Devastation

I'm completely blown away at the total devastation that Katrina has caused in the South. It's slowly starting to sink in that New Orleans is going to be uninhabitable for weeks or possibly months. The Governor of Louisiana has ordered a total evacuation of the city. Think about that. A city of almost 500,000 people, totally empty. People have lost everything, houses, cars, family heirlooms, family members. My heart truly goes out to all those caught up in the devastation.

Fill-In-The-Blanks: Sort Of

Went to JR's last night and got decently wasted. Surprisingly though, I remember everything. Still, lets play fill-in-the-blanks:

I remember hoarding two Dave drinks before 8 o'clock
I remember several people reporting Chuck sightings, but being unable to find him myself
I remember going home by myself

I also remember, seeing, meeting, then talking to (for a long time) a cute boy whose name I actually remember. Sadly I didn't get his number. But he's been there on Sunday the past two weeks so he'll probably be there next week.

Who's Next?

IM Conversation of the day

Friend: I got cum in my eye and it hurts
Me: Wow that sucks
Friend: Yes
Me: Who's was it?
Friend: My own
Me: Well did you learn your lesson? Close your eyes next time.
Friend: I know!

For those of you that don't know, getting cum in your eye is not a pleasent experience. It burns. Badly. And it takes ages to get better. So next time. Do yourself a favor and close your eyes.

One more for good measure

Last night

So I didn't go out last night. Now I know what you are all thinking, "Who is this goodie-two-shoes imposter, and what have you done with the boozie Chris we know and love?!?" Have no fear kiddies. I just wasn't feeling it last night. My new cast was hurting me so I went home, took two percacet, and was out by 930. Quick side note: Percacet is fun when you're awake. But it can give you some fucked up dreams when you're asleep. Just keep that in mind.

Anyway, I'm definitely ready to hit the streets tonight. My partner in crime, aka Chuck, isn't working so 17th st better watch out.. Nick is going to a baseball game tonight (see bonus game below), but has assured me that he will be out to cause shenanigens later. And if Bernie comes out too, it'll be like a Mean Girl reunion. Can't wait!!

I think it's time you turn on the music
Feel that sound watchin' over me
And every time you turn on the music
Can't control what comes over me

Well I've been waiting, long enough
So DJ please won't you turn it up
Wanna feel that bass yeah and I get a rush
And when it comes yeah I can't get enough

So turn on the music

[EDITED TO ADD: The song is called "Turn on the Music feat GTO by Roger Sanchez. There are several good mixes and they can be found at Beatport. Just search for Roger Sanchez.]

PS: Bonus game.
"Nick hasn't gotten the memo that Gay is to Sports as Oil is to [fill-in-blank]:"

A) Vinegar
B) Jerry Curls
C) Saudi Arabia
D) Water

Answer: D. Water. That's right, "Nick hasn't gotten the memo that Gay is to Sports as Oil is to Water." Clearly they don't mix.

An early birthday present

I just got back from the doctor for a follow up on my hand. First of all, casty has gotten much smaller. It's now about the same size as the first cast, maybe even a bit smaller. But what's even better is that the cast and pin come out on September 6th. The day after my birthday. Aside from a little physical therapy, that'll be it. No more casts, splints, pins, etc...When you think about it, 4 weeks total for a broken bone really isn't that bad.

I know it's early in the morning...

...but, I found this on myspace and just had to share.

Roses are red, violets are corny … when I think of you, ohh baby I get horny … Eat me, Beat me, Bite me, Blow me, Suck me, Fuck me, Very Slowly … if you kiss me, don't be sassy, Use your tongue and make it nasty

There is something in the air, this weekend could be a lot of fun...

How many members of the Bush Administration does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

Ten.

