Star Wars

As a kid, my oldest brother who is hearing showed me the advertisement in Richmond Times-Dispatch of a movie called "Star Wars". My hearing brother is fluent in ASL and he animatedly described the battles in the space with Death Star looming in background. Then he talked about the fierce lightsaber fight between Darth Vader and Obi-wan Kenobi. I was enthralled and persisted my parents to take us to see the movie.

Suffice to say, it was my hearing brother who hooked me up with the mystical fantasy of Star Wars folklore. Later, we saw the fake lightsabers -- Gary, Billy Jr and I persisted Mom to buy three for us all. We ended up staying in our bedroom -- turning the lights off. And turn the lightsaber on -- suffice to say, we all destroyed our bedroom, along with some bruises on our heads, shoulders, arms, hands -- and yeah, by the end of the night, the lightsabers were worn out, you could see the long stick bend in half.

Star Wars IV, V and VI were fun for me as a child and a teenager. Never mind that Luke is the son of Darth Vader -- it is the battles that counted the most. The explosions, the attacks, the fights -- that s what makes the movies so fun back then since there was no subtitles or captions in a movie theater. Sometimes, my hearing brother would say, "Luke's father who? THERE!!" He would point at Darth Vader who seemed to breathe hard and loud enough for me to feel it on the armchair. I said, "Liar, you crazy, you stupid hearie bro!"

My hearie bro would grab my jaw and say, "TRUE! NOT LIE! TRUE!" I'd gurgle with his hand on my jaw and say, "Yeah, yeah."

Last night, I saw the advertisement on the tube about the complete DVD collection of Star Wars IV, V and VI. IN that, Darth Vader was hanging out with this fan of Star Wars and watching the DVD. When the Death Star exploded, the fan cheered -- Darth Vader turned to stare at the fan who went quiet so fast. So hilarious. Then when the fan tried to use the mind to get the remote control, Darth Vader looked at him then at the remote control -- then sighed. Darth Vader gave up and grabbed the remote control and gave it to the fan in exasperation. So funny!

Thanks, Billy Jr, but you still dumbfuck hearie bro to me.

Time's Man Of The Year

The Unsomnambulist made a good point -- GW Bush was selected as Time Magazine's Man Of The Year.

But again, so was Yasser Arafat and Adolf Hitler.

The Mother Nature will take care with the disgusting family which was connected to the Nazi regime in the past.

We Are Everywhere!

Conservative Republicans are slamming the gay author C.A. Tripp for writing a book that discussed the evidence that clearly pointed out that the founder of GOP Party is a faggot. Yes, our beloved Abraham Lincoln likes to take it up his ass. Or between his thighs. Either way, conservative Republicans need to *shut* up and see the evidence. It is so obvious. Hello! He never had a child of his own. Only stepchildren. He always had a huge affection for a guy named Joshua Speed.

Accept that. He's a fag. Just like me.

Now, let's stroll over to Iraq where the US Soldier murdered a gay Iraqi teen after they had a consensual sex at a watchtower. The US Soldier is married and has a child but yet, buttfucked a gay Iraqi teen. When he cummed, he was distraught and decided to shoot the gay kid to death.

So much for "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy which President Clinton was forced to have a compromise with Pentagon officials and conservative Republicans. Initially, when President Clinton assumed the office, he issued an executive order to stop Pentagon from discriminating gay men and women in the Armed Forces. It was the Republicans who wailed. Today, it was appalling that Gay Republicans accused President Clinton of setting up the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy without mentioning that it was their party who wailed in the first place.

ACLU is here to stay. ACLU has noble intentions to safeguard the people's rights even if it is not popular. It makes sure that the Constitution is for everyone else as well. This is why the conservatives, Republicans and Christians groaned. They wanted the open-end avenue to destroy not-so-popular people should it arise to present a problem onto 'em.

Rush Limbaugh, a staunch conservative Republican drug junkie, hated the ACLU so much that he would love to see it to be destroyed. But the ironic thing is that Rush sought the ACLU to defend his medical history when the government targeted him for his prescription addictions. The ACLU defended him, imagine that.

The ACLU Board just chose Anthony Romero to be the Executive Director. Now the conservative Republicans are plotting to use Romero's sexual orientation to bash the ACLU. Get a life, conservative Republicans -- now beat off.

