One glorious evening not too long ago, I pull up to my desk as my s.o. and the roommates sleep, in hopes of getting work done. The time was nearing 11 p.m. So NATURALLY this is the time for the neighbor to start blasting his stereo! Hooray!
At first I sit there, attempting to listen to some low, soothing music, then I try the television hoping the voices will distract me. Eventually I try silence and strict concentration on my work but nothing works; all I hear is the pounding. By now it is almost 12:30 a.m.
Bubbling with rage, I slam my fist into the wall that divides my deaf neighbor and myself several times. Dipshit responds by pounding back and so I do the same. Yeah, motherfucker you won't out-pound me! This is followed by sounds of his door opening and me seeing a shadow breeze by my window.
I jump out of my seat so ready to take on this dickhead, and as I fly out of my room my s.o. follows. Dickhead knocks on my door and angrily complains to me that I (pause for deep breath)... I HAVE WOKEN HIM UP. Apparently the way to relax and get a good night's rest in the land of Dickheadiashire is to fucking BLAST your stereo and make sure the bass is turned way up. Oh and, hell's bells, there's a language barrier!! Whee!!
He complains that I have woken him up...
"I have to work early in the mornin'! Ya feel me?"
"Do YOU FEEL ME when I tell you that it's past midnight and all I hear is YOUR FUCKING BASS POUNDING THROUGH MY WALL? I don't even hear your music!!"
"You woke me up!"
This is the point where I roll my eyes and realize that I might as well be speaking to the wall as dickhead clearly does not understand what the FUCK I am telling him. My s.o. then simulates the sound we are hearing by pounding their fist on the nearest wall and follows with an explanation. Eventually I ask him if we can be respectful neighbors and if he could just turn down his bass everything would be fine. He seems to agree to this (I hope and pray) and agrees to keep the bass down.
Oh and for the past week starting at promptly ten o'clock every night, yeah, I get to hear bass. God I'm an asshole.

Stupid Pet Owners - "We're too special to obey local ordinances" Edition
Dear residents of my street,
Our town has ordinances in place that require you to leash and to clean up after your dog. That means you, woman with the evil Shih Tzu, can't let your dog crap all over the well-manicured lawn of that doctor's office, even though you earn brownie points for being the only person on this street (other than me) who leashes her dog. That also means the rest of you need to hit up a pet store and invest in a leash, stat. Especially you, man with the dog-aggressive Labradoodle. I don't know who in their right mind would walk even the most well-behaved dog down our busy street without a leash. Your dog, who decided to run into my yard and tried to attack my LEASHED puppy, and who ignored your pathetic recall pleas, is in dire need of said leash. Thank the deity in which I don't believe that my pup was still small enough to pick up. Next time this happens, and I'm assuming it will because you're obviously an irresponsible moron, the police will be called. Oh, and here's a clue: when your vicious dog refuses to listen to you and is trying to attack a small puppy and its owner, THAT would be the time to leave the sidewalk and physically retrieve your dog. Don't fucking stand there yelling for your dog when it's obviously not paying attention to you. God, I love this neighborhood, but I HATE the fucking tools that live here.
No love for any of you,
J.
P.S. If you're going to leash your dog on a Flexi-leash, PLEASE learn how to use it properly. There are stops and locks on those leashes for a reason -- use them.

Stupid Pet Owners - "I can't believe you have kids let alone pets" Edition
OHMYGOD. Since when is it ever a good idea to tie your 3-month-old puppy out in your yard, unsupervised and without water or shade, on a humid 90+ degree day? On a cheap nylon lead obviously not made for tie-out, no less. On a lead long enough that, not only can the puppy reach the sidewalk (either in danger from or a danger to passersby, human or not), but it can sail off the rocky hill of your property line and hang itself. I'm glad I was there to save your dog from breaking its own neck. And you have kids? Jeez. I wonder if they -- or this dog -- will survive to adulthood. Fucking wow.

