Day 30


 Today I decided that I would give away something to charity on July 10th for the rest of my life.  I am debating how I want to go about it.  I am thinking I write down a list of my x amount of favorite things and I am required to get rid of something I really don't want to.  I also can get rid of excess things I do not need with this favorite item of mine.  I encourage all of us as humans on July 10th every year to give away something that we hold precious and dear.  Write out a list of your five favorite things or most meaningful things.  Out of the five pick one and give it away.  This will let us know that just because memories are attached to an object doesn't mean we can not remember without it.  Sometimes we may think we need an object and sometimes others need this more than us.  I want you to struggle and hate yourself in a sense for giving up this item.  This will show true charecter and power of will and kindness.  If you are able to give up what you love for someone elses prosperity.  The world seems to turn the fortunes you have created in their life back into your own fortunate events within your own.  This world watches and listens like a nosey neighboor.  It is santa claus knowing when you are bad or good.  Put out into this world the humility and generosity.  What would it be like if people were not so self centered and would give again.  Remember when you could actually talk to your neighboors or ask for a cup of sugar.  I do maybe not me as me but in the concept of neighboors not being distant.  I do.  If you are reading this for the first time and it isn't July 10th then this is the day you will give away something until next July 10th.  Will this catch on I don't know.  Do I pray from my core that it will last beyond me and my life.  Forever more.   The song that inspired me had lyrics tthat went if you miss this train people around the world join hands this is the love train.  Or something to that extent.  I will make up my list of five things and let you know what I am giving away. 

Computer

Tv

X Box

Clothing (expensive)

I find it interesting I had trouble coming up with more than this.  These are some things I may need.


Computer - allows my continued writing and posting on the internet but my mom does have a computer as well.  This is also how I am taking my courses online.

Tv - X Box relies on the tv and it is good for entertaining myself.

X Box - I am hoping to persue a career playing video games proffesional so this may be vital to my career how oddly that sounds. 

(I can't  think of anything else that I would deem my favorite things without lying to myself.)

Clothing (expensive) - this would be relitive to your income I guess but when jeans cost forty or fifty dollars this is what I consider expensive.  I do not know if I would say this is my favorite thing on earth but the image I present is important to me.  I may be vain and trying to reassure myself with good clothing that I am able to be accepted by people.  This may be my insecurity.  If I am able to give away some of my defense to an insecurity.  Well that leaves me naked.  Got Pun?

I am going to give away some of my shoes and designer clothing as well as a whole assortment of books and dvds.  I may also end up giving my paintings away I have already given one away.  I will write a full detailed list with all items that I am parting with.

I am not saying give away all your things.  Maybe something that is really important to you and that is it.  Or you could do that as well as things you do not deem useful or just find are pointless at this current time in your life.  Let's name this day something that will stay something that may linger.  July 10th is now Berengar of Humanity.  Or man of humanity day as we would all be men of humanity in the terms of man being human.  So when I use Berengar of Humanity I mean both male and female.  I am curious tell your friends let this catch on and spread like a plague.  The best advertisement is word of mouth.  Let Hope spread across this nation like lung cancer from ciggeretes. 


My List of things I am giving away today in total.

40 or 50 shirts and or pants

5 stuffed animals

1 dollar that reads god loves you that i have hung on my wall for at least 8 months cherishing it.

1 set of books on tape

6 sweatshirts

5 pairs of shoes

3 shelves of books

1 guitar

1 piano/organ/electronic/thing

1 sampson co1u recording microphone - used for music studio usb mic

I am not sure if this is it but it might be.

This is what I give on July Tenth

On this day I lost my favorite jeans, shirt, sweatshirt, and shoes.

On this day I don't care I gained a feeling of true self worth.

Berengar of Humility live it to see real reality.

Change, Love, B Leaf
