Desire and Stuff
There's a part of me that constantly desires what I don't need. Example: I have a two year old car which I love, but I constantly find myself looking at used car ads. There's nothing wrong with my car (since I baby it) but there's a part of me that says, "Sure, it's not practical to have two cars, but it would be fun". Another Example: I've found myself looking at Real Estate listings more than twice this week. I can't afford to buy a house right now in NorCal. I don't even know if I could get a loan for a house, but yet, I'm there, looking for that jewel that might be my future home. Instead of being happy with what I have (a roof over my head, a paying job, etc) I find myself wanting, and I find that wrong. I live a pretty spartan lifestyle, but at the same time I have a lot of clutter. I could do alot to clean it up, organize it, yet I haven't, and for what reason? There's more than I need. I think the only thing I'm short on is time. I need to sit down and reorganize the clutter in my life.
Speaking of cleaning up the clutter in one's life, Blizzard is on the auction block. Our parent company Vivendi Universal has decided that it doesn't want any of the Vivendi Universal Entertainment properties, which include Movies, Music, Games, and USA Networks.
Since Babylon 5 is slowly being released onto DVD now, I've got dozens of old B5 tapes that can be erased. Of course, video tapes do me no good whatsoever, since I'm a faithful TiVo convert. I've got hundreds of CDs that if I just took out of the jewelcases and placed them in a folder, I could probably save like a couple cubic feet of space. Of course, if I converted them all to MP3 I could possibly save even more. So many things to do... so little time. Where does it all go?
