Thought out these tough times she last longer then others, I don't find her your best choice, but ... hey! You've got yourself locked up!
I know your history, and for this I respect her to stick around no matter how ugly the situation goes. She's a fighter... you whatch out and don't pull your old habit again, or I am sure that you will end up in hospital...
Now my dear, I am sorry that I have to pull a drama here. It's not an good idea I know... it's 2 days before your wedding...
Honestly, I understand. Totally if you can't reply to this...
You might not forgive me forever, I know....
But can you text me the "when" and "where" of your wedding?
Because I lost my invitation.
PS.I tried to pull our conversation record from MSN, nothing's saved. And I try my blackberry however I forgot to save your new mobile number. I don't know what's the reason but I don't have your new mobile phone number, the old one is no good now... you probably told me before... surprised~~
Looking forward to hearing from you ASAP, I mean, ASAP!!
Love,
your best friend . (I hope I can still be.)

A conversation.
“Hey, got a minute?”
“Sure, what’s up?”
“Uh… I’m trapped, in this relationship with Jewel, I don’t know… “
“Jewel? I thought you broke up with her already.”
“No.. well, I did, but things got a little bit complicated, we talked… one thing led to another…”
“Oh, so you two are back together again?”
“You can put it that way.”
“Wow, you sure have some guts.”
“I know… I really shouldn’t. There were problems… “
“Tell me about it… so what about now? Any ‘NEW’ problem pops up?”
“yah, I know … it sounds very stupid, but can you be a doll? Time out for sarcasm and I really need your opinion.”
“I will bite my tongue. Shoot.”
“last weekend, I went to her parents’. Her old man’s birthday.”
“how’s it?”
“Old birthday thing, cake, music, conversations, awkward conversations, very embarrassing conversations…”
“WOW. Sounds very exciting. HAHAHA!”
“Her mom cornered me with her questions: SO, Donald, what’s your plan with Jewel?”
“That’s direct.”
“Then Jewel’s annoying sister Pam said: Well, this drama has tagged too long between you two kids, move on!”
“What’s that supposed to mean?!”
“I think they kind of hope that I can wrap everything up with Jewel, instead of ‘taking time’…”
“wrap up as a marriage or a garbage?! Hey perfect rhyme!”
“I believe it’s more for “M” word otherwise her old man should have killed me long ago.”
“Well she’s right, what’s your plan with her? First you two pick up fights way too frequently, then you broke up with her, boom! Back together! You’re a mysterious guy dude.”
“Fuck, why I end up with this shit. I don’t want to rush myself into this marriage crap.”
“maybe you shouldn’t get back with Jewel from the beginning. Oh maybe! Maybe.. you shouldn’t even date her from the VERY beginning. I told you she’s with some problem. She’s got crazy eyes.”
“Man, stop saying that she’s got crazy eyes.”
“She has! And she’s a control freak. Quote to you ‘self-centered buzzle’ You must be losing your mind to commit to that.”
“Well we have problems, part of them are my fault.. “
“Are you ready to fix those mistakes?”
“Not really… we are just trying out. Even I can feel that she’s been taking it seriously again, even more serious than before.”
“I think it’s never being a good idea.”
“You think so? But Jewel is still sweet, in a way… “
“If it didn’t work out for the first time, why do you think you guys can fix those problems now?”
“I don’t know, I thought we could.”
“Could you?”
“Can’t tell now, we just got back together for not more then 2 moths.”
“Did you pick up any fights?”
“Couple of times… not too serious.”
“What about the rest? Does it make you feel OK? Or by any chances AWSOME?”
“Like the old day.”
“Dude, don’t fall for the old day, if it’s so good, you wouldn’t wind up with that ugly break up.”
“Sometimes I did miss her. Yes she tends to control detail but she put my life in order.”
“Isn’t it the very reason drives you crazy?”
“Maybe I’m used to it.”
“No you’re not. Cut the crap. Are you going to pop the question to her? Really?!”
“Not now… I am not so sure.”
“Of course not! You weren’t sure the first time, right?”
“Then what should I do? Jewel won’t even say a word; she let her family do the talk.”
“Man, you’re literally trapped!”
“And her father wasn’t so happy that I didn’t give any positive response.”
“He will kill you for sure.”
“Is it really a bad idea to get back with her?”
“Well, from my point of view… it’s an idiotic decision which can only made by a moron.”
“What should I do!”
“Move on dude, told her to get the frigging out of your life…. Again.”
“It’s easy to say… “
“If you don’t move on, you will feel sorry for yourself making the same mistake again and again.”
“She’s not all that bad.”
“Believe me, if it would work, you two are married for years already. If it’s not working, then nothing can change the fact, even time.”
“Sure, what’s up?”
“Uh… I’m trapped, in this relationship with Jewel, I don’t know… “
“Jewel? I thought you broke up with her already.”
“No.. well, I did, but things got a little bit complicated, we talked… one thing led to another…”

