little moments

週六下午時分從downtown開車回家
在高速公路上塞了一個小時為了通過那個該死的收費站
煩燥程度直逼爆炸邊緣
卻在此時從radio裡傳出一首意外好聽的小曲
當下果真如久旱逢甘霖阿
情意真摯動人 給她一個A
順便轉錄一下歌詞作紀念


Artist: Brad Paisley
Song: Little Moments Like That

Well I'll never forget the first time that I heard
That pretty mouth say that dirty word
And I can't even remember now, what she backed my truck into
But she covered her mouth and her face got red and she just looked so darn cute
That I couldn't even act like I was mad-
Yeah I live for little moments like that

That's like just last year on my birthday
She lost all track of time and burnt the cake
And every smoke detector in the house was going off
She was just about the cry
Until I took her in my arms
And I tried not to let her see, me laugh-
Yeah I live for little moments like that

I know she's not perfect, but she tries so hard for me
And I thank God that she isn't
Cause how boring would that be?
It's the little imperfections, it's the sudden change in plans
When she misreads the directions and we're lost
But holding hands-Yeah I live for little moments like that

When she's laying on my shoulder, on the sofa, in the dark
And about the time she falls asleep, so does my right arm
And I want so bad to move it, cause its tingling and its numb
But she looks so much like an angel,
That I don't wanna wake her up-
Yeah I live for little moments-

When she steals my heart again and doesn't even know it-
Yeah I live for little moments like that

很浪漫吧~~

wanna live long?

an interesting article on the long lived

Below are some excerpts.

facts?
"... diet, exercise, health habits, social support and the ability to find meaning in life appear to play a role in getting people to, say, 85. But, some of them say, they suspect that genes play the dominant role in hitting 100 or above."

the funny parts-
...“I have a 104-year-old lady who’s been smoking for 95 years,” he (Dr. Barzilai, professor of medicine and molecular genetics) said. “Her response is, ‘Every doctor who told me to stop is now dead.’ ”

... “I have no one that was exercising,” said Nir Barzilai, director of the Institute for Aging Research at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, who is studying 400 centenarians. “I don’t have vegetarians. Nobody ate yogurt or anything like that. ...”
(Looks like I am on the right track in hitting 100!)

reality check-
...“The longer the person lives, the more generations you have to deal with and the more your own future becomes an issue,” said Roberta Satow, a sociologist at Brooklyn College and the author of a book on caring for parents. “We have 70-year-olds taking care of their 90- and 100-year-old parents. Those 70-year-olds are worried about what they’re going to have if they’re spending the money on Mom and Dad.”
