Blast It
Ever since I got home tonight from the bon-fire, the family downstairs has been screaming at each other. I've blogged TWICE tonight already, but I figured that since I have to go do something, you should all come along.Anyway, the people downstairs are having this HUGE knock-down, drag out, slam all the doors, throw the china at each other fight.
They happen to be my landlord and his kids and wife.
There are four girls living in two apartments - each one 10 ft wide by 12 or 15 feet wide. Not large to any extent.
In any case, right now they're screaming - and I mean SCREAMING at each other. And they're all over the age of 21. Does logic and reason ever show up to these people?
I haven't had a knock-down drag out fight with my sister since highschool. And the last fight was her insisting that I was the greatest, and me insisting that I was too.
Traditionally, out of respect for my neighbors, I keep my $600 computer surround sound system turned off after 10 pm. They've never asked me to do that, I just do it to be nice. I have a Klipsch ProMedia Ultra 5.1 Surround Sound system. Not only is it the most amazing set of speakers that I have ever heard, but the core part of it is a 12" 1000 watt subwoofer under my desk that makes everything shake if I turn it up.
So, as they're fighting downstairs STILL, I've decided to drown them out and listen to my stereo.
I just turned on "Why Can't We Be Friends", and I'm playing it so loud that my empty Wendy's cup is vibrating off my desk. My windows are actually rattling.
Pause.
Yup, still screaming at each other.
Play.
You know, this really is a great song... I really like the inept cord progressions and sloppy playing skills...
Pause.
Ooh...they stopp-wait. Nope! Still yelling!
Play.
This second chorus is great. More singers come in. It sounds like it was recorded at a drunken Frat party.
Pause.
Ah...silence.
(taps fingers) Yup. They seem to have stopped.
Time to go to bed. But, I'll leave the computer on. Just in case the brawlers downstairs get frisky again.

arguing that you were the greatest? Either you were dreaming or I was having a nightmare.
What? No, really. I remember it!
You were like "Jeremiah, you are totally the greatest!" and I was like "I know it" and then you were like "NO - you don't understand! You are the GREATEST!"
It was a terrible fight. Stop drudging up these painful memories.
I could never understand why people fight like that. Thats how my family fights...I'm the exception. I just let things go and come back to it when everyone has a cool head.
Great song choice..maybe they heard it and decided to listen to the message?
Nope. They didn't listen...
you were obviously on drugs that day
