我的理疗师Lotus是个大老实人,他身材矮小,做事循规蹈矩,小心谨慎,笃信佛教,常参加很多new age的宗教活动,为人简单纯净,是个男同性恋者。那次车祸后,他就给我做身体康复,他待人和善,技艺非常,我们也逐渐成为好友。昨天他给我讲了几件震惊的故事。
原来,自从两年前,因为他诊所周边有几家亚裔按摩店涉嫌色情服务,当地那些傻逼基督徒以有碍街区环境,保护儿童的名义举报了他们,当地政府故意刁难lotus的执照,几次三番以扫黄的借口来突袭他的按摩诊所。
最近,有个便衣女警察以按摩为名义,来他诊所按摩。不一会儿,就有6、7个荷枪实弹的警察闯进门来,把诊所搜查一遍,并要罚款。那个女警察不见了,以工作的名义舒舒服服棣享受了一次免费按摩。之后他被传唤去法庭,才知道他已经被窃听录音很久了。
他的case算是被撤销了,但接下来,警察依然不依不饶,就是存心报复。几次三番冒充顾客,给他电话,企图引他上钩,引诱他说出在家里接待按摩客人。几次三番从税务上严查他。然后又迟迟不发给他执照的更新,让他三个月都无法合法工作。
同是天涯沦落人,忠心祷告lotus逃过这次劫难。
我在想,lotus这样谨慎小心的白人都被这个残酷的社会挤压,那些少数族裔的,有点棱角有点个性的人还不知被怎样折磨呢。
美国越来越不是20年前的美国了,美国正在黑帮化,中国化。可是Lotus 每次都告诉我,看见警车,要为他们祝福。Send blessings to those who harmed you. Peace. 勇敢的心包裹在一个矮小的身体里,因为我们怎样的苦难下,都会快乐地微笑祝福。 - Re: 花好月圆 第三 full moon meposted on 01/18/2010
mint-peppermint and spearmint
喜欢喝薄荷茶,喜欢spearmint,不甚喜欢peppermint,今天买来一盆薄荷放房间里,清心清肺。查wiki才知道孤陋寡闻,竟然又那么多种薄荷,有的是与其他香料杂交出来的。
今天跟Stephen学了地道的英国shepherd pie的做法。不过我最喜欢吃的还是chicken pot pie. 鸡肉只有做成pot pie 或者熬成鸡汤才好吃。一想起从前的鸡汤味道,哎....母亲熬的鸡汤永远是最美味的记忆。

倒霉的西班牙政客
最新的宾拉登照片是FBI从google图片搜索中找出来的。现年52岁的西班牙共产党成员、前议会左翼联盟领袖加斯帕-拉马扎惹斯称,美国联邦调查局绘制的最新拉登照片,是利用了他的头型为基础,并对前额、头发以及下巴等面部特征进行了修改后合成的。拉马扎惹斯愤怒地说,这一错误表明美国情报机构“水平十分低下”,公布的照片没有给拉登的安全带来任何威胁,却对无辜者造成了伤害。
说实在的,52岁的长得像拉登的阿拉伯人数不胜数,google出一个无名小卒甚至特型演员都好。FBI真是混蛋透顶呢。说不定有很多演员想当一回拉登,我就不信好莱坞找不到一个。
这倒霉蛋是共产党员,躲在洞里修炼成精的拉登不知笑破肚皮没。整形技术来个avatar 3D大变身。

昨晚仔细体会歌德的这句话:“一个创作家每年只应读一个莎士比亚的剧本,否则他的创作才能就会被莎士比亚压垮....”去年11月,读完马尔克斯的whore跟纳博科夫的lolita,就想起写《小蒙》。这两位大师也几乎把我压垮了,让我不敢写,不敢动笔。
一段时间读太多经典,一个字都写不出来的。整天都是在“举白旗”,如自立所说的读书就是投降。 Andre Gide said“ Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better.” 文字是个体的,如每个人的ID,身份证,社安卡。纳博科夫的社安卡怎么能跟我一样呢。

