roll up, roll up - all gotta go.
i’m deadly serious. i’ve a house i do not want, i have stuff in that house i do not want, i have technology and bits and pieces i do not want. sure i can put some stuff on freecycle but some of the stuff i need to sell, make some money back to fund the next chapter of my life. You see, i’ve decided that i need no longer a big house or to rent a flat - i cannot afford one anyway, something i have learnt over the last few years as i burnt most of my monthly wages on bricks and mortar that are worth shit now.
I want to live on a camping site or a piece of land in a motorhome. I want to learn how to be able to drive and park, explore and see. wind down and focus and have clarity, listen to nature and not the television set. be plugged into the matrix but then open my door to the countryside. that sounds perfect to me. I no longer require my mind to index what stuff i have in this house all these bits and pieces of ‘modern’ living that i never use.
the breadmaker, the deep fryers, the wine racks and the tables and chairs that rarely get sat on. I see a new eco me, i see a more local and organized me - i feel i have to spread that local message break that mould of people worrying when something is free or bartered, get back to that england when a handshake was a mans bond of trust.
So yeah, that is where i am at. I’m putting the house up, desk, television, computers, tech, tables and chairs and all the other bits of stuff that we populate our brains with that makes us call it ‘home’ - that deflated feeling you get when you walk back through the door when you have been away alerting you to the fact that everything is the same as it every was. the cosy prefab ideal and notion that your home is your kingdom. the place that if you eventually becoming paranoid to leave will become your tomb. sounds crap right? - i’m done with brick and mortar. matching cups and plates and all the bumf that comes with the ideals of ‘living’ - expect to see small blog posts with pictures of things for sale or swap over the coming days, weeks and months
