work sucks, i know! four simple words but they mean a whole lot to me. at least for today. sitting here fiddling with figures for the budgets when suddenly they come in and want me to change the figures accordingly. no wonder enron went down. it's people like them who orders stupid changes. and people like me either can't be bothered to ask or are afraid to challenge. i'm in the first category, just to make it clear. and anyway, it's all fucking numbers and figures. it's not even real, it's only a concept. and they will use this as their "bible" for next year. well, all i can say is good luck. i hope i can find myself a nice survival boat when this ship sinks...

on to pop culture. i wanted to write about matrix revolutions, but this article here is much more interesting. turns out the matrix trilogy has a deeper objective than just to dabble with phylosophy and show amazing special effects. no wonder people didn't get the second one. or the last one. i still find it an amazing movie. and with all these interpretations, it could be up there somewhere alongside 2001: a space odyssey. and yes, you have the right to fully disagree with that and call me an idiot.

as for ben harper yesterday, imagine jimi hendrix with bob marley's soul, rocking out lenny kravitz tunes with the soul of marvin gaye. that's ben harper, more or less. he's in the same category as dave matthews, only drawing from a bigger pool of music influences. i just can't figure out why he's bigger in europe than in his home country, the US of A? oh well, i think he likes europe better anyway.

back to work and millions of friggin figures and numbers...
