Fire Island I: The Transportation

As the sun arose over the skyscrapers of Manhattan and into my apartment, I rolled off the bed. Cynthia smiled and said, "We have to get ready! But we are so fucked up!" I nodded and laughed. Showertime. We parted as she hopped in a truck with her friends en route to Sayville. I went to the subway to get to Penn Station to meet BJ, LJ, Web, Katie, Patrice and few others.

$12 for a Long Island Railroad (LIRR) round-trip to Sayville in Long Island. $3 for a van trip to the Ferry from the Sayville LIRR Station. $8 for the round-trip to Fire Island by Ferry service. So in total, $26 for the whole trip itself. It is like going to Six Flags just to get in the park!

On the train, I noticed that there are hundreds of gay men heading out to Fire Island. They are mostly twinks, pretty bois and muscular men.

Did you know that on my right foot, I can force my toes to say "Fuck you"? Well, it sounds lame, but I can. And I shared the secret with my friends on the train.

Fire Island is about a mile outside of Long Island. BJ explained that we were going to The Pines, the site of "Invasion" which occurs on 4th of July. He explained that some years ago, the Pines does not welcome drag queens. So some drag queens decided to invade in the area, forcing The Pines to accept them at all costs. Thus marked the annuall "invasion" of The Pines.

On Fire Island, The Pines is on the eastern edge of the island with Cherry Grove on its western edge. Meatracks is situated between these two communities. It is interesting to note that no papers talked about Meatracks but everyone talked about it informally.

When I arrived at The Pines, I was bewildered at the numbers of gay men. It appeared that we might need a gay passport to enter a gay nation. Fire Island is a gay nation unto itself.

A New Name

Mary Washington College in Fredericksburg, Virginia will transform itself from MWC to UMW. Yeah, the University of Mary Washington.

Sounds bad? Maybe.

Why did I mention this? Actually, nothing at all. Just thought it is interesting to mention that since it sits between my parents' home and Washington, DC. I also lived in Spotsylvania which is few minutes from MWC when I was a wee child.

Not only that, Gallaudet plays in the same conference with them as well ... Can you imagine Gallaudet University being "The University of Gallaudet"?

EW.

Doing A Duty, Really

I am doing this for a certain friend somewhere in the United States who wants to use my avenue to spread the Word.

This is the last time I do this for you -- next time, make your own blog, baby.

"I was informed by my sources in the Deaf Community that Ted Sims of Illinois was arrested for having sexual relationship a 11 year old girl and a 13 year old girl"

"He has had a history of doing this, which is why his wife left him a couple years ago. Nobody wants this lowlife welfare-collecting sicko who never works and spends his days chasing young innocent girls thru the internet."

"This 43 year old man is sick and disgusting. Avoid Jacksonville, Illinois which is where he lives."

My Flat Ass

I also hated my ass. It is flat. I acknowledged it. There, I say it. Beth talked about her boobs. Now Char told me that there is an article that talked about the bigger boobs, the smarter women are. Now what about the flat ass?

Speaking of my flat ass, last year, the guy I had been seeing in the District, Rob complained fervently that I got a flat ass and that I need to work it up. I'm like, "How?"

Walk up and down the stairs. Make sure you push your ass out. Do it daily. Rob said.

Oh, I responded.

Who gives a fuck? Well, apparently the world and I do.

Last Sunday night at The Park, I was struggling to get to the bar, someone grabbed my ass. I was stunned and turned to see a muscular guy grinning at me. Of course, I was surprised at the magnitude of this scope, mainly because he is cute. I smiled a little. I quickly typed on my pager and showed it to him. He laughed out loud and hugged me. It reads: "Enjoy my flat ass?"

Then he typed back, "I like guys who has flat ass."

Oh. My first time in meeting a guy who likes that.

Nice, nice to be groped by someone who is attractive.

Andy and Jack

Some people asked me why I classified Andy's Blog as "Worthless".

One word: Hypocrite.

He proclaims to be a Republican conservative. He thrives Reagan. He thinks Bush is doing a great job. He attacks Kerry at all costs. He is a barebacker. Yes, he was exposed by Signorile Michelangelo few years of having a barebackcity.com profile which he uses the alias name to scourge for any guys (it was mentioned that guys who wanted to be converted is welcome to get in touch with him) to fuck without condoms.

Basically, he sucks.

As for Jack Ryan, that fool conservative Republican who was vying for a position in the United States Senate has backed out of the race after he lost control of his "conservative looks" after the courts unsealed his interests in public sex.

Speaking of HIV, it may sound like I'm bit obsessed on HIV stuff since James mentioned that I am pretty harsh on HIV Positive guys. Maybe I am.

I was reading some websites and stumbled upon an interesting speculation -- here it reads:

Another speculation -- one of HIV's nastier tricks is that it crosses the blood/brain barrier and eats away at brain tissue, with resulting dementia.

No wonder I get that vibe when I read GeekSlut and Andrew's blogs.

Have a good weekend.

Cuddle Party?!

A Legitimate Question

I want a hearing person to answer this. This is not supposed to be an insult. I think a lot of Deaf persons would like to know about this.

Why are you guys obsessed with the sounds?

I'm sick of hearing people talking about how great the sounds are. I'm sick of seeing people revolving their lives around music. I'm sick of people trying to live by the sounds.

Frankly, the music is nice when it is relaxing and when I am in the mood. But overall, when I want a quiet time, the sounds are to be completely CUT OFF. No music allowed, no volumes allowed. In fact, I always made sure that my TV set is off.

But the question is: Why are you obsessed with the music?
