沿著嘉南大圳

借U2的歌來自我消遣一番。
Stuck In a Moment You Can't Get Out Of

附帶想起，已經很久沒有聽新歌了，in any language.

有時候純粹是自找麻煩，有時候是情勢所逼，有時候是把頭埋進沙子裡拔不出來。因為卡住了，不管是腦袋、心情還是體重，所以這篇隨便亂寫，毫無目地的漫遊。

兩個月過去了，今天突然發現這件事情，從來沒有離開台灣這麼久。不知不覺中，2007也快要接近尾聲。跟忙碌的2006相比，2007顯得異常緩慢，時空幾乎是一種膠著狀態。 E=MC2，要是光速趨近無限緩慢，能量也無從釋放。去年此時，靠著愛因斯坦的思想實驗，度過煎熬的考試。今年要靠什麼呢？還是愛因斯坦？但因為嫌麻煩，把相對論放在家裡生灰塵了。嘖！讀社會學一堆密密麻麻的文字，有時真讓人煩躁，需要簡單明瞭的自然科學來解悶。(還不承認自己是怪人！居然用這種更無聊的方式來解悶？)

難得對於台灣政治現況不聞不問超過兩個月，雖然關心依舊，但已經將焦點轉向更遠處。一方面因為系上的專長領域是政治經濟學和環境社會學，耳濡目染之下，學會了用另一種眼光看政治現象。既然所有國家都在尋求自己的利益最大化，這場零和遊戲，誰才是真正的贏家？另一方面，其實這場戲的結局早已寫下，台上台下的人物只需扮演好自己的角色，照著劇本走到最後就是了。他們愛演，咱們觀眾也就將就著看吧。只是我現在距離太遙遠，懶得準時收看。

Quarter制儘管有許多討厭之處，也有可愛的地方：當你快要受不了的時候，學期就快要結束了。助教工作只剩下最後三週，課程還有四週。倒數計時。

Stuck In a Moment You Can't Get Out Of

U2

Album: All That You Can't Leave Behind

I'm not afraid of anything in this world
There's nothing you can throw at me that I haven't already heard
I'm just trying to find a decent melody
A song that I can sing in my own company 

I never thought you were a fool
But darling, look at you
You gotta stand up straight, carry your own weight
These tears are going nowhere, baby 

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it 

I will not forsake, the colors that you bring
But the nights you filled with fireworks
They left you with nothing
I am still enchanted by the light you brought to me
I listen through your ears, and through your eyes I can see 

And you are such a fool
To worry like you do
I know it's tough, and you can never get enough
Of what you don't really need now ... my oh my 

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment and you can't get out of it
Oh love look at you now
You've got yourself stuck in a moment and you can't get out of it 

I was unconscious, half asleep
The water is warm till you discover how deep
I wasn't jumping for me it was a fall
It's a long way down to nothing at all 

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment and you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better now
You're stuck in a moment and you can't get out of it 

And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if our way should falter
Along the stony pass 

And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if your way should falter
Along the stony pass
It's just a moment
This time will pass
