"To have little is to possess. To have plenty is to be perplexed."

so i found this quotations site and found that a lot of them really describe me. with that, i've come to the conclusion that it could be a good idea to start my posts with them. in this case, a quote by a man named Lao-tzu serves as a good title. considering all the cleaning and packing we've been doing in preparation for our move to Cleveland, he couldn't be more right.

it's amazing, how much crap a person accumulates over the years. at the moment, i consider jen and myself to fall into the latter of the two (refer to my title), and i am truly perplexed. between all the knick-knacks, memorabilia, and just plain junk that we have procured in our recent past, i'm starting to conclude that having a lot of places to store things is not a good idea. i'd really like to find whomever invented drawers. he deserves to lose, and i want to be the one who tells him so. i guess storage is ok for the shot term, but in the long run, it's really pissing me off. and i'm feeling that the only purpose of having more storage simply gives people a chance to collect more useless stuff. the magic 8 ball sees many garbage bags in my future.
