Something about purpose

In the last few months if you asked me what I'm listening to I'd probably bring up the Avett Brothers. They're really great and play the kinda music I enjoy, folk rock with banjo and guitar leading the way. They also sing about topics that I am personally interested in: namely girls, with a bit of God.

I went onto their wiki page and came across this quote which made me think and maybe will make you think.

“Our hands and minds, legs and mouths, eyes and ears, arms and feet were all made with purpose, and though you may never find that exact purpose, it is your obligation to yourself and God to search for it ...”

Enjoy thinking, and enjoy your weekend.

What I'm listening to at the moment

I created another playlist of songs I'm listening to called 'An Acoustic-Choral-Folky Playlist'. This time its a bit slower and more choral. These are songs I'm really enjoying at the moment and are pretty cool.

I made the playlist shorter this time as I think it gives it all a better flow instead of just being a bunch of songs thrown together (at least thats what happened in my head).

Songs I'm listening to at the moment

I decided to create a playlist of some of my top songs at the moment. The list has some music that I think deserves a listen and that isn't well known especially in South Africa. Excuse the hipster-ness of the list. Here is the playlist on Grooveshark http://grooveshark.com/#/playlist/What+s+Happening+In+My+Ears+At+The+Moment/53065518?src=5 (let me know if the link doesn't work).
