The comments by Oscar reflected on his narcissism and his lack of knowledge beyond himself. Oscar's arguments merely focused only on his needs, himself and his surroundings. His perception of welfare programs are appalling. Yes, some people abused the system. But there are millions of people who depended on the welfare programs.
I work in mental health services, I can attest that the monthly checks the clients received are incredibly vital to their survival. Most of the people who has mentally illness has a difficult time in getting jobs, let alone hold the job for months or years! Is it their fault? No, they do not know what is wrong with them. Most of them were raised in a dysfunctional household -- they were never disciplined, taught or explained by their parents. So when they stepped into the real world, they were completely blown away. To make things worse, they find out that they have mental illness. It is such a struggle to maintain their living standards. I will not describe my job position but the whole point is that, there are millions of people who cannot hold a decent job. They are unable to start, and roll their sleeves and compete against millions of persons who holds the BA degrees in search of a decent job -- they are completely at an disadvantage in this capitalistic society. If not for welfare programs, they might have to work double or triple shifts at fast food restaurants, flipping burgers and ... yet, still cannot meet their monthly bills!
It was never a case of spoon-feeding as Jason or Oscar would like it to be -- the truth is that Oscar and Jason were spoon-fed more than the recipients of welfare programs. These programs were placed in to facilitate the solution somehow and somewhere in the middle! Oscar and Jason abused the system, simply put.
When Oscar said, "just my 2 cents. all lofty aspirations aside--i know i'd want to grab that spoon and feed myself." What does it says? Only for himself. What about millions of people who do not have BA degrees, have mental illness and unable to hold jobs? Should we say, "Too fucking bad, roll your sleeves and look for the job!"
To say that the senior Bush was responsible for the passage of Americans with Disabilities Act was an attempt to distort the facts -- it was the Democrats-dominated Congress who overwhelmingly passed the ADA and the insiders warned the senior Bush that if he vetoed the bill, it will make him look bad.
Jason, I know you and your family -- your parents are well-educated, they spoon-fed you from day one, lavishing you with everything, preparing you for what you have on the table -- the result is that you lived a sheltered life. Or should I say 'Spoiled All-American brat'?? You do not live the way many millions persons struggled to live -- your parents helped you to buy a home. Millions of people do not have the luxury of that, including mine. You see, you were pretty much spoon-fed from day one. I work with a large group of disadvantaged people. It is mind-boggling to work with them everyday. You work at a liberal arts university, you study at a good school, you got a home of your own. Did you ever volunteer or work with mental ill people, preferrably ... say ... DeafREACH in DC?? Working at CSD-F does not count, thank you very much.
Keep in mind, it is not about the case of jealousy, it never was. I care less if you bought a house -- but I do care about the struggles of others.
The problem with this country is that lots of people tends to think about future, future and themselves rather than to help each other and deal with the situations right now.
Jason, about the Log Cabin Republicans. They do not hate Bush. IN fact, they endorsed him, defended him and supported him until Bush proposed the amendment to the Constitution to ban the same-sex marriages. That is where the LCR decided not to endorse that ignorant prick. There is no hatred in this, Jason. Don't distort this, thank you very much. You are right that the marriage amendment will never pass, but the whole point is that Bush endorsed it. He fuckin' endorsed the ban on marriage amendment.
Kerry does not support the same-sex marriages, but he supported the civil unions. Bush has none of that, he has been kissing the shit-stained asses of right wing religious nuts.
The reasons why many Deaf students used SSI rather than to work in local businesses is that the businesses would hire hearing people to work as waiters, whereas Deaf persons would be relegate to the kitchen and wash dishes. Meanwhile, these waiters get tips, the workers in the kitchen do not. So it is sensible to rely upon the 'monthly check' to support themselves in college, though.
Again, not all Americans are suitable for higher education. They try their best all the time. You just had an easy time running around with your parents standing behind you all the time -- millions do not. Consider yourself lucky, Jason.
Not all Americans are like you or Oscar -- when the shit hits the fan, you probably cannot tell which one is reality.
Benjamin Franklin once said that freedom itself is not worth it when the rights are being put aside in the name of security. The whole point is that Bush captured the opponents and held them for years without the legal counsel and crafted the Patriot Act to erode our rights -- then our freedom is meaningless. It is inhumane, simply put.
If I was in control of the country, the first thing I will do is to take Bush to a dungeon. Strip him naked, make him lay on the floor, chain his arms and legs to each corner -- ensure that his legs and arms are wide open. Then release the thousands of spiders onto his body for hours. And deny him the right to have a legal counsel. That would be a great experience for Bush. Let's see how he enjoys that!

$$ for Nanc!
Two years ago, Nanc and I had a long chat about everything else, really. One time, she nearly made me blow the coca-cola soda out of my nose when I heard this story.
It was during the Super Bowl party in Baltimore, Nanc participated in a contest that will give money to the winner who predicted the right score or very close score. In the second half, Nanc felt bad about her friend, I believe it was Sharon but I'm not sure, who cheered that she won the prize with few minutes left in the 4th quarter.
Suddenly, an interception occured during the game in the last minute -- and scored a touchdown. That means what? This girl just lost the contest. She was depressed and felt sick. Nanc felt bad and tried to console (Thanks, Amy!) with her.
About an hour after the game, she drove her SUV truck to her parents' house. She got paged by Barb to check the scores (hers and the actual score). During the drive, she attempted to read the actual score with her predicted score -- but she cannot because her light in the jeep was broken. She had no choice but to wait until the intersection where there are stop lights. When Nanc found a red light on the intersection light, she quickly hopped out of her SUV truck and ran into front of her truck to use the headlights to read the actual score and the predicted score.
She won. Nanc blinked and read it again. Nanc won some hundreds of dollars. She won.
She jumped and celebrated wildly by her truck on the intersection while people stared at her like she's crazy. Nanc rushed back to the house to collect the prized money.
Boy, is she crazy as usual?

Stuff To Blah, Blah and Blah
Every Sunday night, I seem to set up a schedule to hang out in my living room! I thought the television programs on Sunday are the best of all week-long. I don't watch Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays. I'm frequently out on these days, though. I usually watch The Simpsons, Malcolm In The Middle, Arrested Development, Boston Legal and now, Jack & Bobby.
I love the mother of Jack & Bobby. When the mother fixed up a sandwich for a homeless dude, Jack asked his mother, "Great. When was the last time you made a sandwich for me?" His mother stared outside, waving at the homeless dude who just left -- she didn't flinch nor turn her head to Jack, "When was the last time you ate cat food?" That was a good punch line.
I surfed Lookingforsam.com, and I was certainly impressed with his thoughts and his comments about Sam, his great-great uncle. It is evident that Sam could be gay. The classic symptons are there but none of us will ever know. Of course, I'm gonna add Sam to the hearies category.
Related to the blogs, I stumbled on my cousin's friend's blog, I find it heartening that there are some guys who are still infatuated with their loved ones even after they got married. I can find the affection in his words in regard to his wife -- and the best thing is that Mike is hot firefighter. Nice to know that there are still romantic guys out there, doing the hard labor and maintaining some kind of an erection for his babe.
Speaking of marriage, I forgot to mention that in Springfield, Massachusetts en route back to Manhattan from my vacation in New Hampshire, I purchased a local newspaper to keep myself entertained in a 4-door sedan car. I stumbled on the weddings section and was stunned to see a picture of two men together as a part of wedding announcement. That was so cool of the local papers to do that and guess what? The sky did not fall when they legalized the gay marriages in that state.
I watched the DVD flick called "His Secret Lover" last Sunday morning. The movie was made in Italy and it rattled me a lot. It talked about a widow who had to deal with the sudden death of her husband, only to find out that her husband had a 7-year long affair with another man. The death scene which the husband was struck by an automobile was absolutely horrifying. Something to VEE VEE. But the whole film is good, it left few questions unanswered -- but again, what do you expect from European films? They always left few questions unanswered. Hey, y'all Eurotrash, don't do that to us. I hated that!!
Some people asked me why I tend to have "9th" on my email addresses and AIM/YIM. It is because my family members seem to have some kind of attachments with nine. Many of my family members' birthdays are on 9th. Mom's birthday is on October 9th, my younger brother's July 9th, mine is November 9th (hint, hint). So you can see why I attached 9th on my email addresses and AIM/YIM. So you now know why.

