2007/7/19 无厘头足球
“只要打平，就能出线。”－－中国队
“只有打赢，才能出线。”－－乌兹别克斯坦队
谁出线，谁出局，似乎在几个字的变化当中表露无疑了。
女人男人
有些女人是矛盾综合体，明明怕疼到连验个血都哭哭啼啼，可是却常常在虚荣与潮流间屈服，痛并“高挑”着。于是高跟鞋应运而生，让女人矛盾到底。
有些男人也是矛盾综合体，明知矛盾的女人追不得，却还偏偏心甘情愿迎难而上，直至满头灰尘。于是刮胡刀被发明了出来，专门削削男人的锋芒与锐气。
中国的蝙蝠洋人的狗
蝙蝠，就是西方文化中嗜血的Vampire。狗，就是中国文化中讨好低贱的奴才命。
可是风水轮回，西洋犬成了忠贞老实的象征；而在中国的蝙蝠，也因偕着“福”的音，把嗜血多年的形象给平反了。
有两样东西可以多吃
1. 吃苦
2. 吃亏
也有两样东西别给别人吃
1. 吃豆腐
2. 吃黄连 （特别是别给哑巴吃）
医院与牢房
住医院的ER与住牢房的死刑犯关押室其实没什么本质上的区别。一个在你身上动动刀子，然后剥去手套，宣布死亡时间； 一个在你身上练练枪法，然后弹壳落地，宣布世界和平。
还是医院
最贵的拍照不是照相馆的婚纱照，而是医院里的CT影射。所以，以抢银行为业的人，应该转个业，改抢CT柜台吧（请勿模仿）。
没头没脑
如果你看到了这里，那我就恭喜你获得了没头没脑的感觉。 2007/7/18 北京地铁若是一个人, 能用眼睛听, 耳朵说, 嘴巴嗅, 鼻子感觉, 而又能用触觉看见的话, 他/她的世界一定蛮新鲜的。
地铁
我终日进出地铁, 最开始是一号线, 后来是环线、13号线倒，在后来，我只坐13号线。
早晨的我总是昏昏欲睡，在13号线的座位上打着盹。我无法用眼睛去观察（
 ），于是练就了我其他的感官。嗅 － 空气绝对是判断车子里有多挤的标准之一。有时，缺氧的感觉一瞬间袭来，接下来就是新洗的衣服味、古龙水味与鲜“榨”的汗水味一起发酵，然后“蒸蒸日上”的古怪味道。
感 － 膝头被什么人撞了一下，原因不是急刹车没扶好就是又有n人挤进了这个沙丁鱼罐头。头轻轻地向旁边倾斜，一点一点，犹如被精密的齿轮所控，然后突然大跌（比熊市还快），碰上邻座人的肩头，又瞬间回到直立的圆点。打盹的人周而复始地活动着他们的头颅，直至目的地快到时，懵醒过来，起身准备下车，对自己的头与别人的肩亲密接触的点点滴滴仿佛毫无记忆。
听 － iPod一路再开多大，周杰伦再怎么一路向北，地铁都是一路吵闹。铁轨滋哇声、广播正经声、“什么什么你大声点儿”的手机声、“你TM挤什么挤”的大爷声、“行行好”的乞讨声，声声入耳啊。
2007/7/17 不用在意重新动笔，是需要很大勇气的。
我希望我的博客是我自己的东西，不用在意别人是否在一旁注视。
我承认，我的中文水平退步地很厉害，真是对不住原来的恩师们，尤其是菜花和老黄。
很久不上网，不联系同学，不聊MSN，然后再突然回到故地，匆忙地追赶着四年前就离开了月台的时光列车。我，还赶得上吗？
总还是一个乐观向上的人，中国教育的“完美”model。心里觉得总有一份默契，会让我们在路上的哪站偶遇。
北京，我回来很久了。 2006/7/10 意大利----擦干巴乔的眼泪球王贝利三十年的乌鸦嘴的坏名声终于在今天的世界杯决赛中得到了洗刷... 意大利在点球大战中以5比3击败法国,在24年后再尝世界杯冠军的喜悦,也擦干了巴乔94年痛失点球后的眼泪.
