Police came into my house, were fairly respectful to me in front of my family...
... all because someone filed a noise complaint, and you know what, residents of the house next door, it was YOU!
Seriously though, I live in a townhouse, my home theatre is in the basement, and I have two neighbors on either side who are connected to me. I like to watch movies in the evening, and for the most part mind to keep the volume at a reasonable level because I am aware that there are people next door, but even more importantly there are people sleeping in MY OWN house.
So, somehow the noise from my movies doesn't disturb people sleeping above me through wooden floors and open doors, but is a nuisance to people living in another house on the other side of CONCRETE?
In fact, I have doubts that it is, the police officer that came stepped into my house and I hadn't lowered the volume or anything because other people were watching a movie, and I was just called up because 'someone' was at the door, so I didn't even know what I'd be dealing with. He said, "I can't even hear anything"... standing in my hallway, with the door to my basement open, with the fucking movie playing at the volume I had been watching it at. He actually said, "I guess I have the wrong house." This was AFTER I even made the mistake of being openly frustrated with the situation and my first words to him were, "What's this about...", to which he did a double take like, "WTF did he just say to me?"... but even after I offended his sensibilities, the guy realized I was doing nothing wrong.
I know these people next door have a problem with my noise, I've gotten a note from the condominium board before that there has been a complaint about noise... so they've complained before, but what I hate about some members of our fine race, these people seem to exemplify this trait, is that we can be such douchebag wimps that hide behind authority. I speak with the elderly woman next door weekly, exchange hello's, how are you's, just random chit chat. Her worthless daughter (30-something) and her husband moved here a year or two ago and live with the elderly woman, I'm guessing they sleep in the basement, otherwise there's absolutely NO reason to complain... but I've never personally heard anything about it, nor have my parents who converse even more often with her. I'm sure she knows about her daughter's 'noise' problem, and won't tell me about it. The daughter doesn't say anything, and her husband is like a shadow, I think I've seen him twice or 3 times in over a year.
I'm just so upset, and perplexed by this behavior.. I don't get it, nor do I know what I should do, because I'm being pressured by my parents who are scared that the police came, which is ridiulous because the police verified that I'm not doing anything wrong.
I'm open to suggestions... and I welcome hearing your comments, I'm considering writing them a letter of some sort, if I write it now, the tone would be of a "fuck off" nature, which I'm not sure if it's what I should be going for.
Anyhow, sorry to bore everyone with a personal story, I know it's a departure from the mindless humor that's normally up here... I'll return to that shortly, unless of course this doesn't get resolved.

Beige - What Is It That You're Grabbing
It's 1am, sometime in late 2006, and Steve and I are packing up some equipment from Roop's basement when Steve reaches for something. I ask, "What is it that you're grabbing?"... with that phrase, an hours worth of singing and 5 more people joining in from being drawn in by the noise downstairs, the following hilarious recording was created.
Me, Steve, Jim, Jamal, Roop, Freyger...
We called ourselves Beige, and our feature song "What is it that you're grabbing" is the main focus of the recording, but as the complexity of the song grew with harmonies, background vocals, etc... spinoffs of the song also arose, covering everything from the Maple Leafs' stanley cup run, a number of people's personal relationships, etc etc.
It will only be funny if you know the people I've mentioned, but if you have nothing better to do for ~30 minutes, give it a listen, because the development and evolution of these songs is really really funny. (Then again, it might be a "you had to be there")
BEIGE - WHAT IS IT THAT YOURE GRABBING
That reminds me actually, in that song I attempt to sing the "Steve has Scurvy" song I'd just written at the time, so heres a quick recording of that song too in case its of any interest to anyone... haha, I really should've recorded this for real with a non-99cent mono pc mic.
STEVE SOMAN HAS SCURVY

Formerly New Zealand's fourth most popular guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo...
... who have unfortunately recently been bumped down by "Like of the Conchords", a tribute band to them that has taken 4th spot on the charts.
They are Flight of the Conchords and more than likely you've at least heard of the name by now. Their hilarious comedic folk music (think Corky and the Juicepigs, Tenacious D, Stephen Lynch) has landed them a hit tv series on HBO. While the show is quite funny, and follows the duo's attempt to make it as a comedy music duo in New York City, the songs they play every episode are the real gems, and I can honestly say I'm addicted to a good number of them.
So here's a sample of some of my favourites:
If You're Into It
The Hiphopopotomous vs. The Rhymenoceros ft. The Hiphopopotomous & The Rhymenoceros
Frodo, Don't Wear the Ring
The Humans Are Dead
Look up more, and watch the show, Jemaine and Bret are hilarious!

Amazingness in 10 Seconds or Less
A couple Nissan SR-20 motors would pull a premium the week before race wars.
What, I can't pay for my own shrimp!
No, I got the shrimp
No that's something about me you don't understand! I gotta pay my own way, just wish I had a little something on side like you!
What is this guy, tuna crazy?
He ain't here for the food.
He tryin' to get into Mia's pants dog!
He was in my face...
I'M IN YOUR FACE!
Try fat burger, you can get a cheeseburger for a dollar-ninety-five, faggot.
You can have any brew you want, as long as it's a Corona.
SWAT came into my house, disrespected my family, all because someone narced me out, and you know what, it was you Toretto!
I never narced on nobody!
I NEVER NARCED ON NOBODY!!!
The truck driver gave us the same m.o., 3 honda civics, precision driving, same green neon glow from under the chasis.
The results came back from the lab, Mashimoto ZX tires, so we know it's someone in the street racing world.
Eh, it's nobody's car.
Why Hector?
Cause he's too slow to make away with the money dawg
Edwin happens to know a few things. One of the things Edwin knows is, it's not how you stand by your car, it's how you race your car.
You almost had me???
You never had me, you never had your car!
Ask any racer, any real racer... it doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile, winning's winning.
Check out this snowman over here.
Nice wheels, whatchu runnin' under there, man?
(Silence)
You gonna make me find out the hard way?
Hell yeah!
You brave! You brave! The name's Hector, got a last name too but I can't pronounce it.
Brian Spillner
Typical white boy name, know what I mean?
When am I gonna get a shot at that Honda 2000 of yours?
He's got over a hundred grand under the hood of that car!
Hey Vin, what was the name of that restaurant you wanted to take me to?
With the little red candles? Cha Cha Cha's
Good, YOU can take me there.
Even the cops are hollywood in hollywood.
If you want time, buy the magazine!
You can't step into the ring with Ali just because you think you can box.
He KNOWS I can box!
Overnight parts from Japan.
I said a 10 second car, not a 10 minute car. What am I going to do, push this across the finish line? Or... tow it?
Naw, you couldn't even tow it.
No faith.
Oh I got faith in you, but this?
Pop the hood.
Pop the hood?
Pop the hood.
2-JZ Engine, no SHIT!
If there's something you can't find in this garage, then you don't belong arond a car.
You should be going to MIT or something.
No, I got that attention disorder
ADD?
Yeah, that........ shit!
And on an unrelated note:

The UGDBLOG!
Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, my blog has been reborn. The previous title "The Right Post", which had contextual significance, clever double entendre, and an air of legitimacy, has been replaced by the new name "The UGDBLOG". Surely then, the UGDBLOG must be more personal, more meaningful, and give a more concise description of what will be found within the blog. No. Not really. In fact it's a term my friend randomly came up with, and has since been obsessed with when referring to me. So there you have it, the new title of my blog is completely nonsensical.