Virginia Cavaliers football team jumped to No. 6 in the country after defeating Clemson, they will travel to Tallahassee to deal with No. 7 Free Shoes University. I'm very worried. I rather to be ranked less than FSU, to give us the edge to beat them somehow.
Today is National Coming Out Today. Go and OUT someone else and cause a drama! It is much fun that way. I came out in December '94 -- when I returned home from Gallaudet, and my mother was not happy that I took a course called "History of Africa" under Dr. Joseph Kinner. She is pretty narrow-minded, ignorant woman when it comes to races and racism. She said, "Why study black people?" I said, "I"m not studying black people, I'm studying the history of Africa."
"But Africa is hotbed of blacks."
"No, not entirely true."
"But the television proved that already!"
I sighed. But that is Mom. We were arguing about it in Arby's Restaurant -- Roast Beef sandwiches, I love 'em -- then a hot redneck guy walked by me. I looked at him, he turned to look at me. Bingo, he has to be gay -- suddenly, Mom slammed her hand on the table.
"Why did you look at him? Who is he? Are you gay?"
"Yes, I'm gay. I think he's cute. I don't know who he is. I just got here from the Amtrak station, gimme a break!"
Mom flinched and said, "I knew it! I knew it! God will send you to Hell -- "
"Go ahead and send me to Hell, I don't think I want to deal with people who are against me."
"But you cannot tell Dad about it, he'll be angry. Pissed off. Blow up at you!"
"I will tell Dad, watch me."
An hour later, I told Dad. Dad was watching TV. He sighed and verbally talked to himself, "I knew it. A fruit."
After that, nothing happened. It's back to square one. One day, Mom would ask me if I have a boyfriend? One day, Mom would say that I'm going to Hell. One day, Mom said it's OK. Just like a roller coaster. But Dad, nothing ever happened out of this. He never asked me if I'll marry anyone else ever again. Thank God for that. There is nothing worse in the universe than having your parents asking you when will you marry. Such a guilt trip. By coming out, it's done deal. No more questions about marriages. Unless the government legalized the gay marriage.

The Actor and the Athlete
Few weeks ago, I mentioned that Petru was dead because his neck was of no use to him any longer. I knew he does not want to live the way Christopher Reeve do, mainly because he cannot use his signs while being paralyzed from the neck below. He's better off dead. And Christopher Reeve was still quadriplegic when he dropped dead last Friday or Saturday. Thanks to Christopher, his doctor is rich, siphoned his money based on false hopes that Chris, someday, will walk.
Now he shall wheel down to the coffin. One question: Can his wheelchair fits in his coffin as well?
One lame joke: "It is a bird! No, it is not a bird! It is a plane! No, it is not a plane! It is Superman! No, it is not Superman! It is some guy in a wheelchair flying!"
Ken Caminiti is dead at 41. Who is he? He used to be a professional baseball player. When he first joined the league, he looked hot. He was perfect. But he shot the steroids up and he became some kind of hideous monster. He hooked up with blow all the time. Let this be a lesson to all MLB players. Go ahead, do it. And be like Ken Caminiti!

Today ... The Subject Is About Shit
This morning, I walked from my place to my work, it takes about 5 blocks to reach my desk from my bed, though. Not bad, eh? However, on East 13th Street between Avenue A and B, I was bored out of my mind -- I counted 22 turds on the south side of the sidewalk on ONE block. 22! Don't they pick up their shit any longer?
This reminded me of last winter, where I stood at the corner in East Village. I saw the dog squatting the shit out of his ass, while the dog's owner stood next. But the shit was not hard, it looked like someone's lentil soup. Then my eyes darted back to the owner who were hoping not to clean it up and run off, he saw me. I darted much harder to let him know that he is responsible for that soft shit. He groaned then looked around, then looked at me. I still set my eyes on him.
"Clean it up, you oaf. You bought this dog, you took the responsibility! Pick up the shit, you little oaf!"
That is what my eyes said to him. He got the message. He picked it up.
Too bad I'm not everywhere today.

Virginia Cardinals' Crash
As the reports are coming out, Virginia finished 3rd place out of 10-team in Mason-Dixon Tournament after losing to Louisiana and Alabama, respectively. Apparently, there is no consolation play. Since Virginia already beat North Carolina, that means the Cardinals are 3rd.
As for the Championship Game, Alabama and Louisiana will square off against each other.
Well done, ladies.

What Is Proctophobia?
Last night, I had a chance to clean up the apartment, wash the clothes (overdue!) and cruising the tube from time to time. I learned that proctophobia means fear of anus. I checked the dictionary.com and it refers to rectophobia -- the fear of rectal diseases. Now I'm not sure what to think -- either way, you guys are proctophobes!
I know, I know. You guys heard about this -- Martha Stewart reported to the prison in Alderson, West Virginia. Last night, Donald Trump pulled a good quote of the day when The Insider correspondent asked him what does he thinks of Martha being in the prison?
"We got her in the prison and Osama bin Laden is still running free, you tell me if I feel much safer right now?"
*rimshot*
It is travesty that old boys network viciously attacked Martha Stewart using the courts to crush a woman who was well-known for her tough demeanor in business circles. It is no secret that many men finds her to be deplorable person because she won't conform to the ideals of being a passive woman. It is true that she was tough, hard-nosed with a hunger drive for success. When she cracked the invisible window of that particular wall which these old boys created a long time ago, they were threatened by her. They sicced the laws on her and ultimately, humiliated her in the process.
It is travesty that we have Andrew Fastow, Ken Lay and Jeff Skilling, who used Enron to defraud billions of dollars for themselves, inflated the phony records and ripped lots of people's lives, still running around without being in jail. This happened 3 years ago, and whatever happened to the concept of speedy trial? Ken Lay and Jeff Skillings are still drinking wine and eating caviars as I am typing. I'm not sure about Andrew Fastow.
It is travesty that Dennis Kozlowski stole $600 million and lavished $2 million on his wife's birthday party in Italy went to the courts and got a mistrial. He is still walking free, probably dining on some porterhouse steak that costs around $200 somewhere in Midtown as I am on this subject.
Even with the fact that Dick Cheney's Halliburton ripping Pentagon of millions in cash, nothing is being done to punish the company for doing that. Ever notice something?
Did you notice the pattern? Hearing, Caucasian, Man -- it is obvious, is it? Of course, I put "hearing" in, just to antagonize the hearing peers out there. Let's be honest and be realistic, the idea of having a deaf person as the CEO of a major corporation is one big fuckin' scary to thousands of hearing persons, imagine the scenario -- Helen Keller as CEO. LOL. Yes, there are few millionaires who are Deaf, but honest, just look at John Yeh. He's a decent man with some monies but he's not exactly a millionaire to start with, really!
But I digress. Let's back to the "obvious part".
When it comes to indictments, women, disabled persons, persons of colors and ugly persons are swiftly prosecuted and crushed immediately. But when it comes to person who can hear, and is white and has a penis -- it takes many fucking years to fuckin' indict them, prosecute them and put them away in the brig!
Was that fair? Fuck, no. But Donald Trump has a point -- it's silly to put her in the jail while we cannot find Osama bin Laden, really. But there are corruptions everywhere in our so-called country -- be it a private business or public government -- which is why I always view it with wary.
You rock, Martha. You stink, Lay! You suck, Skilling! And you fuckin' suck, Dickie Cheney!

Virginia Cardinals' March
After completing the pool play on Friday with a 3-1 record after beating Mississippi, Florida and Eastern North Carolina with a lone loss to Louisiana. They were seeded No. 2 in the tournament.
1. Alabama
2. Virginia
3. North Carolina
4. Louisiana
5. Tennessee
6. Florida
7. Mississippi
8. Georgia
9. Eastern North Carolina
10. South Carolina
So Virginia opened in the tournament with a rematch of Mississippi and won 2-1 (26-24, 22-25 & 25-21). The Cardinals then trashed North Carolina 2-0 (25-16 & 25-22) to earn the rematch with Louisiana who upsets No. 1 Alabama today. Hopefully, the Cardinals will be able to avenge the lone loss to Louisiana during the pool play to advance to the Championship game. Either way, if they lose to Louisiana, they are not still out of reach with the Championship. Check the bracket at Mason-Dixon to get the idea.
So far, Virginia is 11-5 for the season with few games left.
Go Cardinals!

