8.19.05 Tidbits

Maybe It was Not The Cats! Check this out. It brought a chuckle out of me. Hat tip to Philip who sent me the link a long time ago.

Pet Contest! Perlis suggested to me via the email that I have an entry once a month that focuses on our readers' pets. I think it is wonderful idea. What do you think of her idea? I probably will post 5 pictures per entry once a month. The deadline is September 1st. It will be posted sometimes on the first weekend of the month. Fire away and email me at Ridor9th@gmail.com

Washington Blade Fell To Its New Low: Chris Crain, the Editor of Washington Blade, has stooped to a new low -- by hiring a prostitute to write the columns for the magazine. This particular former prostitute who once worked in White House, Jeff Gannon / Jim Guckert, is now penning for Washington Blade. This just proved what I always said all along -- that Washington Blade is irrelevant paper to start with.

Writings On The Stall: When you go to the public bathroom to crap or to piss, do not lie to me that you do cruise the toilet stalls for some funny comments. I do. I love the one where it tells you to read the comments near the floor -- when you had to leave the toilet a little to bend down to read the tiny words -- the comments read, "Watch where you piss." Stuff like that made my day. Hat tip to Philip for the link.

Another Boy Scout To Be Reviled: This guy was an official of local Lutheran Church, active in the Boy Scouts and was married to a woman with few kids. And managed to find the time to fuck, kill and abuse women in different places including at his church. The BTK Killer, done by Dennis Rader of Wichita -- the same town where one of my LW3 compatriots hailed from -- was sentenced to 10 life sentences in the prison, he'll never see his freedom. But remember one thing -- he commented, "People will say that I'm not a Christian, but I believe I am."

Remember, it is between God and Dennis, not James Dobson or any Christian can judge Dennis' actions. But the point remains the same -- he's part of Boy Scouts. Another reason to keep away from these bad news group.

Guess Sex Is Rampant In Poland: A friend of mine from Riverside, California emailed me that his friend snapped this picture in Warsaw, Poland. The poster was issued on the exterior wall of the phone booth.

Apparently, sex do happens frequently in the phone booths. How typical of Polish folks. Did you know that this is the same town that condemned gay pride marches. Maybe it has something to do with this. Any further information on this amusing picture will be appreciated.

Another Idiotic Quote by GW Bush: "See, free nations are peaceful nations. Free nations don't attack each other. Free nations don't develop weapons of mass destruction." —George W. Bush, Milwaukee, Wis., Oct. 3, 2003

Another Idiotic Quote by Pat Robertson: "The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism, and become lesbians."
-- Pat Robertson, fundraising letter, 1992

Gay Day at Phillies Game Marred by Anti-Gay Folks: In Philadelphia, there was a baseball game that hosted the Gay Community Night. Thousands of fans, including gay fans, came to watch the game. Michael Marcavage, the founder of RepentAmerica, has the right to protest his anti-gay rhetoric but why must he choose the same date on that particular night? Michael Marcavage and his cronies seemed to follow the gay people where they go. Protested at different places where gay events took place, the protests became a form of harrassment.

They can protest on any date but why did they choose this particular date just to antagonize the good gay people who came to enjoy the game? I am willing to bet you a dollar or two that Greg, the loony Xian prick on Rhymes With Right, would dispute that it is not a form of harassment. If it is not harassment, then it is stalking.

Michael Marcavage, your message does not work -- get a life. Go and flip some burgers, please.

But He Is Air Force Reserve Lieutenant Colonel! If this guy really hated GW Bush, you think he is the *only* one in the Armed Forces that hated GW Bush? Trust me, there are many. I already met some soldiers who rolled their eyes at the mention of GW Bush. It is that bad.

An Update with Mordru The Terrible: Mordru will not make its first appearance in JSA #79, in fact, he will show up in JSA #78 -- the last time he made such an appearance was in #51 when he was imprisoned in the Rock of Eternity. According to DC Comics, here is the hint:

A DAY OF VENGEANCE tie-in! The JSA desperately seeks Dr. Fate to help them find the missing Jakeem and Thunderbolt. Meanwhile, as the Spectre's rampage continues, the team's greatest enemy has found the opening he needs to destroy the JSA once and for all!

Again, Mordru rocks!
I think I said it enough for the day.

Run For Your Lives!

I just realized something. I was horrified at this particular thought of mine -- it is Summer 2005 -- which means what? Next summer is Summer 2006 -- this implied that the 15th Anniversary of my high school graduation is looming closer than I thought. I graduated in 1991.



Yes, My Class of '91 is bit odd. I am one of only two Caucasians. I am one of only two students that went to college and completed as well. IN fact, among the 78% of 11-member in the Class of '91 are African Americans, making it the most dominant minority group in school history, I believe. Yes, my class numbered is only 11. Thus, the graduation ceremony was very cute and brief.

From the left to right on the top row ...

Loretta: The most laziest athletic player in the school history, this girl once scored 37 points out of 39 points in a shocking upset over South Carolina School for the Deaf. She is indeed the most laziest student I ever had witnessed. The tricks that I learned how to bullshit throughout the college years can be traced to Loretta. Loretta was quite fond of James Madison University Women's Basketball because she used to have a mentor in Sydney Beasley and Floretta Jackson, both excelled playing basketball. Flo and Sydney called her "Lolo" which Loretta adopted for the rest of her high school years. In fact, Loretta and I was classmates, she's indded smart but simply refused to do anything farther than completing the high school diploma. What a waste.

Illia: Idiot.

Steven: Idiot -- took him like 15 years to complete his years at a deaf school. Don't know if he's alive or not. You simply cannot communicate with him. It's kinda sad.

Jerod: He used to harass me over the years but when I get out of high school years, he and I became friends. He's nice fellow. Lives in Charlottesville -- always managed to update me with the information related to Virginia Basketball and Football.

Keresha: This girl is fucking narcissitic. Cannot blame her -- because when she was a kid, she had a teeth that resembled a rabbit's teeth. Everyone signed "K" by her teeth. What a torture. Over the time, she transformed ... last time, I heard, she is popping several babies. C'est la vie.

Second row from the left to the right:

William: Simply an idiot guy to deal with. Perhaps the best memory of my times with William was when I decided to pull down the fire alarm in Darden Hall, William accused Branham for doing it -- I chose not to say anything about it. Brandham was furious that he was accused by William. Branham grabbed William and threw William into the wall -- created a massive hole in the wall, much to my astonishment. Needless to say, I never confessed.

Serena: Sweet gal from Petersburg -- that girl cannot fucking shut up. Always has questions to pop about anything. If the cat decide to crap on this particular plant, she'll ask why it did that! Just. Fucking. SHUT. UP. Dunno whatever happened to her -- she deserved a decent boy, I'm serious about that.

Herbert: Perhaps the most successful story associated with "heterosexual conformity" has to be this guy -- he was all onto Stephanie for years and years. Last time I heard, he married and owned her.

Woodson: Just another idiot that cannot really sign effectively -- which is tragedy by itself. Case closed.

Jia: My classmate of 7 years, my lone rivalry over the years -- went to Gallaudet with me. Graduated before I did. Last time, I heard, lived in Los Angeles but someone said he's back in Virginia. I'm not sure any longer. We had our ups and downs throughout the years at VSDB. Too bad, we were, perhaps, the only ones that could stimulate each other throughout the years at VSDB.

What about me? You read my blog. I'm going through some parenthesis. Some change, I reckon. On another hand, I'd love to escort Anna Nicole Smith to the Class Reunion if there is one.

I hate to admit that I may be the only guy in the group that looked "hot" in some ways. Oy vey!

Mom and Dad told me that VSDB had some sort of reunion gathering for all classes last weekend, nearly 400 people showed up. Nice, nice. I guess next year, I gotta show up -- I'd love to bring Joe Blevins or Anna Nicole Smith to be my escort to these reunions.

AT least, I have a year to work out somehow a plan. Any ideas?

Hawai'i & Autism

As Usual, Demmonds Is An Idiot: Michael Demmonds was alarmed to learn that Hawai'i is pushing for an exclusive government for its original inhabitants other than caucasians, which the Akaka Bill can help the Hawai'ian Islands to secede from the United States if they wanted to without firing a shot.

