Nahville baby!!

This has been a fun trip. First, my cousins are crazy. One is really drab natured and the other acts a little younger. They both crack me up. Second, my uncle is losing his hearing and he's so funny about stuff. My cousin said we would get some Krystals to go and my uncle asked where we would take them. Crazy little things like that. My younger cousin and I just got done taking pictures in her Civil War Confederate gear. She's a huge history buff and loves the Confederate stuff. Cool beans. Confederate pride is everywhere and it is amazing. Finally some people who stand up for their heritage instead of worrying about being politically correct...or something.

Nashville isn't too bad a town. It's very southern, but modern too. There's a lot of automotive stuff here; we saw the Nissan North America building and one of my distant cousins works in the factory for them. I am going to Bridgestone to interview and quite a few people work there too.

But yeah my relatives have treated me like royalty. They took me to Fazoli's on Friday night, cooked me breakfast on Saturday, took me to an awesome Mexican place for dinner and then to Coldstone for a late snack. Today we had pizza and Krystal's for dinner. They like pop-tarts too! It's awesome. I asked for a drink while they were out and they bought me a case. Their house is super sweet too. I am staying in a room that some famous musicians slept in. The guy who lived here before was a record producer. I forget who they said had slept in here. It's like an apartment here in the basement. I have a full kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and living room. Too sweet. The house next to this one was up for sale for 4.5 million dollars. US dollars.

Anywho, tomorrow I interview at 1pm at who knows where and then fly out at 430. I go from here to Dallas (WOOHOO) to Tulsa (not so woohoo). Then I drive home after forking over 3 dollars for tolls. This has been a fun trip and I have met a lot of cool people who might just be able to get me the hook up someday. We'll see.

You might not get up, but you'll be awake

Quick update and then I'm out. Spring break was the most amazing thing ever! It was cheap, slow and full of lots of reading and having a great time other ways. Some highlights:
My ID is a fake?
I can't talk at all?
Dude, where's the car?
We're eating where?
Some interesting questions that came up this trip. Besides Joe's Garmin basically taking us into nowhereville, it was straightup awesome. The condo was massive, the clubs were kickin and the food was excellent. Plus I beat my budget by over forty dollars.

I have an interview with Raytheon on Thursday, Bridgestone-Firestone in Nashville, TN on Monday and an interview with Lockheed on Tuesday. I have an offer of employment from FlightSafety in Tulsa and hopefully an interview with Boeing in the near future. Life is going fast, so I'm am struggling to make good decisions and hold on for dear life. Not sure if the mission trip is going to happen, we'll see and pray.

So this place is amazing. We have two king beds, two bunk beds, two rooms and two full size bathroom. The kitchen is as big as my living room and kitchen added together. It rained some yesterday and was windy like crazy. The lifeguards were running around telling people to get out of the water. Today it's nice, but taking a little bit to warm up, plus we're waiting on Drew S and a few others to show up.
On Tuesday, Joe and I went into the surf and tried snorkeling. It was intense! We were getting battered by the waves and ended up about half a mile down the beach. I nearly lost my flippers, but I pulled an awesome dive move and grabbed it. Ryan and I dug out some nice wind blockers and it was pretty amazing sitting in the sun. Later that night we hit up a nice restaurant and then hit the club. The guy didn't think my ID was legit, so he questioned me for like 5 minutes. Finally the line piled up and he let us in, no cover. So my total bill for the night was $20, including drinks and food. I also found a 2G SD card. It had some nice pictures on it, but nothing too special.
Last night we just watched movies and chilled. Tonight we'll hit it hard and spend the leftover money on whatever we fill like. Club LaVela, here we come!!! All you can eat crab legs, here I come.

Go tell your momma

I am taking a deep breath and I know that this sensation will pass. I am not a crazy, anal person. I am not a neat-freak. I do not care if I have to clean up after you, because Jesus was a servant. What would Jesus do? He will not yell at you for smacking excessively. He will not hit you in the face with the pots you leave dirty. He loves everyone, even those people without any sort of sense of cleanliness. He wants me to be a servant and take joy in cleaning your hair off the toilet, out of the bathtub, off the sink and off the floor. He wants me to take out the trash even when it is possible for you to do so yourself. He wants me to continually unload the dishes that have been clean for hours now. Jesus wants me to serve you in the most humble fashion that I can. I will not yell at you for being irresponsible. I will not insult you, belittle you or talk behind your back. I will smile and ask you how your day was, I will laugh at your lame jokes and help you out if you need a hand. That is what Jesus wants me to do and I am thankful for the chance I get to be a servant. Thank you Jesus. Thank you God. I am your servant and I will remain that way. Thank you.

What do I do to make you serve me?
