MTV Cribs...

You know something, it amazes me how some people decorate houses these days. I'm not going to be spiteful because I do wish to own a luxurious house one day, but the amount of rooms in a house that superstars get is ridiculous!

Tonight I am watching MTV Cribs and Willis McGahee is exhibiting his house. The house has 6 rooms, 5 bath, a nice living room (or as he calls it, the "sitting room") lovely basketball court and outdoor pool, blah blah blah, etc. But he is the only one living in this house. So my mind begin to question this: why need all this and you are alone..... hmmmm

So then I begin to question (and I know the obvious answer) does money play a huge role in purchasing a home and what goes inside it, even though if you are a super star and you probably won't enjoy it all. We all want to make it big one day and yes purchase a huge home with a billion rooms, and twenty thousand bathrooms, a water fall shower, and a pond shaped jacuzzi for the backyard, and all the other things that the Almighty Lord would look puzzled.

Now say if I were to make it big, doing whatever that give me the riches of some superstar players or movie actors: do I need all this to show what I have? We all as a society want to show our status quo of what we achieve in life and what better way to show it off is not by purchasing expensive cars, but by the"exuberant of our domain". You want to have this, you want to have that, you want this wall to be knocked down, or you want this backyard to be expanded. But after is all said and done, are we satisfied?

If you are single male/female I can see a small house, 3 bedroom/2 bathroom max, to have and decorate to what you like with some of the extremities like a pool, basketball court. That way it shows a modest home, not by your riches, but what you achieved in life. Its hard to say if you are a family man because you want that extra space for your famliy and that pool, and full-court basketball in the backyard for the family to play on.

Like I said before, I understand that we want to expand our domain to exhibit the amount of riches we have; its in our blood because of the history of past kingdoms and kings showing their riches to the peasants. Take it from me, I wouldn't display much.
