I'm not moved by this move

I'm moving my life along with me. It's insane. I have so much stuff! Last year I had to make twice the 225 km journey, first with a 22 feeter and second with a 16 feeter to move my whole house with me. I am not an escargot I am more like an ex-cargo*. I am doing my boxes once again. It's like "what the fuck am I doing!!!" I guess this time around I'm gonna hire a 10-wheeler truck in case I decide to dump the whole damned stuff in the first landfill I see. "Just back up and throw it out all. Just get rid of the whole thing. I wanna be lite like a butterfly not like an oil tanker". See, I'm not used to move. I lived 12 years in the same place and some 4 years in the other place before. From that place to the next it took me just about 2 months to move! I left that apartment to my ex-girlfriend who was in Europe at the time. So once in a while I was carrying a couple of boxes back to the new place. That is to say it took me just about the whole summer to move out... So last year when I really had to get my things together to make the BIG move, I wasn't ready at all. I had no idea how much planning had to be put into such an enormous move. It was a catastrophy. I sworn I would never move again! Well it is not ethical but nonetheless here I am moving again and finding myself totally unable to make choice about what I keep and what I don't. Mind you, last year I ended up throwing quite a bit of stuff. So much so that I heard someone threw the whole thing on fire in the back lane...
I need something like a barn or an abandoned gas station with 2 garage doors to put all this stuff. I certainly can't live in a tiny littly shack like this couple I met yesterday which is living in so small quarters in the forest it would make most city dwellers freaked out. They live in this sort of commune called "Mandala" just in-between La Patrie and Notre Dame des Bois, just along Mt Megantic. Well it is not as smooth as it might have once been. They just come out of the court to settle a big fight and the judge had this Salomon decision dividing the land in lot according to the current tenants/owners. Anyhow it seems like a real mess and they cope with it by just taking care of their beautiful flowers garden. She is from Arkansas and he is from the Ottawa area. It is inspiring seeing them living on their 10 acre lot. I asked her: "Have you got any Idea how many people there are in Shanghai living on the equivalent of your 10 acre piece of land!" "Too many", she answered... I'm gonna go have a shower. I guess it's hot enough, even around here.
* As someone I know would say: "Your puns are so stupid" Well be my guest, 'cause I am just having fun.
