分類: 我自己的東西

There are more guns in this country than people.  With so many crazy mass shootings, why does no one fight back?  Where are people who have guns that can protect themselves and others?

“Drug free zone” or “gun free zone”?

Those are for good people.  When someone wants to do killing, these are inviting signs.  Violence against violence is never a solution.

I am growing sideways.  I can’t even see my toes when I look down. All I see now is my big belly.

I do not think my exercise works. I am still growing sideways.

Ten years ago, $10 can buy a lunch at McDonald’s for a family of three (couple plus one kid).

Five years ago, $15 buy a lunch at McDonald’s for a family of four (couple plus two kids).

Yesterday, I would need $25 to buy a lunch at McDonald’s for a family of five (couple plus three kids).

However, during the past ten years, my income only increases about 30%.

The most important factor of a purchasing power is not based off inflation but your own kids.  The purchasing power goes down dramatically as the kids grow up.  I can’t image what my life will be if they choose to go to college.

在健身房的鏡子裡, 站著一位禿頂的男子。我差不多認識這時候運動的人，可是我不記得見過這背影，那個人是誰？

今天在健身房做深蹲時，從反射的背面鏡子裡看到一位背對著我的禿頭男子。

｢那個傢伙是誰？」我腦袋裡想了想，還有誰這時候在健身房運動的？我差不多知道每一位這時間來運動的人，我不記得有這麼一位禿頭男子。

仔細的再看一看那個人到底是誰？整個思緒突然停了下來，那傢伙竟然還是和我穿一模一樣的衣服。

驚嚇之於，好像看到鬼一樣之後。我才發現，那傢伙根本就是我自己的背影。照鏡子時，我從來看不到自己的後面，這也難怪我無法察覺那是我自己的背影，還把自己嚇得好像看到鬼的樣子。

我知道我有前額禿，不過我從來不知道我的後腦杓也禿成一塊，這是別人從後面看我的樣子嗎？再仔細的看了下自己的背影，心裡感慨著，這背影活脫脫的就像是一位有地中海禿頭的中年胖子。

回到家和老婆談到此事，她大笑著，｢你現在才知道你後面也禿了。」

｢我從來看不到後面的。」我抗議著。我想很少人會照背影，大多都是正面照。花了不少時間，找了找以前的照片。三年前後腦杓並沒有禿頭的痕跡，想不到這三年來就禿成這樣了。

自己像探險一樣，拿著照相機的錄影功能，把頭前後左右的掃瞄一次。在電腦前第一次看到自己的『立體』頭像。照著網路上的禿頭對照表，我一直以為我是介於第二期和第三期禿頭間，想不到現在已經邁向第四期了。

國中和高中時，同學們喜歡在背後，開著那些禿頭男老師的玩笑，尤其是那些地中海型的禿頭老師，我從來不覺得這玩笑有什麼有趣的。沒有禿頭的老師看來看去就只有頭髮，有些老師還有不少的頭皮屑或是刺鼻的髮膠味，一點也不有趣。禿頭老師就不一樣了，當站在老師後面，近距離的看老師的禿頭。大太陽下，禿頭的部份是光滑平整的，周圍是細細的毛髮，再外圍是平常的頭髮，就像是森林中，一個平靜的小湖泊，在太陽的照射下閃閃發亮。有一點我就從來都不懂的，為什麼禿頭的表面是如此的平滑，彷彿可以當鏡子用，那些掉髮後的毛細孔跑哪兒去了？

禿頭對我來說從來不是問題，因為我並不喜歡頭髮，每星期都會用理髮機把自己推成光頭，這樣不用煩惱頭髮或頭皮屑的問題，而且運動流汗和洗澡都方便許多。一直以為就只有前額禿的我，想不到不知不覺中也有地中海禿頭了，現在就期待到最嚴重的第七期，這樣連剪頭髮的時間都可以省下來，直接用刮鬍刀整理腦袋就行了。

Even thought, it has been almost 11 months, I feel that I only put up Christmas decoration two or three months ago.  I would say time flies fast as the kids get older.

When there was no kids, every day was my own time or just with my love one.

Right now, time is around the kids, sports and music practices, birthdays, study etc.  There is no need to remember what day it is.  All I need is to remember what day of the week is.  Therefore, time is counted by week.  Yes, there is 52 weeks a year but I feel that there is 52 days a year.

It is amazed how fast time flies.
