回顧2010


 

今年其實發生了好多事,不過值得慶幸的是大多都是好事。

最值得一提的是,我總於從長年的學生生涯中畢業了,

回頭看看,我一共花了26年的時間在學校裡啊。


 

最後這兩、三年的學生生活過的也蠻驚險跟疲累的,差一點點我就被退學了啊其實,

不過還好是有凹回來,不然我真的不知道臉要擺到那裡去。


 

學生生活結束之後,通常會經歷一段頗長的失業期,

前兩年好死不死來了一個房貸危機,經濟差不多整個又泡沫化一次,

各行各業一片哀鴻遍野,對剛要出社會的新鮮人是一大打擊,

我偏偏好死不死又是金融系所畢業,再加上又是準備在邪惡帝國跟房貸禍源的米國找工作,

前途根本是一片黑暗。


 

幸好我狗屎運夠強,在放蕩兩個月之後,隨便回了幾個徵人廣告,居然也在求職信寄出的五天內給我撿到一個工作。

先不提工作內容是好是壞,總之開始有收入也是件可喜可賀的事。

工作甘苦談啊,我想就不適合在這種公開的場合高談闊論了,畢竟現在是得為了五斗米折腰,

動不動就寫文章按他老木,GOOGLE這麼強大,飯碗不小心就會打破的。


 

開始上班之後,世界真的變好多,

以前三不五時就會想出門,現在只要有時間就是拼命睡覺,

愛打電動的習慣也不知不覺中改掉了,現在最常做的事居然是看銀行的存款數字增減趨勢…。


 

下一步,明年要幹嘛呢?我也不知道,管他去死,下禮拜薪水記得準時發給我就好。

2010-11-29

靠悲 一年啦?!

不知不覺一年多沒打過文章了...

這一年發生很多事,該來多寫寫文章以減緩我癡呆的速度。
Facebook真是害人不淺啊!

Toshiba NB205

上上禮拜,跟了我快五年的ASUS W3V嚥下最後一口氣,

經過診斷是回天乏術的「主機板自爆」。

 

…我是不太可能只用一台電腦的,

開玩笑,我 抓片量那麼大 功課那麼忙,一台哪夠用!

但是我現在又不能亂花錢,有夠苦。

 

幸虧現在的NETBOOK風潮,

讓我能夠以最少的預算達到雙劍合璧的成果。

做了一陣子功課之後,今天收到了我的新玩具。

 

DSC00957

今次購入的是評比不錯的TOSHIBA美規系列 NB205,

附的是6 Cell電池據說可待機九小時,科科。

台灣據說還要一萬五上下,我美金400買到還免稅免運,五告送。

DSC00958

我一直都很想買白色的筆電呀!終於圓夢了!

暑假結束

今年的暑假應該說是相當華麗的結束了,

華麗程度嘛…

大概是有點想向窗外喊”Come back! My 暑假!”這樣的華麗。

 

新學期即將在學費跟地球溫度一樣的上漲幅度中開始,

這兩天如果有空的話會補一些文章。

 

哭哭。

導遊命

小時候跟團出國玩,

印象中的導遊基本上跟神是差不多坎站的,

哪個地點有什麼洨都真的是如數家珍。

只要出一張嘴,然後根本就是邊玩邊賺錢,

就算調戲同團的異性,以地頭蛇的姿態雄霸全場,旅團也沒人敢怎樣,

根本就是爽翻的工作。

這幾年在米國當菸酒僧(目前已經升級到淫遊詩人的等級),在各路酒肉朋友的帶領之下,

大多的旅遊景點已經是去到會想痛斥揪團的人「幹!來點別的行不行啊!」

不過隨著即將登出「勇者鬥惡龍 - 米國大陸 Online篇」的日子慢慢接近,

這一陣子我積極的邀家人來米國玩,結果就是發現當導遊真的是不簡單的工作。

去年我爸跟我弟都來過,不過我媽一直不動如山,

為了讓我媽瞭解我在米國絕對沒有花天酒地,只有刻苦耐勞的修業,

今年在我緊迫盯人的戰術之下,我媽終於辦了美簽要來這邊看看。

目前行程安排的差不多了,希望一切順利呀!

