This is one freaky article. Burke said this reminds him of Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi Jabba the Hutt's pet, Salacious Crumb. I agreed. Too eyesore for me to keep in my househould if I have one.
And it won three times in 3 years. Amazing feat. Now, please die.
Hat tip to Burke for showing me the article.

A Message To Folks Who Did This to London
Who the fuck do you think you are, folks?
This is London. A town that has been up and running for the last 2,000 years. It has been attacked by many groups including Germany's Nazis and Irish Republican Army and guess what? London still runs today.
London does not shoot back, when someone bombed them, the people became determined and resolve to deal with it.
I do not care who did it -- some accused the Al-Qaeda, some accused the others -- bombing on London and its people never work. Look at the history of London -- it always wins. It will lick its wounds and come out on the top -- as always.
Londoners, drink some for me at these pubs. And party hard -- pile the damned alcohol in yourselves. After all, this is London!
That is why I loved London.
Oh, yeah, this may be a turning point for all of us. If the bombings are perpetuated by Al-Qaeda, you can bet that the Britons will find Osama Bin Laden in a swift manner whereas the Bush Administration and the United Statea Armed Forces cannot find him. The Britons do not like unfinished businesses, they finish it ... fast and effectively. Unlike us.

Home Is What It Is All About
Gotta Love Scare Gus! A while ago, Gus alerted me that his mother drove by our apartment and saw two men inside our place on a day that neither of us were at home. That freaked me and Gus out. Today, I got home with a sense of anticipation to discover the place in shambles after the burglary incident.
When I entered the apartment, nothing was taken away. Not at all. I checked every room and much to my delight, nothing was taken away. I sat down and typed the email to Gus to notify him of good news. But I did not address like this. I wrote "Bad news" on the subject line.
Then in the body, I wrote: "Nobody wanted your DVD player, flat widescreen TV, Sorenson Videophone, your computer, my stuff and your bedroom stuff -- because you are so cheap."
I was going to add that his mother was on crack or something. But I decided against it.
Gus fired back, "DO NOT EVER SAY 'BAD NEWS' ON THE SUBJECT LINE -- I NEARLY DIED OF HEART ATTACK!"
Gotta love scarying guys like that once in a while.
Gordon Is Idiot: Last night, I met Gordon at Cobalt Bar. For your information, Gordon is imbecile, simply put. Gus and I was talking about a particular hearing guy across the room when we saw Greg dismissing Gordon's claims and signed, "You're full of shit, Gordon!"
It turns out that Gordon claimed that he saw Gus and I talking about us planning to have one night stand or something like that. I exclaimed to Greg that he is absolutely correct when it comes to crap like that. Gordon, get a life. You may know signs, but you cannot read anyone's signs worth a shit. So fuck off.
Where Is Ruarc & Patti?!: I rarely see RJ online -- I gotta slap him once in a while and maybe fuck him in the ass just to make him squirm and laugh like a fucking hyena. I love the way RJ laughed -- it reminds me of The Lion King's nutty hyena who does not know how to instigate a laugh or a cry over insignificant things but RJ is pretty cute and good guy.
As for Patti Raswant, I miss her company. I desperately want to get in touch with her in order to get together with her during the RAD 2005 Conference on July 14 - 24. Don't you think she's gorgeous even with the fact that she's over 45?
In this picture, I was pledging for Alpha Sigma Pi fraternity, Jaime Lugo was feeding me with food and drinks whereas I fed Gerardo on my left, it was fun. I found this picture -- did not know that RJ was behind me and Patti was smirking at our pledges' antics.
Oh, yeah, Ruarc is RJ. Too bad, he's heterosexual prick.
One of the Great Pictures: In 1998, Gallaudet celebrated the Tenth Anniversary of Deaf President Now Movement (DPN). IN its last bash, practically everyone went to the DPN Gala at the Washington Grand Hyatt Hotel -- suffice to say, everyone had a good time. It was surreal watching the students mingling with the faculty and staff on a leisurely manner. It was this particular party that Adrian told me he liked me and wondered if I could dye my hair white just for him. Of course, I said NO!
