All My Life For Sale (Blog Week 3)
"All My Life For Sale" was a really interesting story to read. I can't totally relate to everything he did but, it was such an eye opening story. The fact that he kept odd's and end's of things was really cool because I have kept things like that before, not like everything but I know what he is getting at, "one man's trash is another man's gold." I still have all my football cards that I collected over right years ago with my brother's. They just mean something sentimental to me, I guess if you never have kept something like that then you might not understand what it's like. When he started talking about how he wanted to sell the things I do not know what it's like to sell odd's and end's of things but I have sold a couple items in my time but nothing really that meant anything to me. I've always wondered how my iPod, I sold a couple years ago, is doing. Does it work still or is it even being used? So maybe I could find the person I sold it to and ask how it is doing or if he sold it to someone else. Thing I may never know. When he talked about how he never really settled down and stayed in once place, I feel like that is how I'm going to be one day. I'll never want to stay in the same apartment, house, or dorm for more then one year. Things I will eventually find out, in good time.

Careful what you wish for! As someone who's moved about 8 or 9 times in the past decade, I can say that the constant new places/experiences are great...but you're always just a little bit displaced, as if your life isn't really your own. It's hard to forge meaningful relationships when you're always on the move.
Of course, those of us cursed with wanderlust tend to get antsy if we spend too much time in the same spot : )
