Houston @ MindSay

According to Wikipedia:
Sounds to me like Houston won't get hit as hard, but I'm not going to lower my defenses. There will be a thunderstorm though, and it's going to be raining cats and dogs, I heard. Many of the folks I know can stay indoors tomorrow; whether in their workplaces, home, etc...
...I'm a driver, and I work outdoors. I pray that I don't get into some weather related accident tomorrow.
And I'm quite sure that some of my co-workers will call in, and I'm going to get called to work extra. I'm turning it down.
The crowd wasn't as lively as last time and the DJ was a turd, but it was still a lot of fun. There should be pictures coming soon from myclette or environgirl.
It got a little crazy last night. I'm usually a rock guy as you should know by now. However, Jayme convinced me to break out the Rick James classic. myclette assisted me with some backup vocals and dancing. She is a super freak! She can also kick ass on some Led Zep.
Jayme was going to break out a little Bloodhound Gang, but she wasn't feeling it with that crowd. Maybe next time...

Do you remember Houston? He was a mildly successful R&B singer from a few years back who had a hit single called "I Like That" that was even featured in a McDonald's commercial.
He also went nuts in 2005. He tried to jump out of a London hotel window and then gouged out his own eye. He said at the time that the devil made him do it.
Anyhoo, Houston has recently given an interview with fine journalists over at HoodNews detailing why he scooped out his own eye (something to do with thugs and the mafia), why he had to get out of the music business (something about record execs watering down his innate hoodness and making him dress like Michael Jackson) and his current role as an activist (something about stopping all of that ass-raping that goes on in men's penitentiaries).
So to sum up Houston is a crazy mofo with one eye and an odd fixation on male on male prison rape. He sorta sounds like Tom DuBois.