The Americans came to Hawai'ian islands and overthrew Queen Liliuokalani and stripped her of her monarchy duties, oppressed the Hawai'ians Natives for years. IN addition, the Americans also seized the property of Pearl Harbor for the United States to occupy and provide the means for the whites to suppress the Natives.

It was mentioned in many books and yes, in one show on PBS a while ago which I mentioned about 4 months ago.

For years, the Hawai'ians Natives were relegated to second-class citizens while the Americans stole the businesses with the help of American Armed Forces sitting in Pearl Harbor. In fact, it was proven that the US Armed Forces refused to work with the Natives for any businesses, only with the Caucasians (which the Natives called Haoles) for decades.

And today, Hawaii is pushing for the Akaka Bill that will "sanction the creation of a racially exclusive government by and for Native Hawaiians who satisfy a blood test."

It is about time that the islands returned to their rule, not the ones that stole the islands from its Natives.

The former Senators from Washington and Colorado claimed that the "steal" of islands from the Natives were falsely accused. But the problem is that it was already proven many times in the past. They wrote:

The U.S. Constitution scrupulously protects the liberties and freedom of Native Hawaiians. It always will. Native Hawaiians have never been treated as less than equal by the U.S. Their economic success matches that of non-Native Hawaiians. Intermarriage is the norm. Sen. Inouye himself boasted in 1994 that Hawaii was "one of the greatest examples of a multiethnic society living in relative peace." In other words, e pluribus unum is a formula that works. We should not destroy it.

That is the problem. They assumed that the Constitution actually protected the Natives. Actually between 1893 to 1950s, the Natives were largely outcasted as second class citizens and abused by the sailors, caucasians and people who claimed to do good for them. Yes, today, it is multiethnic society but do you keep the stolen goods? No, you do not. You return it. Hawai'ian islands were *stolen* from the Natives by the Americans. The right thing is to give it back and let the Natives decide whether to remain with the United States or not. It is their legitimate right.

Shame On Loews Cineplex! In Wallkill, New York -- a 7 years old autistic kid had a good time watching the movie, March of the Penguins. The manager of the theater felt that the kid laughed too loud for the movie and had the kid removed from the theater! How great is it? Typical hearie dumbfuck. Another reason to wipe 'em out as deserved.

Update: Beth was furious about this and mentioned that we should call and lambast them for doing this to the kid. I thought she was right so I decided to make a videophone call to the Manager of Loews Theater at Galleria in Crystal Run and gave him the piece of my mind. I said, "Is this the manager?"

The person nodded. I fired back, "I am calling to let you know that I am displeased to learn about your actions with the 7 years old who is autistic -- as Deaf person, I find your actions deplorable and shameful. You should be ashamed of yourself for doing that to a kid who clearly enjoyed the movie. I hope you'll be fired eventually."

Suffice to say, the manager was speechless as I hung up on him. Let's call and maul them out for doing this -- here is the number: 845-695-1724

Best Advertisement for Madrid's WFD 2007 Conference!

This is magnificent.

The advertisement from the Confederación Estatal de Personas Sordas (CNSE) for the bid to host the World Federation of the Deaf Congress in Madrid, Spain in 2007 was simply mind-blowing one. The CNSE in Spain is the same concept of what we have in our country for National Association of the Deaf (NAD).

However, I received an email from Dylan who tends to send me junk emails of sorts from time to time. Not that I complain, though. Then I saw this. I was impressed. I then forwarded it to Sarah and Philip, both were impressed. If both are impressed, it is time to share this with the world as well.

IN a way, I am hoping that hearing people, by reading my blog, will realize that anything is possible, even with computer animation.

Before some people exclaimed that the signs are not American Sign Language -- of course, it is not. Since it is related to the World Federation of the Deaf Congress which attracted the cooperation of many countries' national associations of the Deaf in terms of human rights, it must provide the basic but yet equal signs that can be understood by many peers, if not all, thus that is where the universal signs come in.

Here is the instruction to check the fantastic film, click this link. It will lead you into rapidshare webhosting website, scroll down until you see the Select your download: -- of course, we are that cheap -- so click "free".

Then wait until it tells you to go ahead. Check this out. My salute to CNSE for the outstanding advertisement for the WFD.

Of course, I'm tempted to head eastward to Madrid for WFD 2007. How can one not be tempted after seeing this stuff? Well done, Deaf Spaniards!

Hat Tip to Magatsu and Philip for the help to find the webhosting for this advertisement. Without his help, this will not be possible.

Update: I got an email from someone who is involved with WFD who was delighted to see that I mentioned about this -- he provided me the simple link to the advertisement on their website -- less complicated, though.

Age Does Not Matter ... Or Does It?

Kevin McCaul's entry caught my attention and I had to talk about this -- in United Kingdom, a 31 years old man married 70 years old woman. And both are Deaf. The article can be found in this website, hat tip to Kevin McCaul.

Come to think of this, I once played with a guy who was 66 years old. I'm telling you, he surely can dominate me in bed. I was stunned at the ferocity of his enthusiasm. I was whimpering as he totally chewed me in and out.

You know the cliche -- when you get older, you gain more experiences. This certainly applied to me when I had an one-night stand with the theater manager in New York two years ago.

Judging the small picture, the lady does not have a sagging face like Jane Norman -- praise to the Lord! I can imagine what she might look like when you slip under her face -- all of her face sagged off her face. Not all 70 years old women are like that, though.

Of course I digress merely to gross you out with the vivid imagination of what it is like to be under Jane. And the worst part is that she is not even 70.

Maybe it is love. Maybe it is maternal love. Maybe it is ... money as usual? Just like Anna Nicole Smith and her deceased 91 years old husband. Hell, if Anna Nicole Smith can do it, so can Edna Townsend.

Double cheers to Edna Townsend and Simon Martin!

Deaf Does Porn? Actually, no. You can tell that it was ASL students -- decidedly awful at what they do. But nevertheless, when you enter the website, look for preview. It is not WORK SAFE!

When a friend showed it to me, I had to take a timeout because I cannot stop laughing my head off.

Few Things About Sho Stern

Some of you may know that Sho Stern, a certain fellow that I hung out at Gallaudet at times, who has appeared in several shows such as Off Centre, The Division, Boston Public, Providence, Justice, Threat Matrix and The Last Shot.

Currently, she is slated to star in Showtime's newest provocative TV drama called WEEDS where she will play as a deaf girlfriend to someone else.

Carrie IMmed me to check this out -- I squealed when I saw this -- I do not like it. I think it is disgusting. Hahaha. Enjoy.

No. 1 In Deaf Culture Category

Of Course I am No. 1! I stumbled upon this QuackTrack website, the world's largest browsable blog index, and discovered that I'm ranked No. 1 in Deaf Culture's category. Among the list included No. 11 goes to Beth's HearingPeopleSuck.blogspot.com. Interesting stuff!

iRage In Richmond: Good thing Mom did not select to go because she would be trampled and more after viewing the pictures on Timesdispatch.com and Nbc12.com -- what a drama for a piece of trash. Merritt said to me via the videophone, "Did you notice something? Only minority groups and trailer trash folks came for it."

I grinned and said, "But of course!"

Just saw that Matt Drudge also reported about the iRage Drama today on its website.

Did You Ever Watch Beautiful Thing? For more than 10th time in my lifetime, I get to watch Beautiful Thing, a British film about two gay teenagers who fell in love with each other and remarkably ended the film on a positive note, which is very rare to say at least. Who cannot love Leah, Ste and Jamie's gorgeous African American dropout neighbor?

I love when the mother muttered to Jamie, "All the time I tried to protect you from things like this and I did not know that you and Ste were doing seventy minus one in the bedroom!" Priceless.

It was always nice to watch this film because frankly, I'm sick of watching gay films that often ended with deaths, be it from HIV/AIDS, suicide or gay-bashing. If you hadn't seen this British film, it is great. I get to figure out the UK's slangs like slag, pissed, flat (duh!), slapper ... it is great stuff to watch.

Speaking of Gay Films: Perhaps the most daring film of 2005 has to be yet-to-be-released called Brokeback Mountain, a love story between two cowboys in Wyoming ranch set in 1963. Perhaps the best part of the whole thing is that it is produced by Ang Lee, and the two gay cowboys will be performed by Heath Ledger (!!) and Jake Gyllenhaal (?!).

According to the information that streamed out of this production is that Heath and Jake did engage in several steamy scenes (!!). According to some information, it is marketed towards women (which is why they hired Heath and Jake to woo women) and gays to see the film.

