Niners QB Smith ready to move past troubles with injuries, coaches
Associated Press
----
"It was such a crazy situation last year," Smith said. "We're both excited to be moving on from it."
Smith claims to be encouraged by the 49ers' latest coaching overhaul, with coordinator Mike Martz arriving and Nolan staying while old coordinator Jim Hostler, quarterbacks coach Frank Cignetti and other offensive assistants departed.
Smith and Nolan were on much shakier ground late last year, when the struggling quarterback publicly questioned the 49ers' handling of the shoulder injury that eventually ended his season. Smith also claimed Nolan undermined him in comments to his teammates, and Smith rarely appeared at the 49ers' training complex after his surgery.
"He and I are both looking forward to putting last year behind us," Smith said. "I've talked to him several times and we're both excited about it. I know I definitely am, because I know that's not a reflection on either of us. We're both better than that, and I think we're looking forward to honestly erasing that and proving to people, not only in this building but everywhere, that we're definitely going to move on."
----
"There's definitely not a lot of the clicking and things that were going on before," said Smith, whose strained forearm is no longer a problem. "The main thing is to work out that tightness and stiffness in some areas. ... I still have another month or so to get it where it needs to be, so I'm trying to take my time with it."
The 49ers hope Smith is in shape to participate in their post-draft minicamp in early May, when he'll have to begin the process of winning a starting job for the first time since his rookie season. Shaun Hill, the career third-stringer who won two starts as a late-season replacement for Trent Dilfer, will get a chance to compete with Smith, according to Martz and Nolan.
----
About Martz:
"You just look at the track record (Martz) has had with all his quarterbacks and the way they've played, the numbers they've put up and where they've taken their games," Smith said. "I feel like that's a level I haven't even been at in the NFL, in terms of reaching my potential. ... It's definitely different, but I guess that's the one thing I've grown accustomed to is the change. That's kind of normal in the NFL, and you get used to it real quick."

Lincecum strikes out 9 in 5 no-hit innings and San Francisco Giants beat Oakland A's 3-0
Friday, March 28, 2008
Tim Lincecum provided a bright spot in a rather dismal spring for the San Francisco Giants on Friday night.
Lincecum struck out nine in five no-hit innings and the Giants beat the cross-bay Oakland Athletics 3-0.
"The first inning I was big," Lincecum said. "My first inning was like seven or eight pitches and I got on a roll. And then I found my rhythm from there."
Lincecum, scheduled to pitch the Giants' third game of the season against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday, was masterful in a steady drizzle, keeping Oakland off balance.
"The kid threw well," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "It was a nice tune up for him. It was a big win for us. The way we played tonight was what we were looking for.
"We pitched well. We executed and we played crisp baseball. That's what it's going to take for us to win games."
Lincecum's performance was a needed lift for the Giants, who snapped a five-game losing streak that included a loss to Fresno, their Triple-A affiliate on Wednesday.
In his last three outings, Lincecum has struck out 20 batters.
And Lincecum had no hard feelings about being removed from a no-hitter.
"I wasn't really thinking about that," said Lincecum. "I got done what I wanted."
The game was the first for the A's since they returned from Japan, where they split their first two regular season games against the Red Sox.
"Lincecum threw the ball real well," A's manager Bob Geren said. "He had a very, very good fastball. Also, it wasn't very good conditions to hit, but still, he threw very well."
During the early innings of the game, a steady drizzle fell drenching the players and field.
"It was cool, it was damp. There's a guy out there throwing 96, touching 98, that could as easily have happened in July," Geren said.

Zito determined to build on strong finish
Ace's last nine starts in rough 2007 give Giants hope in '08
For much of the spring, Zito looked like a dubious choice as the Giants' No. 1 starter. He allowed seven runs or more in three of his first four Cactus League assignments, recording a 14.92 ERA. But his 5 2/3 shutout innings on March 21 against the White Sox muted the skeptics.
Zito has endured plenty of cynicism since becoming a Giant. The seven-year, $126 million contract he received before the 2007 season, which at the time made him the highest-paid pitcher in baseball history, immediately prompted observers to declare that he wasn't worth it. The 8-11 record and 5.13 ERA he built in his first 25 games didn't help.
But Zito recovered in his final nine starts, posting a 3-2 mark with a 3.10 ERA and a .200 opponents' batting average. Although Zito's 11-13 record and 4.53 ERA overall were career worsts, his strong finish generated plenty of hope among the Giants for this year.
"Last year, during the course of the season, he was a different pitcher," manager Bruce Bochy said. "What he should feel good about was how he finished the season. That's what he needs to build on to carry into this season. I don't look at the middle of the season when he had some rough starts, and he shouldn't either. That's behind him."
----
Zito gave the doubters fresh material this spring when he altered his pitching motion for the second year in a row. Last year, he tinkered with his stride in February before returning to the delivery that helped him amass a 102-63 record with Oakland from 2000-06. This time, Zito waited until his third Cactus League start before pulling his surprise. He no longer brought his hands over his head from the windup, explaining that this change synchronized his hands with his kicking leg more properly.
"I think my stuff has later movement," Zito said. "You always want your stuff to move as late as possible so the hitter can't gauge it and basically determine where the ball's going to be when he swings at it."
Zito has struggled in his previous Opening Day starts, losing all three of them while compiling a 9.49 ERA. This includes last year's opener against the Padres, who defeated the Giants, 7-0, as Zito surrendered three runs (two earned) on four hits in five innings.
This kind of history never entered Bochy's mind as he named Zito to pitch Game 1 after the first workout for pitchers and catchers.
"When Barry hits the mound, we expect to win and we expect him to give us a chance to win," Bochy said. "That's not ever going to change for us."

Wang's 新聞(節錄自MLB.com)

Wang draws prestigious start
Right-hander final Opening Day starter in Yankee Stadium
By Bryan Hoch / MLB.com
Chien-Ming Wang missed his chance to pitch last year's season opener, but this assignment may prove even more prestigious.
The right-hander will be issued the ball for the final Opening Day in Yankee Stadium's 85-year history, drawing the March 31 start against the Blue Jays.
-----
Ranking second in the American League with a 2.75 home ERA and tying for third with 10 home wins, Wang is a logical choice to get the start in New York. His 21 wins in 33 Yankee Stadium starts over the last two seasons are the most home victories by any big league pitcher since the beginning of 2006.
He may have some added motivation as well. Wang missed last year's season opener after straining a hamstring during conditioning drills in late March -- he still remembers watching from his Tampa apartment as Carl Pavano drew the start for the Yankees.
----
"The two losses make me want to do even better this year," Wang said. "I want to make the coaches trust me even more in the future."
Girardi said that Wang's balanced and relaxed personality lends itself well to an assignment like Opening Day, and that he was glad Wang needed one month to get over his October disappointment.
"That tells me that he really cares and he wants to get better," Girardi said. "That actually excites me. I think he will continue to improve."

Wang's spring ends on down note
Girardi feels hitters were too comfortable with right-hander
By Bryan Hoch / MLB.com
With his last five innings of the spring in the books, Wang was given an exhibition loss in New York's 4-0 defeat to the Phillies at Bright House Field, but he also has something important to carry into the regular season.
The Phillies hit Wang around in the second inning for four runs on four hits, a frame that could have had much less damage if both Robinson Cano and Alex Rodriguez were able to turn double-play balls. Regardless, Yankees manager Joe Girardi thought Philadelphia batters were digging in a bit too much as the inning went on, and gave Wang his read upon returning to the dugout.
"Joe told me they were too comfortable," Wang said. "I didn't pitch inside enough."
----
"I thought he had a decent spring," Girardi said. "I thought today was his best day, which is good. [The pitchers are] developing arm strength and they're developing stamina during Spring Training."
And, once in a while, they get to hit. The Yankees played with National League rules for the first time on Wednesday, meaning that Wang actually had to grab a bat and dig in against Phillies starter Brett Myers for a couple of plate appearances.
To Wang's credit, the skills he last tested in a June Interleague series at San Francisco hadn't betrayed him; like Billy Crystal, at least he made contact. Wang popped a bunt over the mound for the final out of the second inning and was thrown out on another bunt in the fifth inning.
The infielders needn't have worried, even in the situation with two outs. With Opening Day looming near and any injury disastrous, the Yankees' instructions to Wang were extremely clear. "No swings," Wang said. "Just bunts."

