i do this a lot but i am a huge pussy so yknow

i mean, i guess "burning all your shit" or something since you probably couldnt sell it all in the middle of the night

maybe i meant "selling most of your shit and then leaving town..."

MIDNIGHT FIRE SALE
appletree - 7/2/09, 8:23 pm
I did this. It was liberating.
loveoneanother - 7/2/09, 8:24 pm
i need to go somewhere where the only things in my room are a guitar and a notebook. a pen would be helpful too
appletree - 7/2/09, 8:26 pm

loveoneanother - 7/2/09, 8:27 pm

I used to fantasize about doing this and moving to Colorado or Wyoming. Someday.

maybe you shouldn't force it. have you ever tried meditating on a regular basis? it sounds like you are putting too much pressure on yourself.
loveoneanother - 7/2/09, 8:30 pm
i am impatient, that's all

i have tried meditating but i think i'm doing it wrong

I did this -- I withdrew from school and made vague plans to get stolen in S. america. Mom stopped me via phone and now I'm not allowed to read Walden anymore
appletree - 7/2/09, 8:33 pm
you should try guided meditations. there's a bunch free on itunes. I like meditation oasis. though if you do it while lying down you will def fall asleep.
loveoneanother - 7/2/09, 8:35 pm
lol @ walden

appletree - yeah maybe if athena brings her computer back from philly. i'm on an itunes-less wonder from 1995
appletree - 7/2/09, 8:38 pm
woah. wow!
loveoneanother - 7/2/09, 8:39 pm
shit is primitive. it's on an endtable next to my NES in the living room, which is sitting on top of my vhs player. no joke

this may be what i will do in the end.
thedeathofsid - 7/2/09, 8:59 pm
i find the most helpful meditation to be the kind where you just focus on breathing. breath in while counting to 7, hold for 7, exhale for 7. Just focus on the counting and breathing and it will help empty your mind.

my mind is too much of a clusterfuck to empty.
appletree - 7/2/09, 9:04 pm
it's not necessary to empty the mind.

head bang to forget. head bang the pain away.
thedeathofsid - 7/2/09, 9:12 pm
Well, I like to.

I'm pretty much going to do this at some point this year.

I've lost all interest in everyone and everything here and I need to start over.
appletree - 7/2/09, 9:24 pm
I don't think it's a bad thing at all, of course! But sometimes people think they *have* to and that if they don't, they are meditating "wrong." I just mean to say that it isn't a requirement. :)
chrisd - 7/2/09, 9:25 pm
just do it
ryanz - 7/2/09, 9:44 pm
just did it
wwd - 7/2/09, 9:55 pm
I used to want to do this. now I want to go somerwhere else but not until i'm ready and try to still own things.
tim - 7/2/09, 9:59 pm
ben, if you move away with only a guitar and a notebook, i will sell your stuff at the yardsale i might have soon and send you the money.

but, keep your cellphone. you have a cellphone, right?
loveoneanother - 7/2/09, 10:03 pm
yeah i have a 1st gen razor ;P

i probably wont do this. i mean, i think athena and i will move sometime after she is out of school next year, but there's a lot of folks here i'd like to hang out with more, and i want to give playing music in boston a fair shake again, really bust ass locally

plus i do half of this (sell/donate a bunch of crap i don't need) every now and then, and it's refreshing enough to postpone rash decisions

much respect to ryanz for living the dream though!
tim - 7/2/09, 10:08 pm
i had a 1st gen rzr, but it died. now i have a much older phone

chrisd - you are a capital gentleman, good luck if you decide to do this. otherwise, hopefully i will maybe see you occasionally
