What is my stuff and what is just stuff
Sunday, July 5, 2009 by Mac Senour
This last weekend I moved from a big storage space to a smaller storage space. And I wonder about all that stuff up there. Do I really need any of it?
A friend of mine puts things in a box in her garage by the door. If she's not opened it in a year, she gets rid of it.... donates it or gives it away. I'm WAY to much of a pack rat for that. I have books that if I can find them I donate them. But I also have chairs, way to many chairs. I must have lived in a place where no one sat because I went overboard with chairs. I have stools for a bar I don't own. I gotta defend them as that several times I have lived in places that had a kitchen with a big counter that was made for tall stools.
Now, I also have a single stool that I bought to fit with my drawing table... but it doesn't really fit.
And right after I bought that chair... I found on Craigslist a dential hygentist chair for $25 which was a much better fit, but I still have that chair too. Sitting will never ever be a problem at my place. With so many chairs, standing might be a problem.
But that's not really all that's in there... I have cards from the card game I published. Even if I get rid of everything else, those cards will be sticking around with me. Do you have children or, in my case, relatives with kids? They love to hold on to your leg and rise it as you try to walk. That's how these cards are for me. Only... they won't ever grow up.
So the big question that i feel I have to answer here is... why haven't I started filming.
I'm scared. I want to try it several times on my won, without disturbing folks to see what I can do and how to do it. I think I won't have 2 or 3 or more chances at this, I need to do it right. I want to make my mistakes on my own without involing other people.
I know that sounds logical, but mostly I'm just scared. Its a search for something that I'm not sure I want to find... but I know its out there.
