WNBA's Timeout

Aside from my rampages in the Fire Island, I would like to take a moment to acknowledge MIchele Van Gorp for being casual about herself in a professional league.

I personally dislike her because she played at Duke, a rival of Virginia Cavaliers whom I favored since I was a kid. As of lately, Duke has been somewhat dominant figure in the ACC. Dookies certainly pissed me off when they stole the win from us by a controversial foul that resulted in a 60-59 win for Duke two years ago. I'm happy that Van Gorp is being casual, but she is still a Dookie to me first of all.

Anyway, I just hope that Mike Piazza will follow her example and be casual about it. Besides, who says "I am not homosexual"? If I was straight guy, I would say that I am not gay, instead of using "homosexual". Something is wrong with this picture...

Fire Island II: The Pines

Upon arriving in The Pines, lots of people waved when the boats docked. I was VEE-VEE at the warmth atmosphere surrounding the island. One immediate thing that surprised me the most is that Fire Island is not a beach town. It is not like Rehoboth Beach.

In fact, what they have in Fire Island made Rehoboth Beach look bad. IN fact, Fire Island is in its own level away from Key West and Rehoboth Beach, Mark said. Mark said, "I never have been to a place that is overwhelmingly gay or gay-oriented."

The beach is in the back facing the ocean. The Pines is situated in the front facing Long Island. It has bars, stores, restaurants with the maze of wood-made for walkways around the houses.

I was jolted by a friend of mine whom I knew in Manhattan -- the same guy that Merritt and Manny met at GLBT Center -- Manny & Merritt, remmy the Leech comments? Y-E-S -- the same guy!

That guy greeted me and I chatted a little before Web hijacked me to head out to Sorace's place. My friends and I strolled to a house on a wood-sidewalk throughout the forest-lushy neighborhood with magnificent homes.

By God, The Pines are reserved for these people who has money to spend. I kept on looking at people, they are simply friendly. I also saw four deers mingling around the island all day long.

Had a good time at Sorace's place, swam, partied and chatted.

Roberts fell in the pool by accident and too bad, she saved her drink but not her pager. I saw the whole thing. It was tragic and funny.

Bruce, Jimmy and others were gracious hosts of the party. Thank you, guys!!

Later, we went to the Harbor to check out the annual "Invasion of The Pines". The ferry boat is full of drag queens as the boat docked at The Pines, lots of people drinking and having good times. I was not impressed. It could be better. Anyway, we went back to Sorace's Place for a while. It was fun hanging out with Mark and make fun of others.

Up next is Fire Island III: The Terrors of Meatracks!

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.
