The Left Lane Research
for Reason
Attempting to find the Meaning in the Fast Lane
It all
started with a rally. A very FANCY rally that was WAYY out of my league to
join. Money, fast cars, skinny women, parties, and sleeping a total of 30 hours
in seven days – this was my newest goal for achieving ‘success’ within my mind.
I was
merely that fat guy who lived in Winston that called himself, ‘40’. A jolly
bloke who was chill, cheerful, and when under the influence, made the antics
known and the immediate setting of others one to follow.
It
changed though. OHHHHH my goodness did it change. Once I had a taste of that
left lane dream – my career to be able to afford a $35,000 yearly trip around
the world legitimately became my ultimate dream, fantasy, and motivation to be
wealthy.
But,
what I did not know what was in store for me and my future would be highly the
opposite. It started with a link from youtube. “The Carrera goes crazy”, or
something like that. And I was hooked. The pure passion of automobiles, the
artistry of design for exotics, and the speed won me over instantly, along with
the perfect driving music to keep ones attention on track while driving over
150mph.
The
rally days had begun.
I found a blank cd, recorded tracks that I felt were
suitable for driving like a rally professional, and NEVER removed this cd from
my cd player inside of my car for at least 4 years. Over and over I constantly
played this album, never really focused on the lyrics, but more of the beat and
tempo – this became my soundtrack to driving in the fast lane.
What I did not know is that a higher source of creative
intervention was riding along beside me the entire time.