由于卫冕冠军巴西八进四的失利,我把目光转向了我一直喜爱却又曾经让我失望掉泪的意大利队. Toni, Totti, Del Piero这些"老"名字唤起我很多的回忆,很多从10岁到16岁当球迷看球的回忆: 我在小学同学录上"最崇拜/喜欢的人"一栏中就写得就是Del Piero的名字; 半夜起来看意甲尤文图斯的比赛; 98世界杯看德国战车的长传冲吊,看荷兰橙色军团的进攻式足球,看巴拉圭的神奇门将(一下子想不起他的名字了...); 有一阵关注过孙继海在曼城的比赛,但更多时候因为欧文和小贝而看利物浦和曼联; 02年在朝外从逃晚自习在音乐教室看球被生活老师逮个正着儿到与朋友们名正言顺地在阶梯教室看中国对巴西...
自从我03年来美国后,足球就从我的世界中退了出来. 足球在美国受欢迎的程度实在是不能与橄榄球,棒球和篮球相提并论. 最贴切形象的例子就是"football"这个词在其他英语国家都是足球的意思,可偏偏在美国"football"只能让人想到充满身体碰撞的橄榄球,即美式足球. 我在Houston的时候看了两年火箭,等到上了大学后学会了看橄榄球--看着自己学校的橄榄球队由Vince Young的带领下拿到05年全美大学橄榄球比赛的总冠军. 好象这三年来只有一次看到了真正的足球--05年的联合会杯--还是一个朋友从网上下载刻了盘给我看的.
直到这次德国世界杯,我才又重拾足球,重温它曾带给我的无限乐趣. 虽然这次美国是全程直播,但跟NBA季后赛类似,大部分比赛是在需要有Cable才能接受到的ESPN频道播出. 我住的家没有Cable,所以只好在西班牙语频道(德州有很多墨西哥裔)看Spanish版本的世界杯. 看球却没有了评论员的指指点点(其实当然是我自己不懂Spanish)对我来说可是第一次,但这反而需要我自己观察分析球场上发生的很多事情,让我受益匪浅. 最有意思的是西班牙语频道的评论员是我"听"到过的说话最快的,嗓门最大的,声音变化最夸张的,每当进球时,只看屏幕上"!GOL!"字闪烁,背景声音是评论员长达半分钟的"GOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL"...
今天的比赛唯一让我心寒的是齐丹在加时赛110分钟的冲动之举. 足球比赛头球可取,故意以头顶对方球员的腹部决不可取. 很多人都为齐丹辩护说那一定是Materazzi恶语中伤自找的,可Zidane是法国队队长,是三届世界足球先生,是制造意大利门前险情频频的法国队灵魂人物,这样的事情做了只留下一辈子的悔恨. 他足球生涯的句号就这样画上了?
世界杯就这样画上了句号. 我是否又要暂别足球直到2010的南非吗? 希望不是吧. 无论怎样,足球已化为我的本性的一部分,就算分别也不怕失去. 其实什么不都是这样,当我们所在乎的人和事与我们合一了,化为一体了,就算分别也不怕失去.
我爱足球,我爱世界杯. 2006/5/16 今天放了假终于考完试了! 爽死了!
周日忙了一整天,我才从学校搬家回到HOUSTON. 走时真是有恋恋不舍的感觉, 因为这一年有许许多多事情发生在这个校园--我的校园. 同年的朋友问:"你相信我们大学的第一年已经上完了吗?" 我和她对视了一下,然后不约而同地摇了摇脑袋. 当这个暑假过完, 听惯说惯了Freshman的我要改口称自己为Sophomore了, 随之而来的又会是什么呢?
考前考后这些天, 我参加了一个国际性会议(15th World Congress on Information Technology), 两个结婚周年纪念, 还有好几次别的活动. 在汇集世界各地IT商界人士的WCIT中, 我听到了世界精英对IT及人性发展未来展望; 在两个结婚周年纪念的活动中, 我看到了神圣而又甜蜜的两个人之间的爱情; 在其他的几次活动中, 无论是Longhorn Life's End of the Year Event或是与几个朋友在家里看电影, 我都感受到了友情在其中的孕育与成熟. Nelson Chou曾经这样告诉我: "...I used to only study and study back in my school years. When I started working, I realized I hardly used anything I learnt from school. These things are quite short-livedl however what will last for eternity is your relationship with peopole. Treasure the people around you and your relationship with them" 我觉得我终于在这个学期末找到了一个应有的平衡.