Stupid Pet Owners & Unsolicited Advice
Dear lady across the street,
Yes, I know my puppy is hyper. SHE'S A PUPPY. THEY HAVE ENERGY. Hence the fucking reason I'm outside walking her in the first place -- to drain her of energy! Yes, I know she jumps. She's not being aggressive -- she just loves people a little too much. Yes, we're training her out of it -- and as with everything, it takes time. Puppies aren't born with the manners required to live with humans -- they need to be taught. No, I'm not paying fucking Petsmart to train her, because she's my sixth dog and I think I know what I'm doing by now. Obviously, because in the two months we've had her, she's crate-trained, house-broken, knows her basic obedience commands, is usually pretty good on a leash, has a good idea of what to chew on and what's off-limits (impressive for a teething puppy), and is learning not to bark unnecessarily. Oh yeah, and she IS showing progress with not jumping on people. Of course, you're not helping matters by petting her when she jumps. If you're such a fucking expert in dog training, you should know not to reward unwanted behavior with praise, i.e. petting. But what the fuck do I know.
Fuck you and PUT YOUR VICIOUS LITTLE PURSE DOG ON A LEASH PLEASE.
No love,
J.
P.S. No, prong collars are NOT cruel and in fact are very effective, humane training tools -- when used correctly. For the last friggin time, I know what I'm doing with my dog, so please SHUT IT.

Stupid Pet Owners - The First of an Ongoing Series
Say your two dogs get out of your fenced yard. Say they end up in your neighbor's yard, about a half-mile down the road. Say your neighbor is nice enough to go catch your dogs, leash them, check their tags for owner info, and call you to say that he has them. Your response would -- should -- be, "Thank you so much! I'll be over ASAP to get them!" Well, you'd be the asshole for thinking so.
Two dogs ended up in my parents' yard not that long ago. My father, after catching & leashing the dogs, contacted the owner, and instead of being grateful and rushing over to retrieve his beloved canines, he says this:
"I'm having a party at my house right now. I'll be over later tonight to get them."
Because obviously my father has nothing better to do than wait HOURS for this asshole to schedule the five minutes required for picking up his pets into his busy social calendar. One can hardly blame my father for telling the man that he had exactly a half-hour to pick up his dogs before the local SPCA was called. I guess an intolerance for true assholes runs in the family.

Not-so-common sense
The fact that someone had to publish a list titled "17 Ways To Not Be a Complete Git" speaks volumes about the state of society. The fact that I want to print it out, make about 100 photocopies, and start handing them out to deserving recipients throughout the course of my typical day says even more. Curse my parents for raising me with any shred of common sense and common decency. It seems trying NOT to be the asshole does indeed make me the asshole.

Sorry Motherfucker.
Dear Douchebag at the end of the walk:
You are a total dick. Not only are you a lousy human being and all-around asshat but now you want to throw a helpless kitten out into the blazing hot pre-summer sun without food and water? Of course she has fleas, you shithead, you threw her outside unprotected. Perhaps if you'd take her back into the house and took care of her this wouldn't be the case. Also, for the 50th time I CAN NOT take in your fucking cat. Not only is she your fucking responsibility but I cannot own an animal. It's bad enough my roommate has to provide the poor, neglected animal with food and water, you should be ashamed of yourself. Next time you feel the desire to talk shit about me behind my back, make sure I'm actually in the house and not standing right in the doorway with my door wide open. I don't dig injustice. Stop trying me. I will box.
Sincerely, m.
P.S.
I hope your balls shrivel and die. It's the least you deserve for viciously stepping on her tail you son of a sloppy slut.

Negative Reinforcement
Perhaps I imagined the whole thing but seems to me there used to be a time where it was the normal thing to reward those who did good. Nowadays we seem to be encouraging people to stop giving a fuck about themselves and be the worst people they can. I need not explain this in too much detail seeing as how if you've read any part of this blog you already know how I'm feeling about the decline of self respect and so on and so forth.
I really should have known better than to watch Dr. Phil with my roommates as I consider him to be an extension of the now-dead-to-me-after-meaning-less-than-zero-to-me Oprah, but today's topic was interesting to me as I sadly know many who live the same as his guest. Here's how Dr. Phil.com describes today's topic:
"Throw It Out!"
Do you know people who are constantly in a clutter crisis? They keep newspapers, magazines, old clothes and junk thinking those items could be useful one day. Dr. Phil goes into the minds of extreme hoarders who are embarrassing their families and destroying their homes.
The woman featured on the show today owns two homes and rents a storage unit filled with clutter and things she refuses to throw away up to and including rotting food in several freezers and refrigerators. Every day she shops for more, more items, more food (which she then stores with the rotting food), more everything while never throwing any of it away. She is forcing her three children to live this way, becoming combative when anyone (including the children & her boyfriend) tries to throw something out or suggest that her lifestyle is unhealthy and hazardous. Turns out she and her boyfriend are also heavy drinkers with a pretty lousy relationship and this woman also loves to make a habit of driving her children around while drunk.
I was less than surprised when Dr. Phil exploited her lifestyle in lieu of actually attempting to help her but I was so done when he says at the end of the show that he won't do anything because she has to do things for herself, while I agree with that, I fail to understand why he then continued to bring out a representative from Lowe's to offer her a complete kitchen make-over including new cabinets and a refrigerator when she decides to finally clean her house. WTF is that?? Let me tell you something, I and many other people clean their homes on a daily basis and there isn't one mother fucker knocking on my door to reward me for doing so. You fail again, world. Fucking fail.

