When I'm lyin' in my bed at night
I don't wanna grow up
Nothin' ever seems to turn out right
I don't wanna grow up
How do you move in a world of fog
That's always changing things
Makes me wish that I could be a dog
When I see the price that you pay
I don't wanna grow up
I don't ever wanna be that way
I don't wanna grow up
Seems like folks turn into things
That they'd never want
The only thing to live for
Is today...
I'm gonna put a hole in my TV set
I don't wanna grow up
Open up the medicine chest
And I don't wanna grow up
I don't wanna have to shout it out
I don't want my hair to fall out
I don't wanna be filled with doubt
I don't wanna be a good boy scout
I don't wanna have to learn to count
I don't wanna have the biggest amount
I don't wanna grow up
Well when I see my parents fight
I don't wanna grow up
They all go out and drinking all night. And I don't wanna grow up
I'd rather stay here in my room
Nothin' out there but sad and gloom
I don't wanna live in a big old Tomb
On Grand Street
When I see the 5 o'clock news
I don't wanna grow up
Comb their hair and shine their shoes
I don't wanna grow up
Stay around in my old hometown
I don't wanna put no money down
I don't wanna get me a big old loan
Work them fingers to the bone
I don't wanna float a broom
Fall in love and get married then boom
How the hell did I get here so soon
I don't wanna grow up
- Tom Waits
This song came out the year before i hit highschool. Ive listen to TW off and on, he was a little out there for me during my teens but this song has always resonated with me.
Now, i am grown up. Im 46. I have children who are the age i was when this song came out. I have this overwhelming feeling like this is it. I have a home, and loans, and kids, and a medicine chest. Im floating the broom. Feeling like ive lost my way.
How the hell did i get here so soon?
Shit is hitting really hard this morning. Bricks on my chest. Anyway.
keep blinds shut/windows locked. Doors too. I dont want to seem callous or flippant but have you had any breakups recently that went south? Any hookups that maybe went bad? Any negative interactions w strangers recently? Stalkers?
Depending upon your location, it may be against rules laid out by whatever agency has authority over flights/flying in the country you live in. You might be able to report it (i know, i know, im talking about going to the feds or whatever) and depending upon what is nearby, said authority may investigate. If its a repeat thing they may be able to triangulate a controller signal. Do FPV drones broadcast an FCC ID/ FAA ID or equivalent? Some can be purchased as kits, as turn key or some can be assembled from parts. Id reckon there exists open source flight controller software that will allow one to fly a drone in unauthorized spaces. Im close to a US naval base and they take unathorized drone flights very seriously. Very seriously. I cants say too much because ill docs myself but im speaking from experience here.
Is it possible to snare it/corral it somehow, without causing yourself harm? Masons twine is quite durable, cheap, and a well aimed loose handful at low elecations might foul up a prop. A small lightweight length of chain from a hardware store could work for this too. Bird netting or fishing line strung back n forth might foul up a rotor.
Honestly, i think your options for recourse are pretty small. Its either get the feds/regulatory agencies involved or get creative and get the fkn thing out of the sky by any means necessary. Are doors and windows accessible by just taking a fire eacape or something similar? Keep the doors locked, the shades drawn and the windows locked.
Im sorry if im scaring you unreasonably; it might be a one off thing, some peeping tom has gone high tech. It might be someone looking for easy apartments/homes to break in to. It might just be someone saw you and human curiosity took over.
Stay safe comrade.
