Burden Of Collection

I’m moving.

Across town, to a place with a backyard.

So my dog can run around.

I hate moving.

Why? Because I have too much stuff.

Correction: too much crap.

Why?

Why do I have all this crap? What’s the point?

For example, what do I need with so many t-shirts? In case my washing machine breaks, I can go without doing laundry for 6 weeks. Seriously.

18 pairs of shoes?

3 DVD players? Really, Brandon?

2 VHS players? VHS?

Enough cables and wires to build my own television studio.

A giant American flag? It’s too big to do anything with.

I’m not sure why, but I’ve stocked up enough office supplies to furnish a Staples store.

Fourteen packs of post-it notes. Fourteen packs with four pads in each. Multi-colored.

Candles, scented plug-in refills, video equipment, 5 desktop computers, extra light bulbs, 3 boxes of tools, too many clothes hangars to count…

A crow bar?

Will someone please clean me out? Rob me. Take at least half of what I own. I’ll pay you to haul it away.

I want to be able to fit everything I own into a medium-sized car.

Dog and cats included.

Okay, maybe not including the 50-inch television.

Or surround sound system.

Or Keurig coffee maker.

Or video projector.

See? I have a real problem.
