Poor Old Dude

I haven't been feeling real well lately, which in part is why I haven't been posting. It's hard to come up with things to say when you feel like crap, but putting that aside. When I'm not feeling well I tend to spend more time on the computer and in front of the TV than normal. One of the things I tend to watch/listen to are the many paranormal radio programs on YouTube. They tend to be entertaining, mindless ways to kill time and well are a little bit of a guilty pleasure. So anyway what I have noticed is a strange coincidence, when ever I happen to select one of these shows on "shadowpeople" I invariably run into some technical problem that prevents me from watching it. I know sounds like hogwash right? but it's true I can watch/listen to shows on ghosts, no problem. Vampires, no problem. Demons, UFOs, witchcraft etc. etc. etc. but shadowpeople big problem. Do I give this any mystical meaning, well not really, but I do find it kind of strange.

As a culture this seems to be a skill we lost, we all seem to be collectors of something. Even those involved in prepping and survival pursuits seem to be in the constant act of acquiring stuff. I personally know how hard it is to give up your stuff and just how much of our "identity" is connected to our stuff. Not that long ago I was forced to go from a large two bedroom, two bath, kitchen, living room, dinning room, with storage apartment, to a one room studio. It was traumatic to give up so much of the stuff I had collected, and this was under what could be considered normal conditions not in a emergency situation where it could be a mater of life and death. So my advise today, for what it's worth, is prepare yourself to give up your stuff, develop a mindset that will allow you to quickly translate to a minimalist should the need arise. Bottom line, if you can't carry it, you just don't need it.
