Has this ever happened to you? Imagine sleeping peacefully... Wait! Let`s change that to sleeping blissfully, when a noise sounding like an indecent affair between a harley davidson and a monster truck erupts and sodomizes the tranquil ambiance that you were basking in! Well, that happened to me last night, and the night before that, and the night before that. You see, ever since I`ve moved into my dad`s friend`s apartment, I really haven`t been able to sleep because of these annoying exhausts on vehicles that haunt me during the nights.
For some reason, young Japanese men like to make their exhausts sound masculine. Make your ride scream loud and proud because that`s what it`s all about. Now, some of you might know people like this in the States, transforming their small ponies into ostentatious replicas of merry-go-round horses..... But at least in the States, the exhausts are deep and a little muffled. Over on this side of the world, however, muffler to a typical Japanese guy means as much as a big screen plasma television does to a blind man. So the end result is that I`m constantly woken up by these vehicles. And some of you might be doubting my usage of the word `constant`... To put all doubts aside, the last cursed rumbling I heard was at 5:45 a.m. and the frequency of the vehicles that produce this noise is one out of every four. So go put on your contacts and try to picture that scenario! It is times like this I wish I owned a semi automatic rifle with a night scope. Unfortunately, owning guns without a license is illegal, as would be shooting owners of cars and motorcycles with loud exhausts... Guess we`ll have to see how many wrinkles and bags a man can get around his eyes in one month. Oh, and say hi to the Sand Man for me because I won`t be meeting him anytime soon.
