It appears that there is a possible valentine link to three persons -- Republicans National Committee Chairperson Ken Mehlman, ex-TalonNews.com conservative reporter for White House Press Corps Jeff Gannon and White House Spokesman Scott McClellan.
Menage a trois? not my thing. But have fun, Ken, Scott and Jeff -- you guys are ugly and belonged to each other, though.
I hate Valentine's Day. I'm glad it is raining today.
Happy un-Valentine's Day!

Go Ahead, Smirk and Chuckle!
Remember Glenn Lockhart? Remember the infamous e-mail distribution at Gallaudet by Campus Activities (It used to be University Center) which Sharon Hayes was responsible of distributing the emails to all faculty, staff and students related to the campus events? Remember the infamous e-mail manufactured by Glenn Lockhart which pretty much wrote a message for anyone to join the "Gallaudet Pedophile Association" cookout at Hotchkiss Field which Glenn also mentioned not to bring kids as well? And Sharon did not read carefully -- she just pasted it and sent it to everyone else on the campus. That was the best email prank I ever had witnessed out of Gallaudet. I wonder if anyone else actually showed up at Hotchkiss Field on that "appointed hour"?
Alan Shore Pays For It! Watching Boston Legal was a good escape from reality for me tonight. Seeing Alan Shore paying hundreds of dollars just to start the bar brawl was hysterical. I would have done the same thing if I have that amount of cash, really.
Why Is That? When I go to a gay bar, I noticed something interesting. The bars TEND to be so dark and loud, it may present an obstacle for Deaf gay men to deal with hearing men because it is hard to lipread in the dark and so dark to read the notes, it becomes a chore, really. But for hearing on hearing, they tend to shout at each other ... or they often spoke to each other by their ears -- you can see their movements -- when one likes the other, he WILL step in and talk to his ear repeatedly more than 10 times, then he'll "accidentally" kiss his ear, then from there ... it's on the lips.
I find it unfair. I cannot do that with a hearing person. We had to move away from each other in order to sign something. By itself, it is sometimes unattractive, though. These hearing men who do that cheated their way to get some affections -- we had to do the hardest route. Totally unfair. But again, life is not fair.
Storn's Way: You know The Uncanny X-Men's main character called Storm? That gorgeous black woman with a long white hair? There are many comments that was uttered by Storm that I loved. One time, Storm, Psylocke and Colossus was teleported into the prison's cell with few imprisoned Genoshan soldiers. Storm grabbed one of these Genoshan soldiers and said, "We require the information that may aid us in reaching our teammates which your people kidnapped."
The solider uttered, "What makes you think that I will tell you about it, genejoke?"
Storm smiled but her eyes remained dead set on the soldier, "That word -- I do not like it, but who says that I am asking you for the information?"
Psylocke stepped in the frame as she telepathically entered the soldier's mind and snatched the information right out of him.
That was one cool dialogue.
Dawn of the Dead: I saw the parts of the movie that was re-made about the zombies killing and eating brains. The zombies fucking RAN like Hell. It is like seeing hundreds of Carl Lewis running loose. Even if you ran, they still run like Hell. And this movie is insane. Suffice to say, the ending part is not the classic All-American film.
Cheers,

The Stroller In The Subway
Last Friday, I was heading to Chelsea from my palace. Riding the subway is akin to watch a 30-min sitcom at times. However, it was during the rush hour when I headed down to Chelsea to meet someone else.
I learned that it is better not to bring a stroller into the subway during the rush hour (between 8 AM to 10 AM and 430 PM to 7 PM). Why? Here is what happened last Friday, the subway train was packed along with the stroller. Yes, the infant was in it with the mother doing the standard responsibility.
Time is imperative to the subway system, especially with the rush hours. Trains must come and go -- it simply must or the other trains will be late. And the commuters will not be happy if the trains are not coming and going immediately. That is the way it is goes for New York underground dwellers like us.
When the train arrived at 14 Street, I rushed to get out of the train as the crowd rushed to get out as well, some commuters on the platform pushed to get in the train as well. Courtesy is fine but not always necessary. The mother with the stroller apparently realized that she needs to get off at 14 Street, not somewhere else. She rushed to push the stroller out of the train as the doors rolled to shut -- but it slammed on the stroller -- I turned to see the infant laughing as the door kept on slamming on the stroller repeatedly -- but the lady kept on pushing it out.
The doors on the trains will keep "slamming" the doors until it is shut. So in this case, it slammed on the stroller repeatedly then finally it slammed on the mother's arms which she abruptly left the stroller off the train but apparently the conductor saw the stroller right off the train with the arms sticking out by the doors.
The conductor quickly opened the door enough to let the mother out. I then looked at the infant -- The infant was in giddy mood, perhaps the jolt it gets from the doors slamming on the stroller was something different for the stroller.
But it was bit scary for me -- but only in New York, my dear friends, only in New York!

