Here’s a funny little post we found. It’s all about living simple. You don’t have to be a monk or give away all your possessions but just the ones that you have no use for.
Check out one man’s goal to live simple and the challenges he faces with his wife because of this. Pretty funny stuff. The conversations crack us up and remind us all too much of ourselves 
Simplicity is hard. Let’s go shopping!
From DiveIntoMark.org
As part of my pursuit of happiness, I have been steadily shedding attachments, getting rid of things I don’t use, thinking about ways of keeping the things I do use longer, and just generally being a pain in the ass. This, for instance, is an actual conversation I had with my wife last fall:
Herself: What do you want for your birthday?
Myself: Nothing.
Her: You’re impossible to shop for.
Me: Actually, I want less than that. I want you to let me sell my car and replace it with nothing.
Her: Be realistic. We live in the suburbs.
Me: I have a bike.
Her: But what if my van breaks down?
Me: We have AAA.
Her: It would still put a huge burden on me if we only had one vehicle.
Me: That’s why it’s called a “gift.”
Her: You’re getting restaurant gift cards. And socks.
Me: I don’t need socks.
Apropos of nothing, I would just like to point out that the title of this post is a snowclone, which itself is a word that I learned in the process of researching the exact wording of the original phrase of which it is a snowclone (“Math is hard. Let’s go shopping!” from Teen Talk Barbie circa 1992). Not knowing whether I should write “simplicity is hard” or “simplicity is tough,” I searched Google for “let’s go shopping” math barbie, and the first result was a Language Log article called Tracking snowclones is hard. Let’s go shopping! which is both self-referential in the obvious sense, and also wonderfully meta-referential in that Language Log was instrumental in coining the word “snowclone” in the first place, but now can not possibly keep track of the snowclones, as seen by the lengthy update to that very post “added for those who find this via the Wikipedia entry for ’snowclone’,” which would be… me. And damn it, now I’ve spent the last two hours on a wiki walk. (And now I’ve (re)introduced you to TvTropes, so, you know, there goes your evening and most of your night. Try to come up for air before dawn.)

Snowclones. I like! I also admire the author’s inclination toward living an uncluttered life. I would if I could…well, I am. I moved 1200 miles in advance of my “stuff” six months ago and still have not retrieved it. That would make this conversation segue immediately into George Carlin’s dissertation on “Stuff”.
Right now I am living simply, which is a great place to be simply living. I do miss the old clutter though, much of it is my art and materials.