Spread Your Legs and Make a Choice
While viewing my beloved Jon & Kate + 8 I see this commercial for a new show coming a little too close for comfort: The Secret Life of a Soccer Mom. Sigh... now I feel the need to vomit. Seriously, humanity, what is the deal?
For some time now I have been frustrated with the bum rap of which many children are on the receiving end and like many things in our culture and society, this shit is out of hand. I think it's horribly sad that we have reached the point where a woman going to her friends and/or family and sputtering the words "I am pregnant" has to be met with a pause in which to determine if this is good or bad news (let's not include the obvious exceptions to this rule, we live in reality, not up our asses). This should always be good news, but thanks to overpopulation, careless fucking & bed-hopping, children trying to live the lives of adults and countless other reasons why having a baby is a bad reason (but it happens anyway) in our fucked up society, this is also unavoidable. Tragic.
There used to be a time, no, not a perfect time, but a time where life was precious and the renewing of itself was a joyous event. This was also in a time where little options and knowledge were available. However, today we are not without options or power in life and I'm just a tad weary of the attitude that you don't have to stick by your choices and fuck this and fuck that do whatever the fuck you want we'll find a way around it, learn no lessons, don't bother with thinking about the consequences of shit. Mankind adores finding new ways to exist outside of nature, this also includes inventing ways to wriggle out of your choices and/or justify being a flake.
This is where we come to what bothers me about this damn show. In our modern world we know a woman is capable of pretty much anything, and many acknowledge (if they were not already aware of the fact) they can have sex, vote, build a career, collect little gold-digging boys or girls of her own, dance for money or in some places sell her body and make a good living from it... legally, like it or not. Once again, there was a time when it was thought that women could only keep house and pop out babies... an imperfect time that I was pretty sure we were all aware of had come and gone (could be minority sense again). So, exactly where does this show get off and who are these bitches and why are they being encouraged???
When I saw this commercial only one question came to mind and I was then presented with this question when I brought it to the attention of J (the point of it being): If your life plan did not include devoting your time to raising a family, why did you fucking have children? Get knowledge from parents, video games, books, magazines, reality shows, friends, bathroom walls, whatever but by now are we not aware that things exist such as condoms, abortions, adoption, or abstinence even? I mean for goodness sake you can even drop off your baby at a police station, firehouse or church in the middle of the night and walk away if you were so inclined. Let's say you can't do any of these things because... because DUH, all right, congratulations on bringing someone who never asked to exist into your miserable ass world. How about now taking responsibility for your choice and doing what is required of a parent: live for that child and put it's needs before yours and raise it to be the best whatever it can be. Somehow, many humans seem to have lost this animal instinct and how fair is that to the child? "Yes, sweetheart, you're cool and all but I'd much rather be running my very own male brothel on a far-off island."
I never understood the appeal of having a child when you didn't want it... what is that? J wants to know where the show for men who wanted to pursue their dreams has run off to and I just want to know why once again people are being awarded for making poor choices. Hey TLC, instead of mimicking the government and giving special attention to some random woman who popped out a baby (as opposed to maybe awarding those come tax time for not upping our over-populated planet), how about a show where a young person who has sacrificed their own lives to basically raise their younger siblings because their parent(s), so distraught over the fact that they had kids and never wanted them, is off fucking up? How about a show for a person who is not living up to their potential (artistically or academically or what have you) because their family simply can't afford it or they have no family to encourage and support them? And what about a show where the many people who put love and/or family on hold (YES this, too, can be a downside) to earn degrees, perhaps even to ensure a better quality of life for the family they hope to some day build (or even for their own personal enrichment), and to this day are still unemployed or busting their asses through lower-paying jobs to fulfill their responsibilities? Soccer moms are usually on the higher-end of the stay-at-home mom scale, living in the suburbs, driving mini-vans and can actually afford gas money to drive their kids to soccer where they can also afford the uniform and other expenses. You know how many moms ride the bus, need to work and in some cases still go to school? Don't ask me to feel sorry for these bitches.
Enough American Idol & Jerry Springer America. Might we move on to better things and more respectable role models? Can we please do some real good and award those who struggled to make better, sometimes harder choices? Also, can we stop raising children as children would, creating these little monsters that no one likes to be around? It upsets me when I can look at the way a child is behaving or speaking and feel no remorse in thinking (s)he's an asshole. (This rant also brings attention to the fact that maybe having less unwanted children around would make us see their innocence, give us time to really care for those that are around as we should and appreciate them more). And maybe we need to stop falling for the helpless mother routine, not all pregnant women fit this description; sadly, many women are trying to earn another monthly check, force their way into the life of a man who does not want them (good luck with that, ladies), get attention or view their baby as a fun and expensive toy to play with until it seems like work, never stopping to think (as J pointed out:) it is not returnable.
Why should choosing to raise a family be the worst choice a person can possibly make? So much to the point they are pitied and looked down upon? And if you want both, you want two lives, go ahead, work at them both, a person can do anything they put their mind to.
Like a good friend, TLC, I enjoy your company and entertainment but I just plain don't like this new friend you've made. As your friend, TLC, I advise you stick to teaching and encouraging better things not... don't worry about the choices you make, go ahead and insult your family, magically things will happen and you get to be on TV.

