Spring cleaning is normally for the home, right? Well consider this a spring cleaning of the soul.

Old ass shit that has no business taking up space in my drawers.
Honestly... if you're even the tiniest bit like myself, you find yourself putting away old ass crap like cell phone chargers for a cell phone you either broke or sold (or just plain don't have anymore; whatever the reason may be). Maybe you have letters from old girlfriends (like the "one that got away") even though you are quite literally "over" the entire thing and now remember only the good things that helped shape your character for what it is now. Stuff like that deserves to go. Seriously, what good comes of keeping it?

Ok, I can see how some might say, "but David- those are memories that I might not have when I'm an old man/lady. That's why I need to save that stuff. Just like your mother has the photo album with you wandering around the house naked because it's cute when naked babies can walk (I never understood that. Everyone of my family member and even some ex-girlfriends and friends and whatnot have that one [or sometimes even more] picture(s) of nude exploration).

Well, to these people I can give only one bit of advice. If you are reading this right now, it is obvious to me that you are technologically adept enough write on as well as search for things like this blog on a computer. So if you can write and this isn't being shown to you by your grandson- take those old letters from ex-girlfriends, take those old angst-ridden poems you wrenched from your broken heart, find those love letters from your very first (and probably very disastrous) first girlfriend... take all those old "I might forget when I get old" memories you're pack-ratting away and copy them to your computer. Save those documents on your hard disk drive and then burn them to a blank CD labeled "Precious Memories". Then through away those worn out sheets of paper. Congratulations. The spring cleaning of your soul has been a success! Enjoy the newfound space!

Yeah, the only thing this map doesn't show you is that I made it ALLLLLLLLL the way around the world! I have an extremely deep well when it comes to patience. I can put up with traffic very easily (with or without music). Ever since I could remember, I used to love going for a drive to just about anywhere.

As it stands I travel into another county 3 times a week just to go to school! If you think that's no big deal....

A few years ago when I was living here in Los Angeles, my girlfriend was attending a University in San Diego. At the time I was working close to my house at a really cool job. Sometimes my boss would give me two days off back to back. Guess what I did EVERY time I got those two consecutive days off? Yep, you're good...

I DROVE MY ASS TO SAN DIEGO!! I was doing this so many times a month that eventually I just ended up moving out there for a couple of years.

So yeah... I would tolerate a long day of travel only it wouldn't be a burden to me. It would be an adventure. >;-)