-1. One to deny that a light bulb needs to be changed;

-2. One to attack the patriotism of anyone who says the light bulb needs to be changed;

-3. One to blame Clinton for burning out the light bulb;

-4. One to tell the nations of the world that they are either for changing the light bulb or for eternal darkness;

-5. One to give a billion dollar no-bid contract to Halliburton for the new light bulb;

-6. One to arrange a photograph of Bush, dressed as a janitor, standing on a step ladder under the banner 'Bulb Accomplished';

-7. One administration insider to resign and in detail reveal how Bush was literally 'in the dark' the whole time;

-8. One to viciously smear No. 7;

-9. One surrogate to campaign on TV and at rallies on how George Bush has had a strong light-bulb-changing policy all along;

-10. And finally, one to confuse Americans about the difference between screwing a light bulb and screwing the country.

Meh...

I really don't have anything fun to blog about today. No monday morning fill-in-the-blanks. I did go to JR's last night, but I didn't get obscenly drunk. Just a little bit. And I remember everything. Went out on Friday night. Closed Omega. I know, shameful. But Chuck made me go. Then when we left he went to go hook up with someone he really shouldn't have. I was going to try and stop him, but was much more focused on stumbling to McDonalds.

Saturday night was a blur. It involved JR's, Cobalt with a blown speaker (and hence my future bf wasn't spinning), JR's again, SoCo and lime shots, and a 330am steak at Annies.

Overall the weekend was fun if not booze filled. I think I need to give my liver a rest. Until thursday. Them I'm sure I'll be at it again.

PS. Ran into Sean on Friday, who I discovered bartends at Halo. Super nice guy! Check out his blog if you get a chance.

Here' a better pic of him.

The First Domino

Has the first domino fallen? One of the singers from boyband Westlife, Mark Feehily, just came out. We all know most of them (boyband members) are gay. Five guys. On a tour bus. Alone. Hmmm. Obviously they're bound to play around a bit. Well anyway it's about time! maybe more now will get up the courage and come out as well. (He's the second from the left)

Update

Well I'm not going to quit my job. Basically because it'd be hard to find a new one with only one hand, and I really need the health insurance. But believe me. I was REALLY close.

This close

So I came within seconds of quitting my job today. I still might. But I need to wait the mandatory 24 hour cooling off period before I decide.

Update: I Heart Tom Stephan

On Friday I wrote about a new remix from Tom Stephan that just came out and is HOT. Well, that night we went to Cobalt and what does the DJ play? You guessed it. The new remix. Chuck and I of course burned several holes in the floor and, naturally, "Casty" got some good air-time too. The DJ also played another new, and hot song, Turn On The Music feat. GTS - Roger Sanchez (12-Inch Mix). Be on the lookout for the DJ, Luke Easley. First of all: He spins vinyl, which is much better (and lets him play songs like these, rather than remixes from 2002). Secondly: His whole set (that I heard) was really pretty good. Thirdly: He's hot...and he'll be back at Cobalt this Saturday

The artist formerly known as P. Diddy

Well it seems that P. Diddy has now followed in the footsteps of another famous artist, Prince. That's right, P. Diddy is changing his name again, to just plain old "Diddy." In his own words, via Yahoo!.

"I felt like the 'P' was getting between me and my fans and now we're closer," Diddy said. "During concerts, half the crowd is saying 'P. Diddy'--half the crowd is chanting 'Diddy'--now everybody can just chant 'Diddy.' I even started to get confused myself--and when I'd called someone on the telephone it took me a long time to explain who I was. Too long," Diddy told the New York Post. "One word. Five letters. Period,"

I too, felt that the 'P' was getting in way of me and Diddy.

Office mate kate

My office mate Kate has started a new blog. She only has one post so far, but it's funny. Check it out... And she's promised me that since I'm going to link to her, she will update on a regular basis. Unlike some other people I know...

Jobless no more

One of my besties, Nick, has finally gotten a job. It has only taken him 6 months, and though it seems like a long time, it could've been worse. It's always so hard to see a good friend go through a rough time. And there were some definite rough times. But it's nice to see that things are starting to look up for him. Not only that, but his new job seems like something he'll really enjoy. Anyway, he just seems so excited about it, and I guess I'm just really happy for him.

:-(

Well I've come back from the doctor. I'm scheduled for surgery on Monday so they can pin my finger back together. Hopefully after that it won't take too much longer to heal.