今天放了假, 有一种很不一样的感觉. 大学第一年画了个句号, 是时候我来翻开生命中新的一页了.
2006/3/24 LeaderShape--F4: Free, Fun, Food and Friendship...九天的春假就这样结束了...
校园又回复了往日的喧闹与忙碌. 我也不能再懒散地沉浸在我的最爱"Grey's Anatomy"电视剧中了. 大概没有什么人愿意这么快就重返校园, 但每人不愿意的原因却又是千奇百怪. 我的原因是"LeaderShape".
LeaderShape是一个发掘和训练大学生领导才能的机构. 它与全美七十多所高校合作, 旨在塑造心中怀有"机会, 梦想, 人际关系, 行动, 诚信, 社区和积极变化"的未来领袖. 在百事公司的赞助下, 我和另外四十多个商学院的学生得以在这次春假中参与完全免费的LeaderShape六日营. 六天下来, 我对自己,对别人,对社区,对世界上热门的事件和被遗忘的角落,对自己真正的激情与梦想作了很多思考, 也对我今后想要的生活和想做的事情画出了草图.
这两年在美国的学习生活给了我很多启迪, 也引发了我无限的思考. 中美的教育之间究竟有什么不同? 我不敢乱讲, 只举一个小小的例子. 我12岁的时候迷上了足球, 初中一年级每周周日与家属院里的小孩子大孩子男孩子女孩子们踢球. 我曾一度想接受正式的训练, 成为下一代的"铿锵玫瑰". 可惜我的梦想被"只有学习才有出路"的大众理念所打碎, 我也被精心地制造成了"社会有用人才"之一. 我不明白为什么孩子们只可以成为"科学家"或是"CEO"而不可以成为慈善机构的负责人或是服务社区的志愿者. 我在"LeaderShape"中"众里寻她千百度"的梦想就建立在这个"不明白"上; 事实上, 我希望可以在中国设立一个类似于LeaderShape Institute的以人为本教育机构, 而我能有一大帮接受过特殊培训的"老师"(我希望每一位读者--我的朝外同学们, 我的美国同学们以及所有志同道合的朋友们都能来支持我
 )和更多想乘梦想飞翔的孩子们(中学及大学生为主)一起合作寻梦.我知道我的梦想有很多很实际的困难, 但我特别希望我能得到大家的支持和合作. 我希望我的孩子们可以做他们心里所愿所好所热切的事情,可以成长在一片放飞自己放飞未来的蓝天下.
You are the change you want to see in this world -- 甘地 2006/2/27 Emergency Called Off...Not Ricin After AllJust want you guys and gals to know that I am PERFECTLY safe and healthy, and according to the latest news, the white substance found in my dorm is not Ricin or any other toxics. As I said earlier in my blog, I actually felt SAFER because everyone here is trying his/her best to ensure all the residents of my dorm (of course, including me) to be 100% safe and healthy.
Too much drama for the weekend...
I did have a very exciting weekend even if the evacuation hadn't had happened. I went to Asian American Campus Ministry's Talent Show 2006 this Saturday night, and I just can't quite describe with my limited words how AWESOME the show is!!! The theme of the show is EvolUTion (FYI: UT is my school's name), and it is interpreted as "the process in which individuals and communities change into a different and more complex form in pursuit of God's character and work". It fits perfectly what this ministry is about, and gving "Evolution" a brand-new Christian definition is truly creative.
I had my co-ed intramural basketball game with my team AACM "Heffalumps" at 4:30pm this Sunday. Luke and I were actually playing against each other at this game, which I didn't have any idea till I saw him on the court :p Luke's team "Hoops" (I think that's what it is called) is really good. The girls really contributed a lot of points to the team, but we did a superb job messing up their bball strategies. It was a very tough game, but we won at last by two points. So we are 2-1 in the division, and if we could win next Sunday, we are going to the playoff! Go Heffalumps!!!
