I remember my first apartment. It was so small that I could barely turn around without being in another room. It was the epitome of urban living, but I loved it. It was mine and it was perfect for me. It wasn't like I needed any more; all I did was sleep there and play video games. I hardly ever stayed there at all. I was a man about town. Oh, to be young again. Living in the middle of Dallas? urban sprawl taught me more than a few things about making the best of a small area, and to appreciate the simplicity that comes with it.

Now I live in a far more rural area. My house is so big I actually do not even use almost half of it. I have a den that is completely empty and is larger than my whole first apartment. It is ridiculous really, but I suppose I am planning for the future. Somehow, my wife thinks in the future we will need enough space for 5 or 6 people. (I?m scared.) Computer cases can be like that. I was using a huge full tower case for a while and I kept telling myself I needed the space so I could make a custom water loop, maybe a second or third GPU. Of course, all of that is unnecessary, but it really does sound great still doesn't it? Oh well, time to move on and use only what I need.