Then someone asked me and my fraternity brothers to pose up -- which is something I'm not a fan because I always looked awful in these craps. But this one happened to be good one, I think. Oh, yeah, Adrian is Roger's twin brother.
When I Win, I Gloat! It was reported that Dale Patterson is now retreating to lick his wounds after I trashed him on my blog of his antics on me and others. From what I understood someone else, he is staying away from the "internet" because of hurtful slurs that was directed at him. Good riddance, fatso tubbo.
This picture where a group of soccer players in the UCLA uniforms were celebrating the national championship by pulling an upset over heavily favored Virginia Cavaliers -- you can see Virginia's Sam Franklin trying to compose himself and could not believe that the upstarts had stole the show. You can see the guys behind Sam Franklin cheering, gloating and so on. Sometimes I can feel for Sam, sometimes I can feel for the guys in blue uniforms. It's all about the moods when I am in one.
I Quarterback And Push Others: Two nights ago, Tabby and I had a discussion about how things turned out the way I prophesied. Even to many people's chagrins, things eventually ended up the way I predicted it would be. Be it sex, life, politics and all that shit. Some even went as far as to hate me for that, some probably became loyal friends with me, some just stood and observed the antics of mine from distance. Tabby also mentioned things were "bored" in the District without me around to push people's buttons. Like Helmuth said, "It is DEAD here without you!"
I think they can make it lively if they used the right matches to lit the firecrackers, simply put. Sometimes I feel like Mike Winiecki, the guy behind the guy who dribbled the basketball across the court. You see, Mike Winiecki does not like to lose a game, he knew he cannot win games for himself by scoring all points -- instead of losing, he pushed his players to play on his level so they can win. AT his own game.
As you already saw the picture, try to visualize how it works with me and my peers, I push my friends and try to pull them to play on my level the way it works for me. Why? Because it is fun ... this way.
Mike Winiecki rocked my hormones when I was in high school. Too bad he's heterosexual living his dream with some bimbo and few kids running loose.
Cheers,

Is Tom Cruise Gay?
I heard different stories about Tom Cruise. Each time, I am convinced that he is gay. But more of Roehmosexual than Gay, really.
I knew of a Deaf acquaintenance in Los Angeles who swears that he was picked up by Tom Cruise's bodyguard after Tom handpicked him to the bodyguard at The Abbey. Even his best friend colloborated on this story. He went on to say that Nicole Kidman knew all about it.
I do not know whether to believe it or not.
But there has been accusations by few people at different times -- they suddenly vanished after Cruise unleashed his own group of lawyers to snuff out the "rumors" or "innuendos" regarding Cruise's sexuality.
Now with the bizarre relationship between him and Katie Holmes, this article is certainly interesting thing to check out.

506 L Street, NE
Last Saturday morning on my way to see the Newmans, I walked by the bright-but-dull blue-colored house with 506 imprinted on the mid-roof just above the porch. A lot of flashbacks.
kaybee, Perlis, defBef, Dylan, Jake, Wil, Otis, Tammy, Chanda, Nathan, Erik, Manny, Boucher, Casler, Wilkinson and many more.
My first 'Shroom trip occurred in that place. The drunkard Youens, in her bizarre sense, decided she wanted to sit on my birthday cake which was made by Patti Raswant when I was tripping on 'Shroom.
I remembered Erik complaining to me that he has to endure watching the "ENON BAPTIST CHURCH" right across the street from his bedroom while he was getting fucked by a guy. He had no curtains.
I remembered Manny decorating his bedroom with tree limbs all over the ceiling. Creepy.
I remembered Chanda asking me to verify about something on Erik's sphincter.
