Mobiles and my life
By Freda

My mobile phone, to me, is not just an easy-taking tool for contact with others. I look on it as part of my private life. Here I'd like to use "she" to call it. Sometimes she is a good secretary, collecting fussy numbers for me; sometimes she is my personal poster, sending my words and receiving my messages. Sometimes she is my toy when I am bored in a meeting. So, you can see how much I depend on her! Now I want to tell you the stories between her and me.

When I was a junior in the university, mum sent her to me as a gift for my birthday. I still remember when I got her. I kept it in the palm of my hand for the whole afternoon. I liked her delicate shape and pleasing color very much. In the following days, she brought much happiness to my roommates and me.

At that time, I was the only person who owed a mobile phone in my dormitory, so I felt very proud of her; at the same time, I became the so-called "message center" of my dormitory. Whenever my roommates wanted to buy food (they were always hungry) or anything else they needed, they just sent a SMS to me so that everything was solved. So they always said: "want of Freda, want of convenience." I enjoyed the "job" a lot. When I heard the melodious sound of SMS, I became joyful to open the message, because there were funny words and figures made of punctuations and marks in the messages. The SMS always kept me in good mood.

Now I am a civil servant in the Local Tax Bureau for over a year. I like my job, because my work is for the nation's benefit. Well, you know what, my job is related with "SMS" too! We inform and remind taxpayers of some important issues by SMS. For example, I, as one of the tax administrator, when I want to inform some taxpayers to deal with their matters about tax as soon as possible, I can send a notice to the local network, then the data centre will transfer my information to the communication system, so my notice is soon available in the registered mobile phones of the taxpayers.

By SMS, we also can send new tax policies without delay. Taxpayers appreciate the measures we are taking to bring convenience to them.

To me, I am very interested in my present job, because it is up to date. I enjoy doing my job through various modern channels. SMS is really a lovely item to me. Most of my schoolmates work in other cities. I always send my greetings to them by SMS. Sometimes it is much better to send a SMS to express your feelings than speaking them out, whether it is a greeting, apology or private chat.

Oh, I hear the music of SMS from my mobile phone now, is it Qiqi, Catherine or Dale, SMS always brings surprise to me. It is just a piece of broadcasting news. Well, not bad.

诗意的生活
许银锑 (集美大学)

曾和朋友聊天, 无意地问了这么一个问题: "你会不会在一个阳光大好的清晨静静地在一棵树下逗留片刻, 看看满树的新绿? "似乎是不假思索, 朋友的嘴唇飞快地迸出三个字, "有病啊! "我眼前突地闪过伏尔泰的眼睛, 但仍故作轻松地看着他, 虽然我不同意他的观点, 但我誓死捍卫他说话的权利.
城市的发展, 人心的悸动, 年轻的生活却开始变得无比功利. 平行的距离, 平面的表情, 白领的寂寞, 蓝领的苦闷, 青春的空虚, 这难道是城市发展所需要的? 我们不得而知! 这城市每天有多少只眼在盯着墙上下班的秒针, 有多少个脑细胞在暗暗诅咒自己的上司.
迪吧, 网吧, 飞车, 酷发似乎成了青春的代码和城市进步的符号, 但除此难道青春就一无所有? 那何不试着活得诗意一点? 不是为了成为诗人. 这世上优秀的诗人都过早地凋谢了, 想想海子, 顾城, 骆一禾.
海德格尔曾引荷尔德林的诗 "人, 诗意地栖居在大地! ", 兰波也曾写下"生活在别处"的诗意名言. 简单的阐述却要付出沉重的代价去实践, 所以很少有人会如此地诗意生活.
五月, 鹭岛里里外外的菩提树脱去了残破的衣裳, 重又画上赤红的生机, 但还有谁会像佛祖当年那样在树下禅思?
现代生活里最具诗意的建筑便是铁轨和天桥, 但除了感觉呼啸而过的拥挤和匆忙烦躁的叹息外, 青春的思维很少在乎它的诗意. 怎不想这样孤单平行地伸向不可知的远方和桥下川流不息的轮回, 你年轻的心定会因如此的生活哲学而心生欢喜的.
喜欢一个城市从喜欢一条街开始, 喜欢一条街从喜欢街边风格独特的路灯开始. 不管如何, 一个城市的街灯设计最能体现城市的文明与品位了.
那么在等待绿灯的无聊看看这城市的代表, 你身边的路灯. 除了原始的光明, 你可以重新为它寻找一种诗意的存在.
拥挤的城市, 你感觉身边一切如毕加索笔下的恐慌时, 其实梵高的向日葵和莫奈的睡莲也在无言地开放的.
精神家园和精神病家园往往只是一墙之隔, 诗意生活和失意生活也只是一字之差. 别再只是沉浸于生活的固定规律了, 像诗一样不羁, 像诗一样融情. 那么下次望那墙上即将下班的秒针, 你有没有勇气喊出我们的青春宣言: "诗意的生活! "