Few Jabs
During the lunch break, I read NY Press with an interest regarding the America's worst campaign journalists -- among the list is none other than Jason Lamberton's favorite girl, Ann Coulter.
About the hurricanes, we have to accept the fact that hurricanes are becoming frequent -- hello, we had four hurricanes in six weeks hitting Florida -- how often is that? Why is it happening? It is because the ocean temperatures has been rising. Even with few degrees, the sea can dictate the climatic changes. And its impact will be so severe and profound. It shall produce a lot of disastrous results for millions of people, economy and crops. This article by Alexander Zaitchik is the exact thing that I had been trying to explain about the need to eject that fool out of White House.
So Jason, Moveon.org made a sensible argument that GW Bush is responsible for his inactions regarding the environmental issues. GW Bush always used "sound science" to support the industries with fraudulent data and questionable researches.
Tony Blair is campaigning to make global warming an issue with European Union because he knew that if the climatic changes do occur in near future, Great Britain will be threatened.

Sports Talk III & Rep. David Dreier (R-Calif)
Virginia Cavaliers routed Clemson, 30-10 to alleviate my worries. They are off to a best start since '91, I believe at 5-0, 2-0 in the ACC. They also continued to make gains in offense and limited the opponents' points -- 212-58 for the season. Up next is ... gonna be tough one. Off to Tallahassee, Florida to play Free Shoes University and that prick, Chris Rix! I am predicting a loss for Virginia but am hoping for an upset in Tallahassee.
As for Virginia Cardinals in Talladega, Alabama -- they are currently 1-1 in the Pool Play, losing to Louisiana War Eagles 2-1 this morning at 9 AM, then crushed Eastern North Carolina 2-0 at 11 AM. They are slated to play Mississippi and Florida later in the day. After that, the tournament will be based on the records of pool plays. Hope Virginia gets to do well in the next two games.
Go Cardinals!
Now with another assault on that Republican fag in the closet, Rep. David Dreier. Mike Rogers reported that David travelled to 25 countries in the past few years. They are Italy, Russia, Spain, Nepal, Greece, Senegal, Brazil, Nicaragua, Mali, Tunisia, Malta, Cyprus, Iceland, Uzbekistan, Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, Estonia, Georgia, New Zealand, Australia, Micronesia, Argentina, Chile and the Dominican Republic.
So what, you say? They also managed to find time to visit Italy, Brazil and Nicaragua twice in the last three years!
To work in the public service is one thing, to hire his boyfriend as Chief of Staff with the salary base of $156,100 per year is another thing. To travel to these countries, using the public funds as their pay are simply outrageous. The Republicans consistently denied us the chances to raise the minimum pay wages but lavished on each other, using the government's money.
Somebody has to do something about Dreier and Brad Smith.

They are slated to play Mississippi and Florida later in the day. After that, the tournament will be based on the records of pool plays. Hope Virginia gets to do well in the next two games.
Go Cardinals!
Now with another assault on that Republican fag in the closet, Rep. David Dreier. Mike Rogers reported that David travelled to 25 countries in the past few years. They are Italy, Russia, Spain, Nepal, Greece, Senegal, Brazil, Nicaragua, Mali, Tunisia, Malta, Cyprus, Iceland, Uzbekistan, Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, Estonia, Georgia, New Zealand, Australia, Micronesia, Argentina, Chile and the Dominican Republic.
So what, you say? They also managed to find time to visit Italy, Brazil and Nicaragua twice in the last three years!
To work in the public service is one thing, to hire his boyfriend as Chief of Staff with the salary base of $156,100 per year is another thing. To travel to these countries, using the public funds as their pay are simply outrageous. The Republicans consistently denied us the chances to raise the minimum pay wages but lavished on each other, using the government's money.
Somebody has to do something about Dreier and Brad Smith.

No More Republican
This is interesting, though.
I saw him twice or thrice in DuPont Circle when I lived in the District. I always wanted to give him the dirty looks, just because he's the fag Republican. But I never did get around to do that, though. I will admit that he did very good job with the DC City Council.
So it was very surprising to see him disassociating himself from the GOP party.
I guess, being an independent is better than Republican, since the GOPers frequently screwed the Americans in almost everything from the minimum pay wages to Iraq. It is certainly nice to see David Catania coming to his senses. Too bad, not many people are like him.

What Else Is New With Abercrappie & Bitch?
Once upon a time at 30 Degrees, a bar in DuPont Circle, I met Mark for few drinks. It was a time to catch up with our typical gossips, swiping at feeble-minded people around us as usual. Mark is aware that I cringed at the sight of gay men wearing Abecrappie & Bitch clothes. Mainly because it discriminates against the bigger men and it lingers on vanity which turned me off. Today, I can wear these shirts from A&F, but I chose not to.
However, at that bar with Mark, we were chatting when a good-looking guy in his late 40s-trying-to-act-like-early 20s interrupted us to tell Mark that he finds him attractive. Of course, I was irked by that -- Mark and I came to the bar to talk, not to be interrupted by fags like him. I rolled my eyes gently and Mark snickered. He knew what I was thinking about.
This guy kept on making an effort to communicate with Mark while I stared at his chest with contempt. He asked me if I liked it, I chuckled and said, "Ugh. It should be bombed."
He said, "This is my first A&F shirt, it was on sale for $18! Not bad?" I shot back, "I can find 10 t-shirts for that price. And?"
He turned to Mark, "He hates me?"
Mark said, "Yes and no."
We laughed. That was 2 years ago in Washington, DC.
Today, you can see another stupid design by the Abercrappie & Bitch company. Wonder if Paul & Morgan Hamm will wear it?
Ugh.

Stuff To Ponder
Last night at The Equinox, I asked Benis a question, "Who is your favorite Disney character?"
Benis grinned, "Maleficent."
I smiled, "That is cool, mine is Ursula the Sea Witch."
We laughed and thought it was interesting that our favorite Disney character are villains. I always loved the way Ursula laughed, smiled and her arrogant reactions. When Ariel failed to get a kiss from the Prince before the sun sets down, she was reverted to a mermaid once again. Ursula screamed, "Yes!" Then she raised her hands in the sky as the thunders and lightning rumbled around her as she was transformed into a huge octopus body and quickly crawled to Ariel across the terrified gawkers. Once she grabbed Ariel like a rag doll, Ursula quickly turned her head to the Prince, "So long, lover boy!"
Then she just dived in the sea, took Ariel with her back in the sea. That was ruthless but I loved it. She rocks! What's yours?
Now on another subject, I was thinking about what Elisa said earlier about the prom thing. I personally do not like the idea of proms. If Elisa still cherished her silly moments with the proms, more power to her. But I personally think it is waste of my time, energy and bullshit to put up with fake looks from different persons.
Like Jake once said to me before that he observed one person standing few feet away. That person saw the other person standing few feet away, then quickly confided to his girlfriend that the "bastard" is here! His girlfriend saw him and goes, "ugh!" Then few minutes later, the "bastard" did the same thing to that person with his friend. About 10 minutes later, the bastard and that person stumbled on each other and said, "How are you? I did not see you here!" All that fakey boo hoos are silly.
When I was a junior in high school, I wanted to be with Todd, a hearing boyfriend of mine -- but it was "bad" to do that back then. I was pressured to take some broad to the prom -- it was very awkward and weird feeling. I had to do this because it is the "right" way, it is the American way (not entirely true!), it is memorable (My ass!) and all that bullshit. I stayed for an hour and half before slipping out to meet Todd in a car and went away for the weekend.
Suffice to say, my weekend with Todd was memorable than the ones I spent at the prom. The prom is always overated. It is silly high school thing. Certainly not a tradition to be proud of. Not for me, but if it does for you, yay. Should I do the cheerleading fer ya? Fuck, no!
Basically, what I am trying to say is that ... stop conform to the society's ideals because they said so. Just follow your heart and be happy, regardless of what one thinks about you. Maybe I should take Todd to the prom, but again that is irrelevant, though. The prom remained to be the most overated thing out of high school. My lovemaking with Todd wasn't overated, though.
Carter, Hilton, Rex, Culkin and Brunner? Such a drama!

