Ben Harper - Burn one down

"Burn One Down"

Let us burn one from end to end,
And pass it over to me my friend.
Burn it long, we'll burn it slow,
To light me up before I go.

If you don't like my fire, then don't come around,
'cause I'm gonna burn one down.
Yes, I'm gonna burn one down.

My choice is what I choose to do,
And if I'm causing no harm, it shouldn't bother you.

Your choice is who you choose to be,
And if you're causin' no harm, then you're alright with me.

If you don't like my fire, then don't come around,
'cause I'm gonna burn one down.
Yes, I'm gonna burn one down.

Herb the gift from the earth,
And what's from the earth is of the greatest worth.
So before you knock it try it first,
Oh, you'll see it's a blessing and not a curse.

If you don't like my fire, then don't come around,
'cause I'm gonna burn one down.
Yes, I'm gonna burn one, oohhh.

Arizona

今天溫度70度F,熱熱的剛剛好
整個變笨變慢了很多...
這趟旅程去了Sedona, Flagstaff,大峽谷,las vegas,鳳凰城,還有Tucson
Sedona到大峽谷整個冷到不行,大峽谷積雪積的好深,還有有帶雪衣
可是我對冷天還是沒有辦法,因為很冷所以我整個感冒超嚴重的,還好我有帶感冒藥在身上
ㄧ下到拉斯維加斯溫度上升我感冒就好了
昨天在鳳凰城住在我們同學Michelle的家,Michelle的爸媽還準備了火鍋給我們吃,真的是超幸福的
今天到了Tucson好熱歐,好久沒有感覺"熱"了,太陽曬的我都變慢了,超爽的
現在感覺很笨,回Seattle把照片整理一下再來多寫ㄧ些東西

媽呀,這是在告訴我我太努力工作了嗎?

我同學長的好像比爾蓋茲

校園

因為答應了楊媽媽要放校園的美景上來,所以這個周末特地拿著相機去照了

這是我上學的途中,某天早上拍的,大概是8點左右吧


學校裡到處都是這麼紅的樹


音樂學院


往體育館的路上和體育館旁邊的停車場



學校附近的小徑和我的同學兼網"球"友-今年要結婚了的喬瑟夫先生(he's getting married la, don't worry. :P)



商學院


藝術/文學院的廣場




HUB(學生活動中心)附近




學校的建築真的很美阿



從我家看出去,好紅的日落,可惜中間被其他建築物擋住了

有些歌手就是只有ㄧ兩首歌好聽,不過千萬不要忘記這一兩首歌

Curbside Prophet
lyrics by jason mraz, billy galewood, and christina ruffalo

i’m just a curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and i’m waiting for my rocket to come
i’m just a curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and i’m waiting for my rocket y'all, hey


ya see it started way back in nyc
when i stole my first rhyme from the m.i.c.
at a west end avenue at 63
the beginning of a leap year, february, ’96
when a guitar picked up in the mix
i committed to the licks like a nickel back of tricks
well look at me now
look at me now
look at me now, now, now, now


i'm just a curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and i'm waiting for my rocket to come
i'm just a curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and i'm waiting for my rocket y'all, hey


well you’re never never gonna guess
where i’ve been been been
and i have no regrets
that i bet my whole checking account
because it all amounts to nothing up in the end
well you can only count on the road again
will soon be on the radio dial
and i been payin close attention to the willie nelson style
like a a band of gypsies on the highway while
as i’m a one man wishin on the california skyline
drive up the coast i brag and i boast
because i’m pickin up my pace and makin time like space ghost
raising a toast to the highway patrol with the most
but my cruise control's on coast
cause i'm tourin around the nation on extended vacation
see i got Elsa the dog who exceeds my limitation
i say, i like your style, crazy pound pup
you need a ride? 'woof'
well come on, girl, hop in the truck


with the curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and i'm waiting for my rocket to come
i'm just a curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and i'm waiting for my rocket y'all
i'm just a curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and i'm waiting for my rocket to come on
i'm just a curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and i'm waiting for my rocket y'all


see i'm a down home brother, redneck undercover
with my guitar here i'm ready to play
and i'm a sucker for philly
got a natural ability to give the freestyle
look at my flexibility
dangerous on the mic
my ghetto hat's cocked right
all the ladies say, "yo, that kid is crazy"
we got the backstage betties taking more than they can get

they say, "what's up with m-r-a-z?"


hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
something's different in my world today
well they changed my traffic sign to a brighter yellow
hey, hey, something's different in my world today
well they changed my traffic sign to a brighter yellow
i'm just a curbside prophet love
a curbside brother love
a curbside brother love
a curbside oh come on
i'm just a curbside prophet and i'm waiting for my rocket
i'm waiting for my rocket to come

rumors

證實有此傳言了,同學都在傳說班上的帥哥都在我這一組...
可是我怎麼會到最近才發現呢......
天ㄚ,我不想被重新分組......

