早一排，我曾經跟短成一起回處收集人們對愛的看法。「Love is...?」回數到的答案如下：
love is eat
love is lick
(這兩個是我們自己玩野的)
love is power
love is love
love is proud
love is 包含 <-- 含WHAT?
love is 偉大
love is 包容, 體諒!!
love is a high-level survival "instinct" for social animals
love is without an answer
love is tolerate, trust, communication and understanding
好像沒有收到一個答案是Love is forever。
張學友唱的是「愛是永恆」，但留意在歌詞中是有補充的，要「當所愛是你」。愛，通常都不是永恆，是conditional forever，有條件地永恆。但我們最喜歡用永恆去包裝起愛，而事實上愛通常都不是永恆的。我認為，把愛跟時間拉上必然關係是絕對地不可能的。這是基本的哲學，如果你對一個人的愛是由零開始建立出來，那麼它變回零是絕對有可能，至於從事實上會否回到零這一點，看的是客觀條件。
如果你不相信靈魂，那麼人的情感與其他感觀一樣，是大腦因應激素而作出的化學作用，那麼，我相信那絕對是會有變化及高底起伏的，而這對某個人而出現的化學作用亦不會是一出生便存在的，而是因某客觀條件而催化你腦部有這一種反應，同樣，很有可能會有同樣的客觀條件去銷減這一種反應。
而且，這是有必要的。如果愛必然是永恆，當你愛上一個不愛你的人，學陳百祥話齋：「呢獲你仲唔磡家鏟？」
因此，不要強求愛是永恆(永恆其實是否指沒有開端也沒有極束？如是，跟本不用再談，這世上必然沒有永恆的愛)。永恆的愛來自的不是愛的本質，不是永恆的仍然是愛。便一愛自開端以後變得恆常的，是來自人的思想、性格及行動。你要愛是永遠的，單用情感是不可靠的，你必要用理智的頭腦及責任感去使一段愛情變得可永恆。
又一談我最喜歡的Triangular Theory of Love，熱情、親密及承諾，任何一項短缺都不是完整的愛，如果愛是有缺憾(得好離譜)的話，為甚麼要把它持續到永遠？
對，我的看法是，愛是永恆，當愛是完滿，當你是清醒而理智，當你付上應付的責任，當你沒有戴上不理智的永恆枷鎖。
在強烈的愛慾中保持理智，的確不易。當然，你做個大情聖，見一個愛一個，個個都永恆，這又是另一回事。一般黎講這問題應先不要談永恆，要談的倒頭變回了愛的定義。一般來講，通常跟比較直腸直肚的朋友，我們私底下都不叫這「愛」，我們喜歡叫這做「鳩痕」。
Who wants to live forever?
Who dares to love forever? When love must die...

You can't stay in here all day dreaming about heroin...and Ziggy Pop
Diane: The world's changing. Music's changing. Even drugs are changing. You can't stay in here all day dreaming about heroin...and Ziggy Pop.
Mark: It's lggy Pop.
Diane: Whatever. I mean, the guy's dead anyway.
Mark: Iggy Pop is not dead. He toured last year. Tommy went to see him.
Diane: The point is, you've got to find something new.
Quote from Trainspotting(1996)
Yea, who still fucking cares Iggy Pop, even in 1996.
And now, it's 2008. I'm going to be 27 in a week.
The Drugs has been changing, now we don't talk about LSD anymore.
Who wants to remain the same? You are 27 now, the moment to be a sweet neighborhood bloke has passed and now you should pretend smart, pursuit a fucking career and try hard to be suckcess. You have to be strong and you need to be strong. Make it clear to your family, your friends, your mate and your love, you are a fucking smart guy that know stuff and don't be shy to step up and teasing on anyone close to you just to show them you are the smarter. And please make sure you bring some cash back home and going to bring more and more cash and someday you will bring 10 times the money each of your bringing.
True love? Fuck that. These days are too fast for true love. Now we are talking about having the best person to marry. If you ain't that kind of person, then you are fucked. Think about it, who dares to love forever? huh?(thx Brian)
Music Fan Rule number one. Don't tell the girls you are listening to the nobody-caring Ziggy or Iggy Pop. Come on, it's The New Order, what's the point to talk about the dead man Ian Curtis? There's no Joy Division anymore. Who the fuck is Iggy Pop? We are talking about Mika! Don't be stupid to let people know that you are an old bastard caring those old bastards. We are not talking about who's great, the point is we just care about who is now the man. The man, the man, the man.
Being emotionally and sentimentally inmature is no good. Learn to forget, wanker. If you can forget about love, why not the fucking worthless rock music?

