I didn't buy the dog, so why is my Quality of Life Compromised?

I stayed home today.
The body is way-out-of whack!
Neck, spine, and shoulders are stiff and fatigued.

My robotic massage chair isn't doing the trick.
...and YES!... I do own a robotic human touch massage chair....going on 3 years now...I must share the experiences of owning one...
...but later, I was actually on to something.

Oh yeah....

Fatigued and exasperated by the stank'n bows of ....
Acute Stress!
The cause: Present Living Environment is very disruptive thus causing a decline within my quality of life.

For Christmas 2011, the neighbors across the way in 39** North 2nd Street got a puppy for Christmas.
How did I know?
They let him sit in the window and yammer at everything that walked by.
I thought to myself..."F&*^$# GREAT!!"

A month prior, I received a letter from Caldwell Banker.
It was a notice declaring their ownership of the newly acquired property that I am renting.
GREAT!!..What happen to the little old jewish woman who came to my job to bring over the apartment lease when I found this place?
I didn't even get a phone call from her.
I might've have expected as much, she never came to services as she stated she would.

Soooo, that's two Greats in less than 3 months of each other.

Oh yeah....so what else could possibly funk off a living environment one might ask?
Well hold on to your hats because ....there's another GREAT.

The ass clown who lived on the third floor just above me, moved out.
I had the opportunity to move in, but that would mean another year locked into a place I wasn't too certain that I could take another year of. As of now I've been here almost 2 years come September on month-to-month.

A new ass clown and his plus sized model girlfriend moved into the apartment that I declined on.
Before they were officially moved into the apartment, they threw a party on a monday night @ 2am!
What I dont get is that the site manager's apartment is right next door to this guy...and he said he didn't hear anything. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!

I keep a broom at the entrance of my apartment as going up stairs to ask this ass clown to turn his tv down because it's vibrating my ceiling just doesn't work.
Talk about disrespect.

One nite it was blatantly bad.
I was gonna knock on this guys door but I wanted to see if I could hear from the site managers apartment which was the next door down.
And no doubt it's so freek'n loud I can hear it in the hallway all the way down past his apartment.

The son answered the door. I said, "Yo...wake him up!'....are you hearing this shit? I have to work tomorrow....WTF?!?!"

I came back down the apartment and put my headphones on while I sat on the patio.


Flash forward present day....

The puppy has grown up.
And the neighbors still keep their windows open to let good old puppy bark at everyone and everything.
From as early as 6am til way past midnight I've heard there dogs loud barks echo as they bounce of the four corners of the apartment block that I stay on.

I called the Police a couple of weeks ago.
They showed up on the other side of town, wrong address.
I waited for almost 2 hours for these guys.
When they arrived, I had the site manager come down to vouch for the barking dog issue.

The officers finally made there way over to say something to the renters.
Of course the dogs weren't barking.
But then...."YAMMER YAMMER YAMMER...BARK BARK BARK!!...YAMMER BARKK>>BARKK>>BARKKKKK!"
It was the feeling you get when something has gone terribly wrong with your computer and you finally get the IT Guy to come over but then terrible never happens when he's around..but then it actually does.

Didn't matter.
The officers had an explanation for all the barking.
And left us with that.
Apparently, they cant arrest a dog for being a nuisance or it's owners.
Mind you, the only reason the officers came out was because I told the officer on the phone that I'm trying to prevent something bad from happening if the dog barking doesn't cease.
So call on the peace keepers!!!


I tried to go out on the balcony tonight to enjoy the first cold breeze I've felt in weeks.
It was disruptive by the dog in the window as he viciously barked at the little old white lady
who has been walking her dogs by my apartments for 2 years every night at the same time.
She is now hassled by the dogs barks as she tries to cross the 4 corner intersection.
It's a dangerous street to jay walk.
And the dog barking doesn't make it any worse.

Tonight I yelled out "SHUT THE F**** you stupid dog!!!....SHUT THE F*** UP!!!"

He actually shut up....for about 20 minutes.

20 minutes later "BARK..BARK...BARK YAMMER YAMMER YAMMER....BARK BARK!!"
It wasn't warm enough in my apartment to run the ac.
But the sound of the ac drowns out the barking.
It's either that or turn up the volume on my BOSE speakers that's connected to my cable.
I could watch the Merlin series in Hi-Fi tonight.
But, I dont want to.
I actually want a little peace. With soft yoga music playing in the background on my bluetooth speakers.
Because tonight my body aches.
The stress is high.
My vision is blurry.
I could use a beer but Ralphs was out Rasberry Wheat.

I want to take it easy.
I have to take it easy.
But my quality of life has been compromised.
Maybe I'll make some music to take my mind away from it all.
Yeah...I'm still inspired by the documentary "What Black Men Think"...
Yeah...maybe I'll write a cool catchy song to wake up the sleepers at the wheel.
Seems to be alot of sleeping going on these days.

Tomorrow, I make the call to Animal Control....because it sounds like grown-up puppy dog has given birth to puppies!

JUST GREAT!!

These apartments suck.
This area sucks.
The new landlord sucks
The site manager sucks!

In the last 8 months...
-Water will be shut down tomorrow @ 9am
-Hot Water will be down - Should be back on in the morning...(DIDNT HAPPEN)
-AC failed; Took the new manager 3 months to install a new one.
It was cold winter.
Just in time for Summer, but why is it so loud?
It's either freezing or humid.
Great!

The garbage disposal burst pipes under my sink 2 weeks ago.
It happened on a Thursday night.
It didn't get fixed and I was without use of my sink until the following Wednesday.
The floor was left a mess from the installation.

You cant make this sh** up!

I need a creative/work/live space.

I can not live in another apartment complex.
I have to survey day and night the next area I move into.

I will probably have to pay a little more for the ideal space.
But at this point, I gotta do what I gotta.


Dammmmmnnnn....DaMMMMMMN...>DAMN!!!
