Monday, January 23, 2006 LUBBOCK OR LEAVE ITi spent saturday afternoon wandering around SOUTH PLAIN MALL in LUBBOCK, TEXAS. i was overwhelmed by that same feeling i had as a kid growing up in SAN DIEGO... that feeling of being an observer from another planet (well, ru, hun... that would be because you are). saturday night during my monologue, i said to the sold-out club "if you're gay and live in a small town in TEXAS, you are my motherfuckin' hero! ...i fuckin' salute you". they loved that. i did have a fantastic time. . | Permalink Friday, January 20, 2006 HOLLYHOODlast night, MR. ROURKE took me to see the funniest, smartest play on broadway. i embarrassed myself by laughing so hard. it has all the elements that pique my particular interests (the truth about hollywood, a spot-on, witty script and full frontal nudity by "darlene's boyfriend on roseanne"). it's unfair to describe it as "the brokeback of broadway", but you kinda get the idea. this morning, i woke up and it was still ringing loudly in my consciousness, especially the performance of JULIE WHITE. oh dear GOD, that woman tore up the scenery. i just finished reading a fantastic book called I,FATTY, the fictionalized autobiography of ROSCOE "FATTY" ARBUCKLE by JERRY STAHL. it, too, uncovers the underbelly of show business in a similar way the DOUGLAS CARTER BEANE play does, so i felt like i was watching a companion piece to the book. . | Permalink Saturday, January 14, 2006 OUCH!sometime during the night, my IBUPROFEN wore off and i was awakened by the pain. it's the weirdest freakin' sensation to be awakened by a slow throbbing ache. damn! it's been a week and my surgery is still hurting like a mo-fo. BROOKLYN my latest obsession is the sitcom MY WIFE & KIDS in syndication. it is friggin' hilarious! i love this show! plus, i love the fact that i'm watching the baby girl that was in DONNA SUMMER'S belly on the cover of THE WANDERER album. FLOW i've spent the past few days in the studio working on the remix album. i really love working with this cat that ARI GOLD hooked me up with. we can finish each other's sentences, which is "half the battle" when collaborating. BEWITCHED i rediscovered a box of old demos i wrote and recorded many, many years ago when i was trying to get signed to a major label. as i sat and listened to them, i couldn't help but remember how much of a struggle that period in my life was. looking back, i feel so proud to have persevered. pursuing my vision is still a challenge, but the difference today is that i've learned to laugh in the face of adversity. laughter is the most powerful spell i've ever learned to cast. . | Permalink Friday, January 06, 2006 TURN BACK TIMEyesterday, i had MAJOR dental surgery. the worst part was the shots of novocain, but the best part was the "laughing gas" i requested. i haven't done illegal drugs in over 6 years, and let me tell you, that "ol' drug pig - coke whore" is still alive and well and living in my head. i was in heaven! i haven't felt that euphoric since they gave me my own personal morphine drip following my back surgery in 2002. during yesterday's procedure, i wore my BOSE headphones and listened to SLY & THE FAMILY STONE, MARY J. BREAKTHROUGH and 80's rock CHER. music sounds so good when you're fucked up. i know what you're thinking. you're thinking that i'm talking myself into my old druggie lifestyle. not to worry... i REALLY don't want to go back there again. if anything, i'm talking myself into another surgical procedure. a face-lift, lipo, cheek implants? i'm sure Dr. Garth Fischer has some rockin' far-out bitchin' pharmaceuticals. . | Permalink Sunday, January 01, 2006 DARKCHILDVERNON sent this link to fabulous soundbytes from the TRADING SPOUSES-GOD WARRIOR LADY. . | Permalink 2009 RuCo, Inc.—All Rights Reserved |
