2004Weblogawards.com Sucks

I nominate myself and some of my friends told me they nominated my blogsite in 2004weblogawards.com. I was hoping that some deaf bloggers get to do that. Apparently, I saw few.

And they selected the nominated ones out of hundreds and guess what? No deaf blog.

Nothing is new, right?

And they wonder why Deaf people tend to set up our own organizations, athletic teams, social events away from 'em? It is because they excluded us from day one. Patronize us as if we are just "cats" or "dogs" or even a side dish that can wait until everyone is done, then pay attention to us.

I must admit that I was hoping for a deaf blog to be, at least, nominated. But again, my guts warned me that it is always a *fat* chance. My guts was right. But at least, this gave me an idea. We should set up our own DeafBlogAwards.com where we *forbit* a hearing person from participating in the contest. Of course, they do not know what "forbit" is all about! If they knew the inside jokes, they'll know what "forbit" is all about.

Yeah, that's it. I'll figure out a plan and perhaps, pull some coins to purchase a website where I can organize and start the labor of love and do it for ourselves. Many of us deserved the pats for making an effort to share our thoughts on everything else -- but too bad, the one over at 2004weblogawards.com is not open or inclusive to deaf bloggers.

Shame on 'em. Like always, we screw 'em and build our own for ourselves.

2004 MetroWeekly CoverBoy Of The Year

In Washington, DC -- there are ten boys in round 2 for the MetroWeekly CoverBoy Of The Year and guess what?!

There is Deaf guy who is one of Top 10 Finalists, he graduated from RIT and is now living in Washington -- I met him recently in Washington. He's nice fella. Name is Jeremy. Let's support the deaf dude by voting for him. Fuck hearies, they won too many awards year after year -- let's take it away from 'em.

I did.

The Pivotal Question

Yesterday, Ben and I shopped at a local grocery store and babbled about things in life. I'm telling you, guys, the carts in the grocery stores here in Manhattan will make the suburbanites look at in amazement -- it is tiny enough to be a child's plaything! It is ridiculous at times, though.

Ben mentioned a good question -- why did the captions has CC2 or TXT1 whereas we never used it anyday, anyhow and anywhere. Why did it add up? Ben has a good point.

Anyone know why we have to have CC2, CC3 or CC4? What's wrong with only one, CC?

Also, the TV companies need to put the captions CC1 automatically, not fuckin' TXT1. I'm sick of going to places and had to tell the bartenders and/or waitresses to give me the remote control to adjust so that I can watch the TV with the captions.

Hey, you fuckers, when you manufacture the TV, insert CC first, not TXT1!

Thanks to a friend who forwarded this to me. Very scary thoughts.

ORDERING PIZZA IN 2008

Operator: Thank you for calling Pizza Hut. May I have your national ID number?

Customer: Hi, I'd like to place an order.

Operator: I must have your NIDN first, sir

Customer: My National ID Number, yeah, hold on, eh, it's 49998-45-54610.

Operator: Thank you Mr. Sheehan I see you live at 1742 Meadowland Drive, and the phone number is 494-2366. Your office number over at Lincoln Insurance is 745-2302 and your cell number is 266-2566. E-mail address is Seehan@home.net. I see you're calling me from home.

Customer: Huh? Where'd you get all this information?

Operator: We're wired into the HSS, sir.

Customer: The HSS, what is that?

Operator: We're wired into the Homeland Security System, sir. This will add only 15 seconds to your ordering time.

Customer: (sighs) Oh well, I'd like to order a couple of your All-Meat Special pizzas.

Operator: I don't think that's a good idea, sir.

Customer: Whaddya mean?Operator: Sir, your medical records and commode sensors indicate that you've got very high blood pressure and extremely high cholesterol. Your National Health Care provider won't allow such an unhealthy choice.

Customer: What?!?! What do you recommend, then?

Operator: You might try our low-fat Soybean Pizza. I'm sure you'll like it.

Customer: What makes you think I'd like something like that?

Operator: Well, you checked out 'Gourmet Soybean Recipes' from your local library last week, sir. That's why I made the suggestion.

Customer: All right, all right. Give me two family-sized ones, then.

Operator: That should be plenty for you, your wife and your four kids. Your 2 dogs can finish the crusts, sir. Your total is $49.99.

Customer: Lemme give you my credit card number.

Operator: I'm sorry sir, but I'm afraid you'll have to pay in cash. Your credit card balance is over its limit.

Customer: I'll run over to the ATM and get some cash before your driver gets here.

Operator: That won't work either, sir. Your checking account is overdrawn also.

Customer: Never mind! Just send the pizzas. I'll have the cash ready. How long will it take?

Operator: We're running a little behind, sir. It'll be about 45 minutes, sir. If you're in a hurry you might want to pick'em up while you're out getting the cash, but then, carrying pizzas on a motorcycle can be little awkward.

Customer: Wait! How do you know I ride a bike?

