这首歌是Lights 唱的 "Drive My Soul"
歌词：
Seems somebody put out the moon
Now the road is a minefield
I can’t follow the way she moves
I can’t see past the shadows
You make the darkness disappear
I feel found when you stay near
I know where I am when you are here
My way becomes so clear
When you’re gone
Will I lose control?
You’re the only road I know
You show me where to go
Who will drive my soul?
Seems somebody burned out the signs
I can’t expect the hard curves
There’s no borders
There are no lines
How can I know where to turn?
You make the street lights reappear
I feel bright when you stand near
I know what I am when you are here
My place becomes so clear
When you’re gone
Will I lose control?
You’re the only road I know
You show me where to go
Who will drive my soul?
Will I lose control?
You’re the only road that I know
You show me where to go
Who will drive my soul?
Drive my soul
When you’re gone
Will I lose control?
You’re the only road I know
You show me where to go
When you’re gone
Will I lose control?
You’re the only road I know
You show me where to go
Who will drive my soul?
每每骑车，总会带上相机，随手而摄。
过了一会，骑车经过老港的时候，忽见车道旁一大丛淡蓝色之花。开始没敢想那是熏衣草，走进看看叶子，有点象熏衣草，但整株比刚才看到的要大2，3倍。 用手指轻揉篮花粒，再闻一下手指，是熏衣草！只是香气和刚才从不同，应该品种不同。才回想起在法国普罗旺斯看到的就应该和这种类似。
原来市政已经在岛上种了不少熏衣草了，大家找找也许能找到更多。如果要辨认，最好的办法是用手指轻揉蓝色的花粒，然后闻一下手指是否带有香味。这是熏衣草农场的人教的方法。 希望大家别摘这些花儿，不然一会就没有了。。。
刚看完北京奥运闭幕式，很不错！
闭幕式并不是代表着这届奥运会的完结，它把这届奥运会封存起来。就算许久以后在打开，依然是壶上乘之酿！
The closing ceremony was not closing the 2008 Olympic Game, it preserved the game forever!
我看的是CBC的直播，两个主持人在转播过程都由衷的表达了自己的赞叹。其中女主播在看到从直升机上拍的五彩祥云的的画面时说：“我永远也不会看腻这样的画面。”
刚刚看了CNN网上对闭幕式的评论，相对以前CNN的论调，已经平缓很多了。 里面有赞也当然少不了弹。 但结尾的一段有意思，反驳了以前媒体对北京污染的担忧：
"Grand spectacle closes Beijing’s Olympics"
Worries over pollution and its impact on athletes seemed to fade away. Distance running events ran smoothly, and while the air was thick with smog on many days during the Games, foreign media did not report widespread health concerns by the tens of thousands of foreigners attending the Games.

张艺谋确实做得很不错！不过我相信自从这次奥运会后，会有更多的人才被发掘出来。其实不少人也有这样的实力，只是缺少了机会和胆量。这次与国际的“碰撞”，让中国和中国人都增加了自信！
中国这次和世界的正面“碰撞”之后，会对自身做很多的检讨，也意味着会有更好的改善。虽然这次奥运会我们准备得非常的充分，但是因为是第一次，所有能看出其中的一些“不知所措”。没关系，相信之后整个国家会变得更加成熟。
“江湖老大”的位置永远不会一帆风顺的坐上去的。中国，一路走好！
My first comment:
China did a great job in the last 40 years. All you guys started noticing China just in recent years. Did you compare the current China with the one 40 years ago? Did you compare the current HUMAN RIGHT and the situation 40 years ago in China?
Kids, all western countries, including US and Canada, has been through a long way to reach it’s current system. Comparing to China, US and Canada are "adult", China is still in Teenage. How do you expect a teenager can act like an adult? If you have kids, you should have known there won’t be sudden change while the kid is growing and learning. Unless, you don’t like the Chinese nation. Then it will be a big problem.
If you have studied Chinese nation for a long time, you would have known this nation would only become stronger while it’s experiencing crush from outside. It means when you crush it harder, it will be stronger. So throwing eggs, stones even bombs to China would only make it become a stronger nation. Haa, disappointed?
China is a special country need special power to rule. If you have a chance to ask the well educated Chinese people around you, asks them who else then Communist can rule the country well and better then now? You will surprisingly find out they say no. Why? Only Chinese people know Chinese people, and China. You seemed know something, but it’s all Medias’ opinion. Actually, you know nothing, because you never spent your time on its history and its change in the last 40 years.
Get yourself some knowledge, and you will find out many journalists are idiots. Tell you what, most of the western people don’t want to see China pass over them, because they can’t accept the reality. So, to balance their nerves, they would like to read something bad about china. And most of the Medias must to follow this routine to gain higher number of subscribers.

My 2nd coment:
Let’s think in this way:
Do you accept a super strong China with democratic government? Super strong means it would replace the US, and being the "leader" of the world.
Positive, you are a true humanist. Keep up your good work!
Negative? Then what do you hate is not the government. What you hate would be the country. Sorry, you are eating sour grapes, and for sure you will eat more in the coming years.

Heavy-handed police controls, massive state resources and the muzzling of protesters helped ensure the Games were a triumph – for China and its Communist rulers ……………
错过了这次？这个月底在渥太华附近有另一个热气球节：
