  • Get a box. A bunch of boxes. Walk to the first thing you see. Pick it up. Ask yourself two questions.

    1. Have I used this in the past 5 years?

    2. Will I use it in the next 5 years?

    If you answered no, put it in the box.

    Now repeat. Over and over and over. With every single item in the house.

    When you’re done, take the boxes to goodwill.

    Now do this same process every 5 years. And when you’re buying a new thing, ask yourself: "Do I really want this thing in my house, and add to the next roundup?

    You may find you buy less things, just because your cleanup every 5 years takes too long.










  • the Mona Lisa, a 522-year-old painting of an Italian woman

    Damn. I remember when that was brand new, and everyone was talking about it. In modern times, I believe the kids today would call it a “sick meme”.

    We didn’t use such words back then. We called it “art”.

    Now you got all these yolkels hosting what they call “renaissance fairs”, but they completely missed the point of them. It wasn’t a festival. It was just a typical tuesday at the market! I like going to these renaissance fairs for the nostolgia, but they don’t actually sell usefull goods or services. Instead they set up a “gift shop”. Ugh. I just want to buy a decapitated head of a lamb, and a rack of ribs. Why do I have to go to your air conditioned big box grocery stores to do it? I want to buy it off the wooden cart of a traveling salesmen like it was INTENDED GOD DAMMIT!
