Pints and Pit Stops

A man's journey through the world

About

Hi, I’m Augustin!

Greetings, fellow beer enthusiasts, BBQ lovers, and the wanderlust souls. You are now amongst your people. I’m not a blogger, though a $30 Bluehost purchase and a couple of hours using my frontopolar cortex have proved otherwise. For a synopsis of what got me here, read my first post. If not, you assumed correctly, I have a lot of time on my hands. With that, I do a lot of research, and it’d be a shame not to share my findings with the world.

“Gather ye rosebuds while ye mey”

A lyric by Robert Herrick in the poem, “To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time.” A dead poet who taught us to seize the day. Such a cliche, but yet who lives it? I sure haven’t. This blog is just as much about trying to find the meaning of life, as it is about finding the best beer pub in the world. What more is a blog to do but inform and inspire? Let’s do this together, and be community builders.

As I embark on this writing journey, my hopes for a Pulitzer are high. I’d settle for a Nobel Prize in Literature or maybe Peace. I won a writing competition in 8th grade in an essay where I quoted the Beastie Boys. I was even in AP English throughout high school. Never mind the fact that I had to repeat a semester because I turned in a journal a day late. I’d be bitter, but that wasn’t the only time I was taught that lesson.

Have I not lost you yet? Well seems like something might be resonating. It’s probably my resounding credentials and sharp writing. I’d love to get to know you! Let’s share our favorite alcohol tales, share our favorite kinds of BBQ, and plan our next trip. Your input is just as valuable as mine. Welcome to Pints and Pit Stops.