Tuesday's With Morrie

About the Book
Maybe it was a grandparent, or a teacher, or a colleague. Someone older, patient and wise, who understood you when you were young and searching, helped you see the world as a more profound place, gave you sound advice to help you make your way through it.
For Mitch Albom, that person was Morrie Schwartz, his college professor from nearly twenty years ago.
Maybe, like Mitch, you lost track of this mentor as you made your way, and the insights faded, and the world seemed colder. Wouldn't you like to see that person again, ask the bigger questions that still haunt you, receive wisdom for your busy life today the way you once did when you were younger?
Mitch Albom had that second chance. He rediscovered Morrie in the last months of the older man's life. Knowing he was dying, Morrie visited with Mitch in his study every Tuesday, just as they used to back in college. Their rekindled relationship turned into one final "class": lessons in how to live.
Tuesdays with Morrie is a magical chronicle of their time together, through which Mitch shares Morrie's lasting gift with the world.
After four years on the New York Times bestseller list, Tuesdays with Morrie is at last available in paperback.

最近這些日子因為比較忙 所以看書的時間漸漸的縮水 但是我還是能湊出一些時間來看一下小說跟立志書籍^^"
記得前幾個禮拜把同班借我的<賺錢哲學>(作者：系山英太郎/著; 譯者：陳寶蓮)和兩個禮拜錢買的<人際暗流><推銷自己>再短時間內解決 發覺如果要充實自己 還是得靠攫取任何空閑的機會 做點有益處的事...
這本英文的書籍是我上禮拜在誠品挖掘出來的寶 雖然它是本已經出版許多年的已翻譯書籍 但經過思考 還是覺得如果要探求當事人之真意 尋求最真實的語句 非原文書莫屬 所以再度開啟我閱讀英文書的興趣...
讀後感:
Tuesdays With Morrie這本書的中文翻譯是<最後十四堂星期二的課> 其內容在於敘述一位罹患致命疾病的患者(書中的教授)與其相隔十幾年再度重逢的學生(作者) 再教授勝於十四週生命裏 每個禮拜每個禮拜師生間探討人生的定義和對於社會價值觀的評析與啟發 雖然教授在人生的末路上 但仍然昂然艇胸的面對即將面臨的命運與生離死別 學生在每週二的談論間 一點一滴的獲得一些對於自己的生命價值到底缺乏什麼?到底追求功名成就和更卓越的功名是不是比親人之間的愛和交流重要?
人們通常視為理所當然和細小事節在死的前夕化為啟迪和知識的泉源 談吐間教授透露的經驗和體驗死亡對身心的創傷但無畏精神 深深的印入作者腦海中 相信若有看過這本書的朋友們應該也會有相同的看法
在十四週的歷程中 我們看到了一個人突然遭受到大創的茫然 接受之後的堅定 分享傳承的熱心 犧牲剩餘的燭光發亮他人的人生 他的信念: Love is greater than anything 感動了作者對功名利錄仍然看待的比家庭還要重要的人 也讓他能夠反省自己對於家庭 工作 價值觀的看法是否需要迴轉 而我 身為一個讀者 以同理心想象自己若身處同樣機遇 也深深的被他述說的話語吸引 並佩服他不斷抱持樂觀的心 迎接每天每天上帝賦予他的病痛和煎熬 我相信每個人對死都有個人的恐懼與害怕 汲汲營營的人生也是為了之後的生活能夠在老後或是退休後獲得物質上的享受與快樂 但所謂的快樂真的是建立在物質的享樂和地位的謀取嗎? 我們即使賺在多的錢 獲得至高的權位 難道沒有愛相伴的話 我們仍然會是個完整的人嗎? 作者在聽了教授的話 也積極的開始和家人交流互動
"Death can only take away my body,it can't take away my spirit" 就是教授最佳的人生寫照 一個人如果對於精神方面和家庭方面沒有照顧到 反而只有 Mixed up what we need with what we want 的話 死後你留下了什麼? 是一個墓碑上寫著某某董事長葬於此 還是一個深受愛戴 偉大的父親 親切的教授 至愛的丈夫跟啟發世人的教育家?
當然我們不可能不追求物質上的東西 也有可能在精神方面與生活上都是滿足的 然而從這本書還是可以給予我們一些建議 對做人處世也好 對未來方向也好 人一定會有生死 人一定會碰上病痛與傷創 如何秉持一個勇敢無懼的心理應對命運 燃燒活著的每一刻每一秒 相信都直得我們閱讀和學習
這本書我打算之後再一次深讀 因為每堂課給我的體會都不一樣 當你能從一本書感覺到有受益良多 感觸頗深的情境時 或許該叢書中在吸取一些什麼 也說不定^^

Giants 新聞

Giants' lackluster spring sparking trade rumors
Increasingly displeased by their product on the field, Giants officials have become more aggressive on the trade front and recently asked the Los Angeles Angels about first baseman Casey Kotchman and catcher Jeff Mathis, according to sources.
It's possible that the two clubs discussed sending Bengie Molina back to Anaheim; Angels officials are said to miss the former Gold Glove catcher's leadership and game-calling skills.
But the two sides were not close to a deal, since the Angels need to boost their injured rotation. The Giants are not in a position to trade pitching because of their own injury woes.
"No match," Angels general manager Tony Reagins said. "Not now."
The Giants are looking for ways to improve a roster that has failed to meet limited expectations while slogging through the Cactus League schedule. They managed four hits -- all singles -- in an 8-1 loss to the Angels at Tempe on Thursday. At 6-17-2, they have the worst exhibition record in the major leagues.
Their .253 batting average is the lowest in the Cactus League and their 7.11 ERA is the worst in the majors. They haven't been so hot catching the ball, either. Lacking Omar Vizquel's stabilizing play at shortstop, their infield continues to look a fright. Third baseman Eugenio Velez committed an error on a routine grounder hit right to him when he inexplicably sidestepped it and tried to field on a backhand.
"We need to turn it up here," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "We're not even playing decent ball. We've talked about it. We've addressed it numerous times. ... You see it. The guys are taking a ton of ground balls every day.
"We've got to keep working here. Believe me, we're aware we're not winning games. We'd like to win some in the next week here. But the last thing we need to do is start hanging heads."
Catcher needed?
The Giants are looking for catching help because their two candidates, Eliezer Alfonzo and Guillermo Rodriguez, have played their way off the roster.
Alfonzo, who was the most valuable player of the prestigious Venezuelan Winter League, is having the roughest spring of all. He is 3-for-40 (.075) with no walks and seven strikeouts.
Just as significantly, neither catcher has excelled behind the plate. Each allowed a passed ball Thursday.
It's another reason the Giants could decide to acquire Brandon Inge, since the Tigers' third baseman has experience at catcher.
"To be honest, yeah, we need somebody to step up and take that job," said Bochy, who challenged each catcher in one-on-one meetings. "I don't see anybody doing it."
Lowry taking it slow
Left-hander Noah Lowry is throwing a baseball again. Two weeks after surgery to correct a condition in his forearm, Lowry played catch from 50 feet for about five minutes. The session appeared to go as planned.
Because no standard rehab schedule exists for a pitcher rehabbing from Lowry's procedure, the Giants plan to reevaluate him each day before moving to the next step. Lowry could return as soon as late April.
Durham, Aurilia dinged
Second baseman Ray Durham was a late scratch with a sore hamstring and is day-to-day. Infielder Rich Aurilia started at designated hitter and hasn't thrown in a few days because of elbow tendinitis. Bochy said Aurilia might play the field today.

