Get a life ... on eBay!

Ever been told to 'get a life?' You may be in luck. Some dude in Australia is selling his on eBay.

Seriously.

Ian Usher, 44, decided the only way to start fresh after his failed marriage was to hold an Ian-Usher-super-blowout-everything-must-go-clearance of sorts, Reuters reports.

But we're not talking about a garage sale here. Usher's hawking his house, his job and even his buddies, all in a bid to make himself a new man.

"It's time to move. A completely fresh start. I want to see where life takes me," Ian Usher, 44, told Australian television.

And it's a packaged deal. Usher's life auction includes his house, a car, a motorcycle, a jet ski, a spa, introduction to his buddies and a job at a rug shop for a trial two-week period. Parts not sold separately.

"Hi there, my name is Ian Usher, and I have had enough of my life! I don't want it any more! You can have it if you like," he said on his Web site, www.alife4sale.com.

Interested parties can start their bidding on June 22.

"When it's over, I will just walk out the front door, take my wallet, my passport and start a new life," Usher told Reuters.

And what of the ex who spawned the life liquidation?

"Her last comment was, 'it seems a bit mental to me,'" Usher said.

Get over yourself! Getting rid of your current life in lieu of another one that will allow you to work with a clean slate is selfish and childish. Grow up and do what all the other adult divorcees' do; go to therapy and own their mistakes in the marriage, work it through and heal. Selling your identity and running away never solves anything...what are you going to do when you **** it up in your 'new life'? Sell that one on Deal or No Deal...grow up!
