The reason it worked is because the way I did it was comparing UNIX_TIMESTAMP() format's as opposed to comparing "2006-08-06" < "2006-08-08". MySQL doesn't do comparison's like this to the best of my knowledge. Hence the reason I translated them both into UNIX_TIMESTAMP() format so it is comparing the number of seconds from epoch until NOW() or until NOW()-INTERVAL, etc.

To show more aptly. 

mysql> SELECT CURDATE();
+------------+
| CURDATE()  |
+------------+
| 2006-08-10 |
+------------+
1 row in set (0.01 sec)

mysql> SELECT NOW();
+---------------------+
| NOW()               |
+---------------------+
| 2006-08-10 15:41:19 |
+---------------------+
1 row in set (0.01 sec)

mysql> SELECT UNIX_TIMESTAMP();
+------------------+
| UNIX_TIMESTAMP() |
+------------------+
|       1155238891 |
+------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

This way, when I use the '<' or '>' to compare numbers (such as UNIX_TIMESTAMP()'s), it is consistant. As opposed to comparing CURDATE() and NOW() where one has a time value and one is just a date. That is how I remember things anyway.