壞消息一堆 真是令人感到寒心 希望他們能振作 迎接賽季到來

49ers 新聞

Montana vs. Young it's not
If you thought the quarterback controversy in San Francisco was entertaining last year, it's only going to get better. Coach Mike Nolan has made it clear that Shaun Hill, who seems to have taken on legendary status after a few decent starts late last season, will compete with former No. 1 draft pick Alex Smith for the starting quarterback job.
Hill, who wasn't even drafted and spent most of his career in NFL Europe and on the Minnesota bench, has been given a new contract. Maybe this is Nolan's way of trying to challenge Smith to step up. But Nolan and Smith sniped at each other last season about the severity of the quarterback's shoulder injury.
Maybe Smith can get back into good graces and succeed under new offensive coordinator Mike Martz. But, keep in mind, Martz had a lot of success with another former NFL Europe quarterback (Kurt Warner) when he was in St. Louis.

Wang will start Opening Day for Yanks
Right-hander coming off back-to-back 19-win seasons

One year ago, Chien-Ming Wang got his hopes up to pitch on Opening Day before suffering both an injury and ultimate disappointment, forced to watch from a Tampa apartment as his team went north without him.
Barring a catastrophe in Wang's final start of Spring Training, he will finally get to find out what a season opener feels like. Yankees manager Joe Girardi confirmed Friday that Wang has been tabbed as the Opening Day starter, set to face the Blue Jays on March 31 in New York.
"He's earned it," Girardi said. "He's won 19 games the last couple of years and he's thrown the ball well the last couple of years. I'm comfortable starting him Opening Day."
The start will come on Wang's 28th birthday, one year after a strained right hamstring cost him most of April before he rebounded to tie a career high in wins for the second consecutive season, going 19-7 with a 3.70 ERA in 30 starts and establishing a career high with 104 strikeouts.
"I'm very happy," Wang said. "This is my first time on Opening Day. For me, it's big. I'm very excited.
"It shows that the coaches trust me. I still have a lot to learn."....
Wang hasn't had a whole lot of success this spring -- in four Grapefruit League starts, Wang is 2-1 with an 8.44 ERA in 10 2/3 innings.
But his track record speaks volumes: He has won more games than any other big league pitcher (38) over the last two years and leads the Majors with a .745 winning percentage in that time span, though he suffered two losses in the Yankees' first-round playoff exit against the Indians last October.
Wang has said that it took him a month to get over the playoff losses, in which he was roughed up for 12 runs and 14 hits in 5 2/3 innings. Pitching on three days' rest in the deciding Game 4 of the American League Division Series at Yankee Stadium, Wang did not retire an Indians batter in the second inning.
"The two losses make me want to do even better this year," Wang said. "I want to make the coaches trust me even more in the future."
Girardi said that Wang's balanced and relaxed personality lends itself well to an assignment like Opening Day, and that he was glad Wang needed one month to get over his October disappointment.
"That tells me that he really cares and he wants to get better," Girardi said. "That actually excites me. I think he will continue to improve."

台灣之光加油!!!
這季洋基的戰績就看你了

讀書心得 <人際暗流>

感想:
"人不為己 天誅地滅"
人性本來就是自私的 沒有利益結合的人際關係 到後來常常會落得一把空
當生活在職場上 相信別人 依靠別人 幫助別人 都不能只看他們可信任的外表或是殷切的態度
而把自己的未來 成就 寄託在他人身上
人生的崎嶇險惡 旁人的道貌岸然 友人的貌合神離 會再利益的消逝瞬間 完全顯現在眼眸裏
雖然不能說我們全世間的人們所締結的友誼和愛情都是虛偽的假象
但書中提到許多的重點 都是職場人際關係需要特別注意的
例如 當一個人無求回報的幫助你 一再的給予你好康 他內心可能貪婪的是你的權位 或是 當一個人表面上和你和諧相處 使你分散對他的戒心 背後他反而會發出暗箭 打擊你在職場上建立的名聲和地位 當一個女人使盡辦法要討好你 取得你的芳心 難道不能想像到他只是單方面冀求更優越的生活地位? 當一個下級屬下 每天假裝懈怠於他的工作 背後卻有可能獲得上司的愛戴與投資 升官永遠只有他的份 而使你缺席 或當同儕之間 雖然可能交情已經接近使幾二十年 當利字擺眼前 誰會懷疑其中一個會不顧友誼而謀求自身福利?
總總例子都顯示出 我們人心是善變的 是沒有所謂善 而僅有利 當我們的交情沒有利字存在 即便是最深交的夥伴 有時候也會暗暗的對你使出極盡奸詐狡猾的手段 獲得更具價值的職位或金錢
當然我不能把書中的全部內容都概括的反射於日常生活 因為例子都是處於職場中 或是長官部屬上級下級間的相處 但是我也無法否認 人際的建立上 雙方之間會有選擇性的各取所需 不管是情感方面 物質方面
當一個人可以說 我一開始和別人交往的過程當中 另一個人從來不求回報的付出 而我受盡了他的恩惠 也從來沒有給予他方一點回報 那我會說 這是柏拉圖式的友情 另外 如果一個人說 當我和我朋友交際的時候 我從來沒有在他背後說過他壞話 或是批評過他而舒坦心中不快 或是竊喜擷取了一些他的智慧或甜頭 那我也認為這是個淡如水般的情誼
這本書的黯淡灰暗 呈現人性惡的本質 一切的基礎建立再糾結的利益上 最後的結局都是無限的悲寂
雖然我仍然相信人跟人之間的交情 如果這樣看待世界不會存在 互相結怨仇視會毀滅社會體系
但 它仍然提醒了我們幾點再之後職場的人際應注意的方針:
1.人際之間要防範可能的暗箭
2.摸清一個人的底細而別過分依賴他人 否則難免落腳
3.對於陌生的好處 利益的誘惑 在某些情形要有抗拒的心態
4.保護自己的財產 不管智慧或是地位 別因花言巧語而放鬆戒心
5.人與人之間各取所需是正常的 但得衡量某些事是否真的妥當
6.情感是人類的特有素質 但別被情感連累 喪失的不只是辛苦建立的權位
7.即便是交誼不錯的友人 也有可能會為了職位把你拖下水
8.輕視他人會帶給自己更大的損傷 要時時刻刻精進自己
9.人再外 要注意自己的嘴吧(重點)
10.眼觀四面 了解各種傳言 過濾自己身邊親信 八面玲瓏 對他人有限度的友好 接受能回報的利益
這本書充斥著典故 範例 例子 為了突顯人為了自身可以毫不顧後果的推翻他人的誠信 成就
對於在人際關係中碰到困難的朋友們是很大的借鏡
可是我還是要再度強調 我相信我深交的朋友 信任永遠勝於利益 有時候不要把社會上的種種邪念與人性本惡的概念影射在單純的友情 有些東西的價值 仍然會抵過那些身外之物...