This is the film I will hope to be captioned or I'll be so pissed off. I have no innovative to be patient for months! I want to spring a boner in the movie theater! I want to slip my arm around the shoulders of Stupid Hearie in a movie theater, not at home.

Truer Words Were Never Spoken!: I found this on DeafScribe. So very true.

Another Day With Dealing Crap

Today I got an IM from Ted Sims, an obvious idiot fella from Jacksonville, IL who was upset about the posting that I made in 2004 which a friend from Illinois passed it to me to warn others of Ted's illicit behavior.

Ted attempted to intimidate me via the IM which I think is hysterical at times.

Enjoy!

This, That & There

Kurzetard Still Malicious: Ever notice that Kurzetard gets the kick out of making bogus comments on ratemy########.com just to defame others' professionalism at times without leaving her name? Grow up a spine and get a life, bitch.

$50 iBook = Chaos! Mom attempted to go to the Richmond International Raceway to buy one iBook for me but she backed out after seeing the Breaking News on local channels that there were thousands of people waiting for 1,100 iBooks since 1:30 AM, parked outside of the Raceway. According to the reports, more than 12,000 converged and the stampede was on -- suddenly, 6 people were injured. Mom, not in her best health, is in no condition to compete with these folks who probably had a run at Pamplona Bull Run at all.

$67.10 -- Only $32.90 To Go! As expected, with Cindy Sheehan's vigil at Crawford Ranch, which GW Bush regarded it as a threat to its national security has caused the gas prices to climb for the last two weeks. Only $32.90 left to reach the ultimate $100 a barrel, it may sound impossible a while ago but not today, it can happen one way or other. About Cindy thing, of course, I'm joking if you do not get the gist of it.

On another note, a certain fellow gave me his answer when I asked him what he thinks of gas prices climbing up these days? His answer was, "Good! They gotta pay high to pollute the environment." Come to think of it over the time, I am inclined to agree with Jon.

We cannot stop polluting Gaea but we can simply reduce polluting the world.

Conservative Republicans Showing Its Ugly Heads: In Crawford, Texas -- GW Bush is steadfastly resisting the popularity of Cindy Sheehan despite the repeated assaults by Conservative & Republican bloggers who regarded Sheehan's antics as the ultimate that could decimate GW Bush's "noble (gagging) intentions" about the wars.

If he truly wanted to sacrifice something, send his fucking slutty daughters, Barbara and Jenna Bush to Iraq and pull their legs up in the air and start a business somehow! On second thought, throw in GW Bush's Momma as well because some brave soldiers has a fetish for old, sagging breasts and vagina to hump.

It was reported that a neighbor of GW Bush, probably his conservative friend plowed and destroyed nearly 1,000 white crosses that were laid by Sheehan in memory of the soldiers who died for nothing in Iraq.

Many people claimed that we fought for their freedoms. That was not the original intention, folks. We went there not to free them. We went there to stop Saddam because our government claimed that he has weapons of mass destruction. Do not try to change the topics.

Filthy Conservative & Lyin' Republican Bloggers are amazing -- they seemed to find ways to add the stories to make the fight for Iraq as a noble duty to be proud of -- to provide freedoms for others.

If that is the case, let's free Tibet of China's controls, let's free Zimbabwe of Mugabe's controls, let's free North Korea of Kim Jong IL, let's free Maynmar of militaristic dictatorships. Their arguments are not valid, folks. If these bloggers are proud of this, then by God, go and fight. Quit blogging -- go to Iraq and write us a letter, honey. Of course, they will lie their way around. As usual.

The whole point is that ... if they want to promote democracy and freedom, send their own kids. Don't use poor people's children. Quit advertising in housing projects, quit preying on poor college students ... these are not simply right.

Michael Lucas & Cliff Rhodes: Soon, I have to buy some of them. Cliff is a "friend-blogger" whom I talked to several times via the emails. Now he's a porn star. It is bit weird for my taste -- but at the age of 50, he's hot. And Michael Lucas is very popular figure in New York. I heard, heard, heard and heard about him. But I'm not crazy about his speciality but from what I learned, it has evolved into butch men which caught my eye. So naturally, I'm going to check Derrick Hanson out. My god, I'm talking about the names of porn stars, for God's sake. I used not to care about the names as long as it does the trick for me. But now, I just mentioned the names that I wanted to check out. God, must be my age or something.

The Roast of PamL.A. Last Sunday night, I got to watch ComedyCentral's Roast of Pamela Lee Anderson. It was amazingly good. I laughed, laughed and laughed until the end. I was surprised that Bea Arthur, who portrayed as Dorothy Zbornak on The Golden Girls, is close friends with PamLA. Naturally, the jokes often revolved around PamLA's boobs, her sex videos with Tommy Lee which Bea Arthur joked, "That thing has an elbow, Tommy Lee!" And Tommy Lee was a good sport -- he even grabbed Andy Dick's cock when he baited him to coop a feel. Tommy is hot. PamLA was simply gorgeous.

Lisa Lampanelli was correct that PamLA was the responsible for the successes of Baywatch TV series -- it was not David Hasselhoff. It was PamLA's boobs, simply put, she exclaimed.

I felt bad for Courtney Love as Jimmy Kimmel goes on to bombard her with crude jokes about her drug addiction -- but Courtney Love took it in good stride. Pretty impressive. I'd go flip out just like that.

There are several encores of that show on ComedyCentral, try to see it for yourself.

God Hates Boy Scouts & Others

Remember God Killing Boy Scouts? Here is a great article by Karel of Advocate.com -- Perhaps, it will send some kind of message -- where nothing happened in Chelsea, Castro, WeHo, Dupont Circle and Boystown while there are many happenstances in other places.

Heterosexual Bachelor Of The Year: Obviously, this is sick guy.

Time To Buy JSA #79! Dylan forwarded me the message and of course, I'm so thrilled -- read the message:

A DAY OF VENGEANCE tie-in! Amid the ruins of Dr. Fate's tower, one half of the JSA fight for their lives against Mordru, free from his imprisonment in the Rock of Eternity. Meanwhile, the rest of the JSA battle to save the Fifth Dimension from the iron grip of...Jakeem Thunder!

As you can see, Mordru rocks!

Whoa! Take It Easy, Skippy! When I got home from The Lark, the oldest gay bar in the state of Pennsylvania, my shirt and flip-flop shoes were hidden away by Skippy, my roommate's dog, mainly because he was mad at me for leaving him home. Gus smiled and said, "About time, he is doing this to your stuff, not to my stuff!" AT that moment, I really want Lambykins' gorgeous cat's offspring so that it can attack the dogs for me. I so want one, Jason. Okay?

Todd Bertuzzi Deserved Second Chance? Fuck you, Todd. You do not deserve a second chance if Steve Moore cannot play at all. Let me whack your spine out and I'll give you a chance to redeem yourself, you dumbfuck. Stop using the media to ask for "forgiveness" and a second chance to prove yourself -- I hope Steve Moore will sue you to mlik your money 'til you disappear off the planet. What an asshole!

God, Please Terminate Larry King! I cannot stand Larry King! I hate "Larry King Live"! No captions! This show has to get with the program. It is tragic that the popular show on CNN is not even captioned.

Natalee Holloway Over-Exposed by FOX NEWS: According to the statistics, CNN mentioned Natalee 75 times, MSNBC 145 and FOX NEWS 434 times! Goes on to tell you something -- if it was a black woman who got lost, FOX NEWS ignored her. But if she is white, pretty cheerleader -- like any Republican, FOX NEWS is onto her.

To Ponder Your Own Thoughts

Remember The BlackList Interpreters? After some heavy thoughts about it, I have decided to go ahead with this. After consulting with several professional interpreters and professional advocators who complained that the interpreters, indeed, has their own list which they used to deny the ASL transliterators from getting the jobs as deserved. And that many interpreters pulled each other in order to get the jobs they wanted for more money.

NO, I will not put the names of interpreters on the blacklist just because s/he is not pretty, or anything very silly. It has to do with how they handle the job in a professional manner. For instance, some interpreters cannot read fingerspelling at a persistent rate. Some interpreters simply cannot sign well. Some interpreters refused to sign offensive words just because they do not like it and did not want to interpret these words. Some interpreters attempted to take over the conversation and manhandle the whole thing. These stuff do happen all the time, some interpreters argued that RID has its rules but do they enforce? They can demote their certificates and all that crap, but not many organizations, agencies and or businesses would care because they are concerned about hiring the cheap interpreters.

