So I'm not Oprah and I can't give all of my readers each one of the things that I may list, but hopefully I can turn to you something that you may have never heard or confirm that you are cool because you like the same things too. So here is the beginning of an ever expanding list of petty possessions that I want to talk about.
Dave Matthews Band: I spent part of my trip down to Nashville listening to a new DMB album that I picked up. Here are a few reasons why I love DMB. They became popular in large part due to their live shows and they do not shy away from releasing live albums. Most bands are hesitant to do a live album because it's not as polished as a studio album. I have also found that some people do not prefer live albums for various reasons. I on the other love live albums because on a live album you can really tell if a band has musical talent or not. If it needs to be said, DMB has talent. I also like DMB because they are not afraid to expand and tinker with their songs from concert to concert. I could have 6 different recordings of a particular song and each one could vary depending on the solo or whatever else they want to add to it.

a peek into my world
So I've decided to rename the weekly update. I didn't like the title and I'm not completely sold on this one. Maybe my 4 readers, which could be an overstatement, can come up with something better.
The week that was:
Just what I needed. Slow. Relaxed. Nothing too big on the plate. The biggest thing that happened is that I drove to TN on Sunday after our middle school program. I left at 10AM (EST) and arrived at 10PM (CST). 13 hours baby! But I can't tell you how awesome it was to sleep next to my wife for the first time in a couple of weeks.
The week that is:
Not much going on down here in TN. I have some reading to do for class, some hanging out with family, Christmas, seeing old friends, etc.
What I'm listening to:
Wow, a 13 hr car ride gives you a ton of time to listen to things. The main things that I listened to were a new Dave Matthews Band CD, some praise and worship song that were generated by the genius feature on my iPod and the audio-book of "Jesus Wants to Save Christians." I'll post more about the book later this week.
What I'm reading:
Same old, same old. Stuff for class and I picked up the book "Crazy Love" by Francis Chan. I'm thinking this may be our required read for the mission trip this summer.
What I'm keeping my eye on:
The weather appears to be fluctuating quite a bit this week so that should be interesting. The Titans secured the #1 seed in the playoffs. The Tar Heels are looking really good this year in basketball.
Also, Holly, her mom, dad, sister and I saw our baby via ultrasound today. I just wanted to watch her move around and yawn and blink her eyes. I'm pretty sure that I will spend a lot of time just watching her when she finally arrives.
Lastly, I have quite a few random posts to put up this week thanks to the 13 hr car ride and much time to think. So stay tuned in!