Concussion

禮拜五早上結束一個group presentation,結束後整個人就整個鬆掉了,整整兩個禮拜,每天都在開會、上課、career center跟events中間衝來衝去的,完全就快瘋掉了
這整個禮拜以來幾乎每天都跟我的group meeting,結果就是有人開始shift away,有人被發現insecure about not holding control,然後我們四個27歲的傢伙們感情越來越好
據說我們組是人人稱羨的一組,我在猜想是不是因為有三個帥哥的關係呢...:P
所以應該是說,我是被人人稱羨的一個傢伙,因為我們組有三個不同類型的帥哥
好了,不要再用炫耀辭了

我昨天早上跟我同學去打football, 我這個不自量力的傢伙,居然試圖要tackleㄧ個7 feet tall的big guy,so I flied, hit myself on the ground, and had a little concussion. Lied on the ground for 5 minutes, and felt dizzy. Then I had a headache for a day, but now I feel a lot better. <- Sean, don't tell mom about that. That's why I write it in english.

Anyway, 我開始適應這邊的生活了,雖然ㄧ直下雨,不過往光明面看,如果外面都是大太陽,你在圖書館裡就會感到很悲慘 "you would feel miserable if it's sunny out there while you are in the library." 這是我組員告訴我的,哀......

不經一番寒徹骨,醃得梅花撲鼻香

梅花鋪嚕鋪嚕的在醬汁裡面掙扎求生阿......

渡船

我們那天有去坐船遊lake washington & lake union (就在我們學校旁邊),大概花了三個小時左右吧
還有看到Getz的家,雖然他保護的太好,都看不出來是啥
後面那個有趣的房子是Win98的designer的房子,所以它有98 windows, I'm not kidding.

我跟我的好朋友莎莉美眉

請注意,我們手上的飲料是可樂,因為船上酒要錢...
我同學不知道為啥偷拍我跟我同學在聊天,但是我居然只有後腦杓!!!
莎莉美眉後來解釋說,因為她覺得我同學Nathan長的像威廉王子...|||...所以偷拍人家......
我完全被當作背後靈了...ooxx......不過威廉王子is married, and his daughter is 1 month old now. 所以折價的很嚴重.

後排中間那兩個女生是我們的印度同學,英文並不會很難懂耶(而且還講的超好),身上也沒有嘎哩味,人還超好的!!! 唯一的男性是莎莉美眉偷偷暗戀的對象,不上相的小班,有人說本人有像貝克漢(???!!!),還好我的品味很奇怪......

好了,一口氣寫了三篇,下一次不知道什麼時候才能寫了呵呵

不過

忘了說,我這幾天不知道是怎樣(有點經前憂鬱?),還是太累了?總之就是有點depressed, 然後都會不經意的想起我的故鄉.
因為這邊已經有點冷了,(現在外面大概是49度F=9度C左右吧),我感覺家裡後山那條往靶場的小路一定還是很舒服,我想起溫州街,師大,光點那邊(這我就不知道為什麼了),寶藏巖,大溪,淡水,八里,鹿港,台中女中那裡,台大,汀洲路,新店的家(我很懷念這個,還有小奶)<--這邊是我最懷念的,還有想到中橫,花蓮,台東,墾丁. 我也很想老爸老媽老哥傑夫,簡妙妙爛肥,還有黃瓊慧(因為你會在我網誌上留言..CCC)其他人只有被我稍微想念一下,嘿嘿嘿,人都出國了就可以肆無忌憚亂講話.
不過事情就是這樣,不可以亂想家.
我感覺Yes, I'm spontaneously rotating, and I think I'm rotating in my own path and in my own style. However, I just feel down.
我喜歡這裡,我喜歡Seattle,在夏天的時候...
下雨還是很美,可是下雨好冷
都看不到人
我好想念跟爸媽去後山散步,好想念跟爛肥笑點很low的笑話
還是不可以亂想念...

又過了快ㄧ個月

在這邊時間真的過的好快,每天都有做不完的事情,每天都好累好愛睏
我現在已經比較習慣什麼事都用英文溝通了,上課也比較有辦法舉手說話
美國人真的都很愛上課不斷舉手發表意見耶,我們有一堂課叫做leading organization
老師評分的標準有25%居然是participation
結果就是大家不斷舉手,平均任何時候大概都有三隻手舉在空中等待發言吧
還有人舉手舉到酸了,就用另ㄧ隻手撐著乾脆不放下來了
ㄧ開始的時候真的很難跟上,光是消化老師講的東西就消化不完了,更別提提出有建議性的意見了
不過我現在都不管,反正就舉手吧,管它有沒有建議性
反正老師也知道英文是我們的secondary language,應該會對我們比較寬貸吧...:P
總之我就是覺得,不管怎樣都會過關的啦!

