剛做完復健搭上接駁車
腦筋正在渾沌的時候
手機響起...
一個口音有台味的中年男
"您好,請問是xxx嗎?"
"請問您最近六個月內有沒有經常接到抽獎或詐騙的電話"
"我們是台南市政府警察局"(這時候才自我介紹)
"最近破獲一個案件...金額高達兩百萬...
嫌犯利用個人資料偽造人頭戶,其中有兩本存摺是你的名字..."
"請問你有沒有曾經在抽獎或是網路上留下你的個人資料"
"請問你去年12月4日有沒有到台南..."
"我們要核對你的個人資料,請問你現在是不是還住在xx縣xx路xx號xx樓..."
過程中整個收訊不清楚,
我只好一直"喂...聽不到""我不知道""可能吧...""我很少用這支電話ㄟ"
最後就掛了
看了一下電話顯示06-2231101
區碼還真的是06
回頭上網一查,果然是詐騙,整個莫名奇妙
ps.點名那天生日的人,你生日是好日子的樣子喔...

[隨筆]pain-身心傷害
[隨筆]pain-身心傷害
騎車犁田到今天正好兩週
較淺的傷口都已經恢復得差不多了
最深的手指跟腳踝,卻沒有顯著進步
雖然外科診所醫生說還要三週才會好
但這兩天換藥,竟然出現黃白色液體
我只好鼓起勇氣去看CG教學醫院皮膚科
不料竟成為一場恐怖經歷
***************
-終於遇到好醫生-
特別找了小橘媽推薦的醫師
女醫師講話很溫柔客氣
"你這個黃白色的部分我們要把它清掉,不然新皮長不出來"
"傷口要好好照顧"
"我們會把組織液取下來做細菌培養才知道有沒有感染"
目前為止都非常愉快
因為語氣實在溫柔,感覺不出事態嚴重性
"那請你過去治療室那邊,請另一位醫師處理傷口"
結果,卻發生了想像不到的遭遇...
***************
-被刑求-
治療室是一位年輕醫生
"你這個看起來有點不妙ㄟ"(ㄟ...應該還好吧)
"你急診在哪邊?"(貴單位的總院)
"他們沒幫你清掉傷口喔?"
(只是不停檢查我有沒有骨折,從頭到腳很徹底)
"等下我們會幫你清傷口,可能會有點痛喔"
"因為要把髒東西清掉,對傷口比較好"
"所以我們會用力地清,你要忍耐一下喔"(喔好...)
此時心中毫無防備,覺淂再怎麼痛,
那天在急診室還不是撐過來了
應該還好......吧!
備齊器具,開始動手,先處理腳踝
用紗布濕敷,然後用食鹽水和棉棒清理
要把黃色部分用-力-擦-掉,真的很-痛!!!
我強忍著不出聲,用力咬牙還不夠
索性把手背都咬出了齒痕
回頭竟然看到疑似紅色的血流出
我趕緊轉頭,只怕才開始就快要撐不下去了
接著處理最恐怖的手
爲了轉移注意力,醫生不停跟我裝熟問問題
"你在哪邊車禍的?"
"怎麼發生的?對方有賠你嗎?這麼過份..."
"急診怎麼幫你處理的?他們怎麼這樣啊?"
"後來有去跨年嗎?"
邊說邊用棉棒和紗布在沒有長皮的傷口上
非-常-用-力把黃色組織液搓掉
邊跟護士說"拿剪刀,夾子跟15號刀片來"
"這個已經乾的傷口也不行喔"
就把結好的痂割開,然後把裡面東西清掉
是的!硬生生割開來
只覺得手指不停刺痛
我整個人掛在護士身上
他們兩個人使出全力壓住我
不時要把我的手移回來
還要一邊安慰說
"很痛...你要忍耐"
(啊..........)
"忍耐喔,一下就好囉"
(啊..........受不了了...)
"要處理對你的傷口才有好處"
(啊..........)
