Nick and I drunkly discussed this last night and I think thats a rather tough question. Matt likes the minimalist ideas quite a bit. Dare I say I think it may be rubbing off on me. Here are my 7.
1. The Bible
The reasoning here is that I like reading, I like books. Well the Bible is a pretty versatile one with lots of stories and various things to analyze and place meaning to. Its a great book. Also, I figure at some point in my life I will be more serious about religion and I think it will be a good resource.
2. A lap top
To communicate, research, google where to eat, etc. I would be okay having to go to a coffee shop or something to use their internet, but I think a computer is the biggest tool I can have in todays society.
3. A cell phone
Part of the reason I would want to own few things was to increase mobility. To be able to pack up my back pack and move on. This means moving around a lot. I think a cell phone would be the number two most important item to have in todays society. Its a tool obviously to communicate but also to gather information. Also for personal safety, to be able to call and check in with family and contact resources if I needed help.
4. A cup
For numerous purposes. To drink, hold things, etc. I think it can take the place of many other items.
5. A fork
Because plastic dinnerware just won't do.
6. A spoon
And not all foods can effectively be eaten with a fork
7. A hairbrush
Because my hair is thick and I don't want to have gross hair just because of a minimalist philosophy.