Visulite Theater Is Sold & That BoiFromTroy
It is certainly nice to know that a movie theater in downtown Staunton was sold to a screenwriter from New York. When I was a kid at VSD, I occasionally went to Dixie Theaters and Visulite Theater to watch many films. Visulite Theater was the first movie that I watched with 3-D. Nice to know that the downtown is looking much better. Last time I visited, I was bit stunned with how good it looked.
Way to go, Staunton!
I have to do something about BoiFromTroy -- that guy is gay Republican. Not only that, he's a die-hard fan of Southern Cal. It is double whammy. Southern Cal is overrated, filled with meaningless pretty bois. Gay Republicans are blind as shit. But this one is very charming. I enjoyed reading his blog -- I had to insert him into Hearies category. It goes against my rules but again, the rules are meant to be broken, though.
The chances of me meeting him is slim, which I do not care much ... but it's been fun reading his entries from time to time.

Get Me A Whiffle Bat, Please?
Elisa wrote on her xanga:
I think we're like the popular girls at a big high school. Everybody hates us, but its because they're jealous of us and scared of us and wants to be like us. It's hard being at the top, but we never have to worry about finding a date for prom night.
This is a classic sympton of having a delusional mind. :-) Snap out of it and get yourself back to reality and start to mingle with normal people outside of your group that you spent many years brownnosing. Ugh.

Sports Talk II
It was reported that an ex-NFL kicker Cole Ford, who graduated from Southern Cal and played for Oakland Raiders, was the culprit who fired the pellets at Siegfried & Roy's home in Las Vegas. It is possible that it is bias related but the Las Vegas Police Department ruled it out. C'mon, let's be serious for a minute -- never mind the cops' decision that it is not bias-related incident -- they always do that all the time. Anyway, this just proved that NFL needs to broaden its horizons in acceptance and reduce the homophobia comments in the locker rooms and on the playing field.
Wondered what the BoiFromTroy has to say about his favorite team that produced a nutty person like Cole Ford? Something to be proud of your Southern Cal roots, eh?
Last night at Equinox, Benis and I worked out. We snickered, giggled and muttered about things around us. We were on a treadmill and watched one guy staring at himself excessively by the mirror. He is so fucking in love wiht himself. So god-damned narcissistic! Anyway, we were watchintg the Twins-Yankees on television while exercising on a treadmill. Lots of guys cheered for Yankees.
Then we saw the tube commercial where a little boy of 4 or 5 years old playing tennis with an adult guy. That 4 or 5 years old boy was great. He was good, so good that it made me laugh. Then the adult barely beats the little boy only because the little boy was distracted when his parents' SUV arrived. The adult guy were worn out but pumped up that he beats this little boy. As the window rolled down in the SUV, you saw two familiar persons sitting. The father of the little boy shouted to the little boy that it's time to go home. It was Andre Agassi and his wife, Steffi Graf. That was a good commercial.
After that, I asked Benis a legitimate question. Is the NASCAR a sport? We are Southerners and we have the right to decide whether if it is a sport or not. Northerners & Westerners do not apply.
"No, it is not a sport. It is just an entertainment." Benis said. I see. I also do not think it is a sport. In fact, it does not require you to exercise, sweat and puff at all. In fact, it wasted the gas. Looking at the environment and preservation of our energies, the NASCAR events truly defied the logic of this -- it only did not defy, it mocked the need of conservation.
It is not a sport. It should be stopped, banned and be forgotten.
When we were done with the workouts at Equinox, Benis got paged by Richie Rich to meet him at XL Bar, just right before Faggot Feud. I groaned and told him that I'm too tired and worn out to go to a bar right after the workouts! Insistence always won, don't they? Off to XL Bar where we were greeted by LePore and Rich. They learned some signs. Like cute and sexy. Then Richie attempted to teach that to Amanda on stage. It was hysterical. The game between the hearing teams were very close -- it was in no manner with ours last week -- we just killed another team. Even Richie told me that it was more fun dealing with mine than the one last night. I saw a cute cowboy from Dallas whom I want to use the lasso to catch. Yeah, I got his email. That was cool. Wish me luck.
Oh, did I mention that I was about 2 feet away from the guy who won the first season of Survivior at XL Bar? Yeah, that Richard the naked fag whom I rooted against when I watched the program. Richard and Tina remained to be the only guys I really cannot stand the most. Boy, he is ugly and yet, he wore the fancy suit with a young, good-looking guy. Money does buy things in this community.

Thank You, Franco
Was out of office today on an errand. When I was done with the errand, I had a quick lunch with Benis. Talked a little then he mentioned that Franco is on AIM and if I want to say few words, eh? I nodded and IMmed him to talk a little. Asked him if he's recuperating all right from his devastating loss of his best friend, he's okay as can be.
Told him that I care, even if I teased him bit too much but I do care. Just wanted to make sure, is all. Franco replied, "I know you cared. That is why I have the utmost respect for you, RT."
That was the nicest thing anyone had said to me in a while. Sigh. Love ya, hottie.
Ahh, I should mention that a certain friend of mine for a long time recently set up her own blog. She said she was inspired to create one. How sweet.
To a certain person out in the West, shame on you for exploiting your family in the name of desperate attention! You know who you are! And get a clue, you're one lousy actress.
Today, during the errand, I was at the store that sells bedframes and matresses. I saw two Port Authority police officers in uniform standing very closely with each other and they were discussing with a guy who sells these things. These hot guys were talking about buying a queen-sized bed, which is right next to them. Perhaps for themselves. Nice, nice, nice.
I cannot wait to see the movie called ... Team America: World Police.
To amuse your own thoughts, here is a picture to watch, think and sigh.
Sigh.

Sports Talk
My brave Cavaliers football team is ranked No. 10 in the country with a record of 4-0, 2-0 and will play Clemson on ESPN. Clemson is angry, wounded team never to be underestimated even if they are 1-3.
I guess I'll tune in on ESPN on Thursday night. Sorry, fags, I won't be out to gay bars. I'll be at some heterosexual sports bar to root for the Cavaliers.
On other hand, my high school's girls volleyball team will begin its defense of Mason-Dixon Championship in Talladega, Alabama on Friday. This is a tough situation to be in -- last year, Virginia went 2-1 against Alabama in Knoxville, Tennessee including the championship match.
But again, Virginia practically returned everyone else. I'm not sure about Alabama, though.
Go Cavaliers! Go Cardinals!

Nery & Edward
My family has a friend named Nery who is Deaf and lives in Vienna, Virginia. She was born and raised in Havana, Cuba. Nery is passionate, wild and full of life woman, despite the fact that she cannot write nor read in English but at 68, that does not stop her from trying to learn. She is very fluent in ASL, though.
However, she was in Havana when she first met Edward, who was on a vacation in Havana and fell in love with her. This happened few months before Fidel Castro took over the island. Edward bagged her and brought her to Virginia while he worked for General Printing Office until his retirement.
One time, I was staying at his home for the weekend as I desperately needed a break from Gallaudet. Edward and Nery baked home-made pizza and accidentally spilled the cayenne peppers excessively. Edward raced to remove the peppers but it was too much for them to clear it up. Nery insisted that Edward go ahead and bake it anyway and see my reaction. I ate while they stared. I nearly died of dehyderation! Nery was convulsed with heavy laughters. While Edward panicked and fed me lots of water to drink.
However, there is a tale that I never forgot about Nery, courtesy of Edward. Edward loves to drink. One day, they went to a deaf event in Maryland, just off from 495 Beltway. Edward was too drunk to drive, Nery insisted that she drives. This happened more than 40 years ago, Edward explained. Edward was concerned that she cannot read English on the signs but Nery insisted that she knew the familiar words to get to Vienna. He decided to let her drive while he slept in the car, he checked the gas to make sure that it's available. It was nearly 3/4. Leading her to the beltway, he dozed off.
Later, the car hits a common bump on the beltway which jolted Edward to wake up and saw a sign, "College Park". He thought it was odd because the car is supposed to go south, not north. As soon as Edward realized that the car is on the correct path -- but there is something wrong with the picture. Edward noticed that the gas is almost empty. He was baffled and looked at time, it was nearly 5 AM in the morning -- suddenly, he realized that Nery has been driving on the beltway in circles! For hours!
I watched Edward in amazement as Edward said, "Yes, true biz! Yes, true! Her did it!" He pointed at her.
Nery blew up at Edward in Cuban-style, "Must you tell everyone about that? MUST MUST MUST????"
You cannot deny but love them for who they are.