Arnie Schwarzenegger may be a sensible Republican I ever seen in a long time -- he told the GOP to loosen up on gays -- stop picking on 'em. Smart guy. I'll concede to that.

Conservative Republicans remind me of a scene in a movie called Footloose. John Lithgow acted as Rev. Shaw Moore who banned the dancing in a small town somewhere in the Midwest. Rev. Shaw Moore lobbied to pass the law to ban the dance in a small town right after his daughter was killed in an automobile accident right after leaving the dance club.

Suffice to say, there was a struggle between the pro-dance folks and anti-dance folks. During the town hall meeting, Rev. Shaw Moore talked about the positive effects of banning dance then he saw his son-in-law applauding in loud agreement. At *that* moment, Rev. Shaw Moore flinched, was turned off by that notion of his son-in-law's behavior. That's how I feel about many people out there.

It was rumored that during the Republican convention, the demands for prostitutes were enormous that many people had to haul the prostitutes out of Jersey to accomodate the demands in Manhattan. Says a lot about conservatives, Christians and Republicans.

For the love of God, practice what you fuckin' preach. But you cannot.

Carrie Arrives, Snow Deploys and Who Cares About Malls?

Carrie waited for me more than an hour. It was such a long ride from Uptown to JFK Airport by subway and AirTrain. AirTrain is ridiculously expensive but nice ride. I was apprehensive to use JFK because of its spotty transportation and distance. But with AirTrain running every 13 minutes, I'm set to visit Phoenix to abuse Chlms.

Yay.

Carrie looks good as ever. No more glasses. Longer hair.

Meanwhile, it is snowing as of now. The first snow of the wintry season. Yay. Perlis is tickled pink and hopped around. Just wait until Perlis started to walk around in the next few days, she'll condemn snow because it is very messy, especially at the corners of the intersections. I'll hear her complaining that she stepped in a deep puddle which will flood all of her shoe. Ew. :-)

And I just read that bimbo Kurz's entry about malls. Who cares about it? Who cares about what store one has in her hometown? IN New York, we have everything to a point where we do not have to mention it. We are that advanced, honey.

As for sex shops, it was reported in the papers that there were a huge increase numbers of sex shops in red states, mainly in rural areas. Says a lot, hon. And guess what? Florida is red state.

Go figure.

JMU Wins, I Fuck and Cock-Out Colin

Two things has to be said today.

I am using the gold fonts as to congratulate James Madison University Dukes for winning the Division I-AA National Championship. It was an outstanding run for the Dukes and a huge milestone in JMU's short but robust history.

My elementary/high school is not far from James Madison University -- as Staunton is about 30 minutes away from Harrisonburg, the hometown of JMU. Occassionally, JMU sent its students to intern/volunteer/work at VSDB. I once met an intern's boyfriend who happened to be the star on Men's Basketball team. That guy is Steve Hood. He went to Maryland before transferred to JMU back then.

Traditionally, JMU is filled with great support for its women's athletics than men's. Especially with field hockey, soccer and basketball teams. I remembered the tragic day where JMU Women's Basketball team pulled the nation's greatest upset in collegiate women's basketball sport by upsetting 1st-seeded Virginia Cavaliers, 71-62 in Charlottesville. Then five or six years later, they did it again by upsetting No. 1-ranked Penn State in State College, Pennsylvania.

As for JMU's Men's sports, none excelled until this year's football team, they won the Division I-AA National Championship by beating Montana, 31-21 and finished the season at 13-2.

Two huge jeers goes to Kerry Mullan. Kerry socked in the face of JMU Quarterback few seconds after the Quarterback completed the throw. That was bad conduct. Good thing, he got the penalty on Montana. Kerry knew he was hitting the quarterback right into his helmet. Shame on you, Kerry.

Second thing, I played with someone via craigslist.org over the weekend. Among few comments that was being said to me were: Too big, nice cock, great fucker.

Too much information? Either way, one guy has a great butt. Played too much hockey back in his hey days, thus shaped his butt very well. Which is nice. I'd like to do it again with him.

Speaking of cock -- I just read GQ Magazine about the interview with Colin Farrell. He seems to enjoy flashing his cock during the production set of Oliver Stone's Alexander to a point where female workers would nickname him, "Cock-Out Colin".

