The Cynic Says……

Just got back from Nashville… I have to say I had a good bit of fun. It was SO NICE being out of Knoxville for awhile. We spent maybe 8 hrs at the LAN party, about 2 of which was playing games, the rest of which was just generally fucking off, eating, talking to people, and downloading tons of stuff off other people’s computers. Amusingly enough, they were giving away free prizes and whatnot…. and in doing so, they ended up getting 2 shoes and a t-shirt stuck in a tree. Someone decided to throw the tree out into the crowd and got it stuck in the tree… then in trying to get it down, 2 shoes got stuck. My friend Sam won a Thermalright SL-700A heatsink for his computer by winning a game of Simon Says. So aside from the LAN party, we visited Best Buy in Brentwood and then ate at Schlotzsky’s there on Saturday afternoon… Brentwood is the rich suburb of Nashville and DAMN could you tell. I don’t think I saw a single car older than a 1991 and EVERYTHING there is nice. Saturday night after the LAN, we ended up eating at the Hard Rock Cafe, which was ok at best. The waitress was pretty nice looking and she was cool as shit. I had probably the worst Long Island Tea I’ve ever had in my life there, though. I swear the fucking thing was 3/4 sweet & sour mix. UGH! Today after we woke up, we went to Opry Mills Mall and checked it out. I’d been before and I warned Sam that it was fucking HUGE. Apparently he didn’t quite grasp my concept of HUGE because it took us a good 20 minutes to cover HALF of it, at which time he said “fuck it, no more walking”. We saw an IMAX film there about NASCAR, which was just plain cool as shit. I hate NASCAR but this movie was just cool as fucking shit. I definitely will make a point to see an IMAX movie whenever possible, no matter what it is. And yeah, there are just a ridiculous amount of hot girls there… on Broadway (the strip), they just seemed to travel in packs of 10-20… it was just fucking nuts. Even at the mall, there were tons of hot girls (most of whom were definitely over age). Even our waitress at Chili’s at the mall was just hot as fuck. So yeah, Nashville rocks nuts. So much better than Knoxville, it’s not even funny.