To Go Boldly Where No One Has Gone Before
Had a talk with my roommate during the Lunner time, we talked about different things. Nice to have that, eh? However, we were talking about TV programs like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Xena and Stargate and how entertaining they were before the networks flushed these programs away.
Perlis mentioned about Star Trek: Enterprise, the tale that began right after the film, Star Trek, First Contact. She said that she learned that it will be cancelled and she wrote the email to UPN about it, here is their response:
Hello,
Thank you for writing to UPN. The STAR TREK legacy has spanned nearly four decades and has spawned five television series. Ten years ago, STAR TREK: VOYAGER was instrumental in helping launch UPN.
The latest incarnation, STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE, has reached the culmination of its journey. This painstaking decision came after it was recognized that despite having many loyal fans like you, the audience for the show was declining steadily. Therefore, ENTERPRISE is set to decommission and will be given a grand send-off on Friday, May 13th at 8 PM ET/PT on UPN.
This does not mean that STAR TREK is gone forever. Paramount, the studio that produced all five television series and ten feature films, is looking forward to the next chapter of the STAR TREK saga.
We know that this information may not make you feel any better but we want you to know how much we appreciate your input and we sincerely hope that you will continue to share your thoughts with us in the future.
Cordially,
UPN

I'm not a Trekkie fan but I enjoyed watching Enterprise than the others because it is bit realistic. Of course, I'd like to keep it going -- write a letter to the customer service and tell them to keep Star Trek: Enterprise. Told Perlis that I'll blog about it. So fans, can you imagine the TV without Star Trek? I can't. So let's do something about it. Maybe the power of blogosphere can save Star Trek!
Here is the instruction:
1. Click this UPN Website
2. Look for "Special Links" on your right column
3. 6 lines below "Special Links" reads: HAVE YOU SOMETHING TO SAY? Click it
4. Talk about Star Trek: Enterprise and save the program.

What To Do With VSDB?
There has been some intense moments about my alma mater in Staunton which the General ASSembly of Virginia Pricks has been working on what to do with VSDB's future. Close and move to Fishersville which is about 20 min east of Staunton in midst of nothing -- it seems to me that the General ASSembly wanted the deaf students to mingle with developmentally disabled, retards and physically-challenged folks at Woodrow Wilson Rehabilitation Center (WWRC) on a daily basis. How nice of them to think of us like that, is it?
Hey, folks, anything that is "different" from able-bodied of white trash that can speak, hear and see is not normal in Virginia -- but if you're deaf, blind, black or even gay, it's off to that location, really.
This is the message the General ASSembly wants to send to the world that Deaf people can function in a place with these 'tards!
There is another option is to consolidate both schools in Virginia and remain in Staunton which many Deaf alumni, students, staff, faculty and community leaders wanted -- where it has been running just fine since 1839, 22 years before the Civil War.
Here are four articles in Staunton News Leader.
VSDB amendments offered
Sic semper politicus
VSDB hopes still alive, Saxman says
A call for unity
All right, Here is a quote by Bill Sanger of Winchester on why VSDB should remain in Staunton, "Life near the school was also very beneficial, like walking to town, going to the movies, eating out, going to the library, and most of all going to the park to feed the animals and fish, these little things were very important to me while I was receiving my education at VSDB. These small things are present at Staunton and not at Fishersville."
He basically nailed on this subject. At 8 years old, I had a houseparent leading us by foot to the local park known as Gypsy Hill Park where we could play and feed the ducks. The houseparent did this because she wanted us to be familiar with the surroundings so that when we get lost, we know the way back to the campus. It was one of the most memorable things as a child to venture outside of the campus without the escort of my mother and father.
Later, when I was 10 or 11 years old, I was allowed to head out to Downtown to dine, read, see movies (no captions, go figure!) and to the park. At first, I go with two friends or so -- but when I gradually hit 12 or 13, I go on my own. I became familiar with the surroundings to a point where I know the city with my eyes closed.
I must admit that the most odd thing about my experiences growing up in Staunton is that I was able to befriend different hearing friends from different schools like Waynesboro, Buffalo Gap, Riverheads and Fort Defiance High Schools but certainly NOT Staunton's own Robert E. Lee High School -- perhaps they felt that they were a notch better than us? They were dumb, though. But Trey Scott was cute, though.
However, I think it played a role in my desire to live in bigger cities like New York.
I'm enclosing the aerial view of Staunton to give you the general idea of what VSDB is in its close proximity with Downtown Staunton.
Okay, the circle is self-explanatory, really. But look inside the circle.
1. That building used to be my first dormitory when I was in elementary and middle schools.
2. My dormitory when I was in junior high school
3. My dormitory when I was in high school -- the best dorm of all because it contains the mythical dramatic moments that I cannot forget.
You can see the red dot right above Mary Baldwin College, a privately-owned college for women -- that is where the Akens family lives. I always sneaked out to visit them from time to time. Miss 'em lots.
See the rectangular? That is Downtown.
See the star? That is Shenandoah Valley Club of the Deaf
See the square? That is Hardee's where I used to munch the char-broiled hot dogs with chili & onions. Ummm.
I have few issues with some administrators that runs the school -- they do it with the attitude that is more of "Let me help you" instead of "I want to educate you". I absolutely find it insulting and demeaning to my dignity. But it seemed to me that the school finally improved its attitude only to be wreck with the General ASSembly's desire to align us with 'tards.
But the cartoonist at Staunton News Leader said it eloquently with this portrait.

