i know a lot of people who live in the city and they are always talking about how lucky i am because i live in the country and can have peace and quite… well i’ll just say, there is no such thing as peace and quiet. case in point, i was awoken to gunshots this morning. no not someone shooting someone, but some stupid person next door shooting a gun over and over and over again. not just bang bang they’re done. but several times over and over, rapid fire. i honestly cannot find the fun in this sort of thing… yes ok you are proud you have a gun.. or ok you are a gun collector and enjoy shooting things. but ffs, go to a shooting range. standing in your yard shooting a gun at nothing for 2 or 3 hours is ridiculous and so fucking annoying to those of us who don’t wake up at 9am on the dot.

to top it off, the gunfire always starts up a chain of dogs barking all around us. the closest of these dogs is not far from my bedroom window and it has the most annoying bark i have ever heard come out of a dog ever… after all the dogs are started up, someone almost always goes up and down the road and around the back pond several times on their 4-wheeler making sure to kick up even more noise pollution.

so no, its not peaceful here… its definitely not quiet. don’t envy living in the country, at least in the city you can get to places without driving half an hour.
