Shawny Mac Tonight!!!

In lue of the Shawn McDonald show tonight (or Shawny Mac as I like to refer to him), thought I would throw a quick post up. I first came across Shawn McDonald's music my senior year at Elon. I was actually with a group of friends studying for an exam and his CD was playing as background music. It probably went through a couple of times and I was immediately hooked! At this point, he was a brand new act on the "Christian Music Scene," and his debut album, Simply Nothing still remains one of my favorite CD's of all time - it ranks right up there with Hootie's Cracked Rear View, yea, I just said that!! There aren't a ton of CD's that you can throw on and let them play through start to finish, not at first anyways. It usually takes a while for a few of the songs to grow on you - that was not my experience with Simply Nothing. I saw him in concert about a year later, just after the release of his 2nd CD. It was a small show, basically an acoustic set, and it was awesome!! While I do have 4 of his CD's, I'm not as up to date on him as I was a couple of years ago - but I'm still pretty stoked about his concert tonight. I must say, I was a little shocked when I heard our church, in Thomasville, North Carolina, was bringing him in to do a show. I actually asked if he was going to need a place to stay while he was here, haha - I'm such a child (my wife will agree). If you happen to read this, and you happen to me in or near Thomasville today/tonight, I would highly recommend you coming by. Pace Park in Thomasville, near the Big Chair! Ohh, yea, and it's FREEE!!

I may be the world's worst blogger...

So I started this blog, what, like 8-9 months ago?? I could go back and check of course, but I'm going off the cuff here. I'm pretty sure it was at the beginning of the year. Well, whenever it was doesn't really matter, because I have been beyond terrible at keeping it up. I think I may have blogged three times in January and haven't touched it since. I feel like one of my 3 blogs, maybe more than one actually, aluded to the fact that I'm really bad at starting things and not finishing them - books would be a great example. The book thing could have something to do with the fact that I don't love to read. My wife on the other hand can tear through a book in a matter of hours, she absolutely loves it, and watching her rip through page after page really does fascinate me a bit. I'm a rambler, that's what I do...This isn't a blog full of content, just basically making the statement of how poor a job I've done. I'm going to try and hold myself accountable to this - not that I need to do this necessarily, it's just something I thought I would enjoy. I do have a lot to say, and on occassion, some of those things actually have value - at least I think they do!! Well, let's see how long this lasts...until next time!