Basement as usual?
Rodney Dangerfield is dead at 82. It is about the time he dropped dead and everyone did not laugh. He is such a legend in his way, filthy mouth with plenty of funny comments. Among his famous lines were: "I was so ugly that when I was born, the doctor slapped my mother." and "Every time I get in an elevator, the operator says the same thing to me: 'Basement?'"
I enjoyed his flicks in Caddyshack and Back to School. In Back to School, where the school registration had a long line, Rodney whispered to his limousine driver who went outside to park his limousine in front of registration area and erected a sign, "Madonna Is Here". The long line emptied so fast. From there, I never forgot the line -- I often walked in bars where it was crowded, I often thought of Rodney's antics, wished that I'd have someone do that now.
Ann Coulter continues to be a dumb broad who harped on her hatred of liberalism. She accused the liberals of protecting the ones who were put in Guatanamo Bay. Ann does not get it. We are civilized nation. We have to treat the prisoners with the same respect as accord per the international laws. I must admit that it was clever of Bush's lawyers to come up with the line: Enemy Combatants. By that, the Bush administration sets them apart from the ordinary prisoners. It is a bad precedent. Perhaps in time, many countries will copy and disregard the international laws -- all because of Bush. It excludes the prisoners' rights to trial or to defend themselves.
Every human being in the world is entitled to have a speedy trial. To throw someone into the brig for years without hearing the verdicts is simply wrong. Is simply immoral. Is simply evil. There is nothing conservative nor liberal about it, you dumbfuck! Rot in hell, Ann. You're just a bitter old hag.

The Plot Thickens ...
This is the latest information out of Maryland -- the rumors have that Petru was never pushed or fell down the stairs.
He was found tied and beaten in a locked room. The information is very skeptical at this moment but it was said that Petru was beaten badly -- he was left alone for some time and tied up with the duct tapes. It was rumored that when the cops and others came to help Petru, Petru mentioned the culprit's name, Joseph Barr.
The whole thing is under investigation -- lots of people felt that Joseph was the person who beats up on Petru. And not only that, Petru does not have any bruises on his body except for his head.
Again, it is all rumors. I don't know who is telling the truth. Only time will reveal the drama as the plot thickens ...

Again, it is all rumors. I don't know who is telling the truth. Only time will reveal the drama as the plot thickens ...

Insanity Rules!
In Tucson, Arizona -- Mom dies of heartbroken after identifying her dead son who was gunned in Iraq, courtesy of GW Bush's mistakes.
In Knoxville, Tenn -- Someone fired at Bush/Cheney's campaign office and shattered the windows.
In New York -- a 86 year old woman used her cane to whack the Republican woman who insisted to hold the Bush/Cheney sign in the apartment lobby. Why? The 86 year old woman said she does not want the politics to enter her building -- and the Republican lady does not live there -- she just came in to hold the sign.
I also learned something new about Dartmouth -- that so-called Republican conservative, Jack Ryan who resigned from running for Illinois Senate after the local newspaper zeroed in on his divorce with actress Jeri Ryan who accused him of pressuring her to perform sex in front of others at sex clubs. Jack Ryan graduated from Dartmouth. So did Theodor Geisel. Know who Geisel is? If not, shame on you.
Not only that, they had a senior survey on Dartmouth graduates last spring which was published in DAM (Dartmouth Alumni Magazine), 80 percent intends to vote for Kerry, 5 percent for Bush. One person wondered if the seniors were brainwashed by the professors who were anti-Bush? One biology professor suggested that the results of this survey reflected the "dissatisfication of scientists -- faculty and students -- with the widespread efforts by the Bush administration to undermine the scientific process underlying policy decisions. From global climate change and stem cell research to effects of snowmobiles in Yellowstone and research on sexually transmitted diseases, this administration twists science to match its own political agenda."
Well said, Stephen Jenkins.
Related to the election -- For your own thoughts, this quote was uttered by your favorite guy, Joseph Stalin.
"The people who cast the votes do not decide an election, the people who count the votes do."
Does this sounds familiar in Florida four years ago?

Mt. St. Helens
Since I was a kid, I enjoyed reading, watching and learning about volcanoes. I think it is just fantastic. Even if it kills, it also creates life. When I was a kid, there was a movie about Mt. St. Helens on HBO, my brother and I would watch it 1,854,722 times just to see the eruption. Just to see the eruption. No captions were available on that film. We were insane, though.
Mt. Rainier is overdue for an eruption. I do not understand why Mt. St. Helens has to erupt instead of that Rainier.
Yellowstone is the world's largest volcano -- yep, you got it right. It is! In fact, the national park is on the top of its massive dormant volcano. The last time, it erupted was 600,000 years ago -- its debris were found in the eastern part of Missouri!
Anyway, there is a blog about Mt. St. Helens. So cool.

Check this out -- have fun reading this bizarre crap.
On other hand, I'm trying so hard to follow Ann Coulter's book. Somebody please tell her that there are conservative Democrats, there are liberal Republicans. Liberals do not conform to one party, for god's sake.
And as much as I support this country, I do not think we should force the students in schools to do the pledge of allegiance. It is so un-American to force others to do that.
And this morning, I saw Ann Coulter spewing her boring rhetoric rants about John Kerry. She said that John Kerry is the male version of Anna Nicole Smith. What? Well, I enjoyed watching her on her reality show two years ago -- I thought she was hilarious, opinionated and All-American girl. She was simply great!
Basically, that bitch needs to get a life. But again, so do I.

So Much For Your National Security
Chris, Shane and I left Hanover and drove down on Interstate 91. An odd thing happened, just before the intersection of 89 and 91 ... there was a line of cars slowing down in a straight line. I was sitting in the back -- I quickly pulled the seat belt on because I saw the police cars parking by the highway.
I was wrong. It was the United States Borders Patrol!! One officer asked Chris and Shane about something else -- and they answered. That officer then turned to look at me and started to speak to me. I gestured that I cannot hear. The officer nodded and motioned Chris to go.
Suddenly, Chris and Shane turned to look at me and said, "What did you say?"
I mentioned that I just told her that I'm deaf. Shane said, "The officer said you just answered her question!!"
I asked Shane, "What was the question?"
"She asked if you're American citizen?"
I was perplexed and told Shane, "But I just told her that I'm deaf. How can I answer that question?" Shane shrugged -- I asked why did they patrol on the interstate highway -- "Probably terrorism with election? I dunno."
So much for our national security.

Part 2 from Hanover!
See? The Mac computers are everywhere -- even in the lobby of Hanover Inn. Awesome.
Went to the D-GALA Cocktail Party. One drunkard woman came to us and asked us what "D-GALA" stands for.
Chris uttered, "Dartmouth - Gay And Lesbians Alumni" -- the woman flinched and said, "Oh, sweet God, I'm so proud of you all."
Chris broke into hysterical laughter. I met some interesting folks. One thing led to the other, we were invited to a fancy banquet -- like the ones you had at Kellogg Conference Center.
No dime was spared.
Now, we are taking Chris to bed -- because he is too fucked up to handle himself. Sigh.
I found out that Dartmouth College only has 4,500 students but I really liked this town. I'm truly impressed.
Off to loiter with ... I forgot his name. Fuck. He's cute and adorable as hell. Hope he'll like me. If not, c'est la vie.

