我非常喜欢开头这一段，男主人公讲的那个故事。非常简单甚至原本应该很滥俗的句子，多半不讨拒斥宏大叙事的当代人的欢喜，然而，他的语气、神情、动作等等一切，却让这个故事如此耐听，百听不厌。。。
I'v been thinking about this...well,I always kind of wanted to write a book that all took place within the space of a pop song,you know,like three or four minutes long,the whole thing.
The story,the idea,is that there's this guy...and he's totally depressed.I mean his great dream was to be a lover,an adventurer,you know,riding motorcycles through South America.And instead he's sitting at a marble table eating lobster.He's got a good job and a beautiful wife,you know,everything that he needs.But that doesn't matter.Because what he wants is to fight for meaning.You know?Happiness is in the doing,right?Not in the getting what you want.
So he's sitting there,and just that second his little 5-year-old daughter hops up on the table.And he knows that she should get down,because she could get hurt.But she's dancing to this pop song in a summer dress.And he looks down and all of a sudden,he's 16.And his high-school sweetheart is dropping him off at home.And they just lost their virginity,and she loves him,and the same song is playing on the car radio.And she climbs up and starts dancing on the roof of the car.And now,now he's worried about her.And she's beautiful,with a facial expression,you know,just like his daughter's.In fact,maybe that's why he even likes her.You see,he knows he's not remembering this dance.He's there.He's there,in both moments,simultaneously.And just for an instant,all his life is just folding in on itself.And it's obvious to him that time is a lie...(就在那个瞬间，他看到她走了进来)Er...That it's all happening all the time and inside every moment is another moment...all...you know,happening simultaneously.Anyway,that's kind of the idea.Anyway...(说不下去了，草草收场)
然后，那是当然的，最后车里的那段。男人对女人描述他的梦境。

田因为《心理月刊》的采访任务，接触了一个沪上知名的按摩师，聊下来觉得不错，便推荐我和我母亲一起去。于是，怀着好奇的心情，我们一家子在这个周末来了趟按摩初体验。
按摩师先给母亲按了按，很快就说她身上没一个地方是好的，他还指着肩胛之间部位那高高的隆起说：你从小时候起就委屈、压抑，一直积郁在这里。这个按摩师看上去不怎么善言辞，但寥寥几句说的都还挺到位。
他给我一按，第一句话大出意料之外。当时他按了按相同的部位，然后说：你对你的母亲很好。他之后还说了一些话，例如“你把很多事情都放在心里，喜欢自己扛”之类，但那些都还罢了，只这第一句，实在不知从何得知。回来的路上我对母亲笑道：你看，人家轻轻一按就知道我对你好，全世界都知道，就你自己不知道。
按摩了一个小时下来，浑身酸软，碰上去还隐隐作痛。按照按摩师的说法，这是神经开始复苏了，以后慢慢就好了。是啊，很多事情尘封了太久，以为不开口就像没发生过，其实这只是自欺罢了。复苏了，又感觉到痛了，或许真的是件好事。
虽然整个过程中我们发现这个按摩师的理论水平有限，但他还是说出了一句我很欣赏的话。

[日志]夜阑静，问有谁共鸣
2009-04-01
前两天去K歌，开始学唱一些新的曲目。虽然还依旧保持着第一首必唱《风再起时》的习惯，但仅仅是出于习惯，已没有了什么意义。
再也不能自称“茫然困惑少年”，该来的来，该去的去，也早就“不再计较与奔驰”。
忽然发现，并不是人和歌一起老去，而是仅仅人老了，歌，却还依然年轻。
华语乐坛缺乏长久的艺术生命，在青春靓丽时或许红极一时，但很快雨打风吹去。常见的都是包装与炒作，或者为了转型而转型。有几人能从青丝唱到华发呢。
有一次LD笑话我猥琐，我答了一句：人不猥琐枉中年么。
虽是玩笑，但人生的确一程有一程的风景，过了那个阶段，就别再充嫩了吧。可是，当今时代又有多少人，能够成长得沉默而坚忍，有多少人，而立过后不是紧攥着青春的尾巴不放、满脑子惦记着些陈年旧事，而是毅然决然地一再扬帆前行？