I want to end this blog by chanting my team's chant:
"Heffas, you know, what you gonna do,
You gotta rock with the white, and roll with the blue!" 2006/2/26 Ricin in My Dorm Building -- 篦麻毒素离我仅一步之遥Moore-Hill (my dorm name) has made it name known to the multitude by an ricin incident Thursday, Feb. 23rd, 2006.
Related News Links:
http://www.dailytexanonline.com/ (this one has TONS of EXCITING pictures... sadly most of us, the residents of Moore-Hill, didn't get the chance to eyewitness the scene)
http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/02/25/UT.ricin/index.html (CNN news, my personal favorite news source... but i found an inaccurate account quoting from a school official, who said all the residents were moved to another dorm... darn it! where am i writing this blog??? in my dorm room!!!)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ricin#In_Austin.2C_Texas (my favorite online encyclopedia, very up-to-date... the incident of Moore-Hill is already in the article about Ricin)
Check those links out! I personally learnt a lot about this potentially biological weapon.
Let me just recap what I experienced on this while incident:
This was Friday, Feb. 24th, 2006. I came back from AACM just then, and was talking on Skype with a friend when someone fiercely knocked on the door. The knocking continued down the hall, and we were told that everyone needed to leave the room and go to Jester Auditorium immediately. The whole building was evacuated at 11:32pm. 21st street in front of my dorm was completely blocked by police cars. When I got to the auditorium, I was surprised by the huge number of people evacuated from my dorm... I didn't see more than half of them :p Anyways, that's a side point. People from the Health Service, Austin police department, etc. gave all of us a briefing on what was going on in Moore-Hill (most of us had no idea at this point why we were evacuated) and answered questions from the students. It was awe-stricking to know how serious and responsible everyone was in dealing with this toxic called Ricin (I guess since U.S. has always been having terrorist threats or attacks, this Ricin incident was a serious issue for everyone involved to know) and how concerned and educated a lot of students were to ask questions. I was very impressed by how all the people reacted towards ths issue.
The investigation continued till 1:15am (I called it "CSI: Austin"), and the girls who lived on the second floor and the guys who lived in the basement could finally go back to their rooms (the FBIs, members from the department of hazardous materials, and many other investigators especially investigated these two areas because the girl who discovered the toxic had lived on the 2nd floor, did her laundry in the 1st flr laundry room, and so on).
Just now... yes, just fifteen minutes ago, me and my roomie wanted to go downstairs from the middle staircase of Moore-Hill, but it was yellow-taped and blocked. Three or four fire engines parked aside and a lot of investigators going in and out through the middle gate. I don't know if there is any new change going on, but for now, this is my latest story.
Let me add some pictures taken just now... to give you a sense of what happened...
By the way, I am very safe and healthy, and there should not be any concern about that :) 2006/2/19 Valentine's Day or Single Awareness DayI love the phrase "Single Awareness Day" as an alternative for "Valentine's Day"...
2005/11/26 感动中...网上遇黄烨, 得诗一首, 读后无语, 被感动得一塌糊涂...
The furthest distance in the world
The furthest distance in the world Is not between life and death But when I stand in front of you Yet you don’t know that I love you
The furthest distance in the world Is not when I stand in font of you Yet you can’t see my love But when undoubtedly knowing the love from both Yet cannot be together
The furthest distance in the world Is not being apart while being in love But when plainly can not resist the yearning Yet pretending you have never been in my heart
The furthest distance in the world Is not pretending you have never been in my heart But using one’s indifferent heart To dig an uncrossable river For the one who loves you
世界上最遥远的距离
世界上最遥远的距离，不是生与死 而是我就站在你的面前，你却不知道我爱你
世界上最遥远的距离，不是我站在你面前，你却不知道我爱你 而是明明知道彼此相爱，却不能在一起
世界上最遥远的距离，不是明明知道彼此相爱，却不能在一起 而是明明无法抵挡这股想念，却还得故意装作丝毫没有把你放在心里
世界上最遥远的距离，不是明明无法抵挡这股想念，却还得故意装作丝毫没有把你放在心里，而是用自己冷漠的心对爱你的人掘了一条无法跨越的沟渠
2005/9/2 2nd Day in UT AustinSorry I have to write in Eng. again. I find it more time-efficient to write in Eng., so plz bear with me and my writing.
