This may surprise some of you, but we live in a settled, respectable and quiet neighbourhood, and yet last night we had a very broken nights sleep thanks in a large part to some blatant "redneckery". Shortly after midnight we were awoken by the sounds of a hooligan sitting in his car over the road yelling aggressively at the top of his lungs, filling the night air with the following refrain:
"Where the F##K are you?!?!?!?!" (repeat 7 times, getting louder with each repetition of this key phrase)
"I'm going to find you!!!" (Repeat key phrase 1 at least 5 times more)
"I'm going to kill you, you C..."
It was all very delightful but because of this we are both excessively tired and this shot did not turn out as well as I had hoped. It's musically inspired again, this time from Temple of the Dog.
Best viewed on black, I'm off to work for a sleep.
I am a confirmed and certifiable nutbar with a penchant for skulls, bones, blood, guts, fire and anything slightly peculiar and mostly bizarre. I also...
This has to be viewed on black.........completely alternative photo! I feel like letting you out if your prison........you are trapped in there.....perhaps it was you shouting in the night after all the black plastics! Bad dreams & all that! Seriously no sleep is bad & I am up again in the night not sleeping!!
Oh, my! Did you call the police? I live in a "Redneck" area. Half of my neighbors would have answered by loading a bullet into the chamber of their favorite rifle!
That would have scared the crap out of me! I love the extra low-key - it gives it extra creepiness. P.S. I would have never taken you for a tattoo guy.
@joemuli Thanks very much - generally our neighbourhood is very quite, maybe I should have let my dogs out to lick him into submission... @happypat Yep, it suck all right - my eyes are gritty, slight headache and a strong desire to maim!!! @kt8ird Thanks very much - might be an early night tonight...we're not "night owls" at all... @tammyputney Thanks very much - lets just call it "accidental lightroom" because I have no idea either! @homeschoolmom We were about to call the police when he drove off with a heavy foot - I should have run at him with my knife out! @eyeamlisa Thanks very much - the tats are a remnant from a sordid and misspent youth...and I love 'em ;) @bigugly Thanks very much indeed - I could delivered said knife at high speed... @northy Thanks very much indeed - we were about to when he drove off...random @cailts Thanks very much indeed :) @bill_fe Thanks very much - just a quick cat nap during a meeting. As for the tats - 4 in all, so far. A remnant of my misspent youth that I still love :)
@tabarlett Thanks very much - I'm not sure which is correct wither. Just as well I'm not a grammar nazi!!! @cindyloo LOL, thanks very much - I just hope he stays away tonight! @taffy Thanks very much - this time thats what I was going for! @ukandie1 Thanks very much - to be honest I don't know how I did it either...would you believe "accidental lightroom"? @voiceprintz Thanks very much ;) @jsw0109 Thanks very much - my graveyard tan is working...
Interesting... I live in Seattle... Home of Temple of the Dog... and I was awoken in the night by a guy going between singing some kind of Opera and cussing at the top of his lungs ...
You're one 'WAY' up on me though... I just went back to sleep... you made an awesome photo! Very cool image!
Awesome & mystical, love it! What a night! Makes me curious though, I wonder who this C is and what have he done to get the anger of those hooligans....
@shannejw Sounded like that to us too...I considered running out in my pyjamas to scare them off... @dibzgreasley It was delightful, and thanks @susale thanks very much...and I don't think I want to know... @gigiflower It's outrageous isn't it? Mind you, it's only from the waist up, so technically it's only nud.
@andrewkru Thanks very much :) @newbank I will later, once I've read a bit and had some tea and stuff...undefined "stuff". Daughter is currently in kitchen cooking dessert so...must...stay...awake...for...sugar! @susale Especially when it comes to people who hurl obscenities in the wee small hours @gigiflower Don't worry, it's only the top half. You can admire my moobs.
Dontcha just love the loud effusions and linguistic poverty of the lumpenproletariat?? Ahh the joys of urban life, I get an itch in my trigger finger!!
oooh I love this - firstly because someone was obviously looking for you but could not find you - secondly because you have a two pack not a one pack - one pack was just wrong in my thoughts - thirdly - like the body ink - finally - well what's not to like hahahahaha
@rachelwithey Thanks very much - it a window in our hallway...and a truly bizarre night indeed @creativefool Thanks very much. It's usually so quiet up here so people instantly notice something out of the ordinary!
@deliad Thanks very much indeed :) @annied@gigiflower Well, I'll leave you two to it - I'm off to catch up on that sleep. Have a super evening. And I'm sure you're life isn't really over...you commented twice after saying that it was, so I have my doubts...
@graemestevens@gigiflower hahahaaha sleep well Mr S and I will think of the bloody stone - hmmmmm imagination indeed
and Sam I am glad your end has not happened
@annied I'm thinking about having a glass of red wine. We don't usually drink on week days but I'm thinking of breaking that rule. I'm sure you would approve ;)
I can't actually comment meaningfully on this because I only have my iPad on holiday with me and I can't see this image at all in daylight - I'll look again to night. Personally, I would have have been very surprised if you didn't have tats!
@dide Thanks very much indeed...if they do come and fingerprint they'll probably see me posing for a shot and arrest me out of hand! @hermann Thank you very much, no yokels in the night. This time it was the dogs that kept us away...sigh @vignouse Thanks - doesn't work very well on our iPad either sadly...maybe I should have said best viewed in a darkened room...I was surprised that people were surprised that I had them. Having said that, there was a survey done a few years back and apparently us kiwis are among the more "inked" people @juliedduncan Mission accomplished...thanks very much :) @scolgs Thank you and thank you @gigiflower do you need wine to recover from the sight of my moobs? PS. Pleased you haven't expired as well. @annied Waiting patiently to see your stone shot...
@adayinmallacoota Thank you very much indeed :) @ceilidh Sorry about that...or am I? @overalvandaan Thanks very much :) @vignouse That may well be it, and not at all surprised (the nicest people do...)
@aprilmilani Mine too, and all the evolution from then onwards as well - I'm constantly listening to TOD, Audoslave, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam...love it all
Ok so I am now sleeping with the lights on?.never should have looked when better half is away on trip....triggered my active imagination (and closet fears) - and great shot to boot - excuse me while I sit in a corner whimpering :)
@happypat Yep, it suck all right - my eyes are gritty, slight headache and a strong desire to maim!!!
@kt8ird Thanks very much - might be an early night tonight...we're not "night owls" at all...
@tammyputney Thanks very much - lets just call it "accidental lightroom" because I have no idea either!
@homeschoolmom We were about to call the police when he drove off with a heavy foot - I should have run at him with my knife out!
@eyeamlisa Thanks very much - the tats are a remnant from a sordid and misspent youth...and I love 'em ;)
@bigugly Thanks very much indeed - I could delivered said knife at high speed...
@northy Thanks very much indeed - we were about to when he drove off...random
@cailts Thanks very much indeed :)
@bill_fe Thanks very much - just a quick cat nap during a meeting. As for the tats - 4 in all, so far. A remnant of my misspent youth that I still love :)
@spikez Thanks very much - I wasn't surprised by them either ;)
@cindyloo LOL, thanks very much - I just hope he stays away tonight!
@taffy Thanks very much - this time thats what I was going for!
@ukandie1 Thanks very much - to be honest I don't know how I did it either...would you believe "accidental lightroom"?
@voiceprintz Thanks very much ;)

@gwenwoodsimaging Thanks very much :)
@annied Thank you kindly...I was surprised by the two pack to be honest...and I like my ink as well.
Brilliant shot - love it on black!