Just Saw This On Television
Viagra Question? Why is that there are many commercials during the men's basketball games that featured viagra, levitra and cialis? Did they research that the majority of basketball fans has erectile dysfuction? I want to know why they incessantly showed these commercials repeatedly?!
Who is Andy Osborn? Speaking of basketball, I saw Colorado's Andy Osborn. He's so cute. I quickly checked his photo on CuBuffs.com -- bad picture.
Wrong City, Wrong College J.J. Redick, a guard at Duke, is absolutely cute yet I *hated* the way he taunted the opposing fans. When he buried a faraway 3-point shot or did the impossible shot inside the paint using the acrobatic jump through the traffic, he would run across the court with his arms in the air as if he's flying. The reality was that he was *mocking* at the opposing fans, telling them that they cannot stop him. They will not be able to, period.
All in all, J.J. acted like 5 years old on the court after making these shots. I absolutely loved it but hated the fact that he played for Duke. I also hated the fact that he came from Roanoke, Virginia -- a town that I think do not deserved to be on any maps.
Is it only me that my gaydar went berserk each time I see him play? He is so pretty boy to be straight. The way he interacted with his teammates are ... questionable at its best.
But here are the pics for you guys to droll. He's gorgeous, is he? But the uniforms has to go, really.
J.J. Redick goes for a layup ... And taunting the world
Rush Limbaugh Saw him on TV doing some charity for golf tournament. He did not hide his cochlear implant. It looks hideous. Maybe he is not really a conservative -- maybe it was a device from something alien or something like Bush to tell the world the way it is from Rush's ramblings, eh?
Either way, I will not catch dead wearing cochlear implants. If you want to implant on your head so you can hear the birds barking and cats doing the hairball thing, more power to you. I'll stick to what I have right now.
Jose Canseco or MLB Players? Which do I believe the most? Jose Canseco who claimed that many MLB (professional baseball) players used steroids or MLB players who denied that it happened -- and that Jose made it up to make money. Who do I believe? I believe Jose.

That Was Not Me, Manny!
Last night, I saw a guy that looked like a guy I used to date -- Art. Yep, that is his name. Remember him, Chlms, Manny and Jason? When I saw him, I chuckled because a funny thing happened in his apartment during the Gay Pride Weekend in DC about 4 years ago.
Manny, Jason, Art and I along with few others partied 'til maybe 5 AM or 6 AM! Anyway, I neglected to inform Manny and others that Art's friends from North Carolina was "expected to arrive and will use that bed" in bedroom which can be seen from the living room.
Manny and others went to sleep. Art told me that we'll sleep on that bed until his friends arrive, then we move on the floor so they can sleep on the bed. I went along with it.
Eventually, I fell asleep. The couple came, woke us up and kicked us off -- I looked at them, the couple is one big guy (just like me) and one thin guy. I went back to sleep on the floor. About an hour later, Art woke me up and said to be quiet and look at the bed which is about 2 or 3 feet away from me. The big guy was on the top of this guy and was fucking him. I grinned then went back to sleep.
Little did I know that Manny who was sleeping in the living room happened to wake up and saw the fuck as well? He was horrified because he thought it was ME doing that to Art.
The next day at the Festival, Manny said, "You know that I saw you having sex with Art last night?"
I categorically denied it. He insisted that I did. I told him it was that couple, not me. I slept on the floor.
Today, he still thinks it was me.
Which is fine with me.
