Welcome to the first true installment of Sights Unseen. My name is John Coston. I will spare you all the A.K.A's, and P.K.A's. I was asked to do this by the President/CEO of Massive Internet Radio (and a close friend of mine), David Brown. He asked me to just drop some of the wisdom and clown-like material that you would normally find on my FaceBook page. I said "Sure", and here we are. Now, when I'm on FaceBook, I have an assortment of material, like Word of the Day, #teamjohnny dating tips, pickup lines, etc. Yeah, I know, it's pretty ridiculous!! But it seemed like I had absolutely no material left over for the blog!! So I decided that, for the first and last time, I would talk about something very personal. June 12, 2011 is a date that, for most of you, doesn't mean anything. For me, its a date that has changed my entire life. Its the day I got arrested for DUI. Ill spare you all the details and Ill just sum it up like this. When you put on those county blues and that jail doorway closes on you, reality smacks you in the face. Now many of you reading this will talk about drinking and driving and the dangers of it, all of which I totally agree with. I could talk to you about all the negatives of it: The amount of money shelled out in terms of legal fees, court costs, fines, etc. I could tell you how embarrassing it was to tell my family members about it. But, to be honest with you, it hasn't turned out as bad as one would suspect. Inside of me, it started "The Shift." It began a change within me to become the person that I had always dreamed of becoming. Funny, articulate, well-read, you name it, Im trying to become it. Sometimes it takes great adversity for us to make a real change in our lives and, while I'm still going through the repercussions of my actions, I have strived to make everyday a productive day. I'm now a full time student at Kennesaw State University and achieved a 3.5 GPA (Damn U Calculus)! I became a member of the GA Society of CPAs and hoped to join the KSU Football Club soon. Most importantly, I haven't drank alcohol since that night and I have no desire to. I have heard the expression that life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we respond to it. I agree 100%!! Yeah, that was extra corny!! But I.A.G. (short way to say its all good-this will come up often). Im sorry I got a little heavy the first time around. But hey, it's my blog dammit!!! Anyway, leave a comment below and tell me some of your thoughts and this and future topics that you want me to blog on!! I promise they will not be this serious!! We will have as much fun as humanly (and legally) possible. First One Done!!! See you Next Week!!!