女人自强
主流正经媒体比如《世界日报》也说些庸俗恶心人的话,社会新闻报道也常是幸灾乐祸,一副小人嘴脸,抹黑戏谑自己的同胞。
看这则报道:http://news.wenxuecity.com/messages/201001/news-gb2312-997294.html
倒是英文媒体的评论里有人同情这位女子。http://www.asiafinest.com/forum/index.php?s=ada98695f69061f1481de688a43b5528&showtopic=221697&pid=4420347&st=0entry4420347
不知这个女子是否是移民华人。最不该的就是还给他当私人秘书,很少听见,未婚就给人当私人秘书的白人女子。这些地方白人女子就强悍聪明很多。 没结婚就全权包办,把什么事情都揽过来做,这是东方女子常犯的错误。我常看见华人女子“没过门”就帮着收拾洗碗,实在是很不该的事情。
西方文化中,就不会这样把家事与私人感情混杂在一起。这是他们聪明的地方。 女人啊,你们自己要自立自强才好。强势女子千万不能掉进这样的陷阱。
女人在这个世纪依然是弱势的,我们必须面对我们的弱点。弱国如海地,一点灾难就会让强国趁虚而入。女人,只有自救一条路。
再说到中文媒体里的新闻与评论不分,这个是很不专业的。新闻就是新闻,公正,简短、事实、实地采访。而评论,你怎么说怎么戴有色眼镜存有偏见都无所谓。
同样的娱乐八卦性质的报道,对比这个事件的中英文陈述,不难看出中文媒体的专业性还是有很大差距。 - posted on 01/21/2010
Germaine Greer and the Female Eunuch
对父权制度的批判
强调父权制度(Patriarchy)而非资本主义才是妇女受压迫的根源。葛瑞尔(Germaine Greer)在1970年所著的《女太监》(The female Eunuch)一书,认为女性从小在家庭和教育之中开始,就逐渐受到父权制的压抑,逐渐放弃了自主权主动性,成为了一个被“阉割”的人格。米列(Kate Millet)同年的著作《性政治》(Sexual Politics)则强调性即政治,指出父权制度借由夸大男女之间生理的差异,来强化及合理化男人与女人之间的支配与附属的关系(与政治中人和人的关系类似)。载力(Mary Daly)则在几部著作中,对于文化中包括宗教、文学、历史、哲学、社会习俗中所蕴含的父权制度加以批判。

Homance and Bromance
90年代以来,同性之爱也被区分出几个类别,非关性爱的Homance与bromance这两个词也开始出现在流行时尚中。前一个词是姊妹情,后一个是兄弟爱。bromance是bro" and "romance“的合并词,homance的起源大概是一个电视剧,urbandictionary 说:the word originated when Shannon Marsh needed a better word to describe her friendship with Jackie Finn.
现代萨幅女诗人Emily Dickinson与她嫂子Susan的通信也被加上是homance的一个例证。emily 与Susan相识与少女时代,Susan嫁给了她的哥哥,这是否也是有意的呢?她们之间的感情一直保持到Emily死去,Emily烧去了susan给她的一切信件,我想她是为了独自带到坟墓里去的。现在我们只能找到她给susan的信。
Susan跟她哥哥结婚后,家就在隔壁。有趣的是emily的哥哥Austin作为他祖父建立的学校Amherst里的财务主管,与该校教员的妻子发生恋情,是她最先开始整理Emily的诗稿。
这是她的一些homance情诗。
We love men. We just don't want to see them naked.
~ Two Nice Girls
1.
Her breast is fit for pearls,
Bu t I was not a 'Diver' -
Her brow is fit for thrones
But I have not a crest.
Her heart is fit for home-
I - a Sparrow - build there
Sweet of twigs and twine
My perennial nest.
2.
Her sweet Weight on my Heart a Night
Had scarcely deigned to lie -
When, stirring, for Belief's delight,
My Bride had slipped away
If 'twas a Dream - made solid - just
The Heaven to confirm -
Or if Myself were dreamed of Her -
The power to presume -
With Him remain - who unto Me -
Gave - even as to All -
A Fiction superseding Faith -
By so much - as 'twas real
7.
Now I knew I lost her -
Not that she was gone-
But Remoteness travelled
On her Face and Tongue.
Alien, though adjoining
As a Foreign Race
Traversed she though pausing
Latitudeless Place
Elements Unaltered
Universe the same
But Love's transmigration
Somehow this had come
Henceforth to remember
Nature took the Day
I had paid so much for-
His is Penury
Not who toils for Freedom
Or for Family
But the Restitution
Of Idolatry.
8.
Frigid and sweet Her parting Face -
Frigid and fleet my Feet-
Alien and vain whatever Clime
Acrid whatever Fate.
Given to me without the Suit
Riches and Name and Realm-
Who was She to withold from me
Penury and Home?
9.
To see her is a Picture
To hear her is a Tune
To know her an Intemperance
As innocent as June
To know her not - Affliction -
To own her for a Friend
A warmth as near as if the Sun
Were shining in your Hand.

