Redundancy
I suffer from redundancy among many other things. Not only in the things I say and talk about. But also the things that I do. If one is good then two, three or four would be much better. We can usually justify this under the term of collections or hobbies.
For me take bicycles for instance. I have four. As I talked about in an earlier post two is probably the right number. When I got into bicycling again I went wild about getting bikes. Learning basic repair and upkeep. Just jumped in head first. Then I also thought that I could put this great little group together and have some fun rides.This little grand plan has never came through. But I do have the bikes all ready to go in good shape. About 15 spare tires for all the different bikes. Overkill again. The bike magazines say you can't have too many bikes. That is because they sell bikes. It is not if I am going to take a ride. But which one to ride. Extra storage, maintenance and another decision.
I have done the same thing with golf clubs, sunglasses, stereo equipment, watches,shoes, clothes and bunches of other things. After the either wears off you just have a bunch of redundant material things that have cost you money. It does however keep you occupied if you do not have anything else to do and no one to do it with. All the stuff in the world cannot change the fact that I am just a little creep without social skills that most people do not want to be around. I know that sometimes I have given or tried to give things to people and that would either not accept it or have almost had to force it upon them. Which makes the good deed another point of unhappiness.
So you can just hang out with your stuff and have fun with it. Do not try to bother anyone. Do your job as well as you can. Face the facts. Also try to behave yourself and not get in trouble. Too much stuff will not keep you happy for very long. If you a person that carries debt all that money and effort could have went towards getting rid of some of that debt. In the long run freedom from debt and obligations will make you happier that a bunch of the same things which will only make you happy for a little while.
Well since no one has called or stopped by I'll just hang out with my stuff. Maybe even check out my credit card balances from the stuff. And have a nice little evening.