Ultra Violence X JoJo's Bizarre Adventure

應該是去年吧,

在網站上看到JoJo讓一家叫「Ultra Violence」的店家要出授權產品,

當時想應該是什麼T Shirt之類的,

而且有很大的機會應該是出系列作知名度最高的人物空条承太郎相關系列先。

20081160719318

我是真的很愛看JoJo,但是要我穿一件印「白金之星」的衣服在街上走,

這麼恥的事我辦不到耶…

嗯?

要出「皇后殺手」的周邊喔?

啊都一樣啦!雖然吉良吉影跟DIO是這部漫畫裡最讚的兩個反派,

但是衣服我應該是不會買的啦!Wrrryyyyyyyy!!!!

哈哈哈哈!(邊暗笑邊點連結)

…領帶?

[硬漢廚房] 自家燒肉

因為除舊佈新的緣故加上加州他媽該死的財政危機造成學費瘋狂上漲,

帳戶數字跟拉肚子一樣一洩千里的狀態下,

最近完全不想離開家裡,也不太想動。

但是飯還是要吃啊!

最懶最方便的吃法就是燒肉了,布置過的客廳總是要關心跟利用一下。

DSC00522

買了豬肉跟牛肉還有香菇,花了我26塊,後來吃到快撐死。

DSC00526 

燈光好氣氛佳呀!

DSC00527

不過實在太油,接下來好一陣子不想碰燒肉了。(旁邊那碗是我家小女人贊助的蒟蒻絲)

升級!!!!

我的前室友在五月底的時候搬走展開他另一階段的新生活,恭喜他。

他搬走之後的整理工作真的是讓我頭痛了好一陣子,

幸好他留了一堆家具,所以我很輕易的找到第二位室友。

 

不過在整理的過程當中我發現一個很大的問題,

就是說…

客廳沒電視。

 

當初我前室友跟我基本上是把客廳當儲藏室在用,

所以當整理出一個像客廳的空間之後才發現這個很嚴重的缺陷,

所以又該敗家了…。

 

 

原本預計是打算買一台中古的映像管電視放客廳就好,

但是看到我房裡的XBOX360就覺得…

DSC00500

 

「把這台放客廳好了」

DSC00516 DSC00517

 

 

「我房間呢,就…」

DSC00501

…

…

 

吱吱

DSC00503

我那天晚餐不應該喝紅酒的,酒後真的會比較衝動,這是人生大道理,嗯。

DSC00504 DSC00505

 

好棒呀!

DSC00515

加四年的延長保固花了我607米金…

 

 

 

 

 

…我終於也有平面電視了,哭哭。

導演是當初導「Miami Vice」的Michael Mann,

演員有 Johnny Depp 跟 Christian Bale,

劇本主軸是傳奇銀行搶匪 John Dillinger 的傳記型電影,

好棒啊!

Woke Up This Morning

Alabama 3 – Woke Up This Morning (The Sopranos Theme)

You woke up this morning
Got yourself a gun,
Mama always said you'd be
The Chosen One.

She said: You're one in a million
You've got to burn to shine,
But you were born under a bad sign,
With a blue moon in your eyes.

You woke up this morning
All the love has gone,
Your Papa never told you
About right and wrong.

But you're looking good, baby,
I believe you're feeling fine, (shame about it),
Born under a bad sign
With a blue moon in your eyes.

You woke up this morning
The world turned upside down,
Thing's ain't been the same
Since the Blues walked into town.

But you're one in a million
You've got that shotgun shine.
Born under a bad sign,
With a blue moon in your eyes.

When you woke up this morning everything you had wasgone.

By half past ten your head was going ding-dong.
Ringing like a bell from your head down to your toes, like a voice telling you there was something you shouldknow.

