B) only to give the facade that things are actually organized.
C) They are not. Or maybe they are.
D)I own more boxes of books than I do clothes. I'm selfish with them. I have at least two full bookshelves of beautiful books and I went through them and can't give them away.
- realization: My house someday is going to have so many books, it will resemble a small library. The person I share it with will have to be ok with this.
E) I have all this stuff that I don't need. I've been reading Cornel West and his critiques on the free-market capitalistic consumerism/materialism has made me really think about what we need. I don't know why, as Americans, we continually equate progress and happiness with the collection of stuff. Excessive stuff. Materialism. However, at the same time, in a capitalistic system, consumerism is entirely necessary for the well-being of society.
F) That said, this summer I've found I love where I live.
G)Fragmented Story:
I was at work. On the boat. It's after dinner when things are settling down and I ususally stare out the window and look at all the beautiful islands. Tonight, however, I sit on the stairs to call my friend to see if he wants to partake in listening to whales on vinyl. I'm in the middle of the phone ringing. I look up and see blood everywhere, dripping from a ten year olds pinky finger. I see his flesh completely removed and I see his bone. His pinky bone. Abruptly, I hang up the phone. I frantically run up to the wheel house to try and figure out what the fuck I am suppossed to do. It's digusting. I realize there is a reason we have skin, vainly stated, our insides are not appealing; they are red, complex and incredibly vunerable. i want to vomit. My co-worker and I grab the first aid kit and we proceed to wrap the open wound. I bleach the counter, the bathroom, the metal spring loaded door he slammed it in & the chair he sat in. I think I might be freaked out by blood.
H) The month of August is going to be one crazy month.
I) The GRE's. The devil.
