I finally did it.

It’s something I’ve put off for far too long now.  I really don’t know what I was holding onto..

Maybe I just had trouble letting go.

Still, I stood in front of that old dresser with several brand new storage bins resting beside me.

It was time to pack up my VHS collection. It was time to move on.

Perhaps I’m being a little dramatic.  It’s not like I’m throwing them out.  (I’m definitely not there yet.)  I’m simply throwing away my dresser and putting them in storage.

Why am I upset?

I love my movie collection and while some people may have abandoned their old VHS tapes long ago…  I still look back at the movies I grew up with fondly.  I love my VHS collection.  I love my VCR.

Also I’m lazy.  How often am I really going to unlock my storage locker and search through the bins looking for a movie I simply have to see.

Would you?

I think certain movies will inspire me to make the journey down to storage to retrieve them.  But then I have to put them back…  It might be too much!

Maybe I’ll think more about upgrading some of them to DVD or Blu Ray for that matter.

Lets face it, I’m also a technology nerd and a high definition snob so it’s probably time to experience these films in a higher quality format.

Either way, it’s the end of an era. They may have resided away from view inside dresser drawers but I knew they were there.

I’m going to miss having them accessible…

It’s been a tough day.

PS: I’m only kidding.  I have no problem getting those bins out of storage every once in a while.
