It appears that we have reached the Edge, that zenith where stimuli and comatose collide. 40 years ago, The man proclaimed The Age of the Gross to be upon us, and even though The Man was destroying our heritage and insulting our intelligence, THAT ERA HAS BECOME VERY REAL. We labor for pleasure and abhor the guilt of pressure. My Generation will go down as the Architects of Contemporary Disgust. Some have fought and died, others have allowed the Strong to be butchered for a price they themselves don’t care about and will never understand. I myself am beleagured by the selfish force of A Kind of Man this is NOT MANKIND. Distrust in information - Fundamentalism of opinion - Catastrophic Boredom, and a Fanatical Devotion to that which DOES NOT MATTER. Where is your Glory now, people? Where are your Gods and politicians? Where is your Shame and Salvation? You Rage for no reason because you have no Reason. What have you ever FOUGHT for? What have you ever BLED for? The Face of the Earth is scarred with the walking Dead. The Age of the Gross is a Living Virus. This is the future  you have created. This is the world you have set ablaze.

ALL YOUR LIES ARE COMING TRUE.

ALL FREEDOM IS LOST.

ALL HOPE IS GONE.

Slipknot新碟《All Hope is Gone》嘅序言，明唔晒佢想講乜（the man proclaimed the age of the gross即係邊個？），但感受到那份urgency。

Sorry，繼續馬拉，因為實在太多人get唔到。

她的幽默以及她的可笑，盡在這條短片中，剪得實在很好，都是我如此這般歡喜她的原因。

The worse the times are, the more we need a diva!

可是馬拉的海豚叫比鸚鵡面臨宰割前的嗌救命還要高音。

見她手上的charmbracelet及trademark蝴蝶戒指，片段應該是02/03年出品。

某年法國Eurobest歌唱比賽，邀得馬拉跟4位決賽者合唱幾首經典。

一開首唱〈My All〉的女參賽者表現出色，〈Heartbreaker〉變成男版更見驚喜。

惟獨到2分50秒，1位扮Il Divo男生加opera女生合唱〈Hero〉卻有點甩轆，男的入唔切，女的甩嘴，高音位都相當勉強。此時，身為特別嘉賓的馬拉，終於忍唔住發功喇！

2分57秒，opera女高音牽牛上樹，馬拉使出殺手鐧怒爆殺狗高音足足10秒，問你死未！加上女神甫士，不但將2位參賽者於不顧，更完全陶醉於自創的canine language之中。真係唔知佢想幫拖、轉移視線定點！

請問。

可以搶少一次嘢做嗎？

可以扮少一次不留神嗎？

可以少害我們一次嗎？

到底你出過甚麼陰招、灌過甚麼迷湯，以至人哋會覺得，你冇得睇演唱會係我嘅責任？

點解？

點解？

期待才是一件事最標腎上腺素的部分–很期待9月尾巴黎之旅。

我想，就算放假給我離開香港，終極目標其實只是狂hea，甚麼都不做。那甚麼都不做的巴黎，又有甚麼好值得期待呢？跟甚麼都不做的長洲有甚麼分別呢？（得得得……我知好大分別。）

唔計數/ 唔合乎經濟效益，並非大件事，但唔對路。

其實。我暗啞底真的覺得自己很有條件成為藍潔瑛的。我可否在巴黎當半天藍潔瑛？

明朝將為工事出埠 （2小時後理應on the way，但好明顯我甚麼都未動過），自由時間，計落，只得一個傍晚以及一個中午，可以做的很多也很少。

我可否讓自己這般蝕桌，就在六本木山當半天藍潔瑛？

這數天來回老人院，我知我的所有情緒加起來乘以一萬一千一百一十，都不比長期卧床的阿女麻的所思所感來得真實、沉重。

事實是老人院只是休養的中途站，當服藥情況穩定過來，自會安排阿女麻回鄉下由親人照顧。

只是，就算她心理上能有所調適，明白我們沒有把她丟在一旁。沒人在側的每天20多小時，她可以如何自處呢？

生老病，我們各自面對。愛，真的會令生命沒那麼孤寂嗎？

那為什麼我不單沒能夠分擔她的苦痛或將之減輕–就算是極微量極微量–還一頭裁進那有關時間、生命、成長的虛蕪，不可能超脫的迷思當中？

Blog的comments同category都壞了。唔知做乜。

修過，修不來。唉。

不相熟的你，有sharing請email我: o2lam@hotmail.com，MSN亦可。

Sharing是很重要的，沒有sharing，我們跟一舊石頭、一條鹹魚或一條柱有咩分別？

所以說，sharing真是很好的。Sharing令你我知道心中所想，令你/我知道我/你曾經思想過，曾確切地在某時空不只存活，還曾無形但確切地影響過其他人，in a constructive way。

多謝各位，謝過。

由Akon（26/7）、Travis（29/7）、Alicia Keys（31/7），馬來西亞之行（1-3/8）到Live n’ Loud（5/8），機場更終於告一段落。

還有Stereophonics（24/7）、影約做專訪，這2星期，沒完沒了，都幾恐怖，心理上失去知覺。

Live n’ Loud當晚，本來聽完OneRepublic已經好想走，因為不喜歡壓軸的Simple Plan，正確來說係SP的新碟，因為悶到喊。舊歌〈Welcome to My Life〉從前可常聽，算是favorite之一。

但聽Live又完全改觀，現場聽SP，立體得多，聽到狂fing猛跳。

當〈Welcome to My Life〉響起，全身雞皮疙瘩起來，第2個verse，我在激烈呼喊的同時，默默流了兩行眼淚。超感性。

為甚麼？為甚麼這個世界容納了那麼多破壞社會和平、為求目的不擇手段的賤人？

我厭倦所有的不公平、不公義，卻又無能為力。

甚麼都做不來，甚麼都不想做。

SP在SINGfest的表演，大合唱、連tag基本上都差唔多，但Live n’ Loud現場氣氛好多了。

〈Welcome to My Life〉

Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place?
Like somehow you just don’t belong
And no one understands you
Do you ever wanna runaway?
Do you lock yourself in your room?
With the radio on turned up so loud
That no one hears you screaming

*No you don’t know what it’s like
When nothing feels all right
You don’t know what it’s like
To be like me

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you’re down
To feel like you’ve been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one’s there to save you
No you don’t know what it’s like
Welcome to my life*

Do you wanna be somebody else?
Are you sick of feeling so left out?
Are you desperate to find something more?
Before your life is over

Are you stuck inside a world you hate?
Are you sick of everyone around?
With their big fake smiles and stupid lies
While deep inside you’re bleeding

repeat *

No one ever lied straight to your face
No one ever stabbed you in the back
You might think I’m happy but I’m not gonna be okay
Everybody always gave you what you wanted
Never had to work it was always there

repeat **

Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life

我覺得我唔算成日懶忙。所以sung的時候應該係一件事囉。

呢兩個星期，真係好多嘢做囉。
