whose eyes are a thousand blind windows

I don't know if you guys remember, but I started to blog as a 22nd birthday gift to myself. I think I mentioned that I'd do this just for ONE year of my life. I mean, 22's like a blazing comet that just comes around once in your lifetime. Why not capture every moment of this stinking post-grad life, and subsequently find every chance to make an introspection on how you've wasted the past 4 years in undergrad, NOT making a difference in the world???

I recently went through a "WTF is wrong with our nation?!"-phase. I also like to call it the "Forget superman! Where the hell is Jesus!"-phase. I guess it's my next civil duty as a decent citizen of America to start showing some concern for politics. I've been hearing those political campaigns all over the radio about "the people first" and "building a new California" and "cutting wasteful spending" and "pledging to fix the state of our public school education system," blah blah blah. Okay, okay, I get it. People are obviously passionate about these things. And I don't doubt the sincerity of their concern for these issues either. It's just that, people fight for these same things every year. People always fight for change, and kudos to them. But why are we always still here? There's still hungry children. There's still people getting laid off. Our public schools are still sucking. The government's still wasting money and coming up with new decisions that, yet again, waste money. And by the way, what are we exactly spending money on that we've managed to accumulate trillion dollars worth of national debt? New helicopters for every politician? Did Lil-Wayne get Lawry's for dinner every night while he was in jail? It makes me wonder if these politicians truly care for "the people" like they say they do.

I watched the film Waiting for Superman, and although I'll save my bucket load of critiques for a later time, there is one thing that I took away from this "heart-wrenching" documentary. In one particular scene, Michelle Rhee makes a refreshing comment that at the end of the day, it's "always about the adults." And I couldn't agree with her more.

Because it is. After all the intellectual debates about how we ought to budget our funds, and stimulate spending, and boost our economy, and start making a difference in our society...at the end of the day, it's always about the "adults."

I don't know about you, but we live in a dull reality whose eyes are a thousand blind windows.

Where the hell is Jesus? I wanna go home.
