Thoughts on Next Door Neighbors
Is it just me or are people becoming less friendly these days. In the south if you see someone in the neighborhood, typically you would say"Hi", or at the very least give a wave.
Recently this has not been the case, we moved into a new apartment about a month ago, the place has a variety of people in it. An older guy who lives by his self, a family with two kids, a few couples, some single girls, about 7 Mexicans who work at El Zarape(piled in a two bedroom 2.5 bath) and some single guys.
Well, being the southern gentleman that I am, I give the wave and the "Hi, how's it going?", the only responses that I have gotten in return are mainly blank stares and looks, with the exception of the single guys, and the older guy.
One example that sticks out is with one of the single girls who live next door. We had been living there a couple of weeks when I noticed a moving van out front, well, the next day there was a new car parked in our neighbors parking spot with out-of-state plates. While going to check the mail I saw her going to the car,
I then said "Hi, how are you?"
no response from her
Me; "did you just move-in?"
her; "No"
Me;"okay, well I'm Nick, I'm your next door neighbor"
her; no response.
a few days later as I was leaving for work saw her walk out of her door.
again gave the obligatory wave
her; blank stair.
I just don't get it, I do not know what this area is coming to, when you are the one being friendly and are looked at like a freak.

Thoughts on environmetalist wackos
What is an environmentalist wacko? this is a person who joins PETA, believes in global warming, the ozone layer, evolution, and thinks that the world is over crowded and one more SUV away from total destruction. Nothing could be further from the truth.
these people are crazy, they think that a cow, or any animal for that matter, should have the same rights that we do. Let me ask you a question; what is a cow's purpose? Ill tell you what a cows purpose is; it is to become an 8oz filet mignon.
Let me clue you environmentalist wackos in on something, and this may come as a shock, animals are here for us to use. Virtually every animal in the world can be used for food or utility. Here is just one example of both, people in the rainforest use poisonous frogs to tip thier arrows and shoot monkeys for food.
Oh and here is another thing animals do not go to heaven.I doubt very seriously that there will be herds of buffalo roaming around.
They also believe that the world is overcrowded.Maybe this will put it in perspective; Manhattan is 31 square miles and its population in 2000 was 1, 537, 195. That is a load of people.
Then there is the global warming scare. Let me just say here that I do not believe in global warming or the ozone layer. You are probably thinking that I am the crazy one now, but, I just cannot believe that there is a magical layer of oxygen that is so delicate and fragile that it can be destroyed by hairspray or other cfc's. and about global warming, if there are holes in the ozone layer that are letting harmful uv rays in then there are also holes letting the rays out.
I can only conclude in saying that these people try and create chaos out of nothing. Dont get me wrong im not for blatent expoitation of the planet or anything like that. because that is just as bad as what the wackos want to do. All i am saying is when it comes to these people you have to use your heads and your common sense.
Well, those are some of my thoughts, on a side note my son is turning 3 on the 10th and I must say that it seems only yesterday that we were bringing him home from the hospital.
Man time flys!
