I don't live poorly, I live a distilled life. My clothes distilled into one outfit, my friends distilled into one web site, my food distilled into one soup, my movies into one scene from Cannonball Run, my music into one song. It's a kind of meditative purity, my mind is clear of anything unnecessary, non-essential. Which is not to say my mind is empty, on the contrary, it is exactly full. No meniscus on the water glass, no pressure in any direction, complete and true balance. I give any extra money to charity, equally divided up amongst every charity in existence. I keep a savings account that will keep me alive until I am 83, at which point I will abandon balance and see what else there is. But until then, I am satisfied with perfection. [Buy]
