Don't you hate it when...

So I hate it when our power goes out.... We have a generator, but it has been on the fritz since mid-winter, and for example today, we had no power for a good portion of the day....

The only plus side being that I get to pretend I'm Robert Muldoon and bitch about the raptor fences being off as well.

So what do you hate SE++


or alternatively please supply a dissertation on Why and just how awesome the character of Robert Muldoon really is.

    we live in a society that has no value for silence, darkness or emptiness

    and that's a shame

    we're always striving to brighten, to make loud, to fill

    when sometimes it is nice to appreciate absence

    I can't even go outside late at night for quiet. There's this goddamn highway bridge over the canal here and it just projects the sound like crazy, especially truck drivers engine braking or whatever causes that god awful KTHUNKTHUNKTHUNKTHUNKTHUNKNRRRRRRRRrrrrrrr noise as they go barreling down the descent.

    So yeah I hate noise. I'd live in a cabin in the woods away from the city if I could. Stars? Aurora Borealis? Sure! Light pollution? Get the fuck out!

    My generator was incredibly loud, it drown out all of the noise in the house no matter where you were. Don't have it anymore, but the grid is slightly more reliable out here.

    The thing I hate the most are the kinds of people who have to fill silence with something.

    If it's silence between two people after one has finished speaking, and one person doesn't like the silence, they'll fill it with something--anything--to make it so there's some sort of sound in that moment.

    I lived in Idaho for a little while once. It was terrible (don't ever go to Idaho).

    Anyway, a lot of people don't know that the majority of Idaho is a fucking desert. So, you could drive about an hour or so out of Boise (where I lived, don't ever go to Idaho), on this two lane road just out to fucking nowhere, pull the car over, and shut off the engine. If it wasn't windy out, you wouldn't hear a fucking sound.

    It's pretty awesome when the loudest thing within forty miles is the sound of your own breathing.

    Having the only sound being your own breathing is kind of a weird feeling. Absolute silence is freaky, there's got to be like, wind or crickets or waves or some shit. Nature sounds.

    I mean, I fall asleep easiest when I can hear rain hitting the roof and not much else.
