Fatty Thrashbrowns' 100% Pure Badass Motivational Get-My-Shit-Together 2020 Playlist

It's New Years Day 2020 as I type this. 2019 was the kind of year that shreds the soul, that depresses the spirit and leaves one feeling like a shell of your former self. 2019 wasn't the kind of year one celebrates as it passes. It was the kind of year one survives.

I spent Christmas of 2019 in Utah, crashing on my buddy Bishop's couch and visiting some of my nearest and dearest, people I love yet don't see nearly often enough. I met some amazing new friends.

In the midst of all this, I decided that 2020 HAS to be my year. I have to get myself stable mentally, emotionally and financially. I will have to work harder than I've ever worked in my entire life. I'll have to be resilient, strong and wise enough to know when I can carry my burdens on my own and when to ask for help.  So much can be accomplished in the space of a year, but to accomplish it, I need to go to war.

And every war needs a kickass soundtrack!

So this is the first installment in my 2020 100% Pure Badass Motivational Get-My-Shit-Together Playlist. These are songs that buoy my spirit, pump me up and most importantly, give me hope. I'll update this several times throughout the year. Maybe I'll even create a Spotify playlist with these tunes.

Anyway, here's the first twenty tracks. Heh. Twenty for 2020. Anyways, throw up those horns and let's get our shit together. TOGETHER!
