A Confederacy of Boxes

I recently had my biannual box purging festival, during which I cut up all boxes I've acquired in the last six months and unceremoniously dump 'em in the recycling station. It used to be an annual event, but it seems my ability to amass large quantities of boxes have increased in recent years.
Here's just a select few boxes that went the way of all flesh...carton just recently:
  • Vacuum cleaner carton box
  • Coffe makeer carton box
  • 3x Amazon.com carton packages
  • Book shelf carton box
  • DVD burner carton box
  • Printer carton box
And so on. No wonder Finland is so reputed for its paper industry, there is quite obviously a market to sustain it.
Maybe all of these boxes are indicitative of me buying way too much stuff. Nah. Then again, should I ever be unable to pay the rent, I can always move in with all my stuff into my box collection. Seriously, I could rebuild New Orleans with all that carton!
