What good is sitting alone in your room?
Come hear the music play.
Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
Come to the Cabaret.
Put down the knitting,
The book and the broom.
Time for a holiday.
Life is Cabaret, old chum,
Come to the Cabaret.
Come taste the wine,
Come hear the band.
Come blow your horn,
Start celebrating;
Right this way,
Your table's waiting
No use permitting
soem prophet of doom
To wipe every smile away.
Come hear the music play.
Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
Come to the Cabaret!
I used to have a girlfriend
known as Elsie
With whom I shared
Four sordid rooms in Chelsea
She wasn't what you'd call
A blushing flower...
As a matter of fact
She rented by the hour.
The day she died the neighbors
came to snicker:
"Well, thats what comes
from to much pills and liquor."
But when I saw her laid out like a Queen
She was the happiest...corpse...
I'd ever seen.
I think of Elsie to this very day.
I'd remember how'd she turn to me and say:
"What good is sitting alone in your room?
Come hear the music play.
Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
Come to the Cabaret."
And as for me,
I made up my mind back in Chelsea,
When I go, I'm going like Elsie.
Start by admitting
From cradle to tomb
Isn't that long a stay.
Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
Only a Cabaret, old chum,
And I love a Cabaret! - Re: 花好月圆 第九 Chelsea Chelsea,life is a Cabaret, old chumposted on 08/06/2010

The Importance of Being Hated
Personal Quotes by Catherine Breillat
The problem is that censors create the concept of obscenity. By supposedly trying to protect us they form an absurd concept of what is obscene.
It's a joke - if men can't desire liberated women, then tough. Does it mean they can only desire a slave? Men need to question the roots of their own desire. Why is it that historically men have this need to deny women to be able to desire them?
For me, the outrage is that the world needs to know about the loss of virginity. There is such guilt associated with the fact that you want to make love, that you demand that your lover speaks words of love, whether he means them or not.
It's not just freedom to do a particular act. It's not consumerism. If you think of an orgy or falling in love, everyone would rather fall in love because it's really transcendental. The problem is that all governments and all religions have always been determined to make sex something dirty. Religion is afraid of the power of sex - because a person who can find the transfiguration of sex in her life is no longer a person who can be directed.
If you want to preserve your virginity, it's about not wanting to belong to the human species. To make love is not just to have the pleasure of flesh, but to have the pleasure of flesh escaping flesh. The sexual act involves a mental transfiguration, too.
I am the pariah of French cinema. That can make things complicated for me: it is never easy to drum up a budget or to find a distributor for my films in France. Some people refuse even to read my scripts. But it also makes me very happy because hatred is invigorating. All true artists are hated. Only conformists are ever adored.
If I stop making films, I will die. I can tell myself that one day I will stop living. But I cannot bear the fact that the day will come when I will no longer be making films.
In American cinema you find handsome men, whereas in French cinema you find male stars who are usually not very good looking at all. Fifty years from now, when people watch French movies and see these absolutely ravishing actresses who fall head over heels in love with Gérard Depardieu, they'll shake their heads and wonder what exactly was wrong with France.
I once wrote an article called 'The Importance of Being Hated', and though I would rather be loved and adored, because I am a human being like everyone else, I think the world still needs people who can speak their truth without fearing the consequences.

这法国电影感慨也真。我觉得大多数电影都是这样啦,上半年看了不少西语电影,看
着看着就觉得象印度电影。这电影,看多了让人被动,除了一样Documentary。
其实到了我们这个年龄,传记更是正位,电影小说一般都难受了,当然有例外。

