Simple Things that People Still Cannot Seem to Do
I'm happy I'm leaving this house, happier on some days than on others but still happy. Today or this morning is one of those days. And this may seem like a stupid thing to harp on but I'm going to anyway and you can decide for yourself later.

I share a big house with three other guys. The guy who lives on the top floor is the youngest of us all, still in party mode and all that crap. But does that mean that he can't do something as basically fucking simple as closing the doors in our house? Apparently that's just too much for his over taxed brain to deal with.

This morning, not one but two doors to the outside were open. One on the second floor that leads to the stairs to his room and the front door to our house was left open. Ummm, what in the fuck is wrong with these fucking people? Its not just Scot, its his friends too, none of them seem to be capable of grasping the fact that its cold outside and this isn't a goddamned barn (or any other kind of barn). I've talked with him about it, asked him to be a bit more mindful but nothing seems to penetrate.

I'm happy I'm moving out today. And happy that I don't have to be the one to deal with this ridiculousness anymore. Why complain about high electricity bills when its you who are wasting the heat and leaving lights on all the time. Turning off the cable box and leaving the tv on. Generally being wasteful without regard for the people he lives with. Which just means to me that he has no respect for anyone he lives with. And if I were staying for any longer period than I am, I would tell him he absolutely must get his act together or he's out.

But as it is, I'll leave that to the next administrator when I"m finally off the books here. And that will be a huge weight off my shoulders. As for Scot, he needs to get his head straight and recognize that life is not solely aout fucking and drinking and lifting. Or, if it is then you're missing out on much of life. But then, he's young, maybe he'll figure it out before he's old and bitter and stupid.
