Just stuff destined for a landfill: clothes from Old Navy, Britney Spears CDs, Air Jordans, soon to be obsolete electronics, and other assorted crap.

Sadly this is very true of most Americans. There are some exceptions, but these are becoming more and more rare.
I have always held a deep appreciation for art and aesthetics, so there are many things in my home which I intend to pass on to my descendants when I die. I hope that they will hold onto these and appreciate them, so that a part of me will remain with them in their having the objects that I admired and enjoyed in my lifetime.