Last night you were flying but today you're so low - ain't it times like these that make you wonder if you'll ever know the meaning of things as they appear to
the others; wives, mothers, fathers, sisters and
brothers.

Don't you wish you didn't function, wish you
didn't think beyond the next paycheck and the next little
drink' Well you do so make up your mind to go on, 'cos
when you woke up this morning everything you had was gone.

When you woke up this morning,
When you woke up this morning,
When you woke up this morning,
Mama said you'd be the Chosen One.

When you woke up this morning,
When you woke up this morning,
When you woke up this morning,
You got yourself a gun.

Time to Move On

Been two years,

I was not being responsible enough in the past,

through some difficult time,

I knew I deserve that karma.

Mirically, somehow I found another guardian angel willing to be aside by me.

This is another test, but I will not fail this time.

奉天承運

本學期成績今天公布了,

在各種報告的大規模密集轟炸狀態下,萬幸的成果我尚稱滿意。

ISDS 514: A

MGMT 518: B

FIN 570: B+

GPA目前扳到3.17,還有很大的進步空間,一年級修的該死經濟學真的把我害死。

 

這是在米國的最後一個暑假,接下來能不能拼到H-1B或者其他的東西就要衝看看了。

Alone I Break

Korn - Alone I Break




Pick me up
Been bleeding too long
Right here, right now
Ill stop it somehow

I will make it go away
Cant be here no more
Seems this is the only way
I will soon be gone
These feelings will be gone
These feelings will be gone

Now I see the times they changed
Leaving doesnt seem so strange
I am hoping I can find
Where to leave my hurt behind
All the shit I seem to take
All alone I seem to break
I have lived the best I can
Does this make me not a man?

Shut me off
Im ready
Heart stops
I stand alone
Cant be on my own

I will make it go away
Cant be here no more
Seems this is the only way
I will soon be gone
These feelings will be gone
These feelings will be gone

Now I see the times they changed
Leaving doesnt seem so strange
I am hoping I can find
Where to leave my hurt behind
All the shit I seem to take
All alone I seem to break
I have lived the best I can
Does this make me not a man?

Am I going to leave this place?
What is it Im running from?
Is there nothing more to come?
(am I gonna leave this place? )
Is it always black in space?
Am I going to take its place?
Am I going to win this race?
(am I going to win this race? )
I guess gods up in this place
What is it that Ive become?
Is there something more to come?
More to come...

Now I see the times they changed
Leaving doesnt seem so strange
I am hoping I can find
Where to leave my hurt behind
All the shit I seem to take
All alone I seem to break
I have lived the best I can
Does this make me not a man? (x2)

暑假!!!!

在學期成績出來之前,

應該是可以暫時輕鬆一下。

 

 

 

…所以前兩天就是在猛吃猛喝的狀態下渡過。科科。

這幾天是米國的連續假期,也沒什麼計畫出遠門,

就在家裡附近四處晃晃找朋友聯絡感情。

今天一早跑去剪了頭髮,下午就跟朋友去海邊睡了一個下午,

晚上去PUB邊喝啤酒邊悠哉悠哉的看LAKERS跟NUGGETS的季後賽,

(我蠻期待KOBE跟JAMES打冠軍賽這戲碼)

看完比賽之後還太早不想回家,一群人就跑去看Terminator Salvation。

很好!比想像中的好看多了。

 

暑假好耶!