These stuff has to stop somewhere else.

Ben Moore has developed a website where you can rate the interpreters -- aww. That is nice. But we need to have a formidable reputation that can shatter one's illusions of getting away with everything. Hence, the Blacklisted Interpreters will start as soon as can be. I have several persons ready to compile the names and information in major cities such as Washington, Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Los Angeles, and the Bay Area.

Your Own Interpretation: Of course, there are people that annoyed me to no end. Some people managed to attack me by creating bogus blogs, using the anonymous names to berate me, creating false stories just to derail who I am. If they truly have a problem -- I dare them to face me in person. Of course, they won't. Because they knew I'd bury them just easy as committing a sin. For people who are bitter about me, these are for you -- enjoy!




The panels were written by Keith Giffen and artwork by Esteban Maroto -- great stuff to be made.

My detractors, face me and eat shit.

To Amuse Y'All Part 2

I had been travelling to many states, I crossed the country back and forth twice. Where do I think has the intersection that impressed the heck out of me when I first saw it? It has to be biggest, wildest and tallest intersection -- you swear that they probably built these for no particular reason other than to make it convenient for the drivers to go around.

The best intersection, in my opinion, goes to the Interstate 105 & 110 in Los Angeles. When I first saw it, I was horrified at the magnitude of that intersection. One leg of the intersection goes as high as ten stories high! IN fact, when I realized that the exit I had to use goes on that leg and I drove on the overpass, I breathed and thought, "What if the earthquake occurs right now, will I be tossed over the overpass bridge?"

But I found out that in California, they designed one-leg per platform for the bridge to allow it to swing back and forth without causing the damages. But I wonder whether if it will also prevent the speeding cars from flipping over the overpass bridges as well? Naturally, I slowed down and became intrigued with the mess of overpasses -- it is easy to take a wrong one and you're done deal. See you in San Diego or in Riverside, really!

Here is the picture of the best intersection I ever had saw in my lifetime! Dig it for yourelf. Boucher and Silas, agree with this?

8.13.05 Tidbits

Waterfall Discovered: In Whiskeytown National Recreation Area in Northern California just around Mt. Shasta, the park officials discovered the hidden waterfalls which managed to avoid the detection of NPS for 40 years. Nice to know that there are stuff like this out there.

Bitch Session: Guys and gals, from now on, I'll screen the emails. You have to make comments that appears to be funny, satirical and either, offensive and compliment. You just cannot be just offenisve or insulting. You may coax something funny to shoot others down. Don't be malicious. Some readers wanted to read and say, "85! 85! 85!" -- you know in ASL, when you read something surprising or shocking, you say "85" right next to your forehead. Hat tip to Rayni for the use of "85" term.

There Is A Place Called Temple: Yesterday, I went to Temple University in Philadelphia to meet with a certain fellow whom I had not seen in years. It was nice to see PJ once again. Basically, he filled me what I needed to do in order to get my dream up and running.

Temple University is an urban university, just like Southern Cal and Gallaudet -- you know the classic boxed-in campus with a fence between the campus and the urban area. IN fact, Temple is beautiful. The Liacouras Center is beautiful gymnasium. That is where Dawn Staley gets to coach her teams. You can see the picture of Dawn dribbling on my picture list on your right -- the one with VIRGINIA uniform. Dawn Staley is the legendary figure in Virginia and most loved figure in Philadelphia. There is seven-story mural of Dawn Staley on 8th Street and Market Street. I have to go there to get the picture of that.

Suffice to say, there may be new developments with me in time which I do not want to address -- if things go well, I would DIE for a chance to work, study and learn from Dawn!

Married Woman Hits On Me: Last night, I stopped by Frank's Pub for one drink. There was this woman in her late 40s or early 50s, she attempted to talk with me while I was playing a video game. She said that there is a guy stalking her. She wanted me to act like she's my girl. I froze.

Then sure enough, the guy left the bar. I was relieved. AS I was ready to go home, she offered me a ride home. I declined because I knew she wanted something more than that. She asked me to walk down to her car just to make sure that there is no particular man waiting to hit on her. I nodded, because it is the right thing to do. She told me that she's married. O-kay. Sure enough, there was this guy who wanted her, he was waiting for her outside. But nothing happened, I guess, because I was there. Then I bid her good bye. She pulled me against her and kissed me. I was thinking, "This is getting weird."

I pulled off and said good bye. I turned and walked home in a record time. Unbelieveable.

Earth.Google.Com Is Amazing: I heard about it a while ago, then Burke showed it to me. I was impressed. It is difficult to explain how it works. Then for a while, I kinda forgot about it until Cucci from Los Angeles mentioned about it -- I went back to that site and downloaded it so that I can drool at how it works. Trust me, it is amazing. Check it out.

75K Done, Up Next is 100K!

75,000 Has Been Crossed: Sometimes last night at 1:30 AM, someone in Montreal, Quebec visited the blog and became the 75,000th victim since mid-September. I started to blog in September, 2003 but did not add the site meter until last year. At first, it was slow -- but now it is averaging 2,500 visits and 5,600 views per week. Not bad, though.

Carrie Has Vanished! Last week, I finally got in touch with Carrie who told me that she has been vacationing in Maui. Maui?! Yep, that Hawai'ian island. Carrie, I'm still waiting for these X-Mas pictures that you took when you were here with me and Perlis!

Dan Savage: I forgot to mention that Andrew Sullivan, the conservative Republican HIV+ barebacker out of Provincetown who always asked people to donate money on his blog, has invited Dan Savage to pen in for his blogsite this week. This is remarkable because Andrew is conservative Republican, Dan Savage is liberal as things come by. Dan Savage is famous for issuing advices related to sex issues. I read his sex articles because it is funny, educational and yes, I learned some stuff out of it. Now Andrew's blog is more lively and funny, which I cannot say the same thing for Andrew Sullivan himself.

Dave Chappelle Rocks: Last night, I could not stop laughing. You know how they say, laughter is the best medication. Dave may be the funniest comedian I had seen in years. I understand why he signed with ComedyCentral channel for some millions of dollars to continue his comedical career. If you did not get to see it, try it. You'll be pleased with how he says things about ourselves -- unless you're a prick and cannot read the captions very well, then don't bother to watch.

Scott Harper Is Village Idiot But ... Scott Harper, 18, is termed as the village idiot when he decided to jump off the upper section of Yankees Stadium and landed on the net which I reported few days ago. Well, there is a picture of him up close -- he's cute. Dreamy but too young. He's the type that I see at The Cock Bar which I can loiter, fuck and dump just like that. *growl*

Which One Are You? Blanche Devereaux, Rose Nylund, Sophia Castillo or Dorothy Zbornak? I'm the classic fag. Any fag loves this show. Sitting in the kitchen at 4 AM with close friends and eating cheesecake, talking about their lives -- listening to Rose's St. Olaf stories, what more do you want? I can relate to Sophia -- her dry, abrasive and blunt sense of humor is duly noted and very familiar with me. In fact, I can watch her and expect her to say something else to subdue everyone else in the room.

Malkin, Drudge, LGF and RWR: When Cindy Sheehan asked for GW Bush to come out of his reclusive Crawford Ranch for few minutes of talk, to have the normal conversation. Show some compassion for the mother of a dead soldier. After all, he is on his 50th vacation in 5 years (10 per years!), he said he wanted a vacation to "reconnect with his folks in Texas" -- this is his chance to be normal and be civilized. Apparently, no. GW Bush dispatched his supporters like Matt "Roehmosexual" Drudge, Michelle "Chink Bitch" Malkin, Little Green Snotballs, that nobody's prick, Rhymes with Right to assault the mother of a dead soldier of her simple request to meet and talk with GW Bush on a casual level.

It is interesting to note that these people did not mention that the secret service agents made an indirect threat that they will arrest the mother because she is the "threat to the national security". Wow, GW Bush is the national figure? Please!

That Roehmosexual, Matt Drudge did this on persistent level, obviously because he regarded her as an annoyance that can bring the downfall of GW Bush's popularity. His current polls are at an all-time low, which is good for me.

