i don't think that staplers need to be automatic. to me, the idea that we can't take the 2 seconds out of our busy day to hit a stapler is absurd. and very sad. who are we to claim that our time is worth more? and i don't think that we need instant potatoes. whatever happened to doing things the old fashioned way? when did our lives pass by so fast, that we didn't have to time to boil water?
we complained that taking film photographs wasn't efficient enough. now, film is nearly obsolete. digital is all the rage. but what about the nostalgia of real photographs printed from film? holding the negatives up to the light and squinting to decipher one image from another? what about the fact that i now have a digital camera that, although helpful when trying to capture a perfect image with the delete function, holds all my photos like a ticking time bomb. do i ever look back through the photos? rarely. do i ever ::gasp:: get them printed? never.
i want to go back to the times when my hardest decision was what to wear that day or which responsibility to avoid first. when deciding what i would wear the first day back at school seemed like a crisis. the days when driving with the windows down and radio cranked up was considered running errands. i miss the days when people had to cancel their plans because they had to work, because they took their jobs seriously. when we will all have jobs again? when will life get back to normal?
dear recession,
i hate you.
although i have learned from you,
i will not look back at you with fond memories.
you may leave now.
without hesitation,
katie
