Going Crazy

I just spent the entire morning of my day off wigging out because I couldn't find my drivers liscense. I finally found it, hiding in a strange place in my wallet.

Seven Strangers

I know I'll get hooked on this season of the Real World just like all the other seasons. But, watching the first San Diego episode kind of disappointed me. It's been a long time (probably since the New Orleans season) that they have cast at least a couple of truly original and interesting people. I liked Paris because of the drama surrounding CT and the rest of the roommates. Las Vegas I stopped watching because pornography isn't a good thing for a single Christian guy. What was the one before that? Chicago? I watched, and the September 11 episode was some of the best 30 minutes of television I've ever seen. Before that, New York.... (I may be getting Chicago and New York mixed up, I don't know.) I liked the Mike and Coral storylines... ignorant but knowing it white boy vs. ignorant but not thinking it black girl, and the friendship that ensued from their problems. But none of those casts came close to being as intersting as New Orleans. I think New Orleans was probably the last of the old generation of Real World's.

Jonny Lang

The other day I bought the newest Jonny Lang album called "Long Time Coming." I was a little worried about it for two reasons. First, I heard the album was no longer blues, but more of a rock album. Secondly, I heard Jonny Lang became a Christian, which scared me a little. Because, by and large, Christians don't put out good music.

The album IS much different than his previous stuff, but I still like it. I love this guy's voice. I first heard his music about six years ago, when he was just a skinny teenaged white boy who sounded like a 50 year old black man who had spent many years living hard.

I've bought two cd's so far this year.... Jonny Lang and the Cold Mountain Soundtract. Both have been homeruns.

Later

I hope to post something more significant later today.
