normally i wouldn't mind some johnny cash, except when a neighbor is blasting it at 5 in the morning.
the guy downstairs from wendi started blasting music at about 5am. i approximate 5am because i actually got up and checked the clock at like 5:30. i'm usually dead asleep at that hour, so, i'm guessing it'd been going on for a long time.
about 15 minutes later i go downstairs and knock on his door. he opens the door and i see there's another guy in there who i heard him talking with. anyway he's holding an alcoholic beverage and looks really scruffy. he shakes my hand apologetically and says "oh i'm sorry.. the fires.. we've been working 16-hour weeks.. i'm sorry." i probably mishead, and he said 60-hour weeks instead of 16. was he a firefighter?? even then it's no excuse to be inconsiderate. whatever. i didn't know what to say to that, so i just left. i can still hear the music though. wtf.
i washed my hands, checked my work email, and now i'm feeling sleepy again.. but i can still hear the music. i think i'm just too tired to be pissed.
hmm.. the clock on my drupal is wrong, it's showing that i posted this at 5:29. it should be 6:29. anyway the music is now louder than it was after i knocked on his door, and i can hear some karaoke action happening. suddenly i'm reminded of the shoryuken forum rankings. if people rate your posts down enough, the forum automatically ranks you with status ranking blurbs like "asshole_neighbor is at strike 1", "asshole_neighbor is at strike 2", etc. this guy is now at "asshole_neighbor needs to go die in a fire." makes some sense for me to be reminded of that, cuz he's a firefighter (supposedly).