casual sex and women
人口结构以及老龄化是影响社会风气的一个主要因素。六七十年代的革命以及性解放,完全是二战后的新人口(baby boomers)上演的剧目。人们都在期盼着那个时代的回归,但前天的麻州选举,打碎了很多人的梦想。 baby boomers 如今已是60多岁的人了,青春、革命、性解放,都成为过去的词汇了。
By the time a man realizes that maybe his father was right, he usually has a son who thinks he's wrong.
- Charles Wadsworth
现在主流的女性主义理论与研究也转入保守,多处的言论都向年轻一代女性灌输casual sex对女人身心的危害。
比如这些: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/06/080625092023.htm
http://women.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/women/relationships/article1292589.ece
很多人表示,现在渐渐流行的cougar文化,姐弟恋也将是短命的,认为这不过是经济基础影响上层建筑的又一个例证而已。女性解放的前方还是大雾迷茫,路程漫漫。尽管如此,我依然相信今天的女性,engage in casual sex 的比例超过她们的母亲一代,时代毕竟向前,女性是新时代变革的生命力。看这篇振奋人心的写作: http://www.thefrisky.com/post/246-trophy-sex/

我越来越对美国的那些社会调查保有怀疑, 比如这样的调查:
As Professor Campbell explained: “In evolutionary terms women bear the brunt of parental care and it has been generally thought that it was to their advantage to choose their mate carefully and remain faithful to make sure that their mate had no reason to believe he was raising another man’s child. But recently biologists have suggested that females could benefit from mating with many men—it would increase the genetic diversity of their children and, if a high quality man would not stay with them forever, they might at least get his excellent genes for their child.”
Professor Campbell looked at whether women have adapted to casual sex by examining their feelings following a one-night stand. If women have adapted, then although they may take part in casual sex less often than men because of their stricter criteria when selecting partners, they should rate the experience positively. To test the theory, a total of 1743 men and women who had experienced a one-night stand were asked to rate both their positive and negative feelings the following morning, in an internet survey.
Prof Campbell added: “Evolution often acts through positive or negative emotions which draw us towards adaptive behaviours or drives us away from harmful ones. For example, we enjoy other people’s company but get depressed if we spend too much time alone. Basic emotions guide us down pathways that have been advantageous for our ancestors. It seemed obvious that if our female ancestors really were adapted to short–term relationships they ought to enjoy them, just like men do.”
Overall women’s feelings were more negative than men’s. Eighty per cent of men had overall positive feelings about the experience compared to 54 per cent of women. Men were more likely than women to secretly want their friends to hear about it and to feel successful because the partner was desirable to others. Men also reported greater sexual satisfaction and contentment following the event, as well as a greater sense of well-being and confidence about themselves.
The predominant negative feeling reported by women was regret at having been “used”. Women were also more likely to feel that they had let themselves down and were worried about the potential damage to their reputation if other people found out. Women found the experience less sexually satisfying and, contrary to popular belief, they did not seem to view taking part in casual sex as a prelude to long-term relationships.
“What the women seemed to object to was not the briefness of the encounter but the fact that the man did not seem to appreciate her. The women thought this lack of gratitude implied that she did this with anybody,” Professor Campbell explained.
According to Professor Campbell, although women do not rate casual sex positively, the reason they still take part in it may be due to the menstrual cycle changes influencing their sexual motivation. Indeed, during the ovulatory phase (between days 10 to 18 of their cycle), women report increased sexual desire and arousal, with a preference for short-term partners. - posted on 01/21/2010
世界上只有为数很少的希拉里式的女人,世界上的女王也只有那么几位,大多数的女人依然从事着传统的女性职业,扮演着传统的女性社会角色, 男老板多过男秘书,女秘书永远多过女老板,right? 正因为成为领袖、成为杰出女人的概率如此之低,使得大多数的婚恋指导,依然孜孜不倦地在教导女人如何成为优秀的女奴,而不是与男性平等的人。

