“Allow me to reintroduce myself…” – Jay-Z, “Public Service Announcement”

So…here we are. My first post. I’m gonna be honest, I’m kinda freestyling it here. I haven’t had a blog in over 10 years (remember Livejournal???), so I’m a little rusty.

I guess I’ll start by telling y’all who I am. Although if you’re reading this, you probably already know who I am. Whatever. Anyway. I’m Don, but most people call me DJ. I turned 40 years old this year (my birthday was in August), but I don’t feel it. I definitely look it, though. The thing no one tells you about aging is that it happens all of a sudden. One day you look at yourself in the mirror and you barely recognize yourself. You have gray hair where it used to be black. You have a gut where your flat stomach used to be. And you make more noise getting out of and into chairs than the Planet Express landing*. It’s all downhill from here, or so I’ve been told. But, as I said, I don’t really feel it. Not yet, anyway.

I test drive cars for a living…hence, the name of this blog. I’ve been driving professionally for over 10 years. I’ve worked for several different companies, including the one I currently work for. I’ll use this blog to share some of my experiences from the automotive industry. (No specifics, obviously. They make you sign NDAs longer than a CVS receipt.) I’ll also share some stories about my life and things I’m into…music, video games, and whatnot.

So yeah…welcome. Hope you stick around.
