A Place For My Stuff...

When listening to Carlin's "A Place For My Stuff", it made me laugh. No one really thinks about how much we do rely on our "stuff". He made me put things into perspective. Like, why do we actually have houses besides for shelter? It is just a place for our stuff. Our day to day lives rely on our stuff. I do not think our stuff defines us as a person 100%, but it definitely contributes on how we are looked upon. There are some people out there who are very materialistic and then there are some who just don't care. Our stuff can show what we do and don't like. It can show our hobbies and what we like to do. It can show our wealth and how we spend our money. But, just by looking at someone's things doesn't give us a full insight into how someone really is.

I thought Mr.Freyers story was very interesting. I tried to think about what I really do and do not need. The only think I really NEED in my room in a my bed, but it's the luxury of having more. There are a lot of things that I have that I would not sacrifice or sell on eBay to make a point. I love almost everything that I own, but I will admit there are definitely some things that I do not use and could definitely get rid of.
