For those asking about this, I don’t remember why I refused, but it was in the middle of Covid when all the administrators were sitting on their asses at home, while we were routinely working do...

Can't get away from neighbors.

Over the years, I have mentioned several times having issues with neighbors. Nothing major, just that some were noisy, nosy, or annoying. So you’d think I would get a break now that I’m in the m...


I took to large garbage bags, filled halfway with nick nacks shit to throw out at work. It’s a drop in the bucket as to all the shit I still need to throw out, but it’s a start. I also cleaned...

Weigh in and gym.

I did my first of the month weigh in yesterdays afternoon. 171.4 pounds. So in about two and a half months I’m down about 45 pounds. Went to the gym yesterday for an hour and a half.

Nope

No gym yesterday or today, it’s my day off. Tomorrow back to work and I might be getting laid, so that makes day three without gym. I did buy some fresh slamon filets for lunch and dinner. I know...

Might be a hard day.

Yeah pun intended. Day 17, and woke up with a happy boner. Thirty years ago that was a common thing, but these days it is something to celebrate. I mean I get the occasional full mast, but this...

How about that.

I was just searching through old entries, looking for a picture of myself to post here (friends only of course) and came on to an old entry from two years ago, dated August 25, 2014. It was tit...

Abandoned.

A movie about four people being stuck on an overturned fancy little, tripe hulled yacht, for 118 days. Based on a true story. I only rented it to have a movie to watch last night, and didn’t...

Clutter buster!

I decided to declutter my nasty tiny closet in the apartment. I want to be the kid with the least amount of stuff on my block. Yes, I do realize the hypocrisy of saying that, after my last ent...


I think we’ve been doing it wrong folks. What most of us try to do is sort out things to throw out, but it occurred to me that instead for those that really want to go minimalist, what we sh...

Ok, tomorrow for sure

I have to get back to this thing. Today I was up at the place again took my friend up there to see what he thinks. He likes it. Maybe a bit too much lol


October 24, 2015

Oht ohh.

Yeah, been working past midnight the last two days, haven’t tossed anything. Will catch up tomorrow, because I aint going to work.

I’m seriously starting to think that I’m not going to be able to complete this challenge. I’m on day 10, with a total of 55 items tossed, and I have 20 more days to go. I was looking reall...

Photobucket plus.

Photobucket, with it’s gazillions of advertisements was a major pain in the ass to use daily, so I took a chance and paid like $29 for a year subscription. It works much faster now, and is very...

Due to a super crazy, hectic day yesterday I didn’t get to the challenge (yeah yet once again) but this time I’m doubling up, which is why I have two posts in one day on this thing.

I already took two large wolf pictures outside, since it’s garbage day tomorrow, so the picture only has six items. Also, sadly, kitty has to go for the sake of the challenge, since I’m running ...

I know there are eight items here, but I’m not throwing out the pink lighter. Just found it amusing that I would find it in that shirt. I don’t remember buying either one. These 7 items, ma...

Had to take a break from the challenge, since I wasn’t home most of the time during the past week. At one point, I was going to make up what I failed to throw out, and toss the amount of stuff ...

Thoughts thus far.

I’m feeling lighter already. If my calculations are correct, I’ve only tossed fifteen items total, but it’s already made a big difference. Some things that have been waiting around to be “P...

After this, cabinet at the bottom of the sink only has garbage bags, and a few scouring pads. The Iron and that electric frier works, but not well enough to allow them to take up from my persona...

4. (Bit of a cheat)

Since I didn’t spend the night at home last night, I had to cheat a bit, and double up on things to throw out today, but will post them as two separate days, to keep the flow going. But the da...

A relatively new wireless blue tooth headphone from Amazon that I couldn’t figure out how to work, and never care to. A t-shirt that keeps falling on my head, that will probably never fit me agai...

Here we have a small crappy cologne bottle of some kind that’s been sitting in the medicine cabinet for ever, and a razor that I don’t plan on using again, since I order mine from online now tha...

This is about four years old. It’s a bottle of Georgio Armani cologne, that cost me an arm and a leg when I bought it. But it’s old, (still smells ok though), and there’s about one third of ...

Book Description

One of my friends on here, was saying that she is trying a 30 day de-clutter challenge, and I felt inspired. So I will try it myself.
Basically, you throw out one item on day one, two items on day two, three items on day for, and so on. By the end of the 30 days, you’ve have thrown out something like 475 items. (Do the math for the exact number, or check out this link) http://www.telegraph.co.uk/lifestyle/wellbeing/11348731/How-to-throw-out-465-possessions-in-a-month.html

In my case, I expect it to be smooth sailing until around day 10 or so. I don’t think that I have all that many things to throw out, but I will do it, even if I’m getting rid of some things that really hurt.

I will not count regular garbage stuff, paper, or cardboard. Pretty much just solid SHIT stuff.

I will also post a picture on each day of what I’m throwing out.