美国的南方文学
-新奥尔良作家John Kennedy Toole 跟他的《笨蛋一群》 A Confederacy of Dunces
该书是cult文化经典。一本杰出的幽默小说。书名取自Jonathan Swift: "When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this sign, that the dunces are all in confederacy against him."
提到新奥尔良,他在书中说,
"Is it the part of the police department to harass me when this city is a flagrant vice capital of the civilized world?" Ignatius bellowed over the crowd in front of the store. "This city is famous for its gamblers, prostitutes, exhibitionists, anti-Christs, alcoholics, sodomites, drug addicts, fetishists, onanists, pornographers, frauds, jades, litterbugs, and lesbians, all of whom are only too well protected by graft."
幽默大师往往是那些生活最多磨难最不如意的人。 Toole的书一直得不到出版,与强势的母亲相处也常发生困扰,32岁就抑郁自杀。

星期五晚上最娱乐的八卦新闻是有关奥巴马的经济高参Charles Phillips的丑闻。Philips的前女友Wilkins 在纽约的时代广场,三藩市以及亚特兰大显眼位置分别贴出巨幅海报,将他们八年半的同居生活曝光。 而他一直在跟她讲,他已经离婚!直到去年,她才开始怀疑他离婚的真实性。
It wasn't his mistress that tech titan Charles Phillips was keeping secret -- it was his wife!
美国各大主流媒体极力渲染调侃这出现代“美狄亚”剧本的华彩部分。 这个花边想必是保守派们求之不得等待多时的好事。 政治、媒体、好莱坞选秀节目,合成一个交响乐队,舞台上是训练有素的演员。
民主党与共和党成为两大经济势力的代言人,民主党代言高科技、新兴中小企业;共和党代言石油、钢铁、汽车、食品等物资产业。传统制造业被分割。前模特麻州参议员scott brown的获胜再次明显地表示了,政客只不过是舞台前漂亮的明星,真正的政治势力决斗早在后台决定了。
Wilkins选择报复的时间也恰到好处,没有选在让女人哭哭啼啼掉眼泪的情人节,而是选在奥巴马阵营受挫,民意最低谷的时候,并且帅哥philips的公司Oracle这个星期准备用7.5billion收购Sun的股份。这个消息无疑会引起oracle的股价跌宕,自然也会让philips的收入缩水。一个精心设计的漂亮报复从名誉上,政治前途上,经济上狠狠地打击了忘情的情人。
看来,这又应验了剑客的“爱情如玩命”的说法。 在情场上出手如此泼辣玩命,这个女人该去玩玩政治的。细看这个女人的投入/产出比例,成本低,收效大,这场情场厮杀,她大获全胜。
政客如赌徒,男人赌名利,女人赌爱情家庭,她们用名誉生命赌爱情。很多女人是输得精光的,赚得钵满盆满的寥寥无几,大多的几乎是小赢小赚,或者只去看戏不下赌注的游客。
有个征婚者在征婚广告中发牢骚,说这dating跟las vegas一样,他们只登那些中大彩的,而那些输得精光的,只有在娱乐丑闻中读到,比如这个说得蛮精彩:
Yavaughnie Wilkins has become the epitome of famous saying, “Hell has no fury than a woman scorned” when a woman want to degrade you no one can protect you and even gods seem helpless when their mistresses scorned at them in Greek Mythology.
Yavaughnie Wilkins has given new meanings to vengeance and even Kill Bill storywriters will feel themselves naïve for not catching the heights a woman can achieve when she ventures on her vengeance ride. - Re: 花好月圆 第三 full moon meposted on 01/23/2010

