25 Reasons why the place you live at sucks

1. Upon moving in, you find that the "new fridge" you were supposed to get contains three colors on the inside; white, green and poo brown.
2. You proceed to take 75 pictures of your one bedroom apartment, three of which are of the wasps nest hanging from your balcony.
3. The hot water faucet in your bathroom sink doesn't work (yes, there are two separate faucets in the sink).
4. The bedroom window is rotted and falling off leaking heat and letting bugs in.
5. The fix for said window is glue and a lot of it.
6. The glue is also the fix for the leaky bathtub.
7. There is a drainage ditch behind your house that people fish in. Yes, people fish in the drainage ditch.
8. People also make their dogs fetch sticks from the drainage ditch.
9. Before said drainage ditch fills with water, the city sets the ditch on fire to burn up the trash and dead leaves.
10. Your neighbors fight. A lot.
11. You can hear every word of the fights because the walls are roughly three feet thick and most likely hallow.
12. You get sick from the not cleaned carpets of your apartment and the various forms of smoke that emanate through the vents from your neighbors apartments within the first month.
13. Your house is located between a laundromat and a Mexican food restaurant.
14. There is a pack of feral cats who live behind your house.
15. Said cats don't leave because someone keeps feeding them Chinese food.
16. You notice one of your neighbors with a newly bandaged wrist after the fight you heard the following morning.
17. You wake up at 6:30 every morning to either a garbage truck, police siren, fire truck someone yelling or all four.
18. Even though your apartment is on the top story, there is still a weird slope to the floor.
19. You have more closet space than bedroom space.
20. The ceiling in the living room slopes, but no other ceilings do.
21. Your stove and oven knobs have no numbers on them causing you to either burn or undercook everything.
22. Even with all the windows open (only one of which contains a screen), your apartment still feels like you are living on the inside of oven.
23. Another pack of feral cats lives in your hallway at night.
24. There is a CO2 detector sitting on the counter in your kitchen with the battery removed that you notice upon move in.
25. People don't believe you when you tell them you live between a laundromat and mexican food restaurant and always remark, "You really do live between a restaurant and a laundromat!" because that's something you'd lie about.

God, I can't wait to move.

Changes coming

This blog is retarded. Wait, I'm sorry. That's an offensive word. Ok, let's try again. This blog is pointless. Originally started as a vehicle to let me write and speak my thoughts after a very stupid situation and I think for the most part I've been able to do that. However, three years is quite some time and my lack of enthusiasm for this blog lately has only exacerbated my feelings of pointlessness. I imagine I'll still keep it up if there is anything at all I want to talk about, but I get better responses on facebook than I do here. So, pretty soon this blog site will become another graveyard to my attempts of being legitimate on the internet.

However, with this realization of mine, I also recognized that I have written about music more than anything lately and with recent attempts at not getting any work writing about music on the interwebs, a friend and myself have decided to start a metal blog site similar in scope (if not style) to metalsucks and metalinjection. So, pretty soon I'll post a link and you all can start reading my thoughts and reviews on metal music in an appropriate venue. Until that time, keep checking, I might get fired and have to write about it.

Your Sunday dose of wandering internet fingers

Sunday is the day of rest (except for us heathens who decide to tell our bosses that we can work on this holiest of holy days) and as such there are no new thoughts to express. Except that I found a video of Skunk Anansie performing live and it made me think of this video. So good!

Sevendust-Licking Cream (feat. Skin from Skunk Anansie)


Also, my girlfriends dog got shaved and now looks like a sheep. So here is a herd of sheep for you all to enjoy. Especially you heathens. Happy Sunday!
