You and your music must leave. Now.

Bob Marley- Legend
you play it loud all day long
bought from BMG?

I'm three days into reconnecting with life since taking my final.  In that span of time, I have cleaned the house, Christmas-shopped, made a fabulous Moroccan chicken & couscous soup, ran 8.5 miles and today, the depth of my hatred for my socially inept and foul-mouthed neighbor plunged to a new, unprecedented low.  This afternoon, he decided to play my absolute total favorites, Bob Marley and John Mayer, so loud that it was shaking the pictures on my wall, making the walls audibly vibrate and could be heard from every corner of MY house.  After throwing a sandal, my shoe, and then winding up and kicking the wall... I finally decided to go over and tell him how annoying he was.  He answered the door with his toddler running buckwild in the background, a beer in hand and Bob chanting down Babylon for all of north San Clemente to hear.  I told him, "Yeah, I live next door and..." and he interrupted me and said, "Aww, sorry is my music too loud, like shaking the wall and stuff?"  

Seriously, who ARE you???  

Out of all the signs of your music being too loud, it took me coming over and uttering the first clause of a sentence for it to register?  Not only am I now utterly convinced the guy is a douchebag, he's an idiot- when your neighbor comes over to tell you just how loud you're being and you cut them off and ask if you're being too loud (thereby hitting the nail square on the head), that's either guilt or intent.  Or total stupidity. 

Since I have lot of time on my hands, rather than brushing up on my cardiac dysrhythmias, I'm writing haiku.  In honor of my crap for brains neighbor.

Waiting on the world
and your defunct hearing sense
to change, work again
(I've now heard this song three times this afternoon.  Three.)

Thank you for ruining
the best band in the world for
me, Led Zeppelin, sad

Every rose has its
thorn, shockingly I do too
it's you and your life

Ah, smells like brushfire
are the hills burning again?
no, it's your grill... again

And yes, I am 12.  Thank you for wondering.

I heard the fight last
night, lots of f-words were said
need better vocab

Thanks for taking charge
when the car crash woke all up
but it was wrapped up...

BEFORE YOU GOT THERE!!!!!!!!

I knew you'd appreciate them. You were in the corner of my mind, looking over my shoulder while I wrote those. ;)

I can remember
When our neighbors were cordial,
Didn't hate our guts.

When the problem's noise,
Fight fire with more fire:
Lots of Wolfmother!

Wife is without school,
Too much time she has for now.
Needs to go outside.

They don't hate us, they're just sheepish now.

And I do go outside. You're mean. ;)