Lindy's 2008 Giants Preview

For 15 years, the face of the San Francisco Giants franchise wore a bored expression and a dismissive sneer from beneath a size 8 baseball cap. Now the team's marquee position player wears a look of perpetual intensity and a gash across his nose.
Barry Bonds is finally gone and he'll spend 2008 making court appearances and defending his legacy rather than patrolling left field at AT&T Park and tormenting National League pitchers.
After flailing around in search of a post-Bonds alternative, the Giants spent $60 million on former Phillies centerfielder Aaron Rowand, whose signature moment remains that encounter with the Citizens Bank Park wall two years ago. The Giants gave him a five-year deal and a mandate to set the same competitive tone in the San Francisco clubhouse that he brought to Philadelphia.
If only the surrounding talent were as good. In the National League West, the Diamondbacks and Rockies are loaded; the Dodgers derive encouragement from Joe Torre's arrival; and San Diego usually finds a way to get it done. The Giants, meanwhile, are badly in need of a road map.
The San Francisco organization hasn't produced an everyday position player through the draft since third baseman Bill Mueller arrived in the big leagues in 1996. Now management is hoping that someone from the group of Dan Ortmeier, Nate Schierholtz, Kevin Frandsen, Fred Lewis & Co. can emerge and break the spell.
But in true Giants form, this team isn't ready to commit to a youth movement. The Giants' first two offseason moves were re-signing shortstop Omar Vizquel, 40, and making a big bet on Rowand, a career .286 hitter known as much for his intangibles as his production.
Bonds spent 15 years in San Francisco alienating teammates and the media while setting records and winning MVP awards, but he always made life interesting. The Giants might miss him more than they realized.

Martz becomes key in Bay Area salvage job on QB Smith(節錄)

"When you look at him on tape, he's very talented," he said of Smith. "I remember him when he was coming out of college, and he was more impressive than he was on tape. He's very quick. He's smart. And the biggest attribute he has going for him is that he's so doggone accurate."
Those are descriptions I've heard before at the team's Santa Clara headquarters, only then it was someone describing Joe Montana, Steve Young or Jeff Garcia. Alex Smith never was confused with those three, and, unless Martz pulls a reprise of The Miracle Worker, he never will be.
It's not just that Smith has been slow to develop. He suffered a separated shoulder last season that had him sparring with his head coach over the severity of the injury, a public-relations nightmare that had outsiders questioning Smith's future with the 49ers.
Eventually he was put on injured reserve, but only after another disappointing season.
"Things were a little disjointed here last year," Martz said, "and then, of course, there was the shoulder injury. And the injury had a lot to do with (Smith's performance). But when you look at the year before when Norv (Turner) was here everything was going good."
Smith continues to recover from surgery to his right shoulder and, Martz said, should be able to throw by next month. What happens after that is up to Smith and Martz, who is convinced his quarterback will be ready by May.
"I think the 49ers can win with Smith," an NFC coach said, "because he has some talent. Do I think he'll be a great quarterback? No. But Mike Martz has done good jobs with guys a lot less talented than Alex Smith. He should be OK."
One problem: I don't know if OK cuts it in San Francisco. In fact, I'm pretty sure it doesn't. Montana was a lot more than OK. So was Young. And while Garcia didn't make it to a Super Bowl, he was a three-time Pro Bowl choice.
The 49ers didn't pick up the option on Smith's contract earlier this month because they think he will be OK. They picked it up because they think he can be a franchise quarterback and a cornerstone to a future playoff club.
"We have faith in him," said general manager Scot McCloughan.
They should. When they signed him to a six-year contract they threw in $24 million in guaranteed money, which meant somebody believed in him. Apparently, somebody still does.

NBA本季五大標題

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/dailydime?page=dime-080315-16
1. Blockbusters Come In Threes!
Wait a minute. Blockbusters almost never come in threes. We're actually lucky to get one a season. So that's why when Pau Gasol, Shaquille O'Neal and Jason Kidd were all traded within a span of 19 days in February -- and especially when the run-and-gunners from Phoenix decided to break up their one-of-a-kind team to gamble on Shaq's keeping up with them -- this became the season synonymous with blockbuster deals. It's even truer when you go back to the draft and throw in Boston's landscape-changing additions of Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen before the season.
今年最大消息就是這個了 除了季初Garnett,Allen轉隊 到季中Kidd,S.O'neal,Pau Gasol三人因交易換隊造成籃球界局勢改觀 強弱有很大的變動 一季很難得有這種大交易的現象 所以這應該是NBA今年最大新聞
2. The Wildest West Of All Time!
We were down to eight teams on a 50-win pace entering the weekend, with Denver still stuck at No. 9 in the conference standings on its humble 49-33 track. Of course, eight 50-win teams -- if the eight West teams that already have 40 wins don't cannibalize themselves in the next 15-plus games -- would establish a new league record, topping the 2000-01 season when the Spurs, Lakers, Kings, Mavericks, Jazz, Suns and Trail Blazers all hit the Big Five-Oh.
這倒是我沒曾想過的結果 西區竟然可以如此的主宰 如此的強勢 西區不只是前八名都有機會突破五十勝 比較東區戰績 西區第十一名的國王都比東區第六七名的球隊來得好 很難想像之後的NBA是不是持續西強東弱局勢
3. Boston Is Back!
It's easy to forget how huge this is/was because the Celtics' 29-3 start seems so long ago, given everything else going on here to occupy our thoughts. But Boston didn't merely become this season's first team to win 50 games earlier in the week. KG, Paul Pierce and Ray Ray are also on course to finish 65-17 and thus post 41 more victories than last season's 24-58 team. Forty-one, folks.
這從季初報到現在 已經沒有新意 但還是佩服他們的磨合 至少維持聯盟墬頂尖水準
4. Houston Can't Lose!
It will be easier to grade this one with some finality when we know how long the streak ultimately lasted and when we know for sure what kind of impact it had on the Rockets' playoff potency. If they somehow stretch this thing closer to the 30 range -- or if the confidence generated by this run has turned this into an elite team, with or without Yao Ming -- up this list Houston could go. Yet even if the streak is halted soon, Houston's achievement remains unreservedly momentous, matched by only two other teams -- both championship teams, as noted in Box 7 -- in league history. As Tracy McGrady rightly keeps saying, forget your focus on which teams the Rockets have or haven't played during the streak and remember that Michael Jordan's 72-10 Chicago Bulls couldn't win 21 in a row. Twenty-one consecutive wins is something special even if you're playing Miami for 21 straight nights.
我爸一直說他們二十一連勝 大多都是碰爛隊 所以才會贏的輕鬆 我不認同這想法 因為正如文中提到 沒有姚明還是一直連勝的火箭 成就的不只是連勝 更使全隊團結 另外 連公牛都達不到的目標 他們破了 實在令人驚奇
5. Kobe Vs. LeBron!
不需要解釋 這是爭當今最強兼最有希望拿MVP的兩人 湖人西區第一 LBJ平均30-8-8 兩人都被譽為喬丹接班人 就看他們接下來的表現了

