Am I OK?

I got a permission to showcase one more picture of Grand Teton, which was photographed by Jim Zuckerman. This is great picture, is it? Jim Zuckerman also has a photography website.



Anyway, went to Web's parents' Wine n Cheese party, very nice. It was good to see Web's brother. He looked much cuter than ever. At first, I did not recognize him because of his massive haircut. I teased about the septic tank thing, it is an inside joke. Sorry, guys.

After that, I thought of going to a gay bar for a drink because I hadn't been out to a gay bar in weeks. Off to Pieces and I ended up having fun moments with Chad.

Then last night, with another guy.

I don't know if I'm normal or not. Two guys in a row in the same weekend -- must be a record for me to be assertive to chat with hearing boys.

Oh, by the way, I did *not* go to their homes, I do not do that stuff, though. And so do they, I think we are better than the most. In the process, they just asked me to call/email as "soon as can be, please" when we parted. Of course, after few kisses.

That should be a good sign. I think.

Ridor's Bitch Session I

This was sent to me via e-mails and IMs under the agreement that I will *not* reveal who's who -- basically, ANYONE (even YOU) ELSE can e-mail or IM me to bitch at someone else, I'll simply copy and paste it! Up next is March 4, 2005!

* * *

"Today i woke up and decided to bitch at... RIDOR" just simply cuz you screwed up like always and wasnt able to come this weekend.

Gallaudet you are in, Graduate you will this May, and Golly gee you are...

Raymond Merritt's ass is great, is it? Nearly impossible NOT to look at it!

Little things and big things that go wrong, you assume they are all about you.

Why is that when I tell a hearing person that I'm Deaf, he then yelled at me up close in my face. I repeated the information that I cannot hear. He then moved himself to my ear and shouted again! Honey, please do not spray your germs on my ears.

"Why do this happen to me?" when WTC came down and you had NO relatives or friends working there.

Being narcissitic will not make you popular, Melissa!

"They hate me!" when you found out that a lot of soldiers were sent to Iraq.

"How could that happen to me?" When Pro-war protest marches occured in Washington D.C, and you ARE for the war.

Why did Dana Sipek go back to Bren Stern after what he did to her?

"How could they do that to me?" Everytime friends got fed up with your drama pouting and crying for more than months and years, which ruined several friends' birthday parties, homecomings, dinners out, and even relationships due to your infamous sulking.

Mother in Law from the Hell – Being a spoiled brat will not get you anywhere and watch your mouth – your mouth needs to be cleaned.

You agreed to help many lesbian women to get pregnant by donating semen, but then turned around to say "only by real intercourse."( I changed his quote)

Believing in onself to be perfect is often the sign of a delusional mind. This is for Kurzetard and McCock!

You smiled when there was no birth control used between you and a woman, she got pregnant,and you pouted when she aborted it. "Why couldn't she keep the baby? I could take care of it!" (unemployed, having no place to live, no health insurance, nothing!)

wtf is it with letting scientists restore small animals' hearing? we're next, fuckwads! pay attention!

Vagina! Vagina! Vagina! See? The sky is not falling down if you sign "vagina" in public. C'mon, say it with a smile on your face. If you do not like it, why marry a woman?

We all ask.. WHEN will you GET over that the world is NOT about you and being selfish will lose you friends if not already done! We have been there for you for months and years, giving you support, but we are wising up that you're using us for theatre practice.

A pet peeve is when idiots come up to me and tell me how smart they are and yet they don't really understand much. Not saying I'm smart, just annoys me to see idiots who think they are smarter than everyone else.

Did you notice that Kenton Twidt asked practically almost EVERYONE ELSE except for gays for a blowjob?

Matthew Kohashi comes to mind ... Know him? He was a huge KG asskisser ... You know the type ... I feel llke saying "so u made it on ur 4th try. Congratulations ... You're an inspiration to people to never give up."

I am sick and tired of those fake "friends" who invite you to go out for coffee or want to do something with you and then they never follow through.

Anthony Adamo, we all know why you're at gally- you're a small fish who cant live in a big pond. You're HEARING and yet you cant make it to the hearing world. Tsk, tsk. And we all know what you did to a few deaf girls. Get the fuck out of here.

Second Star On Right And Straight To Jackson Hole!

