Tell me a story...
about a vegan, subway-riding expert on financial transactions who invents a new system of philosophy.

1. I'll start.

LeftyMom always read the Wall Street Journey on the subway, and today was no exception. But she found herself more contemplative than usual. The financial transactions that were her area of expertise could not hold her attention, and she was unable to stop her mind from wandering.

2. You want my life story?
I'm not a vegan though. I do drink organic dairy. Other than that, I was born in a cold month and was labeled as a "problem child" with "special needs". That lasted until I took the CMT (Connecticut Mastery Test) in 3rd grade and aced them. That led to an IQ test (174), which led to being battery-tested to figure out why I "refused to succeed". Failed a driving test. Went to college, majored in Political Theory. Failed my driving test. Got a job as a development assistant, raised $1M in a year, failed a driving test, quit my job and moved back to DC, then Philly, then back to Hartford. Failed a driving test. Working on writing a cultural politics article and possibly going back to grad school. Hired by Starbucks as a barista/coffee master.

The End.

4. You'll have to wait for my cultural politics article
just like the rest of the plebeians. Oh, I'll give you a teaser...Homer Simpson is the answer to all great and profound questions, trees falling in the woods do make noise, Spam is people, the greatest good is love (It's also the meaning and purpose of life), God is a tree.

Did I miss any key points of interest and concern?
