原來搭車也可以認識名人
之前就聽我爸說他在客運上認識了一個黑人
(其實我爸人緣超好, 光上班搭車就認識了一堆"點頭之交")
他是個鼓手,有在餐廳表演, 還給了他名片
現在我和我爸一起到公司
終於也親眼著到了這個黑人
他人真的很親切,都會主動和我們打招呼
人也超級nice的!!
有一次車上已經沒有兩個人的座位了
他便把他的的位子讓給我們
自己做到最後面去
繼上星期他給我一張傳福音的資料後
這星期一他又給我了一張自我介紹的紙卡和兩張名片
(紙卡上因為有電話mail等私人資料我就不照了)
以下是他給我的兩張名片:
Sappho
Tone 56 Live Bar
後來上網搜尋一下
才發現他原來是 "Jazz 音樂大師"
哈~ 我還真是失敬阿 @@
原來他還有接受過 Taipei Times 的專訪:
The Big Easy in Taipei
而且他的Band "Kenyatta Trio" 還有出過專輯喔!
Peace and Love
and 這是他的社群網頁:
Nbugu Kenyatta's Page
可以看的一些表演的片斷喔!
可惜我沒有那麼晚還出門的習慣
不然我想真想去看看的說
有興趣的人歡迎多多去捧場呦~
回來再跟我分享吧!!

我的畫家夢
Saturday, Jul 18, 2009 3:17PM / Standard Entry
小時後的我想當一個畫家
對美術小有天份的我
一開始是在星期六放學後跟美術老師學畫畫
葉老師不教後, 我又到住家附近的美術教室畫畫
說實在的
畫畫真的很有趣
尤其是畫完後的成就感
不過天份還是有限的
我不是當畫家的料
再加上升學壓力
國三時我便停掉了每週五晚上的課程
唉~我真的是好久沒畫圖了
現在想要畫也有種力不從心的感覺
前一陣子整理房間時看到以前的畫冊
覺得...我以前畫得還真好!
噗~ 小小的虛榮了一下
so...拍了照片, 紀錄一下以前的點滴
和大家分享一下我以為畫的很好的作品
http://www.wretch.cc/album/album.php?id=lifan0513&book=8
素描是我的強項
我的特色是畫上的筆觸
(也不能說是優點, 只是個人風格罷了)
至於水彩則是比較弱 (看了就知道)
至於油畫...我一直很想學
但無奈每次開課都在暑假我都錯過了
希望未來的某一天能再拾起畫筆
找回到童年單純的興趣

Mussina's career topic of Hall debate
Saturday, Nov 22, 2008 11:52AM / Standard Entry
NEW YORK -- Having attempted to keep a secret close to the vest for an entire year, Mike Mussina opened the first afternoon of his post-baseball life by unburdening himself of a confession.
The Yankees right-hander said that he knew all along that 2008 would be his final Major League season, having reached the decision to walk away from the game in January, looking to complete what would be his 18th and final tour around the American League.
The fact that he was able to walk away on top, less than two months after completing the first 20-win season of his career, just made his fond farewell all the more sweeter.
"I don't think there was ever a point where I looked around and said, 'You know what? I'm going to change my mind,'" Mussina said Thursday in a conference call to discuss his retirement.
"I just felt so good about the season, the way it was going, and enjoying it and not getting caught up in the bad times. It was like the last year of high school. You know it's going to end, and you just enjoy the ride."
Mussina said he kept the secret from reporters, teammates and even front-office executives because he did not want to become a focal point of the season. But by the time the year was over, he had emerged as the Yankees' most prominent pitcher, making Mussina's situation difficult to ignore.
"People who talk to you about it say, 'Make sure you're doing it for yourself,'" Mussina said. "Every decision you make, there's other factors involved. I have young children and they're getting involved with things. I've been away a long time and I want to be involved more. I'm certainly not getting younger, they're not getting younger and you can't get that time back. It's just the right time for me."
Completing his career with two clubs, the Yankees and Orioles, Mussina notched 270 victories, putting him within striking distance of the conversation for enshrinement in the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Having already seamlessly transitioned into a lifestyle of cleaning closets and shoveling snow -- his activities on his first day as a non-active player -- the decision is not Mussina's to make. His supporters will point to a high-octane offensive era and his standing with two AL East clubs among his many credentials.
"It was a great pleasure playing against -- and even more so -- with Mike Mussina since I entered the league in 1995," Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter said. "He was a true professional both on and off the field. Moose's accomplishments in the game over the last 18 years represent a Hall of Fame player."Magnificent MooseMike Mussina finished his 18-year career tied for 33rd place in wins RankPlayerWins1.