起先還可以敷衍幾句,後來已經痛到無法說話
我整個失去理智,不停哀叫,痛到眼淚奔流
完完全全像古代那種被刑求的(夾棍)
不看畫面,更像古裝劇裡面生小孩的戲碼

[隨筆]crash後續報導-峰迴路轉
2009.01.03
撞車後休了兩天,
Jimy和Emily千里迢迢搭接駁車
來山上探望,只為了跟我喝一杯咖啡,十分感動...
Emily看了傷覺得好像紅腫很嚴重
我還大喇喇地說,"唉呀,沒骨折就沒事啦..."
沒想到當天晚上換藥,覺得傷口似乎沒癒合
揭開人工皮,傷口如糜狀,非常恐怖
於是改用家裡的消炎粉試看看情況
--
2009.01.04再急診
早上再看,情況仍未好轉,傷口濕濕的
決定換醫院,再掛急診
醫生說:"你這個是蜂窩性組織炎喔..."
(真是晴天霹靂!!!!)
"人工皮只能用在非感染性傷口,你已經感染囉..."
"有發燒或忽冷忽熱嗎?"
"有發燒就一定要住院啦,你沒發燒的話,可以自己決定要不要住院?"
(一般人沒事應該不想住醫院吧...)
"抗生素要認真吃不可以自行停藥"
當天跟Fish,Lamu,Mona的約會,從午餐改到下午茶
電話裡只能短暫說"我要掛急診會晚點到"
令大夥整個驚嚇...
--
2009.01.07一波三折
特地安排了時間要去區公所辦事情,順便到醫院回診
自作聰明,想說既然都是市立聯合醫院
應該沒差吧,那就選捷運順向的婦幼比較便利
還事先在網路上掛號"一般外科"
14:00
到了醫院,竟然找不到診間
去問志工,"請問一般外科在...?"
"這邊進去中間第二間"
走進去竟然門牌寫著"乳房外科"不對啊...
正好看見一個護士小姐,又過去問?
"請問一般外科是在這邊嗎?我是20號xxx..."
"外科這邊對啊。妳要看手嗎?剛跌的嗎?初診,我拿資料給你寫"
然後就叫我填落落長的病歷資料表格
叫到號碼進去,醫生又問"妳要看手?我這邊是乳房外科ㄟ"
然後轉頭跟小姐說,她要看外傷ㄟ
護士小姐則露出驚訝和無奈的表情
(此時我心中更加無奈,並不必意外好嗎?
我剛剛不是就已經跟你說過我要看手了?
妳怎不阻止我呢?也省得手痛還要寫表格...)
但時間也已經來不及,等下還要趕五點去公所
只好請醫生幫我開接續的抗生素,吃完一個療程
(今天第一家醫院)
16:20
千里迢迢趕到文山區公所,
中間還跑錯,去了文山第二戶政
只見詢問處志工嫻熟拿出指路小卡
終於在17:00前趕到,辦理完畢
看到樓下有個健康服務中心,想說這邊總有醫生了吧...
一問才發現,竟然沒有外科(第二家醫院)
索性跳上公車殺去最近的萬芳醫院
奔向掛號處,16:58分,長長的人龍...
才想到,下午診的掛號截止時間應該是16:00
現在是要掛夜診了(第三家醫院)
此時Even打來通知晚上聚餐
17:10
搭上捷運想想...
雖然拿到了藥,但傷口都沒看還是不行
乾脆去sintin介紹的醫院穩定有開吧!
奔到通化街去繞了一圈沒看見
去電詢問才曉得是在基隆路上
又拖著傷口的痛楚走到基隆路(第四家醫院)
進去掛號,小姐說"夜診要晚上六點半才開始喔..."
已經答應的聚餐會來不及,
只好拿回健保卡,轉身奔赴聚餐地點
--
就這樣忙了一天,去了四家醫院
卻看不到醫生
套句蜘蛛網的話
"究竟是什麼樣的冤孽呢?"