Third World

現在在趕一份FINANCE報告,

主題是肯亞這個非洲國家。

在寫到快吐奶的狀況下,我只好怒聽這首歌。

Immortal Technique (feat. DJ Green Lantern)– Third World

3rd World Motherfucker
 
I’m from where the gold and diamonds are ripped from the earth,
Right next to the slave castles where the water is cursed,
From where police brutality's not half as nice,
It makes the hood in America look like paradise,
Compared to the AIDS infested Caribbean slum,
African streets where the passports an American gun,
From where they massacre people and try to keep it quiet,
And spend the next 25 years tryna deny it,
I’m from where they cut your hands off if you make a fist,
And niggaz throw coca cause the job market doesn’t exist,
Except slave labour modern day company store,
And peacekeepers don’t ever ever ever come here no more,
From where the bombs that they used to drop on Vietnam,
Still has children born deformed 8 months before they gone,
I’m from where they lost the true meaning of the Qur'an,
Cause heroin is not compatible with Islam,
And niggaz know that but grow that poppy seed anyway,
Cause that food drop parachute does not come everyday,
I’m from where people pray to the gods of they conquerors,
And practically every presidents a money launderer,
From where the only place democracy's acceptable,
Is if Americas candidate is electable,
And they might even have a black president but he’s useless,
Cause he does not control the economy stupid!
 

Chorus:
Lock and load your gun where i’m from the 3rd world son,
Been to many places but i’m 3rd world born,
Guerillas hit and run where i’m from the 3rd world son,
You polluted everything and now the 3rd world’s gone.
The water is poison where i’m from the 3rd world son,
700 children died by the end of this song,
Revolution'll come where i’m from the 3rd world son,
Constant occupation leaves the 3rd world torn.
 
I’m from where the Catholic church is some racist shit,
They helped Europe and America rape this bitch,
They pray to white Spanish Jesus who’s face is this?,
But never talk about the black pope Gelasius,
I’m from where Soviet weapons still decide elections/
Militaries like the Mafia you pay for protection/
Catamite sex toys is what the country sells/
And rich white businessmen make the best clientèle/
I’m from where they too pussy to come film Survivor/
And they murder Coca-Cola union organisers/
I’m from where the justice system esta podrido/
Fuck government niggaz politic over perico/
Rebelde conocido, enterado vivo/
Como otro Argentino desaparecido,
Cause RICO laws don’t apply to the CIA,
And motherfuckers make sneakers for a quarter a day,
I’m from where they overthrow Democratic leaders,
Not for the people but for the Wall Street journal readers
From where blacks, indigenous peoples and Asians,
Were once slaves of the Caucasians,
And it’s amazing how they trained them,
To be racist against themselves in the place they was raised in,
You kept us caged in,
Destroyed our culture and said that you civilised us,
Raped our women and when we were born, you despised us,
Gentrified us, agent provocateur divide us,
And crucified every revolutionary messiah,
So i’m a start a global riot,
That not even your fake anti-Communist dictators can keep quiet,
Fuck your charity medicine tryna to murder me,
The immunisations you gave us were full of mercury,
So now I see the 3rd World like the rap game soldier,
Nationalise the industry and take it over.
 

Chorus:
Lock and load your gun where i’m from the 3rd world son,
Been to many places but i’m 3rd world born,
Guerillas hit and run where i’m from the 3rd world son,
You polluted everything and now the 3rd world’s gone.
The water is poison where i’m from the 3rd world son,
700 children died by the end of this song,
Revolution'll come where i’m from the 3rd world son,
Constant occupation leaves the 3rd world torn.

This is not the right timing

昨晚十一點多躺下,

今天早上卻在四點半時一身汗的夢醒過來。

…什麼時候不來偏偏挑現在這個時候開始發作真的很要命。

 

72 hours left and counting.

2009-05-14

這不是YA片

記得以前看電影的時候,

YA片常常有的老梗就是就是一票人很HIGH的熬夜卯起猛K書,

超青春熱血的。

 

 

…真的發生在自己身上就不是那麼回事了啊幹!

話說真的已經期末了,在期末考之前趕報告是非常要命的一件事。

米國人對華人的刻板印象就是:死讀書,書念不完根本就不會發生在華人身上…

 

 

屁啦!!

 

 

前天被修同一堂課的朋友約出去,是說要在交報告前先大家批改一下。

到了現場發現完全不是那麼一回事。

Jason同學:10頁寫完7頁。

Jeff同學:10頁寫完…,總之我們看完他的報告之後決定就叫他Puzzle Fighter了

Shania同學:電話回報10頁寫了5頁。

 

 

 

批改個毛呀!