Economics prof. is an awesome guy called Daniel Hamermesh. Quoting from him, if money is not scare, time is. And needless to say, he is absolutely right!!! Now I realize I have been assigned reading after reading due less than one week from now, and three or maybe four out of all five of my classes involve some sort of diversity, society, or morals, which means I've got whole lot to read and digest over this three-day weekend (in the U.S., we have next Mon. off b/c it's Labor Day that day).
Eye-catching Scene:
First of school, I went out fourty minutes before class to get a supplemental reading book from a copy-&-printing place, and I was absolutely STUNNED by the scene I saw around the crossing of Speedway and 21st St.. It was like people, People, and still MORE PEOPLE, people who are going out and coming in from all eight directions!!!!! That was just the most magnificent scene I have ever seen on a college campus!!!
Most Disappointing Class:
Sociology for sure!!! My sociology is with this prof. called Haghshenas (don't even know how to pronounce his name), and he didn't even show up for the class today. Instead, there was a Chinese TA who only explained the syllubus for prof. H, and then dismissed the class. The whole class, which was supposed to be a hour and fifteen minutes long, was done in fifteen minutes. I guess the TA Mr. Wang was not to be blamed since he didn't know what the heck the prof. was going to talk about for the whole semester, and he didn all he could do to explain.
Most Exciting Event:
Gone to Texas!!! It's a two-hour event right in front of the famous symble of UT --the Tower.
I was fulfilled with a very strong sense of pride during the welcoming event, and I couldn't feel more proud of myself to be a longhorn (a student of UT Austin) when the tower was lit entirely wild orange (the school color) for and only for the freshmen.
Got Lost Twice:
The first time was not really my fault b/c I didn't know Kelly Conway, my FIG (Freshman Interest Group) seminar mentor sent a second email to update the classroom number. I ended up being 15 minutes late for the class!!!
The second time was in Welch, the chemistry building, when I was looking for my sociology classroom. It's Room 3.502, which means 502 Room on the 3rd floor, but somehow, I read 5.302, so I went to the fifth floor, and couldn't find my classroom. Luckily, I was not late for that class...
I haven't even started a lot of things that I plan on doing on campus...:S Lots of reading to do this weekend... and UT has its first home game for football this Saturday...
Btw, recently the whole city of New Orleans, Louisiana is evacuated b/c of Hurricane Katrina!!! A lot of people are actually moving or already have moved to Houston and surrounding areas for accommodation. I didn't really catch up with the news a lot, but I overheard today that UT Austin was admitting students from Tulane University (a good private college in New Orleans) who couldn't go to college for now b/c of the hurricane. Very coincidentally, I got accepted to Tulane University as well as UT Austin, but I ended up choosing UT over Tulane. And I have been thinking if I were to go to Tulane, then what would happen to me if all a sudden hurricane comes... I would not get to go to school at regular time, and I would probably be one of those Tulane students who lined up at UT admission to see if I could get a chance to study in UT. I couldn't feel luckier to be here at Austin, guys!!! I guess I am just pre-destined to a longhorn or something!!!
Anyways, so much of my college story. See if I could survive the first weekend on campus!

2005/8/29 The Third Night in AustinOh, yea! This is my third night in Austin, TX. I finally got my internet access from my dorm, so I could surf the internet from the most convenient place in the world--My Room @@@, Moore-Hill.
The music is playing from my computer right now, playing some Chinese songs from my friend Yuki. I looked around my room, and it felt just right in the sense of being my habitat for the next four months. I shared Room 214 with an Indian from India named Alaknanda Renukuntla (try to pronounce it, guys!!! :P), and so far, we get along quite well.
I moved into my room last Friday afternoon, Aug. 26th. It's SUCH a scene to see so many people moving in, and guess what, Friday was just a beginning of moving in. Later on Saturday and today, the scene just got more and more magnificent. I've been meeting old and new people these two days, and I don't have a feeling of not belonging or anything like that. I don't know how my attitude has changed over the summer, but every crannies of these Forty Acres brightens me up with its welcoming warmth. As you could see, I'm lov'n it!
