2006 China Salsa Championships

Welcome to my kitchen

一样的城市，在多伦多，一样的朋友，时间转眼过去两年了。感觉自己改变的很多。也许因为工作的关系，也许因为很疼我的男友，我不像以前那样患得患失，不像以前那样冲动。两年半以前我一个人来到这里，在一段没有结果的感情之后，我开始在一个新的城市找自己的立足点。也许很多投入没有得到回报，也许很多决定经不起推敲，但我从来没有后悔过。这段时间中，无论是感情还是处事都学得更加稳重，不再茅草。这么久的努力之后，工作终于有了进展。买东西不像原来那样分分计较。终于可以没有顾忌的请朋友吃吃饭，聊聊天。花几百加币买个生日礼物给男友也可以，只因为他会很高兴。母亲节请爸爸妈妈吃大餐，看他们高兴我也很开心。他们也慢慢开始适应这里的生活，不用我很担心。这样才稍微轻松了一些，多少有了些安全感。男友一家人对我都很好，常常一起去吃饭，看演唱会。因为我特别爱吃，爸爸又特别喜欢做饭，我一直很受欢迎，哈哈。男友的妈妈最近心情很低落，我们昨天去看她，随路带了一束花让儿子给了她一个惊喜，心情一下好很多。我们也都很喜欢旅游。记得刚和他开始交往的第一个圣诞我去了他蒙特利尔的家，第二个圣诞他跟我回了北京，现在我终于有了美国签证，今年圣诞节也许在夏威夷过了。

总之现在一切都很好，直到最近的一周，才真正觉得在这里站稳脚跟。以后会再继续努力的。

contentment... is there such a word? :)

... and I still am... :)

Life has been kind to me. It is beyond my words to describe how grateful I am for everything that I have. Passion and happiness is all I need and I could not ask for more.

i want to go home

why do you have to be so cold.... i just want a place to call home. why aren't you being a dad like you should.... i'm tired, i'm sick, i was shaking but you weren't there.... to help me or to hold me...
After 9 hours of work, I had to come back decide what to eat, to cook super AND lunch for both of us; I had to get groceries; I had to do laundary and offered to do yours too; i had to get in contact with my friends because they WERE ALWAYS THERE FOR ME; I had to be the one to arrange moving couches; I had to be the one contact your driving test; and I had to be the one to initiate our conversation regardless how you response.
If you were to confront me of not being a daughter like I should, i want to ask: have you really allowed me to do so? Have you ever thought about how you have rejected me when you are confronting me of being cold? you've asked me: do I love you? that hurts me very deep. i'm going insane because i don't know what else i can do to let you know ... I've tried but i felt that you have never let me. How do you expect me to love you that way??
I wish i don't have to come home. i wish i crushed into another car and that would be a good reason of not having to come back. i wished i didn't come home only because i have to. i wish one day i actually want to come home because

it is HOME.

