iBlog numero uno

So I'm stealing Scott Jackson's idea for giving you lovely people a look at what's on my iPod.

Mine is cooler because I thought of a clever name. These blogs will be called "iBlogs". BOOM.

So Memphis May Fire just got added to the 3SN playlist. If you're wondering what songs..
-Vices
-Prove me right
-The sinner
-The redeemed
You're welcome. :)

I've been listening to their older stuff lately, like the "Sleepwalking" album. The album speaks the same messages as the more recent albums, but has a very southern rock feel in the guitar. A few months ago I was hooked on "The Hollow". The album titles and songs tell a story, they're all called "The sinner", "The victim", "The commanded", you get the idea.

I've also been going back with For Today a bit,  the "Breaker" album is on at least once a day in my car. Go listen to "Arm the masses", and listen for the scream that's used towards the last quarter of the song.. blew my mind. The interludes are also powerful stuff.

Lastly, I've been listening to everything Underoath.. okay maybe not their really really old stuff, can't say I'm a fan of that first album. I love listening to how their sound has changed and improved over the years. Sad that their time has come to an end, I'm just hoping that we'll see the UO guys in other bands soon, maybe even some of them together.

I don't like having stuff.

I have been getting really weird lately about owning things. I can't handle having all this stuff that I don't use very often. I want my guitars, longboard, laptop, sure. But that paintball gun, it's been sitting there a year. Why do I still have that hockey jersey? I don't like hockey. Why do I have all these books that I will never bother reading again. Not to mention the clothes that I don't wear. I haven't used those games in forever.
I've been reading about the disciples quite a bit and how they gave up everything to follow Christ, but it wasn't just their material possessions. They had to give up the lives they led, their families, they had to give up their uncertainty and their doubt, and most of all, their sinful ways. There's a lot that I have to give up to be able to follow God as I'm meant to, and getting rid of all this junk is kinda symbolic for me I guess. I need to start honoring God by doing things on time and being organized, and I'm hoping it'll help with that, too. TLC my bedroom, which will help clean up my mind, and then my life, hopefully.
