I don’t remember from whence I procured this ludicrous mousepad but it is no longer in da house. As is my wont I find that I cannot throw something away without photographing it, adding to my ever-increasing accumulation. I am a digital hoarder, and it has come to a point where my mind is drowning under the weight of it all. I cannot decide what piece of content to do anything with and what to ignore, since all of it must be relevant and important, right?
Yeah, right.
Happy Mousepad
Throwing things away, again, as I finally buckled under the accumulating weight of objects, especially computer-related junk like old hard drives, CDs and DVDs, and other garbage. I’ve planned to take much of it to the e-waste place but today I decided to just dissect some things, such as floppy discs, especially ones where I don’t know what is on them and would not want anyone to find out for me.
I procured a USB floppy disk drive last year but found that putting in all those ancient pieces of media somehow messed with my computer. But that was the old one. Maybe this new one can handle it. Hmm. There are disks around that I would like to get back into, though I assume I backed that stuff up long ago.
I don’t know, maybe it’s all more evidence that I cannot stop spinning my wheels and should just make an abrupt change in my life. I heard someone say that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. That sounds like my situation to a T (whatever that means). But then I don’t wholly agree with the sentiment. If I play a piano piece over and over it will sound different from one turn to the next. With regard to practicing there is no doubt that repetition gets results.
But I guess the quote addresses manic behaviors akin to stalking or blind pursuit, such as I am quite capable. Not the stalking, mind you, but I’ve seen in myself certain behaviors that, if I let them run to an unfiltered extreme, would probably lead to something like that. My intentions are always good, though.
I’m going to walk around the room a few more times and decide not to do some more things.
