I just watched a documentary on the "tiny house" movement. It's always been an idea that has fascinated me, discarding everything that can't fit inside a less and 300 sq ft space is something that I believe this society greatly needs. The importance placed on material possessions is something that would have seemed insane 100 years ago.
Of course there are millions of things that have changed in the last 100 years but that makes the tiny house movement no less appealing. Allison and I moved from a one bedroom to a two bedroom apartment about three months ago. It's been nice to have a nicer and more comfortable space but it's amazing how much junk two people can accumulate. Several pieces of furniture, tv's, boxes full of clothes and too many useless trinkets to count.
Why is it so hard to get rid of things I haven't used in years?
New years resolution (gotta write it down so I don't forget)
- Live simply (get ride of all my excess clothes, possessions, etc)
- Exercise more regularly (cliche I know but I need to do it)
- Eat healthier (Allison and I have been shopping mainly at farmers markets these days but my vegetable and fruit intake is not only low but also pretty unexciting)
- Finish projects (I have ADD and while I really enjoy getting excited about new projects and seeing what I can do, unfortunately I have a low completion rate with is always extremely frustrating)
I've definitely taken a step in the right direction but it's going to be a hard road to really getting better. Life will always be a struggle but the only options are to keep moving or give up.
What I've worked as- An art teacher, kids hockey coach, lifeguard, salesman, dog walker, messenger, set builder, cashier, prop maker, and basically an office bitch.
What I work at- Becoming a better climber, environmentalist, cook, friend, craftsman, artist, brother, son and boyfriend.
The career I chose is not nearly as important as what I do after my shift is done.
It’s strange to find yourself missing someone, then realize they’ve changed over the years. So the person you miss doesn’t exist anymore.
My friend Alex asked me to draw out his next tattoo, of Boba Fett. I was pretty excited when he asked me to and even more excited after finding out Chicago was going to be getting the George Lucas Museum :)
Just picked up some frames at a sale. I feel much classier now
This is ridiculous.
Why do all the black hash tags no longer exist?
And yet we still have all of these…
You have some explaining to do staff
I live for the outdoors but pound the city pavement. My wife and I wish our cat and dog would get along.
