    I DID IT FOR YOU DAD

    "I'll probably get the shit trolled out of me. Whatever. I didn't share this for myself. Or to get advice. I did it for you assholes that for whatever bizarre reason, I keep talking to. We give each other a lot of shit, and we act like we know everything and everyone else is wrong, but ultimately, most of us are a lot alike. And I know from listening to your opinions on things that several of you are in the same boat I am, or have not always been as happy as you are. I know that several of you are not following through. You feel unfulfilled. You got that monster at your back."

    Everyone did what I expected.

    I got what I needed out of the thought process. If people here would rather troll than get something positive out of my taco/rum fueled ramblings, that is their business.

    I don't know if I really want to go into the difference between an enriching hobby and an empty one. I'd like to think that is kind of obvious.

    Dicking off and not doing things that enrich your life? Well cut them out. Play too many games? Cut them out. Read too many comics? Stop reading comics. Watch too much tv? Unhook the tv. Etc, etc.
    I'm sure you realized this but the problems were never the things, which is why cutting them out didn't help.
    Ok, so in each situation, I've cut out the bad, so everything should be fixed? Right? Nope. I never stick with anything long enough. Or to be more exact, I try to do everything. I do a little of this. Then I go do a little of that. I never get "great" at anything. At least not in regards to my own goals. Not according to my own standards for myself.
    This is likely because you are "great" at being a nerd because you must enjoy toys/games/whatever otherwise you wouldn't have followed that path in life. And forcing yourself to do something you perceive as more enriching when you don't enjoy it as much as the old hobbies you have forsaken is a sure fire way to be frustrated and unhappy. I must admit the word enriching is tripping me up. What exactly do you mean by it?

    Also hobbies you enjoy are important, but it doesn't matter how many you have if you aren't fulfilled by them. I don't find hobbies to be particularly fulfilling a lot of fun but hobbies alone aren't enough. And if you feel like you're wasting your life on distractions, you likely are. You have to ask yourself what it is that you think will make your life worth living.

    Who is talking about throwing things away?
  9. Fe 26's Avatar
    I don't understand the 20 something impulse to throw away and get rid of things when it comes time to move. Example. at the end of the semester, kids chunk new notebooks, art pads, text books and stuff. Back when I lived in the dorm I would go by and grab the stuff. Use the notebooks and put the books on half.com

    I'm not saying there are never good reasons to get rid of stuff. Sometimes it is not an option. Sometimes you do not have the room to store it, or you do not have the time or money to move it.

    But most of the time it seems like laziness. I can't help but feel bad for the parents that spent money on it, or kids that might want it.

    I'm not saying be a hoarder. Just don't be wasteful. I mean shit, I have given stuff away. I got some movie transformers one year at a surplus store. When I got fired and had to move in two days, I boxed them up and gave them to a friends two little boys.


    I'm also glad I saved a lot of stuff. I made about 2000USD for my trip to Germany and London by selling stuff I had kept but no longer wanted. Had I simply thrown that crap away, I would not have been able to invest it into my education or traveling.

    A couple of years back I got rid of just about all my toys - I was moving around a lot and just couldn't stomach the thought of carrying around anymore stuff. I gave the things to people here and there, a couple of exes got a lot of it. But now I miss a lot of the stuff and have devoted a lot of time and money to rebuilding my collection of stuff. Now I sort of have the idea that if I see something I really want, i'll just get it and store it...just so I feel that I acquired it and can stop thinking about it. In some cases, I'm REALLY happy I did that. In other cases, I feel like I stretch bought something and it wasn't something I was super attached to.

    But you guys are doing that thing you do, where you pick some mundane thing said and go off into left field.

    This blog is not about toys or if it is smart to own a few or many things.

    Its about setting clear goals and finishing them. The amount of shit in your house is really non-relevant. Assuming you are not one of those hoarders that has dead cats under boxes of magazines.

    KOF, yeah, don't be a completionest. Well, I guess you can do it if you make 200k a year. Most of the time, it is just a waste of time and money.

    And don't be the guy with several shelves of toys. They can be fun, but come, on, keep a room livable. Mix it up. Buy some books. Get some hobbies.

    I packed up all my TFers (a few boxes) and put them in storage. Like I said, it is a lot but compared to most, it is actually not very many. I just want to trim down my collection to the ones I really like (Masterpiece, Fan made custom pieces, G1/remakes, etc).

    In any case, as long as you don't let it become an obsession and collect everything, I think that's okay. I used to collect videogames and buy stupid old classic shit (Hello Fairchild). Thank god I moved to NYC with very little room so I sold off most of my stuff and only kept the games I would play again. Which reminds me, time to do another sale on some old accessories and PS1/2 games.

    Getting rid of stuff can be a waste of time. Will it really help? Is it really whats in the way? Are you so weak that some shit in your house is really what is stopping you?

    I'm not saying this to antagonize, but to point out that we often put extra conditions on ourselves before we finally get off our butt and start things or finish things. We say to ourselves

    "I will get started once I reorganize all this stuff"
    "I will get started after I clean this room"
    'I will get started after i read all this stuff and can get it perfect"

    You never get rid of all the stuff, get the room fully clean, or have read everything. Sometimes you have to stop being a perfectionist and just get started.


    btw, King, if you want to sale that crap without getting hit with fees, put them on TFW2005 market place. Those guys are pretty good about sending paypal payments as gifts. There is no point in keeping shit you don't really like. I might buy it if it is G1. I try to stay away from the new stuff.
