新瓶裝舊酒

去年的這個時候, 當兵
前年的這個時候, GRE
--
今年的這個時候呢? 小說(?)
--
"創意其實只是新瓶裝舊酒"
兩年前練習GRE作文, 這是我還有印象的題目.
很像還挺有道理的 :)
I agree with it!
--
寫了三個月的小說, 雖然說後來的步調和剛開始時根本不成比例XD
不過跌跌撞撞, 一百多天也是過去了.
完全沒有看書的習慣, 書店只是買文具的地方,
這樣的一個人, 寫書(?)
總是藉口著, 不看書是怕自己受其他作家的影響,
靈感也好, 寫作風格也好, 用字也好.
--
其實只是懶惰吧...
--
步履蹣跚的, 終於寫到一半, 卻才要是重點.
沒法, 因為我不懂長篇小說的架構, 和短篇大大不同
喜歡短篇, 也習慣寫短篇的我, 卻決定了十萬多字的作品.
怎麼能討喜?
可是我知道我要繼續.
--
之前看了藤子不二雄, 小叮噹作者的另一部短篇作品
名為"異色短篇集", 總共六本, 每本都有約五個黑色幽默的小品.
藤子不二雄先生真的是個很有想法的人.
我被他的作品深深吸引.
卻在他的某個短篇"平行同學會"裡看到了自己小說的類似想法.
--
還是...........重覆了啊我
--
並不沮喪, 創意只是新瓶裝舊酒
其實我挺高興的. :)
要繼續寫了.
--
還剩下兩個多月就要出國.
或許我應該唸些數學, 唸些英文, which seems to be more pratical
但是大多數的時間, 我, 寫小說, 想劇情.
because it's really something to me.
something like a goal, a mission, as a mark on my road.

so far so cool

已經是夏天了吧!
昨天下午的大雨, 到底醞釀了多久呢?
在公車出信義快速道路隧道的那一剎那, 霹靂啪啦.
我回神.
--
總是讓我想起高二的夏天,
宛如瀑布般的大雨, 在零四年的五月,
拿著用塑膠袋包好的會報初稿, 踏著無士兵幫我買的藍白拖鞋,
走在往資訊大樓的路上.
這樣的畫面, 稱不上經典, 卻可能是永生難忘.
我的大二下.
--
今年的夏天似乎比以往涼快.
so far so cool

24

24, Kobe's number, and my age.
--
it's said that the best way to relax your brain is to keep it busy.
That is, once you don't have time to think, you don't have the worries.
It does make sense like one of the principles for lieutetant to manage
his soldiers - never let them idled, or they would do some crazy and
stupid things, which really are beyond your expectation.
I never followed that though.
It has been 5 months since my leaving from military.
Clearly, a part of me will stay in that stage forever -- my 23.
--
And now I was 24.
"24 already...," I repeat those words on bed, on the recent nights.
I put my arms front of my chest quietly, like an old man rest in peace,
confessing himself to the God perahps.
I have no religion, but do so on my way to 25.
--
24
My mom gave birth to me when shw was 24.
And now as a 24-year-old "boy", I'm still in her shelter.
--
"24? am I 24? And what's all about it?"
these words frequently emerged in my mind and sometimes a "fuck" followed that.
--
2 years from my university graduation.
I decided not to shorten my duration of military service.
The salary was approximately 19 thousand dollars per month, which had been
stored possibly and carefully. 14 months passed, however, the fact is that
it still could hardly cover my one-year housing amount.
--
My parents provide me fully to study aboard regardless of the tremendous risks.
They say it's an investment ever worthy. Maybe they believe in their son more
than himself does. I don't know. I am not that confident, and smart.
Few weeks ago, in a rainy day, my grandmom gave me an red envelope,
saying that she may pass away in any minute, hoping to give her grandson
a little support.
The notebook I'm typing is my aunt's, who is another big patron to me.
ATO wanted to give me the lucky chain from 信, but was rejected in that
I think he has already done too much for me.
--
"Sir, honestly, I'm jealous of you," one of my soldier once told me.
True, I should feel grateful, and I do.
--
24, on my way to 25
Two months later, I'll be in Atlanta.
Two months is short, I know.
--
"A flower in greenhouse." The phrase prefectly describes myself
, even I was 24 already.
I felt no fear about the unknown coming days, but indeed there are lots of
things which should be learned for me.
I have to pick them up quickly because there is no time to be wasted.
Because I was 24.
--
No more excuse, no grumble, and no frustration.
Ya, I'm on my way, where marked 24.