Woman, you think you're a champ but girl...
If liking this song is a sufficient reason for a man to be hated by all the women, stop trying to hate me and hate me. Woman, you think you're a champ but girl you ain't nothin' but a raw ramp. Yea, you make love just like a woman, but break just like a little girl.(Dylan is overrated?? he is fucking underrated!)
Being naturally immature, naive as a kidult to me is more natural than pretending mature with building up a adequate image just to raise your eyebrows. Come on, you know a shit, what's the point to pretend knowing something? You're a chick, what's the point to pretend glamorous and elegant with spending all your cash on you appearance? If self pride have to be obtained by taunting anyone and the looking of anything, you're a loser, a wanker, and probably an asshole too.
I respect all the women with the real intelligence and wisdom to neglect gender, to be rational and to be subjective, but not a look smart, achieving woman who value the world with her own irrational standard and being arrogant. Gender discrimination is dumb, but ladies, it goes both ways. Girl Power? Pow lee lo mo!
(No, it's all about personal bad mood, i'm not pointing my finger to anyone, but it's more than welcome to check and number and take your seat.)

甲賀忍法帖 一
從無線播映動畫版以來，我就對這一部作品產生了一種消磨不掉的興趣。(日本戰國、幻術、妖物、血腥、軟色情、武將，對，我要的差不多都有了)。但，興趣歸興趣，電影、動畫、漫畫卻也一直是問津無門 — 與其說問津無門，不如說不夠方便。總之，我一直搜索及閱讀其各媒體版本的資料，但作品本身卻是一直沒有接觸過。
昨晚，終於在偶然間看到其中譯小說，自不然要買下來一看。兩晚加一個上午，拿起放下，很快就把這八十多元消磨去掉。
事實上，不得不欣賞作者的鋪排及情節發展之巧妙。事實上各忍者的忍術及情節發展的環環相扣，細節之中稍稍不同，故事的發展可能就全然不一樣。然而，歷史談的不是細節，是大勢，即使其中一名忍者的忍術稍稍更動，相信故事的結局也不會有大改變，即使不用跟從竹千代成為繼任人的史實所羈絆，從彈正與阿幻瞬間便結束了的死鬥結果看來，弦之介跟朧的結局跟本無從改變。
結局的安排，是來自甲賀與伊賀之間的背景，忍術改變得到的，是其中的發展，而最終殊途必終同歸。
也想一說，基於從未正式看過動畫版本，但卻讀過不少有關資料及動畫迷的評語，也不妨一說小說與我之前印象上的落差。
第一個要談的是藥師寺天膳。此人是作品中的最後波士，從大家評語中是極惡之人，兇殘、陰險、奸詐……但從小說看來，天膳的面目看起來，卻是最接近反英雄的人物。通常作為最後波士的角色，也是因利慾薰心的情況下，作出了對義理極相違背的事情，此為極惡之人的必然性。但在小說中，我倒看到他由此到終都一直為伊賀的勝利出力，與同伴是於同一陣線的，而只不過性格相對上比較殘忍、不仁及好色。於連首領朧都想去強暴一事，這當然是個人道德修為上的最劣等，但從大義上，這「為族捐精」的行為倒也算是講得通，而如果真如他所說，如此一姦後，朧便會對弦之介死心，這一姦聽起來是值得的。(當然，那傢伙那有如此偉大，絕對是想過一過癮而已，但這一幕在動畫版看來也談得上是經典，非色情類動畫竟有正面清楚地看到清純的女主角被奸人搓揉乳房兩秒的特寫，簡直是奇觀)至於借機想上陽炎，就更是下三濫的小奸淫邪，非大奸大惡。而不迅殺陽炎而是把她慢慢折磨，在作者強調不用善悲的忍者世界就更不見其惡，殘忍不是必然嗎？
總之，藥師寺天膳不如想像中大邪大惡，反像個有小聰明的好色無賴，雖然行事下流犯上，外表頗具邪氣，但心中仍是沒有為一己私慾而背叛大原則的真小人(最多為一己私慾按本子行事之餘撈一點油水)。
另一名有跟原先想像不同的，是如月左衛門。本來想像中，如月左衛門是一個相對正面的角色，冷靜而又有智慧，擅於把形勢與偽裝術巧妙混合的人。事實上，智取卷軸、殺朱絹都可看到這一方面。然而，在截擊夜叉丸時的狼狽(如非霞刑部同往)、輕易被低級騙術調虎離山或錯失關鍵資訊(太粗心了)、偶爾的得意嗤笑等，也都使如月左衛門的形象不其然下降。誠然，他的易容後的隨機應變也非常精彩，對形勢的運用也非常得宜，但這也相比像一個老奸巨多於大智者。
總之，如月左衛門好像不是想像中既聰明又有智慧的上等角色。
小說在情節上的安排出色，由德川下令到傳送卷軸、伊賀佔了先機到甲賀扭轉形勢、由弦之介入伊賀到離開伊賀、再由萬谷及鄂隱的作戰到經東海道向駿府出發上的戰鬥，故事脈絡清晰而且發展自然而又出人意表。但個人的心理描寫不多，個別角色的發展及個性及相對不明顯，即使可能是殺敵的主力，也有一點像身懷絶世忍術的殺人機器。不論弦之介及朧兩名主角，感覺上心理描寫得比較好的應該是陽炎，而性格突出的有很可愛的鵜殿丈助。或許是人物描寫得不細緻，感覺上動畫版時，被砍掉雙手的螢火在臨死前，伸手去抓夜叉丸的幻象那一幕，比小說版似乎來得更悽美了。小說中螢火除了看到如月左衛門假扮的夜叉丸時的溫暖，以及看到假蓑念鬼時丟下的狠話外，其餘時間亦無表現出其對夜叉丸之死應有的感受。(動畫版的甲賀忍法帖似乎是製作水準頗高的一部)
這是一點小小的感受而已。十對十的戰鬥，或許要詳細描寫的話，這$84就未必會如此快就消磨掉了。