Cry for me, Cry for you
英雄傳說 ～空之軌跡 3rd～
歌／小寺可南子
Cry for me 君の声が聞こえてる
叫んでる　僕の名前を

強がってた　夢は見ないと
失うのが怖いから
夢　捨てれば　それで何かを償える気がして

願いとか愛とか　見えないもの追い続ける
力が本当の強さ

Cry for me 声が聞こえる
立ち向かえ　自分をごまかさないで
Cry for you その声に応えるため
今叫ぶ　君の名前を

踏み込めない　自信のなさを
すり替えてた　優しさに
諦めれば　傷つくことも無いような気がして

痛みとか苦しみ　受け止めわかり合えた時
生まれる本当の強さ

Cry for me 声が聞こえる
逃げないで　全てを抱きしめるから
Cry for you その声に応えたくて
今叫ぶ　君の名前を

触れるぬくもり　流れる涙に癒されるのは
忘れることじゃないから

Cry for me 君の声が聞こえてる
叫んでる　僕の名前を
Cry for you その声に応えるため
今叫ぶ　君の名前を

I cry for you 僕の声が聞こえてる？
叫んでる　君の名前を
You cry for me 君の声　聞こえる
今叫んでる　僕の名前を

推薦 日本綜藝搞笑節目

節目名＜ダウンタウンのガキの使いやあらへんで！！＞

可能有去過光華或市台北車站地下街對這搞笑團體比較熟悉
另外 看過日本音樂節目的HeyX3也一定知道這兩個人
他們就是<ダウンタウン>的松本人志 浜田雅功
兩個人剛出道是以相聲組合的方式 在群眾獲得支持 慢慢的
相聲的一搭一唱 轉型成綜藝節目的方式每週播放
內容也除了相聲之外 多了許多單元 特別是整人型節目漸漸獲得多數日本人喜愛
在加入了＜ココリコ＞遠藤章造 田中直樹 和山崎邦正之後 節目更趨精彩
最近這幾年開始發表DVD將以前的特別節目收錄 和相聲的搞笑名言發售在日本也創造佳績
除了現在已經推出第十一部DVD外最近每年日本跨年前播出的三個小時的特別搞笑節目<絶対笑っていけない>也被收錄在裡面
日本眾多影星歌星和搞笑主持人都是以他們的節目作為標榜對其給予尊敬
我是在大學時才接觸到這團體他們在節目裡的行事作風可能會讓人覺得"怎會這樣"但就是因為如此才會覺得他好玩 好笑 雖然節目裡的人被整得很慘XD
當心情鬱悶 想要好好發洩一下 看到他們的節目都能開懷大笑
PS.推薦對於不想看他們相聲的人 可以去買1,3,5,8集來看看(第十集也推薦 但台灣似乎還沒發售)

才來一年的接球員被釋出?

The San Francisco 49ers waived receiver Darrell Jackson on Saturday after one unproductive season with the club.
Jackson joined the 49ers in a trade last April after eight seasons with the Seattle Seahawks. He made at least one catch in each of his 15 starts for San Francisco, but finished the season with just 46 catches for 497 yards and three touchdowns in the NFL's least productive offense.
"I always had a great deal of respect for Darrell," 49ers coach Mike Nolan said. "I appreciated his dedication and work ethic during his season with the 49ers. He always had a positive attitude every day he came to work. While we are going in a different direction, I know he can still produce and be an asset to an NFL team this year."
The 49ers signed longtime Rams receiver Isaac Bruce as a free agent last month, adding another veteran who spent his entire career with a division rival. San Francisco also is close to a deal with Bryant Johnson, the Arizona Cardinals' No. 3 receiver for the last five seasons, to play alongside Arnaz Battle and Ashley Lelie in what's been arguably the NFL's least impressive group of receivers for the last few seasons.
--NFL.COM
四九人這幾年接球員的替換率太高了 從05年的Brandon Lloyd 06的Antonio Bryant 到07的Darrel Jackson 都沒有發揮應有的外圍威脅 造成攻擊上的停滯跟疲弱 今年一口氣換了兩個 Bryant Johnson和老將Issac Bruce 再次試圖提振傳球攻擊上的缺失 似乎有待觀察...

最近Giants的消息

Inge to Giants?: The Giants are interested in trading for Brandon Inge, a sign that Joe Crede is not looking so good. He has a big contract, but the Giants need some help.--Foxsports
The difference in opinion over the value of Joe Crede is about as wide as the gap between the White Sox third baseman's 2006 Silver Slugger Award season and his .080 spring average. San Francisco, the most likely suitor for Crede, and the Sox have disparate evaluations that carry ramifications for both sides. A talent evaluator familiar with both teams said the Sox were miffed the Giants' offers for Crede included since-released pitcher Scott Williamson; pitcher Randy Messenger, who was optioned to Triple-A Fresno last week; and veteran outfielder Dave Roberts. The source said the Giants believe Sox general manager Ken Williams' asking price ? one of the Giants' top prospects and a serviceable young reliever ? was too steep for a 29-year-old infielder coming off season-ending back surgery. -- Chicago Tribune

最近49ers的消息

Free Agency
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/03/14/SP29VK408.DTL&feed=rss.49ers
The 49ers said goodbye Friday to defensive end Marques Douglas, but they are reportedly saying hello to former Arizona Cardinals receiver Bryant Johnson.Johnson, 27, made 210 catches for 2,675 yards and nine touchdowns in five years with the Cardinals, who drafted him in the first round (the 17th overall pick) in the 2003 draft out of Penn State.The 6-foot-3 receiver had 46 catches last year for 528 yards and two touchdowns. He has played third fiddle to Pro Bowlers Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald and was looking for a team where he could play a larger role.
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3271999
The San Franciso 49ers signed defensive end Justin Smith to a six-year, $45 million contract that included $20 million in guaranteesSmith had at least five sacks in each of his first six seasons with the Bengals before recording only two last season. He has led the Bengals defensive line in tackles in each of the past six seasons.Smith was the fourth overall pick in the 2001 draft out of Missouri. He has 43½ career sacks but managed only two last season. Smith has played in 16 games every season except his rookie campaign when he made 15 appearances.
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3271519
In a move that reunites him with former head coach Mike Martz, free-agent wide receiver Isaac Bruce, released by St. Louis this week after 14 seasons with the Rams, has signed a two-year contract with the San Francisco 49ers.The contract, ESPN.com confirmed, is worth $6 million.A four-time Pro Bowl performer, Bruce has 942 career receptions for 14,109 yards and 84 touchdowns. The former University of Memphis star has six seasons with 75 or more catches and eight seasons with 1,000 receiving yards.

Others: DeShaun Foster,2yr.contract Trent Dilfer,released Marcus Douglas Derek Smith free agency

最近Kings的消息

All season, Spencer Hawes has shown the ability to score, but his recent set of explosive dunks (and offensive tips) as well as his 12 blocked shots in the past four games suggests that he might be more of an above-the-rim player than we thought. Hawes turns 20 in April, and he has the look of a "late bloomer," meaning that his body and athleticism are probably still years away from peaking. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/index

Go figure. They lost to the Timberwolves at home, then beat the Lakers on the road. As Ron Artest said, "Wow, we just stepped up against the good team. It's unfortunate we can't step up against the bad teams." http://msn.foxsports.com/nba/powerRankings

It might have taken them a while, but the Kings seem to have figured out why they don't want a repeat of last season's disastrous finish: Their jobs are just so much more fun this way.Their 96-85 win over the Trail Blazers came with a sustained effort from nearly the whole lot and a classic Artest performance that led the Kings to an ending full of good cheer. There was leftover talk of their recent meeting of the minds, in which candid talk among coaches and players led to an understanding that a strong finish was a must and the inconsistency had to stop."We've still got an important season left, a lot of important games left," he said. "I'm over the agony of the possibility of not making the playoffs, so now I'm just going out there and playing hard."
http://www.sacbee.com/kings/story/785307.html

Sixteen teams make the playoffs, and, as of today, 10 of the teams with the best records are in the West. Not long ago, there were 11, but the Washington Wizards got on a bit of a roll, won five of eight games, and passed the Sacramento Kings.Debating whether Sacramento deserves to be in the playoffs compared to Washington is a little like arguing what tastes better -- liver or rattlesnake. I'm all for looking out for the little guy, but rewarding different degrees of lousy is not a cause I care to champion.Besides, is there anyone out there who really believes the Kings want to make the playoffs? They will have a better shot of winning the lottery and the No. 1 pick in the draft than even winning one playoff game.http://www.star-telegram.com/287/story/525594.html

Fantasy Baseball

As April arrives, the baseball season also nears by. And when the baseball season nears by, Fantasy Baseball lovers such as me start gathering information to become a Fantasy League winner. Though, as much as the prize money attracts me, I'd always play in free public leagues, which lowers the competitiveness but provides relaxation and fun. Also, there is a element of pride combined with the eager to earn respect within the league that pushes me to draft the right players to fit my team. In order to reach that goal, a little bit of cash still needs to be thrown in. Here I present a few sources of fantasy baseball information, including magazines which I buy in a yearly basis.

