Put it in a free box on your corner, post a note on Craigslist of Freecycle and just be done with it. [...] [...] I’m personally a big fan of just eliminating everything you haven’t used, touched, seen or thought about in over a year, or over six months even.

But it makes a poor sacrifice in classical terms, because its composed of things which were once useful, but which have been reassigned a null value. Free boxes are a cool way of looking at objects and usefulness and I wonder what kinds of simple and profound changes one person could make in their life by focusing on making only useful waste products which can be put to some other purpose, instead of sacrificed to some nameless god. This goes beyond reduce, reuse, recycle. [...] [...] The trash can is a ritual container in which we sacrifice objects.

I should just take some boxes home from work and put this stuff out for other people...

Wrote this to my friend Garrett, who co-starred in the dream, for whatever reason: I had a dream yesterday with you in it. We somehow were in this big old country farm house type place and it seemed like you knew the place better than I, like you lived there or went there all the time. And a bunch of other people were there, mutual friends, and people I didn’t know. Some kind of party. You and I were sitting at this wood table and you were telling me how you guys were planning on burning this place down soon. I don’t know why. I said that you shouldn’t do it because it was a nice old place. [...] [...] Meant to add this in with my post on free boxes: the day I put those boxes out, I took a nap and had the following dream.
