Problem with the neighbors

As you might have surmised from the title, I am having a problem with my neighbors. At least, I think I am. I dunno, I am not even sure if I even have neighbors, but there are houses on both sides of mine and, more often than I care to discover, that means people.

The problem I am having with my neighbors, if they, in fact, exist, is the idea that they are potentially always right fucking there. If I want to have a cookout — BOOM! — they could be there smelling my food. If I want to back out of my driveway without looking — BOOM!– possibly there creating a road hazard. If I want to step out into my own goddamn backyard and urinate under the stars (the way the mighty Jah intended, I might add), I have to swivel my head around like I am telling a dirty joke first to make sure the coast is clear. It’s like I am living in a prison.

The comforts of home can no longer be appreciated. I must take to the road to seek adventure and misery, thus making me appreciate that which I no longer have and allowing me to tolerate these intrusive bastards (should they turn out to actually be real) for another term.

The road beckons. Soon I will away.

    I’m not sure how to fan up on this stuff, but I’m in! I read each word and I’ll eagerly wait for the next ones to land.

    Some celebrity suggestions for your van:
    “Curt” Vannegut? Because he’s brilliant too…
    Van Diesel? ‘Cuz you’re badass. Prob already been used.
    Tommy Cruise.
    Morvan Freeman.
    Willie Nelsvan…you’re on the road.
    Tommy Petty…you’re snarky but you’re free fallin’

    And of course there’s “Tommy the Swami’s Van…with Michelle Long,” which should be painted right under the enormous painting of Michelle in a Farrah Fawcett pose on the sliding door.

    Can’t wait to hear more!
