Resolution: Resolution or not I've been putting this off for far too long and for far too many reasons.

Today is the day the Salvation Army will be taking away most of my pre-apartment material possessions as part of Resolution #125. As I was digging through my "storage room" I started to think about what to do with all the extra space.

I also stumbled upon one of the two video projectors that I own. I had to decide whether to keep it and use it or get rid of it and free myself from the clutter.

I bought one projector while shopping for supplies when I first got my apartment. The projector cost  15 dollars on clearance! Even though I already had a 55 inch TV this thing was 15$ and I had a giant white wall that is perfect for projection! It was so cheap because it uses a standard light bulb as its globe. The image is terrible, but it's a fun item to own and use especially when projecting deep sea documentaries on the ceiling.

The second projector was a hand me down that was handed to me as a housewarming/farewell gift by a friend who was leaving the country. He also gave me an eight-foot wide screen to be all fancy. I fully intended to set up this projector with some permanence. I never intended it to be my prime source for television watching but I also never intended for it to live in the closest forever.

Now that I will no longer have the non-projecting big screen TV to compete with, along with more room and a blank canvas to work with, I feel much more inclined to make this happen. Also, as I begin to own less it harder to justify owning items just for the sake of owning them. 

I can't wait to either get rid of more or finally get around to using everything I own as intended. Both of these items will remain in the keep pile and I'm sure both will come in handy as I continue to make my way through the television and movie watching resolutions that I've made and have yet to make.

To a clutter-free life!!!

Result #168: Though I No Longer Live In The Same Space… But I Did Manage To Successfully Set Up My Home Theater Earlier In The Year…

Update #1: The Movie Screen Was Hung In Front Of The Window With Care...

Date: 6-20-2014

...with the hopes that the cables ordered to set up the projector soon would be there.

Update #2: Almost done!!!

Date: 6-22-2014

Well, that turned out to be a lot of procrastinating for nothing. All I need now are cables to extend my speakers’ reach so that I can place them behind the screen. Right now the sound is coming from behind my head which isn't horrible but it is weird.

Today I'm going to take it on a bit of a test spin as I watch a couple of episodes of The Twilight Zone before I take a nap.

Update #3: The Conclusion…

Date: 6-17-2015

I forgot to take a final picture of my home theater in its full glory. To be honest it didn't look much different than the other two pictures above. So instead I decided to share the home theater I wish to own someday, though it highly conflicts with my other dream, to live in a tiny home.

Who knows? There may be a way to achieve both, keeping in mind my tiny home dream is not to have one of the tiny homes on wheels. I want something permanent so it can be a bit bigger than a trailer.

Either way, it's all dream-based where anything can work!!!
