Stuff In Our House!!

Well...what to say about this subject?

Okay, first off, George Carlin: excellent comedian (my personal favorite!)! May he rest in peace for his ingeniousness!!

He knows his knowledge about topics around the world, to stuff at home. He points out the most simplistic things in life, in a humorous way that we never take a chance to look at... and, although he has his share of cussing, he does it... in a much suitable, friendly way, comparing it to many of today's comedians.

... Sorry, got off topic! Anyways, in his album recording on 'Stuff', he describes through his way of a profession to talking about how stuff affects us. Literally, as he said it, a house is a place that keeps an eye on your stuff.

Have too much stuff? You gotta get a bigger house.

If stuff wasn't such a big deal, than we wouldn't be minding moving around, living in different parts of the world, without the burden, or the need, to keeping that stuff.

...Going somewhat off-topic with this, a home is a place where you feel most comfortable living at. A lot of people, including myself, have troubles accepting the hospitality to sleep at another friend's house, because we're not in our 'natural habitat' (our 'house'), where your 'stuff' creates that mood, that comfortness. The feeling that you feel secure about doing things around the house that you don't normally do elsewhere. It’s because of not only the house itself, but the stuff as well.


Going into John Freyer's introduction to his book... I'm not quite 100% sure what he learned through this experience, but I'll give it a shot.

As it reads, he wanted to move to a different state, and to do so, he had to sell his stuff at his home. He creates a website, auctions stuff, and... before you know it, he travels out to different parts of the States to see these people.

Through this, he wonders if the people that got his stuff, if they will appreciate it as much as he did.

At the end of it all, he was pretty much where he left off in terms of money, but enjoyed the experience, and the lessons behind the project. After all that, he felt that the stuff he had, all bunched up in his basemen, made him to who he was today, and reflecting himself upon that, he ditches the idea of moving, and decides to never 'restart’ life again.