I remembered Erik going berserk and destroy the coffeetable by picking it and toss it back on the floor, caused four legs to go out -- hysterical.
I remembered rubbing a guy's tummy when he was lying on the floor under the car (I could not see his face) -- I thought it was Wil whom has been tolerant of my antics, but this guy was not even Wil! I turned beet red.
I remembered so many instances, bad and good, out of this 506 L Street. I lived a block away from this on K street but I admitted that I frequented the place as much as can be.
Friends who were at 506 L Street, NE -- please do share your memories.

DC's NE Is In Progress
The Neighborhood of Northeast: It delighted me to know that I can walk on M Street in NE around midnight from the new Metro station (Florida Avenue/Gallaudet U Metro Station) to my friend's place on 10th Street NE. I noticed that the neighborhood, well known for its poor ghetto, is going through the gentrification process that uplifts the look of the area. One by one, the houses are becoming the houses that I wanted to live in. Which I could not say that about 10 years ago. Well done, Washingtonians. And yes, it is not complete -- it is work in progress.
Graystorm & Co.: Last Sunday night, I bumped into the fellow bloggers in Billy Kekua and Larry along with the assortments of KT, Don, Lee, Manny, Merritt, Jason and so on. It was good to see them once again. We cracked jokes and all that. Later, KT and Larry left. A cute guy who turned out to be Iranian flirted with me -- his name is Xerxes. Bizarre name -- I cannot imagine saying, "Oh, Xerxes!" But he has gorgeous eyes.
Oh, yeah, at that bar, Manny and I 005ed at two hearies for being so rude and abrasive. It was hysterical.
July 4th Fireworks: Thanks to Lee, Jason and I totally missed the fireworks -- we could barely see the fireworks from distance. But again, who wants to deal with the crowds on the Mall? Certainly not me. So off to DuPont Circle we went. We barhopped a lot. Went to The Fireplace's -- learned that Marb(t)y Bonales and someone else are banned from entering the bar due to the fiasco that they caused last month during the Memorial Day Weekend. Oh, can you say, "Not my problem!"??
Travis, Nathan and I: We went to Ben's Chili Bowl and had a great time munching these chili dogs and cracked jokes about everything else in the progress. Travis and Nathan are my fraternity brothers. Nathan is Mormon and yes, he's gorgeous to look at. I joked to Travis in front of Nathan that caused Nathan to go beet red as I said, "Travis, you know, there is something about Mormons that I want to hump -- I really can't wait to go to Salt Lake City in 2007 just to checkmark one Mormon off my list."
Suffice to say, Nathan turned and grinned so hard. Typical Mormon smile.
Then Travis and I had the funniest conversation which we nearly died of dehyderation -- it is about Mt. Rainier's glaciers, I told him that I learned that 14 out of 20 glaciers in Lower 48 states are on the Mt. Rainier's slopes. I told Travis, "If Mt. Rainier decided to explode, the glaciers could hurl itself through the skyscrapers in Tacoma and Seattle."
Travis chortled, "The Bush Administration will announce that the glaciers are terrorists and that by all means, we shall hunt down the glaciers and destroy them before they disrupt the American Way!"
I chortled, "Eco-terrorists!"
Travis laughed, "Y-E-S! Bush probably will try to bomb the glaciers all over the world but the glaciers escaped! Then he will address the nation that the glaciers escaped by melting! But next time, they won't melt."
So the absurd conversations ricocheted from me to Travis on how Bush would react to the glaciers being the eco-terrorists. That's why I enjoyed hanging out with Travis because we could keep up saying ridiculous things until the end.
Movies, Movies and Movies: Resident Evil: Apocalypse is interesting film. I noticed that it was filmed in Toronto. Boogeyman is scary. Meet The Fockers is okay -- it is overrated one! I finally saw Reign of Fire, it could be better. Matthew McC ... I cannot spell his last name, though -- when he took his shirt off and shaved his head and tried to jump onward to the male Dragon which ate him in a swift manner, he was sexy. OH, well, it lasted few seconds before he was eaten alive.
