Want to See What Kind of Truck an Asshole Drives?

Well, one of the things about having a blog is that it's a personal web blog. Well, at least mine is. And so while most of things that I write about are things like digital technology, photography, etc., every so often my blog reverts back to a personal web blog and we get a good old fashioned rant. I suppose it just feels good to get it off my chest.

So forgive the indulgence if these kind of rants turn you off...

...but

What kind of asshole and his friends party out in the parking lot at the San Jose Motel 6 until 3 a.m. in the morning, keeping everyone there awake all night? What kind of person thinks it's cool to blast their bitchin' stereo system on your too cool for school orange piece of crap truck while proceeding to get drunk all night. And why start showing off how your truck alarm works at 2 a.m.? Why not just start doing that at midnight? Why wait until 2 a.m. to show your friends how it works? Yeah, ok, that's cool how the horn blasts when it goes off, but for Pete's sake man, people are trying to sleep.

Ok, I understand you need to party. We've all been there. But how about partying in your room? Or maybe at the bar down the street. On the hottest night of the year in San Jose don't you think that some of the guests staying at the Motel 6 might have their windows open as the crappy air conditioning at the San Jose Motel 6 simply does not work?

And if that's not bad enough. Why the need to be back out in the parking lot at 8am the this Sunday morning with your truck parked diagonal blocking one parking lot exit with both doors wide open blasting out even more Spanish music as loud as your truck will play it. Can you imagine that after being kept up all night by you and your asshole friends that some people *might* try to get a little sleep? What's the purpose of blasting your music so that *everyone* in the Motel 6 complex can hear it? Do you think people are saying to themselves, "oh, hot donkey, Spanish music coming from that bitchin' orange truck out there. That guy is so cool"?

Yep, that photo above is of your truck early this very morning, both doors open, blasting crappy music from the parking lot while you were doing God only knows what in your room.

The inconsideration of some people just amazes me. So nice work Mr. California license plate number 7A03136 with the Central Valley Automotive license plate frame, whoever you are. Thanks a million for the three hours of sleep I ended up getting last night. I hope you and your friends had a hell of a time while my son and I were trying to sleep.

Yes, yes, I know. You get what you pay for. If you don't want to be kept up by partying assholes in the parking lot all night, don't stay at the Motel 6. But I remember a different time. I grew up staying at Motel 6's when we went on vacation. Motel 6 used to be a place where you could get a clean and quiet room with air conditioning that worked.
