Clean house...

I was just rummaging around my computer, and realized just how much "stuff" there is there... I suppose I'm a virtual pack-rat of sorts... scratch that- I just realized how much I pack anyway... it would seem it's time for some cleaning.
I've got clutter... plenty of it... and I've been bugged by it a long time- whether it's the cornucopia of files that swamp me from being able to find stuff I actually want; habits I formed because of certain circumstances that no longer apply; or the "real" clutter- the stuff that I have no use for, but still never get rid of... some of it's got sentimental value, but half the stuff I should just... get rid of.
Here's a short list:
  • My computer collection in our basement- of parts probably 11 years old on average.
  • The radio-controlled truck I never managed to get running.
  • My TaeKwonDo uniform... the belts, sure, the uniform won't fit me again until I'm 80.
  • The remains of the balsa plane that the cat lay in and crushed... yeah.
  • The clothes that I've never put in the rag bin when I was done with them.
That's just 5 "real" clutter examples... and... then my room will probably be cleaner than the mess of files that I need to go through, and the habits I'll need to be disposing of.

And... then I have the "constructive" cleaning... or, making more presentable... things I should be doing that I haven't been. (Again, a short list of 5)
  • Practicing guitar. (I play about 2 times a week at present... it should be at least 5)
  • Exercising. (Not talking just building muscle- coordination is a must too.)
  • Taking better care of my dog. (Yup... it's lacking.)
  • Spending more time with my family and friends... in person.
  • Put way more effort into my relationship with God... it lacks.
Give you any ideas? (And by that I don't mean for inviting me over.) More like... how clean is your house? I was amazed when I went to Texas last year, leaving my "clutter" in Maine. I was pretty stunned at the results... if I had that lack of clutter all the time... let's just say I'm gonna try to recreate that bit.

Hey, thanks- I somehow had comment notification off, so I didn't realize I had comments to reply to!
