I have some things at my house that should have been thrown away or given away a long time ago but I kept them around because it does hold some kind of significance to me. Why? I have no idea, just the story behind them or how I got them, so I can understand that part of the story but still can't really understand the reason behind selling these items on ebay and on a website made solely for these items.
The Carlin clip is really funny and clever. I am a big fan of Carlin simply because his jokes are clever. He always thinks of things a totally different way than I do, very out of the box style thinking I think. In a way I agree with him when he says that we have houses so we can put our stuff there. I can relate to this in a way because back home I lived with just my dad and in every room there just seems to be stuff kind everywhere. Especially in my room. My dad is now moving into a smaller house and we have to get rid of all this stuff laying around because we won't have enough room. I feel like this relates perfectly to what Carlin was saying. Also when he was talking about going on vacation and packing a "2nd version of your stuff". To me Its the same as moving into a dorm here at Kent. I had to figure out what stuff I needed to bring and what I could leave back at home.
Good post, Cameron. I, too, was surprised at how many people seemed to be making purchases simply because of the "concept."
