Catpaw – diary of an angry cat

I’m sitting in my favourite cafe at the moment letting my mind meander wherever it pleases. I went out and bought some earplugs because I just can’t handle the noise any longer. I find myself becoming tense and agitated – the opposite reaction I wish for when I go for a cappuccino. I haven’t resigned myself to the noise, not by a long shot. I am going to save and by a decibel meter and start carting it about. I’ve already worked up a sheet of paper with “how loud is your place” details on it. I have pictures of little jet planes, large farm tractors, whispering trees etc. to illustrate how loud the noise is in any given place. I have come to the realisation we are raising a generation of deaf people and I don’t want to join them.

Yes I am being cranky about the entire issue. But look at it from this point of view – why should I be subjected to your taste in music. Today, thankfully, no rap is playing. Don’t start b*#tching and complaining about my narrow view – I don’t like rap. It’s not to my tastes. I find it noxious and increases my sense of anxiety. All that bass pounding at me puts me into a very aggressive mood. I have the right to dislike a particular style of music without being verbally taken to task for it. I don’t expect you to listen to Mozart or Joan Baez, so don’t expect me to listen to 50cents.

I feel like I’m in my own little world here, with my earplugs in. I can hear everything that is going on around me, its just muted. Unfortunately, there is way too much bass and I can still feel it in my chest. Can sound waves cause a stroke in cranky cats? I’ve been eavesdropping on a family of whinney, cranky annoying kids – parents are crass and spoilt, children are moaning and complaining. Geez why do parents indulge unacceptable public behaviour. Oh wait! I know! Because they are behaving the same way. I stick to my original statement today that humanity has slithered down the pipeline of insanity.

I think I’ll go to the bakery and get my bread and scones for the weekend. The whining is beginning to wend its way through my ear plugs. Can whining cause your ears to bleed? I don’t want to stick around and find out. I may get cranky all over their spoilt butts

Stumble it!
