The actual sounds of animals annoy me. I live in a zoo. My wife’s cat starts meowing at 6 AM, which wakes up my dog and causes him to bark. The barking gets the birds going outside, the birds send the squirrels into a frenzy and they dart back and forth across my roof and all the while I curse them all. I do not need an alarm. Yet I have two. Actually I have one and my wife has one. Mine is on my side of the bed, hers is on her side, thus implied ownership. Mine is not plugged in and yet each morning at 7 AM it beeps. How is that possible? I believe there must be a battery in it that I am not aware of. I haven’t checked. I will go on believing, blindly, and allow it to continue to go off each morning. What does it matter? I have the animals waking me up an hour earlier anyway. By the time the unplugged alarm clock goes off, I am wide awake and just about over being annoyed. I’m not sure whether I’d be less annoyed to be awoken by the band, The Sound of Animals Fighting or by my own animal sounds. This band sounds like Hole is their favorite band. And as we all know, Hole sucks. All I heard when listening was an annoying lady screaming, yet when I looked at the band photo I did not see a woman. I am confused. I believe a woman was screaming just as I believe there are batteries in my alarm clock that make it go off each morning. But I don’t really care that much to investigate.