RAD Mess: I heard that a certain professor from Gallaudet travelled to Europe , he is encouraging people not to buy $350 combo ticket for RAD Conference -- only to select few ones -- as the means to boycott the RAD Board and CMRA Committees for their shitty efforts to reach the registrants. How did I know? I have a friend in Amsterdam who bumped in this fella and he was telling my friend and others not to cash in $350 combo ticket.
I also found a place to stay for 7 days for free. I shall have the access to the Internet and all that -- I shall live-blog during the week of Rainbow Alliance of the Deaf 2005 Conference.
3 more friends of mine decided not to go to RAD 2005 Conference because they lacked the sufficient information. It is getting bad, folks.
I Saw Gus English: I saw him at Cobalt last night. He looked cuter when he gained some pounds. Back then, he was like a pencil. Now he is cute. Umm ...
Tabitha Is Cool: Last night, we went to I Siam, a Thai Cuisine on 8th Street SE by Massachusetts Ave SE next to Blockbuster Video. Pad See Eew is delicious. It was always good to see Tabby. I'm glad that she is coming up to Philadelphia this weekend, then I'll come down to DC next week for RAD 2005 Conference.
It should be fun and exhilarating.

7.3.05 Tidbits
A Leap In Progress: In Santa Fe, New Mexico where the New Mexico School for the Deaf is located in, I knew of a couple who complained that the school is bit too tolerant and liberal for their children to attend. When I heard of this, I quickly got in touch with someone else in Santa Fe to get confirmation. And it was confirmed that it did happen and it was no big deal.
At the high school graduation ceremony, the valedictorian mentioned that she thanked her "partner" or "lover" for her support, endurance and love to help her graduate. Someone felt that what happened is so ... liberal. When one is tolerant and open-minded, it is automatically called "liberal" by any means! Such a ridiculous mentality.
I knew of a guy that worked at NMSD. He used to work as Coordinator Residence Educator before heading off to NMSD. I personally lost the respect for Cliff a while ago because of a fiasco that occurred with my job as Resident Advisor which he fired me unjustly and I fought savagely and won it back with the support and blessing of Campus Life Director Sue Hanrahan (God bless her!). She also ordered Cliff to apologize for what he did to me. He never did.
The Newmans: Spending the day and night with the Newmans is quite a blessing. It is sane. It is all about love. I love Todd like a brother. I love Dyan. I love Tayla and Thor. It was good to see Angela there as well. We had steak kabobs and chatted all day long to catch up with what we did in our lives. Dyan mentioned that she's stopping taking the pills and gave me a smirk.
Dyan is good mother. It was quite amusing that Tayla is going to her first camping for a week. Dyan went into a mother-mode and work on the details to ensure that Tayla has everything she needed before hopping off to the camping for a week. At 8, it is Tayla's first one ever. Dyan is understandably worried and aghast about it. I chortled, "Soon, she's off to college before you know."
Dyan smiled then pulled the sort of sad smile, "Yeah, I'm bit worried about it." Then she laughed. No wonder she would like to get third and ... fourth. Todd is all for it as he went on to explain the logics of his age and his children. Thor is awfully cute. He is quite an affection monster -- he's going to charm anyone out of their minds eventually. Like father, like son.
Pics will be posted eventually.
Spring Ridge: I cannot believe what I saw last night when a child talked to Tayla via the videophone, I was curious whether if he went to MSD or not. The brat, probably 9 or 10, from the deaf family ... italian one. He said, "Of course I go to MSD, I live in Spring Ridge!"
I was at loss to know what is the big deal about Spring Ridge, Todd and Tayla (at 8) explained that it is "exclusive neighborhood" where many Deaf families who has these money and expectations.
I turned to see the brat on the tube saying, "YOU DONT KNOW WHAT SPRING RIDGE? MY GOD!"
