I'm Growin' A Pair!!!
My oh my how my life seems to have taken another quantum leap in the past few days!
I think I'm gettin some cahones!! I used to be, not meek per se, but not exactly steel spined. But it seems that since I made the decision to change the path my life was going in, my spine has gotten a little stiffer!
There are new neighbours close to us. We are new, but they are newer. And for the past week they have partied all night into the wee hours. Tonight, I got fed up.
They sat in front of my house, in a truck, drinking and blaring their stereo so loud that it was rattling my windows. Then they started smashing beer bottles on the road, and I can see out my front window that there are about 12 beer bottles on my front lawn. The old me would of sighed, then went to bed and dealt with the aftermath in the morning.
The new me called the cops. And they know it was me. I'm the only house with the lights on and I made sure the saw me on the phone to give them a chance to shut up themselves. I mean, come on, who else am I calling at 3am?
Two cop cars show up...they made the kids dump all their booze, and they searched the truck. They broke up the party at the house near by, searched the garage where they were all drinking. Patted them down, told them to pack it up or arrests were going to be made.
Satisfying.
But then as a cop went to drive away he drove over a pile of broken glass that I didn't think he saw in the first place, it's not too well lit here. Well...those fireworks flew! He got out and checked his tires, then he got really authorative. Never seen people pack up and get the hell out so quick!
Someone is going to have to clean the road in the morning, not sure who, they won't, and my yard is going to have to be cleaned. Plus, I just made mortal enemies with people who I will be living very close to for the next 30 years.
But it felt good. I did something for me. Forget about the consequences(for the time being). I took a step to make my life a little better at the moment.
Now let's just hope they were too blitzed to remember it was me........................
