11
As I await the release of Number 11 with abated breath, I start to wonder how much of the past will come and smack me in the face.
The promotion schedule's been lined up, some really exciting plans are in the works, Wonderful Music have warned me of tough days ahead.
Tough. Days.
Ha.
Will it perhaps require me standing in minus four degrees in a singlet with
pelting ice? Or living in a glass box with cameras switched on 24/7 ala Truman
show? Explain to the world the monstrosity of a much publicised event? Or would
it require the most painful fear of facing your acne in the mirror?
I recollect my past with some amusement. And a little twitch. But most of all I
feel so freaking grateful.
What a difference they have made. These testy events, these hard to swallow
pills. In the words of Alanis Morisette (yea not a good choice, the album marked
the end of her career),
"Thank you frailty
Thank you consequence
Thank you thank you silence."
Aha, but I have another list to add:
Thank YOU.
And him.
And her.
And good cleanser.
And courage,.... there's also airconditioning, story books, love, N, katy perry, posturpedic beds, Jonah's questions, fertiliser, Barney Stinson, Kenn C, kind
words, Miso, daily affirmation with Jessica, , parents, Edward Sharpe and the
Magnetic Zeros, Christian the Lion, Fiona Apple, fire trucks, Aomori Gymnasts blah blah blah blah ...
See it doesn't just end at silence. There are so many many many other things.

我呼吸缓慢地等待着我的第11张专辑发行，开始忍不住向往过去的经历是否会再度出现，再度考验。
新专辑的宣传行程已经确定，一些着实让人兴奋地计划也正在筹备中。美妙音乐已经提醒过我，即将到来的宣传期可能会是磨人的日子。
磨人。日子。
哈。
是否要顶着风暴，穿件背心，站在零下四度的冰川上？还是在玻璃屋里，对着镜头，上演一场24小时不间断的楚门秀？或者向外界解释，一场被夸大宣传手法的用意？还是要承受最恐惧的，面对镜子里脸上的痘痘？
我带着几分娱乐的心态回想我的过去。也带了一点点抽搐。最多的是，很多分感激。
因为这些事而改变的观感。这些充满考验的经历，这些难以下咽的良药。就如歌手阿兰尼斯.莫丽赛特（Alanis Morisette）（当然这个人选不是太好，那张专辑意味着她歌唱生涯的结束）的歌词所说：
“感谢脆弱,
感谢因果,
感谢感谢沉默”
啊哈，但我还有更多要感谢的：
谢谢你们。
还有他。
还有她。
还有好的卸妆油。
还有勇气，.....当然还有空调，故事书，爱情，N，凯蒂•佩里，Posturpedic牌的床，侄子约拿的问题，肥料，Barney Stinson，Kenn C, 安慰的话语，那碗味增汤，那位味增TAN，视频daily affirmation with Jessica（那个可爱的小女孩），我的父母，Edward Sharp and the Magnetic Zeros，狮子Christian【被拍成电影《乖狮克里斯蒂安》（Christian the Lion）】，歌手Fiona Apple，救火车，日本青森体操运动员等等等等….
看吧，并没有在感谢沉默中结束。还有这么这么这么多的别的事情。 |
