Slow Blogging/House Cleaning

May 28, 2009 by GayPatriotWest

One of my closest friends is organizing a yard sale for this Saturday and has invited some of her friends to participate.  Seeing that as an opportunity to clean out some of the clutter in my apartment, I started to go through my closets, cabinets and cupboards.  It was amazing how stuff accumulates.

Within 30 minutes, I had six pairs of jeans to sell, 10 pairs of khakis, seems I hadn’t sorted through those pants since sometime in the early 1990s.  I found a pair of pants I hadn’t worn since 1994 or 95–and to think I moved that pair clear across the country!  While it’s exciting at first when you find things to give away, after a while, it becomes exhausting, especially if you want to keep insist on holding onto things with sentimental (but not practical) value.

I even found an old coffee maker.  Instead of getting rid of it when I replaced it, I simply moved it to a kitchen cabinet. . . . And I still have yet to dispose of my vintage microwave.

If any of you Angelenos are in need of cheap stuff, you’ll have to check us out. . .

Here are the details:

This coming Saturday May 30 from 8am-3pm as the corner of Cahuenga and Bloomfield in Toluca Lake. One block south of Moorpark. East side of Cahuenga.   (In the Valley.)

    So are you giving the stuff away, or selling it? Your post talks about both. (I suppose it could be a yard sale could be to benefit a charity.)

    Don’t feel bad. I have a pair of jeans from high school (1987) that I can’t bring myself to throw out. They’re awesome and look so tiny now (well they are tiny). I tell myself every year I’ll get back into them someday. I lie to myself a lot apparently.

    I do that. I’ll find awesome shirts in my closet that I can’t bear to get rid of hoping I’ll wear them again.

    I’m moving for the first time since 1991(?) and mein gott!! has stuff accumulated….and I still have things packed-away in storage from THAT move. It used to be that I moved apartments every year or two when I was in college and afterwards getting professionally-established and that kept the clutter manageable. What’s really embarrassing is the sheer-tonnage of gay porn magazines…and I haven’t been actively buying much in years. But you hate throwing THAT out, and be somewhat circumspect when you do…..

    Did I really think he was hot once? ….Twinkie overload!!

    Anyone check out the ranting on Towleroad.com? The post on Obama’s “promises” to the LGBT community. The gays are going crazy!!! Actually, a ton of the comments are expressing regret for drinking the kool-aid. Check it out.

    I’ll only come to a yard sale if Miss Niecy is on the premises and Matt Iseman is bending over something.

    Cheap stuff? Cheap stuff?

    My dear, the word is inexpensive. Nothing a gay man of your caliber would own is cheap. 🙂

    Oh that’s too rich. I especially liked the oft repeated statements that the world doesn’t revolve around gays.

    Knew a guy who bought ‘Bear Magazine’ “for his wife…”

    And no, he’s not in denial, remarried now, he’s just either a)bi and trying to hide it or b) just a confused jerk (I vote for b).

    And he wonders why I don’t add him to facebook…

    You need to clean your room or your house to get rid of the mess and dusts that had occurred. In this way, you will have a more comfortable space to live in.
