PERSECUTION

It has been a rough couple weeks at the office. Apparently my new job description is that of "cleaner", as in the character developed by Luc Besson in La Femme Nikita and further elaborated in Leon (The Professional). I was also asked to take over an account that was being neglected and have managed to turn that into a couple quick and successful launches with the help of my team.

Three weeks of travel in the next 6 will have me feeling a bit like George Clooney's character from Up In The Air. Worst part is that I'll be in Louisiana the week before Mardi Gras and in Texas the week before SXSW. How is that for bad timing?

Just so I can say this post has something to do with Stupid Neighbours, take a look at this recent story from The Toronto Star about a family facing $300 for having a messy back yard.

I don't really have anything to say about this particular post, but I need to blow off some steam.

Recently I moved to a new place in Manhattan. Due to financial constraints, it had to be in Hamilton Heights. The best way to describe this place is "nobody speaks English."

My fucking neighbors completely lack any sort of culture, empathy, or social/emotional intelligence. They BLAST with repetitive Spanish music that I cannot understand how does not manage to destroy their brains.

They are not even kids. They are a couple in their mid to late 30s. This is fucking ridiculous, the apartment shakes when they decide it's dance time. When they don't do that, they watch sports or whatever on TV and the husband makes sure to keep his fucking window open and yell out of it, describing his feelings about different parts of the game.

Sometimes, I wonder if they're even legal here, and ponder trying to figure that out and in such a happy case work towards their deportation back to the hell hole from which they came.

Please, God, Jesus, whoever is out there, kill my neighbors, or at least make them move!!!

I need to blow my some steam. I hate my neighbors. I just bought my first house. It was all good for a couple day and then in the house behind me. seven little yappie dog! They bark all the time and the redneck neighbors will not do anything about it. We have contacted the HOA and they are totally worthless. They have done nothing and I get an attitude when I contact them. It totally sucks! I am just asking for some respect as neighbors, and people. Some people have no respect and I think they like being jerks. It is funny cause they have a small yard and he has a riding lawn mower for less than a quarter acre. Please God help me!
