Kalau di Amerika, yang namanya hiburan di jalanan itu ya segala sesuatu digital entertainment yang bisa kita dapatkan di jalanan. Mulai dari dengerin radio biasa, sirius XM radio (yang harus langganan), HD Radio (radio gratis dengan kualitas CD), cd audio, mp3, imeem melalui cellphone (G1 rox!), menikmati DVD atau bahkan gaming console :D

Nah, menurutku jalanan di Indo itu jauhhh lebih seru. Selain isinya lebih sadis, dinamis, dan multi-jenis (angkutan umum berbagai ukuran dan gaya:becak, bemo, bajaj, angkot, busway, damri, dsb) – jalanan di Indo itu lebih atraktif alias banyak hiburan. Dari jalanan yang kanan kiri penuh orang, pasar yang melubar ke jalanan, pedagang kaki lima, tukang parkir yang pasang badan di tengah jalan demi menyelipkan toyota kijang di sela-sela dua mobil, sampai pak ogah yang kehadirannya diam-diam disyukuri semua orang (padahal bukannya itu tugas pak polisi yah?).  Nah, last but not least, satu hal yang aku rasa uniquely Indonesian: tulisan yang kadang disertai gambar nakal di belakang mobil. Sungguh, bumper sticker yang kami dapati di Amerika ga ada apa-apanya kalo kita bandingkan kadar kelucuannya :D

PesanLewat.com adalah blog mengenai “cerita dari jalan raya”, isinya berkisar tentang tulisan-tulisan tersebut. Favoritku tentu saja: IJOLUMUT

Ikatan Jomblo Lucu dan Imut!

Dan yang sedikit bikin hati bertanya-tanya

hobinya berburu janda?

The Call – Regina Spektor The Call Regina Spektor It started out as a feeling which then grew into a hope Which then turned into a quiet thought Which then turned into a quiet word And then that word grew louder and louder till it was a battle cry I’ll come back when you call me, no need to say goodbye Just because everything’s changing doesn’t mean it’s never been this way before All you can do is try to know who your friends are as you head off to the war Pick a star on the dark horizon and follow the light You’ll come back when it’s over, no need to say goodbye You’ll come back when it’s over, no need to say goodbye Now we’re back to the beginning, it’s just a feeling and no one knows yet But just because they can’t feel it too, doesn’t mean that you have to forget Let your memories grow stronger and stronger till they’re before your eyes You’ll come back when they call you, no need to say goodbye You’ll come back when they call you, no need to say goodbye

Kudos for RCTI and Indosiar for keep broadcasting the papal mass, keep up the good work! I don’t think that any public tv station in the states will air it. EWTN definitely has it, but come on, they are catholic channel. But I guess the circumstances are different for every country. Merry Christmas and peace on earth! Selamat natal dan damai di bumi!
