No.

Who knows. Look how long Ricky Henderson was able to stick around. Somehow I doubt Bonds is willing to beg like he was, though.

So, I've finally figured out who in the f*ck is the loudmouth in my neighborhood. Here, I was blaming the (apparently) former bad kid (and by bad, I mean it was loud, and his friends were high, drunk, and puking in the streets until something happened and it all stopped) who lives across the street and one house over. It seems that it's actually the relatively good teen next door. Now that he and his buddies are all 16 and able to go places, they're across the street, in the house, upstairs... playing Xbox, or Wii, or who knows. But that's all.. They're screaming about video games until midnight. I have a feeling it's only so loud for me because the window is directly across the street.

I would be pissed if I had to wake up early.. which I kind of do...

Oooo....that would be my house before, b.e.!!

All the gang would hang out in my sons room and he just had to have the window open!!

I told him that it had to stop, even though we never had complaints.

But, then they complain {the family, not the neighbors} about my music while I am working out. I tell them that I don't play it past 11...much...

Sorry it bugs. People get so excited playing those games....

So far no jury duty, but a secondary set of groups was called for today, so tomorrow my number may be up.

Happy hump day! Make of that what you will Kevy.

The thing is, I totally understand - I'm a gamer, too! I don't even think they're being that loud - it just happens to be that the TV is just under the window in that room, and the window is wide open during the winter. If they moved the tele, problem would be solved. Then again, it might not be as cool of a gaming room.

If I went to a different room, I'd have problems with the neighbors to the back, who aren't playing games, but are in the backyard fighting. The thing that sucks about summer months is that people tend to take their problems outside, because... you know... it's so nice out.

LOL Oh, they may not be loud 100% of the time but I bet their random shouting is.

We have two phone lines and I would call him from my bed and tell him to make his friends keep it down!!! One guy, poor guy, he just had a deep baratone voice and just talking was loud.

Now my son in law has a PS3 and he yells at the game, cursing too {is that corny, cursing?}. I told him to cut it out as I didn't want to hear it but moreso, the neighbors shouldn't. Funny but our houses face one another slightly as we live on a court. So, yea, open windows suck.

And, I have a sad story. A young man at work passed away on Saturday night. He was in the back seat of a car that lost control {I don't know if they were speeding, but actually, the speed limit is 50 there} when it swerved not to hit a bunny. He died and the other boy in the back seat may not make it. Really hit me hard, he was really a very nice young man, always friendly, always smiling.

I told my son that it was a miracle that his friends survived the accident they were in coming home from Arizona recently. They were going at least 90mph when the guy looked down and when he looked up he was heading into a big truck. He swerved, lost control and rolled his car 5 or 6 times. Amazingly, they all got out of the car and stood there able to see the wreckage. One friend, who remembers his head hitting the roof a few times, had a concussion and another guy broke an arm. Amazing. I asked them when I saw them 'Am I looking at ghosts?'

I told my son to tell his friend I am glad he is alive but my son is never going on road trips with them.

Rickey Henderson is the greatest ballplayer of all time (look it up). Barry Bonds couldn't carry Rickey's jock.
