Dreadz & Slutz

Last night we were apt to look for the deadz and slutz crowd to invite to our party (more on that laters), but then I read today that just like thongs - Sluts Are So Over - or at least the clothes they wear. Thank god! I will finally be in style.

Anyway, I've gotten a couple of IM's and emails today about what's going on tonight. Truth is - I don't know. I guess I'm gonna have a drink (or 5) at Melange, check out The Deli and then drag some folks over to the Buccanneer. Carlos laughed at me last night when I suggested stopping by the Buc, but I like it. He hasn't been since high school - so I think he can still be converted.

Anyway - tomorrow's the big day - Cooper Young Fest and record spinning at Last Chance. See ya there. Say hi for god's sake!

Sushi & Pasties

Where do the cool kids go on Thursday night? Can anyone tell me? I didn't get a call until 10PM which should have told me to just stay in my pajamas and make some popcorn, but instead I got in the shower and headed up to Melange to rendevous with the boys and make a decision about where to go. We made a couple more stops but nowhere really hit the spot so we called it pretty early.

So, where does everyone go on Thursday? And don't say Atlas, cause that's never happening. We thought Beale would be pretty kicking with the Louisianans in our midst, but it's hard to make myself go down there. We saw a little bit of a crowd at Sidestreet on our way back to Melange, but by that time we'd kind of lost our steam and decided to go home and save our energy for tonight.

I Feel Naked

So this hot boy from Mass. sent me a MySpace friend invite and I accepted. As I mentioned, he was HOT and we had a lot of similar interests so I sent him back a flirty message saying that I thought we were soul mates. It really just seemed like a cute thing to say and I didn't really think twice about it. He replied asking me why I said that, so I wrote back saying that he was cute, we liked the same things and he lived a million miles away so whatever, right?

His next response is what really threw me for a loop. He told me that he also thought I was cute and had been reading my blog. Then he throws out:

and with all due respect, from reading your thoughts, I think you and I would want two different things in a relationship. but thanks for the kind words, and good luck finding somebody who has what you want.

What the hell does that mean? First of all, I was just flirting, no one said anything about a relationship. I got shot down by a guy who's never even met me! How's that for a hit to the ego! It's weird to be judged like that. What do I want in a relationship? I don't even think I know, so how does he?

Anyway, here's my new desktop.

Spammers Suck

Alright, I am sooooooooooo depressed. I got my internet connection back today only to recieve way too much email to wanna actually read and about 600 spam comments on this here blog. Thanks Assholes!!! I'm gonna delete them all though. It'll probably just take me through the weekend to get it all done.

Anyway, Ryan and I decided to just stay friends. I spoke to him before the show, he was out on Beale enjoying a blues act, even ponied up for one of their CD's. He played an excellent show, I watched from about two feet away. He played lots of new stuff and talked about how his next album will be on his own label. I could review the show, but its all so biased, it would be stupid for me to spend any time gushing about how totally awesome he is, so I won't. If you want something more partisan, she went too. Oh, and he made fun of me.

So, if you're in Memphis this weekend and plan on attending the Cooper-Young Festival, try to stop by Last Chance records on walker behind the deli to hear yours truly and friends spin records and drink beer.

Last Chance
2072 Walker Ave. - Memphis, TN 38104
Phone: (901) 272-7922

Check It Out

1. My internet is down. If you need to email me you can use the yahoo account.

2. I am going to see Ryan Adams tonight, so if I have any talent at all, I'll be married in Vegas by Thursday, if not, my internet should be back up by then.

Wish me luck!

I like Exclamation Points

Hey Kiddos - what's cooking? After a long evening Friday night out with the boys, I am finally feeling like myself again. I woke up the next day having one of those epiphanies where you remember the previous evenings events and you begin to make plans to change your entire life. You swear you're never gonna have another drink, you're definitely going to join a gym and wonder who you contact about all that charity work you've been meaning to do. Today all those goals have been slightly changed to: Hey, Barcardi and diet coke only has 55 calories? Well, that's a good start.

I made plans with three different people on Friday night to do three different things on Saturday night. Luckily for me, no one actually wanted to do anything with me, so I got to reconnect with my couch and a Dawson's Creek Marathon. It's really the worst show ever made. I have muscle cramps today from rolling my eyes so much last night. I don't think the cast are necessarily bad actors, although Michelle Williams as the femme fatale - worst.casting.ever, it's just really the worst written show I've ever seen. Teenagers just don't talk like that. Have you ever seen the dipshits on mtv reality shows - from road rules to the real world to made? That's how teenagers act. Oh, wait a minute - those peeps are in their 20's! Catch my drift?

Anyway, in better news - the NYT has finally gotten wind of something I knew three years ago - the thong is so over!(BTW, yes you have to sign in to read the NYT, but if you don't have a login, well, c'mon!)

