Sports Talk II

It was reported that an ex-NFL kicker Cole Ford, who graduated from Southern Cal and played for Oakland Raiders, was the culprit who fired the pellets at Siegfried & Roy's home in Las Vegas. It is possible that it is bias related but the Las Vegas Police Department ruled it out. C'mon, let's be serious for a minute -- never mind the cops' decision that it is not bias-related incident -- they always do that all the time. Anyway, this just proved that NFL needs to broaden its horizons in acceptance and reduce the homophobia comments in the locker rooms and on the playing field.

Wondered what the BoiFromTroy has to say about his favorite team that produced a nutty person like Cole Ford? Something to be proud of your Southern Cal roots, eh?

Last night at Equinox, Benis and I worked out. We snickered, giggled and muttered about things around us. We were on a treadmill and watched one guy staring at himself excessively by the mirror. He is so fucking in love wiht himself. So god-damned narcissistic! Anyway, we were watchintg the Twins-Yankees on television while exercising on a treadmill. Lots of guys cheered for Yankees.

Then we saw the tube commercial where a little boy of 4 or 5 years old playing tennis with an adult guy. That 4 or 5 years old boy was great. He was good, so good that it made me laugh. Then the adult barely beats the little boy only because the little boy was distracted when his parents' SUV arrived. The adult guy were worn out but pumped up that he beats this little boy. As the window rolled down in the SUV, you saw two familiar persons sitting. The father of the little boy shouted to the little boy that it's time to go home. It was Andre Agassi and his wife, Steffi Graf. That was a good commercial.

After that, I asked Benis a legitimate question. Is the NASCAR a sport? We are Southerners and we have the right to decide whether if it is a sport or not. Northerners & Westerners do not apply.

"No, it is not a sport. It is just an entertainment." Benis said. I see. I also do not think it is a sport. In fact, it does not require you to exercise, sweat and puff at all. In fact, it wasted the gas. Looking at the environment and preservation of our energies, the NASCAR events truly defied the logic of this -- it only did not defy, it mocked the need of conservation.

It is not a sport. It should be stopped, banned and be forgotten.

When we were done with the workouts at Equinox, Benis got paged by Richie Rich to meet him at XL Bar, just right before Faggot Feud. I groaned and told him that I'm too tired and worn out to go to a bar right after the workouts! Insistence always won, don't they? Off to XL Bar where we were greeted by LePore and Rich. They learned some signs. Like cute and sexy. Then Richie attempted to teach that to Amanda on stage. It was hysterical. The game between the hearing teams were very close -- it was in no manner with ours last week -- we just killed another team. Even Richie told me that it was more fun dealing with mine than the one last night. I saw a cute cowboy from Dallas whom I want to use the lasso to catch. Yeah, I got his email. That was cool. Wish me luck.

Oh, did I mention that I was about 2 feet away from the guy who won the first season of Survivior at XL Bar? Yeah, that Richard the naked fag whom I rooted against when I watched the program. Richard and Tina remained to be the only guys I really cannot stand the most. Boy, he is ugly and yet, he wore the fancy suit with a young, good-looking guy. Money does buy things in this community.

Thank You, Franco

Was out of office today on an errand. When I was done with the errand, I had a quick lunch with Benis. Talked a little then he mentioned that Franco is on AIM and if I want to say few words, eh? I nodded and IMmed him to talk a little. Asked him if he's recuperating all right from his devastating loss of his best friend, he's okay as can be.

Told him that I care, even if I teased him bit too much but I do care. Just wanted to make sure, is all. Franco replied, "I know you cared. That is why I have the utmost respect for you, RT."

That was the nicest thing anyone had said to me in a while. Sigh. Love ya, hottie.

Ahh, I should mention that a certain friend of mine for a long time recently set up her own blog. She said she was inspired to create one. How sweet.

To a certain person out in the West, shame on you for exploiting your family in the name of desperate attention! You know who you are! And get a clue, you're one lousy actress.

Today, during the errand, I was at the store that sells bedframes and matresses. I saw two Port Authority police officers in uniform standing very closely with each other and they were discussing with a guy who sells these things. These hot guys were talking about buying a queen-sized bed, which is right next to them. Perhaps for themselves. Nice, nice, nice.

I cannot wait to see the movie called ... Team America: World Police.

To amuse your own thoughts, here is a picture to watch, think and sigh.




Sigh.

Sports Talk

My brave Cavaliers football team is ranked No. 10 in the country with a record of 4-0, 2-0 and will play Clemson on ESPN. Clemson is angry, wounded team never to be underestimated even if they are 1-3.

I guess I'll tune in on ESPN on Thursday night. Sorry, fags, I won't be out to gay bars. I'll be at some heterosexual sports bar to root for the Cavaliers.

On other hand, my high school's girls volleyball team will begin its defense of Mason-Dixon Championship in Talladega, Alabama on Friday. This is a tough situation to be in -- last year, Virginia went 2-1 against Alabama in Knoxville, Tennessee including the championship match.

But again, Virginia practically returned everyone else. I'm not sure about Alabama, though.

Go Cavaliers! Go Cardinals!

Nery & Edward

My family has a friend named Nery who is Deaf and lives in Vienna, Virginia. She was born and raised in Havana, Cuba. Nery is passionate, wild and full of life woman, despite the fact that she cannot write nor read in English but at 68, that does not stop her from trying to learn. She is very fluent in ASL, though.

However, she was in Havana when she first met Edward, who was on a vacation in Havana and fell in love with her. This happened few months before Fidel Castro took over the island. Edward bagged her and brought her to Virginia while he worked for General Printing Office until his retirement.

