2009年终总结

一,今年去过的国家有:澳大利亚、美国、加拿大、英国、巴西、荷兰、印度尼西亚、秘鲁、丹麦、挪威和瑞典。其中澳大利亚、丹麦、挪威和瑞典都是一年去两次,很变态。
二,今年看到了几个世界级风景名胜和文物遗址,比如北极光、大堡礁、北欧峡湾、马楚皮楚、印加古道、纳斯卡地画、里约热内卢基督像、达尔文故居和印尼海啸遗址。印象最深的当然是马楚皮楚和印加古道,印尼的苏门答腊岛和Nias小岛印象也很深。
三,今年写的最用心的文章是秘鲁游记、达尔文周年纪念、乙肝治疗、垃圾僵局和几篇关于气候变化的,还算满意。
四,生命八卦专栏坚持下来了,而且自认为水平有所提高。我的第一本生命八卦合集即将于明年一月份出版,敬请期待。
五,今年比较遗憾的是没有时间给《读库》写稿,老六要求的“年度力作”没有兑现,今年要补上。
六,另外比较遗憾的是今年没有去过一次非洲。我想念非洲,今年一定想办法去一次。
我知道很多读者羡慕我这种生活,但我想说的是,这种生活其实也是很累的,需要牺牲很多东西。不过呢,人的一生短暂,就看你最看重什么了,如果你喜欢过这样的日子,那就别怕做出牺牲。只要你肯努力,放弃一些对你来说不太重要的东西,你一定能过上你想要的生活。加油吧。
年终金曲:Don Henley-《The End Of Innocence》(纯真年代的终结):
Remember when the days were long
And rolled beneath a deep blue sky
Didn’t have a care in the world
With mommy and daddy standing by
When “happily ever after” fails
And we’ve been poisoned by these fairy tales
The lawyers dwell on small details
Since daddy had to fly
But I know a place where we can go
That’s still untouched by man
(Repeat)
We’ll sit and watch the clouds roll by
And the tall grass waves in the wind
You can lay your head back on the ground
And let your hair fall all around me
Offer up your best defense
But this is the end
This is the end of the innocence
O’ beautiful, for spacious skies
But now those skies are threatening
They’re beating plowshares into swords
For this tired old man that we elected king
Armchair warriors often fail
And we’ve been poisoned by these fairy tales
The lawyers clean up all details
Since daddy had to lie
But I know a place where we can go
And wash away this sin
Who knows how long this will last
Now we’ve come so far, so fast
But, somewhere back there in the dust
That same small town in each of us
I need to remember this
So baby give me just one kiss
And let me take a long last look
Before we say good bye
Just lay your head back on the ground
And let your hair fall all around me
Offer up your best defense
But this is the end
This is the end of the innocence
