shhhh... we're being simple.

got online again tonight. read a few blogs and blinked over to a few
other blogs (OK, two blogs total, but that sounds grossly understated) about living simply. i was struck by two things immediately.
first: why are there so many links and clickable text and rerouting to fourteen other posts in a blog about simplicity?
should'nt the blog itself be, oh, i don't know; simple?
second: all of these blogs are touting their own e-books and re-l books about simple living.
again; simple. downgrade. reduce. clearing out clutter... if i clicked on every link, took all their advice and purchased every book they hock at me, i would lose weeks of my life, live like a hobo and have a bookshelf FULL of books.
to digress for clarification: simple living or minimalistic living is almost exactly what it sounds like. doing more with less. blogs can be anywhere from creating margin through less television watching and making better life choices to "buy organic" propoganda and anarchistic rejection of socio-economic trends.
i think making a truly simple blog is the answer.
and, given my, ah... minimalistic posting, i feel the best suited to this calling.

less links.
more thinks.

how about that for a minimalistic blog tag-line?