Operator: It says here you're in arrears on your car payments, so your car got repo'ed. But your Harley's paid for and you just filled the tank yesterday.

Customer: Well, god-damit!

Operator: I'd advise watching your language, sir. You've already got a July 4, 2003 conviction for cussing out a cop and another one I see here in September for contempt at your hearing for cussing at a judge. Oh yes, I see here that you just got out from a 90 day stay in the State Correctional Facility. Is this your first pizza since your return to society?

Customer: (speechless)

Operator: Will there be anything else, sir?

Customer: Yes, I have a coupon for a free 2 liter of Coke..

Operator: I'm sorry sir, but our ad's exclusionary clause prevents us from offering free soda to diabetics. The New Constitution prohibits this... Thank you for calling Pizza Hut!

More Hypocrisy

The cycle of violence shall continue in the Middle East. A new batch of photos were surfaced with NAVY SEALs abusing and degrading the detainees. Good job, soldiers. Such a heroic behavior!

It is awesome that these so-called heroic soldiers are continuing to degrade the Iraqis to a point where they will resent us -- these will be the downfall of ours.

More dead American soldiers will occur. Then we can call them our heroes.

Republicans adopted the pro-family values, pro-Morals and vigorously attacked Democrats for supporting the gay rights, including gay marriage. Meanwhile, Hustler Magazine has reported that they sent an undercover reporter during the Republicans National Convention and uncovered a great deal of debauchery that contradicts the philosophical beliefs of conservatives and Republicans.

GW Bush's family has morals, yeah, TRUE BIZ! They are role models for us to cringe at.

Republican Senator David Dreier is well-protected by special interests in California, despite the fact that he probably committed several unethical standards. Where is the outcry?

As you can see, I prefer to be liberal. Why? Because at least, I'm being honest and open about it. Conservatives and Republicans seem to hide their immoral behavior but preach that they are for family values.

Says a lot about 'em, though.

As Usual, Conservatives = Homophobic.

The movie, Alexander The Great, came out. Killing hundreds of thousands, enslaving millions of people, conquered nations ... nobody complained. But when Alexander made out with a man, conservatives complained.

I saw this excerpt in a local paper:

And a farmer in Bulgaria is suing the breeder who sold him a prize-winning pig because he claims the swine was gay.

According to online news source Ananova.com, Galen Dobrev claims that all the farmers in his town of Shumen learned about the pig and then no one would buy it.

“It’s a disgrace,” Dobrev said. “All he was interested in was other male pigs.”

The farmer took pictures of the 220-pound swine attempting to have sex with other male pigs. When the pig was impossible to sell, Dobrev turned the animal into sausage.

Umm. Well, the farmer is idiot. Know why? He probably fed himself with the gay sausage. Go figure.

Who Is He?

As you may wonder who this guy is on your right side which overlapped on the blue strip. He is my favorite character of any fiction tales -- Mordru. Mordru is an omnipotent being bent on to rule the universe. He is abrasive, rude, funny, condescending, handsome and at times, frightening. He is not afraid to say something in anyone's face. His weakness is that he is claustrophobic, bury him alive -- his mind shuts down. Like I said, he is an omnipotent being and had to live in a human body in order to gain the advantages to rule the universe -- but to occupy a body is rather distasteful for him because it has the limits.

I erased the comments out of that picture and inserted my own words: "Who Dares?" -- it is a way to greet anyone else who wandered on my domain. Only time will tell if I like you or not.

Sorry for not blogging lately, I had been so busy this week. I met Peter at Nowhere Bar during the Big Lug. I get to know him more than ever. He's very nice fellow. Oh, well.

Jeff, you're permanently banned from my blogsite until you finally grow the sense of compassion for others. Amy, since you used your husband's computer, you are unfortunately wiped out as well. I have no qualms against you both, just that I am appalled with your thoughts and attitudes.

I guess Iowans will have their own fireworks to celebrate the rejection of Kurz.

Ahh, time to run to the bar and drink one Cape Cod before I hit the sack.

I need that.

Oh, I got an email from a straight dude who wants to experiment with me but he is very shy and embarassed because his dick is tiny. I told him that I'll make him feel that he's the greatest one in the whole friggin' world. I know I can make him feel he's well hung.

Elisa, it has nothing to do with your beliefs in God -- it has something to do with how your people contributed to the struggles by having "it is not about me, so I'm having my hands off. Tough luck!" attitude. One day, your world will crash. And I could stand next to you and say, "As long as it does not concern me, my hands are tied. SYL!" It was appalling that the Republicans smeared Democrats using the gay marriage scare tactics and I do not see you standing up as a Christian to dispel, discourage or tell people to stop that. You just turned the cheek around -- and from there, your beliefs in God means nothing to me.

Guys, guys .. time to get a drink. I'm not angry. It is pointless to be angry, I will just smirk and strike back with lame, insulting and disgusting comments from time to time ... just to share my thoughts.

Get used to it, my friends.
