pet peeve: paper pushing

just a thought - people should not get paid to do stupid stuff. i generally dislike the concept of middle management etc. a thought: when middle management becomes a position in a company, the company is getting too big.

I question the value of big companies and think that as a society we need to weigh the value of decrease administrative costs to actually helping people do something significant with their lives.

I owe the city of inglewood $100 for a parking ticket ($53 of that is in late fees) and they supposedly can't do anything about it because they didn't get the mail i sent them (without a check) a month ago. something about when the computer adds the fee, they can't change it. is that bs?

i forgot that we have somehow become less than the ability of our computers???!

so in addition to bureaucracy gone bad, i saw blood diamond for the first time and became unbelievably/typically sad and it feels more and more like the world is crumbling all around me. Is it true? Perhaps not but it does give a nice image of the light that christians are supposed to be in this world as it crumbles. forgive me for questioning god and religion, but regardless i think we need more light in this world and more of us need to step up/step out of the dark.

the world is too preposterous without a god/without a living jesus. it takes faith to believe and faith to not believe but certainly the evidence of the truth is all around.

my left eye is hurting because i've been using it too much. my right eye is getting weaker and i'm pretty sure i'll be blind in that eye soon enough. hopefully not before the major earth quake in CA.

are the strange times we are living in any more strange than the generation before us?

is time in a straight line? are we progressing towards something other than blindness and death?

buenas noches.
