Evergreen

So many meanings, you know?  I’m not really going to go into the eponymous BYU club, or anything else. I’m actually talking about the shipping containers. Yeah, shipping containers. I love them. That’s why I put one on The Wants list. Something about the utility of containers has always really spoken to my soul. And since green is my favorite color, it just makes sense to like these better than, say, a ZIM container.

And if you were to ask me if I’m slightly OCD about how my life is organized I’d have to say, “Hell, yes.”

The next question to immediately pop into my brain is: “If you could put your whole life into a box, would you?”  Answer: ibid.  Thus, the shipping container. I love mobility + I love organization + I love utility = I love shipping containers. If I could put my whole life into a 40’ … or even a 20’ shipping container, I totally would.

You guys should really check out this site about container homes. The usefulness of these little ditties is endless. Mine, however, wouldn’t be like the ones you can see on youtube.com or the afore-mentioned site. Mine would be completely modular. The whole bathroom or kitchen, small though they’d be, would be displaceable. You could rearrange the actual location of your bathroom, kitchen, bedroom, etc. Now, don’t get too excited. I can tell you’re excited about that idea. Like I said, don’t get too excited because a container is only a few hundred square feet to start with. It’s not like you’re going to move it that far.

Still … a life in a container! You could move anywhere in the world and never have to pack all your stuff up!