In Love with Damien Rice

我不知道风是在哪个方向吹－－记Damien Rice《9》

作者：zgerg(精灵幼虫) 6天前

还有什么比听到Damien Rice的新专辑《9》更值得哀伤？
　　放下一年多的等待，当音乐一点一点渗透出来，不要问什么理由，跟着这个笑起来眼角有浅浅皱纹的老男人，只管哀伤。
　　《O》属于午后的阳光和古墙的夕阳，
　　而《9》，是阴天里窗外笼罩的阴霾，是凌晨吞噬你一个人的黑夜，
　　是灰蓝色的海边吹起的风，不知道它来自哪一个方向，你站在那里，面朝大海，
　　任头发散落在脸上，让风带走你的气息，只剩心底最深处的温暖……
　　
　　《9 crimes》，钢琴声响起，人开始回忆。
　　Lisa Hannigan声音里的疼痛，有不舍，有愧疚，有牵挂。放下？还是放不下？
　　思念是错的么？邂逅某个人，要问什么时间对了吗？我们有罪，为什么有罪？需要理由么？
　　Damien Rice压抑在胸腔里的伤，伴随着声音的收发，从很小的出口逃离，他在努力控制情感，他不知道为爱而欺骗是对是错，关于另外一个女人，关于背叛，有罪。
　　放下这些疑问和矛盾吧！
　　只问，你介意么？你介意么？我只想知道，你介意么？爱能超脱一切么？
　　Vyvienne Long的大提琴声扩散开来，男声和女声交织在一起, 钢琴背景下，一瞬间，情感爆发。
　　Damien Rice 的声音与大提琴融为一体，伴随中间穿插的女声，所有乐声到达统一，高潮。
　　突然间，安静了，只剩下落寞的钢琴声。淡淡，一点点，收起，一同落下。
　　
　　《The Animals Were Gone》，还是那把木吉他，低吟浅唱，诉说着生活。一切看似很平淡。
　　清晨醒来，发现屋子空空的，想起答应给你写首好歌，突然发现你已经离开。
　　想像在爱尔兰一个林间小木屋，喝你泡的咖啡，过着除了音乐就是生活的日子，而某一天你不在，这种遗憾和绝望，是用大提琴说得清的么？
　　
　　《Elephant》，乍一听，有上一张专辑中The blower’s daughter的感觉，似乎是一种感情的回归。
　　大段的音乐还是属于简单的木吉他，关于死亡，停止，放下。
　　谎言，怀念。想挽留，一切如风逝去。
　　Damien Rice更会释放自己的感情了，撕心地呼喊，却在结尾处，变回安静的自己，默默地离开。
　　
　　《Rootless Tree》是在清新民谣基础上，一种新的尝试，Damien Rice摇滚起来。
　　语言和音乐更加热烈了，想挣脱，却纠缠，无处可逃。
　　爱，背叛，自由。我要你恨我，我才能出走。
　　Lisa Hannigan的声音在情感平缓处，如影相随，直至消失。
　　如果要离开，我们必须各自离开，因为我们早已各自融入彼此……
　　
　　《Grey Room》，《Accidental Babies》，《Sleep Don't Weep》和《The Rat Within the Grain》都是非常典型的Damien Rice风格，生活化的木吉他，随声潜入的大提琴，应声而起的钢琴。
　　除了男女声的完美结合，每首都有出彩的地方，比如《Grey Room》的鼓点。
　　音乐必须与诗歌在一起，才能打动人。
　　关上房门，关掉灯，带上情绪，把这个11月交给诗人和歌者Damien Rice……
　　
　　最早发表于EdemsMusicExpress

----------

嗯，我觉得喜欢Damien Rice的人都有感性的文艺气息吧。看来国内支持者还是不少的嘛。
　　　　我想提一下The rat within the grain，我觉得其他歌曲都可以在上一张O里面找到影子，但这首玩着文字游戏的歌，轻快调皮，有点乡村的根源，感觉很清新，自成一体。
　　　　这张的钢琴比例好像比上张也要大。me mr yoke and I 和 rootless trees里面的三段式旋律有点令人着迷。几首层层推进最后爆发的歌曲感染力比较大，过耳不忘。Damien Rice的乐感依旧如此优美锐利。
　　　　我觉得外国人忧伤起来好像跟我们不大一样，你看Damien Rice的歌的主题，偷情，背叛，性，西方的诗人可以把这些东西都拿来忧伤一把。相比之下，我们的高晓松式忧伤还是非常纯情。

my lit'l discovery of love

LOVE IS NOT BLACK OR WHITE. It's not a forever promise. Love is a temporary stage of feelings, which accumulates to a life long time, and then it became TRUE LOVE.

Love is a decision.

