Can you believe that?

Five bags and none of it everyday rubbish. All of that is shit stuff collected over the years and kept “just in case” or because it seemed “kinda cool” at the time. The stuff isn’t even worth putting up on ebay, the listing fees would be much higher than what the stuff is worth.

My name is Jeremy and I am a pack-rat.

My place almost feels empty now. And with the exception of various electronics, furniture, extensive dvd and book collections, clothes, stationary and a few bits and pieces that escaped the trash bags, it is empty.

It’s pretty insane the things that we keep. Why do we do it? Why keep floppy disks when its been six years since you’ve owned a computer with a floppy drive? Why keep old wires and remotes for electronics that blew up years ago? Why keep all those instruction booklets when you never once looked at them? Why keep magazines when you know you’ll never look at it again? Why keep that old rabbit ears antennae with one broken ‘ear’… especially when you have cable…

We’re like squirrels playing with our nuts.

But, now I’ve gotten rid of my nuts. Trash.

And after the big move it’ll be time to start accumulating more.

Also, while going through old notebooks, I found an old short story I wrote one misanthropic day –

Total Hero’s Journey. Am I right?
