Tennessee Trip: Day 1


I'm currently writing from my hotel bed in Murfreesboro, Tennessee... a lovely city and #84 on Money's 745 best cities to live in list.

There is very little to say about the trip thus far... got to the airport without incident... has some disappointing Caravel soft serve... slept on the flight... got a rental car and all that nonsense, it was all very easy. The two most exciting bits I suppose were me getting stopped and yelled at by security because I ran through the metal detector and I had my phone in my pocket and our cool waiter at Outback. I got grilled pineapple and he was a very nice guy, a student, and Ron Paul supporter. I also made a tower out of the coasters on the table.

In more interesting news.... Barack Obama runs for public office in Brazil... six of them actually. Article Here.

it looks very pretty, like a "real" american town. Tsk Tsk you are just not an experienced traveler, I guess if we ever travel I'll have to make sure you're on track. Also, Ron Paul supporter? I like grilled pineapples but did you HAVE to bring politics into this? I already don't like this college if it raises students that become Ron Paul supporters :p :p. And he couldnt have been that cool if you got bored enough to build a coaster tower. Want to know about my day after you left? Sleep-- sleep, and the exciting parts: playing star craft with Jordan, Vent with tracy, jordan and sewal, and talking to you and Jessie. Beat that. Oh and about the number 84 thing, I believe Money isn't everything--and cary ranks somewhere at number 5? Cary is really not such a great place to live :p. (how am I doing shooting this place down?)

Martin may have a number of good points about Murfreesboro, but I have a counter argument that will destroy them all: MurFREESEboro. Yeah, that's right. ... but... Ron Paul?! Really?!?! And how did you bring that up in conversation? "Yes, I'd like a grilled pineapple, a glass of water, and to know who you politically suppport."
