Random Access Memories

So a long-time friend of mine has published his first book on Amazon. I’ll give him a shameless plug here. 🙂

It’s kind of odd to look around my apartment and see all the things that I don’t need. Or all the things connected to a pastime I do not indulge in anymore.

I guess I need to take a shovel to the place and do a purge. I also need to reevaluate my list of enjoyments. Kind of funny how the “what” matters much less now and the “who”, “where”, “when” and “why” are critical. I think that might violate some law of US materialism, but I think I can live with that.

I realized recently that I was using my “powers” of solving problems or fixing things to try to make up for my lack of social skills. Which tends to go over relatively well, especially when people need their computer fixed. But the outlay of materials, time and money on projects where the interest is minor and the fulfillment is unlikely has been one of my major failures.

Interesting, so interesting.