撞車後休了兩天,

[隨筆]血紅的跨年夜
反正也無法把手藏起來,每個人看見都要問一次
乾脆公開說明,以後就只要貼這篇文章

先說,這篇文章我可是使用單手+1隻手指完成
(目前左手指只有無名指能用)

2008.12.31 crash
計畫已久的日子終於到來,
為了跨年的活動,事前還跟米飛妹面談了籌備會
當天由於交通的狀況混亂,
米飛妹只好放棄搭到林口的客運,改搭火車
因為想說要載人,臨時改騎小橘媽的車到桃園火車站
正想說,中正路一帶的交通相當混亂,但我卻沒有迷路,
還順利閃過一台突然衝出的機車而相當得意自己的機靈
騎到了忠義路,就開始大聊天
話說忠義路因為寬敞無比,素來成為附近的飆車道
縣府基於此,最近加設分隔物,分隔出機車道
正當我慶幸有獨立的機車道,免受汽車威脅時
忽然一輛轎車從左邊插進機車道來
我反應不及,心裡一個念頭是
"完了,我要撞上去了!"
於是雙手用力按住煞車
殊不知,這車是碟煞(我不清楚碟煞車的功能)
用力一煞的結果是...
2個人"啊!......"一聲,接著"碰碰碰..."
沒撞上,轎車開走了...
機車倒了,人滑開離車1公尺處
原來煞車猛烈的後座力,加上天雨路滑
人飛出去,但手卻卡在護手套來不及反應
車倒下來,接著是人與馬路的直接接觸
回過神來,只聽見米菲妹超鎮定一直喊"哈利路亞,沒事..."
我腦中閃過數個念頭:
"我還活著,可是很痛,痛哪裡?"
"跨年毀了","完了,車壞了嗎?"
"血,我毀容了嗎?"
"手腳都不能動,啊...我殘廢了嗎?"
米菲妹才奮勇站起來就立刻對路人說"請幫我們叫救護車"
最奇妙的事情發生了
此刻對面忽然1台警車和1台救護車,無巧不巧經過
接著據說就有幾位好心的路人分工合作:
擋住後面車輛疏導交通,
叫住對面的救護車,
幫忙把機車抬起來牽到路邊
此時我完全倒地,不知道發生什麼事情
看著我眼前吐出了一大攤血,邊頭昏眼花,邊大叫:我的手...
然後就被抬上救護車了...
----
2008.12.31 生意興隆的急診室
送到急診室以後,我開始比較清醒了點
先檢傷分類,接著依序進行各種檢查:
頭,胸,脊椎,手腳的X光
牙科咬合檢查(我嘴巴張不開,咬合會痛)
醫生還問我"是不是要去跨年,今天大家都趕著去跨年"
其實我年還沒跨就摔了,不曉得要怎樣
弄了2-3個小時(也痛了2-3小時)
最後確定沒骨折,也沒內出血。
才處理了外傷,放我回家,已經大約10點
--
回到家血仍然汩汩流出,實在是全身痠痛,
顧不得傷口只有先躺下去再說
躺下去卻痛到睡不著,才發現血已經滲出紗布
我只想著怕沾到衣服棉被洗不掉,又累...
就拿了個塑膠手扒雞手套戴著就睡了
沒想到第二天早上起來
差點嚇昏,雙手沾滿血腥
簡直跟命案一樣,整個手套裡都是血
原來塑膠袋悶熱,手出汗加上傷口未癒合
整個慘不忍睹...
加上全身肌肉酸痛,整個人像被揍了一圈
接連兩天連假就只好在家裡養傷
--
在此要感謝好心的三位路人
警察先生
超鎮定的米菲妹和醫學系css學弟
還有跨年夜傳來101夜景照片的sintin
看完差點飆淚...
乾脆公開說明,以後就只要貼這篇文章
也免得我落落長的故事,重複repeat

[哲思]Speech by Barack Obama
非常精采!真的可是說是名列青史的演講
摘錄幾段讓人感動得亂七八糟的部份
"If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer."