短文寫作之四

理性感性
他常跟我說:我討厭黃昏的夕景 彷彿生命的希望 莫入無邊的天際

我就向他訴:世界有定律 我們無法迴避 何不欣賞美景 懊惱反而費心?

他說:時間消逝甚急 我們卻拘泥表象的無意義 一日結束的訊息 不應更加警惕?

我說:人命既已確定 命運早已決定 人心何不徜徉大自然的獻禮 吸收美麗的回憶?

他說:我的心思縝密 理性勝於感性 回憶確實珍貴
然而何必 於時空轉移的際遇 發自內心犒賞時間流失的影?

我說:太陽賦予生命 我你受此恩濟 才有現在論議
微微獻上敬意 致上虔誠心靈 洗滌當日塵埃 感受悅目情境
事實確實憂鬱 惟若調適理性 感性美化觀景 夕陽應為美藝

他說:與其讚嘆俗世瞬息萬變的風采 不如掌握自我實現的未來
與其陷入美感蓄意創造的假象 不如珍視逐漸流逝的存在

我說:你的牽連掩飾了幾分鐘的晚霞 你的言詞表露了無謂的誇大
未來雖較現在崇高 然比喻夕陽為消耗 風景為阻撓
略顯您的個性高傲 甚至無理取鬧

他說:生長於人海 處世做人實在 四面八方脈動 遠較停滯划得來
我並非討厭七色雲彩 更非漠視太陽關懷
只對人生道出感慨 為何時日不能倒帶?

我說:人的存在繫於生死線的長短 和造物者思維的評斷
我們只有順其自然 豐富自己不容緩 體驗生命的片段
夕陽無限好，只是近黃昏 不是憎恨日夜的交換 悲嘆人生苦短
而是高唱美好風景不頻繁 珍惜當下的燦爛

此時天邊揮灑剩餘的光輝 星空璀璨的闇夜呈現妖媚~

短文寫作三

兔子
我小小的生活環境時而像鐵牢時而像棉襖
早晨的呼喚總是沒有外界的回報
野性使我不斷叫囂 限制於狹窄的地盤難免煎熬
日常生活拘泥無聊 孤單寂寞乏味枯燥
偶而他們或許知曉 困於牢房易於焦躁
可能為我上緊發條 忍受隱瞞欺騙譏笑
攜出家鄉心境消遙 投身自由身體跳躍
喜樂形於我顏表 過去憂鬱不重要 世界廣闊又嫚妙
然而心酸總比歡樂少 吾個性懦弱也膽小
新事物雖具有亮麗外表 背後卻有風險環繞
加上它們四處警告 我的活動變得綁手綁腳
最後只能尋找 黑灰地帶的懷抱 此時發覺家裏好 安全溫暖壓力消
矛盾是我的寫照 未來仍然如此耗
差異
個人對於事務處理有不同的面向
不論是邏輯思考推演 或是法理哲學的概念
相異的刻板印象造成評斷的區別
我們擁有不同的家庭導入差異的社會概念
心理更會延展出價值觀的一套見解
人人置於相同處境 應對方式不僅可能略有改變
步驟態度反應呈現 都得用單位作區辨
縱然如此 人的魅力在於得鑑別
若人類毫無分類 世界必然單純乏味不是滋味
生活環境血緣連線 古來影響人身甚廣
處世雖不完全相像 何不反觀其他面向?
欣賞造物巧手藝 人類文化多彩多藝

Mr. Children 旅立ちの唄

http://ygoodly.blog68.fc2.com/blog-entry-4030.html

『旅立ちの唄』　Mr.Children 怖がらないで。　　　　　
手当たり次第に灯り点けなくても いつか一人ぼっちの夜は明けていくよ
転んだ日は　はるか遠くに感じていた景色も 起き上がってよく見ると　なんか辿り着けそうじゃん
君の大好きだった歌　街に流れる それは偶然が僕にくれた　さりげない贈り物
Ah　旅立ちの唄　さぁどこへ行こう？　 またどこかで出会えるね　Ah　 とりあえず「さようなら」　
自分が誰か分からなくなるとき　君に語りかけるよ
でも　もし聞こえていたって　返事はいらないから

大切なものを失くしてまた手に入れて　 そんな繰り返しのようで　その度　新しくて
「もうこれ以上　涙流したり　 笑いあったり できない」 と言ってたって　やっぱり　人恋しくて
今が大好きだって躊躇などしないで言える そんな風に日々を　刻んでゆこう　 どんな場所にいても
Ah　はじまりを祝い　歌う最後の唄　 僕は今手を振るよ　Ah　悲しみにさようなら
疲れ果てて足が止まるとき　少しだけ振り返ってよ 手の届かない場所で 背中を押してるから

Ah　旅立ちの唄　さぁどこへ行こう？ またどこかで出会えるね　Ah　 とりあえず「さようなら」
自分が誰か忘れそうなとき　 ぼんやり想い出してよ　ほら僕の体中 笑顔の君がいるから
背中を押しているから　 笑顔の君がいるから

這是我目前最愛的日本歌曲 人們都說歌曲可以反映出一個人對現實社會的觀感和自身情緒的紓發 這首歌不但印證了這兩點 對我而言 它的歌詞更是表露了現時現地我自己的心理和處境 雖然意境可能和Mr. Children顯得有些不同 啟發的情感是最真實的收穫

推薦 幾本漫畫

整篇故事其實圍繞在仙石權兵衛秀久跟他青梅竹馬的女友阿蝶之間的愛情故事，但因為劇情不但縱橫整個日本戰國時代、名將的個性也栩栩如生，使這部漫畫成為歷史迷不得錯過的傑作。(缺點再於不只屬於限制級，前面畫風並不吸引人，台灣有出租或出售的店也不多)

悲觀、陰暗、無希望的漫畫。從旁觀者的立場看著日本逐漸沉默海底，各地碰到的慘劇跟人性的黑暗面。內容不但有結合科學的根據還有心理學的分析，其真實性也會讓人毛骨悚然。

世界上有鴨子白鷺黑鷺 鴨子的定義是被詐欺師所欺騙的老百姓 白鷺是世間無所不在的詐欺師 而黑鷺(也就是主角)就是打擊這些詐欺師的詐欺師 不為正義 只為報仇 不問金錢 只求勝利 世界對他而言是沒有情感的存在 只有將白鷺消滅他才有安息的一天。

這本是我的床前讀物 因為不需要大腦思考 只需要一直傻笑 白爛 腦殘 無俚頭 沒有比這個更適合作為排除憂鬱的工具。 (題外話:這也是我學習日文的道具= =")