This is me


对于孩子的态度 Children 是否和你的伴侣一起生儿育女对你来说并不重要，你更注重两个人的生活，你对家庭的观念不限于传统，孩子对你来说不是婚姻的重要组成部分。

对于结婚的态度 Marriage 你认为两个人之间的关系，没有必要从形式上得到社会的正式认可。双方的情感维系是恋人间相处的主要因素，是否和你的伴侣拥有一个家对你来说并不重要。

事业上的一致性渴望 Career 你希望你的伴侣和你具有相同的职业，或至少拥有一些相似的职业兴趣，能够随时交流，你更多关注的是事业上双方的共同话题。

共享空间的程度 Shared space 你希望能够和伴侣建立一种亲密无间的关系，希望你身边的人能够与你一起分享生命中美妙的东西。你可能更喜欢稳定的关系，让你的生活更加祥和。你愿意倾诉心中的情感，并希望能在他/她那里得到支持。

伴侣对于自己的重要性 Importance 你是一个相当敏感的人。婚姻中的伴侣是你生活中的大部分，他/她可以说是你最重要的朋友，你愿意用更长的时间去维护你们之间的关系，家庭在你的生活中有着不可动摇的地位。

表达方式 Type of Communication 你特别重视伴侣在你需要的时候，能够做出实际行动挺身而出帮助你，而不只是口头上的承诺。你习惯用自己的行为表达感受，也许你不善长于语言的表达。你希望你的伴侣同样是一个看中现实的人，而不是花言巧语。

沟通强度 Extend of Communication 你不想和那些经常在交谈中表达强烈情绪的人在一起。你和那些不为小事情而担心，不会批评你的自由精神的伴侣在一起生活是最幸福的。你在沟通方面，和能够与你一样求同存异的人最合得来，你可以很随和地讨论任何问题。如果你的伴侣经常向你询问事情进展如何，你应该警惕。这可能是你们不谐调的警告标志。

对于物质的态度 Materialization 你喜欢和关心整体生活质量平衡的人交往，同时希望你的伴侣也是这样的。你和那些生活很现实，不为金钱或地位所左右，而关心生活中真正有意义的事情的伴侣在一起会很幸福。

活动激活水平 Excitment 你喜欢比较剧烈的运动，尤其是一些挑战性的。你希望你的伴侣和你一样富有生命活力，新潮、激情是你们共同的追求。

独立性 Independency 你希望你的伴侣共同承担你们婚姻生活的义务，不想一个人背负太多的责任，出现问题时希望大家一起讨论，你更愿意与你的伴侣分享快乐和忧伤。

对于伴侣的信任程度 Trust 你对你的伴侣充分信任，同时你会减弱他/她对你们的关系的焦虑，这将使你们的关系更全面，更稳固。

自信心 Confidence 你对自己事业和婚姻的成功充满自信心。如果你的伴侣也是一样的自信和可靠那你就是世界上最幸福的人了。

生活情趣 Sex-drive 你是一个热情并对性生活充满热情的人。你希望你的伴侣在身体上、感情上都能够强烈地吸引你。

自尊心 Self-esteem 你渴望成功，对你最合适的伴侣是和你一样，不断挑战自我，努力进取的人。

责任心 Responsibility 你有责任心，人们往往把你视为可信赖和可靠的朋友。

冒险性 Adventures 你喜欢追求长远发展，能够与自己平平安安共度一生的人。

当我恋爱时如果你是作家型，你会是一个稀少族群的一员，这部分类型仅占人口总数的2%。作家型富有直觉，我们称之为“心灵”或“灵魂”的能力。你认为世界上最完美的表达方式就是文字。你是一个随时随地都离不开文字的人，喜欢在一个即时贴上写下三言两语，或者有记日记、留纸条等习惯，当你心中爱意奔涌的时候，你会让自己最温暖的爱意，以文字的形式来表达。你没有强迫性的占有欲，但是你会把自己的伴侣当做是自己最好的、也是这世界上唯一值得信赖的朋友。你会把大把时间用来和恋人享受私密时光，甚至有可能成天和伴侣粘在一起。

灵性特质的作家型热爱文字与写作是你的天赋，你对文字有着浓厚的兴趣，擅长透过文字来把握生命的本质。写作带给你对生命的直觉和对本质的洞察。这种对人性的了解，使得你成为身边朋友的智慧之源与倾诉对象。
