want nothing

It seems very Zen to me. Lessen your desires for a clearer mind and conscience. I am well on my way to becoming a complete minimalist, owning less than 200 things. There are so many things I could want, like the new Apple MacBook Air, but it just further enforces our American culture of consumption. It is the new American pastime. Forget baseball, football. We love buying things as a nation. I am so sick of people saying, “I have to have this,” and “I have to have that.” I haven’t been one of those people for a long time now, but as I progress into this way of life, it feels like a gigantic weight lifted off my shoulders. Once I rid myself of all excess, I will be the truly simplistic being I was meant to be.

Edit: 4/2/08 When you want for nothing, you begin to see how ridiculous our culture of consumption is. I get a lot of inspiration from the movie Fight Club. I wish you all luck.

Alright, finally! I’ve tried to find a good goal that embodies what i really want. This is the closest one so far. It’s a weird idea though. I guess the whole idea is that if I don’t want anything than everything I do is totally awesome! Plus the decisions I make won’t be influenced by expectations or fears or anything like that. Plus, when I do stuff I won’t care what the outcome is. Like, if I decide to make a little film and in the end it’s a piece of crap I could just say “oh well” and smile about it. Then go make a cup of tea, or whatever. Anyways, I like this one. I’d love to talk with people about what they think. hit me up and lets chat about wanting nothing.
