born to ramble/somewhere i belong
'meteora' keeps jumping back into my cd player. which is cool. i don't play it too loud though...between the noisy guitars and chester's screaming...i don't think that would be very neighborly of me.
speaking of neighborly,i'm glad i did 'the right thing' and wrote a non-nasty note to my neighbors about their barking dogs...haven't heard them at all this week,so maybe they actually didnt realize how bad the dogs were. i don't know if they're having someone take care of their dogs or what,but it's cool that they responded and did something. though maybe i shouldn't be counting my chickens.
speaking of noise levels,maybe i SHOULD have gotten up really early and put on 'meteora' really loud...here's the deal:
i went to bed at my usual 2 a.m. i was awakened at 6:45 by someone's loud music. i could mostly hear the bass,which is actually more annoying than hearing the whole thing...that's why i hate those car stereos that have such heavy bass and it makes me feel nauseated. i remember once standing in front of someone's bass amp and feeling it in my collarbone...ouch. weird. yeah,sound is powerful. just dont' use it as a weapon. well,unless you're a teenager you're supposed to annoy your parents. i can see linkin park being excellent for that. i probably wouldn't like it if i had a kid cranking it loud.ha.
anyway,where was i?
[aside: how often do you hear 'clarity' in a rock song? that's one of my favorite words. it's in 'breaking the habit'. cool.]
so,anyway,i just kept hearing this thump,thump,thump and was hoping whoever it was was going to leave for work soon and it would stop. finally,around 8 at was just starting to fall back asleep in spite of it...when the street cleaner thingie stormed into action.arghhhh! so i had a morning of the landscape crew making lots of noise,mostly underneath my window. they always seem to spend hours specificly under my window. it's a conspiracy,i tell ya. actually i was thinking it might be because the a/c units are below my window and it takes longer to clean around them. whatever.
at some between 8 and 11 in spite of the noise,i fell back asleep and had miserable dreams! ha. i dreamt that my sister sara moved in with me and managed to stop up all the drains! ha. i'm always fighting the drains here. got to be careful to not get hair in the sink,and i decided i should probably comb my hair before i shower so it doesn't clog the drain while i'm showering. which is more than anyone cares to know,i'm sure! i decided the dream and the fact that clogged and slow drains are my nemesis means my chi is stuck. hmmm...i wonder if there's any way to get your chi unstuck besides acupuncture? i think acupressure does it. maybe tai chi does. ha. i got a book called tai chi and qui gong (sp? i dont think spellcheck's gonna help with that one) for dummies but never got around to practicing it. i have my own type of dancing which is a cross between tai chi and irish dancing. i've actually developed pretty good balance from this. at least i think so. maybe everyone can stand on one leg for a certain period of time without falling over. whatever. i have fun. and i'm sure i look silly...but i'm only leaping around in the privacy of mymansion rented condo. on the other hand,maybe i look incredibly graceful and dont' know it. maybe i'm really a swan! after all,amazingly enough,gracie(ha! gracie! how cosmic! how...graceful...!) the the beanie baby swan and i have the same exact birthday! too many exclamation points,i know!!! i love being hyper!!!
totally unrelated,but this morning before i got out of bed i decided i should look for a job in a college library. better yet, a catholic college library. catholics are pretty liberal,so i think they'd have some comparitive religion studies. and i'd like the god emphasis. i don't think i'd wanted to work at,say,bob jones university. i've only heard of it because i went through a fundamentalist christian phase not long after i graduated college and was feeling sort of lost. i was studying with this bible group and one day it was really really hot (this was in 1980 when a/c was hardly as ubiquitious as it thankfully is today) and i called and said i wasn't going to make it because it was just too hot. and they said 'that's the devil trying to keep you from your bible studies'. well,that did it. i tend to be gullible up to a point,but come on...that was the end of my affiliaton with them. i'm not saying there isn't evil in the world,but i just dont think it was the devil keeping me from bible studies. as it turns out,this group i had joined up with had a lot of characteristics of a cult. i paid $200 for a few weeks of bible study,and way back then it was a lot of money.
anyhoo. of course i'm scribbling here...in a manner of speaking...and i haven't even eaten lunch and if i want to be to work on time,i have to leave here at 2. i think i might be a bit late though. oh,well. if i'm late,i save them money on payroll. i work independently so i don't really inconvenience anyone else...as long as i get my job done.
i think i'm going to get 'hybrid theory' today because i really like 'meteora.'
