Third Day

Ahh. I'm still crippled. If you saw me limping around the town, that is me. I personally suspected that I may have a minor ligament tear in my left knee. The reason why I suspected is because it kept on happening again and again.

Last night was relatively quiet night for all of us because we were largely exhausted from the fiasco on Thursday night. So we took it easy on ourselves and my dying knee.

Right now, Toby, Mikey, Wittig, Marby and I am staring at something in a bedroom right across from Toby's bedroom which is on 2nd floor. We are staring at a guy jerking off to the porn tape. The window is about 10 feet away from Toby's bedroom. All of us are enjoying the voyeurism. In fact, others are still upstairs watching the guy doing his nature's wonders.

The picture is grainy and bit dark -- but you can get the idea.

Stroke It, Baby!

Of course, Wittig wrote this on Toby's fridge two days ago, of course I responded.



Cheers,

Last Night

Last night, as expected, drama ensued.

Had a good time with Jess, Wittig, Toby, Mikey, Marby and Manny at Green Lantern. Then we went to The Fireplace's for an hour. I chatted with the bartender whom I am quite fond of when I used to live in DC -- and God, she still remembered my favorite drink!

Met another blogger. His address is in my jeans' pocket somewhere in Toby's bedroom. I'll mention it later, he has a cute boyfriend.

Then we went to The Apex where drama continued. And my left knee gave away ... again. I was trying to get away from the crowd that seemed to mirred with shoves and pushing. Then suddenly, my left knee was too slow (maybe IT was drunk) to turn left and I crashed on the floor, tossed my drink on the crowd. It was evident that I was drunk because I was concerned about not finishing the drink more than my left knee and the crowd that my drink landed on.

And today, I'm nursing the sprained knee.

Only first night of 4, already I got injured. Go figure.

Carrie's Comments for Kurzetard

I got a request via the email from Carrie who felt that Kurzetard was defaming her character and reputation repeatedly without allowing her to defend herself at all. She asked me to publish this so that others will have an opportunity to read her comments on Kurzetard's obsession.

I personally knew Kurzetard's antics, she is not what you'd define as a good person to trust. She is manipulative person. So it is easy to see why people asked me to post their comments to defend themselves from her accusations and lies. And I like to think that I'm rational and good person -- I feel that there are many people who were ambushed by the Kurzs, something has to be done -- the Kurzs will be exposed for their manipulations with many people in some states.

Slander

n 1: words falsely spoken that damage the reputation of another 2: an abusive attack on a person's character or good name [syn: aspersion, calumny, defamation, denigration] v : charge falsely or with malicious intent; attack the good name and reputation of someone; "The journalists have defamed me!" "The article in the paper sullied my reputation" [syn:

Amt Kurz, I am so very tired of this banter. This will be the final rebuttal to any of your ridiculous, untrue comments.

First I would like to start off by informing you of what slander REALLY means. Above is the definition. Take special note of the words, "falsely", and "good name". Nothing I have said (or Christina for the matter) is false, nor do you have a good name. The only "slanderous" comments is informing the Deaf Community in Cedar Rapids not to use me as an interpreter. (which by the way my attorney is especially intrigued by, you are not the only person in the world who can"jpeg") Also that I would have ever sexually harass you. I have spoken to every member of the staff and asked them if I have ever come across in this manner and they all seem to think your nuts. I also find it very funny that you have a meeting with Human Recourse managers, principals and other "higher ups" knowing prior that they are going to ask you to leave. Instead you jump the gun, go into the meeting and give your 2 week notice. (which is why Christina said "run away") Following this meeting you come out to find that NONE of the rest of the staff thinks what you did was cool, so to get yourself out you make up some crazy story about me harassing you. ( I also wanted to inform you that when this was brought to my attention, the exact words used were "this is what was said.... we find no merit in her allegations) Following this meeting NOTHING was said to you at all. You didn't like that you looked so stupid making this crap up so you left. I think you need to start taking responsibility for your own actions and stop pushing things off onto other people.

Now I find no pleaser (unlike you) trying to make others feel bad about themselves. Call it a high self-esteem. However, you know nothing about me. I have a mother, I have friends that I have had since I was 5 years old. I do not use drugs (unlike you) and I take large pride in mothering my son. I do have breast implants. I do own a tanning bed. I do have a mole on my face. I do have a fiancé who loves me. I did put myself through college. I have a brother who is a homosexual. I have 1 mixed nephew and 2 mixed nieces. This is the way I choose to run my life.