That "Chink Bitch" Malkin had the guts to speak for Casey Sheehan, Cindy's dead son -- she said that Casey would be embarrassed of his mother. Excuse me, Michelle, you do not know Casey like Cindy does -- you just write and spew your fucking dumb-ass rhetoric, claiming to speak for people who has nothing to do with you!

As for RWR, he is just an idiot from Texas. Simply put. He claimed that GW Bush did meet Cindy last year. Yes, in front of media! In front of hundreds of persons, but not one on one. Compassion! Compassion! Franklin Delano Roosevelt did it. Abraham Lincoln did it. JFK did it. Bill Clinton attended the dead soldiers' funerals. Did GW Bush? No. GW Bush joked by calling Cindy, "Mom" and even asked his assistant, "Who are they?" -- implied that GW Bush is a buffoon and do not care at all.

GW Bush and his Republican cronies knew the art of media, thanks to the Nixon debacle, to use against the mass. How? To pretend. To stand and pose for 5 minutes so that the pictures can be taken, then when it's over, the families are out due to the "national security". No time for a normal conversation between a true citizen and the nation's President. But he has time to have 50 vacations in 5 years. No conservatives and Republicans will disseminate why GW Bush has 50 vacations in 5 years, but they are willing to destroy the grieving mother of a dead soldier.

How great is it?

Yeah, I Used Craigslist To Score -- Is That Your Problem?

Boohoo! Another idiotic posting by someone else who tried to embarrass me that I used craigslist.org for quick fuck sessions.

The problem is that I already mentioned a long time ago that I used the craigslist.org to play with men because I wanted to. It is convenient. It is quick. It is simple. It is fun. So sue me. Why do you think Craigslist.org is popular these days? It is because people use it as the means to meet, buy and yes, fuck each other.

In fact, several of my friends knew that I routinely post up the advertisements once in a while just to score some fun. I'm not holy man. I am a man with cock. I have the needs. Just ask Char, Sarah, Carrie, Perlis, Beth, Merritt and many more.

This is not a secret that I am ashamed of. In fact, I'm very casual about it. I even told my fraternity brothers about it. I even told close friends about it. It is no big deal, though.

Yes, I did post this up when I was in DC. Why? Because I can. No, if you read carefully, I specifically asked for fuck sessions, not to look for "love". Just to fuck like rabbits.

Here is the posting that someone tried to blackmail me:

Visiting DC -- Husky, Hairy Horny Guy - 31
Reply to: anon-86363502@craigslist.org

I'm 31. i'm not VGL, br/hzl, goatee, husky, hairy, nice cock (I fucked professional hockey player four times!) -- do not measure my cock, you do it yourself -- I fuck you, you suck me. WE grind.

I'm not A&F, pretty boy, boi or twink -- I'm just avg who can fuck.

If you can't, you know the drill.


* this is in or around NE - Gallaudet

And guess what? I fucked three guys through that posting. Very convenient and easy to score. Ain't life great? You should try it sometimes, it is a way to release your stress. That person who hides behind the screen trying to defame my character is bitter, sad -- s/he needs a fuck or two. And yes, it is true that I fucked this hockey player. Of course, I am not at liberty to identify who's who. Hahahaha!

One Step At A Time

It is no secret that many people either loathed or loved me. It is no secret that my blog is perhaps the most watched closely by the ones that loathed me more than the ones that loved me. Why? Perhaps they are intrigued to see what I think, say or deal with things. Perhaps they fail to comprehend what it is like to be me.

Like I cannot comprehend what it is like to be you or someone else. I can comprehend what it is like to be myself. Too bad, English language is not enough for me to express what it is like to be me. Conversely, ASL is not enough as well.

Some thinks that I'm malicious. That is fine with me. Of course, at times, I get annoyed with that perception when people exaggerated and repeated this not for months, but for years! Yes, I have strong opinion, so do you. Or you should be.

It is always blessing to have close friends who endured and weathered through the turbulent moments with me to a point where they now can say, "Oh, that is RT, I'm not worried about it."

There was three or four circles of friends in my lifetime -- perhaps the most eccentric group of all has to be the Legends' Gang. The Legends' Gang was coined by a stupid prick who emailed me and my friends, asking us if s/he could interview us about how they handled me! Of course, all of my friends refused. So we joked and named us the Legends' Gang. Among who's who are:

*drumroll*

Rosalie Harris of Arkansas (now Texas), David Spillers of Arkansas (now Tennessee), Keith Clark of North Carolina, Rico Cokart of The Netherlands, Berna Marthinussen of Norway, Erin Wilkinson of Kansas (now New Mexico), Nina Beems of Arizona and Silas Wagner of Arkansas (now California).

It would not surprise that you would recall seeing us chatting with each other at IHOP or Denny's Restaurant at 4 AM in the morning on a schoolday. Or even saw David pulling Berna's pants down at SoHo for the world to see. Or us arguing with the cops on the top level of parking lot at Stratosphere Tower in Las Vegas. Or just sitting in Gallaudet cafeteria talking for 3 hours in the same table. Or me trying to help David vomit the damned thing out at KonTiki Bar in Tucson, Arizona while everyone was too fucked up to take care of themselves. Or me arguing with a cop in DC while 9 of us were crammed in my tiny Ford Escort SE.

One time, we decided to head down to my parents' home for Labor Day Weekend, I knew my parents will say "No!" if I mentioned that 9 of us will come down for the weekend. So I said "4" but told the gang to come along. Two cars carried 9 of us to my parents' home. Suffice to say, Mom could not say "No!" in front of us. To make things fun, Berna, Keith, Rosalie, Nina, Silas along with a friend from Italy never experienced a hurricane or tropical storm before in their lives -- there was a tropical storm rolling in our neighborhood on a Saturday as we went to the water amusement park called Water Country USA in Williamsburg -- less than 10 people came to the park as it rained all day long. Of course, it is water amusement park -- so fucking what?! Water is water, period.

We had a blast time. The worst part is when we went back home for the night, we could feel the rains pelting my head all night long. It was worse than the Chinese water torture! When we went back to Gallaudet campus, many of my friends bragged that they swam while the tropical storm bulldozed around the neighborhoods -- in fact, it was reported that about 5 miles east of the water amusement park, a tornado touched down and obliterated an apartment building.

Europeans never experienced a tropical storm simply because it does not go their way, though. So when Berna and Danielle went back to Europe, they boasted that they weathered a tropical storm at the water amusement park -- let's say, the Europeans were amazed at their guts.

These friends got to know me extremely well to a point where they just nodded and rolled their eyes when people backstabbed or tarred my name. But not Keith, he just chuckled about it then tell me later about it so that I can laugh so hard about it.

Of course, I have many friends that I could list. Beth and I had several amazing stories about this, that and there. Manny and Merritt probably has two or fifteen stories about me. Jason probably has 5 or 20. Friends are great, but there is always that "but".

But I'd like one guy to contend with. I'd like a partner. I'm 31. Everyone has so much to offer for someone to share with. It is human nature to be like that. I want one as well. I want to confide in one person, I want to tell him what I think, feel or whatsoever is on my mind. Of course, I am complicated as things goes. It takes one to know me. Nobody can know me overnight -- I'm sure my friends would vouch that for me as well.

To make things worse, it is not easy to date a hearing person. Especially gay hearing man. They seemed to shut down themselves when they perceived me to be "complicated". Ahh. As for Deaf gay men, not many are my type -- that is OK with me but hey, how can you determine that I'm not for you if you do not know me well?

When I see this image of Wally telling his girlfriend, "...one step at a time." -- it strikes a chord with me. In this image (click on the image for a close-up of the image to read the dialogue), Wally West is well-known as Flash, the comic book character, trying to grapple to deal with an ordinary woman whom he loved and wanted to share his world with her. This woman has been trying to understand what it is like to be Flash, she could not. How can Wally make her understand what it is like to be Wally? By including her in his world ... one step at a time.

Of course, I can relate to that. My life is wholly diffrent from many people, but if two feels attracted to each other, give it a shot! You simply cannot say you do not like a person in a matter of minutes or days. The person may drive you nuts at times, but try to understand their backgrounds instead of making damned assumptions of others. The world would be better if people learns to appreciate one's differences ... one step at a time.

To Legends' Gang, thanks for the memories -- let's get together as soon as can be, dahlin'! What about Austin, Texas for New Years Eve 2006 at Roz's place?

Cheers,

Courtesy of Lambykins, Vlog Has Arrived

O what can I say about Jason Lamberton?