The scarest thing ever that happened to me tonight was that there was a cockroach crawling at the far end of my bed!!!!! Gosh! It's the second time that a cockroach somehow got onto my BED!!!!! Thanks to my Houston home, where cockroaches have been my frequent visitors, I have developed much immunity not to jump or scream. And thanks goodness that my roommate hated cockroaches so much that she immediately jumped in to help me. We basically took everything off from my bed, and even removed the mattress and boxes under my bed. The cockroach rushed out from bunch of boxes, and fled to my closet!!!! The next thing we knew, all my stuffs were out of my closet! Luckily Alak (my roommate) found the cockroach and killed it with the sole of my Old Navy flip-flop. Thanks goodness!!!!! At least I am not sleeping with a living insect tonight!
Yeah, that's my little "cockroach hunting adventure" for tonight, and I do truly hope that won't happen again, EVER, period!!!!
I also want to thank you guys for helping my friend get all the guitar information. He eventually decided to take his guitar along with him, but he might still buy one before he gets back to the States again, so the info. that you have provided is still going to be very useful to him. Thanks for making him feel like Beijing and people in Beijing are welcoming! Well done, ya'll!
I hope I could write even more, but it's past midnight already, and my roommate needs some good rest before her placement tests tmr, which means I couldn't stay up either. Anyways, school starts this Wednesday, and I'll tell you guys more about my college adventure.

2005/8/23 紧急求助!!! URGENT HELP NEEDED!!!我有一个美国同学要到北京作一年的交换学生, 因为要从美国带的东西很多, 不能带他的吉它去北京, 所以想在北京当地买吉它. 他弹吉它已有三年多, 想要买一架标准长度, 6弦, 质量相对不错的吉它. 在品牌上, 他倾向于买Takamine, Yamaha, 或Gibson的吉它. 他将会住在北京大学附近, 不知方圆有无吉它卖? 店的全名是什么? 在哪条路上? 具体地址是什么? 大概的价钱范围又是多少呢?
因为时间紧迫, 请大家快快回复!!! 大恩不言谢!!!
还有一件事需要报告, 就是我这周五就去Austin, TX (学校所在地)了, 下周三正式开学...CRY OUT LOUD
P.S. 也许今年寒假会有机会回来北京... 大家要静心等待哦!
叶子/橙色长角牛 8/22/2005 7:41PM 2005/8/17 An Early Morning Wake UpYeah, I woke up "EARLY" this morning, around six thirty. I've been getting up around seven recently, but this mornig has been the earliest as well as the most peaceful one.
Have you ever waken up, instead of having blurry vision or unclear mind, sober and ready? Well, to me, today is a day like that. I didn't think I had much sleep during the past... several several years :P. Since I was in elementary, I have had a BAD BAD habit of sleeping after midnight. I truly think I looker older and rougher that I am supposed to be if I sleep well enough all these years.
Enya's songs somehow put me into this comfortable and calm zone when I got up. The truth is I fell asleep last night after a phone call and didn't do any chaning clothes, brushing teeth and stuffs like that. Obviously, I forgot to put my computer to hibernate either, so Enya's songs, once having been my backgroud music when I was awake, became the soothing comfort for my sleep and the fresh air for my wake-up.
Maybe I should do some outdoor activity today! Surely did I hear the call from our Mother Earth.
08/17 Wednesday. Written in My Houston Home. 2005/8/2 第一次这已是上周三(7/27)的事情了, 但我还是想在此补记一下.
是的, 这是我人生当中第一次献血. 其实这个献血活动已经在广播上宣传了甚久, 我一直觉得这是一件好事,却从未认真地想过它跟我自己的联系. 直到上周二我终于抽空上了小站,看到了兰天的捐款呼吁,感触良多,冥冥之中觉得有个声音在告诉我:"除了捐款,你还可以捐什么给别人?" 又记起原来在初二时认识一位19岁的美国华裔女孩Jenny,当年小小年纪就已经献过几次血的,我为什么不能呢?于是,我抱着试试看的心理登录了血库的网站,录入了我的个人信息,并打了个电话询问了一下献血人的基本身体条件. 电话上说,献血人必须年满17岁,体重在110磅以上(这个要求第一次让我为我的体重倍感自豪...