不過我們的professors真的都很professional,跟大學時候的上課狀況比起來差超多的
不愧是managerial的課,會計經濟都很注重從實務去分析理論,leadership org也很有趣
我最喜歡的老師就是經濟老師了(雖然他第一個作業居然給我們低分,因為我們回答太多了),我們的老師Ali,據說他是ㄧ個利比亞(之類的)的逃犯,跑到美國尋求政治庇護的,就是那款天才型老師,把經濟給你說的有時讓你通體舒暢,有時讓你心癢難騷,有時讓你咬牙切齒. 今天他上課的時候問了ㄧ個很難的問題要大家回答,沒有人回答的出來,他的表情ㄧ副很痛苦的樣子,還嘆了ㄧ聲氣,真不是普通好笑的. 我再網路上看到一個人寫他還蠻有趣的:
This morning I curse Ali Tarhouni, my microeconomics professor. Lest you assume I don't like Ali, I like him fine. Correction: I adore him. After all, how many professors look at your befuddled face and pledge they'll explain microeconomics to you if it's the "last thing [they] do before [they] die"?
偶像的照片: http://bschool.washington.edu/faculty/faculty_detail.asp?ID=2
會計老師也講的很好. 我的組員們都很聰明也很nice,雖然是經過一番磨合後的結果,不過目前合作的還蠻愉快的.

我貼ㄧ點之前去酒莊玩的照片給大家看一下

這位男士是我們的同學,他是"火奴魯魯"人歐,不過他習慣用英文:D




這瓶紅酒真是絕品,大家如果有機會看到一定要買來喝喝看

Let's go Mariners!

野餐

忘記了有沒有跟大家說,之前我跟我同學(現在是我的好朋友~)Cheryl,我之前sublease她家,我們兩個人煮了ㄧ鍋滷牛肉,然後燙個青菜,帶個飯,就走路到我們學校旁邊的湖畔(lake union-是那種有跨湖大橋,有人在裡面開遊艇跟划kayak以及canoe的湖),野餐。湖畔野餐耶! 有沒有這麼悠閒阿! 不過那是大概...兩個禮拜前的事了吧... 就是因為之後都一直忙,所以根本沒控寫這件事阿...
還有告訴各位ㄧ件事情,那就是,我目前使用的外接鍵盤可是沒有注音的! ㄧ切都是靠記憶說!



湖畔!真的是湖畔!而且我魯的牛肉超好吃的!
嘿嘿嘿

炫耀文

先看看我的房間吧
書桌區:

舒舒服服的床:

my super big closet:

小櫃子區:

那天夜色超美的:

我家陽台看出去,對面有一個motel:

當天晚餐的主菜是:蔥爆牛肉! 我做的毆!再加上一份燙高麗菜,煮個飯,飯後洗了ㄧ大盤的草莓(才3塊多吧),我們三個女生吃的超飽的,嘖嘖,果然還是要大家圍在一起吃飯才會有家的感覺阿! 說真的,我來這邊之後已經愛上煮菜了,而且發現只要跟著食譜走,又簡單、又好吃、又便宜,真的是超爽的啦! 我決定要趁現在還有時間,多多煮飯,多多享受剩下的陽光!

the locks+golden park beach+the troll

The locks是ㄧ個運河,有設計給鮭魚往上回朔的鮭魚梯(selmon ladder)歐
橋會自己分開呢

接下來是在golden park beach,後來有天晚上去那邊烤肉,(目前大約九點天黑),整個沙灘上人超多的
就像那種festivalㄧ樣,大家都在烤火,有人在玩手鼓、有人在玩火舞,不過那時沒拍:D

照片上是我們語言課程所有的女生:D
接下來就是我最愛的the troll,troll在『给你跌倒』裡面也有出現歐!這個是在一個橋下的藝術作品,相當可愛。

照片上的三個男生是我們班的兩個阿拉伯男生和ㄧ個西班牙男生,禮拜五那天跟那個西班牙男生去打squash,差點沒有死在當場...

safeco field

先應楊哥哥的要求放一些safeco field的照片啦!
昨天去看Mariners+Angles的,Mariner輸了:~~~~~~
這隻"GO MARINERS"狗超屌的








我們的座位是在最上一層的,所以看不太到什麼啦...
