Rats,Cats and Baseball Bats.

[I didn't realize I'm so creative I used similar blog titles for the last 2 blogs. So I changed it. hahaha]
I've been busy. Yes. Busy as a bee.
I'm sorry to say that blogging has fallen just under doing laundry on my priority list. 
I will try to do better. This blog will be a little sporadic [random is an overused word]. 
Mostly just essential thoughts you should know.

I think we often do things out of habit..not necessarily because we want to, or actually enjoy them. I'm finding this out in my own life.

I read a quote online a while back, it said: the word testify derived from a time when men were required to swear on their testicles. THAT. IS. HILARIOUS. to me. I'm sorry if it offends you. And I have no idea if that is true or not.

I also read one on a poster:
Imagination is more important than knowledge...knowledge is limited, but imagination encircles the world. To see with one's own eyes to feel and judge without succumbing to the suggestive power of the fashion of the day, to be able to express what one has seen and felt in a trim sentence or even in a cunningly wrought world...is that not glorious? When I examine myself and my methods of thought. I come to the conclusion that the gift of imagination has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing absolute knowledge.
-Albert Einstein
Right on, Albert. Right on.

Some people just don't get it. They just don't.

My work schedule is whack..usually when I'm not working, I'm sleeping. :)
Working! Ah! Did I tell I have a new job? Well I do.

I'm a valet in downtown Nashville. Go ahead, be jealous. It's awesome. I love it a lot. 
There are some things you should know about being a valet, and I will tell you them.
1. Unless you want to get lost in Vanderbilt University, NEVER, I repeat NEVER turn on 24th Ave. Ever. Confusion will ensue. That's a promise
2. I have short legs. This is a fact. Most of the rest of the world [or maybe just the people who stay at my hotel] has astronomically long legs. Seats must be adjusted accordingly...quite often.
3. Being a valet gives you the privilege of driving AWESOME cars. Seriously. I can't tell you how many Escalades I've driven. Not because it's confidential but because I don't know. I've driven 3 Jaguars [HOLLA!!!] and lots of other fun things. My friends at other hotels tell me that if I work at a certain hotel on certain days of the year, I can meet visiting football teams! SCORE! :)
4. I drive a shuttle too. It goes within a 3 mile radius of the hotel. It's so fun! I get to meet all kinds of interesting people! I think the coolest person [well, really irony, I guess] I drove was a girl from Chicago who had been to the bike shop I worked at! Cool!? I think you mean AAAAAAAAAAWESOOOOME!
5. Standing is required. Unless you're my friend Shawn who breaks the rules. It's not always fun. But sometimes it's ok. 
6. The first weekend I worked, a guy I trained with didn't show up for his shift so I worked from 3pm Saturday to 3am Sunday. Yea...that was interesting.
7. Drunk people. They are few and far between [because my hotel is farther away from the bars] but they are always interesting when they happen upon you. During the 12 hour shift mentioned above, I encountered 4 of them. One called me sir. Yea. I'm not entirely sure how I was mistaken for a male but whatev...and the other 3 invited me to come hang out with them when I got off work...AT 3 IN THE MORNING. No thanks guys, I think I'll sleep instead.
8. Shoulder pads. I'm almost convinced these were the cause of the gender confusion. I can't prove it. But I must admit I do not look cute in those blasted things. Not. At. All. 
9. The tips are AWESOME. Well, if you're not a boy who cares only about money, they're awesome. Other wise, apparently they stink.. I seem to be one of like 3 people who don't complain about the pay. Honestly, I'm just glad to have any job at all.

It's only my 5th Friday. I'm sure I'll have more interesting tidbits to come.

I will be giving oboe lessons to a 7th grader. That will be fun. I hope she likes me.

I have some fun new pictures on my fun new phone that I want to share with you. I want them all: 
1 Peter 4:8-Above all, love each
other deeply, because love covers
over a multitude of sins.


This is should be Bertha's boyfriend.
He's beautiful and I'd love to have him.


If I can't have Bucky Blue I'll settle for
Gomer Grey. He's even cooler than Bucky.
So cool he couldn't fit in the whole picture.


I have more to say. But I will save it for later. Just know that it's all FABULOUS. :) hehe.
You're probably still wondering what the title of this blog has to do with anything in it..well I'll tell you: absolutely NOTHING! muahahahaah and I can do that because it's MINE! :)