“I believe it’s more for “M” word otherwise her old man should have killed me long ago.”
“Well she’s right, what’s your plan with her? First you two pick up fights way too frequently, then you broke up with her, boom! Back together! You’re a mysterious guy dude.”
“Fuck, why I end up with this shit. I don’t want to rush myself into this marriage crap.”
“maybe you shouldn’t get back with Jewel from the beginning. Oh maybe! Maybe.. you shouldn’t even date her from the VERY beginning. I told you she’s with some problem. She’s got crazy eyes.”
“Man, stop saying that she’s got crazy eyes.”
“She has! And she’s a control freak. Quote to you ‘self-centered buzzle’ You must be losing your mind to commit to that.”
“Well we have problems, part of them are my fault.. “
“Are you ready to fix those mistakes?”
“Not really… we are just trying out. Even I can feel that she’s been taking it seriously again, even more serious than before.”
“I think it’s never being a good idea.”
“You think so? But Jewel is still sweet, in a way… “
“If it didn’t work out for the first time, why do you think you guys can fix those problems now?”
“I don’t know, I thought we could.”
“Could you?”
“Can’t tell now, we just got back together for not more then 2 moths.”
“Did you pick up any fights?”
“Couple of times… not too serious.”
“What about the rest? Does it make you feel OK? Or by any chances AWSOME?”
“Like the old day.”
“Dude, don’t fall for the old day, if it’s so good, you wouldn’t wind up with that ugly break up.”
“Sometimes I did miss her. Yes she tends to control detail but she put my life in order.”
“Isn’t it the very reason drives you crazy?”
“Maybe I’m used to it.”
“No you’re not. Cut the crap. Are you going to pop the question to her? Really?!”
“Not now… I am not so sure.”
“Of course not! You weren’t sure the first time, right?”
“Then what should I do? Jewel won’t even say a word; she let her family do the talk.”
“Man, you’re literally trapped!”
“And her father wasn’t so happy that I didn’t give any positive response.”
“He will kill you for sure.”
“Is it really a bad idea to get back with her?”
“Well, from my point of view… it’s an idiotic decision which can only made by a moron.”
“What should I do!”
“Move on dude, told her to get the frigging out of your life…. Again.”
“It’s easy to say… “
“If you don’t move on, you will feel sorry for yourself making the same mistake again and again.”
“She’s not all that bad.”
“Believe me, if it would work, you two are married for years already. If it’s not working, then nothing can change the fact, even time.”

紅塵
這幾年看著這世界的變化
旅行也好
定住不動的焦慮也好
為求好也成
求一個保全大局也罷
這麼樣做的理由又是什麼
不過是孑然的來
必然也是孑然地走
你的喜怒哀樂
你的愛恨癡嗔
說穿了又與我何干
人和人之間的聯繫這麼簡單乾脆
說斷
說散
轉瞬而已
在這些情節裡我又何來權利扮演一個角色
那是你精彩的故事
你的紅塵
早該包裹太過充足的心思
了悟在這世上我尋得的真愛不過就那好友二三
因之富足了心靈後
又何必為了那些早就擦身而過的靈魂而挫折而糾結著眉心思量

This is how they pay the bill
Not particularly a big fan of Subway. My memory of subway starts from my first stay in LA, we went there when we couldn't come up with any interesting options for lunch.
JJ and I would take a walk, gossip a little bit about our Jennifer, and purchased a vegan sandwich for me, one meat monster for JJ himself, some chicken for Rick. As for Chris, he probably would take anything JJ has.
Back to the time in Subway, the price is similar to what we've got in Taiwan. However, it's one thing very different in Taiwan.

The other day I had to drive a long way down to center Taiwan to kick some sorry asses in factory. I had to rush into subway to grab a sandwich, which I don't do usually, since there are always better choices, subway is nothing I accept as daily meal.
I went in, check the menu, back to the time in La we always try to be creative, however I made up my mind just took one of their standard sandwich with cheese and bacon. (of course lots of vegi)
During the waiting time, I saw a 40 something women are stuffing all kinds of ingredient into my 6" wheat bread sandwich, then I want to add more cheese, ask her if she can add up some. She said: 10NTD per piece.
As we all know, in the concept of "one piece of cheese" is supposed to be a square cheese slice. In stead of that, in Subway (TW), they cut it into 2 triangles, make double profit out of it.
OK FINE, make it 2 pieces of cheese.
After meat/ cheese station, I saw another lady started stuffing vegi. After she finished pickles, I ask: Can I have more paprika?
She smiled and replied: SURE!
Then she "pick up" those pickles on my sandwich, 4 or 5 pieces and put them back to the vegi tray, reached into green paprika try pick up like 3 pieces of spicy slice put into my sandwich.

THAT, is something I never expected seeing from subway. With a feeling of surprising, I walk out with a sandwich with "less pickles and more paprika instead of a sandwich with extra paprika, one idea flashed in my head:
"This is how moms pay their bill and raise family."
How insightful.