你們寫不寫得完都是個問題吧媽的!

…完全顛覆米國人對我們的刻板印象,還全都是台灣人是怎樣?!

 

整整奮鬥了一天之後,

Jason:8/10頁

Jeff:…還是在當Puzzle Fighter

Shania:電話回報進度5/10頁…

 

 

嗯,真的不用睡了。

這個狀況下一定得去一個人家裡挑燈夜戰,

Jason:跟家人住。一堆人去熬夜應該馬上就會被趕出去。

Jeff:住太遠。

Shania:房東爹娘來訪,無可能讓我們去開趴…,我是說趕工。

…

…

…

 

 

 

在台面上覆蓋三張「好人卡」結束一回合的狀況下,

我家就多了好多人。

 

凌晨一點,我寫完另一份報告開始當這票人的服務生。

凌晨兩點,Jason趕完收工並同步修改Puzzle Jeff的文章。

凌晨三點,Shania說她十五分鐘後到。

凌晨三點半,Shania說她要出門了。

凌晨四點,Jason把腳踩我床上被我怒斥。

凌晨四點半,發覺Shania的五頁原來是Single Space不是Double Space,因為害我們白緊張一場被我痛斥。

凌晨五點,我決定不管他們先睡去。

凌晨六點,Jason放鳥Puzzle Jeff回家睡覺。我被叫起來當司機載Jason去開車。

凌晨八點,Puzzle Jeff收工。

凌晨九點半,Shania收工。

 

 

 

 

 

下午上課,大家都在發動血輪眼的狀況下把報告交了,可喜可賀。

[硬漢廚房] Cafe Hiro

前一個禮拜二又是依照往例的跟同學去吃飯,

「今天我想吃日本餐廳好了。」

嗯,聽起來不錯。

「天氣可是有點冷…,義大利餐廳也不錯。」

…

呃,在我資料庫裡能滿足這種要求的就是這家Cafe Hiro了。

DSC00136

這是一家Japanese-Italian Fusion,店面不大。

這家店有兩道必點的開胃菜:塔塔牛排跟「掛包」

這道塔塔牛排是將上等的牛排只以大火將牛排表面烤熟,

中間部分仍保持半生到全生的狀態,完全保存住該有的肉汁。

食用時佐以蘿蔔泥、酸醋跟碎蔥。

DSC00138

這道連自認很挑嘴的Shania都讚不絕口。

DSC00140

接下來第二道開胃菜更是讓我這位同學拍手叫好的一道。

它,真的就是「掛包」-小巧可愛的小掛包。

DSC00142

夾的肉是日式叉燒肉,佐以甜麵醬、紫蘇葉、豆苗跟黃芥末。

前菜結束就來主菜啦!

Shania點了鮪魚,基本上我不吃生魚,所以我不知道主角的鮪魚到底好不好吃。

DSC00149

不過我們一致同意醬汁太甜,搶味的狀況蠻嚴重的。

我點的是每次來我都會點的西式鴨肉草菇燉飯。

DSC00146 

是半熟的鴨肉加上味增醬配上草菇燉飯。

味增醬味道真的很足,鴨肉很爽口不是太油,平衡感很好。

…接下來我就被搶了好幾塊鴨肉。(哭哭)

 

 

 

 

 

這家店久久來爽一次是OK的,不能常來。

因為好吃歸好吃,但是這樣四道兩個人得花上快六十塊美金就蠻…。

西線無戰事

昨天教授佛心大發,

把原訂15頁的個人研究報告減少到只要10頁即可收工,

對目前進度到第6頁的我實在聽起來有夠中聽。

另一科10頁報告我也拼到了第6頁左右,可喜可賀。

這兩個禮拜天天脫力的狀況總算可以暫時解除危機,

所以今天宣布停戰一天,明日再戰。科科。