Ted Lyons * 260 * -- Hall of Famer Enjoying a resurgent season that saw him bounce back from injuries and inconsistency that marred his 2007 campaign, Mussina made adjustments to his style on the mound and remained healthy off of it.
Finishing the year 20-9 with a 3.37 ERA, Mussina becomes the first pitcher to retire immediately following a 20-win season since Hall of Famer Sandy Koufax hung up his spikes after winning 27 games for the Dodgers in 1966, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
As Mussina approached that 20th victory on Sept. 28 at Boston's Fenway Park, he addressed his proximity to the game's vaunted 300-win plateau, analyzing his situation in a typically cerebral style.
Mussina said that he could not count on having another 20-win season if he were to return, and if the more realistic goal was to win approximately 10 games a year, he'd be pitching to the age of 42 just to attain a milestone mark -- hanging on, even though his best work had already been completed.
"I didn't want to be one of those guys that bounces all over the place," Mussina said. "That's not how I feel about the game. If I can't contribute at the level I want to contribute at, then someone else should be doing it."
The Yankees had not been operating as though they were expecting Mussina to return, as both manager Joe Girardi and general manager Brian Cashman expressed doubts. Girardi said Wednesday that he was not surprised by reports of Mussina's retirement.
"He had led me to believe that that's what was going to happen at the end of the year," Girardi said. "I wasn't quite sure, in a sense, that I believed him. Sometimes when you get away from it, you really miss it and your family might encourage you to go. But I know he talked about wanting to be home more, and if he does, I won't be surprised."
Mussina has spoken often about how much he enjoys his hometown of Montoursville, Pa. -- certainly, his free-agent signing was one in which New York City was not to be a major selling point. His home features a collection of vintage automobiles and John Deere tractors that demand attention.
Now that he is unburdened of the ticking clock toward pitchers and catchers reporting, Mussina said he is unsure if he will remain in baseball in some capacity. He plans to spend much of his time this April at his son's baseball games, cheering him on alongside the other parents and playing Dad.
"I don't have any real plans -- I'm just enjoying the free time," Mussina said. "Guys who have retired before, I've asked them what they do with themselves, and they say they're busier now than when they were active players. I've been home for 8 1/2 weeks and I can't believe it's almost Thanksgiving already. The time is flying and the days are busy."
A seven-time AL Gold Glove Award winner, Mussina spent the last eight years of his career with the Yankees, signing as a free agent before the 2001 season after pitching his first 10 years in the Majors with the Orioles.He compiled a record of 123-72 with a 3.88 ERA in pinstripes, and since signing with the Yankees, no other AL pitcher recorded more wins than Mussina.
"I think I made a name for myself in Baltimore, but I had a lot more exposure and opportunities in New York," Mussina said. "We had seven trips to the postseason, a couple of trips to [World Series].
"You're on a bigger stage pitching for the Yankees. I played my last game as a Yankee, and I think if I would have chosen to return, they would have asked me. I loved playing in both places, but when retirement came around, I was still a Yankee."
A five-time All-Star who pitched his entire career in the AL East during an era of offensive power, Mussina pitched in 23 playoff games (21 starts), going 7-8 with a 3.42 ERA. He had six top five finishes in voting for the AL Cy Young Award, finishing second to Pedro Martinez in 1999. Mussina was sixth in voting this year.Moose among Kings of K'sMike Mussina finished his career in 19th place with 2,813 strikeouts RankPlayerStrikeouts1. Nolan Ryan * 5,714 2. Randy Johnson 4,789 3.

With a 123-72 record, Mussina finished 51 games over .500 with the Yankees while going 66 games over .500 with Baltimore (147-81). According to Elias, he joined Randy Johnson as the only pitchers since 1900 to own a career record of at least 50 games over .500 with two different teams.
"I can't complain at all about my experience in New York -- it was the best," Mussina said. "That's what I'm going to take from what I've been able to do."
Mussina left Baltimore to sign with a Yankees team that had just won four World Series titles in five years, coming off their Subway Series victory over the Mets.
And though Mussina was never able to win the ring that was once thought to be a virtual certainty, he helped the Yankees reach the 2001 and '03 Fall Classics, saying that he leaves with no regrets.
"I'm just proud that the Yankees asked me to come in and do a job for them, and I was able to do it," Mussina said. "It's not easy to go out there 30 times a year and be successful and stay healthy and do what everybody is expecting you to do every time.
"Yeah, I lost, and I didn't pitch great every time. But for the most part over the long haul, I did what I was supposed to do. When you're asked to do a job, you expect yourself to go out there and do it. I'm proud of myself that I went out there and did it as well as I did."