You. Have no friends, that I am aware of. You do use drugs on a daily basis before going to your job, covering up the pot smell in various ways. (or at least you did here) You are not such a great mother. (at least that is what you told me yourself, in regards to your children and there behavior at school) You had your boobs reduced, and love to show people pictures of it. You are no where near tan. You have a husband that drinks and puts your entire family in danger, MORE THAN ONCE. You went to college and have many stories of women loving you and wanting to beat up your husband so you will date them. But you are prejudice against anyone who is gay, hearing, or of any other color than you. Tell me something do you lock you car door when a black person walks by, or do they have to be gay also?

I could go on and on about you and your hypocritical way of life, but I HAVE things to do. So I will just conclude by saying.... Amy no one likes you at Arthur. Not a one person. You have either pissed them off by something you said, or did. But the big reason is the way you treated the student you aided. You were abusive. Was it the drug use?

Get your own life and leave mine alone. By the way, Christina is married, has a child and does not work in a bar. Get it right next time. You make yourself look so stupid. The emails you post on your blog have the names blocked because they are not from anyone at Arthur. Why if they worked with me would they call me "that damn lady"?

Thanks, Carrie

A Response to Deborah Gideon

Here is my response to Deborah Gideon of Pepper Pike, Ohio who wrote this to People magazine, dated May 23, 2005:

Hear Say

Has activist Marvin Miller lost more than just his hearing in "Building a Town for the Deaf"? Through the miracle of the cochlear implant, my deaf child lives in the world of hearing. Deafness is not a culture but a disability. Miller gives new meaning to the expression "deaf and dumb".

Spoken like a true retard, is she?

Deborah, this world is not hearing. It is not deaf's, either. It is the world for everyone else. It belonged to each of us. Obviously, you did not research or listen to understand something -- Marvin Mille is not attempting to set a town for Deaf people, he is attempting to establish a town for SIGNERS. People who uses sign language.

After all, this is the United States of America -- the land of opportunity -- we do not have to conform to your absurd ideals of normalcy, Deborah. Your vision of normalcy is barbaric, demeaning and unnatural for us who uses the sign language on a daily basis.

Your beliefs that cochlear implants is a miracle is misplaced at its best. It indicated that you will do anything to "hearize" your child in order to make it "un"Deaf -- honey, it won't work. Even you already identified your child as Deaf before anything else -- he'll be always Deaf first. You may attempt to "hearize" your child, but your child eventually will abandon you for our world where s/he can be appreciated by people who knew hir frustrations and struggles. It has been like that for hundreds of years. The cochlear implants will *not* make a dent in the Deaf Community, it will terrorize and dissipate -- like oralism, hearing aids and all that shit.

According to the dictionary.com, culture is:

The totality of socially transmitted behavior patterns, arts, beliefs, institutions, and all other products of human work and thought.

We have a language, our sets of customs, arts, beliefs, institutions et al and your point is irrelevant. Deaf culture is a culture as much as it is tied with disability, like it or not.

But you're just retard, bigot and ignorant who wanted to normalize something that is not even there in the first place, Deborah.

Do I expect you to reason? Of course not, because you are typical hearie to start with.

It is 7:43 PM

I'm in Washington, DC at Tobes' Palace, eating the dinner. Then we will crash Green Lantern, The Fireplace and the Apex, just for the heck of it.

I needed that!

My god, Marby is here! This will guarantee the massive drama tonight somewhere in DuPont Circle since Marby is with Mikey and Toby. I'll enjoy the show.

'Black Girl'

In Waxahachie, Texas -- 219 miles north of Houston (where this nutty conservative blogger, Rhymes With Right resided), there was an incident that the high school tried to downplay this as a "mistake".

What happened is that there was a picture for a group who were selected by the National Honor Society. The pictures indicated that everyone in the group is white trash, except for one black girl. But don't worry, each white trash was identified with a name, the black girl was named ... 'Black Girl'.

The school said that it was meant to put as "a placeholder" in order to identify the student's name before printing the yearbook. They did not identify at all and got the yearbook printed THEN distributed to the student body. The school board immediately issued an apology to the family.

But either way, why did they use that term "Black Girl"? It is a tone of racism, "That black girl".

The apology is questionable, since the media is involved. "If it was a placeholder, why would you put that?" Shadoyia Jones asked. "Anything else would have worked for me but that."

But again it is in Texas! What do you expect out of this state that always challenged and resisted the nation of its rapid changes. It wanted to retain the sense of balance, the sense of oppression, the sense of superiority. That is Texas!

And Greg, the Texan conservative blogger, did not blog about it. Greg always blogged lots of things related to liberalism and/or democrats when it comes to bad stuff but when his conservatives and party controlled this, he went silent. Or he thought it was not important subject to deal with it. After all, he liked the idea of being above than the other races, eh?

If you look at many things in the last 20 years, Texas seemed to produce many horrible events. Enron. GW Bush. Racism. Environment. Education. Gay rights. Many more.