Oh, and I never do this - but check out a really funny IM between me and Patrik:

patty_dreggz: just bought BOTH LE tigre's albums
patty_dreggz: they are so damn fun
Rachel Hurley: really! cause of my post?
patty_dreggz: ya ya
patty_dreggz: they are so up my alley
Rachel Hurley: That's awesome! you have just validated me!
patty_dreggz: YAY
Rachel Hurley: you have to post that on ss! what an ego boost!
patty_dreggz: I just did
Rachel Hurley: right on!
Rachel Hurley: you just made my day!
patty_dreggz: aww - well you helped make mine
Rachel Hurley: i like exclamation points!
Rachel Hurley: !!!
Rachel Hurley: LOL
Rachel Hurley: and I never write lol
Rachel Hurley: but i really was
patty_dreggz: I like em too
patty_dreggz: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Britney=Misunderstood

It's pretty embaressing, but I've been glued to the tabs and the continuing saga of Britney Spears and Kevin Federline. Funnily enough, maybe it's the Memphis in me, but her antics just aren't as shocking to me as they are to say, oh, Mark. (We had a little debate about the trashiness of Britney last week)

Anyway, with that being said, when I read this, I laughed so hard I peed a little.

Shorties

This never gets old.

And the Hits Just Keep On Coming

Remember my post about Bush's OBGYN comment?

This makes it even funnier.

Aren't the media supposed to be unbiased. It's a left-wing conspiracy!

Top 11 reasons why Dubya said, "Too many OB/GYNs aren't able to practice their... their love with women all across this country."

1. He thinks an OB/GYN is a faith-based organization.

2. Kerry operatives found the frequency at which Karen Hughes transmits to Dubya's "hearing aid."

3. Dubya's adolescent "Dr. Bush" fantasy revealed in unscripted moment.

4. Squandered his attention-span on the first part of the sentence: spelling O-B-G-Y-N.

5. Lost in memory of his favorite television western: "Have Speculum Will Travel."

6. Lowering expectations for upcoming debates.

7. Transparent appeal to female voters who blame themselves after being sexually assaulted by their doctors (an archetypal GOP demographic).

8. Departed CIA director George Tenet is to blame for any inaccuracy in the speech.

9. Tactical flub to divert attention from covering-up Saudi financing of 9-11, allegations of his cocaine use at Camp David, photo of him with service medals he was never awarded, etc.

10. Sending-up a trial balloon for "no gynecologist left behind" legislation.

11. He's an idiot!

The Cult of Cable

I watched Nip/Tuck for the first time tonight after Jason suggested it. It's amazing all of the crazy stuff they could fit into just the first half hour, including but not limited to:

Talk of vaginal rejuvination

Watching your spouse have sex with another woman
Reconstructive surgery set to a beat
Implants, Implants, Implants
Not to mention the use of the word "pussy"
Death via hot lesbian kissing

This show has everything! I gotta go grab the first season DVD.

Bush: OB-GYNs kept from 'practicing their love'

POPLAR BLUFF, Mo., Sept 6 (Reuters) - U.S. President George W. Bush offered an unexpected reason on Monday for cracking down on frivolous medical lawsuits: "Too many OB-GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country."

This is from the guy running for President. I just thought I would point that out.

Labor Day Weekend Wrap-Up or My Side of the Story

Well, another Labor Day weekend gone and another story to tell. I had a good one. It started Friday night when I picked Patrik up and we went on a search for a rumored new Sekisui downtown. After finally relenting and calling to find the address, we were told that it had yet to open and so we headed back to the one in mid-town. We blabbered all through dinner and ended up closing the place down. Then we hit Melange for a drink at the bar and a few pleasantries with the regulars. Then we made our way to XYZ.

It's funny how sometimes you end up in just the right place at the right time. I wouldn't have even thought about going to XYZ Friday night except that Lorin IM'ed me that she was spinning there and we should drop by. We got there and were blown away at Lorin's set, it was great. We meant to tell her, but she snuck out before we got the chance. The whole night turned out to be an old school reunion summed up by Charles Ben Wa when he rolled up to our table outside and asked if he had to have his old folks card to be able to sit with us. Patrik and I both got to catch up with a lot of old friends and we had a great night. So good, that I ended up leaving my ATM card at the bar when I left. And that was only to be the first time I lost my card over the weekend.

Saturday night was even more high impact than Friday. While I was waiting for Mark to meet me at Melange (he's always late!) I got a call from Christine telling me that The Royal Pendletons were playing downtown at The Memphis Music & Heritage Festival and Suzi, my fellow punk rock pilates classmate, was going to be sitting in on sax. Wow! Sounded awesome to me, finally a chance to hang out with the rockers! After Mark arrived we downed a drink and headed downtown just in time to catch Suzi sit in on the last three songs while Christine and I spoke of our regret in not being able to play an instrument.