Baby, I Love You
Just make it straight.
Personally I'm quite a cynic and paranoid who always think too much. I may have too much 'rules' or 'theories' about music, or maybe love. I love to think and all i have is my love of love to think(thx, bowie). When you ask me what is rock music, what is love, or what makes a piece of rock song classic or what makes me fall in love, I can easy response with 7979 words to explain what it's on my mind.
But it doesn't mean I'm a complicated person.
I'm always a shallow straight forward guy when it comes to feeling. Pop idols? I hate it. Rock music? I love it. Music which could make you look cool and smart and moody without actually have to understand what it is? I fucking hate it.
Yes, I love easy music. Powerful? Good! Energetic? Great! Love Song?...Wait, you think I'm gonna fuck it all up? Sorry, I'll be disappointing you.
The problem is not producing a love song, never. The problem is the pop idol sing a fucking fake love song with a fucking fake attitude and got the cash and pretending talented and calling themselves an artist. Pop idol my arse.
I love this song very much. Straight forward, pretty, easy, dumb but not stupid(fuck the fucking pretenders...I mean i think i'll like The Pretenders, the band with an amazing vocal, a girl...mmm, a lady......I'm now pointing my finger to those stupid pretenders...you know what i mean?).
"What is love anyway?" maybe somehow we should just give a simple answer, like this song, "Baby, I Love You", by The Ramones, the father of punk without making any commercial success but long live in history and people's memory, and the piece is produced by the legendary Phil Spector, this version is a cover of his old composition.

The day the rock music die
The day the rock music die is the day that pop music means nothing to people anymore. Rather than something important to your personal philosophy or ideology, pop music is just a dispensable entertainment which means you never care you are listening to some shits.
Music can provide excitement and entertainment. When we are talking about music is something more than excitement and entertainment, do you ever care what your are listening to and do the stuff that you are listening to make you use your brain and do you think it could ever change you as a person or even change your life?
"Bollock."
Fuck the pop idols.