Greetings from Hanover, New Hampshire
I swear there are Mac computers EVERYWHERE in this town -- you can find it in every corner of every Dartmouth building, literally!
Dartmouth College is beautiful. Hanover is tiny, college town with no fast food restaurants in sight. Connecticut River is right there down the hill. I also learned that Hanover is on the Appalachian Trail, it mentioned that it is 534 miles away from Mt. Katahdin in Maine.
The students here at Dartmouth, especially men, are gorgeous. I think the administration screened the obese or fatty people out before getting in this school -- I swear I hadn't seen a fat guy here. I may be the only person here who has a gut sticking out. I need to go to the Equinox with Benis immediately when I get back to Manhattan.
Hanover Inn is owned by Dartmouth College, it has a tunnel to another building which contains the student union as well as the cafeteria. Plenty of eye candy for me to enjoy.
I have few minutes left to blog and tell what I am doing in this town -- like I said, the Mac computers are EVERYWHERE!
Webster Hall, one of several libraries on the campus, has a huge collection of rare books. When I entered the Webster Hall, I saw a book shelves that goes about 4 stories high -- and right outside of the book shelves has a glass encased around it -- like a fortress to preserve the rare books. It was a sight to behold.
Visiting an Ivy league school like Dartmouth College is humbling experience, I must admit. It puts Gallaudet to shame as well as RIT. LOL.
I had a great massage this morning at the "Advanced Bodywork Institute of Vermont". I got a million knots everywhere in my body. I must admit that this was the first time I got a massage that does not come with sex.
We went to Quechee Gorge this morning -- wow. It is a beautiful sight. Tonight, we will go to the Cocktail Party and ... who knows what happens next?
Cheers,

Just Arrived
Update from Hanover, NH -- it is tiny town. Very nice. Just few seconds to tell what I think of this place.
I did not know that Hanover Inn is right across from Dartmouth College. In fact, right off the steps of Hanover Inn, there are assortments of bars that you'd find in any college-town.
And so far, I'm enjoying the sights of geeks and bullshit like that.
One thing that made me notice is that Dartmouth is pro-Mac. No place have I seen more Mac -- in fact, I hadn't seen any Windows around.
And the library is quite impressive. Will discuss more about it later -- !
All in all, Hanover seems to be a town for people who has money. Ahh!
But that's OK with me. Gotta go -- and hit the bars with Chris & Shane.
Cheers,

Final Score: 389 to 30
In a night where almost nothing goes right for me, things seemed to right itself out in the end if you back off and let it flow on its own.
In New York, Equinox is a gymnasium reserved for people who has money. Benis is now pursued by an agency whom many regarded as the most sought after. They lavished on Benis to clean himself up a little and buff himself a little by signing him up for tanning, waxing and workout at Equinox. Benis explained to The Boss that he does not want to work out alone at a gymnasium in a new city, can he brings a friend as well? The Boss then issued one for ... me. I was speechless and surprised. Benis, we will work out together. Thanks and good luck, baby.
Later in the evening, Cyn and Benis became nervous and decided to drink Absolut Vodka with Cranberry Juice a little to alleviate the jittery of playing on Faggot Feud at XL Bar. It didn't calm their jittery. Our first choice interpreter had an emergency situation that required her to be at somewhere else. So Aaron ended up interpreting for us. It was difficult thing to handle because the lights were blaring on us and I tried the best to read his signs in the midst of heavy lights and apparently, the bar also has a fog machine which clouds the visibility for me to read the interpreter at times.
Enterainers Richie Rich and Amanda LePore pulled an interesting introduction, throwing comments against each other in an affectionate manner. Then Richie Rich said something that made me respect him even more, "For the first time in history of Faggot Feud, we will have a deaf, but not blind, deaf team competing tonight. Come over!"
Surdus, Benis, Cyn and I got on the stage -- we had some struggles with where the interpreter is to position -- because of light problems. But it eventually ironed itself out -- but Cyn kept on getting giddy and shove my left arm repeatedly without giving me a break. Tried all tricks to shut her up was not successful. I noticed that Benis and Cyn fed each other off on jitteries. That really made me bit annoyed and frustrated at times. I was the captain of the team. Amanda asked each contestant their names, their backgrounds, and few questions. She asked me how I had been doing. I shot back, "I'm good, but except that I'm annoyed with everyone else today."
Amanda cooed, "Yes, we all get annoyed all the time, but I'm sure I did not annoy you?" I giggled. She asked me if I'm top or bottom. "Top," I said. Benis interrupted that I was lying and that I was versatile. Cyn agreed. I was baffled.
Timeout: Actually, I'm probably 80% Top, 20% Bottom. If I feel comfortable and in love with someone else, I'll bottom. But otherwise, I prefer to top. Yes, that is too much information. But I had to defend myself, really.
I stared at Benis while Amanda talked to Cyn. I told Benis, "Did you realize that by telling Amanda and everyone else in the audience that I am versatile, people will think we did play together?" Benis had his hand on his mouth, "Oh. But actually, come to think of this, if we are together, you'd let me fuck you, right?" I smiled. He's right.
Then I saw Amanda asking Cyn if she's Top or Bottom -- Cyn resoundingly answered that she is versatile. The audience erupted in loud cheers and applauses. Benis was the last one to be interviewed -- as I was being distracted by Cyn's repeated shoves -- Richie Rich said that he saw Benis earlier in the day on the subway and had an instant crush on Benis. Blah, blah.
I get to play first, I was bit confused with the game rules and to stomp the light -- result is that the girl beats me to it. The hearing team messed up with the answers and left the game to us -- we answered it all right and won the first round, 64-0. In the 2nd round, we fucked it up. And they won 30 points. Then in the 3rd round, the hearing team picked many correct words but they also striked themselves out after 3rd mistake -- then they asked me to give one answer -- if I got it right, I steal their points. I am not sure which one I answered but it was correct. Then it was good enough to roll up to a 128-30 lead. Then in 4th & 5th round, we just demolished them, 389-30.
The truth is that we were dazzled, confused and bit heavy buzzed by the whole drama. Amanda and Richie tried to pull Benis pants down but he declined -- good for Benis! He's not cheap. Even Richie commented, "I like that."
At one point, we had to identify anything that we wears that starts with "S" -- I said swimming suits. They asked me, "Like Speedos, etc?" I nodded. Bingo, we won. Anyway, Amanda asked me if I liked Speedos. I said, "No." She said, "Then what do you like?" I said, "I like baggy shorts." Amanda, "Plenty for you to imagine what is in it for you?" I said, "Exactly what I liked!"
Then in the bonus round, I was too distracted by the persistent shoves and I decided to insert Surdus and Benis in the bonus round to win money out of $200 possibility. We won $178.
After that, we were deluded with congratulations, stares, free drinks and chats with Richie Rich and Amanda LePore and few others. About 15 deaf people were there as well. I think we made an impression on the audience that we can compete and wipe them off the map. Later, I thanked the XL Manager for giving us a chance to play. It was good experience.
All in all, it was great night. Crazy but fun.
Up next is a getaway from Gotham City for the weekend! Yahoo!!

Food For Your Own Thoughts
Dad blames Bush for his son's death -- When the United States, Great Britain and Soviet Union crushed Germany, they were quick to set up the system where the masses can seek for food, health and so on. The result is that the Nazis did not have a chance to encourage the masses to resist and wage the cat-and-mouse games with these three nations. How? One has to plan ahead for the future right after the post-war. GW Bush and his administration, especially Rumsfeld, blundered by allowing the lootings, unable to restore electricity, unable to provide the basic necessities for several days. GW Bush and his cronies sent the Armed Forces to seize the oil industries as the primary targets instead of attending to the masses' needs. They insist that to operate the oil industry, Iraq can help its own people. Who gives a fuck about that? The first 10 days were crucial in cutting the stem of doubts whether if the Iraqi War was good or not. It is no secret that they failed miserably.
The result is frequent bombings, beheadings, kidnappings and a lot of tensions among the ethnic and religious groups. I'm sure that Eisenhower, Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin would look at the situation in rather disappointing approach. Bush has his chance to prove it -- but he blew it when he ordered the Armed Forces to secure and guard the oil industries and ignore the lootings. People in Iraq looked at this clearly -- "They wanted our oil!" People in Baghdad still complained that there are frequent blackouts. Why is it not taken care of? Inexcusable.
Yes, Iraqis may be grateful for the removal of Saddam but they still regard us as the ones who occupied their country. Even if we already turned the government to Iraqi's hands, many still said that they are the puppets of US' whims. I really cannot blame them.
Al-Zarqawi gambled to play the cat-and-mouse games with the Armed Forces and so far, he is successful in driving people nuts. We could not find Osama bin Laden who is 6'5 tall, we could not find Muhammad Omar who has one eye and what makes Bush and his cronies that they'll find Al-Zarqawi?
Cheers to Michael Rogers for identifying another hypocritical fag in the Republican National Committee along with Jay Banning, his name is Dan Gurley, he is the Deputy Political Director and National Field Director of Republican National Committee. How can one works for a group that adopted the platform that goes against one is beyond me.
Enough about the politics, I'm going to hop on another subject -- which is close to Merritt and Delanne's heart. It was reported that Mount St. Helens is slated to erupt in the next few days. Delanne, be careful and check the sky when it happened -- be sure to take some pictures of the eruption. It should be interesting experience for you, Delanne.
Tonight is the one -- Benis, Surdus, Cyn and I will venture out to XL Bar to participate in Faggot Feud versus whoever challenged us! Hope we win! And it'll be surreal experience to observe the masses and LePore's antics. Before going to the XL Bar, I'll nap. I'm practically worn out at work -- so much things to do, so little time to do. C'est la vie. Which is good thing because this weekend, I am getting out of the city to recuperate.
For some people, why did I say Dorian Yanke is dead? Well, he is just a prick that nagged me like gnats do to a person a long time ago -- when he graduated and moved on with his life, he dissipated over the time. Nobody really cares about him. To me, he is truly dead. I do not care nor have the desire to hear what's up with his life. When someone mentioned about the twinkies, it reminded me of Dorian's freshman year. He was arrogant prick, 'nuff said. I was chatting with Nanc and he walked by and tossed the twinkies onto my lap. I personally preferred cupcakes, but this twinkies are disgusting. He said, "The machine gave me wrong one, so I figured you wanted this." I tossed it back to him and said, "No, I don't want it."
From there, he has been relentlessly calling me these names associated with twinkies. Then one day, Dorian's sister, Myra and I ended up roommates -- she is a great roommate. I enjoyed her tremendously and she also agreed with me to forbade this boy from entering our townhouse. It was a good payback as there were several times which he came by and begged and I still refused. Granted, he is intelligent and handsome but he wasted it by insulting people around him relentlessly. You know, when he took his shirt off, I thought his nipples were bit ... odd. Guys, agree or not?

