I wrote an essay all about this, how hard it is to throw things out, and traced most of it back to being six and finding that my mother had thrown away a perfectly good stuffed animal of mine named “Ducky.”
I abhor your advice. When the day comes that you and I are stuck on a desert island you’ll find yourself wanting a stuffed duck and me, laughing in pure rapture over how well-prepared I was.

the only use i see in magazines is informing on video games you ( i read gameinformer all time) and if you absolutely have to tear out an ad page to use as toilet paper.

I can stop being filthy, I mean I shower often, but gypsy? Not until I can have some kind of gene therapy. Damn my family for being from the wrong side of all the tracks.

But… but I thought being a filthy gypsy was sexy. Well great, now I’ll have repeatedly introduce a blunt object to the head of the guy who sold me on that load of garbage.

At any rate… I too suffer from Packtarius Ratius (an unclever term that I came up with for Pack Rat Syndrome). I have an old Dell laptop with a dead backlight sitting in a closet because I “might get it fixed someday”. Yeah, right. Like I’m really going to shell out an absurd amount of cash to repair a computer that’s more obsolete than the Intellivision.

Good post man, good post!

You have not found the infinite closet known as “eBay.” Instead of putting your junk in a conventional closet, if you put your junk in this ultracloset, you’ll get money that barely clutters up your bank account! Then if you ever decide you want the thing you put in your ultra closet, it’s there! For junkier things Craigslist works well too.

Recently, I started packing up boxes for the move when all of a sudden it hit me, what the hell is all of this CRAP?! I went from one box to the next throwing out old computer parts that are obsolete, cables for devices I don’t have any more, books I’ll never read… At the end of my week long rampage I realized I just woodchippered my couches and my king sized water bed.

A futon mattress and a Macbook Pro is all I need.

My family is moving, so we have taken the art of trashing to heart.
