Reclaiming Space

As of last week I have lived down here for 3.5 years.  I have a two bedroom apartment in which 1 of the rooms has never been used for anything as storage.  This is fine, although it has been rather unorganized.

I started reclaiming my kitchen last month after my dad helped me get things a little cleaned up as Amazon boxes had taken over.  I know have space to move around where the table is and can actual get to the cabinet where I still have to remember that I put food in there.

One of the things that was added to the kitchen was the rolling cabinet that had been in the spare bedroom since I moved down here.  It was no easy task getting it out as it was behind a wall of boxes.  I had to actually make a U around the room to get to it and then get it out.  Couldn't roll it out though because there was no space to do that.  Had to carry it out and sadly it wasn't very light.

Had a done just the little bit that I did today it would have been easier, although the space where I started moving things too was occupied by the cabinet itself.  I moved some boxes up against the back wall and now have a space to the back wall by the window without it looking like I'm trying to sneak through a lazer security system.

My goal is to get some space so that I can move my exercise bike into the room and the other exercise equipment that I have picked up.  I'll probably get a small TV and put that in there too and hook up some of my older systems to that.

All of that could be a little ambitious though as I have no idea if I'll be able to clean up enough space to do that.  Hopefully at least some space will be found in the room and it can finally have a purpose to it besides a storage room.

The Early Years

When I was born my parents lived in a mobile home in Hilbert, WI.  They had a cat before I was born and it didn't take to kindly to having me around all of a sudden.  They had to get rid of it as it had a tendency of trying to sleep on my face, which a baby tries enough to kill itself when it's young but having a cat, unintentionally I'm sure, trying to help with it wasn't good.  After awhile they decided they needed a bigger house and rented one in Bay Ridge which is in Appleton, WI.  They didn't actually sell the mobile home, but rented it instead so they were able to make some money from that as well as their jobs. My earliest memory was when I was three and I was playing with some Matchbox cars on the floor in the morning and my mom in a rush to get to work accidentally stepped on one of my favorite cars, crushing it.  An odd memory to be your first, but none the less that's what it is.  My best friend while living there was a girl name Ashley.  ...

Opening My Mouth

When I was younger and getting bullied, one of the things I was encouraged to do was talk to the guidance counselor.  Normally this is a good thing to do.  If you're in trouble you should talk to someone that can help. Now, I won't say it's the counselor's fault, but talking to her did not help at all.  In fact all it really did was cause everything to get worse.  At some point I just stopped talking.  I made some changes, got some payback, and the one time it started happening during my Freshman year, I didn't last too long before taking matters into my own hands (well fist). The one thing that I (unfortunately) learned from that was that saying how I feel is a bad thing.  I know I've most likely talked about this before, but it is really important.  It's something that has never really disproven itself over my life. I take the 2 instances I've told someone that I like them.  Yes, there are only two instances that this has happened.  Both...

Thanos Was Right

Spoilers for Avengers Infinity War Below First off, a movie is a movie.  It's fake, and even when it's based on true events it is still fake.  But sometimes you see something about a movie and it makes you think about the modern world and human nature and it kind of makes you think.  Avengers Infinity War would not really be one of those movies but then I saw this article and I actually had to disagree with it. The article argues that Thanos' solution of eliminating half of the universe's population was a plot hole.  If he had ultimate power, why wouldn't he just double all of the resources?  The simple answer is that the movie needed a villian and Thanos was already established, and though he did it because some lady didn't want him (that lady being Death) in the comics, they still gave him a good "evil" reason to do it in the movie.  He witnessed his planet destroy itself as it exhausted its resources even after he warned them that it was going ...