The magazine asked him if it's well-hung, Colin cockteased, "People said it's hung, people said it's a peanut." Well ... I hate cockteasers ... and love 'em. They're amusing to deal with.

Sarah, yes, he has a sister -- Claudia. I read that among his favorite hangout at an Irish pub is in Williamsburg, Virginia -- which is about 35 miles east of my parents' home. I need to check it out eventually.

Sigh.

In 1953, John Steinbeck Got It Right

Am still reading the nonfiction book called "Only In New York" which Sarah gave it to me for my birthday.

On page 145, someone asked whether if the author John Steinbeck once worked in construction in New York. The New York Times answered that it is true and it also quoted what John Steinbeck said in 1953 which made me smile. After McConnell mentioned that he preferred New Mexico because of open space, majestic mountains, clean air and down to earth.

Nothing can beat New York.

Here is what he said in 1953: "New York is an ugly city, a dirty city. Its climate is a scandal, its politics are used to frighten children, its traffic is madness, its competition is murderous. But there is one thing about it -- once you have lived in New York and it has become your home, no place else is good enough. All of everything is concentrated here, population, theater, art, writing, publishing, importing, business, murder, mugging, luxury, poverty. It is all of everything. It goes all right. It is tireless and its air is charged with energy."

Bingo! He got it right.

Benis and I discussed that we felt very much safe here in New York than in the District because if I got mugged, someone is bound to witness this.

In a rural area, good luck.

Prelude To The Big Week

I saw a good quote in Beauty Bar, I think it reminds me of Amy Kurz:

"You look terrific!! Who's your embalmer??"

Some people wondered why I was vicious towards conservatives, Christians and Republicans. And they wondered why I decided to group them altogether. Well, to quote what one villain once told Professor Charles Xavier in one of X-Men books:

"Because I can!"

The manipulative groups in conservatives, Christians and Republicans waged a devastating battle that opened a huge rift between the peoples of all lives. Christians clamored about morals but always lied behind their backs. Republicans exploited fear in gullible people that gays will try to ban bibles. Conservatives concerned about themselves and themselves and themselves.

All these three groups played dirty, vicious and arrogant. And you expect moi, the one and only Ridor, to respect your opinion? Of course not, m'dear. I may be liberal, I may be Deist, but I'm very much fair person in terms of respect and dignity. When one tried to portray liberals as wimp, traitor or anti-American, the respect for you from me is gone.

9/11 happened ... for a reason. It is not about "them" attacking our "freedom". It is about them trying to get their own freedom by stopping us from supporting the tyrannical government. But no, people like Dale, Eve and McCock wants to keep driving SUVs. To them, it is the most important "freedom" of all.

So when someone asked me via e-mail to tone down with my rhetoric bashings on conservatives, Christians and Republicans. To coin a famous phrase from Larry, "Too fucking bad."

GOP had a debauchery of its own, Christians acted like it never happened. Many men who are Conservatives tend to cheat on their wives. Republicans are like that. I used to live in a small town in Virginia, went to the adult bookstore only to find few familiar figures wanking off in the booths, trying to solicit for sex with other men. Later, I saw them at the malls with their wives, preaching at the church, teaching at the school, work for the city to lobby against the gay rights ... but went back to the adult bookstore to fuck other guys. You can do that ... because you are Conservative, Christian and Republican. To me, I find it disgusting. I rather to lead an open life with a honest outlook -- and if that makes me a Liberal, then so be it.

But will I stop bashing 'em? NO, not until they stop first.

A long time ago, lots of Deaf people can hear a little but they preferred to call themselves Deaf. Even George Veditz can hear a little and speak well, but he called himself Deaf. I always rolled my eyes when people said, "No, I'm not Deaf, I'm hard of hearing."

"No, I'm late deafened."

"No, I'm not Deaf, just deaf."

"No, I'm hearing-impaired."

"No, I'm not gay but my boyfriend is."

You get the point here -- all of this is bullshit. It is to divide, not to unify. If you can hear a little, you are STILL fucking deaf.

According to the dictionary.com, deaf means: Partially or completely lacking in the sense of hearing.

See? Partially or completely lacking. Little or not, you are still deaf. Period. Case closed. Stop bullshitting around.
