Wanna See Dan Savage? I got an email that Dan Savage will be in the District on Friday, October 21, 2005 at Olsson's Bookstore (418 7th Street NW) -- perhaps I will be there to greet, kiss, grope and hug him. I am a certain huge fan of Dan Savage's books and articles.
What do I describe his opinions? Exhilarating! Dan Savage wrote Skipping Towards Gomorrah, Savage Love: Straight Answers from America's Most Popular Sex Columnist, The Commitment : Love, Sex, Marriage, and My Family, The Kid : What Happened After My Boyfriend and I Decided to Go Get Pregnant. Not only that, he is the Editor of The Stranger, a great liberal newspaper in Seattle. Is that all? No. He is also the Sex Columnist for several publications but mainly for The Stranger.
And he is so gay as can be, yet many straight folks relied him to answer the questions related to both worlds' sexual interests. I certainly trust his judgment over Dear Abby or Dotti for all I care!
If I cannot make it to the District, someone has to make out with him for me!
Unlike Most ...: Last night, I get to watch "A Lot Like Love". About time, I know, Ty never told me to check it -- just told me that he's in it. I asked few things about him working with Ashton. He mentioned that he taught Ashton how to sign this, that and there. And that Ashton was "cool" and "fun" to work with.
Then I finally watched it last night. You know, most hearing actors attempted to sign -- you could tell that their style of signings were pretty croppy and robotic. Totally barf and unattractive. I was surprised to see Ashton signing it ... in very casual manner. As if he knew how to sign for years.
And Ty? Well, I cannot really judge him. I just smiled each time I see him on the film. I mean, I'm so happy for Ty. I'm so thrilled -- despite the fact that many of you think I was pretty negative person to start with -- I am truly happy for Ty to do what he wants in life. Generally, the film is alright as can be. But I like it.
Oh, Ashton's ass is so hot. Ty, if Ashton invited you to his private party, can I be your chaperone?
UPDATE! I am well aware that Ty's next film is called "The Family Stone". I saw the trailer. Ty gets to work with Craig T. Nelson, Diane Keaton, Sarah Jessica Parker, Delmot MulRoney, Rachel McAdams and Luke Wilson. What a great cast!
I always thought Luke and Delmot were irresistible.
The trailer looks good and funny. I'm still trying to adjust the idea that my good friend is in these films. I cannot help but smile each time when I see him pop up on the screen. Check the trailer. Hat tip to Dylan!
Clarification: I got an email from a concerned hearing person who felt that I was vicious towards hearing people in general. Well, let's pay attention to this -- Dr. Zager is cute. Ashton is hot. Can they hear? Yes! There are many good hearing persons (I preferred men, though), but there are MANY idiotic and appalling hearies out there.
I was not born to educate, tolerate and put up with their craps. I chose not to go what many ones took the path, to educate something that they'll never learn! I rather to blast them to smithereens and this way, I'll wash my hands off on this subject but on the other end, they'll never forget it for a while.
But in person, I do not do that all the time. I am more reserved in person. I am more laid-back and easygoing person. I think many of my friends can confirm that. I used to be assertive in making friends. Now I do not. I am content with what I have. Of course, there are always room to make new friends. I'm pretty much flexible as can be.
I tend to smile when I get emails from unknown people because it is nice to see their responses. No, I do not bite. What I said on the blogsite does not mean that I do it in person all the time. It takes a lot of ignorance for me to snap at a hearie. But it does happen from time to time. Otherwise, be yourself, fellas.
Cheers,

AIM Virus & Rocky VI
AIM VIRUS! I apologized if some of you got these annoying IMs which gave you the link to some places -- it was not my doing. My roommate clicked on his friend's IM on this computer. It somehow gets on all of us' buddy lists and fired away on to others.
I had been trying to fix it, locate the problem (windoze.exe) -- I had been trying to use spybot, ad-ware and aimfix.exe to stop it. But it kept on coming back. I'm going insane. If anyone has the suggestion shorter than to format the Windows XP, do tell me.
Thanks in advance!
Just Saw This: When I saw this, I groaned. I know folks will groan and Roy Weintraub will have his first orgasm in years. This is perhaps the saddest news for me -- I never liked nor advocated the boxing as a sport.
Confidential to Jay (Not Bunnag!): Jay, stop IMming the little boy or you'll go back to the prison as deserved!
Cheers,

