A few things I've been into lately

John Popko  by John Popko
A few things that I’ve been into lately:

Music:
Ryan Adams
Ryan Adams and the Cardinals
Whiskeytown (fronted by Ryan Adams)


Recently I have been a very discontent and angry person. But there has been something about Ryan Adams and his music that has kept me from exploding. I’ve been sharing his music throughout the office recently and I encourage you to check him out as well. If you’re into good laid back tunes, you won’t be disappointed.

Movies:
Blow
Rock Star


Over the past two weekends, I’ve watched these two movies and wasn’t disappointed one bit. And although I don’t encourage drug use and the smuggling of illegal substances, you can’t help but root for Johnny Depp in the movie Blow.

And what can I say about Rock Star. I’ve always wanted to be a rock star. Unfortunately for me, I was not gifted with any musical ability. So for guys like me, watching this movie helped me escape for 2 hours and for that time, I was a rock star. Vicariously through Mark Wahlbergs character of course.

So if you’re bored one day, take some time and check some of these things out. Let me know what you think. Just a few things I enjoy.
