I went and saw Syriana last night. It’s an excellent flick, but extremely intense. It makes you wonder how close they are to what is truly going on in the Middle East these days. I highly recommend checking it out.

Now playing: Ryan Adams – A Kiss Before I Go

I’m headed off to Vegas this weekend with my buddy JRo, aka John Rogers. He’s a bit of a character who insists that everyone calls him Chanco. I’ve never got the exact explanation for this, but for some reason I refuse to follow the trend and have instead nicknamed him JRo. Yes, Ms Lopez was going by something very similar at the time…

Anyway, I rented Owning Mahowny thinking this would gear me up for the trip. I will say it was a great movie, but after watching that I no longer want to gamble. This guy had some serious issues!

Of course we all know once I walk into that casino, breathe in the fresh pumped oxygen, and hear the sweet bells of slot machines filling my ears, the unwillingness of handing over my hard earned money will all drift away! But, you can bet your ass if I’m up $9M at the black jack table I’m walking away!
