This blog is loosely centered around the idea that, to quote the King of All Cosmos, the world is full of things, many of these things are "owned" by someone, and those things have stories around and in them. Also, as a sort of a conceptual coda, there is also the idea that most people in the well-to-do West have too many things and should probably get rid of them. Wendel Barry has probably written about this somewhere.
I intially wanted to create a blog so that I could discuss (likely with no one but myself) the media that I own, having a sort of running conversation and even a debate, perhaps in the process, purging myself of things that I neither need nor actually want. Thus, that is what I'll be doing, most of the time, focussing on physical media, that is. I shall acknowledge out front that I likely have too much of just about everything, including books and CDs. But, I do not neccesarily think that a life of divestiture is the key to a happy life, although having a reasonable relationship with your things is an important step in the right direction. To quote another King who looked upon His creation: "It is good."
Anyhow, welcome and enjoy your stay, looking through all of our things.Stephen_, Introduction_