C'est la vie. Which is good thing because this weekend, I am getting out of the city to recuperate.
For some people, why did I say Dorian Yanke is dead? Well, he is just a prick that nagged me like gnats do to a person a long time ago -- when he graduated and moved on with his life, he dissipated over the time. Nobody really cares about him. To me, he is truly dead. I do not care nor have the desire to hear what's up with his life. When someone mentioned about the twinkies, it reminded me of Dorian's freshman year. He was arrogant prick, 'nuff said. I was chatting with Nanc and he walked by and tossed the twinkies onto my lap. I personally preferred cupcakes, but this twinkies are disgusting. He said, "The machine gave me wrong one, so I figured you wanted this." I tossed it back to him and said, "No, I don't want it."
From there, he has been relentlessly calling me these names associated with twinkies. Then one day, Dorian's sister, Myra and I ended up roommates -- she is a great roommate. I enjoyed her tremendously and she also agreed with me to forbade this boy from entering our townhouse. It was a good payback as there were several times which he came by and begged and I still refused. Granted, he is intelligent and handsome but he wasted it by insulting people around him relentlessly. You know, when he took his shirt off, I thought his nipples were bit ... odd. Guys, agree or not?

Vote for Bush!! Vote for Bush!! (Not!)
This individual seeks an executive position. He will be available next January, and is willing to relocate.
GEORGE W. BUSH
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington, DC 20520
EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE:
Law Enforcement:
I was arrested in Kennebunkport, Maine, in 1976 for driving under the influence of alcohol. I pled guilty, paid a fine, and had my driver's license suspended for 30 days. My Texas driving record has been "lost" and is not available.
Military:
I joined the Texas Air National Guard and went AWOL. I refused to take a drug test or answer any questions about my drug use. By joining the Texas Air National Guard, I
College:
I graduated from Yale University with a low C average. I was a cheerleader.
PAST WORK EXPERIENCE:
I ran for U.S. Congress and lost. I began my career in the oil business in Midland, Texas, in 1975. I bought an oil company, but couldn't find any oil in Texas. The company went bankrupt shortly after I sold all my stock. I bought the Texas Rangers baseball team in a sweetheart deal that took land using taxpayer money. With the help of my father and our friends in the oil industry (including Enron CEO Ken Lay), I was elected governor of Texas.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS GOVERNOR OF TEXAS:
- I changed Texas pollution laws to favor power and oil companies, making Texas the most polluted state in the Union. During my tenure, Houston replaced Los Angeles as the most smog-ridden city in America.
- I cut taxes and bankrupted the Texas treasury to the tune of billions in borrowed money.
- I set the record for the most executions by any governor in American history.
- With the help of my brother, the governor of Florida, and my father's appointments to the Supreme Court, I became President after losing by over 500,000 votes.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS PRESIDENT:
- I am the first President in U.S. history to enter office with a criminal record.
- I invaded and occupied two countries at a continuing cost of over one billion dollars per week.
- I spent the U.S. surplus and effectively bankrupted the U.S. Treasury.
- I shattered the record for the largest annual deficit in U.S. history.
- I set an economic record for most private bankruptcies filed in any 12-month period.
- I set the all-time record for most foreclosures in a 12-month period.
- I set the all-time record for the biggest drop in the history of the U.S. stock market. In my first year in office, over 2 million Americans lost their jobs and that trend continues every month.
- I'm proud that the members of my cabinet are the richest of any administration in U.S. history. My "poorest millionaire," Condoleeza Rice, has a Chevron oil tanker named after her.
- I set the record for most campaign fund-raising trips by a U.S. President.
- I am the all-time U.S. and world record-holder for receiving the most corporate campaign donations.
- My largest lifetime campaign contributor, and one of my best friends, Kenneth Lay, presided over the largest corporate bankruptcy fraud in U.S. History: Enron.
- My political party used Enron private jets and corporate attorneys to ensure my success with the U.S. Supreme Court during my election decision.
- I have protected my friends at Enron and Halliburton against investigation or prosecution. More time and money was spent investigating the Monica Lewinsky affair than has been spent investigating one of the biggest corporate rip-offs in history. I presided over the biggest energy crisis in U.S. history and refused to intervene when corruption involving the oil industry was revealed.
- I presided over the highest gasoline prices in U.S. history.
- I cut over-time pay.
- I changed the U.S. policy to allow convicted criminals to be awarded government contracts.
- I appointed more convicted criminals to administration than any President in U.S. history.
- I created the Ministry of Homeland Security, the largest bureaucracy in the history of the United States government.
- I've broken more international treaties than any President in U.S. history.
- I am the first President in U.S. history to have the United Nations remove the U.S. from the Human Rights Commission.
- I withdrew the U.S. from the World Court of Law.
- I refused to allow inspector's access to U.S. "prisoners of war" detainees, and have refused to abide by the Geneva Convention.
- I am the first President in history to refuse United Nations election inspectors (during the 2002 U.S. elections).
- I set the record for fewest numbers of press conferences of any President since the advent of television.
- I set the all-time record for most days on vacation in any one-year period. After taking off the entire month of August 2001, I presided over the worst security failure in U.S. history.
- I garnered the most sympathy ever for the U.S. after the World Trade Center attacks and less than a year later made the U.S. the most hated country in the world---the largest failure of diplomacy in world history.
- I have set the all-time record for most people worldwide to simultaneously protest me in public venues (15 million people), shattering the record for protests against any person in the history of mankind.
- I am the first President in U.S. history to order an unprovoked, preemptive attack and the military occupation of a sovereign nation. I did so against the will of the United Nations, the majority of U.S. citizens, and the world community.
- I have cut health care benefits for war veterans and support a cut in duty benefits for active duty troops and their families in wartime.
- In my State of the Union Address, I lied about our reasons for attacking Iraq and then blamed the lies on our British friends.
- I am the first President in history to have a majority of Europeans (71%) view my presidency as the biggest threat to world peace and security.
- I am supporting development of a nuclear "Tactical Bunker Buster," a WMD.
- I have so far failed to fulfill my pledge to bring Osama Bin Laden to justice.
RECORDS AND REFERENCES:
- All records of my tenure as governor of Texas are now in my father's library, sealed and unavailable for public view.
- All records of SEC investigations into my insider trading and my bankrupt companies are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public view.
- All records or minutes from meetings that I, or my Vice-President, attended regarding public energy policy are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public review.

Man, I Look Awful
Damn you guys, you never told me that I am fuckin' ugly.
When I smile, I probably scare kids.
This happened at the festival where I saw this dude. We talked and he told me that he has his own moblog. I thought he was bullshitting -- he pulled his cell and snapped the picture before I could stop him -- as you can see my left hand trying to wave him to stop it -- but the result is -- I grinned, looked awful and looked retarded.
Go figure. Thanks a lot, Seannie.

