Man, back from work and I SOOOOO don't wanna work. Had lunch at the Elephant Bar w/ some coworkers after goin to the bank. That's actually the first time I've gone out to lunch w/ coworkers...usually it's just Joe, who works over in Norwalk and Rob, who's @ home in La Mirada. Occasionally Janelle from Downey will come down for lunch, and that's about it. But the occasion was Cindy's last day here...we even had cake in the conference room. It's sad to see her go, she was so fun and energetic, and was really good at decorations and stuff...damnit, my connection thing to my laptop is really being weird...it keeps disconnecting. Oh well, anyway, so we had cake and ice cream and it was cool. And now I dont' wanna work at all.
Westerfield got sentenced to the death penalty...how sad. I know this is probably totally opposite from what most people think, but I am not for the death penalty. I just don't see the justification in killing someone who has done so themselves. To me, that just makes me feel like we're just as bad. It's like wronging a wrong w/ a wrong, and as you know 2 wrongs don't make a right. Unfortunately, I cannot provide a solution, I just know that deep down in my heart of hearts, it's just not right. Probably because of my relationship w/ Father Pat over at Interfaith, but he has really shown me that life is not about killing off those that WE think deserve death. Some people who deserve to die live and some people who deserve to live die. It's not OUR decision in my opinion. And I truly believe that God will judge each of us for our actions in this life. I think sometimes we are so focused on revenge and punishment, we forget about forgiveness. I don't know why I'm trippin like this, maybe just because I was just thinking back into a debate I got into about this subject, and I was referred to as idealistic. But I don't think there's anything wrong w/ that, I think it's my ideals that keep me going...to know that there is more good in the world than bad(Goodness, I sound like Sam Gamgee)...sheesh, life is hard, ain't it?
