If human beings were the sums of their possessions....

I would be reduced to a plastic Target bag of laundry, a much smaller bag of toiletries, a pair of sandals, a jacket, a bottle of castille soap/shampoo, 3 DVDs, and a backpack. This is what I've been carrying around for what feels like forever, and aside from work stuff (laptop, papers, and books), I have apparently achieved some sort of literal Buddhistic detachment from the material world, which is sort of cool(well, almost. I refuse to stop bathing and wearing clean clothes). Unfortunately, the mental detachment part is very slow in coming, and I can't even self-immolate in piles of useless plastic Walmart crap to relieve the pain.

(Translation: How sad is my life?)
