Dove Day? 5 comments

16 Sep 2006 @ 19:10, by swanny Sept. 17, 2006 Canada Saturday Hey there Need some assistance... New concept... Here's what happened... I, Alfie, on or around hmmmm well I guess it was Sept. 13, 2006 , cleaned out and trashed the rubish and then piled up the stuff that was sort of good and had value but that I hadn't really been using or was going to use and phoned a new and used business and more or less gave it away. I made a reciept and we exchanged a small sum $5.00 to make it legal on my insistance but I suppose I just let go of about $1000 or so of stuff. Well heres the concept sort of you've got to make room for things or people or feelings to enter your life. Otherwise they can't if you've got to much clutter. It doesn't appear to be working but thats okay. Better to be rid of and "gift it" now and have someone else enjoy and use it than for it to sit there and possess me or my space until I die. what the hey. There was a top hat, some of my artwork, cds, video tapes, 2 vcrs, a clock radio, 2 bags of clothes, 10 years worth of accumulated books and a bookself, a 16 speed mountain bike etc. etc. and well I could just sense the glee in the young business persons persona thinking he'd scored on a senile old man... and well whatever. Its gone and I'm still alive and breathin and happy to make someone happy by takin away my old memories because in a way all that stuff was reminding me of rather bad times and spaces and now its out doin whatever. Anyway I thought well its not a great concept, not like paying it forward or a potlatch cause I got about 5 cents on the $10.00 or so but... well it has potential. Now maybe he'll have to free up some of his stuff and have a sale that will benefit someone less fortuneate. No sense me having stuff and junk just for the sake of having too much stuff. I know they say the one with the most toys wins but whatever. Well I suppose you have to be a bit crazy and whatever to do it but it sure has made the place a little more roomier and more friendly somehow. I mean I feel less possessed by the things left and more the possesser. Anyway a tentative name for this perhaps every 5 year ritual on Sept 13, might be "Dove Day" or well I thought "redistribution day" not sure or maybe just "Crazy Day" because I suppose it is a bit crazy and doesn't appear to have to much benefit except for $5.00 and a roomier space but there ya go. Sir Ed Ps by the way don't contact me if you want some other stuff cause I already "gave at home".
