for those of you who are counting, yes, i'm writing this on day 6. but i didn't give an update last night, as my new sleeping grounds have a lack of internet. but i'm the author, and i can do it that way if i want to. so there.
let me tell you what, my friends, it is a completely different world out here. i caught a show last night, which isn't exactly something that happens frequently in nebraska. but here, there's probably 30 different venues having shows on any given night. it's amazing. we heard 4 different acts last night, ending with a gal named mattie diaz. and she was awesome. i hung out with a new friend i'd met the night before and asked him all kinds of questions about doing music for money. it's not an easy road, and there's a LOT of luck involved. but that's it for me. it's what i'm made for.
now don't get me wrong, i miss everyone back home (probably joey and phoebe most of all...), but i am officially addicted to nashville. there's a new switchfoot song out, called "this is home." it's played a couple times while i've been driving here and there (the christian station here is reminiscent of kearney's "hits one through six"), and this song just gets me every time. it was originally written for prince caspian, so it's about narnia and being made for a place that's so far and so different from your own, but still so completely right for you. and that's what it's like for me here. i think that's the best way i have to explain it.
yes, mom and dad, i'm handing out resumes and filling out applications like crazy. it's just not very blog-worthy, what with all the other fun things happening.
had my very first chick-fil-a experience today, and i gotta say, it was pretty extraordinary. nebraska definitely needs to discover that place. you don't know what you're missing.
i'm starting to feel like i have a decent grasp of where things are now. the city's laid out more like a spoke wheel than a grid, and the streets change their names more often than crazy horse's people. but i've used the "drive around until i find it" method (once i'm in the general vicinity), and it's been working out pretty well.
ahh, some brandon heath in the headphones. where are you, brandon? still hoping for a divine "coincidence" to let me run into him in the next week.
in other news, my feet are still swelling like crazy. not sure what that's about. if anyone has any ideas, give me a heads up.
keep praying for the job to come through. i've got a lot of places to hit up still. i love it here. more tomorrow.
p.s. for the love of pete, will you "anonymous" people writing comments please identify yourselves in your post?! it drives me nuts to not know who's posting.