After the show, we all headed to The Buccaneer to hang out and hear more surfer rock goodness. On the drive over we got the call from the TNF crew and agreed to meet up later in the evening. We picked up some choice bar seats at The Buc, far enough away from the band to not be overpowered, close enough to the door to be able to do the meet & greet as peeps we knew stumbled in. Mark and I have only known each other for a few months, but we know an amazing amount of the same people. It's a small Memphis afterall. The Buccanneer is so gonna be my new hangout to scope on all the indie boys.

We finally made it to Raiford's around 1:30 AM to meet Roboto and T. Roboto lived up to his player reputation while, as he was not participating in the consumption of alcohol this particular night, Captain T was a little more reserved. As I was participating in the consumption of alcohol, I spent the evening talking T's ear off while Mark and Roboto hit the dance floor to compare moves (on the ladies, of course.) Roboto is scared that I am going to post the picture I took of him and a toothless woman that pulled him out on the dancefloor, but I decided I wouldn't fault him for being a good sport and making crackhead's night. It was cool to meet the TNF guys. Mark and I parted ways with them around 3AM and headed straight for the Two-Way Inn for a nightcap. Before we knew it, it was 5 and time to head home. Oh, and Mark did his own recap of the night.

I woke up Sunday afternoon not sure if I would be able to make it out for Sunday evening festivities or not. I didn't want to miss my friend Brandon's house party, so I pulled myself together and headed over. I am so glad I did, I got to catch up with my old friend Don, who is now a contributor on SS. Brandon and Michelle have an awesome new house, perfect for parties and they had a nice dj set up outside so that we could all enjoy the tunes out in the night air. Jason and Miles stopped by later in the evening and we left with the tentative plans to meet up at Melange for '80's night. I knew it would be off the hook, since most people didn't have to work Monday, but I had no idea how packed it would be. As I was walking to the door, Jason rolled by in his car and said that he just couldn't do it, but I had already parked so I forged ahead. Fortunately, the whole crew was in the corner getting hype to the tunes David was laying down. I grabbed a drink and preceded to jam out with Carlos (who I love because he also has an affinity for cartoons and shows about Einstein.) Then Justin hit the tables and played an awesome set. The whole place was going crazy, you could see everyone was having a great time. Later on, Carlos and I kind of lost the vibe when we heard a repeat of a Human League song. But by that time it was pretty late, so it was all good, we needed a reason to call it a night.

Conclusion: Operation Labor Day Weekend was a grand success. Let's do it again next year!

Mmmmm, Krystal's

Someone got to this site by doing an Excite Search for "How to make Krystal Meth." This is why drugs should not be legalized. If you can't spell it, you certainly don't need to be smoking it. I don't know about you, but ingesting a drug that I made myself? That doesn't sound like something I would ever want to do.

Captain, My Captain!

I am so sick of white men in blue suits. Swinging their dicks around, using 9/11 as a flashy new accessory they just picked up on sale down at Macy's. Pataki said tonight that the United States couldn't afford to wait until we were attacked again: We must search out terrorists in their snake holes before they have a chance to hit us. So where are we headed next gov'ner? Let's continue the spiraling practice of hitting first and asking questions later. We've got plenty of money, right? We've got plenty of power. This idea couldn't possibly backfire on us. We've got Iraq all under control, right?

All of those cowboy hats at the RNC are so symbolic of of the party and the administration in power. Don't mess with us, cause we'll kick your ass. And anybody that doesn't think that we as Americans live in a Hollywood movie where there can be nothing but a happy ending, well, you're not patriotic. Jump on board the patriot train because the U.S isn't about intellectual discussion and intelligent responses to complex problems, it's about pep rallies and kicking butt. And in the end, we can't lose right? We are Americans afterall.

When you're scared, and we have a lot of reasons to be scared these days, it's comforting to have your big bully brother take up for you. Yeah, take that Terrorists! Don't fuck with us, cause we'll beat you down. Well, not we per se, but some poor uneducated 20 year old listening to Limp Bizkit. The thing is: When your big bully brother kicks the ass of the person fucking with you, it doesn't end the argument - the ass kickee just goes and gets his friends.

Does anybody really believe that we as a nation would not have been as resilient if ole W. hadn't been in office? Come on! We would have been just as resilient if a hamster had been in office. And this idea that without him the nation will fall to pieces, well, we don't have much farther to go do we? This is what I know for sure: Everytime there's a Republican President, my father ends up on the brink of losing his job. We've been promised the trickle down theory for 24 years. I'm still waiting for a couple of drops to fall. How can Georgie talk about a global economy and global trade without acknowledging the irony of pissing off the globe?

