wandering the streets of downtown

Standing on the corner of 7th and Figueroa I start to wonder how the city came to be established? Who decided these names, why is this building designed like this, and why is parking such a pain in the ass? Why does food and parking cost 1.5 -2 X what it normally does when you are downtown, but suits and jewelry are cheaper? All things I'm sure everyone might have wondered at different points but just let go. Well I guess I didn't let it go, I really wish I knew these answers, I mean... I know the answer is "rent" and other things and such but I know each of these places makes a good profit or they'd close down, and it's weird how the whole economic structure of downtown is setup but yeah.. I'm just rambling... I guess I just think the way we set stuff up is retarded, making downtown expensive because it's the center is retarded and is what drives people away and to the outskirts. Causing huge traffic jams, I mean the way LA is setup is great (my opinion) because its so unique from other places (or so I hear) and such, but it's also silly (also my opinion (i know it doesn't make sense, i'm conflicting)). I think I'm just ranting and questioning weird things right now but that's how I'm feeling.

Onto another topic. Men... and Women... I feel they are so different yet so the same. Today I was calling various dealerships and acquiring information for cases and whenever I would encounter a General Manager who was a Male, it turned into an argument ending with them cussing me out, or hanging up on me. When the GM was a woman, they would assist me right away provided I could evidence I was really the authority I was stating to be. Now you might say this is just a stereotype but the fact that this happened for 8 hours EVERY time, and the same thing happened to my co-worker who is a female and got crap from every woman she encountered but had no problems with the men. Keep in mind we even switched our failures and had success with the males/females the other could not succeed with. We claimed to be the exact entity and said the same exact things but had different results (I know this was worded poorly but it's 8:11pm and I'm fucking tired so bear with me). I am no psychologist nor pretend to be but I think this proves men are sexist, and women hate women. Now you might wonder why I make that argument and not that men hate men, and women are sexist. Well because that's a stupid argument and my argument is much better and you have to take my word for it (seriously though, you should... I'm this close > < to my psych major) Well I'm done for today, peace out.

Go Joe!!!