Today I turned on PBS and guess who came on? Postcards from Buster. Buster was visiting Jackson Hole! O-boy, you do not know how I feel about Jackson Hole. I quickly was tickled pink. I love this place.

My close friends knew that I have a special place in my heart for Jackson Hole, a town right next to the majestic Grand Teton National Park. It was said that during the Lewis & Clark Expedition, Lewis & Clark sent John Cotler on the South Fork of Missouri River which led into Yellowstone where John saw the "devil's fountain" and Tetons mountains.

John eventually returned to meet Lewis & Clark and described the stuff that he saw, Lewis & Clark thought he was crazy. That "devi's fountain" is now known as the geysers of Yellowstone. Later, when they returned to St. Louis, John Cotler got an urge to return to the Teton Mountains. He did and he was never found again.

I drove to Jackson Hole in '98 and when I set my eyes on Grand Teton for the first time, it simply overwhelmed my senses. I had to park the car and sat on the hood of the car to absorb everything. Grand Teton is simply amazing place to stay. I personally thought Yellowstone was overrated but ... maybe it is because I came to the place about 5 years after the fires?

The town of Jackson is pretty much reserved for rich people. It has Gap, Banana Republic and Old Navy -- which contradicts many small towns of less than 10,000 that does not have these stores. I stayed in a hostel and met some cool folks. I spent 5 days instead of two days in Jackson Hole.

When I left Jackson Hole, I felt an emptiness. A void. I finally understood what John Cotler meant by that. He had to return or die trying.

When I flew to Seattle with Toby, in '01, we were leaving Denver en route to Seattle -- somehow, I felt a turbulence on the plane. I turned to look outside of the window. I saw Grand Teton standing proudly as ever. It is as if the spirits acknowledged that I was passing by. I quikcly told Toby about it, Toby rolled his eyes and said, "Whatever!"

It is no secret that someday I want to buy a home in Jackson Hole as 2nd home, of course.


Grand Teton Waiting For Me

Who's Drunk Now?

When I was in DC, I read The Washington Post which it mentioned that on Route 50 between Annapolis and Bowie, Maryland -- a flock of birds feasted on berries which they were drunk and flew too low into the traffic of Route 50.

Many birds were killed or injured as lots of birds collided with trucks and cars during the evening rush hours.

Lots of people were baffled to know why hundreds of birds are dead.

Later, they said it is because they were drunk.

Apparently, it happened again in Columbia, South Carolina.

Gives a new meaning of Eat, Don't Fly, eh?

Chicago, Beware!

My friend in Chicago is busy getting ready to move to Downtown Chicago. He showed me the pics of his apartment which probably has the best view of Chicago skyscrapers. I'm completely in awe of that place.

Have fun in settling down in the apartment and be mesmerized with the best view of Chicago.

Here are two pics of Chicago from their new apartment -- wow!

Chicago, Here I come!
Hey, be sure to prepare me a cot when I come in town, willja?

Cheers,

After Seeing "Deaf Mute", I Stopped Reading The Article

Michelle Malkin wrote an article in NY POST called The UN Rape Club. Malkin is well-known for her conservative beliefs on her blogsite, often ranting and ripping the Liberals or anyone who questioned the government -- I won't be surprised that Malkin would consider anyone else who questioned the government to be terrorists.

Each time, I saw or read her name, I always rolled my eyes and snickered as well. But this article seems to be interesting until I reached 5th paragraph. She said, "... -- including the 15-year-old deaf mute daughter of ..."

That was a major turn-off for me. Especially for Deaf people who fought hard to remove the stigma of "deaf-mute" and "deaf and dumb" within the media. This young woman should know better than to call us "deaf-mute". That word is an insult, tantamount to a n-word for African Americans! How long will it takes for us to finally get through their "media barriers" that these words are inappropriate.

I guess if it is OK for her to call us "deaf-mute", and I think it is OK for me to call her a "gook" as well? You tell me.

The Best Gay Joke

Two gay men decide to have a baby. They mix their sperm, then have a surrogate mother artificially inseminated. When the baby is born,they rush to the hospital. Two dozen babies are in the ward, 23 of which are crying and screaming.

One, over in the corner,is smiling serenely. A nurse comes by, and to the gays' delight, she points out the happy child as theirs.

"Isn't it wonderful?" Brad exclaims. "All these unhappy children, and ours is so happy."

The nurse says, "He's happy now. But just wait until we take the pacifier out of his ass."