Manners & Housekeeping Tips from Planet Fucktard
Okay, call me an asshole, but on what planet... in what world... in what sort of universe does it say that it's perfectly acceptable to not only leave all of your dirty ass dishes overflowing from the sink on to the counters and even the stove for days on end, but also (in the middle of said situation when you are left without dishes and utensils with which to eat/cook) go ahead and use up your roommate's pots, pans, forks, spoons, etc. leaving them with none and creating yet an even larger mess? Someone-- anyone please explain.
Every weekend it's the same thing : the roommates can't be bothered to clean because it's the weekend and DUH. And of course there's always those lovely days (which we all have) during the week when they just don't wanna clean or don't have the energy. Let me break something to you people: no one likes to clean, okay? It's simply something that must be done for many reasons and, while tidying up or keeping the home clean is definitely a job in itself, it still has to be done every day, each time there is a mess. Let me tell you something else : "I like to clean little by little as I go along to avoid cleaning up a much larger mess in the end," does not nor will it ever equal:
-leaving the tub of margarine on the counter for 5 hours, passing it 20 times as you go back and forth from the television / computer to get drinks & snacks and ignoring it as it melts and goes bad.
-letting the trash build up so much that you take out a second bag for the overflow, and then tossing that bag up against the trash can making the kitchen an even bigger and more crowded mess.
-having a collection of empty water bottles, soda cans & wrappers piled up on the coffee table never minding the fact that you could probably grab the old one when you go for the new one.
-leaving splatters of unused toothpaste on the sinks edge and rim to dry and crust despite the fact that the sink is beige and the toothpaste is bright neon blue-green -- I KNOW YOU SEE THAT SHIT, BITCHES.
-or changing the filter for the air conditioner and leaving the old one propped up against the unit's door in the middle of the hallway.
So please stop your bullshit and lies or explain to me the backwardness of your lazy, dirty ass culture.
Every weekend it's the same thing : the roommates can't be bothered to clean because it's the weekend and DUH. And of course there's always those lovely days (which we all have) during the week when they just don't wanna clean or don't have the energy. Let me break something to you people: no one likes to clean, okay? It's simply something that must be done for many reasons and, while tidying up or keeping the home clean is definitely a job in itself, it still has to be done every day, each time there is a mess. Let me tell you something else : "I like to clean little by little as I go along to avoid cleaning up a much larger mess in the end," does not nor will it ever equal:
-leaving the tub of margarine on the counter for 5 hours, passing it 20 times as you go back and forth from the television / computer to get drinks & snacks and ignoring it as it melts and goes bad.
