"Anyone who cannot come to terms with his life while he is alive needs on hand to ward off a little his despair over his fate—he has little success in this—but with the other hand he can note down what he sees among the ruins, for he sees different (and more) things than do the others; after all, dead as he is in his own lifetime, he is the real survivor. This assumes that he does not need both hands, or more hands than he has, in his struggle against despair."--Kafka

熨平

(一)
除了與電影、音樂、劇場、文字有關的事情外,我絕少寫題外話,今次例外。
回家,得知商台的「不設劃位」收檔(我是聽重播的,所以未必最快得知消息),我氣憤得不得了,「不設劃位」和「思潮作動」是我兩大至愛節目,我說我是「偽影痴」,因為我不算得上是異常沉迷這些文化事物(起碼我會先打理我的工作、學業、家人朋友才會談興趣),但起碼我擁護不一樣的東西。我很討厭很討厭現時的香港,政府和商家把一切異類熨平,這社會越來越單一,缺乏有趣另類的事情,聽歌就請聽罐頭音樂,看電影請看荷里活大片,讀新聞請讀經自我審查的文字,搞派對請搞健康道德派對。你知道沒有minority 有多大件事嗎?你沒有choice,你會越來越因循,越來越麻木,越來越妥協......太多長輩說過八十年代是多百花齊放的年代,葉輝悼念讀書好年代,MCB 沒了,阿麥書房完結了,商台改變了。
政治上,文化上,都統戰成功,有權勢的人不相信我們配得上有尊嚴(王丹語),香港已死。

(二)
香港人面孔模糊,走在街上,你一個LV,我一個Gucci,我其實不反對買一兩個名牌傍身,但,當我知道買$5,000 一個的名牌手袋,可以買100本新晉作家的書籍,看100齣電影,買50張CD,甚至是20齣話劇,我寧可支持真正有意思有趣的創作人,如鄧小樺說,她的朋友是鬥不換手機的,省下的都在買有意思的東西。
你知道為何權勢可熨平我們?其中一個很重要的原因,是你沒有運用你最有本錢的東西去對抗,有權勢的人都怕沒錢,我一直相信消費者的力量,用你的金錢,去支持真正有意思的東西吧。

(三)
悼念吧!我希望早生十年,甚至廿年,起碼經歷過百花齊放的好年代。

I was born with the wrong sign
In the wrong house
With the wrong ascendancy
I took the wrong road
That led to the wrong tendencies
I was in the wrong place at the wrong time
For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme
On the wrong day of the wrong week
I used the wrong method with the wrong technique