涙　こぼしても　汗にまみれた笑顔の中じゃ
誰も気付いてはくれない
だから　あなたの涙を僕は知らない

絶やす事無く　僕の心に　灯されていた
優しい明かりは　あなたがくれた　理由なき愛のあかし

柔らかな日だまりが包む　背中に　ポツリ　話しかけながら
いつかこんな日が来る事も
きっと　きっと　きっと　わかってたはずなのに

消えそうに　咲きそうな　蕾が　今年も僕を待ってる
掌じゃ　掴めない　風に踊る花びら
立ち止まる肩にヒラリ
上手に乗せて　笑って見せた　あなたを思い出す　一人

ビルの谷間に　埋もれた夢を　いつか芽吹いて
花を咲かすだろう　信じた夢は　咲く場所を選ばない

僕等この街に落とされた影法師　みんな　光を探して
重なり合う時の流れも
きっと　きっと　きっと　追い越せる日が来るさ

風のない　線路道　五月の美空は　青く寂しく
動かない　ちぎれ雲　いつまでも浮かべてた
どこにも　もう戻れない
僕のようだと　ささやく風に　キラリ舞い落ちてく　涙

散り際に　もう一度　開く花びらは　あなたのように
聴こえない　頑張れを　握った両手に　何度もくれた

消えそうに　咲きそうな　蕾が　今年も僕を待ってる
今もまだ　掴めない　あなたと描いた夢
立ち止まる　僕のそばで
優しく開く　笑顔のような　蕾を探してる　空に

Sacramento Kings

Recent News:"This is the time when things turned sour last year," noted Theus, referring to the club's identical 27-32 record under Eric Musselman. "I'm well aware of that. I think it's fair to say that we've gained back a lot of the respect by competing and playing hard every night. That's worth fighting for."
It's true. It's not as miserable a season. In spite of the debilitating early injuries, Theus' inexperience and the occasional disruptions and chronic trade conversations involving Artest, these Kings are a far more entertaining bunch. Even their family feuds are fun, partly because their rookie coach, as a former actor, displays a healthy appreciation for arts and tradition: While awaiting the lottery and rebuilding, the idea is to create a diversion, preferably something suggesting a brighter future.
Yet with 23 games remaining, the mood has darkened. The spats seem nastier. The effort wavers, though somewhat understandably. The calendar is the fiercest opponent, particularly for veterans who do the math and can't count on a postseason.(http://www.sacbee.com/100/story/758034.html)

英雄傳說FC 星の在り処

A short introduction of Falcom's next serial <英雄伝説ー空の軌跡SC> Not only does it present us with partial images of the main characters and their homeland, it also draws out(in Japanese) the layout and magnitude of the whole scenario. The heartwarming music then attracts RPG loyalists to fall for the whole definition of the game. And what is more inspiring than "True Love"?

San Francisco Giants 2008

A messed up 2007 which was surrounded by the media because of several reasons have calmed down. Not that Barry Bonds' historical home run record could be easily forgotten, but in most part, 2007 was a year worth leaving behind. Problems such as Zito's huge and unprofitable signing, Bonds' legal allegations and the team finishing dead last in the division don't seem like memorable incidents. So this year, after finally letting Barry move(as much as I adore him) , protecting the young pitching staff and bringing in a new face(Rowand), the Giants look like their on the brink of rebuilding the whole organization. Although putting in young players could lead to growing pains, and leftovers such as Aurillia, Roberts, Vizquel, Molina and Winn still make the Giants an old team. At least they showed that they're willing to end the era of Bonds. And that's the determination which the new team should embrace.
San Francisco Giants Projected Lineup
SP Starting Five:
1. Barry Zito: A more relaxed year could pay dividends
2. Matt Cain: One more step before becoming the staff ace
3. Tim Lincecum: The young flame-thrower must avoid injuries
4. Noah Lowry: Surgery always sounds bad
5. Kevin Correia: Hope he can repeat last years' efferts
RP Long Relief, Setup, Closer:
1. Johnathan Sanchez: The odd man out of the rotation, right back in when someone gets hurt
2. Brad Hennessey: Last year seemed steady but not overpowering
3. Brian Wilson: The Closer of the future gets his turn
IF
1B Dan Ortmeier: First extended role would show what he's made of
2B Ray Durham: A rebound seems desperate
3B Kevin Frandson: New role, at least it's extended
C Bengie Molina: Hope for a repeat of last year's glamorous offense
SS Omar Vizquel: Defensive wizard worthy of the Hall
OF
LF Randy Winn: Steady, but can he keep it that way?
CF Aaron Rowand: All out play shoes energy, but power may fall
RF Nate Sheirholtz: Rookies' first shot at a regular spot
Bench OF Dave Roberts, Fred Lewis, Rajai Davis IF Rich Aurillia, Eugenio Velez C Eliezer Alfonzo

論選戰

空泛的說詞吸引無限的遐想，長篇大論獲得他人的期望。人民的生活環繞在徬徨和迷惘，冀求他人的帶領和導航。然而人性虛偽自私一如往常，有人藉此培養專長，口中盡訴道義倫常，謀求自身權位高漲。處身選舉本應眼明亮，但為政客情緒揚。理性存在人卻盲，智商正常行為狂。意識形態勝城邦，手足因此常鬧僵。
誰能賜我正氣光，佇立人群高崗上，照射浮世陰、暗、茫，促人省思山河廣，拘泥小節自身傷，國家政治本異常。浩浩流水奔入江，晝夜交替如一向。時間至於他人掌，何時自立而自強？俗事煩身以繁忙，任人擺佈更無望！故我籲人多思量，重視未來發展邁向，匹夫有責於國家亡，一時衝動惹惆悵。人民是主非妄想，別陷無知後代償。看似未來他們扛，待執掌，永不安寧無刻得以安詳…

コブクロ ここにしか咲かない花 只在此處綻放的花

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYOQt9Tk728
ここにしか咲かない花
何も無い場所だけれど ここにしか咲かない花がある
心にくくりつけた荷物を 静かに降ろせる場所
空の色映し出した 瑠璃色の海 遥かから聞こえる
あなたの笑い声は よく聴けば 波の音でした
寂しさ隠せずにいるなら 一人になればいい
囁くほどの声で呼んでいるのは いつも 同じ名前
あの優しかった場所は今でも 変らずに 僕を待ってくれていますか?
最後まで笑顔で 何度も振り返り 遠ざかる姿に 唇 噛み締めた
今はこみ上げる 寂寞の思いに 潤んだ世界を 拭ってくれる
指先を 待っている
影が教えてくれるのは そこにある悲しみだけじゃない
うつむく顔を上げて振り返れば そこにある光に気付くだろう
同じ数の出会いと別れ でも割り切れなくて
余るほどの想い出をいつまでも 胸に咲かせながら
雨上がりの道は泥濘るむけれど 今ここに 生きている証を刻むよ
どうかこの涙を しおれかけの花に 喜びの彼方でもう一度咲けるように
願いは海風に 吹かれて大空へ やがて小さな 虹をわたるよ
いつの日か その足で
ここにしか咲かない花 ここにしか吹かない風
ここでしか聴けない歌 ここでしか見えないもの
ここにしか咲かない花 ここにしか吹かない風
あの優しかった場所は今でも 変らずに 僕を待ってくれていますか?
ふいに込み上げる 寂寞の想いに 潤んだ世界を拭ってくれる
雨上がりの道は泥濘(ぬか)るむけれど 今ここに 生きている証を刻むよ
いつかこの涙も 寂寞の想いも 忘れ去られそうな時代の傷跡も
燦然と輝く あけもどろの中に 風が運んで 星にかわる
そんな日を 待っている

短文寫作(2)

