I spend a bit tonight talking to, my friend and fellow bitter film goer, John about all things ’80s and minimalism. There are things that I will be the first one to admit I will not get rid of for the sake of minimalism (and I have quite a bit to go on this journey), but for the most part our lives are filled with items that we don’t need.

There are DVDs that are really pointless for me to carry around because I could sooner stream them than I can find it and pop it in a device to watch thanks to Hulu and Netflix. Not only that, but even the excuse of surround sound, as if I had it set up, is gone now that Netflix is going to start streaming movies with surround sound.

The point is that there are items I’ve held on this long from the ’80s retro bullshit period because the remind me of a day where I didn’t have to worry about shit, though my home life was crap, and I was too dumb or naive to realize that things were more complicated than I knew. That is the great thing about kids though. How they can just enjoy the simplest things because there are “there” and “now”. They don’t ever think of the big picture or any of that crap.

OK, since I’ve rambled on with a bunch of random shit I’ll leave you with an even more random postscript (PS).

P.S. It trips me out that the janitor from “Breakfast Club” is the detective from “Forever Knight”. It just freaks me out, maaaan!
