The Lowdown

The name is Austin and, yes, I live in Austin. I’ll wait for you to stop laughing. No, it’s okay. Just let it all out. Done? Good. No, it is funny, no one’s ever told me that before. It’s a good thing my name’s not Waco, right!

But enough about me. The blog! I envision this page as a forum where I will post my thoughts on significant developments in politics, religion, society, and living in the one and only ATX. But I’m sure I’ll mostly just post stuff I find elsewhere. Fair warning.

 

About Me:

-I am told that I have a tendency to mumble and talk really fast. Apologies in advance. 

-My accent has been described as “gay hick.” I prefer “educated redneck.”

-I have this habit of pointing in the general direction of a location when I mention it in a conversation. Usually, I am pointing nowhere near the actual place and am instead stabbing wildly into the air. 

-If you were to inquire about my waist size at an Al’s Formal Wear, they will lie to you cause they obviously don’t know how to measure for that stuff. 

-Five things to bring up in a conversation that will make me smile: The Legend of Zelda, Texas Football (specifically Colt McCoy), Japan, Arrested Development, the 1980s
