Philosophy and Welcome

Already more than 10

Welcome to Stuff I Own the Blog.  I hope the sheer amount of stuff I possess doesn't scare you off.

There's a general trend these days to own less.  There are people out there who claim they only own ten objects.  I am not one of those people, and I honestly never will be.

But I've grown curious about how much I do own, and about what it would look like if I tried to catalog all of it. Hence the blog.

I have a lot of stuff. No, really. That drawer pictured above is actually rather empty. And I'm not entirely sure what to do about the variety of things that I own; like I've made artwork to sell--how does it get cataloged? What about food? Toiletries? Collections?

Most of this I will work out as I get to the items--and it doesn't matter a whole lot in the mean-time because I've plenty of things to keep my occupied. That being said, food and toiletries, and other objects I deem impermanent or non-real (i.e. computer files) will not be cataloged.

That means I won't take pictures of every book on my kindle or of every picture I take of something--especially that second one, because it would turn existential fast.

This whole project should be an interesting journey, and I'm glad you've decided to come along for the ride--or at least to peek in for a bit.