Ballroom?! A friend gave me the link to Gallaudet Homecoming Weekend. I checked it out. Then I glanced at the word that made me cringe the most: Ballroom.
According to dictionary.com, a ballroom is:
Did You See Kung Fu Hustle? I cried so hard. That movie is so hilarious. The snappy words and body language on each other throughout the film were so funny that I could not stop howl with heavy fits of laughters. It was entertaining to watch the Landlady doing these acts and yet, still maintained that damned cigarette in her mouth! It was crazy film.
What made me feel good about the movie is that during the film, there was a deaf female character that showed up in the film and was ganged up by not-so-nice hearing boys -- unfortunately for us, the Chinese referred her as "mute" -- which the hearing boy tried to rescue but was beaten and urinated by these boys. The Deaf female immediately liked this guy -- the beaten boy fled the scene afterwards. Years later, she found him. It was so cool to see a hero going out with a deaf woman.
UP next is ... "A Lot Like Love" performed by Ashton Kutcher and none other than my dear friend, Tyrone Giordano!
I Must Talk About Sex, Right? Reports are streaming out of Minneapolis that the professional football players up to 25 players engaged in a raucous party that involved masturbation, oral sex et al -- the party was supposed to last 3 hours but it was cut short when the crew members freaked out when the party became out of control -- now, people are not asking why but they wanted to know who's who attended the party ... !
UPenn Athlete Dead: Today, Kyle Ambrogi, U of Penn football player, committed suicide after a long period of depression. It was said that many knew that he had the problems with depression. Well, I suspected it has something to do with ...
Well, I was in a chat room filled with men. I saw one screenname that says: UPenn Closeted Athlete ISO Friends -- I'll see if it is still there. If not, it has to be Kyle.
Is this common? Unfortunately, yes.

According to dictionary.com, a ballroom is:
n. A large room for dancingI repeatedly told many people that it is a fucking room! It is a fucking room! The proper word is Ball!!
n. A formal gathering for social dancing.So if you want to call this event, it is supposed to be Xotic Ball, not Xotic Ballroom! Get this right just for once! Argh!! This is the word that demonized me for years at Gallaudet. And today, they're still calling it Ballroom?!

Boy, Dr. Zager Is Hot!
Today, I went to see the doctor for some check-up with my "ears" because the last time I had the audiology test was in '91. That is 14 years ago.So off to see Dr. Zager, I drove through the rainy streets to that specific location. I hate the feeling of Audiology Clinic, really! It is so creepy. These attitudes on these receptionists' face reads: "Let me fix you up!"
My left ankle is still sore from turning it over last Sunday evening. So I limped a little and reached the front desk. I picked the pen out of its penholder thing, I asked for the paper pad. The receptionist at the front desk seems to be in her 60s or so, she tried to use her voice to talk. I shook my head and said in gesture to indicate that I want a paper pad. She declined and she pulled the file and showed me the name of someone else. I shook my head and rolled my eyes. She went to get another file then did the same thing. I nodded that it was mine. She gestured me to sit down. I sighed and asked for the paper pad in gesture, she shook her head and pointed to the chair behind me.
I signed so fast that she'll never forget it -- "SOMEBODY SHOULD PUT A HOLE IN YOUR FUCKING FACE!" All the time, I was smiling like nothing happened.
I'm sure she will never figure out what I said to her face. Then I sat and waited for the "appointed hour".
Then I was led to the room. Waited. Waited. Then Dr. Zager came in, I was bit startled. He smiled. He tried to speak. He's very young. Very cute. Very masculine. And has brown hair. Has glasses. I quickly scoped out his hands to see if there is a committment ring. Nope at all. He looks like my close friend! He laughed when I said no to some questions related to speech/hearing. He asked me why I was jumpy. I told him that it's creepy to look at him because he reminded me of Todd Newman, really. He laughed out loud.
Then we resumed back to this professional thing. Dr. Zager asked me if I can speak -- I laughed and said, "Only in one language -- gibberish." He chuckled and instructed me to go downstairs to have my audiology tests.
Blah, blah. My last time in '91, my left ear's db was 45. My other ear was 95. Today, they told me that both ears are way over 110 db. Yes, you got it! I'm DEAF as can be.
At first, I asked the Audiologist to tell me what dbs for my ears? She said to talk with Dr. Zager. Then Dr. Zager seemed to be "sad" and wrote down that my ears are now profoundly Deaf. I smiled like Hell. He looked at me as if I was nuts.
Little did he knew ...
for I am the Deaf Gay Militant.
Hear me roar. And I will never hear you roar!
Cheers,

