Announcing... RiffMasters!

Everyone's been busy... Damn, I have drums, bass and guitar, lyrics,... just waiting for a minute when I can record vox tracks without ppl practicing for WWE over my head, juggling, (and DROPPING) every F'IN tool in their tool belt on my head, and for a minute when there isn't someone over here sleeping (gf's son works at night, sleeps all day) ... the struggle is REAL. Haven't had a full night's sleep in over 3 weeks now since the loser upstairs was evicted and an army of sheriffs came stomping through the place to bring all his stuff to the curb. Then, the very next day the landlords came through ripping the upstairs, and the basement, apart. Got new oil tanks at least, but G'DAMN, it sounded like an alien invasion when I woke up at 8am to the sound of those G'DAMN things being dragged across the cement floor under me... they put in a new oil burner for the upstairs apartment too. But sheeit,... now it sounds and feels like I'm sleeping over a launch pad at Cape Canaveral EVERY time that thing kicks on. Imagine trying to sleep through that... So, I no longer have a rock star sleep schedule 3am- crack of noon. Still haven't had a second alone with Jennifer Aniston, nor have I gotten my samich... feeling robbed, exhausted and cranky af. I need a vacation from this place. Gf's son went away for 3 days, and those 3 days when he was gone, the landlords and their crew seemed to be working overtime. I'll get this done though.

Damn , I feel your pain. Like your Gf's son I sleep during the day.
However for me every dog , Police , Fire , ambulance , and gardener with the 2 stroke blower only operate during my sleep time. I rarely do anything but sleep during the week. I also have a hour and twenty min. Commute each way, to top that off the day shift boss is "go fix this Train" when it's time to leave.

I don't think you guys "got it". It stopped at the pool.

I made a direct quote to help clarify.

G'DAMN! I feel your pain too. I live about 4 blocks from the train station by me. It's SO F'IN LOUD because of the frequencies the trains throw out and the fact that it somehow gets amplified through the hill I live on, it passes behind my across-the-street neighbors houses, but it's set down at ground level (meaning it's only about a half block away at some points, coming, going). It's so bad here that I have cracks in my foundation running from top to bottom that you can see light through while in the basement. Add all that to my hypersensitivities to sound from my injury, (which are exacerbated by lack of sleep, mind you), and use your imagination how much I curse those G'DAMN infernal machines every time they pass by. I feel them long before I hear them. Sometimes the frequencies being thrown off these things is so bad I feel like I'm having a literal mild seizure. It rattles my soul. I know, I know, I should just move TF outta here. Long/short is, my gf's been living here for 27yrs,... I've been here for 5. (Just waiting for that Housing Bubble to burst so I'm not under water right after purchasing a house). You all know when you throw on that Phantom Powered Mic you can hear a mouse fert down the block. I have to record vox in between trains, ppl tap dancing on my last nerve, and WWE matches upstairs... this is where I'm at right now:

I guess it's some manner of karma for cursing the ppl who lived up there before, (my gf's mom who passed, and her loser brother). They had a pool table up there and some days that useless dude would play from morning 'til night, which sounded like a bowling alley on my head, and when the balls would hit the floor or someone would drop a cue stick, it would be so loud I'd jump outta my skin! My gf's mom would just crunch around on my head. I thought THAT was bad. Even wrote a song about it to the music of Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head..

Fat ppl crunchin' on my head,
I don't know why tf they're crunchin'
on my HEAD,
all I know is THAT there's,
Fat ppl crunchin' on my head, they keep crunchin',
That's why I'm peeved,
Fat ppl crunchin' on me,...

Damn, I miss that crunchin'. Compared to the onslaught of sounds NOW, the crunchin' every now and then was like a lullaby.

Try foam ear plugs. That's the only reason I sleep.
