Someday

Today, as usual, I feel much pain again.
I realized what being alone and lonesome is.
I pray someday somehow the pain will pass,
and only the beautiful memories will remain.

God must hear me, cuz
I found an interesting job on TNT magazine,
"Help Wanted: Downland Farm in Village NR Salisbury Wilts",
I can't stay in one place too long,
travelling and working might help me get through this,
experienced as a milker, stockman, lamber, pigman, fencer & heavy machinery operator.
It's a live-in job. Interesting and must be fun.

How I feel about London ...

In someways London will be the perfect place for me.
Pretty much no one knows me,
so I can go out, experiment, do what I like
away from the judging eyes of family/friends,
find my own happiness.
Whatever it may be.

That's why I prefer to stay in London, instead of Taiwan.

British told me: "You're experienced in your field, can speak at least two languages. There will be something there for you." My Ph.D. thesis supervisor told me: "Erin, you are a doctor, do what a doctor will do, and act like a doctor. For God's sake, you are a young and smart doctor."

I don't know what is wrong with me. My problem is I don't know how to lead a life. I guess I gotta learn how to live.

Rudy (1993)








故事是描述一個出身工人家庭名叫Rudy的矮小男生,立志進入美國聖母大學、並且加入美式足球隊的過程。他只有5呎的身高、100磅的體重,面對這樣的夢想,他的家人、鄰居、朋友、同事,甚至包括他的女友(後來嫁給他哥哥)都不斷地希望他放棄。在唯一相信他夢想會成真的好朋友乍然去逝之後,他決定把握住當下活著的時候去完成夢想。在大學生涯兩年(專科插班大學)從不間斷地參與練球,他終於在最後一場比賽、在家人面前獲得上場比賽的機會;並在球隊獲勝之後,被聖母大學美式足球隊員扛在肩膀上走出球場。自1975年之後,沒有任何聖母大學的其他球員,獲得這樣的殊榮。

電影中的經典對白,是一個看衰Rudy的神父所說的:『作白日夢的人有個通病,就是他們不會付諸行動;他們在腦中的成就很輝煌,但在實際的地方卻很貧乏。』不過,Rudy用實際行動證明他不是個作白日夢的人。

噢我的愛人(O mistress mine)by 莎士比亞

O mistress mine 噢我的愛人

O mistress mine, where are you roaming?
噢我的愛人,你要遊蕩去哪裡?
O, stay and hear; your true love’s coming,
噢,停下聽聽,你的真愛來了哩,
That can sing both high and low.
他會唱高尚也會唱俚俗的歌謠。
Trip no further, pretty sweeting;
可愛的甜心,不要再往前走;
Journeys end in lovers meeting,
戀人們相會即是旅程的盡頭,
Every wise man’s son doth know.
每個聰明人的兒子都明瞭。
What is love? ’tis not hereafter;
什麼是愛?愛不在將來;
Present mirth hath present laughter;
當下玩樂就是當下暢快;
What’s to come is still unsure.
未來之事沒有人能確定。
In delay there lies no plenty;
想要豐收,就不能耽擱;
Then come kiss me, sweet and twenty,
雙十美姑娘,快來吻我,
Youth’s a stuff will not endure.
青春這東西不能永恆。

莎士比亞第 129 首十四行詩

The expense of spirit in a waste of shame
Is lust in action; and till action, lust
Is perjur'd, murderous, bloody, full of blame,
Savage, extreme, rude, cruel, not to trust;
Enjoy'd no sooner but despised straight;
Past reason hunted; and no sooner had,
Past reason hated, as a swallow'd bait,
On purpose laid to make the taker mad:
Mad in pursuit, and in possession so;
Had, having, and in quest to have, extreme;
A bliss in proof,—and prov'd, a very woe;
Before, a joy propos'd; behind, a dream.
All this the world well knows; yet none knows well
To shun the heaven that leads men to this hell.