矛盾
世間總是充滿著矛盾。痛苦的經歷將會是美好的回憶，無盡的歡愉換來沉重的悔意。刻苦的生活蛻變為成功的契機，貪得便宜誘使他人猜忌。適得其反的切身體驗，因果反常的諸類事件，在講求原則的社會上，似乎如呼吸般稀鬆平常。
人們生活環境中，培育教養守正宗。然而反例與人共，矛盾長存命相融。富貴人生羨人目，家庭破碎無人妬。奮發圖強勤讀書，處事人際漸退步。口若懸河又自負，學識經歷聊勝無。亮麗外表照四路，掩蓋驕縱且易怒。天生特性授與汝，改變習性非易務，然而矛盾生長處，便為造物之所賦。
總之原則有例外，宇宙定律不常在，適應艱辛、時難耐，卻能窺視人生百態，吸取借鏡大步向前邁。
靈魂
我的它是自由的存在，彷彿徘徊在蔚藍的空海。徜徉在耀眼的星空，漫遊翠綠樹林中。現實生活的俗事勞碌，牽動不了它的喜怒。它的世界佈滿雲霧，虛幻飄邈使人恍惚。然而，站在未來的十字路，它的腳步、長久停駐。畏懼接踵的磨鍊，化成徬徨的意念。可能失敗的風險，使其更加避嫌。
總有一天，它得面對，時代轉變，人性奸險。
靈魂掌握動、智、觀，卻不實用反慵懶。人生包含多辛酸，逃避實較砥礪難。因此，更應自愛而自重，無謂怠惰誠無用。魂魄與我本相融，不該嬌寵與放縱，因應社會的脈動，做人處事性由衷。我與它能共生榮，互為支柱喜相逢，探索未知樂無窮！

束縛
我呼喚自由但自由離我而去。在無止盡的虛偽掩蓋的真實理我不斷的吶喊。可能生命中有些片段就是得認本份，可能人生有些過程就是得受限制。我呼喚自由但自由離我而去。空轉的日子、乏味的作息、繁重的規章。百餘人的腳步深深踏出我心中的哀嘆，百餘人的應答聲吼出我情緒的不滿。我喚醒自由了嗎？當我積極克服心智上的恐懼時只有怒罵跟冷嘲陪伴；當我常是掙脫現實的阻礙只有否定兼熱諷相隨。我喚醒自由了嗎？漸漸枯竭的智慧化成毫無理論的服從，長久存在的創意束縛於鐵壁般的教條。當自由的藍天褪色為灰暗的紀律，我心裡猶存寄望；當人本生存的目的僅在打轉的空蕩，我心裡仍未遺忘…我走在虛幻的街道上品味人生，假象繚亂、情緒波動、認真無謂、怠惰誘惑，通往真理的門口長滿藤蔓。撞不開！意念強烈的反效果增長心靈負擔。撞不開！邁向未來的列車延誤在飄移的十字路口。常人說，人是在環境中砥礪出韌性和毅力而培育生活素養、處事態度，但在這表象勝於實在的堡壘裡，雙手繫緊的一絲自由，才是繼續默默打轉的唯一動力。

出清漫畫

1. 海賊王出清...目前我擁有的集數是1~42(1~27集為大然出版社之海賊王 28~42為東立出版社之航海王) 保存程度算不錯吧 因為也沒多少時間去翻閱... 希望有意者向我回應一下 單價方面我可能以一本五十元計算吧 雖然感覺算貴 但我不太希望這套是以單買的情況賣出 所以如果有人想要買整套的話可能就以一千七的套價全部出賣 2.火影忍者出清...1~29集 一樣照上面的方法出售吧 雖然這些都是令我懷念的漫畫 且陪伴我度過了年輕的歲月 但現在確實沒時間去繼續蒐集了 如果有意者全套可以以一千二的價格賣出...

電影欣賞 <刺殺據點>

影評:(節錄自http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/vantage_point/#synopsis) Vantage Point, eight strangers with eight different points of view try to unlock the one truth behind an assassination attempt on the president of the United States. Thomas Barnes (Dennis Quaid) and Kent Taylor (Mathew Fox) are two Secret Service agents assigned to protect President Ashton (William Hurt) at a landmark summit on the global war on terror. When President Ashton is shot moments after his arrival in Spain, chaos ensues and disparate lives collide in the hunt for the assassin. In the crowd is Howard Lewis (Forest Whitaker), an American tourist who thinks he captured the shooter on his camcorder while videotaping the event for his kids back home. Also there, relaying the historic event to millions of TV viewers across the globe, is American TV news producer Rex Brooks (Sigourney Weaver). As they and others reveal their stories, the pieces of the puzzle will fall into place and it will become apparent that shocking motivations lurk just beneath the surface.

日語檢定一級

これは悲しいな事件です。昨日は僕一週一度の帰宅の日、心の中で本当に嬉しくて、喜んで迎えた。バスの上に、軍人同僚と話していたのはこの二日間で何をする、何処へ遊ぶ、気持ち良いことだけを考えていた。でも、自分の書斎に戻った瞬間、すぐに不安な感じが溢れてた。棚の上に怪しい封筒が置いた。そして封筒の上に奇怪な文字があった。”こんなものは僕の？”と思いながら、文字を読むとすぐにわかった。これは日本語検定の成績だ！　この試験の結果は僕とは本当に重要な証明でした。もし不合格なら、昨年の準備は全部無駄になった。僕はそう思いながら手を出した、封筒を開いた、中の文書を見た。悪夢！　その感じは今日までも忘れられない、今週の休暇は絶対今年の最低！(合格点１０分より低い)

The San Francisco 49ers

The San Francisco 49ers is a team that I rooted for since the day I moved from New Orleans to San Mateo. At that time not only was the 49ers one of the greatest teams that ever played the game, they had three consecutive NFL Championships to show for it. Joe Montana, Ronnie Lott, Jerrie Rice and others formed a formidable cast under the guidance of the legendary coach Bill Walsh. But at that time, I was just a first-grader who didn't even know the meaning of football. So when I started to watch and absorb the ecxitments of American Football, the team had changed into another version, a version led by the speedy Steve Young. This team, though not as dominant as the former, had a much more entertaining element than ever before. Steve Young, Ricky Watters led the running game into further heights, and Jerry Rice remained his old self. On defense, Deon Sanders dazzled everyone with his funky style and once rookie Bryant Young emerged as a inner force. Though the best days of the 49ers might have passed when Joe Montana injured his shoulder in the Super Bowl, the new 49ers were the team that caught my heart. But these past four years, after the departure of Young, Garcia, Rice, Owens and even B.Young, the 49ers only show glimpes of the glory they once had. With losing seasons becoming a tradition, I really hope that the Niners can turn it around. There is hope! I have faith in QB Smith, RB Gore, TE Davis, WR Jackson, CB Clements, MLB Willis, DB Lewis and the comeback of OLB Lawson. 2008 will be the first time in five years the 49ers make it to the playoffs, and they will also retake the throne of the NFC West. You'll See.

空の軌跡FC SC TC(目前台版只出到SC)

Falcom公司開發的RPG遊戲一直都受到不只日本人 還有我們這些無所事事的台灣學子們的欽愛 其中令我畢生難忘的作品應屬目前最新的"英雄傳說六---空之軌跡"系列 從受到FC音樂的感動而起始 融入エステルとヨシュア的感情發展 各個角色的不同性格 劇情變幻莫測的發展 連結到SC與TC的伏筆 追逐夢想與冒險的故事過程及宛如現實般的國度 都讓我深深的留下烙印 建議有閑時間的朋友們不妨抽空體會和我相同的感受... Falcom另外還有推出"永遠的伊蘇"系列 雖然劇情張力沒有英雄傳說系列的厚實 但每一代每一代都增添新的角色圍繞著多情的主角 算是較為有趣的話題XD

3/1

今天的大收穫就是以上這張嚕 也是放假這兩天唯一的收穫 二次訓的休假果然準時 在家中過著閒適的生活也不賴 但是考慮到以後下部隊的不安 軍旅生涯的乏味 一級檢定的落榜 仍然抹滅不了一絲的焦慮 目前體會的真諦 "珍惜當下" 現在我有的只剩下年齡這項成本了 再荒廢下去不知道人生的遠景會否隨之飄移消散 這個部落格能否持續下去 可能也得仰賴我這懶散的人 有沒有在軍人的這段期間 培養出一些毅力和規律...
