Craigslist and the Modern Condition

In the spirit of full disclosure (the good / the bad / and the ugly) I got some news on Friday that would fit in the ugly category.  It completely took me off guard, which lately is hard to do since I've had to have my guard on full Deflector Shield.  I was so taken by surprise that I almost hypervenilated and passed out.  I didn't pass out, but I had to full-on stop everything I was doing because the world started to look like the rabbit hole in Alice and Wonderland.

First:  My biggest phobia (is completely irrational) is becoming homeless.  I always look at the little homeless village I pass every night on the way home from work and I'm convienced there is less then 10 steps from where I sit to where they sit.  Wierd, I know, but it could happen.

I have to move. 

I won't get into details but I'm not taking any kind of financial loss or anything like that ... so really it's no big deal, except for the fact I have to move.  And I'm single and own a mini cooper.

Solution:  Sell life on Craigslist.  Start over (again).

In 18 hours I have sold $1200.00 of my life. As I do this I wonder how I will reinvent myself and I contemplate how much some of these people want my life as they come in my house an rumage through all the this and that, that is me.

I feel like all the people on Jerry Springer now own my stuff. Where do these people come from. Every single one of them has a story as to why they need the thing I have. The stories are facinating. Craigslist should be a reality TV show. The TV producer puts together this house with a bunch of stuff in it and then they post it all on craigslist. Then just sit back and watch the humanity come to you. In fact, if you live in a place without much people watching -- just put your stuff on Craigslist and people to watch will come to you.
