Oh the Bare Essentials

So I was thinking of things that I needed to pack to take to Singapore today and I, playfully, tried to narrow it down to just a few things. I thought of books. I hate reading so I shot that one right out of my head but then the Bible popped up in my head. Then I thought of clothing. One or two pairs of clothes would do me some good. One to wear, one to wash. Then I thought of music. I could not exist without any music to listen to. So I thought that the guitar was an instant #1 pick but it is too big. So I told myself that an ipod would do just fine, but then again I am trying to narrow it down a bit. So I immediately decided that I would take U2's "How to Dismantle and Atomic Bomb" album with me. I picked this one because musically, I love U2, and lyrically, I love their lyrics, and rockily (haha) there is some rock. Then I thought about companionship. I could not do without a good friend. So I would have to take a friend with me, and oh, of course something to do with that friend. I thought about the greatest times I have ever had with my friends and that would be something along the lines of a Frisbee. So I would take my Frisbee for me and my friend to play with. Then I thought of the other side of me. The side that is fully content with being alone and what I like to do when I am alone. Immediately, without one doubt in my mind, running was the top of the list. So running shoes hit my mind. But who says you have to run with running shoes on? So I thought of running clothes... but who has to run with a shirt on? So running shorts was my top option.
So here is my list of essentials:

- Bible

- 2 pairs of Clothes

- U2

- A Friend

- A Frisbee

and...

- Some Running Shorts.


And the awesome thing is that I already have packed all these things... and too much more.