One time, I was staying at his home for the weekend as I desperately needed a break from Gallaudet. Edward and Nery baked home-made pizza and accidentally spilled the cayenne peppers excessively. Edward raced to remove the peppers but it was too much for them to clear it up. Nery insisted that Edward go ahead and bake it anyway and see my reaction. I ate while they stared. I nearly died of dehyderation! Nery was convulsed with heavy laughters. While Edward panicked and fed me lots of water to drink.

However, there is a tale that I never forgot about Nery, courtesy of Edward. Edward loves to drink. One day, they went to a deaf event in Maryland, just off from 495 Beltway. Edward was too drunk to drive, Nery insisted that she drives. This happened more than 40 years ago, Edward explained. Edward was concerned that she cannot read English on the signs but Nery insisted that she knew the familiar words to get to Vienna. He decided to let her drive while he slept in the car, he checked the gas to make sure that it's available. It was nearly 3/4. Leading her to the beltway, he dozed off.

Later, the car hits a common bump on the beltway which jolted Edward to wake up and saw a sign, "College Park". He thought it was odd because the car is supposed to go south, not north. As soon as Edward realized that the car is on the correct path -- but there is something wrong with the picture. Edward noticed that the gas is almost empty. He was baffled and looked at time, it was nearly 5 AM in the morning -- suddenly, he realized that Nery has been driving on the beltway in circles! For hours!

I watched Edward in amazement as Edward said, "Yes, true biz! Yes, true! Her did it!" He pointed at her.

Nery blew up at Edward in Cuban-style, "Must you tell everyone about that? MUST MUST MUST????"

You cannot deny but love them for who they are.

Basement as usual?

Rodney Dangerfield is dead at 82. It is about the time he dropped dead and everyone did not laugh. He is such a legend in his way, filthy mouth with plenty of funny comments. Among his famous lines were: "I was so ugly that when I was born, the doctor slapped my mother." and "Every time I get in an elevator, the operator says the same thing to me: 'Basement?'"

I enjoyed his flicks in Caddyshack and Back to School. In Back to School, where the school registration had a long line, Rodney whispered to his limousine driver who went outside to park his limousine in front of registration area and erected a sign, "Madonna Is Here". The long line emptied so fast. From there, I never forgot the line -- I often walked in bars where it was crowded, I often thought of Rodney's antics, wished that I'd have someone do that now.

Ann Coulter continues to be a dumb broad who harped on her hatred of liberalism. She accused the liberals of protecting the ones who were put in Guatanamo Bay. Ann does not get it. We are civilized nation. We have to treat the prisoners with the same respect as accord per the international laws. I must admit that it was clever of Bush's lawyers to come up with the line: Enemy Combatants. By that, the Bush administration sets them apart from the ordinary prisoners. It is a bad precedent. Perhaps in time, many countries will copy and disregard the international laws -- all because of Bush. It excludes the prisoners' rights to trial or to defend themselves.

Every human being in the world is entitled to have a speedy trial. To throw someone into the brig for years without hearing the verdicts is simply wrong. Is simply immoral. Is simply evil. There is nothing conservative nor liberal about it, you dumbfuck! Rot in hell, Ann. You're just a bitter old hag.

The Plot Thickens ...

This is the latest information out of Maryland -- the rumors have that Petru was never pushed or fell down the stairs.

He was found tied and beaten in a locked room. The information is very skeptical at this moment but it was said that Petru was beaten badly -- he was left alone for some time and tied up with the duct tapes. It was rumored that when the cops and others came to help Petru, Petru mentioned the culprit's name, Joseph Barr.

The whole thing is under investigation -- lots of people felt that Joseph was the person who beats up on Petru. And not only that, Petru does not have any bruises on his body except for his head.

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

Insanity Rules!

In Tucson, Arizona -- Mom dies of heartbroken after identifying her dead son who was gunned in Iraq, courtesy of GW Bush's mistakes.

In Knoxville, Tenn -- Someone fired at Bush/Cheney's campaign office and shattered the windows.

In New York -- a 86 year old woman used her cane to whack the Republican woman who insisted to hold the Bush/Cheney sign in the apartment lobby. Why? The 86 year old woman said she does not want the politics to enter her building -- and the Republican lady does not live there -- she just came in to hold the sign.

I also learned something new about Dartmouth -- that so-called Republican conservative, Jack Ryan who resigned from running for Illinois Senate after the local newspaper zeroed in on his divorce with actress Jeri Ryan who accused him of pressuring her to perform sex in front of others at sex clubs. Jack Ryan graduated from Dartmouth. So did Theodor Geisel. Know who Geisel is? If not, shame on you.

Not only that, they had a senior survey on Dartmouth graduates last spring which was published in DAM (Dartmouth Alumni Magazine), 80 percent intends to vote for Kerry, 5 percent for Bush. One person wondered if the seniors were brainwashed by the professors who were anti-Bush? One biology professor suggested that the results of this survey reflected the "dissatisfication of scientists -- faculty and students -- with the widespread efforts by the Bush administration to undermine the scientific process underlying policy decisions. From global climate change and stem cell research to effects of snowmobiles in Yellowstone and research on sexually transmitted diseases, this administration twists science to match its own political agenda."

Well said, Stephen Jenkins.

Related to the election -- For your own thoughts, this quote was uttered by your favorite guy, Joseph Stalin.

"The people who cast the votes do not decide an election, the people who count the votes do."

Does this sounds familiar in Florida four years ago?
