A place for my stuff

After looking at the readings I chose to listen to the audio portion of it first. Even though Carlin was trying to make his little sketch about “stuff” as comical as he could, the truth of the matter is it is all true. Your whole life you find yourself buying “stuff” and spending all your money on it that you earn. Whether it is stuff that you need or stuff that you want, it all is as he puts it, just “stuff”. I enjoyed listening to how he said the only reason you have a house is mainly to put all your stuff in it so you have room for all of your things and then when you leave you lock it up so that no one is able to steal your stuff. After reading the article about Freyer and all of his stuff the beginning made me think about the south park episode and the real show that deals with hoarding. It is just about people who cant let go of they things that they have and what they have collected over the years. When people do this kind of thing it makes it very hard to be organized and neat. Personally I am not a complete neat freak but I do like having things pretty organized and looking somewhat neat. So I try not to be the type of person that clings on to everything I have and keep it forever. Growing up I actually liked having garage sales and getting rid of the useless items and toys that I no longer needed. Im not saying that a person should get rid of everything because I feel that some things are meant to be kept, but a lot of things in our life we just need to get rid of and move on.
