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!

There Are Weirdos Out There

I stole this email from someone else but I'm going to change the names and smokescreen the email address.

* * *

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.

Where Is That Bottomless Pit?

It is amazing to observe the tactics of Republicans. They kept on breaking the new lows.

Rep. David Dreier (R-Calif) has been outed. There is a rule within Congress that family members cannot be employed by their senators/representatives in the offices. This faggot lives with Brad Smith, who is his Chief of Staff. Brad Smith is also the highest paid chief in the government. Do I smell the stench of liberalism? Nope, conservatives are the stench. David Dreier called himself the conservative Republican.

In Arkansas, there is the mass distribution to the rural voters by the Republicans National Committee. They sent the postcards to warn or scare the rural voters that if one votes for Kerry, they will expect that the Holy Bible will be banned, and that the gay marriage will be allowed. Is this a new low by the Republicans National Committee? RNC Spokesman admitted that they circulated these lies. Where is the apology for this false information?

And this one just came out of BlogActive.com, gotta love Michael Rogers for doing his job. He just outed Jay Banning, who is the Chief Financial Officer and Director of Administration of the Republicans National Committee.

It is sickening that we have too many Roy Cohns in the Congress, and it was certainly no surprise to see many Republicans imitating Roy Cohns from day one. Denying people the rights but hide their pleasures and rights for themselves.

Fuck them.