"若還有人懷疑美國是實現所有夢想之處;若還有人懷疑我們開國先烈們的夢想在今日是否依舊存在;若還有人懷疑我們民主的力量,今夜就是你們的答案。"
"It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this date in this election at this defining moment change has come to America"
"But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to – it belongs to you"
"It can't happen without you, without a new spirit of service, a new spirit of sacrifice."
"And where we are met with cynicism and doubts and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes, we can."
看了真的會慷慨激昂
也難怪面臨各種經濟風暴的美國人
會期待歐巴馬帶來改變的力量
翻譯文連結如下
MyOOPS翻譯超讚的版本,還有影片連結跟下載(2010.12.31更新)
原文如下
If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.
It’s the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen; by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the very first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different; that their voice could be that difference.
It’s the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled – Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been a collection of Red States and Blue States: we are, and always will be, the United States of America.
It’s the answer that led those who have been told for so long by so many to be cynical, and fearful, and doubtful of what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.
It’s been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to America.
I just received a very gracious call from Senator McCain. He fought long and hard in this campaign, and he’s fought even longer and harder for the country he loves. He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine, and we are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader.
I congratulate him and Governor Palin for all they have achieved, and I look forward to working with them to renew this nation’s promise in the months ahead.
I want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the streets of Scranton and rode with on that train home to Delaware, the Vice President-elect of the United States, Joe Biden.
I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last sixteen years, the rock of our family and the love of my life, our nation’s next First Lady, Michelle Obama. Sasha and Malia, I love you both so much, and you have earned the new puppy that’s coming with us to the White House.
And while she’s no longer with us, I know my grandmother is watching, along with the family that made me who I am. I miss them tonight, and know that my debt to them is beyond measure.
To my sister Maya, my sister Alma, all my other brothers and sisters, thank you so much for all the support that you’ve given me. I am grateful to them.
To my campaign manager David Plouffe, my chief strategist David Axelrod, and the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics – you made this happen, and I am forever grateful for what you’ve sacrificed to get it done.
But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to – it belongs to you.
I was never the likeliest candidate for this office. We didn’t start with much money or many endorsements. Our campaign was not hatched in the halls of Washington – it began in the backyards of Des Moines and the living rooms of Concord and the front porches of Charleston.
It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give five dollars and ten dollars and twenty dollars to this cause.
It grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generation’s apathy; who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep; from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on the doors of perfect strangers; from the millions of Americans who volunteered, and organized, and proved that more than two centuries later, a government of the people, by the people and for the people has not perished from this Earth.
This is your victory.
I know you didn’t do this just to win an election and I know you didn’t do it for me.
You did it because you understand the enormity of the task that lies ahead. For even as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime – two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century.
Even as we stand here tonight, we know there are brave Americans waking up in the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan to risk their lives for us.
There are mothers and fathers who will lie awake after their children fall asleep and wonder how they’ll make the mortgage, or pay their doctor’s bills, or save enough for college.
There is new energy to harness and new jobs to be created; new schools to build and threats to meet and alliances to repair.
The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even one term, but America – I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there.
I promise you – we as a people will get there.
There will be setbacks and false starts. There are many who won’t agree with every decision or policy I make as President, and we know that government can’t solve every problem.
But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. I will listen to you, especially when we disagree. And above all, I will ask you join in the work of remaking this nation the only way it’s been done in America for two-hundred and twenty-one years – block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand.
What began twenty-one months ago in the depths of winter must not end on this autumn night. This victory alone is not the change we seek – it is only the chance for us to make that change. And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were.
It cannot happen without you.
So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism; of service and responsibility where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves, but each other.
Let us remember that if this financial crisis taught us anything, it’s that we cannot have a thriving Wall Street while Main Street suffers – in this country, we rise or fall as one nation; as one people.
Let us resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long. Let us remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of the Republican Party to the White House – a party founded on the values of self-reliance, individual liberty, and national unity.
