手製的幸福

太過速成的人生、節奏明快的生活、太過無情的世界,轉瞬即逝、不再有情;我們似乎都忘記了慢、回憶、朋友、與問候。

“人生ㄧ瞬”的威力發酵著,ㄧ本詹宏志的書、一個想念的季節、一篇褚士瑩的文章,呼應著從前的自己來到眼前和現在對照著;
原來壓力是如此的兩面軔,讓你拋去從前的慢慢與優閒,ㄧ股腦的跳進了與時俱進的洪流;但retrospection似乎也成了一種壓力,讓你不斷地對自己過去的十年反動著;壓力無所不再,逼自己慢下來、逼自己和朋友聯絡、逼自己要重拾書寫的樂趣…..壓力。

但壓力也就在ㄧ字一句間從身體進入了文章時....緩解。

太多了思念總在此時,或許最需要ㄧ張親手書寫的卡片、ㄧ聲問候、ㄧ則短訊才可以稍解每年襲來的思念狂潮。

新年快樂,我的朋友。

敗犬?

日本真是個奇特的國家,把年過30而未婚的女人稱之為敗犬,初聽到這個名詞的時候覺得它充滿了貶抑的意味,但”敗犬的遠吠”的作者--酒井順子—似乎已經對這樣的稱謂麻木並做出反擊。

2004的日本暢銷書,對現代的日本不婚族做了描述其實也正是台灣正在經歷的,敗犬是過去的人對不婚女性的貶抑,和單身寄生蟲一詞一樣是對生育率下降且對遠離傳統的這一群人而做出的一種激將的手法,但在現代人樂於做自己、只要我喜歡有什麼不可以的氛圍下,敗犬、單身寄身蟲、御宅族…等的名詞漸漸變成只是一股微弱的雜音,耳機戴上則隨時可以?棄眾人的紛擾而進入屬於自己的領域。

敗犬的遠吠,這應該是一本有趣的書,被稱之為敗犬的不再年輕未婚女子,或許可以藉此書找到自己的出身,藉由書中的描述去辨識出同類、去嘲笑社會過時的價值觀….等。

Beware the overpriced debt

Private Equity uses LBO to leave most of the debt to banks. It needs to be wary of the banking industries. When there’s not any boom sustained corporate sales, then the earning of corporate dwindled, finally the binge would come to an end.
Hope banks with most of the LBO debts without structured could survive.

But thanks to the spree of credit derivatives recently. The risk of the defaults would bear by investors evenly not only banks. The question is who’s the investor. So look into the portfolio of your mutual fund just in case you are the scapegoats.

In the harbor, one rookie of investment banking asked his chief where are the yachts of the clients. It’s a joke but cruel to show the reality there’s no boat left for us. The LBO binge stumps up fees to the private equities for their orgy. And left the bourgeois like us sank.

See what the Buttonwood said this week. 〈http://www.economist.com/finance/displaystory.cfm?story_id=8459490〉
