Curbside Pickup

I guess it's true that one person's trash is another's treasure.

Tomorrow is trash pick up... I put out the second of my old lawn mowers around 6pm.  Like clockwork the junk guy came around and took it just like he did last week.

He comes around and inspects trash the night before to look for anything he can use in some way/shape/form.  I'm guessing that he's either collecting raw metal for scrap, as I found out that you can actually make money off bulk scrap.  Or, maybe he takes things and then fixes them up and resells them.

My thing is... If he can do that, and he can feed his family or whatever... Pay bills... More power to him.  It saves me from having to deal with someone extra and call to schedule some pickup.  I know that the trash people get cranky when you put too much out, or you put out bulky items.  So, if it takes some of the burden off the trash people, it's a win win win!

It actually feels pretty good to have flow.  My thing is, I like getting rid of things to make way for new things.  So, I bought a couple of new lawn cutting items, and got rid of some as well.  It's all about circulation.  In order to buy new things, you have to get rid of old things... Curbside, or eBay, or whatever...

This is my master plan.  Use my dividend circulation from my investments coming in, to buy items to make my house a tidy house... And then in the grand scheme of things, use the incoming cash to make home improvements... Then... Sell the house.

Buy my next house, use the income generated from investments to fix that house up... Sell that house.  Buy another.  And the cycle continues.

What I'm actually hoping is to make enough money off this process to be able to move about the country buying and fixing up houses around the country, or even the world maybe.  Then, I can travel by just living in and fixing up houses and then selling them.  Which would be fun.

We'll see.  For now I'm just cleaning out an item here or there, and letting the junk guy take it away.  Then I replace it with things as needed.

Out with the old, in with the new.

As I was watching the junk guy take away the old lawnmower... I had a funny thought... That's kind of how dating works.

I mean, not exactly... But in a way, we're all kind of discarding one another in favor of something new.  But the people that we meet, were at one point with someone else.  And those people were with other people.  And those people decided that they didn't want that person anymore, so they kicked them to the curb, and someone else met them and decided they were a treasure.

I kind of think maybe that's how things will happen for me.  I'll meet someone who she was with some other guy, and then they didn't work out, or maybe he just decided he didn't want to be with her anymore, and then I'll be like... Well I think you're pretty swell.  I'll take you.

It's kind of like the lyrics for this one song by a band named Reliant-K, the song is called "My Girl's Ex-Boyfriend".

He says in the song that he owe's it all to his girl's ex-boyfriend.  That's kind of how it works I guess.  I mean, some people just meet their first loves and stay together forever.  But other people are with lots of people until they finally meet that one who is their other half.

Right now my other half is the pizza I'm about to go pick up for dinner after I finish doing some work at Starbucks.
