Obvious and the Oblivious

Its back. That little springtime is almost here, lets kick it into high gear and actually have a backyard garden to relax in mode I semi embraced last year.
My jasmine has started climbing the walls of the apartment and the blooms smell amazing. The leftover onions are still hanging out in the ghetto planter box that gave me that nasty bruise last year. My aloe looks like it would rather die a thousand deaths then live another second in my garden but my Rosemary and mint LOVE me.
So after suffering through the fall and winter feeling like a gardener looser and doing nothing to change the state of my sad garden, two weeks ago I took action and put some good hard work into it. Cleaned up the trash and spread the rocks that Susan so nicely donated to me. Went and bought some pots and plants for my newest idea to keep the idiotic apartment gardeners from ruining my "wall" I had built for the umpteenth time.
The idea was to rebuild the wall again, because apparently stepping on it and collapsing it SEVERAL times did nothing to help them learn from their mistakes, (oh and thanks gardeners for collapsing the wall so many times and NEVER putting it back together) and then put plotted plants on that level so they would not step on it. Obviously makes sense right? I mean if you saw a wall that had previously been collapsed with new plants on it would you step on it? I wouldn't but apparently I am not as oblivious as some people. They went right ahead and found a nice little space next to my plants to put their big fat feet and collapse the wall again.
Not only that but somehow I just knew after last year's weed whacker incident with my onions (oh yes they did) that they most likely had done something else as well. I was right. My nasturtium that I was so happy had seeded itself from last year was gone. They had pulled it out like a weed and went ahead and clipped all the branches of my pepper plant as well.
Apparently my landlady had not talked to them like she promised. Big surprise. I guess I will have to make a sign. That's classy.

Curses

I want to curse the girl who hit my parked car with flat tires for a year, but that would be wrong.
I don't have time to deal with this crap.
Anybody want to give me a car? or perhaps some sort of free transportation that will not leave me exhausted after getting up the Laurel "hill"?

ugh

I parked my car a couple Friday's ago and came out the next morning to discover someone had "rolled" into it. Awesome. I love that.
I say "rolled" because who can total a car by simply "rolling" into it? Oh right but I forgot, it was my fault because I parked so close (and by close I of course mean at least a foot and a half away). How silly of me to assume that people know how to drive.
So now I am waiting on insurance to tell me officially that it is totaled and write me a check so that I can have yet another bill in the form of a car payment.
Did I mention I love that?

Eye opening.

I just witnessed the most ridiculous self centered human on the face of this planet.
I work across the street from an assisted living senior home where, more often then I would like, the red fire trucks and blaring ambulances pull up to the doors to retrieve a senior citizen needing to be hospitalized for one reason or another. Today was no different except one pristine silver car that was unfortunately blocked in by both the ambulance trying to get the closest spot to the front door and the fire truck that was blocking the road so as to create more maneuvering room for the paramedics.
I watched as the Blonde Pris gets in her car and attempts in vain to back out of her spot; her poor space judgment causing her car to ram into the car behind her. Realizing there was no use (although if she was smart and not an arrogant fool she would have been able to pull an opposite parallel parking move and gotten out just fine) she, instead of pulling forward off the bumper of the other car, gets on her cell phone and with her hand to her head starts ranting at someone about her predicament.
Fine leave it at that. You are frustrated that you are stuck there. Maybe you are late to a meeting and stressed about the person you just visited. But don't do what I think you are about to do.
Horrified I watched as this POMPOUS and awful person gets out of her car and walks right up to the paramedics who are rushing to get their things together to help a possibly dying person and asks them if the fire truck can move or how she can get out.

SERIOUSLY LADY?!?!?!?!?! Are you really THAT important, that self involved that you don't realize you are making a complete ass of yourself?
I cannot even express how sick it makes me feel to know that there are people like this lady in the world. Yes, she may have had something in her life that was consuming her thoughts. Perhaps grieving for the loss of someone who used to live in that building or whatever she may be dealing with in her life. But nothing gives any other human being the right to act like the world actually just centers around them and risk another human being's life for something as ridiculous as time. Five minutes. That's all she had to wait. Five minutes for the ambulance to rush the senior to the hospital yet her petty little life was more important than another's. Sick.
