American: 100%

I've really enjoyed my iPod so far. It's great to have a little isolation device that blocks out all the sounds of the Metro and the street. Well, if not all the sounds, then most of them. I've been listening to Colossians and Hebrews, which has been neat. I can almost finish Colossians 3 times on my way home.

This morning I took a break from the New Testament. I found myself inordinately pleased by listening to Garth Brooks while crammed on the train. Looking around at all the veiled women and listening to Garth sing "Ain't goin' down til the sun comes up" was just great. Country music is about as American as music gets, and I found myself reveling in my different-ness.
