Today, I was walking down the street, I guess I was in deep thoughts. Suddenly, I was tapped from behind. Who would tap me from behind in Manhattan, I wonder? I turned to look at very cute guy smiling at me. I was surprised and smiled a little with bit of my eyebrows acting up with suspicion.
He said, "Remember me? We met at The Cock Bar!" His speech was very clear that I understood on the first try. Wow.
I was not sure if I remembered him. Maybe I was drunk on one of these nights. I do not know. But the point is, he is here and he is smiling. I smiled and said, "How are you?"
"I'm good. How come you did not email me?"
Oh. I hate that.

Stupid Is As Stupid Does
Last night, I watched the 3rd debate of President Bush and Senator Kerry as well as flipping over to watch the Yanks-BoSox game. When the moderator asked Bush this particular question, I thought it was a good question.
But when Bush answered, I nearly shot the iced tea out of my nose. Is this what we needed in White House?
Here is the transcript I want to provide what Bush said:
Mr. President, what do you say to someone in this country who has lost his job to someone overseas who‘s being paid a fraction of what that job paid here in the United States?
BUSH: I‘d say, Bob, I‘ve got policies to continue to grow our economy and create the jobs of the 21st century. And here‘s some help for you to go get an education. Here‘s some help for you to go to a community college.
We‘ve expanded trade adjustment assistance. We want to help pay for you to gain the skills necessary to fill the jobs of the 21st century.
The answer by Bush is incredibly insulting and moot, especially towards millions of students who already graduated from colleges & universities. I think any person who has the Ph.D degree will be offended when Bush tells them to go and get an education at a community college!

An Assortment of Weekends
It is nice to live in New York, it is the hub of world -- it is much cheaper to fly to New York than to fly to Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. So it is certainly a bonus to meet old friends from time to time.
There is a great film where Billy Crudup, Jason Patric, Brad Pitt and Ron Eldard played together -- in Sleepers. Out of four guys, I find Ron Eldard to be incredibly irresistible because of his eyes. It is good enough to melt me like Dorothy did to the Wicked.
However, in the ending of the film, where these four guys got together for old times' sake -- it is something that I often do with my friends -- talking, poking fun at life and celebrating our times together.
Sometimes it is good life, is it?
In one scene where Ron Eldard used his hands to drum on the table and started to sing something funny. Everyone followed along and sang. It was heart-moving one, especially with Ron's facial expressions -- he was really into this mode. I think I should attempt to do that in ASL someday and see how it happens with friends of mine. I don't care much for gawkers to VEE VEE at us for being silly at times.
Drink it up, buddies!
For Old Times' Sake!

Gorgeous Picture?
Sometimes you wish that you could be something else outside of a human body, what do you wish to be? I often wished to be a massive mountain, just like this.
Cheers,

Oh, ye poor Astros & Cardinals!
Oh, my poor lost Astros and Cardinals -- the professional baseball teams embarking on a trip to World Series are not getting any attention in the media. The Astros and Cardinals are waving their hands frantically to get some attention to them -- that they are in the finals of NLCS. But nobody cared. The media is saturated with the mystical rivals between Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees in the ALCS.
The rivals between these teams are ridiculous. I am not a fan of both teams, but I really feel for Boston Red Sox who struggled to reach the finals of World Series, only to be blocked repeatedly by New York Yankees since 1918. That is not 20 years ago. That is 86 years ago. Of course, I'm going to root for BoSox just to see what it's going to be like in Boston when they finally beat New York. Of course, just to see Char's reactions when the Yankees finally lost.
The passion between these two teams are ridiculous. One BoSox fan admitted that he sacrificed a goat, trying to break a curse that was started 86 years ago. That is pretty silly, don't you think? But that is how it is.
I was at a local pub, Dempsey's Pub which caters to Irish folks in Manhattan. Last month, there were some games between BoSox and Yankees. When BoSox hits for a home rum, you cannot know how loud the pub endured with these Irish folks -- even for me as Deaf person, I was startled by their passion.
You know, when the professional football team, New England Patriots won the Super Bowl, its fans went out on the streets, they chanted, "YANKS SUCK! YANKS SUCK! YANKS SUCK!" Why did they mention Yankees in the football celebration?
This simply proved that baseball is the American institution, a level above the professional football, like it or not.
Like someone said earlier, if the BoSox finally beats NY Yankees in the ALCS, the riots on the streets in Boston is going to make the recent victory of Super Bowl like "your grandmother's tea party". I agreed with that particular person.
So this time, I'm going to root for BoSox just to see how it turned out in the end. You know me, I love the drama.
I'm not fan of professional baseball -- but I enjoyed hearing the tensions between these two teams. As of now, you know what will happen to a wet towel when you keep on twisting for a long period of time? Eventually, it will snap.
So, the curse shall be ... like that.

Gotta Love These Norwegians!
The Norwegians bought the advertisement page in The Washington Post and it's to tell the swing voters to say "no" to Bush and his foreign policy.
I got few friends from Norway and the most important of all is Berna, my Eurotrash pal -- she's from Norway as well.
Their website is clever -- I love it! Here is the link: www.tellhim.no
Har har! Their flag colors are dark blue and red -- so I'm honoring 'em.
Way to go, Norwegians!

You Go, Girl!
I learned that Stefan LeFors is the quarterback of Louisville Cardinals, who is slated to play against No. 3 Miami Hurricanes on Thursday night. I hope Stefan LeFors will be able to lead the Cardinals to an upset.
Why him? Stefan is the CODA, thus I'm inclined to root for him to beat Miami Hurricanes.
To Hearies, CODA means 'Child of Deaf Adults'.
Stefan's parents are Deaf from Baton Rouge. He also had a Deaf brother, Eric who played the quarterback at Gallaudet for a long time.
Stefan is hot, I admit. That is a bonus to root for him. Stefan mentioned that the deaf community in Baton Rouge knew him and probably is rooting for him -- he is tad wrong on this subject. Many deaf communities in the nation are going to root for Stefan LeFors, because he is one of us.
Beat Hurricanes! Go Stefan!