 ), 没有这病那病的. 撂下电话,我深吸了口气,将我的献血申请提交了上去...第二天中午,我趁工作休息期间,急急忙忙地跑到一辆采血车上去献血. 在开车途中,我就胡乱塞了半个包子,算是我的午餐. 献血前的准备工作很多,先是要在两份协议书上签名,无非是声明若有任何意外,血站不承担责任. 接着,我被一个白大褂带进了一个小间问话,采血样,及在电脑上回答多达四十多道涉及我自己血液的问题(有没有爱滋啊,有没有跟别人共用针头啦,纹身呀等等). 等所有准备工作就绪,另一个白大褂把我带进车的中后部,在这里左右各有两张靠窗的半倚式病床,因为我右撇子,就坐上了一张有左手手扶的床上. 白大褂向我介绍了她自己,接着就开始在我旁边绰起了她的"家伙"们,巨大无比的碘酒棒,多根管子连接着的储血袋,弹性的用来对血管施压降压的手心握力,一根根用来固定塑料管子的医用胶布等等. 等她找好我胳膊上最明显的一处静脉后,她开始不停地用碘酒棒在其周围消毒,足足花了一分多钟. 凭着这一点,我彻底地放了心,我将头慢慢地转向了窗外,绿色的草坪,川流的汽车,我仿佛在另一个世界里看这一切. 我似乎听到了针尖入肤的声音,但我没有顿时回来采血车内的世界(我从没有看针头扎我的兴趣和习惯); 当我转过头时,黑红黑红的血已汩汩地流动在两根人工"血管"内: 一根通往一个很小的袋子,那里的血会被检测,告诉我我自己的健康状况; 另一根通向一个手掌大的袋子,而这袋血会被医生们分离出红血球,白血球,血小板和血浆,而这前三样可以救三个危急的生命. 白大褂嘱咐我每隔三至五秒握紧和松开握着手心握力的拳头,就这样,我不敢大意地松紧了十分多钟,直至血袋渐渐鼓起. 我都说不清我的身体对这样的失血有什么反应,只是感觉车内的空调开得很大,我的血管都仿佛感受到了寒气...
白大褂在抽血管上打了个活结,然后针头离了我的身体,马上顶上来的是止血棉球,接着是一条粉色的粘性绷带,贴着我胳膊肘旁,将棉球老老实实地固定在抽血口处. 白大褂叫我将左臂伸高作举手状,我很想笑,因为被包扎的我举手一定是滑稽的. 但我的思想就在此处慢了下来,我觉得我头有点晕,有点像在滑入梦境瞬间似真非真的感觉,空调仿佛更猛了,逼得我下了一阵冷汗,而心里感到又虚又痒,胃里空得真切...我知道我的身体终于在告诉我它想休息一下,于是我很诚实地对白大褂说:"I feel dizzy!" 还没等我说明我想小憩一下的意图,我的床已倒下,两个透心凉的冰袋已然过来,一个被枕在了脖子下,另一个就直接压在了胸前! 我正在出冷汗,你还给我冰袋!!! 我赶快请她撤下我胸前的冰袋,只留下脖子下的冰袋,同时她已递来一瓶中等大的果汁,我就咕咚咕咚地喝了起来. 唉,还真是得在病床上呆会儿了,干脆我闭目养神吧...还没等我的上下眼皮合热乎呢,白大褂就特严肃地对我说:"Please keep your eyes open!",我才想起,在医生眼里,在病床上闭目是生命离散的征兆
 (真郁闷!). 为了照顾她的职业信仰,避免她的花容为我这种不外行"病人"而失色,我眼都不敢眨太长太频繁... 这就是我的第一次献血经历. 没有T恤或水杯或遮阳帽的献血奖励(听说通常都会有),但我有了一次刻骨的体验: 血是生命,没有一个人例外. 2005/7/26 多日不见!我已经两耳不闻窗外事有些时日了, 但我毕竟达不到做隐士的地步, 有些人有些事有些话还会时常翻覆于心,扰了清静,可也有力地证明着我还活着, 我还不是一个麻木不仁的人. 哲学家笛卡尔曾说过: "我思想,所以,我存在" ("I think, therefore, I am").