I shot back, "Well, I'm not from here. I lived in New York and Philadelphia!" The brat challenged me on few things which I dismissed it -- I teased that he should get a custodial job when he finish his time at MSD. "I will go to Gallaudet when I'm done with it!" He boasted. I smiled, "I hope you find a custodian job at Gallaudet."
Good grief -- like Gallaudet needs another punchbag like Dorian Yanke.
Later, I talked with few people -- they said that apparently, some Deaf families flocked to Spring Ridge in Frederick as the means to be part of that "exclusive community" reserved for affluent, well-to-do, narcissistic and reputation-driven. It is OK to be part of the "cream of the crops" but this concept of "exclusive community" will not prepare their brats in dealing with the real world outside -- not everyone else is smart nor rich. I won't be surprised that these neighborhoods will produce a group of nuts like Dorian Yanke.
I have no complain that Frederick has become one of the nation's favorite place for Deaf people to live, mingle and send their Deaf brats to MSD. I heard that there are lots of power struggles among the administration at MSD. If I had a family of my own and that I have deaf children, you can bet that it is off to Frederick I go. Why? Because in Frederick, it is OK to be Deaf, people get used to it. People do not give you hard time when you indicated that you're Deaf. It is somewhat utopia grounds for Deaf people to regain their sanity.
But Spring Ridge? It is absurd to see kids bragging about it. Even worse, I was told that their parents bragged about it as well. Folks, nobody in New York or in Los Angeles cares about Spring Ridge.

Dyan smiled then pulled the sort of sad smile, "Yeah, I'm bit worried about it." Then she laughed. No wonder she would like to get third and ... fourth. Todd is all for it as he went on to explain the logics of his age and his children. Thor is awfully cute. He is quite an affection monster -- he's going to charm anyone out of their minds eventually. Like father, like son.
Pics will be posted eventually.
Spring Ridge: I cannot believe what I saw last night when a child talked to Tayla via the videophone, I was curious whether if he went to MSD or not. The brat, probably 9 or 10, from the deaf family ... italian one. He said, "Of course I go to MSD, I live in Spring Ridge!"
I was at loss to know what is the big deal about Spring Ridge, Todd and Tayla (at 8) explained that it is "exclusive neighborhood" where many Deaf families who has these money and expectations.
I turned to see the brat on the tube saying, "YOU DONT KNOW WHAT SPRING RIDGE? MY GOD!"
I shot back, "Well, I'm not from here. I lived in New York and Philadelphia!" The brat challenged me on few things which I dismissed it -- I teased that he should get a custodial job when he finish his time at MSD. "I will go to Gallaudet when I'm done with it!" He boasted. I smiled, "I hope you find a custodian job at Gallaudet."
Good grief -- like Gallaudet needs another punchbag like Dorian Yanke.
Later, I talked with few people -- they said that apparently, some Deaf families flocked to Spring Ridge in Frederick as the means to be part of that "exclusive community" reserved for affluent, well-to-do, narcissistic and reputation-driven. It is OK to be part of the "cream of the crops" but this concept of "exclusive community" will not prepare their brats in dealing with the real world outside -- not everyone else is smart nor rich. I won't be surprised that these neighborhoods will produce a group of nuts like Dorian Yanke.
I have no complain that Frederick has become one of the nation's favorite place for Deaf people to live, mingle and send their Deaf brats to MSD. I heard that there are lots of power struggles among the administration at MSD. If I had a family of my own and that I have deaf children, you can bet that it is off to Frederick I go. Why? Because in Frederick, it is OK to be Deaf, people get used to it. People do not give you hard time when you indicated that you're Deaf. It is somewhat utopia grounds for Deaf people to regain their sanity.
But Spring Ridge? It is absurd to see kids bragging about it. Even worse, I was told that their parents bragged about it as well. Folks, nobody in New York or in Los Angeles cares about Spring Ridge.
