this shouldn't bother me. ...but it does.
people who sit in their front yards on lawn chairs and watch the day go by.
it could be the hottest day of the year, and yet, there they are. sitting in a plastic lawn chair just watching events unfold in the radius that the front of their house encompasses.
to me, it's eerie.
just plain creepy.
is there nothing better to do?
i know daytime television sucks, but, c'mon!!! to just sit there and catalog that your neighbors parked their car differently or left the house several times to pick up kids or groceries?
i could almost understand it if there was a book in their hands or some sort of project. then i could justify wastin the day away and even getting outside for awhile. (again, this really shouldn't bother me, but i'm ranting here)
so, as an alternative to setting just the right butt-groove in your favorite lawn chair, i've made a list of things that are more fun, exciting and less creepy than sitting and outright spying on those that dwell around you.
1) reading
2) watching some form of entertainment such as: movies, television or even (dare i say it?) sports events
3) going to www.spacemanrocks.com continuously, maybe even sign the guestbook...
4) starting your own website, complain about people who sit inside and watch movies and park themselves in front of a computer instead of getting outside more often (see, it works both ways! freedom of speech. AMERICA!!! .... YEAH!)
5) puzzles. puzzles can be hours of fun and frustration
6) widdling
7) frisbee golf
8) real golf
9) running an illegal card game in your basement or garage for the mafia
10) heroclix
11) baking things
12) bootlegging DVD's
13) reading more
14) quoting "napoleon dynamite" poorly
15) going inside and cooling off
16) writing letters to gary coleman
17) cleaning and taking care of your household
18) TV and VCR repair
19) starting a band (the neighbors will miss your quiet staring, but at least you're doing something...)
20) build a robot.
so there ya have it. i gave you 20 things to do. try not to hurt yourself.