We have different sets of beliefs but we are good friends, often joked about things in life. Thanks to a certain girl who coined "Lambykins" for Jon and Jason, it has been stuck with them for some years. Too bad some people out there are not flexible like Jason to deal with me. I'm pretty flexible as things go by but I stick with my ideological beliefs, same thing goes for Jason.

Jason told me that he has been working on this experiment that could change the face of Deaf Blogosphere, never mind the hearie ones, in the immediate future. Blog? No more blog -- enter the vlog -- the Video-log. Why? Because Jason has a point, not many Deaf people liked to read, they liked to watch one talk in American Sign Language. Hence, the video-log.

Jason, today, unveiled perhaps the world's first but certainly not the last vlog. Check this out.

What do I think of it? More power to him. I like to write. I do not think I'll look good on videos, anyway. It is difficult to explain my thoughts in ASL sometimes, sometimes it's difficult to explain things in English, too. But never say never -- I might experiment it when I visit Jason to give it a shot.

Meanwhile, enjoy his vlog. Way to go, Jason.

I must chuckle when Jason attempted to say vlog at first but said b--vlog. Bad habits die hard. What he said about that old arena, I agreed completely!

Dead, Dead and Lucky To Be Alive!

Died Of Exhaustion! In Seoul, South Korea, the 28 years old guy died of exhaustion after playing 49 consecutive hours on the computer game, Starcraft.

Died of Cheerleading Stunt: In Medford, Massachusetts, the 14 years old gal died at the cheerleading practice. She did not break her neck or a leg, just landed chest down on her teammates' arms. Then somehow it got worsened. Dead.

It All Starts With A Dare: 18 years old Scott Harper in Westchester, New York, just outside of New York City, heard the chants in upper section 603: "Stay or jump! Stay or jump! Stay or jump!" Scott decided to jump off the upper section of Yankee Stadium and landed on the safety net which caused more than 50,000 fans to roar with laughter. Apparently, the game was boring, which Char's beloved Yankees lost 2-1 to Chicago White Sox, to a point where Scott Harper decided to enlighten up the mood. Even George Steinbrenner, the owner of Yankees, muttered, "“That was the only exciting thing that happened today,” referring to the stunt that Scott Harper did.

Somebody Get Him OFF My TV Set!

At first, I thought it was Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA) promoting his book. Honest, I did. But it was not Rick Santorum, it was Kevin Trudeau. It is annoying to click on another channels only to find him talking after the other.

I checked the information and learned that he was banned from appearing on infomercials starting in September, 2004. But he is still around on these informercials.

Kevin and Rick do look alike at first glance. But over the time, you say, "Oh, crap!"

Kevin, get off the TV already.

Few Tidbits and QueerAsFolk!

Another Proof Of Xian Extremists: It happened in the heartland of America -- in Westmont, Illinois. The Xian Extremists do not kill, they torture by harassing others if they do not comply their wishes. Check this out for the proof.

A Soldier Wants To Beat Up On Coward GW Bush! This is interesting stuff. The question is, will this guy be charged for treason against the country for making a threat like that? Probably.

Queer As Folk No More: Several of my straight friends enjoyed watching the soap opera of Queer As Folk where we get to watch Pittsburgh's own Brian Kinney fucking everyone else out of their brains meanwhile we get to love Brian's best friend, Michael Novotny for his laid-back and dreamy attitude. Then we get to wish that our mothers are like Michael's mother, Debbie Novotny. And who does not have a feminine faggot to hound the gang well as can be like Emmett Honeycutt? Of course, there is always this wallpaper guy that feels inferior when he goes to gay bars/clubs in Ted Schmidt.

This drama for Cable TV on Showtime is largely successful. In fact, Showtime said that the ratings showed that the most viewers are heterosexual women who drooled after few characters on QAF. Of course, the heterosexual men who liked heterosexual women had to watch it and ended up being hooked to the drama on that show.

In fact, nearly all of my straight friends already saw at least ONE episode of QAF. I knew of a heterosexual man who purchased *all* seasons of QAF and is enthusiastic about getting the final season.

It was supposed to end after four seasons, but the show was so successful that they extended it for one more year as well as including Rosie O'Donnell to perform in the show.

Last Sunday marked the finale show of QAF on Showtime. Some said it was so-so finale. I'll wait for my heterosexual friend to get the finale season of QAF on DVD and start watching. Know why?

It seemed to me that QAF seems to have bad captions when it is on Showtime Channel, often comes up with jumbled words that I could not decipher. Maybe the Al-Qaeda folks has better way to decode the messages? I have no innovation to be patient with these jumbled captions at all. That's why I rather to wait for the complete sets of QAF DVD seasons.

What do I think of the show? In general, nothing that they did surprise me. What you saw on it, I already go through that. Some as a participant, some as a spectator. 'Nuff said. But they got great actors in Hal Sparks, Peter Paige, Robert Gant and Sharon Gless.

Hal Sparks played as Michael Novotny who is romantic hopeless and was swept by hot, charming man in Ben Bruckner played by Robert Gant. In real life, Hal Sparks is straight single man who could do such a steamy gay sex that I had to mind-control my cock to go down. Later, Hal said that his former girlfriend told him that it'd be hot to see him doing things with guys on television. Hal went ahead. The result is that the QAF has more female straight viewers than any groups!

Debbie Novotny, portrayed by Sharon Gless, is everybody's dream to have that kind of mother. A mother who can love, support and defend you for who you are, not what you are. And be proud of it. In fact, Deb reminded me of Ricky Dockter's mother. I was blunt with him that I was envious of him after seeing his mother on the stage, boasted about his son scoring not one but two ... needless to say, Ricky was all beet red.

Emmett Honeycutt, portrayed by Peter Paige, is the kind of guy that I enjoyed associating with. Why do you think I hang out with Manny, Merritt, Toby, Mikey, Erik to name few? Because they can snap at their will and everything that straight men fought to preserve simply disintegrated.

However, Peter and I once bumped into each other right outside of DC's 30 Degree/Cobalt during the Capital Pride about five years ago. What happened was that I was on AOL Pager arguing with Mikey and Toby, trying to find where they were at that time. Apparently, Paige was talking to someone from behind as he was getting off the stairway as I was trying to reach the stairs to enter the premise, it was a fateful collison. I was jolted by that -- Peter Paige started to say, "I'm sorry!" in voice. My eyes widened and I smiled, I gestured that I'm Deaf. Peter started to sign some words, "ME SORRY, ME NAME PETER."

Really cool to know that Peter Paige can sign some words!

I smiled, "EMMETT ON QAF?"

Peter smiled its famous one for me and nodded -- it was interesting to note that he lacked the gap in his teeth like it was showed on the QAF series. I told him that I do not watch it all the time but I enjoyed his works. Needless to say, my friends rushed outside to meet Peter Paige and took a picture -- I'm sure Toby has the copy of that somewhere else.

Perhaps the most enjoyable segment of all is Emmett's affair with the hunk who played a professional football team. Man, these fuck sessions are hot. You can see the picture of Emmett wearing red tank-top shirt with this hunk. This hunk is to die for.

Perhaps it was fate that I get to visit Toronto for the first time recently where the QAF for the last 5 years has been filmed. Yes, Toronto acted as Pittsburgh on QAF for the last 5 years, especially on Church Street. It was amusing when I walked around Church Street and Yonge Street, I smiled and recalled seeing this, that and there.

It was a good run and bravo to Showtime for doing the bold thing to show the QAF as is without restraint! Of course, some gays will complain that the series is nothing but stereotypical. But who gives a fuck? It is called "entertainment", for the love of God.

Cheers,

What A World -- Woe Unto Idiots!

Johnny Knoxville Is My Type: I must admit that Johnny Knoxville turned me on. I thought it was interesting that the OUT Magazine voted him to be the Coolest Straight Guy of the Year. There is an interesting tidbit that I read in this week's New York HX Magazine tonight about Johnny Knoxville's attitude approach with gay men. It makes me want him so bad.

Not that Knoxville has to wait for another Dukes movie to get a same-sex kiss - or more. “One night I was in a bar in downtown New York,” he recalls, “and this big guy, a real personal-space invader, comes up and puts his arm around me and goes, ‘I would love to fuck your ass so much - I’m your biggest fan.’ I was like, ‘Wow, thank you!’ And he makes his arm tighter around my neck. It’s like prison. At least fondle me a little before you go straight to fucking my ass! I think he wanted me to be his bottom bitch! Splendor in the ass!”