Those are values we all share, and while the Democratic Party has won a great victory tonight, we do so with a measure of humility and determination to heal the divides that have held back our progress.
As Lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours, “We are not enemies, but friends…though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection.” And to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn – I may not have won your vote, but I hear your voices, I need your help, and I will be your President too.
And to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of our world – our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand.
To those who would tear this world down – we will defeat you. To those who seek peace and security – we support you. And to all those who have wondered if America’s beacon still burns as bright – tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from our the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity, and unyielding hope.
For that is the true genius of America – that America can change. Our union can be perfected. And what we have already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow.
This election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations. But one that’s on my mind tonight is about a woman who cast her ballot in Atlanta. She’s a lot like the millions of others who stood in line to make their voice heard in this election except for one thing – Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 years old.
She was born just a generation past slavery; a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky; when someone like her couldn’t vote for two reasons – because she was a woman and because of the color of her skin.
And tonight, I think about all that she’s seen throughout her century in America – the heartache and the hope; the struggle and the progress; the times we were told that we can’t, and the people who pressed on with that American creed: Yes we can.
At a time when women’s voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot. Yes we can.
When there was despair in the dust bowl and depression across the land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a New Deal, new jobs and a new sense of common purpose. Yes we can.
When the bombs fell on our harbor and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness a generation rise to greatness and a democracy was saved. Yes we can.
She was there for the buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma, and a preacher from Atlanta who told a people that “We Shall Overcome.” Yes we can.
A man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in Berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination. And this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen, and cast her vote, because after 106 years in America, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how America can change. Yes we can.
America, we have come so far. We have seen so much. But there is so much more to do. So tonight, let us ask ourselves – if our children should live to see the next century; if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as Ann Nixon Cooper, what change will they see? What progress will we have made?
This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment. This is our time – to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American Dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth – that out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism, and doubt, and those who tell us that we can’t, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes We Can.
Thank you, God bless you, and may God Bless the United States of America
摘錄幾段讓人感動得亂七八糟的部份
"If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer."
"若還有人懷疑美國是實現所有夢想之處;若還有人懷疑我們開國先烈們的夢想在今日是否依舊存在;若還有人懷疑我們民主的力量,今夜就是你們的答案。"
"It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this date in this election at this defining moment change has come to America"
"But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to – it belongs to you"
"It can't happen without you, without a new spirit of service, a new spirit of sacrifice."
"And where we are met with cynicism and doubts and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes, we can."
看了真的會慷慨激昂
也難怪面臨各種經濟風暴的美國人
會期待歐巴馬帶來改變的力量

If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.
It’s the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen; by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the very first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different; that their voice could be that difference.
It’s the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled – Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been a collection of Red States and Blue States: we are, and always will be, the United States of America.
It’s the answer that led those who have been told for so long by so many to be cynical, and fearful, and doubtful of what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.
It’s been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to America.
I just received a very gracious call from Senator McCain. He fought long and hard in this campaign, and he’s fought even longer and harder for the country he loves. He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine, and we are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader.
I congratulate him and Governor Palin for all they have achieved, and I look forward to working with them to renew this nation’s promise in the months ahead.
I want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the streets of Scranton and rode with on that train home to Delaware, the Vice President-elect of the United States, Joe Biden.
I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last sixteen years, the rock of our family and the love of my life, our nation’s next First Lady, Michelle Obama. Sasha and Malia, I love you both so much, and you have earned the new puppy that’s coming with us to the White House.
And while she’s no longer with us, I know my grandmother is watching, along with the family that made me who I am. I miss them tonight, and know that my debt to them is beyond measure.
To my sister Maya, my sister Alma, all my other brothers and sisters, thank you so much for all the support that you’ve given me. I am grateful to them.
To my campaign manager David Plouffe, my chief strategist David Axelrod, and the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics – you made this happen, and I am forever grateful for what you’ve sacrificed to get it done.
But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to – it belongs to you.
