완벽주의적 성격을 가진 나에게는 오히려 독이 될 수 있는 내용일지도. 맞는 얘기인 것 같으면서도, 동시에 우리의 정신 에너지를 비롯한 각종 자원이 유한하다는 생각을 언제나 놓지 않아야만 한다는 생각이 든다. 원체 모든 일에 욕심이 많고 완벽을 추구하다보니 자원이 낭비될 때가 많다. 결국 언제나 선택과 집중을 현명하게 해야만 하는 것이겠지.
이런 내 성격이 싫은 것은 아니지만(오히려 자랑스럽다!), 선택과 집중을 잘 한다면 더 삶을 잘 꾸려나갈 수 있을 것이라는 생각도 마찬가지로 옳다고 본다. 고민하고 있는 것이 내가 바로 가고 있다는 증거라고 친구가 말해줬는데, 그 말이 참 위로가 되었다. 확신하지 않은 상태였다면 내가 끊임없이 고민하고 있다는 것이 오히려 바르게 생각하고 행동하고 있다는 징표가 되어 주겠지. 난생 처음 가본 곳에서 지도 한 장 없이 방황하고 있는 모습을 상상해본다면.
별 기대 안하고 들었는데 생각보다 좋아서 놀랐던 노래. 브랜뉴뮤직에서 냈길래 한번 들었을 뿐인데 오래 두고 들을만한 노래를 찾게 된 것 같아서 참 기쁘다. 칸토는 좀 사라졌으면 더 좋았을텐데...
'I never say good-bye 안녕이란 그 말 하지마' 라는 부분과 엄정화가 립싱크한 뮤직비디오가 기억에 남아있던 가수 H. 친구 말로는 공백기동안 치킨집을 하고 있었다던데, 네이버에 찾아보니까 안나오네. 치킨집이라ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
내 음악 취향을 잘 특정지을 수 있는 곡인 것 같다. 내가 좋아하는 노래는 '이런' 노래다. 말하자면 이런 노래가 줄기고 가지가 뻗어나가는? 힙합도 그렇고 알앤비도 그렇고 말이다. 참고로 박진영 노래도 내 취향에 잘 맞는 것 같다. 이런 장르를 뭐라고 부르나? 어반이라고 하나?
나이도 많은데 생각보다 춤도 잘춰서 한번 더 놀랐다. 크크 이런 표현이 적절할 지는 잘 모르겠지만, 뮤직비디오가 참 귀엽게 나온 것 같다.
나야 미국 정치에 대해서 일자무식이고 오바마에 대해서 잘 모르기야하지만, 잘 모르는 입장에서도 참 멋있게 느껴졌다. 'we can'이라는 말!
아래는 연설 전문.
Thank you, New Hampshire. I love you back. Thank you. Thank you.
Well, thank you so much. I am still fired up and ready to go. (APPLAUSE)
Thank you. Thank you.
Well, first of all, I want to congratulate Senator Clinton on a hard-fought victory here in New Hampshire. She did an outstanding job. Give her a big round of applause.
(APPLAUSE)
You know, a few weeks ago, no one imagined that we'd have accomplished what we did here tonight in New Hampshire. No one could have imagined it.
For most of this campaign, we were far behind. We always knew our climb would be steep. But in record numbers, you came out, and you spoke up for change.
And with your voices and your votes, you made it clear that at this moment, in this election, there is something happening in America.
(APPLAUSE)
There is something happening when men and women in Des Moines and Davenport, in Lebanon and Concord, come out in the snows of January to wait in lines that stretch block after block because they believe in what this country can be.
There is something happening. There's something happening when Americans who are young in age and in spirit, who've never participated in politics before, turn out in numbers we have never seen because they know in their hearts that this time must be different.
There's something happening when people vote not just for party that they belong to, but the hopes that they hold in common.
And whether we are rich or poor, black or white, Latino or Asian, whether we hail from Iowa or New Hampshire, Nevada or South Carolina, we are ready to take this country in a fundamentally new direction.
That's what's happening in America right now; change is what's happening in America.
You, all of you who are here tonight, all who put so much heart and soul and work into this campaign, you can be the new majority who can lead this nation out of a long political darkness.
Democrats, independents and Republicans who are tired of the division and distraction that has clouded Washington, who know that we can disagree without being disagreeable, who understand that, if we mobilize our voices to challenge the money and influence that stood in our way and challenge ourselves to reach for something better, there is no problem we cannot solve, there is no destiny that we cannot fulfill. Our new American majority can end the outrage of unaffordable, unavailable health care in our time. We can bring doctors and patients, workers and businesses, Democrats and Republicans together, and we can tell the drug and insurance industry that, while they get a seat at the table, they don't get to buy every chair, not this time, not now.
(APPLAUSE)
Our new majority can end the tax breaks for corporations that ship our jobs overseas and put a middle-class tax cut in the pockets of working Americans who deserve it.
We can stop sending our children to schools with corridors of shame and start putting them on a pathway to success.
We can stop talking about how great teachers are and start rewarding them for their greatness by giving them more pay and more support. We can do this with our new majority.
We can harness the ingenuity of farmers and scientists, citizens and entrepreneurs to free this nation from the tyranny of oil and save our planet from a point of no return.
And when I am president of the United States, we will end this war in Iraq and bring our troops home.
(APPLAUSE)
We will end this war in Iraq. We will bring our troops home. We will finish the job -- we will finish the job against Al Qaida in Afghanistan. We will care for our veterans. We will restore our moral standing in the world.
And we will never use 9/11 as a way to scare up votes, because it is not a tactic to win an election. It is a challenge that should unite America and the world against the common threats of the 21st century: terrorism and nuclear weapons, climate change and poverty, genocide and disease.
All of the candidates in this race share these goals. All of the candidates in this race have good ideas and all are patriots who serve this country honorably.
(APPLAUSE)
But the reason our campaign has always been different, the reason we began this improbable journey almost a year ago is because it's not just about what I will do as president. It is also about what you, the people who love this country, the citizens of the United States of America, can do to change it.
That's what this election is all about.
That's why tonight belongs to you. It belongs to the organizers, and the volunteers, and the staff who believed in this journey and rallied so many others to join the cause.
We know the battle ahead will be long. But always remember that, no matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change.
We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics. And they will only grow louder and more dissonant in the weeks and months to come.
We've been asked to pause for a reality check. We've been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope. But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope.
(APPLAUSE)
For when we have faced down impossible odds, when we've been told we're not ready or that we shouldn't try or that we can't, generations of Americans have responded with a simple creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes, we can. Yes, we can. Yes, we can.
It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation: Yes, we can.
It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail towards freedom through the darkest of nights: Yes, we can.
It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores and pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness: Yes, we can.
It was the call of workers who organized, women who reached for the ballot, a president who chose the moon as our new frontier, and a king who took us to the mountaintop and pointed the way to the promised land: Yes, we can, to justice and equality.
Yes, we can, to opportunity and prosperity. Yes, we can heal this nation. Yes, we can repair this world. Yes, we can.
And so, tomorrow, as we take the campaign south and west, as we learn that the struggles of the textile workers in Spartanburg are not so different than the plight of the dishwasher in Las Vegas, that the hopes of the little girl who goes to the crumbling school in Dillon are the same as the dreams of the boy who learns on the streets of L.A., we will remember that there is something happening in America, that we are not as divided as our politics suggest, that we are one people, we are one nation.
And, together, we will begin the next great chapter in the American story, with three words that will ring from coast to coast, from sea to shining sea: Yes, we can.
