Granite_StateQuality post and true for both parts. I was working, doing my on dishes and laundry, and paying my own bill by 17 at the latest (earlier for some). And I have that problem in my house now. 7 other roommates, two kitchens, and both always have dirty dishes in them, even after we discuss what you said about keeping the sink clean. I always do my dishes right after I use them but not everyone does that and blame gets tossed around all the time.
And BTown has some great music (artist wise) but you're right the venues suck. Higher Ground is on one side of town, pretty far walk from the majority of bars and such in downtown. You can def get shit in (smoked a joint during Macklemore a few years ago) but yeah they aren't very lenient with that kind of stuff. The waterfront venue is actually pretty dope though. Easier to get shit in and its out in the open overlooking a great part of the lake.
Yeah. I think that has a big thing to do with it. Why it's not common courtesy to some people but some alien idea that they can't quite grasp. My mom would have done the dishes or my laundry but I just started doing my own. I think I had to do it for something early highschool, figured it all out and then just kind of started to do it regularly. For a long time rinsed my dishes pretty clean but then realized it was easy to just to them right away and they never piled up. Obviously if you're tired or drunk or just lazy leaving a couple things for later is no big deal but when everyone does it in a house with several people, and later doesn't come it goes to hell very quickly.
I almost made it to the waterfront for umphreys a couple years ago? not sure why I didn't. I might have been on terrr.
With the roomate thing again, I care more about other people than myself I think. I don't listen to the tv very loud anyway but if there's people sleeping nearby I keep that shit real low. Things like that. Not slamming doors, banging pots around. Shit happens sometimes, something falls, maybe you're drunk, whatever but some people almost try to make as much noise as possible, leave garbage everywhere.
It's a good habit in general but if you're living with 4+ people it's necessary. Everything multiplies. A clean kitchen goes to shit in a day or two etc.
Idk if people are self centered or just completely oblivious to the people around them. It bums me out when people don't give a fuck about the people around them. Obviously we're not all going to be friends, bad things will always happen, but in my utopian dreamer head, I also hope that that will change sometime.
It's a lame greeting card/fortune cookie caliber cliche but it would be epic for a week or even a day if people just put a tiny bit of effort about being nice to the people around them. Sure they might be a stranger that you'll never see again, but caring a tiny bit about the people around you can make a huge difference in the world.
/Fortune cookie abortionator is going to leave now before I end up with a job at hallmark or something.
If anybody read that hopefully it wasn't too painful. Call me naive, but I really do feel that way.
