Save me a little square on the landfill

Some of you know I'm sorting through a lot of my stuff these days, throwing away a bunch of crap that I can't even remember why I decided to keep in the first place if I'm to be honest. I can't help to think at this point that about 95% of the things that are in this home of ours are just fluff.

In other words, they didn't make my life any better, yet I held on to them for years and years waiting for the day they would swoop in and get me out of a pickle. If you are a bit of a techie like me, you know exactly what I'm talking about. "Oh.. wait, this are the little screws for the floppy drive units... lemme save those just in case" - In case of what??? I go back to floppies?

This man cave of mine seems to be full of silly things like this. Just yesterday I found a collection of old guitar strings. I mean, they seem semi-ok, they could be used I guess. But, you know why I kept them? You know why I've been storing them? Well... because if I popped one string and needed just to get one happening to keep on jamming I would not have to open up a brand new package. However, I've never done that..... ever!

There goes another trash bag full of stuff I don't need, and never did. I kind of feel guilty though, all the debris that has my name attached to it, that will probably end up in a landfill somewhere. What's the choice? I have no clue at this point. I just gotta make sure they save me a little spot just for me...
