Frakkin' Broken [31JUL08, Day 226]

Some peace for those broken soul. "May you find some comfort here," sings Sarah McLachlan.

Frakkin' Bamboo [31JUL08, Day 226]

It's time to get one of these "Bamboos." Digital piano is the next. It's always good to learn some new weapons. "Why now", one may ask. Well, let's just say I am terribly greedy and I can't stand the hunger this time. It occurs to me that there are so many pieces to pick up: guitar, bass, and drawing, definitely.

Frakkin' Wall [30JUL08, Day 225]

"Try harder!" -I am Sam

This is for those who think the reality is a wall made of frustration one can never somehow get over. I say, if one needs a ladder, find it. If the wall is too high that takes a pair of wings to fly by, I say, kidnap an angel and clip of his wings.

You've heard the story. Now make it a reality. Make it happen, no matter how hard.

Frakkin' Cool [30JUL08, Day 225]

If I'm going to suffer a daughter 10 years from now, this is how I want it.

Her tabbing, she's switching from left to right foot back and forth. That means she dares to sing her song even with music skills of a very beginning level. She's holding a guitar sizing almost half of her body and still, she can play some tricks. I say she deserves the name of "the brave." The innocent, the pure, the brave that speaks.

Not just a good soul trapped in a beautiful body, but a good soul that pursues the divine beauty of the universe. Pretty much like someone I just knew lately, wouldn't you say so, Cindy?

Frakkin' Powerful [25JUL08, Day 220]

"This life was so close to never happening", 25th Hour.

Maybe I've screwed up so much lately. Maybe my failure and my mistakes come clear these days. Maybe I've just begun to see the true nature of mine. Significantly flawed. Instead of an official trailer of the movie 25th Hour, I chose to share the film's most powerful moment (or sequence, to be precise.) Watch it. Feel it, and start salvaging your life.

也許最近我搞砸太多事情。也許我的失敗和錯誤，經過這些時日變得分明。也許我才正要開始認識那真正的我。一個滿是瑕疵的人。與其貼上官方的預告短片，不如分享25th Hour最震撼的片段。仔細看。用心看。開始打撈你的生命。

軍方禁架個人部落格　箝制言論自由
2008-07-09 今日晚報 【中時電子報戴志揚／特稿】


為了防止國軍官兵洩漏國防機密，國防部竟然通令各級部隊及單位，若是發現國軍官兵私自架設部落格，經查發現後一律關禁閉處分。官兵人人自危，據了解，遭受到如此「文字獄」的士兵人數眾多。但國防部此舉，顯然已有箝制言論自由之嫌。

另外，現在新兵入伍時，國防部除了基本身家調查外，還一併調查新兵或是志願役軍士官是否本身有認識的人，或同學、親屬在媒體任職，並要求提供電話，最後提供給國防部軍事安全總隊，國防部此舉動機相當可議，大開民主倒車。

架設部落格已經成為時下民眾的一股流行風潮，透過部落格，不但可展現自己的個人風格，更可以在網頁世界中，不受限制及拘束，盡情的揮灑自己的生活點滴，心情感受，不啻為抒發壓力的管道。

除了一般民眾熱中架設部落格，不少國軍軍士官兵也個人部落格中貼上一些軍中的生活照片。不過，有時官兵玩得太過火，例如互相「阿魯巴」、丟水池、慶生會後惡作劇的照片，往往就被媒體拿來大作文章。

儘管如此，軍官部落格也有令人驚豔的內容。例如一名長相甜美，身材姣好的陳姓空軍軍官，張貼許多展現自己美好身材的生活照片，甚至自拍歌唱影片大秀歌藝，網友發現後，還造成瀏覽大塞車，並引起媒體大幅報導，紅極一時。

也因為媒體大幅報導，軍方認為「家醜外揚」，因此下令禁架部落格，甚至祭出關禁閉處分。軍方官員表示，確實是有部分官兵遭到關禁閉處分，但是這些受到處分的官士兵，都是因為被查出部落格內貼有部隊內部或是武器照片，甚至發表不當言論，違反相關規定才遭懲處。

至於禁止的理由是否因為擔心遭到爆料，軍方官員私下表示，現在通訊管道那麼方便，要阻止官兵對媒體爆料實在是很難，最主要的還是擔心許多官兵涉世未深，在不熟悉法令下，萬一張貼不該張貼的文章或照片，很容易誤觸法網造成遺憾，此舉純粹是「保護」官兵。

雖然軍方振振有辭，但在社會風氣平等開放的今天，國防部竟然還動不動就以「關禁閉」的手段，企圖壓制官兵言論自由，儼然形成另一種白色恐怖，做法實不足取。
