Helping people

Just got home from work, extremely tired. For some reason my feet hurt really bad, I suppose it was from standing up almost all of yesterday while we fished. I didn't think about it until today, but we legitimately fished for 4 or 5 hours, or so it seems. Maybe thats not a long time to anyone else, but my feet are hurtin', so whatever. Woke up this morning and was 15 minutes late to work because of a train. What garbage. Every single morning I get up, and I take a left onto Huger St., and theres a train. Every day I tell myself while stopped at said train: "I am definetly taking a right and going down Assembly tommorrow...." Sadly, I never take my own sound advice. I'm sure tommorrow morning will be the exact same thing. In the words of Chase, "The true meaning of ignorance is repeating the same process and expecting different results." Or something like that.

So I get to work and get my first delivery, its to the Branhams off of Devine. I drive downtown and deliver the part. As I'm leaving, about a half mile from Branham's is an old white Ford, ripoff of a Geo Metro with a flat tire. There is a woman standing beside it kind of looking confused/hot as hell because its burning up outside. This woman had to be late 70's or early 80's. She was OLD. I stopped my car because there was no traffic and asked her if she needed help. It was obvious that she wasn't going to change the tire herself, so I offered to do it for her. She thanked me after and tried to pay me, but I couldn't at all find it in me to take her money. It was both satisfying and depressing at the same time. I was really torn between emotions after this ordeal. Let me explain. Helping someone else is so ridiculously gratifying, especially when you are helping someone do what they cannot do alone. Its completely wonderful and I am 100% sure I got this trait from my Mom. Well from Jesus, but you know. Anyhow, while I was so stoked that I got to help this lady out, I was so not stoked on the fact that she is old as crap, driving a beat up piece of a car that probably didnt have air conditioning, while I zoom around town in my air conditioned 2000 Taurus. I almost wanted to trade cars with her. Part of me really believes she deserves it more than I do anyways. I hate seeing older people in bad positions, because you know they've probably been through some major junk in their life. So that was a bummer, but what can you do. I am thankful that I was given an opportunity to help someone and took it, because I know there have probably been times when I haven't taken those kind of opportunities because I'm a selfish ass. I've got a lot of making up to do! Ok no more sad things, praise God for allowing me to help someone.

So today I have only made two videos, at least thus far. I started one in the Bojangles drive thru, while i was getting myself a cajun chicken biscuit combo w/sweet tea. I was discussing Bojangles and then randomly noticed Alabama on 94.3 or whatever. So stoked, so I sang along. It turned out decent, at least I don't sound like a complete idiot. I mean, at least the song is fitting to my life. Watch me introduce Bojangles/sing Alabama's "Born Country" HERE.

The second video was a little later, and I was on the interstate taking an auto part to Lexington. I saw this sweet truck and decided to show everyone what I want in a vehicle. Kind of lame, but this is my blog, so I'll include a Short CLIP of a jacked up truck if I want to.

Also, if anyone who reads this lives in the Georgia/South Carolina area and knows of anyone selling a mid 90s big truck, especially diesel, get at me.

I am about to go workout and then band practice. I'm sure I will update this again at some point tonight. Peace!