我一面写作,一面听着厨房里的锅盘叮当响,给我洗碗作清洁的是我的男仆拉里。他正在冲洗我的浴室跟厨房。 他水槽里的碗碟的响声让我快乐。我闭上眼睛,讲耳朵里的听到的变成手上的乐谱,他是作曲家拉里,他每个星期来一次,他说来帮我做家务是他的禅。
是,我让傲慢的作曲家拉里给我洗碗。 当一个女人对所有存在的男性都失去兴趣后,唯一让我快乐的是我的男仆。 他是我的骑士,我的司机,我的清洁工,我的护士,我最亲密的伙伴。
白天,屋外是灿烂阳光,屋里是明净整洁,我听着拉里最近写的电影配乐。吵嚷的市井在外面,神在用我的笔昭显他的奇迹,我的键盘快乐,我的灵魂快乐无边。
清晨,我的字更加流畅,常感到字自己动作写下篇章。滞涩的黑暗过去了,沉重如铅的身体开始灵巧。我的人物开始在我的房间进出自如,这都是我的拉里带来的新能量。
他若是闹情绪,若是叛逆,我就鞭他,用锅铲拍他的脸颊,让他脱光衣服,把头伸进马桶,把马桶盖子盖在他头上让他窒息。我用皮革的板子或者鞭子抽打他的后背跟屁股,直到他哀求。
我们就这样相处和谐,拉里让我快乐进天堂。 - Re: 花好月圆 第三 full moon meposted on 01/24/2010
今天的重大新闻是Bin Laden claims airline bomb attempt on Christmas。我的第一个直觉就是,这拉登别是跟美国政府玩双簧,糊弄我们老百姓吧。美国国内有一点风吹草动,他拉登就出来了。右派们趁民主党败阵的时候,乘胜追击,让拉登出来表演一下,让他们的国内监控更加合法,让我们的世界旅行者们受更多的盘查,全都是以爱国的名义!
我一直觉得拉登是CIA的人,是故意放在那里给他们出兵阿富汗以及伊拉克作借口的,派去阿富汗的兵根本不是去寻找拉登的,而是去占领、控制中亚战略要地的。

1. 看到太多bad writer的文字发表了。他们还自以为是,因为他们比我相信自己。自己的故事总比复述别人的理论更经得起时间。
2. i really have some important messages to pass on.
现代音乐、艺术、文学的审美角度是跟古典有显著区别的。最近一个艺人朋友总结他的创作说了一段这样的话:
My gods/goddess are buffoons and flawed characters trying to overcome obstacles. Sometimes they succeed... sometimes they don't. Sometimes we laugh at them in their efforts... sometimes we cry.
我该是他说的这个Goddess. 若之是搞评论的,对“anti hero”该是非常了解的。
我们生在这样一个伟大的变革时代,每天周围这样多美妙丰富的新创作,想着都会心跳了。这十年天翻地覆的旧貌新颜,从前的贵族沦落为破落户,从前的乞丐成为殿堂里的新贵,这样吵嚷拥挤、残缺破损、加速运动的世界,与之精确完美搭配的就是这样一些音乐。
我离群索居,也能跟这样的脉搏震荡一起跳舞。
