Catch Up From The Crazy Shenanigans of The Summer

Well July was a busy month.

Quick recap - shit happened.

Long story longer - a lot of shit happened.

Got the heads up that my room became available in August and I can start to move in. I did, and it has been crazy unpacking since then. Trying to scrunch down a 2 bedroom apartment that I had mildly decorated down to a bedroom and shared living space is damn near impossible. I had a huge gaming collection, a huge comic collection, and a huge book collection. I smartly made the decision to go digital for 95% of it.

I had 4 3-shelf book shelves and one 5 shelf bookcase that were all filled at my old place. After sorting between good ones to ebay and the others to donate/garage sale, I now have less than a three shelf amount of books. This is a good thing, as I put them all on the 5 shelf book case and am slowly finding things to fill in the spaces. I'm going to have to find more stuff to put in there, as I expect to get rid of much more of it.

With the comic collection, I have all the photos of the remaining comics to sell, leaving me with a short box of comics left after a collection of 10-12 long boxes, if I combined the short ones together. I have most of the Batman books and the Flash books to go, about 3 long boxes left. I plan on getting some special cases for the remaining comics in order to be able to put them in those cases and fit them perfectly on the bookshelf, thus eliminating all comic boxes out of my possession.

For the video games, I have 2 mini 7 shelf media things that they are all stored in. About one whole case I am getting rid of, and probably chop some more after a bit. I'm on a plan that if I haven't played a game in a year then out the window it goes. It also helps that I'm taking the 13 systems I have and dwindling them down to 4 - the Dreamcast, Wii, Nes, and purchasing a Retron 5. The Wii is eventually going  to be homebrew'd, thus allowing me to have a bunch of old roms all on the system eliminating the need for physical copies of the games.

Books, comics, and video games all are getting trimmed down. I am simply amazed.

There was also an incident that happened in July that I will get around to talking about someday. Not now, but soon.

I've been out and about, spending less time on myself and more time with others. I'm going to get around to writing the continuing story of dating apps and the city, dabbling a little in to Pokemon Go, and talking through some of the other road blocks that have prevented me from taking the time each day to sit down and write. I don't know why I spend so much time on things that don't help me to advance who I am as a person instead of spinning wheels. I could always find an excuse to be entertained, or be entertaining, but I ant to focus on personal growth sometime.

BTW, I have to mention the wings competition sometime. That will be a good story to tell as well.

Another day will be here soon, and I will be back with more.
