Cleaning House

Filed under: Musings — 28 October 2009 @ 10:17 pm

So, I’m writing on my blog.

I’m not sure about blogging these days, as in, I’m not sure what I want to write about. There are endless topics, but only so many that I’d write about consistently. My Christian Imagination blog seems to have run its course, served its purpose. My French Press Coffee blog is making me $10-20/month without much effort. Maybe I’ll do some videos and review some products. I started blogs about Working Abroad and Summer Jobs Abroad, and though interesting in the topics, haven’t written much. Maybe it would help if I was working abroad.

Until I figure out where I’m musing, I’ll return to my original blog, Seth’s World View.

I am, at this time, cleaning house. That mostly means shifting material things around in preparation of an impending flatmate. The organization of said things that has been on my backburner list, but the imperative to actually move said things hasn’t been momentous enough. So, things sat. They sat because I had the space, and the space didn’t object to the layout of the objects in space. The space will no longer conform, and thus requires that things be jettisoned, whether to storage, trash, or other peoples’ hands.

I wonder about the latter. And I wonder about the purpose of things. I have more things than I need, and there are people in need, yet there is no simplicity in making that connection. It actually takes effort to get rid of things, time to find buyers, legwork to avoid the trash heap. I have an older, smallish TV, and I have to wonder how many people would turn it down because it is neither large nor digital nor truly cable ready. So, I look at my things, things that I desire to not be, and wonder where they could go. I also look at things, like computer speakers, and realize that they have been in my closet for a few years. Oh yes, they might come in useful, but more than likely they would be better not in my closet actually being used, and that applies to a number of things. I could sell them on craiglist or ebay, though unless they are a high priced item, and many things aren’t, the money made is less than the time spent. Maybe though, I could give them to other people who could sell them on ebay. Hmmmm.

For now, I’ll just feel good that all my camping gear is on two shelves. Yes, that is good.
