Choosing Simplicity is a collection of interviews with people who have, in one way or another, simplified their lives. Breen herself wrote the book after becoming disillusioned with her life as a high powered attorney. Many of the people in Breens book made the leap after a major life change — the death of a family member, breast cancer, etc.
Carolyn Thomas – got breast cancer, moved into a small townhouse, got a job working for Salvation Army
Ken Honneger — PhD professional lives with his 25 year old son in 700 square foot apartment in Kansas City, Missouri. Currently living on savings.
Sara and Randy Hobart – moved to Montana from so that they could have time to home school their 3 year old boys
Brent and Ellen Farrows — moved from three bedroom apartment to 450 square foot apartment
* Don't expect to find your “right livelihood” immediately. It may take several attempts.
* Ignore social expectations. For example, after college graduation, Melissa Reid bought a $30,000 brick home in Madison, Wisconsin.
* Think carefully about you really need to be happy.
Movie ideas:
Radioelectronically linked clan of robots attempts to stop a fuel/air bomb laden ship in New York harbor.
A human-level intelligent robotic dog (looks just like a golden retriever) savages and kills a 3 year old. Dog launches lawsuit to prevent itself from being destroyed, arguing that it was forced to kill the 3 year old by a command from its owner, due to an overrided module planted in it's brain.
A nerdy geek in the neuromarketing labs at J&J develops a device that causes a woman to fall in love with you. He implants it in a woman he has been lusting for for years. She falls in love with him. However, she discovers what he's done, and although she still behaves lovingly on the surface, she subconsciously keeps trying to kill him.
A librarian wages legal battles against a Disneyesque corporation to gain access to their archives to preserve films which are slowly disintegrating.
Kim Jong Il's cook tries to survive and escape to South Korea (true story)
A dirty nuke levels most of NYC. The federal government declares martial law in order to “combat terrorism”, and becomes increasing fascistic. An underground scientist develops a scheme
A man sails a clawfoot bathtub across the pacific Ocean. (nearly true story)
90% of humanity has had neuro-upgrades that seamlessly wirelessly connect them to everyone within a 100 ft. range. A virus emerges which is designed to hop from person to person trying to reach a powerful man who killed the virus writer's daughter. A killler virus is sent after it to try to stop the first one. The movie is shot from the point of view of the viruses, as they move from person to person.
A man wakes up to find himself completely paralyzed and covered in bandages.
You know how square I am? I have strong urge to buy the boxed set of Newhart episodes.
Sure glad that the U.S. government is protecting me from foreign journalists.
A nice anti-copyright article to send to those who think that copyright exists for the benefit of the artists.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to violate some patent law.
