拳王泰森
我想我是个怀旧的人。对于过去已渐退光泽的玩具总舍不得丢弃。每每捧在手心里时似乎总能感到一股暖暖的回忆,一种隐隐的愉悦。也许正因为此,对于 Aerosmith,Guns N’ Roses 抑或是 Nirvana,除了喜爱还有一种珍惜,对于往日的狂热、美好的珍惜。因此当今日看见老泰森那张青春不再的脸在电视机上宣布他将重返拳坛时,心里似乎被轻轻的揪了一下,忽然有种酸酸的感觉。
任谁也不能逃脱时间的枷锁,昔日的老虎泰森亦不例外。如今的他,眼角已被时间的利刃刻上深深的痕迹,眼神中虽然还藏有些微的锐利,但更多的是一种沧桑的忧虑。31岁的泰森就像45岁的乔丹,唯一不同的是,乔丹为了兴趣而重返篮坛,而泰森却是为了还债而重返拳坛。姑且不论对于泰森而言这是否是唯一的选择,但是不论如何,这样的原因不能不让人感到些许的凄凉。可是更可悲的是这一新闻却沦为某些不良媒体议论、取笑的话题,在节目中反复的调侃。一种扭曲了的建立在别人的不幸上的欢笑就这样通过电波不停传送着。这难道就是所谓的现实幽默?把别人的痛苦变成茶余饭后议论的主题大肆传播?从什么时候开始我们变得如此的尖酸刻薄,对于勇于承担责任的人我们不再予以认可,反而学会在别人尚未愈合的伤口上撒盐取乐;对于昔日曾经给我们带来欢乐和激情的偶像有多少人满怀着卑鄙的心理悄悄期望着看到他们从云端摔落。如今的我们是否已经忘却了昨日坐在擂台边、坐在电视机旁高声呐喊激情四溢的心情;抑或是认为过往的一切都已不再有价值,没有保留的意义?这个纸醉金迷缤纷糜烂的世界里,如此轻易的就能让人的灵魂迷失。若总以物质衡量周围的一切,会否有一天我们也想把自己的良心、自尊放上天平称出斤两,用黄金来交换其价值?其实生活中有太多的东西让人难以忘怀,更不能以一切的物质衡量其价值。若是抛弃了过去我们也将失去了前进的原因;抛弃了宽容我们也将失去了生存的能力。今日的泰森也许已经没有了往日的锐利,而我也从来就不是一位拳击迷,但是冲着他能从错误的阴影中站起来的那份勇气,我衷心的祝福他一路成功地走下去!

Him
He is the one that has blonde mid-length hair
He is the one that has clear honey crystal eyes
He is the one that endowed with all the best blessed
But he is also the one that always feels not enough
He is the one that likes all the pretty stuff
He is the one that dreams about all beauties in the world
He is the one that always seeking his gorgeous thoughts
Yet he is the one that watch the outside through his dark glass
He is the one that has a beautiful voice
He is the one that writes all fabulous songs
He is the one that can make you throw away your soul
Yet he is the one that likes to sing alone
He is the one that likes all living wonders
He is the one that dreams to become one of the legends
He is the one that named to be with great talents
But he is also the one that always like to shoot his guns
He is the one that would rather choose to be hated than loved
He is the one that would rather live under ground than the overwhelmed stage
He is the one that would put a bullet in his head rather than accept your kiss
He is the one that would rather destroy than create
It’s all dark out
Feeling low now
Stupid thoughts slowly emerged
So annoying
So contagious
He needs to be saved
He needs to be healed
He needs to be released
He needs a brand new soul
He does what he likes the best
