Noise Pollution

Noise Pollution

     One thing that nobody knows about me is that I easily get annoyed by the sound of the

    neighbors gardener running the leafblower. When I hear that noise, I go absolutely crazy. 

    I run to my room and put the pillows over my head. One thing that does help me cope 

    is that I have a pair of thick headphones and put on some rock n roll music.

        

        Leafblowers maybe a godsend to landscapers but it's a bane to anyone within earshot.

    Their two stroke engines causes decibels relative to an airplane flying. I'm glad some 

     cities have enacted laws to get them banned. There is a movement in my city to do 

     the same but not enough people seem to care.  

Overplayed Songs I Hate

Overplayed Songs I Hate

       We've all heard these songs played on the radio constantly. Here are a few songs that

   I can't stand.

    1). Don't Stop Believing- Journey (mostly because it was used as the anthem for the 

    SF Giants during their World Series wins.) 

    2). Closer- The Chainsmokers feat. Halsey (I can't stand this due to the glorification of 

    promiscuous sex.) 

    3). Old Town Road- Lil Nas X 

    4). Perfect/ Shape of You- Ed Sheeran (overplayed to death as to fill airtime.)

    5). Despacito- Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee

    6). 7 Years- Lukas Graham 

    7). You Need to Calm Down- Taylor Swift ( I usually like Taylor's songs but this one

    just sounds so saccharin and pretentious.) 

    8). Feel it Still- Portugal the Man 

    9). Uptown Funk- Mark Ronson feat Bruno Mars