Faggot Feud, Sukkot and October 1st.
It is confirmed. This Wednesday evening, Benis, Cyn, Surdus and I will participate in Faggot Feud versus some hearing team along with two interpreters. It should be crazy. It is at XL Bar on 16 Street between 8 and 9 Avenues in New York - 9~29~04. Eeek!
Then the next day on 30th is Sukkot, another Jewish holiday -- which means what? I'm off from work -- Praise the Lord!
Then the next day after Sukkot, I'm off to New Hampshire for the weekend!
I cannot wait. I have to log off to pee because I'm so excited.

October 15th
You know, October 15th should be considered as the national holiday. If people wanted to represent this country in a proud manner, October 15th is the perfect date.
Why? It is the Midnight Madness for NCAA Hoops! It is the starting date to practice and get ready for the fierce competition of NCAA Basketball, Men and Women. Go Virginia Cavaliers! As for Virginia Women, I'm curious about Takeisha Granberry, Sharnee Zoll and Denesha Kenion -- the newcomers on the team. Will they be able to turn the pessimistic tide of last season into a winning one? I'm sick of Connecticut and Tennessee hogging the Top 1-2 for the last 5 years.
Good news, Louisiana State is No. 1 -- bad news, Virginia probably will face them in Baton Rouge if they beat Arizona State in Women's Sports Foundation Classic Tournament. As of now, Virginia is virtually unranked in many magazines and newspapers -- a first in 20 years or so. Of course, I am not happy camper at this moment. Coach Ryan, if you fucked this season, you must be fired.
On other hand, I smiled with a glee that Florida State's Quarterback, Chris Rix is injured. He injured his ankle. Boo hoo. I never liked him or his arrogance. He was busted and fined by the campus security after some people told the security officers that Rix was using the handicapped parking tag to occupy the handicapped parking spaces. And on his website, Chris Rix professed to devote himself to the "Glory of God and his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ". Man, I love his website because it made me snicker so hard. So bad. Ugh. Rix is overrated and ridiculous to start with.
I have news for you, Chris Rix -- God does not give a fuck about your accomplishments on football field nor does he cares about winning or losing. People like you need to see that God has better things to do than to cheer for you, you prick. Oops, maybe that is why you got an ankle injury. To see that there is more to life than football.

Is blogACTIVE Good For Us?
Some people attacked the architect of blogACTIVE for outing many people, especially the ones who is actively against the gay issues. Most of these are Republicans. So far, the blogACTIVE outed David Dreier, Ed Schrock and Jay Banning.
These are justified outings because they voted against themselves, the blogACTIVE is not out to blackmail nor intimidate them at all. They are out to shred their secrets and discredit their credibility. All in one bang. To out them is to make them accountable for their actions.
I do not see anyone whine at New York Post for outing Cynthia Nixon. The NY POST is owned by Rupert Murdoch, himself a Republican. If the blogACTIVE cannot out anyone, but NY POST can -- is this hypocrisy? Of course, it is.
Oh, by the way, David Dreier's shameless lover, Brad Smith, who runs Dreier's office. He earned $156,100 per year, making him the highest paid in that category in the government. I'd love for the Republicans to come on and defend Brad Smith that he *deserved* the fuckin' $156,100 per year.
Did anyone notice that the fourth hurricane bashed Florida once again? Maybe it is the way mother nature is punishing Florida for fucked-up election, its love for Jeb Bush and reminding the nation that if we want to keep that fool in White House for the next 4 years, much worse is yet to come for us? The signs are hard to ignore. Global warming is an issue that has to be dealt with. And GW Bush acted like it is not even real. Few degree changes in the temperature can produce a violent storm! So it is no surprise that people claimed that Charley and Ivan were pretty powerful. It is time to wake up and be realistic. Boot that fool out and return him back to Texas where he belongs and let him snort cocaine until he overdose on it.
On other hand, I was stunned to see Jason adding me on his blogosphere list. Thanks, Jason -- you're on mine as well.

Deaf Weekend
Virginia Cavaliers is now 4-0, after a 31-10 win over Syracuse. The combined score of the season is now 182-48. This week is "bye" and next week, they will face the angry, wounded Tigers of Clemson who is crippled at 1-3. Good thing, they will not play at Death Valley. They will play them in Charlottesville.
Speaking of Virginia Cavaliers, I received an email from Liz Sahin. That was absolutely cool! Eventually, we shall meet somehow, someday, sometimes in the short future.
My weekend was very nice and mellow. The kitchen in my apartment has been ... imploded and replaced with brand-new stuff. Now I can finally wash the fuckin' dishes. Praise the Lord.
I over-napped last Friday, that was awful. I woke up much later and decided not to go to DPHH because it was too late. Later, KB said that the DPHH rocked. I'm completley jealous. I went to Nowhere Bar as I needed a break from my apartment. Ended up chatting with a friend of mine who is a bartender. One straight guy barged in the gay bar with two females. They were drunk and accidentally spilled the drinks on my shorts which I do not really care much, though. But the straight guy kept on apologizing and kissing my right hand. And bought me a couple of drinks. Relax, studmuffin, now -- go away.
Saturday, Web and I ventured out to Columbia University on West 120th Street -- it was beautiful day and beautiful campus. Very quiet. Since it was Yom Kippur -- the Day of Atonement -- lots of cute Jewish boys walked around. Probably to the local synagogues, I stared and drooled. *sigh*
The reason why I went to Columbia University is to watch the FunnyZero play which is performed by three deaf actors and one hearing actor. To me, I have the standards. I like the dark comedy. I like the stuff that you can find in Bill Maher, Chris Rock and all that stuff. I do not like the "light" or "cute" comedy. But the play was all right as can be.
I met my old pen pal for the first time in years -- Vigilante! That was her last name before she married someone else. Later, I get to meet her son who is 5, soon to be 6 on October 17, he said to me. Absolutely cute. But again, I'm not family-type. Like I told someone else earlier, if I have a kid, I'll toss it in the trash can. I can pamper but cannot raise one.
I decided to stay home on Saturday night because the next day was big day for many of us. Mark, Manny, Merritt, Lee, Dorian and Masa came in NYC from DC for Deaf Awareness Week Festival at the Lincoln Center.
I noticed something ... many people often said that I tend to talk too much, but in the last few years, I noticed that I underwent some kind of transformation -- I do not talk much, I get the kicks out of watching people. I smiled or snickered when one said the wrong things to others, or shared their opinions as FACTS to others. It was funny.
For example, I saw one guy telling the guy: "Did you know that I had a meeting with Ben Soukup in his office in Sioux Falls? Yes, true biz! It was strange for me!"
I'm like, "Who gives a fuck? I sat next to Ben at Deaf Way II and guess what? I never said a word to him because I do not find him interesting at all." No big deal.
Saw Karl Ewan, he was quite busy. Too bad, I could not say anything beyond "hi" to him. Dorian Fletcher is nothing new. He is still dramatic from DC. He fed me with cheap gossips which I am already saturated with! He also attempted to drop the bombshell which I yawned at -- that my childhood friend was diagnosed HIV Positive. Told him that I already knew. He gasped that I already knew. Knowledge is power.
It was good to see Margie last Saturday night. I was bit surprised that my blog does get around somehow. I shouldn't be surprised but still, a part of me is full of ego, a part of me wants to sulk a little.
God, I love Mark. He's crazy as usual. He is the one who inadvertently ended up on the stage with me in front of 1,000 spectators in DC few years ago. We had a lot of conversations to catch up and it was great.
It was good to see Lee ... he seems to age a little and matured a little which is much better than before.
Merritt and Manny, what can I say about them? They are just ... Merritt and Manny. Always dynamic duo from day one.
Thanks for a great weekend, lovers!

hi everyone, i'm chris, 32 from england, just wanted to say this is a great site. i love seeing hearing aids on women, especially BTE's, something about them is so sexy (dont know why i feel this, but they really are very attractive). if anyone feels the same and would like to chat, you can IM at chrisXXXX (on yahoo) or chrisXXXXXX (on aol) would love to chat with anyone that feels like me, women (with or without hearing aids) especially welcome.
