America
Ohhhh so many things to post about!
The pressure of shooting is upon me again which is never fun. I wish that I had money to make this short and it wasn't like Happy Holidays in the fact that we have to cut corners for everything.
The one good thing about it however, is it is not like HH in the fact that getting people to help me cut corners is much easier. It's nice to have the confidence of friends and co-workers that I am doing the right thing, that they trust me as a filmmaker.
However, at my job I, like when I was a server am getting quite tired of people. This might sound weird to someone who doesn't understand what its like to constantly have to interact with human beings, but it's really disgusting how rude and cut throat people are. I would say about 70% of the people I interact with, mostly the regular people at work are great! But it's the people that come in and out, the phone calls that are just revolting. It makes you loose hope in humanity when even on a small scale, people are so eager to create a caste system, to treat younger people with no respect because they feel their age entitles them to be assholes. That because they have an extra zero at the end of their paycheck beyond yours, they have the right to disregard you as a person.
There is a difference between deserving respect and feeling entitled to service.
I worry that human beings are naturally assholes, that our natural state is to fuck over everyone around you in the hope of staying alive for a second longer. Those people are selfish and only see out of their own eyes. They make rash decisions not understand how what they do directly effects everyone around them, from people in a store to friends and family. They are polluting the earth not only with toxins, but with negativity.
The optimist or "real" me, wants to disagree, wants to believe that we can all get along and disregard social class, race, sex orientation, gender, and just progress into a happy future. But the cynical part of me thinks McCain will be elected.
Man that felt good to write!

Oh I know what you mean about those people... it makes you depressed. I guess that's why I run away from most of the jobs I could be getting. I wanna be happy and optimist about the world and life forever!

Seriously, if McCain becomes the next president I will become an ex-patriot. I know America is a rather kick-ass country and everything, but we won't be if there's another Republican president.
I think, though, that working in LA makes you a lot more likely to run into assholes. Now your goal in life is to change LA into a non-asshole city!
