get rid of excess... umm... stuff by 7-1-08

DONE! 15 months ago

Obviously, I’ve missed my deadline here. But I’m keeping this goal as a reminder of HOW LONG I have been trying to get this one done!

I did, however, recently sell fifty pounds of dolls, so that is an excellent start. 2 years ago

So I say fare thee well.
My truck got towed and impounded and I don’t think I am going to get it back. I spent months agonizing over it, thousands on building it, and then months neglecting it. I don’t think it’s the truck that I cared about, it’s the idea of the truck. So, it goes and I don’t miss it cause I never used it. This is about my personality more than anything, but I need to figure me out.
This may seem unrelated, but tangents are allowed, so, here goes: When I left my first real love after four years of living together, I was a drunk piece of trash with a degree and no direction other than OUT. I joined the service shortly after so that I could get some sort of long term goal going. I was celibate for more than two years, and in that time, I invented the guy who everyone calls ME. I am no longer happy with this person, and I have been working toward a new version of ME. Getting rid of the truck though the means are less than desirable is a step toward that. It has exposed the true nature of how I treat objects, and how I behave as an owner. I don’t like what I see. So, it’s time I decide what the character of ME is like.

If you don’t know by now.”

So, I have to move soon and as a part of my desire to start new couple with the fact that I have too much crap and a strong distaste for moving, I should have this done soon. 4 years ago

takin’ it and makin’ it mine. Gotta shed the excess, stay lean, hungry, and keep up the velocity. 5 years ago

but it’s a definite long-term project. 5 years ago

I just added “get rid of 43 things I don’t need” as a new goal. 6 years ago

It’s definitely time to take some action on this.

When I get around to it… 6 years ago

3 big bags o’ meaninglessness went to the thrift store. 1/400 done! 7 years ago