life is a Cabaret, old chum
To me, life is not only a Cabaret, but is the most dangerous roller-coster, filled with such abysses and highs, death and life choices i have to made on the daily basis. The name of the slough was Despondoooo…..
I lived, that’s all I am going to say,do not regret for a moment…
这些记录工作就留给xw兄弟了…生活里充满如此多的戏剧,这才是戏剧人生。
1. new yorkers are Masochists 纽约人是受虐狂
七月流火,七月的纽约热得烦闷,热得焦虑。跟从前一样,Hotel Chelsea 是我最爱的纽约旅店。当年露宿街头的时候,朋友CT把我接到她在chelsea的房间里,在她的旅店房间里住了三个晚上,从此跟Hotel Chelsea 结下不解之缘。之后每次去纽约都住这里。带OB、小康以及TuTu来纽约,也是选的这里。
Chelsea从前的住客大多都是流浪艺人,他们付不起房租,就把自己的创作留在这里抵押,买给老板,或者是等自己成名后来这里赎回,这个传统一直延续到今天。这次我住的房间就是当年Bob Dylan成名前在纽约住的房间,这是他受Dylan Thomas影响的表现,Thomas是Chelsea的荣誉租客。这里是反叛者的朝圣地麦加。 具体请参考这本书 Legends of the Chelsea Hotel: Living with Artists and Outlaws in New York's Rebel Mecca
原本计划去soho看看,可惜都没有时间。
艺术家的生活实在艰苦,纽约的艺术是属于挣扎者的,属于被生活压榨的受虐狂们。从加州阳光海滩来这里的人都会说,什么样的人会选择一辈子住在曼哈顿呢?天价的房租、房价,拥挤污秽的地铁,污浊的空气,逼出人命的紧张生活节奏,繁重的税赋与苛法,残酷无情的警察,冷血的银行家跟政客,非是受虐狂才愿意这样活着。
对比西岸的艺人们的生存状态,纽约实在是地狱。洛杉矶的艺人再苦,都不如纽约艺人承受的压力。
住进Hotel Chelsea的第一天,就看见隔壁邻居的门上有这样一个告示,曼哈顿就是这样把人扫地出门的:

纽约今年夏天是够热的。这现今艺术家其实也百花八门,但能受贫的还是了不起。我
就想到美国的生存的物质条件的讲究,大凡一切还是讲究机构运作。
迪伦前一盒不错,幸亏美国的经济危机。但老迪伦估计早已归化体制了的。
Dylan Thomas实在没有几首象样的好诗:) - Re: 花好月圆 第九 Chelsea Chelsea,life is a Cabaret, old chumposted on 08/10/2010

maya 的经历很独特, 串起来应该可以拍电影吧.

刚看到这个新闻,将来的“老不死们”即便儿孙满堂,恐怕也没几个人上门去联系了,给你个E 就不错了。你活个140岁,最后身边可能也就是一条狗。
经济不好,宠物店反而一家家生意兴隆。爱狗比爱儿子保险。这都什么世道啊。
……..
日本法务省10日宣布,全国有234354名百岁以上老人在拥有户籍的同时下落不明,其中120岁以上的高龄者77118人,150岁以上的超高龄者884人。
尽管关于日本各地人瑞不知所踪的报道早已铺天盖地,闹得沸沸扬扬,但23万的数字依旧触目惊心,震动日本列岛乃至整个国际社会。人们纷纷惊呼:世界公认的长寿王国日本,到底怎么了?
高龄者神秘失踪,首先暴露出日本政府户籍管理的漏洞。按照有关规定,日本公民拥有户籍和居民登记两份重要文件,分别由其原籍所在地政府和现居地政府进行管理。公民一旦死亡,其亲属需在两地政府办理相关手续。但由于战乱、震灾、移居海外等原因,很多人的居民登记虽被注销,其户籍却依旧保留,最终成为所谓 “户籍生存者”。长崎县发现的比坂本龙马还要年长的200岁男性就是其中代表。
其次,固有生活方式与社会结构的瓦解是导致日本老人“走失”的另一大原因。日本社会过去一直保持着长子继承家业、赡养父母,其他子女另立门户的传统。但随着战后越来越多的年轻人蜂拥至东京、大阪等大都市寻找个人发展空间,“核心家庭”(指以父母和孩子组成的小家庭)日渐取代几世同堂的大家族生活成为社会主流,无人照管的独居老人因此数量剧增。近年的高龄少子化更加剧了这一趋势。老人孤独死去,从此与亲人“失去联系”的情况已非罕见。东京此次发现的一名 113岁下落不明女性,其亲属声称“数十年来从未与她取得过联系”。
如果说,前面两个原因虽令人无奈却还“情有可原”的话,那么“失踪门”的最后一个成因则猛烈地冲击着日本人的道德底线——为冒领退休金,高龄者亲属隐瞒其死亡事实。今年7月29日,东京足立区在住的一名111岁男性已经变成白骨的遗骸在其家中被发现。司法解剖证明,该名男性已经死亡三十年以上。在这三十多年里,其家属共领取了老人的退休金累计1800万日元。一个月后,警方以涉嫌诈骗为由逮捕了老人的长女与外孙女。此次事件也引发了日本列岛的连锁反应,最终导致23万惊人数字的横空出世。
据日本厚生劳动省的抽样调查结果,全日本85岁以上领取退休金的老人中至少有3%的人存在冒领嫌疑。
尽管日本政府宣布,由于统计方法的原因,23万消失的人瑞不会影响日本人的平均寿命,也不会对各地政府的行政造成影响。但曾以世界第一长寿大国而骄傲的日本因此所承受的“心灵冲击”恐怕很难因政府如此轻描淡写的表述而平复。 - Re: 花好月圆 第九 Chelsea Chelsea,life is a Cabaret, old chumposted on 09/11/2010
读到郭台铭的这几句话:
真正的英雄,早就死在沙场上,而不是回来拿奖章的人。
天才就让他留在天上。天才型研发人员到每一家公司都令人头痛。我不是天才,因为天才只能留在天上,我们顶多是人才,但要有执行力才算数。
……….
这个郭董的确是个人物…真正做事的的确很少天才…人是在磨难中出来的。

