So you think we might have put a few people out of business today. That its all for naught. You've been doing that everyday for almost forty years Sam.

And if this is all for naught then so is everything out there. Its just money; its made up. Pieces of paper with pictures on it so we don't have to kill each other just to get something to eat. It's not wrong.

And it's certainly no different today than its ever been. 1637, 1797, 1819, 37, 57, 84, 1901, 07, 29, 1937, 1974, 1987-Jesus, didn't that fuck up me up good-92, 97, 2000 and whatever we want to call this. It's all just the same thing over and over; we can't help ourselves.

And you and I can't control it, or stop it, or even slow it. Or even ever-so-slightly alter it. We just react.

And we make a lot money if we get it right. And we get left by the side of the side of the road if we get it wrong.

And there have always been and there always will be the same percentage of winners and losers. Happy foxes and sad sacks. Fat cats and starving dogs in this world.

Yeah, there may be more of us today than there's ever been. But the percentages-they stay exactly the same.

每天几乎是第一个到最后一个走。

而同事却像一天两次的潮汐，涨了又退，退了又涨，都在不知不觉中。

脑中快进的镜头一遍又一遍。

DH上的Wordpress升级到3.0.4之后，我就死活登陆不能了。

客服拿钱不干事，咱还是找Google吧。

当初说的两年的Life-Cycle早就到。

是那时候说再见了。

把宝贵的时间浪费在失败的设计上是自杀。

1. 2009年，先后旅行了8次，对机场安检的那两段感同身受。
2. 2009年，身临2次裁员，知道所谓萧瑟凋零的办公室是什么滋味。
3. 2009年，天昏地暗地工作，知道家人和朋友的支持对自己意味着什么。
4. 漂泊在外的一年，所以飘在云端的那种迷茫更是共鸣的不行～

细细读了剧本，感触油然而生。

Anybody whoever built an empire or changed world, sat where you are now. And it's because they sat there that they were able to do it

这段话貌似就是对现在的我说的。

又是一年圣诞。

作为一个没有真正圣诞传统的外国人，如同往年一样，索性去一个陌生的城市，去做个陌生人，今年选了匈牙利的布达佩斯。

还记得去年在爱丁堡那个狼狈的圣诞夜，没有大餐，只有比萨。

今年会在温泉浴中度过这个西方的节日。

当然还有同行的朋友一起。

明晚吃什么？

这是个问题，这里再繁忙的城市，过节可都是闭门迎客的。

好在历来运气都还行。

一年吃了纽伦堡集市的热红酒+香肠，

有一年吃了T-bone牛排，在一家中国人开的西餐厅。

至今记忆犹新。