I was never the likeliest candidate for this office. We didn’t start with much money or many endorsements. Our campaign was not hatched in the halls of Washington – it began in the backyards of Des Moines and the living rooms of Concord and the front porches of Charleston.
It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give five dollars and ten dollars and twenty dollars to this cause.
It grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generation’s apathy; who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep; from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on the doors of perfect strangers; from the millions of Americans who volunteered, and organized, and proved that more than two centuries later, a government of the people, by the people and for the people has not perished from this Earth.
This is your victory.
I know you didn’t do this just to win an election and I know you didn’t do it for me.
You did it because you understand the enormity of the task that lies ahead. For even as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime – two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century.
Even as we stand here tonight, we know there are brave Americans waking up in the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan to risk their lives for us.
There are mothers and fathers who will lie awake after their children fall asleep and wonder how they’ll make the mortgage, or pay their doctor’s bills, or save enough for college.
There is new energy to harness and new jobs to be created; new schools to build and threats to meet and alliances to repair.
The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even one term, but America – I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there.
I promise you – we as a people will get there.
There will be setbacks and false starts. There are many who won’t agree with every decision or policy I make as President, and we know that government can’t solve every problem.
But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. I will listen to you, especially when we disagree. And above all, I will ask you join in the work of remaking this nation the only way it’s been done in America for two-hundred and twenty-one years – block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand.
What began twenty-one months ago in the depths of winter must not end on this autumn night. This victory alone is not the change we seek – it is only the chance for us to make that change. And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were.
It cannot happen without you.
So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism; of service and responsibility where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves, but each other.
Let us remember that if this financial crisis taught us anything, it’s that we cannot have a thriving Wall Street while Main Street suffers – in this country, we rise or fall as one nation; as one people.
Let us resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long.

[隨筆]愛買鞋的學問
[隨筆]愛買鞋的學問
sex and the city女主角凱莉,可以不吃不喝租房子
卻不能不買鞋,一雙800美金的鞋也有長篇大論的文章
大S說沒被金融海嘯波及是因為
錢都花在家裡的300雙鞋和名牌包就是
艾蕊絲跟好友艾蜜莉都是鞋狂
足跡遍佈大台北地區購物商圈
百貨公司,精品店和地攤外加網拍
因為腳大難買鞋,看喜歡不一定有size
有size的穿起來不一定好看或合腳
常常都要把店內大半的鞋款都穿遍
每每買到店員都混熟了
尤其是買到翻的購物天堂香港
一次是在中環看到很美麗staccato的漸層設計款高跟鞋,
但爲了趕上太平山搭纜車,只好放棄,下山後鞋店已打烊
沒想到10點半才搭渡船過海,竟在尖沙咀看到連鎖店還開著
立刻殺進去狂敗一番,邊試穿還邊問地鐵到幾點?
另一次則是在柏麗購物大道狂買Maud Frizon
整間都是平底芭蕾舞鞋,非常夢幻的店舖
艾蕊絲挑了兩雙皮面平底娃娃鞋,好穿得不得了
艾蜜莉買到僅只一雙的全真皮長靴,
出清價才不到2000元台幣
回來才曉得竟然是歐洲名牌,超值指數破表
(喜歡芭蕾舞鞋的人,推薦指數5星)
結果那天更是買到晚上11點半,店員還延時打烊
非常難忘

沒想到,買鞋也有測驗指數
轉載自藝人艾莉絲的文章-鞋子所不能說的秘密
我也好奇來測驗一下

Iris測驗結果如此這般
What's Your Shoe-Style Personality?
You're a sandal by summer and a clog by fall.
Less is more as far as you're concerned, but you still manage to look beautiful all the time. You don't really care about the latest trends, but you're psyched that all the stores are carrying the latest yoga clothing now. The new, fashionable flat sandals for spring have your name all over them, and you can't wait to start wearing yours. They're functional and comfortable, and best of all they look fabulous. Inner beauty is just as important to you as outer beauty, and it shows in the natural glow you radiate.
所以是-曖曖內含光的意思囉...
