My new place is by far the loudest place I've lived in, by a very long shot. Not even N's old place in Philly was this loud with vehicles, and so shouty with people at night. Never did I think, did I imagine I'd get to live in the freakin' heart of all action. Nor did I consider the possibility that the heart is a noisy place, there's hundreds of merrimakers coming around till very late in the night four days of the weekend shouting and calling each other's names, pissing out of your doorstep, and cars and ambulance, firetrucks and copcars rushing around every fifteen minutes like there was a goddamn earthquake tsunami forest-fire and heatwave all happening at the same time in eight corners of the city, and for some reason they all had to go through the exact intersection my apartment happens to face. I don't mind, the city services are good, the fact that people are having fun means it's a lively thriving city, but oh man, this was not a part of the plan. Unclear how in the upcoming days the pars are going to make through it. Which reminds me, I might be gone August through November, so don't be confused, shocked, sad or aroused when no posts appear here for three months, and then a massive barrage of writings again, suddenly. Because I'll probably not be able to conjure up the energy, motivation, or the patience to write for twenty minutes without being disturbed or being asked if what I'm doing is for work or other things.
In any case, yeah sleep has been hard, kinda, so putting something on the phone has turned out to be of utmost importance. Might need to get a noise-generating machine if it comes down to that, with which I have zero problems, it's a funny thing no, that you have to distract your body from loud traffic noises with even louder but much rambler topics. That's the nature of life, you gotta accept your place in it.
Unless, you want to get out on a bank, and say something. And trust me that might not be the ideal situation, as you will not have had a good reading of your audience. So just go with the flow, without causing too much trouble, and when push comes to shove and your are put in a place to make decisions that would not be the most idea for somebody in your circumstances, make the jump into something better. No crying controlling, confused about your future prospective.
