This is ridiculous. I personally do not give a fuck if the NYPD or FDNY do their jobs, as long as they are paid by the taxpayers to serve and protect. There is a famous parade in New York, St. Patrick's Day Parade.
Since 1970s, the FDNY paraded through the streets of New York in their classy uniforms with green berets. The berets were made by a mother-in-law of a firefighter in early 1970s.
The FDNY Boss issued an order to prohibit anyone from wearing the green berets during the parade! Am I the only one who thinks it was silly? I thought it was cool of FDNY to wear something personal, something special.
Now some firefighters decided not to participate in the parade and they will wear green berets and sit on the stairs by the Museum of Metropolitan Art.
I think the FDNY Bosses have better things to do than to issue this order -- such as dealing with drunkards, rapists and violators inside the FDNY.
Jeez.

Few Thoughts About Star Wars
When I rode the subway train through its dark, rumbling tunnels, for some reasons, I visualize that it is a ship going through the hyperspace -- it arrives at some station, that was the destination when the hyperspace drive stopped. This often happened when I'm heavily buzzed or drunk.
Comparing New York on a daily basis with Star Wars is so easy. If you recall the scene in Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, there was a massive, white battleship (I forgot the name -- it looked like our cursor) sitting in the open space battling against the rebels, there was another smaller white battleship which exploded in the background -- the folks on the massive, white battleship did not flinch nor react to the explosion. It is same with New York when someone got hit by a car, most people do not react. They just mind themselves and move on.
You know, I like to compare everything -- the Episode I to III where Senator Palpatine used the diversions outside of Coruscant as a distraction for the good guys to deal with while Senator Palpatine steered himself to the throne as Emperor Palpatine.
This reminds me of GW Bush. Iraq and Al Qaeda are the diversions. Republicans are the Siths, Democrats are the Jedis. Senator Palpatine is GW Bush. Osama bin Laden can be compared with the Federation who tried to terrorize Naboo. Osama bin Laden supplanted Bush with plenty of excuses to hold the empire for himself, and simultaneously turned on the honest people like liberals, libertarians, Democrats and so on.
Good thing, we knew how it ended in Episode VI.

A Town Named Laurent
I finished reading the Minneapolis Star-Tribune newspaper about the plans to set up a town of signers between Mitchell and Sioux Falls. It'd be a town filled with people who can sign to each other.
I wonder how they react if I want to set up a bar in Downtown Laurent? I'll admit that Laurent is not going to be a big town of more than 10,000. Let's say that having a gay bar in a rural town is not going to beneficial. What i meant is a bar that is owned by gay person and the bar is open to anyone else. Tolerance and acceptance is a must. That means what? If a guy kisses a guy, no problem in the bar at all.
You want to have a meeting about Jesus? Go to Salem.
Is it possible? I wonder ... Rayni, care to ask Marvin for me?

Why I Love The Simpsons
Last week, I watched The Simpsons -- it rocks for more than 15 years and I still wuv it!
Ned Flanders, the X-ian Dad of two future fags in the making, talked about how wrong the evolution is and that the creation is the truth. The younger kid asked, "You know, Dad, Cain killed Abel! Since he is the only boy in the world other than Adam, did he sleeps with his mother, Eve to procreate?"
Ned said, "Silence! You do not question the book!"
Very true. But you gotta question -- did Cain fuck his Mommy? Or what?
Come to think of this -- I preferred the idea that Adam was with Steve because we wouldn't have to deal with Cain & Eve at all. Which one do you prefer -- Cain & Eve or Adam & Steve? Incest vs. gay -- which one do you have to choose?

A Film and A Trailer
Thanks to DowntownLad, I was able to view the trailer of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. I'm speechless. It looked FANTASTIC! Very bleak, very scary and very inevitable! Check this out!
You know, when I was a kid, my first memory of walking into a movie theater with no captions was none other than Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. My hearing brother, Billy Jr seems to thrive off on Darth Vader's melancholy behavior. He cheered when Darth Vader killed Obi-wan Kenobi.
Now, I think Star Wars is the modern but greek tragedy story, though.
Can't wait for it to come out with a bang. Maybe in my lifetime, we'll see Episode VII, VIII and IX!
Today, I went to Surdus' place to loiter and watch a movie, I Heart Huckabees. It has been a long time that a film managed to make me laugh throughout the film. Lily Tomlin, Dustin Hoffman and Jude Law were great. Not only that, Mark Wahlberg looks so good as ever. In fact, in the film, he seems to be very intelligent, funny, handsome, and all that. And an incredible motormouth. I love the scene where he totally ripped his daughter about the Indonesian children in sweatshops. Hilarious. "You wearing the shoes that were manufactured by kids in the dark, hot sweatshops for only $1.60 per day and they will be blind."
His daughter wailed. He did it to aggravate his ex, this is a film that all conservatives, Republicans and X-ians should watch and evaluate themselves in the process.
Great film.
Now I want to see The Incredibles. It's out on sale. I'd like to buy one. Donate me one, will you?

Bernard Ebbers Is Audist
Bernard Ebbers, the former Chief Executive Office of WorldCom, was convicted of engineering the largest corporate fraud totaled more than 11 billion dollars today in New York.
He will be sentenced to the prison for as long as 85 years.
Pretty much, he is the typical hearie you'd see on a daily basis. To top it all, he is practicing audism which is pretty much permissible in the hearing world.
Among the excerpts that he made during the trial was:
"Let me ask you something -- am I talking too loud? Deaf people have a tendency to talk too loud."
Thank God Bernard Ebbers is going to rot in the prison.

M3+L1 = Disaster in South Beach
I was horrified to learn that M3 (Mark, Merritt and Manny) in addition with L1 (Lee) are descending to South Beach for the Spring Break this week.
South Beach is not prepared to handle the chemistry of M3L1. I wish I could be there to observe how the town handled 4 dynamic persons to wreck the town.
Hell, the weight of 4 persons arriving SoBe may be too much for them as Florida will finally snap into the ocean.
Have fun blitz the SoBe, Mark, Merritt, Manny and Lee. Be sure, do not take any prisoners.
