Neanderpundit

I have all my life been a packrat. I have built a nest for myself which leaves me surrounded by piles of books, racks of guns, CD’s, actual record albums, newspaper clippings, furniture which should have been retired ages ago, broken electronics (which,while I’m capable of repairing them, I tend not to) and the collected effluvia of a half century of weapons grade packrattiness.

I’m done.

I have a core of books I love, and read often, and they are mixed amidst literally thousands of others. I will find new homes for the thousands, and cherish the few.

I have a round handful of rifles and shotguns with no intrinsic nor sentimental value. I have a handful of rifles and shotguns that are dear to me.I will find new homes for the odd, and cherish the few.

I have a lot of crap in my life, and it constitutes an albatross. I have had it all hanging around my neck for far too long. In upcoming months I will be making every effort to make my house more Ikea and less Paper Street Soap Company. I want my home to be less cluttered and more what I want and need. I want to surround myself with less chewed up newspaper and scrap, and more first edition and burl walnut. Organization has always been my strong point- for everyone else. I need to turn my attention for detail inward and use it at home, and make this a place where I want to be and where I am comfortable entertaining.

The last ten years, the first of a new millenia, have been rough on us all; 2010 looks to be the worst year (for the world) in my life. I intend to make it my best personal year, and do things uncharacteristic for me.

One of the changes I have made, is to begin to use Quicken. If you’re not doing this, you might want to consider it. I’ve never been good at keeping my own finances straight, and this has put me right on the edge. I know just what I need and where it’s going.

None of it is good, but at least I know.

While those of you who drink prepare for the bacchanalia tomorrow night, I have a few links (in a tradition I started a few years back)
Anyway. Here’s a roundup of some merely strange and some definitely nsfw links for 09.
