Jumps and falls__ by S.L. Kong

I watch at the park a girl of five or four
Hands outstretched she jumps repeatedly to catch a hanging ball
The autumn morning sun is shining ever so soft
It warms and encourages the girl to jump more and more
Sitting nearby her mother is concerned her daughter may fall
She calls her to stop the jumps once for all
Nearby an old man mutters as the mother tells the girl her fun was ample
‘Tis not the ball but the reaching the man continues with his mumbles

《崢嶸歲月》–【賭城奮鬥記之二: 工會, 工種】__陳柏齡

工會

在賭城工作,無論賭場大小,都需要被踢入會,入工會。 Union due 每月廿三元。

工會總部在downtown。兩層高的建築物好像是政府部門。找工的地方就是在這地方的二樓,那裡有大堂尃作job dispatch 用。

簡陋的的地方有如大陸的飯堂,擺了幾張長板凳和桌子, 天花板掛有吊扇, 燈光半明半亮,墻上貼了些宣傳文告,宣傳工會是工友的靠山,福利好,近視人有眼鏡配。文告沒有說,「沒有工會,就沒有工作.」。到這裡來的求職者就如駕駛需要交車牌費,真也好,假也好,立刻交錢。物有所值啊!

Rob o’Call ®

(Through Rose-Coloured Glasses)

If you are a Schoolyard Bully,

Who ya gonna call?

ROB O’CALL

If you are a Facebook, Twitter Bully

Who ya gonna call?

ROB O’CALL

If you are Rob Ford,

Who ya gonna call?

ROB O’CALL

 

Here is an App for you, to show your teeth, and your muscle, and to let your unfortunate, unfortunate opponents know, you mean business. DO NOT ever stand in your way again.

The creator of this App, i.e. Mayor Ford, has raised the Art of Bullying to a new height. And he promised, there are more to come.

Using this App is as easy as 1-2-3.

  1. Pick your victim
  2. Choose your message (We have a whole list to choose from, from the subtly threatening to the explicit %$#&!?@*)
  3. Send

But there are a few Pre-requisites.

You have to have friends in high places, the higher the better.

You have to have friends in low places, for example, BFF you won’t throw under the bus, and those who can retrieve your lost items.

Take a beer or two (or even something stronger) before using the App, to build confidence and atmosphere.

Use your own money, I repeat, your own dough only, that won’t cause the taxpayers a cent (and of course, unless it is that Subway).

Nowadays it is difficult to be a bully. Look at the 2 Florida girls who got charged after their bullied victim jumped to her death.

Using this App, Mayor Ford has bullied and blasted a path through City Hall. Councillor Paul Ainslie threatened to complain to the city’s integrity commissioner and to a federal regulator, but the most he can get is an apology. Big deal.

 

So when your bullying is in trouble,

Who ya gonna call?

陳存仁醫師 (1908-1990)撰    大千 (1899-1983)書                  

虞文彬醫師 談話, 陳志民記Book2

長壽之道。先要健康。不吸烟。不飲酒。節飲食。慎寒暑。少色慾。多運動。常寬懷。不怒氣。遇事能忍。早眠及早起。此乃老人延壽之方。忍是幸福之泉源。能忍不易患心臟病及血壓。忍并不是懦怯。而是勇敢的行為。心慈仁愛曰仁。仁者多福。仁者長壽。喜怒不縈於胸襟。煩惱不擾於方寸。更可免生胆石。縱遇不治症。自有回天之功。毋慮毋憂。即是長生聖藥。常開笑口。便是卻病延年。養生衹此真締。無他奧妙。==============================================================

治国方法之戰聯想__陳柏齡

老師,請忍耐。我想講兩句。

大家看清楚。这次是主义之戰,是治国方法之戰,是绝对资本自由市场与欧洲式社会主义之戰。好精彩,好高層次。

朋友對這事情的看法有大差距。有悲观的,這些人看事情永远黑濛濛。花開心不開,花落心更傷。有些人樂觀,他們永遠是条条大路通羅馬,花開花落都一樣春光明媚,政府關門等於開門,vice versa。

學生是 libra, 兩個天秤都算是均衡。現在發表如下謬論:

你看看人家的制度幾堅固。如果在中國,嗌到咁,早已經刁民出押,乜幫物幫,乜軍幫e便,物軍幫果便了。所以我說,做人要公道一點。批評槍民國批評刁民國都要有個譜。不能一邊倒。

我一早講過刁民國二奶對槍民國的了解,多過槍民國班red neck 對刁民國的了解。因為我曾經深入不毛,與red neck 交朋友,也曾經祈福蹲點,訪問過從湘西土匪竇出來的二奶。

睇嘢用一雙眼。不能 one eye jack。

幫助刁民國班憤青做謠。話釣魚島開戰,政治局食人奶,諸如此颣。系冇用的。我打理你系讀幾多書的秀才。

到了今天的年代。還死抱著 ”共匪”,”蒋匪“ 。 我謙虛地講:十分老土。
至於「民主自由」,那是另外一個題目。我更加謙虛地講:大陸有自由冇民主。

君不見班刁民可以任意發揮天才搵銀法,雄風人可以四圍發洩,造謠人可以亂講說話,神棍可以亂玩魔術,學術界可以語不驚人,芙蓉姐姐個鄕下婆的雕象可以摆在上海街頭,例子不勝枚舉。

那兒的自由排山倒海,令我這個槍民國純品人受不了。

關於「民主」,因為我有漢人奴才基因,對我影響不大。我是永遠跟黨走的。打理佢乜黨。最重要是一棍落,政府不關門。