Indeed, I would.

Oil Prices Now Close to $65, Only $35 Left To Go: I suspect the Bush Administration has been allowing the oil prices to make a lot of gains close to $65 a barrel, perhaps just to make profits. Because the numbers of administrators including GW Bush invested/owned/ran the oil companies ... when they are done with the presidency, they are going to reap the harvest that they invested in these stocks. At this pace, it won't surprise me that we will reach $70 by December due to the "winter season", then $75 due to the "thunderstorms associated with spring season", then $80 due to hurricanes and terrorist attacks, then ... Ahh, fiddle while Rome burns.

I'll Never Abandon My Stupid Hearie! This is insane. How can a husband drive 210 miles and six hours later before realizing that his wife was left at the gas service station?! This husband should expect no sex for weeks.

Gimme an I! Gimme a D! Gimme an I! ...: Ever heard of telling the girls to write it down? No, they had to chant it out loud!

This Is Cool! I just saw this on television. I could not believe it. So I went ahead and googled it -- bingo, it is there. I actually saw the session where one person led the co-workers to sit in a circle. Then start to laugh which led the others to laugh. Laughter is contagious. It even gets to a point where the person who filmed the session had to flee the group because he could not breathe -- he was laughing so hard that he cried and started to breathe hard. The whole purpose of this is to break stress in workplace settings in which it brings happiness to one's daily life. Such a brilliant idea! I'll be sure to host one for BnB Inn some day!

Thousands Attended Gunter's Funeral: Thousands of people came to pay their final respects to Sue Gunter who died of Emphysema at 66. According to this article, it was positive and lightening somber with stories to tell about Gunter's love of life. It was certainly nice to read. She will be buried in Walnut Grove, Mississippi next to her parents. One interesting tidbit about this is that Gunter specifically requested that anyone donate money go to the Alzheimers Service. Alzheimers instead of Emphysema? Because her mother was a victim of Alzheimers.

Confidential to McWeenie: I'm not impressed that you mentioned your wife has 1/32nd American Native in her. Not even the United States Government would be impressed nor cared about that, m'dear. Let me guess, your wife said that her 1/32nd is from Cherokee, like many said.

Until then, cheers!

And You Wonder Why California Tax Is High

From what I knew all along, California has one of the nation's highest tax in almost everything else. And yet, the state of California was financially in shambles.

The voters decided to get replace Gov. Davis with new Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger not a long time ago -- I really do not care about Califunny's problems, really.

What did Arnie accomplish so far? Not much, come to think of this.

You know, I saw the film recently -- one person said, "If you can't govern yourself, what makes you think you can govern the nation?"

I think this article just takes the cake.

Even My Frat Brothers Thought I Was Odd

At Gallaudet, my fraternity's famous bratwursts which was barbarically devoured by many students. It was and still is the most popular thing to eat during Homecoming Day, CobraFest, Oktoberfest and among few events, especially during or after the drinking binge.

All of my fraternity brothers devoured when they can. Except me.

I gag at the smell of bratwurst. I simply cannot bring myself to munch one. I prefer hot dogs over the bratwursts. Even some fraternity brothers threatened me that during the retreats, they'll forcefeed me. They always fail at it. I just thought it was barf thing to eat.

Even my friends criticized me -- how can I join the fraternity and not eat its fraternity trademark? So fucking what. I like my friends, I did not join up for the bratwursts!

Yes, I cooked it. I prepped the preparations for others to munch. But you will never see me eat a bratwurst. Never-r-r-rrrr!

On the same note, this 99-pound woman, Sonya Thomas, munched 35 bratwursts in 10 minutes! And to top it all, there are famine in Africa, hunger on six continents, poverty problems all over the world and we have this organization?

Sonya Thomas, at 99-pound woman, held 24 titles in different categories including Asparagus -- one thing for sure, her urine stinks!

A Minor Confession To Make

I am the child of Generation X. I may be the only Deaf person of GenX that has not visited DisneyWorld or Disneyland.

There you got it. That is the confession I am making at this point. My parents juggled with six children could not afford to take the family to DisneyWorld plus hotel, transportation and food.

We merely went to Busch Gardens' The Old Country, Paramount Kings Dominion and several Six Flags amusement parks.

My siblings, Hedy, Gary and Lily finally visited the elusive DisneyWorld while I simply never did. Even worse, nearly all of my friends went to DisneyWorld or Disneyland at one point -- you will be so Americanized if you visit at least one Disney-owned park. But I did not even to visit one.

My cousins went to DisneyWorld as well.

Chlms & Jon went to DisneyWorld with Zoe, not only that her in-laws worked at DisneyWorld. I did not even visit the place.

I had an online chat with PJ who recently went on a vacation with his daughter and wife to DisneyWorld. I still had not visited DisneyWorld!

Few friends from Florida lived near Orlando. I still had not capitalized to check out the DisneyWorld!

Even the worst part is that Manny's mother works at DisneyWorld -- Manny did not offer me the pass to get in the park! What a frugal. Haha. Actually, I'm lying -- his mother and I never met but she gave Manny a gift for me for X-Mas which is nice of her to do that.

The whole point is that ... everyone after Generation X seems to have some kind of requirements that I did not know -- you gotta visit DisneyWorld or you are not just an ordinary American. I guess that makes me non-conformist at its best, eh?

Peter Jennings 1938 - 2005 - UPDATE

When I grew up, I rarely watched the NBCNEWS and CBSNEWS mainly because they are not captioned. Peter Jennings and his ABCNEWS was the first national news that has the 30-minute captioning for Deaf people and others who needed to read in order to follow up with the current events.

By leaping the giant step in live captioning, it became a model for others to follow up the stanrdards. CNN, Headline News, FoxNews, MSNBC, CNBC, CBSNEWS and NBCNEWS plus hundreds of local TV stations are now captioned. It is not an option, it is a requirement.

Peter Jennings was heavy smoker, he died of Lung Cancer at 67.

An interesting tidbit about Peter Jennings' ABCNEWS during his tenure, Greg Hlibok, one of four Deaf President Now Movement leaders at Gallaudet, was the first Deaf person to be named on ABCNEWS' Person of the Week. If it was not for The Washington Post and the ABCNEWS, the attention that DPN Protest would not have evolve into the national spotlight.

Plus, Ted Koppel's NIGHTLINE which hosted the debate between Elisabeth Zinser, Greg Hlibok (with female voice interpreter) and Marlee Matlin (with male voice interpreter) that ended up on a sour note. During the hour-long of NIGHTLINE, Hlibok was impressive to a point where Elizabeth Zinser decided to resign, according to The Week The World Heard Gallaudet by Jack Gannon.

Either way, Peter Jennings' persistent attention to the DPN during the week of March, 1988 inadvertently helped us to achieve the goals tremendously in breaking barriers for Deaf people and other minority groups.

Not only that, I recalled seeing Peter Jennings during the Gallaudet Commencement in 1991. He was quite nice, from what I was told by others.

You know, if not for Peter Jennings and ABCNEWS' WORLD NEWS TONIGHT, my parents probably will pick up the current events only on the newspapers. I mean, they probably will not know if Los Angeles was gone in the massive quake until the next morning!

How awful is that?! With the live captions, it makes our accessibility easier and possible.

Godspeed, Peter Jennings.

UPDATE: It is tragic to demonstrate how stupid McWeenie is when he wrote on his blog about Peter Jennings, I do not want to link to that blogsite so I'm going to quote what he said:

Peter Jennings dies at age 67 in his home from lung cancer. He was an admitted smoker and smoked over 9/11.

Did 9/11 event ultimately put a path to his fateful destiny?

What?! Is this 'tard thing to say?! Peter was heavy smoker all of his adult life until 20 years ago in 1985 then he resumed again after 9/11. Lung Cancer probably was building up from the decades of heavy smoking, it was not 9/11 that did the deed, idiot! Common sense dictated that the lung cancer itself must have a long-term abuse for decades, not one day of current events that triggered his cancer!

I think it is important to remind how idiotic these wanna-be bloggers want to put stuff on the Internet!

