Not really, but nearly. On my frustrating drive home today, I ended up besides an onoxious guy who had a stereo more expensive than his beater truck. He felt it necessary to bring attention to this point, by turning his stereo up, so loud that my car was vibrating. I happened to be right beside this vehicle in my vehicle, with my window open. I looked over to glare at this guy, and he, seemed to have not a care or consideration in the world, and bopped his head to his obnoxious music, while both of his windows were open. I figured I didn't want to hear his music, but I wanted to hear my own, so I turned up my crappy Honda stereo, to just about as loud as it could go. It was definitely so loud that my ears were hurting, but I didn't care. I kind of wanted to prove a point, that not everyone thinks he has the most amazing taste in music. I really had a hard time hearing his music after that...but I think he turned his music off. I'm choosing to take it as a compliment, that he loved my music. Hopefully the rest of the block did too. Anyways, it made my frustrating, traffic filled drive home more bearable.
1/2 the leaves on the trees in my block are in my front yard, and on the street in front of my house.
I went to Rona today to pick up a few things. I think Rona makes people sing. They had music on in there, and I walked by at least 4 people who were audibly singing along with the music. It made me smile. I think all places should endorse people singing loudly along with the music. Wouldn't that be wonderful? (provided everyone could sing on tune!). Also in Rona, I saw some leaf blowers. Seriously, what are those for? Is that why all the leaves are in front of my house? Does it mean that people blow their leaves onto someone else's yard? Is there such a thing as a leaf sucker? Like a vacuum cleaner, except for leaves? I think the leaf blower is hilarious, but honestly probably the stupidest invention ever. What is the point? Does it make raking easier? I don't get it. I considered buying one, just to find out what all the hype was about...but decided to vent about it on my blog instead.
Well my cute husband is home now, so I'll go and chat with him. I'm excited about season premier night tonight, and SERIOUSLY what's going on with Jim & Pam???!!! I'm so excited!

My Ears Are Bleeding

You should be glad he only had his radio turned up loudly. A friend of mine told me a story about her drive home a couple weeks ago that involved the man beside her masterbating on the drive home. Yup, you read that right. Just in his car, stuck in traffic. He was enjoying that people could see.
I have had the same thoughts on leaf blowers. A maintenance man for one of the downtown towers was blowing all the leaves off the sidewalk into the street. What good is that? Now they are free to blow back on to your sidewalk, on to someone else's sidewalk, or just make the streets gross and dirty.
I'm glad I walk home after work to my apartment with no yard to look after.