If you plan to vote for G.W. please, I would love to hear the specifics of how his brand of government has made your life better over the past 4 years. Do you feel safer? Not me. Are you making more money? Not likely. Do you have Health Care? Well, if you didn't 4 years ago, I can bet you don't now.

I listened to Bush's speech tonight and what struck me as the most interesting thing about it was how he acts like he's trying to get elected for the first time. Here we go again about Social Security. Weren't he and Gore arguing about that last go round? Didn't he say he was gonna do something? Did it just slip his mind? He has tons of promises about what he plans to do in the next four years, but I really didn't hear anything about what he has done. Isn't that what you should do as an incumbant? Talk about how you've helped the nation. talk about the policies that made the country better while you were in charge. He thinks that because we got attacked by terrorists three years ago his presidency is a do-over. Yeah, I screwed that term up, but if you put me in office again, this is what I plan to not actually do this time.

I'm sick of montages and photo ops and scored speeches with soaring music to make your heart open to men in blue suits. I love the United States, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. I am a proud American. But I don't want to be on the winning team if George Bush is our captain.

Bush Policies

A reader commented on my lack of attack on Bush's policies and my need to point out his personal faults and say that the war was wrong. I have two things to say to that. First of all, I have a right (although, if Bush stays in office, maybe not for long) to not like him because he wears a red necktie if I want. At this point, eveyone has taken sides and any policy based arguments I were to post against Bush would only be agreed with by his naysayers and vehemently denied by his supporters. It's like arguing the existance of god, a ridiculous argument. You either believe or not based on your own set of personal experiences.

My main belief is that Bush is an idiot and I'm embaressed that he's the president. If you don't think he's an idiot, you're probably an idiot too. That's my argument, but if you need something more than that - I don't have to pinpoint his shitty policies to see that they suck - make the jump:

Public Service Announcement

When you turn on your television tonight to watch the Bush speech, let's all remember exactly what we're dealing with.

I plan to skip it all together and go listen to something a little bit more literate than ole W.

2 Live Crew!

At least they're crazy and entertaining.

A Case for Flip Flops

Did anyone else catch Zell Miller's crazy speech and high strung attack on Kerry at the RNC?

Now, while young Americans are dying in the sands of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan, our nation is being torn apart and made weaker because of the Democrat's manic obsession to bring down our Commander in Chief.

Is this guy kidding? Bush sends these kids to die, and now anyone who says that its wrong is now to blame? In the words of Lil' Jon - What?

Did you see Miller make an ass of himself on the cable news circuit, questioning Kerry's loyalty to America? Talk about a flip flop - have you seen what he said about Kerry at a Democratic Dinner in 2001? It's on his website.

My job tonight is an easy one: to present to you one of this nation's authentic heroes, one of this party's best-known and greatest leaders – and a good friend.

John has worked to strengthen our military, reform public education, boost the economy and protect the environment. Business Week magazine named him one of the top pro-technology legislators and made him a member of its "Digital Dozen."

John is a graduate of Yale University and was a gunboat officer in the Navy. He received a Silver Star, Bronze Star and three awards of the Purple Heart for combat duty in Vietnam. He later co-founded the Vietnam Veterans of America.

Bush Taking Anti-Depressants

Although GOP loyalists dismissed the reports an anti-Bush propaganda, the reports were later confirmed by prominent George Washington University psychiatrist Dr. Justin Frank in his book Bush on the Couch: Inside the Mind of the President. Dr. Frank diagnosed the President as a “paranoid meglomaniac” and “untreated alcoholic” whose “lifelong streak of sadism, ranging from childhood pranks (using firecrackers to explode frogs) to insulting journalists, gloating over state executions and pumping his hand gleefully before the bombing of Baghdad” showcase Bush’s instabilities.

Dr. Frank’s conclusions have been praised by other prominent psychiatrists, including Dr. James Grotstein, Professor at UCLA Medical Center, and Dr. Irvin Yalom, MD, Professor Emeritus at Stanford University Medical School.

Random Observation

I was watching Six Feet Under the other night, ok, a couple of weeks ago, anyway, it was the episode where the mother finally comes home and she has the "final straw" discussion with her new husband. She's giving him the list of what he has to do in order for them to continue the relationship, you know how that goes right? Whether you're a guy or a girl, if you've been in a relationship, you've probably been through the excrutiating pain of one of those conversations. One person is begging for it not to be over and the other person is saying how they're willing to give the other another chance but only on the conditions that they do x,y,z.

The thing that kills me is that they're both in at least their 60's, and they still have to have this conversation? Blech.

And that, my friends, is a good reason to stay single.