Epitaph on the tomb of Nikos Kazantzakis in Heraklion:
Δεν ελπίζω τίποτα. Δε φοβούμαι τίποτα. Είμαι λεύτερος.
I hope for nothing. I fear nothing. I am free.
We have seen the highest circle of spiraling powers. We have
named this circle God. We might have given it any other name
we wished: Abyss, Mystery, Absolute Darkness, Absolute Light,
Matter, Spirit, Ultimate Hope, Ultimate Despair, Silence.
We come from a dark abyss, we end in a dark abyss, and we call the luminous interval life.
A man needs a little madness, or else he never dares cut the rope and be free. - posted on 09/14/2010
今早开心一笑的新闻:
疯子政治家互咬,世界政治里要是没有卡斯特罗、没有Sarkozy,该是多么乏味的世界。凡人皆草芥,政治家按几个按钮就可以了结我们。
Cuba's Fidel Castro says Nicolas Sarkozy going crazy
Mr Castro also suggested Mr Sarkozy could not be trusted with his finger on the nuclear trigger.
In the article, Mr Castro denounces Mr Sarkozy for the expulsion of more than 1,000 Roma (Gypsy) migrants, over which France has been widely condemned.
At the weekend, Mr Castro accused Paris of carrying out a "racial holocaust".

In a comment piece published in La Jornada newspaper on Monday, the 84-year-old former leader points out that France is the world's third biggest nuclear power and says Mr Sarkozy carries around a briefcase with the launch codes for an arsenal of more than 300 atomic weapons.
"Suppose that Sarkozy suddenly goes crazy, as appears to be happening. What would the UN Security Council do in that case with Sarkozy and his briefcase?" he says.
In the tirade, entitled The Endless Hypocrisy of the West, Mr Castro adds: "What will happen if the far right forces Sarkozy to hold a racist policy in contradiction with the norms of the European Community?"
He also says: "Does it make any moral or ethical sense to launch an attack on Iran, which is condemned for its supposed intention to make bombs of this type? Where is the sense and logic of this policy?"
"Would the UN Security Council answer those two questions?" he added.
France said the holocaust comments over its expulsion of members of the Roma community were unacceptable and showed Mr Castro's ignorance of history.

红歌里面也有很多百听不厌的,只要把红军改成Shiva或者Hunuman就很好了,这是诗经一样的好民歌。循环往复,完全可以改编成任何宗教歌曲。
