Second, If you were to look at my apartment building from above you would see an "E" shaped structure with a roof top pool. Meaning three 8 story high towers all connected together with two court yards in-between the towers. I would just show you a picture but google earth won't let me cut and paste.
Thirdly, with so many apartments so close together, visitors usually make a note how the view is very Rear Windowesque. The other tower across from me is less than 40 feet away. And seeing as this building is over 80 years old, all the windows actually open. And we must be a pretty happy bunch here; cause no one has jumped since I have lived here. But any way, most people who have seen my apartment wonder why I chose the larger bedroom for my office and the smaller one for my actual bedroom. Well the smaller one is farther from the street, so it is more quiet. It also only has one window and is in the corner of the court yard; which makes it a lot darker. I only sleep in that room, ok well, not only sleep but you get the point. Sleeping is the bulk of the time spent in that room and I am one of those people that needs complete darkness. I always have the vertical blinds closed and even have a black curtain over the blinds I myself have never even opened the window since moving in years ago. But it is time to get on with the rant...
...So this past Sunday I stayed up late writing a short story. It was way past my bed time; seeing as I had an early call time at work the next morning. But I finally hit the hay around midnight. Closed my eyes and was ready for some good shut eye. But I couldn't fall asleep. Then I noticed there was light in my room. A little light will usually leak in around the curtain but this seemed a lot brighter than the normal leakage. So I pulled the curtain and blinds back and this ceiling light from the apartment across the way is beaming at me like it is a dwarf-dwarf star. But then my eyes dilate and come into focus and I see this Asian dude sitting naked in his window with a lap top that is not on his lap and this bright light beaming overhead. I did a double take because I had met the young lady who I thought lived in that apartment about a year before while waiting for the elevator because that apartment door is right next to the elevators. But she must have moved out! Because on this warm winter's night, it was still 70 degrees last Sunday night, naked Asian Dude sat in his window no less than forty feet away! And let me say, 40 feet is close enough to tell the stereotype of Asian guys being small, ain't true for this guy. So I quickly close my blinds and curtain cause I feel like I have done something dirty when all I wanted was a good night sleep. But I see the light leaking past the edges of my curtain and I can't sleep cause now I feel violated. Then I was thinking "what the fuck? Is this guy an exhibitionist or something?" Then I realized he was probably just hot and talking to some hottie girl on the internet. Which is fine but hey Asian dude, turns your lights off!!!! First off, I need sleep and don't need the illuminating reminder of you piercing the sanctuary of my sleep chamber. Second, I know it was past midnight but seeing as we are a diverse building; some kids might wake up to go potty cause they had too much tang, kool-aid, Redbull or what ever kids drink now a days and see you in your bright haloic glory. So simply put, turn your lights off Asian dude, so the rest of us can get a good nights sleep!!!
