Thought I was gonna have to choke a bitch.... Kris and I get home to our nice little apartment in the middle of nowhere to see this new little notice sticking to our door stating that "Effective immediate! No propane tanks/grills will be allowed on your porch. If one is seen our staff will come in and remove it and you will receive a citation from our local Gestapo".

Now, I'm paranoid enough as is. I already think our country is heading towards the Orwellian 1984, if it's not there already. I was on the brink of starting our own little revolution within the complex. Fine, you don't want me to grill on my porch, you want me to grill 10 feet away from the building. Okay. But having my grill sitting on my porch should not should not constitute being fined and having someone pretty much break into my apartment and steal something that is mine. I mean, what next? If they don't like the size of my TV or the book I'm reading they can come in and take that as well?

Apparently a good majority of people in my complex felt the same way and had been calling in droves. And so did I. They're response?

"After carefully reviewing our community policies, you are allowed to have a grill on your porch, just not a propane tank since someone had one out and exploded on their porch. You will not be fined or have anyone enter your apartment complex to remove your grill. We will be issuing a new statement today to clarify..."

I found that amusing, because almost everyone in my apartment complex has the little hibachi grills or regular sized grills.

Dumbasses.

Hey look! More dumbasses!

KRIS AND I HAVE MADE THE LEAP... into roadrunner! And a new computer! Oh, now it's on. No longer do I have to listen to all my friends talk about online games and music and clips... now I can experience it along with the rest of the world. Who woulda thunk it?

The other day, actually I guess it would have been a little over two weeks ago I went out on my back porch to smoke a cigarette and admire our apartment garden (squash, bell peppers, basil, oregano, blah blah blah) when I notice a guy who's obviously drunk trying to color one of our trees blue with a piece of chalk he stole from a little kid up the way.

Hey, we might not live in the ghetto anymore, but we've still got weird things going on around us.

More to come... now that I can post again!
