V-day or D-day whichever you prefer...

Happy Valentine's Day! I really hate to complain about it like every other person who is single, but it's never been my favorite holiday. Not even when I had a boyfriend. He was always good with cards and gifts and surprises, so it wasn't that they were always bad, but my V-days weren't always great either. But, just another "American" holiday used to spend and make money off of. I'd hardly say I'm not a true American for not being a fan of today...I've seen more complaints and hate messages on facebook/twitter than any promoting this holiday for love. I don't care so much that I'm single, but for most people out there it's just another reason to feel sorry for themselves being "alone." That doesn't seem right either. And, if you are in a relationship, you should be doing the same things on this day than you would any other day of the week. That's a real relationship. A real, healthy one atleast. When I'm ready for another relationship I want everyday to feel like "valentine's day," like everyone should. Anyway, I hope everyone is celebrating this American holiday as you please and will end it with a sigh of satisfaction instead of one of loneliness. I've had a relaxing day filled with cupcakes, mexican, and a bubble bath. I will finally end it with my favorite Sunday tv night shows. Pretty normal Sunday for me. Maybe one day I will change my mind when someone blows me away with my most exciting Valentine's yet, but I highly doubt it. It'll still probably always be just another day for me...

Besides all that, Nashville was AMAZING. I had the best time ever! I cannot believe how much a 2 day trip alone can be. Well, I traveled alone, but met up with a friend once I was there. I did have the whole first day to myself though. I got a cab to Broadway of course, my favorite street in Music City USA. I walked in some hole in the wall shops I had never been in before, checked out the new Dolly Parton memorabilia store, then sat at my favorite bar TOOTSIES from 12pm til about 6pm. Nashvegas is definitely the only place I'd walk into a bar alone. Made plenty of friends by the time I left. I had all my luggage so the singer on stage kept picking on me since everyone knew I was from out of town. Tootsie's is famous for the big wig's getting their start and of course, HOLLER & A SWOLLER! I danced, drank, and listened to the bands all day, didn't want to leave, but my friend picked me up after she was off work. We went to her apt and called it an early night.
The next day was AWESOME. We arrived at the studio for the music shoot and took tons of pictures. Every office you could see into had tons and tons of guitars and cd covers hanging all over the place. What I'd do to land a job at that place, or anywhere in the music business for that matter. We had a caterer on location. All the extras were dressed in black and we got to dance and sing to the song about 100 times! I was loving it, we were there all day. Eric Church was amazing. He was very down to earth and talked to us the whole time between takes. It's gonna be an awesome video, I hope you can actually see me in it!! I don't think I will ever be able to top something like that. One of my best days ever for sure. I wanna do it again!!! After that my friend Cherie took me to Music Row, the Opry House, and Opry Mills. Virginia just doesn't have the shopping like Nashville. Definitely more my style there!! They have boots for days....I fell in love. I was heart broken to come back. I still miss it. My friend Lauren and I have already talked about relocating there when we graduate! Yeehaw right...
