Austin's Fatal Truth

"Proceed to the route" A race against time  is one no man  has ever won No matter how far  life may carry us it'll never be as far  as we'd like Accepting our place  in life's timeline  brings us something  the constant chase  never will Internal peace So Stay in your lane Enjoy your moments  slowly as they pass Keep a gauge on what fuels you Be thankful for the ride Exits and off-ramps may pop up  their arrival unannounced As our time  along this road  has been  unavoidably preset Time will pass  despite our best efforts Never let that keep you  from rolling down  those windows  Or taking in  all the  delicious air  along the way  

Man, oh man. It's been awhile since my last list and I've seen and done a whole lot since then. Time to update those who have been around for a minute and introduce pieces of me to those who've only been around for a second. Think you know me? Try these on for size!

A few years back, before going to college but after graduation high school, I threw myself into the workforce to buy myself some time. I really needed to think about what it was that I wanted to do with the rest of my life. I wasn't sure I'd make it long being a backroom truck unloader that holiday season at The Christmas Tree Shops, but I learned one thing for certain. That was who I was going to be for the rest of my life. Meet Tony.

      Delete me. In a world of liars, phonies, and half truths, I'd like to get real. To say that I'm fed up at this current point in my life would be a ghastly understatement... Not that anybody that even MIGHT be reading this really remotely gives a shit. Which, in a way, is good. Because, I've decided to shut most of you out of my life in many ways.

I like to fancy myself as a pretty eccentric guy. Though funny for the most part, I'm also often perceived as a bit mysterious. So, with this piece, I wanted to pull back the curtain ever so slightly and reveal some of my personality traits and quirks that may not be immediately apparent. What makes me tick? I'm not sure... Let's find out together!

For this entry, I figured I'd write out some of the life questions I've struggled with. This is one is for those late-night over-thinkers like me who go from hanging up with a loved one to rethinking your entire existence and current life situation. It sucks, but it happens to everyone, in some capacity. In order to deal with these episodes (that I've had my whole life, mind you), I'm going to attempt to explain the most common late-night thoughts that plague me, and how I attempt to talk myself through them... Especially at the least opportune time, usually around two in the morning, especially when tomorrow is going to be an early day at work!

Seeing as this is a blog, and I like to consider myself somewhat of a writer, I figured it was about time I start making use of such an outlet (instead of continually customizing it without any actual content going up). Nonetheless, here we are... finally.
