Howdy folks. I hope everyone's day went well...mine was quasi-productive. I mostly slept* and I took down/re-hung some shelves. Since my roommate moved out, I've been spending a lot of time organizing and purging all the crap that I've been carrying around for years. This has been a wonderful cleansing experience, but it has also left me riddled with guilt.

I mean, I know my grandmother probably wouldn't be offended by my throwing out the small bottle perfume she gave me for my high school graduation...and all that makeup that my dad bitched about spending his money on 10 years ago...but still...it pains me to throw this shit away. And then there's the posters. I'm finally getting rid of most of my posters. I'm trying to justify to myself that a picture of a beauty queen with a cigarette hanging out of her mouth isn't funny anymore...huh...no, it still is. But, I think it's time for it to be passed along...to another generation of drunk 18 years olds looking for random crap to pin to their walls.

Yeah. I'll just look at it that way. I'm sure there's someone else out there that will have an undying love of my old crap. Riiiiggghhtt.

*the price of my drinks at the bar has gotten uncomfortably low...I know I really shouldn't be complaining, but I don't need any encouragement when it comes to binge drinking...also, it makes me feel a little sleazy...

It's good to let go. I finally did that last spring. You'll feel lighter afterward. I had been moving a box around for the past 10 years that i hadn't opened the last 5 moves. Yep, i really needed that stuff. It's all in the trash or at the goodwill now. Viva la purge!
 
I'm a big fan of buffalo exchange/cheapo records/garage sale purges. It helps to get that little bit of extra cash to buy more crap you'll have to throw out in 10 years.

And I'm totally down for camping, lets burn stuff. Good times.
