About Austin

Austin: 32, Male
Columbus, United States

About Me:: There really isn't a lot to say about me, other than you'll either love me or hate me. I've got a knack for saying the most off the wall things. I am 31 years old and live with my dog Oscar. He's pretty fly, and he seriously thinks that he owns the place. I'm pretty shy whenever I meet new people, however once I warm up to you then everything is wickedly groovy.

So you want to know more about me, eh? I'm a Melanoma survivor (Clark's Level III, Stage IB) who is slowly going deaf. Isn't that fabulous? I'll get to live my life, but not hear it. Haha! Seriously though, I'm pretty much at peace with going deaf.

I'm the guy who will argue any point for the sake of making people think. I'm the guy who thinks outside of the box, and presses the limit. I'm the guy who will say what everyone else is thinking, but too scared to say. Yes lawd, i'm that guy.

Where do you live? (city, state, country): Columbus, GA

Relationship Status:: Single

Favorite Quote:: “The only rule is don't be boring and dress cute wherever you go. Life is too short to blend in.” ~ Paris Hilton

Favorite Book:: The Historian

Your Website or Blog:: mylifefonthesecondfloor.blogspot.com/

What's your personal mission statement?: My goal in life is to be, "that guy!"

The Prayer of Saint Francis

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace,
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy;
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Rally 'round the enema!

Say what?! haha!! The other night there was a discussion started about enema's/colonics and the like. Somewhere in that thread I commented that buying toliet paper is a traumatic experience for me, and that I just don't see myself purchasing enema supplies. Tonight I went to the store where I worked a few years back, it's now a Rite Aid but a friend of mine was the manager on duty so I stopped in to visit with her. We started talking about cancer, and I found out that she is a surivor of cervi…

It just dawned on me!!!

I was reading a blog entry over at Planet Cancer regarding "Pity Looks." And suddenly it all clicked with me. I was making the best of a rotten week, I did so well... and then Thursday came along. This is what happened, this is why it started going south for me. I work in the claims department, and we had a departmental meeting (Oh, about 500+ of us) on Thursday afternoon. Every once in a while they will have an employee, or as in thursday's case a former employee, come in and share their story…

My personal roller coaster

Forgive me for being a nutjob, but I thought I'd share what's on my mind tonight. I'm feeling alone because my sister and I normally talk on the phone several times a day, but they just got two of her step kids, to make a total of 6 kids in the house and she's just going bananas!!! So now we get to talk maybe once every other day. On top of that, the new neighbors across the hall have a dog and this really has Oscar beside himself. He's pacing and whining and I can't deal with either of those…

Happy Thursday!!

Good morning everyone, Just wanted to do a special thank you for all of the warm wishes/comments. Y'all have rocked my world. I can do more response-wise when I get home from work tonight. As you probably noticed there was nothing posted by me yesterday... there's a reason…

How is Austin doing?

Well, I'll tell you. One of you groovy folks was about to get this as a comment on your page. But then I figured, that's not fair to dump it on one person. I've been trying to put forward a brave face lately, but it is quickly crumbling around me. As the night trods on, I've been a bit of an emotional train wreck. I don't really know why or how to explain it. This has been a stressful week for me. Work has been interesting this week, Oscar has been sick, my car is acting up again, and I'…

Buying a new camera after Oscar bites it - $249.99
Having corny friends - priceless!!

I guess Oscar won't be getting an Oscar will he? He would have to stay in front of the camera to have a shot at it (and I guess it would need to be a hollywood camera - not your home version). Well, it was a thought.

At 9:27pm on July 19th, 2008, Lana W said…: I was drawn to it too. I found some really neat images googling and this one just stood out. I like your's too. Oscar is a cutie! I see the look in his eye "this is my place - what is this camera doing in front of me - get out of here!" lol

Sorry to hear the new neighbors have him riled up. He'll settle down soon hopefully!

I am hanging in there, although it is tough. Every time I start to feel a little better something else happens and I am back at "wiped out". I keep plugging along though. I hope you are doing well and continuing to be "that guy".

At 3:51pm on July 19th, 2008, Marti said…: Yep, they are handfuls. The one we had growing up was a hunter, so funny, we lived in the country and she would disappear for hours hunting groundhogs and stuff. Never had another dog like her. The get cantankerous sometimes don't they? Like "get up off me, I don't want to see your ugly face today" attitudes. haha

At 3:09pm on July 19th, 2008, Dinahsoar said…: Thanks Austin for taking the time to read my blog! I know the doctor really had me there!! LOL Thank you also for the wishes of wellness!

At 2:43pm on July 19th, 2008, Marti said…: Hey I used to have a mini dachsund named Oscar! He was black tho so the buck stops there. We had another little brown one for 13 years while I was growing up. Love those little guys!

Thanks for all your supportive comments, Austin! This forum is so great, to have people who know what your going through and lift you up.