8.7.05 Tidbits

A Friend Asked Me A Question: A friend asked me about the $7,890,477,420,684.06 deficit which the United States Government owed. In other words, it is $7.8 trillion dollars in debt that our government had on their hands. My friend asked, "To whom do we owe?" I was not sure. I checked around -- I was bit amused, 40 percent of the debt goes back to our government -- in other words, we owed it to our own government! AS for sixty percent of the debt, the foreign investors, banks, insurance companies and private entities. I'd like to know who incorporated the sixty percent of the debt. My bet is that many of them are from Saudi Arabia.

AMERICAblog's Michael of New York Got It Right: Michael wrote this entry and added that GW "Bush must be thinking, 'How Quaint!'". He is absolutely right. Yes, the UK is swift in arresting people who were suspected related to the terrorist bombings. The UK is also swift in charging them with offenses and provide the due process in timely manner. We have hundreds of suspects in our country, Cuba, Afghanistan, Iraq and many more that has been detained for years without being charged at all. By itself, the UK is more civilized and reasonable than we are. To have courage, we have to do the right thing. That is to charge the suspects with an offense and provide the due process under the law. Period.

Another Boy Scout Incident: God must have a bad bone with Boy Scouts! I just read an email from a friend of mine who forwarded the article about the Salt Lake City Boy Scout who went missing last year and presumed to be dead. The family decided to organize a search for his remains but failed to find after three days. The family decided not to do it again. Ahh, well.

SCOTUS Appointee Roberts' Adoption Background: Many Conservatives are in uproar after learning that New York Times has been looking into SCOTUS Appointee John Roberts' adoption records. John Roberts adopted two children. When I first learned of this, I thought it was no big deal. But when the Conservatives said that it is invasion of privacy, something was wrong with the picture. My guts were trying to tell me that they were full of shit. But I could not pinpoint on why my feelings did this until I read this entry by DowntownLad. Bingo! DowntownLad is absolutely correct in this manner. Not only that, there are evidence that some adoptions were done illegally, especially with the families that has money, prestige and power. I do not see any reason not to check around the adoption records.

After all, they demanded the information about President Clinton's penis during the Monica Lewinsky scandal. What is the difference in this manner? Absolutely nothing, really. Appointee John Roberts is now a public figure, subjected to deal with this. If he has nothing to hide, then he is good to go.

GW Bush, Send Your Kids To War! GW Bush claimed to feel sadness for the parents of dead soldiers. Prove it. None of his clan served in the United States Armed Forces. When a mother asked to see GW Bush in Crawford, Texas about her feelings related to the war, she was denied and kept at bay by the secret service agents. Bush's associates talked to the mother and expressed GW Bush's "sorrow". What the fuck?

Was it me who read a recent article where GW Bush said he is looking forward to go back home on a vacation and to re-connect with the folks in Texas? Oh, he meant to re-connect with HIS people?

The mother of a dead soldier claimed that the secret service agent made an indirect threat that they may be hit by the agents' cars on the highway where the mother stood outside and refused to leave until she sees GW Bush. As usual, the agents denied.

UPDATE: According to DailyKos, Cindy Sheehan, the mother of dead soldier, was informed by the secret service that on Thursday, she is a threat to the national security and will be arrested if she kept on coming back for a meeting with GW Bush. Check this link.

Schuylkill River Trail: There is a trail along the Schuylkill River from Norristown to Philadelphia which is 10.5 miles long. Since I hadn't ride a bicycle in five years, I wonder if it is unwise to take a morning cycle to Downtown for a guy who hasn't ride a bicycle in years. The trail is not hilly, it's pretty much level al the way to Downtown. Feedback?!

Cool, cool and cool! Remember this entry I talked about my houseparent at deaf school whom I enjoyed immensely? I was told by another friend of mine that this particular family that Kathy Hughes often mentioned to me during my times at VSDB about their organic food. The family sets up its own website so that others can purchase via the Internet. I think it is absolutely wonderful. Thanks to Sonny for the hat tip.

Now This Is One Rabid Sports Nut!

Eggs sent me the email with the link to this article. Being the sports fan of certain teams, I can empathize Chris Offord ... only to an extent.

I personally cannot stand people interrupting me when I am watching Virginia Women's Basketball and Football teams. Just wait until the commercials, please! If Virginia lost a game and you came to me and said, "Good game." -- I will torture you to no end. A loss is always bad. Tell me if you saw the record books that says something like this??

Harvard: 9/15/00 V. Stanford L 91-90 - Good game

One time back in January, 1991 -- my ex and I went to watch Virginia women play Penn State. UVa was ranked No. 1, Penn State No. 4. In the first half, Penn State roared to a shocking 16-point lead, 42-26. Then Virginia frantically raced back into the game and seized an 1-point lead, 71-70 with 4.8 seconds left. Penn State inbounded the ball and passed to the accursed one, Shelly Caplinger who nailed the 3-pointer at the buzzer to upset No. 1 Virginia, 73-71. I was devastated, pissed off and all these jumbling emotions rolling into me. Never mind, it was the first game that I attended which ended the game at the buzzer.

My ex, Todd did not care much for the game but he was there just to be with me. He said, "Good game." I gave him the stare that freaked him out -- I refused to cuddle, kiss or fuck him for days. He apologized profusely.

Looking back, I was 17! I was a teenager! But the passion is there. Today, I still have my quirks when it comes to Virginia games. Many who knew me in person can confirm this. I grew up a little when it comes to that sport. I will get mad for an hour or two, but after that, I'm OK. Even if a guy asked me to cuddle, I'll not reject it. But I still loathed Connecticut and Tennessee.

So when Chris Offord was watching ESPN and his wife pleaded him to get in bed to cuddle -- he was plainly nuts. What were he thinking?!

I am Scorpio! I love sex. I love to cuddle, kiss and everything! In fact, if someone offers me to cuddle him/her, I will forsake one night of ESPN SportsCenter for that. I guess I was harsh to my ex when I was 17 -- sometimes I laugh at that, sometimes I regret the way I did to him. He did not deserve it at all. I'd give anything to get that kiss and heavy hugs-duty from my ex anyday.

C'est la vie.

An Open Message To Lunatics

Amy Kurz(etard) has been relentless, for months, that I was the owner or AntiAmyKurz.blogspot.com -- the truth is far from that. When I learned of this, I thought it was hilarious. I contributed nothing -- sure, the owners of that blogsite took my words and contents to attack her.

Amy was determined that I was the one who sets it up along with few others. Naturally, I got tired of her rantings and stopped talking about it. But since she decided to set up a new anti-ridor blog (second so far) trying to tar who I am with whatever she can think of. I'm sure most of them are untrue. Amy and I knew each other for only 6 months more than a decade ago and she claimed that I'm her best friend! You decide.

Now, I decided to take the screenshot of my dashboard on blogger.com to prove that I own and operate only ONE blogsite. Two persons other than me already accessed to my blog can verify that I operate only one blog if they want to.

Here is the screenshot. Will it stop Amy from making further accusations? Doubtful.

Love This Dialogue!

This can be found in The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, as Felicia tried to tell a joke that she believed Bernadette would laugh so hard that her eyelashes will curl itself.

Bernadette slowly stared at Felicia, "Do tell us this hilarious joke, Felicia."

Felicia then said, "There was this Indian tribe named Fukawie, and the son of the Great Indian Chief asked him a question that bothered him -- why is my friend Little Hawk named "Little Hawk" -- ?"

Bernadette shot and interrupted Felicia, "And the father said, 'What do you want to know, Two Dogs Fucking?'"

Priceless dialogue.

Gary Hates ...

My brother, Gary and I, as students of VSDB, learned about the drug abuse through its local police department's DARE program, a program pushed by former First Lady Nancy Reagan -- remember the infamous, "Just say No!"

What an idiot.

I heard that the majority of DARE graduates ended up doing the stuff because they knew the names and all that information to get around. Boosted the business as well. I cannot speak for them but I can speak for myself. I think if not for DARE, I would have a hard time finding or identifying what kind of persons to get in touch with to buy something.

Thanks to DARE, I was able to know the ups and downs of drugs.

I think I can speak the same thing about my brother. My brother, at the age of 9, was vehemently against the drugs. You can see the picture of his drawing for The Virginia Guide which was printed in 1985. Such a priceless one. I plan to rub this to his face just for fun.



Please note that today, I still do not understand the piece of art on the top right -- can anyone make a wild guess of what it is?!

So much for the pothead brother I have.

Cheers,
