I am an ex-yuppie minimalist that no longer drives a car or practices religion. I attended Columbia College and Northeastern University and studied literature in Chicago. I've lived in New York City, Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and Alabama. I dropped out of the corporate world because I got tired of being a clone in a Zombie Nation.
