Minimalism
I feel that the strongest form of anything, be it graphic design, government, religion, or family, is the universal concept of minimalism. When something has meaning, it should be strong enough in it’s most basic form to express what it needs to express.
I have begun the elimination of all possesions that I do not need, use, or want anymore. This has been a very liberating process. Usually, when I move into a new apartment, this is when I do this process, however, I have just resigned a lease, and figured I have entirely too much crap.

Hear hear…
I’ve gotten rid of so much crap after moving a few times since last year…and I still have a ways to go. It’s tough to break out of the American consumer mold.

Two good quotes:
“Any fool can make something complicated.
What’s hard is to make something simple.”
“In anything at all, perfection is finally attained not when there is no longer anything to add, but when there is no longer anything to take away”. - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