上上周周日晚在ABC看了一个叫Grey's Anatomy的电视剧(唉! 一周只播一次,而且这个剧的播放权是被ABC买断的!), 是一系列的发生在一个医院里的一群实习医生的故事. 这一集中,有一个工地工人在用钉子枪固定木板的时候发生了事故,13枚长钉穿进了他的头颅. 经脑外科专家Dr. Shepherd的抢救,这位工人脱离了生命危险. 然而,与此同时,医生在他储存记忆的脑部位发现了中晚期的肿瘤. 医生留给病人及他的妻子两种选择,一种是立即做手术将肿瘤切除,这样他可以继续活下去,但他会成为一个没有记忆的植物人; 另一种是做化疗,做辐射,但他最多也就还有五年的生命. 当Meredith Grey(故事女主人公;第一年实习医生)听说工人的妻子为她丈夫选择了手术的时候, 她冒着被解雇的危险(医生是绝对不能影响病人对其治疗所作出的决定; 换句话说,医生要做到"冷血")去劝这位妻子选择第二种治疗. 我欣赏Meredith捍卫生命质量的勇气,而这就是后人对笛卡尔哲学理念的最好引申.
在这里还要附加一个可能并不相关的问题,是我从广播上听来的.大家不妨试着给我一些答案,或许在你们的答案中我可以找寻到我的答案:
假设你正值四十,有事业,有家庭,虽然你的妻子/丈夫不是你的真爱(不是那种火热的,疯狂的,坠入爱河的爱),但他/她能给你一个稳固的爱的感觉. 而此时,你的真爱也在你的生命中出现. 你会选择谁? 爱情和责任中,孰轻孰重? 2005/7/19 zzzZZZ
这可还是上班时间呢!!! 我是两眼发沉, 头昏脑胀... 可为什么我面前偏偏只有一张硬梆梆,冰冷冷的办公桌呢? 我真是困得不可救药! 叮嘱大家一定要注意休息, 特别是那几个夜猫子网虫!!! 我得去工作(小睡?
2005/7/15 J.D. Overview -- For Prospective Law School Students! (1)嘿, 大家好! 应兰天的要求(这家伙上政法!!! 以后打官司找他搞定!!!), 我来帖一点关于法学的信息.
首先, 我们需要弄明白一些法学的专用术语(Jargon): J.D.(Juris Doctor), LL.M(Master of Laws), S.J.D.(Doctor of Juridical Science)
 ... ... LSAT(Law School Admission Test)是法学院入学许可考试...LSAT:
LSAT每年有四次考试的机会, 但一般建议是只考一次并一次成功(当然, 你要对LSAT有充足的准备才行). 你也可以选择多次考试, 但法学院入学办公室会以你的平均成绩来评断你的实力. 一般来说, 大多数学生在大学本科第三年考LSAT, 而获得的成绩是在五年内有效的. 别等到要申请入学那年(比如说2006)的二月再考试, 因为二月是入学那年(2006年)申请的正常截止日, 学校是不会等你的成绩的.
这里有一个更详尽的说明, 是从Law School Admission Council上拷贝的:
The LSAT is a half-day standardized test administered four times each year at designated testing centers throughout the world. Most law schools throughout the US and Canada use the LSAT results as part of their admission process. All LSAC-member schools require applicants to take the LSAT.
The test consists of five 35-minute sections of multiple-choice questions. Four of the five sections contribute to the test taker’s score. These sections include one reading comprehension section, one analytical reasoning section, and two logical reasoning sections. The unscored section typically is used to pretest new test questions or to preequate new test forms. The placement of this section, which is commonly referred to as the variable section, varies for different administrations of the test. A 35-minute writing sample is administered at the end of the test. The writing sample is not scored by LSAC, but copies are sent to all law schools to which you apply. The score scale for the LSAT is 120 to 180. The LSAT is designed to measure skills that are considered essential for success in law school: the reading and comprehension of complex texts with accuracy and insight; the organization and management of information and the ability to draw reasonable inferences from it; the ability to think critically, and the analysis and evaluation of the reasoning and arguments of others. J.D., LL.M and S.J.D.:
J.D.学位历时三年, 申请者必须是大学本科毕业生, 并有LSAT成绩. 申请LL.M学位的必须拥有J.D.学位, 而申请S.J.D.的人基本上百分百都是拥有LL.M.学位的人...
