I Predict the Trend ‘Minimalism’ is Coming

Remember a bit ago, when I said I’d “achieved a new level of Minimalism”… ?

This is it. Less less less.

I unlocked a new level of non-attachment.

Because if I removed that handful of documents *…

And my lanyard collection…

And fridge collection…

Tada!   It’d be tough to figure out who lives here.

It gets addictive, purging. Remember that time in 2011, when I gave away all my belongings in my “Emporium”? It’s escalated ever since.

However!

What do 2/3 of the above things have in common?  Ego.  Ego will get you busted you every time.

(of course my knapsack couldn’t be there, then game over. It’s my everything, as blogged)

I predict a Minimalism Trend will start soon, this spring.

I think everyone is sick of owning so much stuff, because that stuff needs a lot of care, time, maintaining, dusting, insuring, and really, never brought all the happiness it was supposed to.  Less is more is coming.

* that ‘handful of documents‘ are things I’m behind blogging, including 6 car reviews, sorry guys; and my ‘Talking with Trustwave’ security interview series from… October; I know, sorry guys.

 

 

Quick Post of Miscellaneousness

This week’s car is a 2014 Ford Escape.

This week’s car is going to have better-than-usual blog photos.

My laptop and I, going around the city.

Stopped by an eBay party at the Hazelton.

They put on a great Mother’s Day Collective: unique gift ideas, made by up-and-coming Canadian artists, that eBay lends a hand up to.  That’s Monique Chan’s “Radiant Necklace” by her studio MoonRox, $70, here’s the link.

Bottom pic: good camera-awareness, missy.

Will work from wherever.

Last week’s car, next week’s blog review – Ford’s 2014 Fusion.

I’m liking that collage, that may be my new format for the sidebar ‘This Week’s Car’…

My column printed today – Fuel Economy Ratings get a Dose of Reality.

And confirmed: it’s a pretty impossible fit, the backseat of an F-TYPE.

 

 

Canada’s Biggest Classic Car Auction is Coming Up

It’s the ‘Toronto Spring Classic‘ this weekend, out by the airport.

It’s car candy everywhere.

And amphibious vehicles.

Like this 1963 Amphicar.

These cars brighten up a blog, but don’t interest me.

This does.

I love the super cars of when we grew up.

26 years ago this was IT.

But the best part is hearing the auctioneers talk.

Ahah guy at the end.

The auction happens this weekend, go too; it’s a fun afternoon, that’s different from the norm, wandering around hundreds of different cars…

Company spokesperson Terry Lobzun gave me the scoop on what’s coming up… 

“Got a fabulous line up – a lovely art deco ’35 De Soto Airflow, barn-find ’36 Packard hotel limo, ’52 Chevy ice cream truck, ’58 Ford Ranchero, a sweet as pie ’64 Mercedes 230SL, and the usual hot rods, sports and muscle cars.”