JetBlue & AirTran Are Cool: These companies are making it easy on our budget to fly around. I can just pay $59 to fly to Richmond from New York via JetBlue. I can just pay another $49 from Philadelphia to Richmond via AirTran. Maybe Chinatown Bus Services will be no more for me. Hell, they said that it'll cost $25 from New York to Boston! Not bad.
DeafAmerica! Do your part! This is extremely cool. Hat tip to McFly!
Rene Portland Is Homophobe: 15 years ago in March, 1990. Unranked James Madison Dukes came to State College to play No. 1 Penn State Lions in front of sold-out crowd. Penn State opened with a 24-9 lead, but the Dukes kept on hanging around 'til the half, 41-29. Then in the second half, the Dukes roared to the greatest upset in history of the NCAA Tournament, knocked No. 1 Penn State 73-71 out of the NCAA Tournament in the first round.
Meanwhile, there was a small protest outside of Penn State's gymnasium against whom? Rene Portland. Because she made a comment to the local newspaper that she does not permit Lesbians to remain on her team. Shortly, Rene recanted and apologized. But the game overshadowed the protest 15 years ago. I always suspected that Rene is homophobic, even as of now. I knew of a PSU fan who claimed that Rene changed.
Last season, after Penn State lost to Liberty in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, she dismissed Jennifer Harris from the team. Jennifer Harris transferred to James Madison and has to sit out for a year in order to play on another team as per by the NCAA rules. Why was she dismissed from the team? Because Jennifer is Lesbian. Now the National Center for Lesbian Rights is doing something about it.
Shame on Rene.

Dull Day, Is It?
Today is very dull day, I thought I'd entertain you with three things:
This picture -- I found it on in my picture box -- and I decided to match them around and play with the photo shop -- these pictures were taken in Seattle at some Mexican restaurant. Click on the picture to enlarge if you want to.
Jason, Phil, Mark, Merritt, Toby and Manny
On another hand, the UNICEF, the United Nations Children's Fund dedicated to advance humanity by working with the youth of Today, posed an advertisement that received lots of attention amongst the bystanders in Paris, France. Apparently, the UNICEF tried to reach the bystanders that wars destroyed people's lives. And I saw the poster -- I really loved it. Click the picture to enlarge.
Youw, the village of Smurfs has only one female and the rest are males. And the males sleep together. Think about it.
Now on the last thing, my sister had an entry that brought some memory of mine with Mom's cat named Garland. Garland is perhaps our family's favorite cat of many -- Homegirl ranked very close with Garland these days. When Garland died, Lily was so upset that she used the drawing to counsel herself. Check the entry of my sister's blog. Oh, yeah, be sure to view the trailer of Lily's drawing as well.
Cheers,

Tidbits for 11th of October
Curiosity Killed The Cat, Of Course! Frances was curious. And curiosity swallowed Frances.
Gallaudet News: All day long, I was paged by about 7 or 8 different persons telling me that Gallaudet has had enough of Delta Sigma Phi fraternity's antics so far -- many of 'em said the fraternity is officially suspended, inactive or closed down for good. Maybe Scott Bradley has something to do with it -- jumping out of 3rd floor from the Chapter room, running from the DPS like an illegal immigrant did when they run across Rio Grande River last week.
McWeenie Is At It Again! He just wrote an entry, criticized DPN Movement and according to what he said, he claimed to be there. He probably was hiding in his bedroom, terrified that someone would beat up on him. Good. And no, I ain't link to him because his blog is not worth the shit to check out.
Earthquake Is Natural! Millions of years ago, India was aligned with Africa but it breaks and move slowly northward while Asia moves westward. Suddenly, it collided. And that is why we have the highest mountains in the world that can be found in China, Nepal, India, Pakistan and Afghanistan! Each year, the tectonic plate pushed India against Asia an inch or two, forcing the Asia ground to go up. No, it is not the sign of EndTimes as you wish!
Oh, By The Way ...: Sodom and Gomorrah probably was not destroyed by God or whatever people wanted you to believe. Some theorized that the cities were sitting on a fault that also has natural gas under the cities. Of course, when the earthquake struck, the ground grinds, and you get BOOMs! I agreed with that theory. If homosexuality is the reason why they destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, how come Lot fucked his daughters right after the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah? Think about it! (slap your head!)
On Comedy Channel ... : I enjoyed watching SOUTHPARK and INSOMNIAC at times. During an episode of INSOMNIAC in New Orleans, the host gets to ride with the officials in shooting the nutrias in the canal system. I was puzzled. What the fuck is Nutria? It turns out to be a rodent that is very destructive to the Wetlands of Louisiana. It originated from South America. So they used the shotgun to blast the Nutrias in the darkness. It was weird watching the host laughing out of his mind when the official blasted the Nutrias to smithereens.
Anything That Window Media Owned Sucks! Window Media owned Washington Blade and New York Blade. I cannot stand Chris Crain, first and foremost of all. He thinks he's above anyone else. I snickered when some Moroccans plummeted him in Amsterdam. Chris Crain refused to admit that Ken Mehlman is faggot. Chris Crain hired Jeff Gannon to be the Columnist for Washington Blade. I'm like, "Gross, shoot him already!"
Anyway, Washington Blade annoucned the winners for Bars/Clubs in DC, this time they got readers to vote and the editors to pick:
