Remember Luke Fuller?

My mother was a fan of DYNASTY, a nighttime soap opera series on ABC-TV in 1980s. Dynasty was one of fewest TV shows that has captions on it. It was big deal in the Deaf Community -- on every weekend at Richmond Club of the Deaf, there would be a group of females talking about Alexis, Krystle, Sammy Jo and yes, Steven and his boyfriend, Luke Fuller.

My mother despised Luke Fuller. She ranted on about how bad he is to change Steven from heterosexual to "fag".

And there was a cliffhanger on DYNASTY where the Carrington family went to some country named Moldovia for a wedding. Steven brought his boyfriend, Luke Fuller to the wedding. And at the wedding, some armed dissidents barged in with machine guns and started firing. For a whole summer, Mom and Joan would discuss about who would be killed and so on.

Mom kept on saying she hoped Luke gets killed because he deserved it. Sure enough, Luke Fuller was one of these victims in the process. I vividly remembered being startled by Mom when she got off from the couch, cheered and started to whoop her fists in the air when Luke died in Steven's arms. It was heart-wrenching moment. That was the moment I knew Mom will never understand nor accept who I am.

At that time, I was heartbroken for Luke Fuller. He was cute.

Then years later, my friend recommended me to check out the film called Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City on PBS-TV. It was one of the most controversial film ever on PBS-TV which pissed many right-wingers (Xian nuts and Conservative pricks) -- and I absolutely loved the brutal honesty of the film as it touched on many subjects that affected our lives. There was a character that I despised on that film named Dr. Jon Philip Fielding. This man has a wife and has everything else but also cheated on his wife by fucking men in gay bathhouses in San Francisco. He annoyed me to no end.

Little did I know that Dr. Jon Philip Fielding was portrayed by the same actor who acted as Luke Fuller in DYNASTY as well. His name is Billy Campbell. And it also amused me to know that he was born in Charlottesville, Virginia.

And yes, he's still hot.

10.24.05 Tidbits

Another Proof That Matt Drudge Is Gay: Matt denied that he's gay. But look at what he wrote:

WIND GUSTS IN SOUTH BEACH CLOCKED AT 125 MPH... WINDOWS BLOWN OUT OF MIAMI BEACH HIGH-RISES... STRONGEST STORM TO HIT BROWARD COUNTY SINCE LATE 1940S... MORE... 1.2 MILLION WITHOUT POWER... MORE... WINDOWS BLOWN-OUT OF BROWARD COURTHOUSE...

D-oh! Self-explanatory!

Caleb Is His Name: Of course, I'm a fan of Desperate Housewives. I had been curious about the new neighbors who moved in the area, the African-American family that also had someone living in the basement. Last night, I was delighted to get few tidbits but not enough. Apparently, the person in the basement is none other than Caleb, a developmentally disabled boy who may have killed someone in Chicago and their family were holding him in the basement because the family knew that the courts would still execute him despite the fact that he is FOW. This is a good issue to explore because in this country, we still support the death penalty which executed thousands of people, many who are FOW to start with.

What is FOW? Low functional persons = FOW

Funny Ads: The commercial is amusing -- but the Major League Baseball officials are not amused. Whose fault is it? Of course, the MLB officials. They allowed their players to mess up the sport as whole. This subjected them to endure such ridicule from others, including "Got Milk?". I wish it was captioned.

FOX NEWS' Shepard Smith OUTed: I just became a fan of Kevin Naff. He absolutely nailed on this article he wrote and in the process, he OUTed Shepard Smith, the anchorman for "The Fox Report" and "Studio B with Shepard Smith". FOX NEWS is owned by Rupert Murdoch, a die-hard Republican conservative. FOX NEWS is pro-war, anti-gay, anti-liberal newsfeed machine. How can Shepard do this to his own peers is beyond me? Another self-loathing homo in the making. When Kevin Naff mentioned "New York City gay piano bar" -- I immediately thought of this bar. A good friend of mine is a bartender in the back few feet away from the piano. Kevin, I miss him. When I am back in the city, my first agenda is to see Kevin, of course. Either way, Shepard Smith, shame on you.

Mama, It Is Not My Fault!: GW Bush always exonerated himself. Did not surprise me at all, really.

Queen of Dracula Now Xian Nut: Anne Rice, the Queen of Dracula stories, is now born-again Xian. Now, this is the most scary thing out of this woman, figuratively and literally! For what is worth, Anne's son, Christopher, is gay. My bet is that Anne will attempt to correct Christopher's orientation as to test her personal beliefs. Obviously, Anne is feeling down about Katrina's destruction of New Orleans -- and Xians capitalized on that by insisting that God sent her the message. How desperate is it?

To Conquer Hatred ...

One time, Mysa Nal stood quietly on the remains of The Sorcerers' World and wondered, When does it end? When will there be peace?

The voice spoke to Mysa,

"Maybe never, Mysa. Maybe Love can never conquer Hatred. The struggle between the two may be integral to what we are. But there are small victories. The conquering of our own hatreds. The discovery that our means are superior ... at least for us. And in this existence, perhaps these are the only victories to be had."

Suffice to say, I can relate to Mysa and the voice itself. The readers, whether if they hate or love me with a passion, has to understand and respect my privacy. I do not mind if you hate me so much just because I sicced or trashed your arguments at times, but for people to talk about what I do in life is absolutely laughable and downright ridiculous.

What kind of job do I have? None of your business. What kind of living arrangements do I have? None of your business. What kind of food I ate last night? None of your fucking business!

It is not the first time I heard that some people were relieved or jumped with joy that I did not show up at certain events, but my question begs the same: Why do you fucking care? I personally do not care if someone I knew got ran over by a 18-wheeler truck -- I mean, if one told me about that, my first reaction would be without an emotion: "Oh."

Why?

Because I do not give a shit about it at all!

Yes, I write entries for this blog -- that makes me what? A blogger. Just like the reporters doing their job for The Washington Post or New York Post. I write about things in life, politics, entertainment, sports and sometimes, sex conquests. Yes, I write things that may touch some people's nerves. To some, it may be perceived as despicable. To some, it may be perceived as an act of courage. Either way, I cannot satisfy all sides. The newspapers and televisions tends to do that. Thanks to the Internet, the blog was a brand-new medium for common people like me to have a place in the world to share their thoughts outside of corporations' controls. To me, that is remarkable medium that anyone else can use to share their thoughts, feelings and messages!

From day one, I never talked about my employment, my salary, what kind of friends I have, living arrangements, the guy(s) that I (was/am/will) date(ing) or even my eating habits on my blog because these things are personal and it belonged to no one but me. To snoop in what I do in life is an invasion of privacy. But I expect that to happen occasionally in Deaf Community -- when they loved or resented someone, they snooped as much as can be just to divulge their pleasures. I do not ask you about your salary, your employment, your living arrangements, your pathetic boyfriend(s) or even your eating habits -- who do you care about mine? Why do you even care that I exist in the first place if you cannot stand me?

That is something I do not understand people, especially many Deaf idiots -- they lacked the means to understand the differences and respect the fact that I am a blogger and I am entitled to have a portion of my life to be private. If they cannot handle the fact that I hit the issues head-on on my blogsite, get the fuck off from my blog already!

When I pointed out the flaws in people's lives, it is normal for them to be defensive about it. I am not perfect, either. But when you fucked it up, don't blame it on me -- just admit that I was right.

Which is why some of you hated me with a passion. Because I tend to be correct in many forms whether if you like it or not. Which brings me back to the original statement on the top -- maybe that is why love will never conquer hatred.

Of course, at some point in my life, I had to step back and figure out who is friend or not. And yes, I am aware that some "so-called friends" are done for. I'm sad that it has to be that way. Invasion of privacy is never good way to be friends with.

Think about it, dear. Of course, I am indignant on this subject because it is ridiculous.

Run, Lola, Run!

One of my favorite places to hang out in Washington, DC is none other than 17 Street High Heel Race, often taken on Tuesday a week before Halloween. This year, it is slated to happen on October 25, 2005 at 9 PM. For first-timers, take Metro to DuPont Circle and head eastward to 17 Street as early as 6 PM to seize good spot in observing the High Heel Race.

What is the High Heel Race? It is a hysterical, comical block party reserved for anyone who dressed up outrageously and race up the street with high heels from Church Street NW to R Street NW. It started in 1986 and has been running for 19 years in a row.

Click the image to see them up close if you dare!
I once volunteered at High Heel Race because I felt that it gave me the opportunity to watch up close and see how these men in drag runs -- not only that, I also get free shots prior and after the event as well! Men in drag were magnificent, I mean, they ran so fast that ... they amazed me. Some could not handle 3-inch heels and lost balance, flung themselves into the crowds or on other contestants. Of course, drama ensued as always. But what do the winner of High Heel Race gets in return for destroying their ankles? A bar tab at JR's Bar & Grill, that's it!

You get to be entertained by many creative people who dressed up from A to Z -- during my stay in the District, I attended 7 High Heels Races because I love to observe but do not interfere these creative people who took so much of their time (or none at all) to dress up something outrageous.

I wonder if a guy who imitated as Princess Di is still hanging out at 19th Annual 17 Street High Heel Race these days?

If you never had a chance to check it out, I highly recommend you to check this out on Tuesday the 25th. You'll enjoy it. Unless you're member of American Family Association and Concerned Women of America who considered it as a bad thing for their so-called "traditional beliefs" thing.

Megastorm ... or Fujiwhara?

Last night, Sarah mentioned about the possibility of Wilma merging with Alpha on Monday just off from the coast of Florida -- I find the idea to be intriguing and interesting. Historically, when two hurricanes/tropical storms are situated nearby to each other, they often drained each other out. But you never know how it goes with the weather.

According to the National Hurricane Center in Miami, I had been comparing two maps and I decided to pull it and put it together -- took me about 30 minutes to do that, not bad, eh?



AS you can see the map, both storms are going to meet or end up draining each other on Monday afternoon just off the coast of Florida. When two hurricane/tropical storm got closer to each other, they rarely merge. They often danced with each other, stalled each other from moving on its own. It is termed as Fujiwhara.

Either way, it is interesting subject, is it?

Gallaudet Still Undefeated

Gallaudet Now 7-0! By the end of third quarter, the game was tied at 21 between Gallaudet and SUNY-Maritime during the rainy Homecoming Day at Gallaudet -- boom, Gallaudet went on to make two touchdowns to win the game, 35-21 in front of 2,000 fans as well as the ESPN crew from Bristol, Connecticut. It was said that Gallaudet football team will be profiled on ESPN sometimes in January, 2006. Gallaudet will play its last game of the season at UNC-Greensboro next week on Saturday.

Meanwhile here is another picture of Coach Ed Hottle, the hottest man at Gallaudet. According to my memory, I left my 100-year Anniversary Gallaudet Football at my parents' place so I cannot verify at all, I believe that Gallaudet never had an undefeated season in more than 105 years. If they went 8-0 next week, Coach Ed Hottle did something that not even Dr. Frank Turk or Bob Westermann did, compiled an undefeated season in school's history. Great job, Gallaudet Gridders.

Move Over, Wilma! Hurricane Wilma is moving very slowly at 3 MPH, good enough to devastate the region. Tropical Storm Alpha has formed in the Carribean Sea just south of Dominican Republic.

If You're Bored ... It is healthy for you to do this. Thanks to Ramblings on the Matter

In Melbourne, Australia: This is amusing article. No pity for Parking Officer, though.

Cory Is Hot: I was bored and dying slowly in the midst of shitty rainy day, watched MTV's True Life: I'm on a diet. Normally, I do not go for men like Cory but something about him caught my eye. He's pretty cute for a wrestler.

Shame on GW Bush: What do you expect from this arrogant cowboy? This fucker knew that Los Angeles is the nation's busiest highway commute and he does not care if 100 kids missed their first-ever field trip to see The Wizard of Oz -- after all, they are not important. Appearing at the fundraising event is more important for GW Bush than anyone else, really. At least, more people disliked, hated and disregarded the man in White House.

D-oh! Part I: Last week, Virginia Cavaliers football team pulled its second upset of Top 5 team in 10 years by beating No. 4 Florida State 26-21, today they managed to find a way to lose to unranked North Carolina Tar Heels in Chapel Hill, 7-5.

D-oh! Part II: Of course, I am in melancholy mood. When I read this, I could not believe but come to think of this -- only 1,000 were on hand to pull the goal post, of course it is heavy! It whacked one person and ... yeah, killed him as well. Only in Minnesota, though. Sonny is going to kill me for sure.

Why do trannies and drag queens, if they feel and really want to be women, flaunt their breasts without respect and have no problem flinging out their nipples for the world to see? Real women don't do that unless they're paid to do so - legally or illegally... or in the name of love or lust.

I nominate McFly for the future first woman president of the United States.

Can a lesbian be fucked by a man out of curiousity and still be considered a lesbian when there are no feelings or interests involved?

Finally..... ROCKY franchise has come back to the movie theater on Thanksgiving 2006. And this time, its ROCKY VI. Perhaps, I should write a letter to company to get that movie captioned.

Berna is a cool lady.

I *heart* Jenny and everyone else! I also *heart* you, Beth. No worries. I'm not gonna lick your cunt either unless you stomp your foot and say you want to be licked. If you do, I'll find someone for you - male or female. Your choice. And, enjoy!

Welcome to NYC, Beth. We love having you here in the Big Apple.

Too bad you cannot cruise Ed Hottle on Homecoming Day!

Kate is going to be SO AMAZING in the show she is acting in!

Craigslist is a wonderful place to meet people, get/sell things, and more.

JJ you're just a plain old bitter person who needs to start having a more positive outlook on life! No wonder you're still single!

Does being a fat man or woman make one less sexy and have less flair, regardless of inner high sex drive and vibes? Does being thin really elevate one above others?

Rosey G. already told everybody that all of her three female exes, raped her right after they decided to break up with this pathetic cheap-assed bitch. It is just that Rosey needs attention because nobody wanted or cared about her after all. She loves to twist stories to make herself look innocent. Of course, she always found plenty of people out there that felt sorry for her antics. She needs to get some help from some psychiatric ward. What a poor little stupid Rosey!

I hate the Factory Cafe which oppresses women.

Christine Santana you are a wretched face babboon!!

Men's brains are in their penises.

Expect Deaf senior citizens to be hospitalized of heat exhaustion at NAD Conference in Palm Springs, California. I mean, the average temperature in July is 108.4!! What a stupid move on NAD's part!

Women beware, David Simmons only sees you as a sex object to conquer.

If a female President ran this country, things would improve significantly.

Bill Terrell has officially resigned from his position as Chair of the RAD 2005 Conference. Good riddance! Now everyone knows the real side of him! Such a jerk and coward he is! Now CMRA has to clean up his shitty and shoddy work!

Why do gay men fall in love so quickly then break up so quickly with so much drama?

Move over, Hurricane Wilma. I'm waiting for you, Hurricane Alpha!

I love you, Svetlana!

Gallaudet already had many hearing Presidents, they already had a deaf president, it is time for Deaf with capital "D" President!

Dear Chris, I love you so much. I'm so lucky to have you in my life!

Will Bush go fishing again before or after Hurricane Wilma? Let's see how well-prepared FEMA is this time around if the hurricane hits US shore. I hope it doesn't hit our shores! We've had enough beating. If the Gods are mad, punish Bush, not us.

Lil Josh is growing up *squeezing cheeks*

Any single deaf lesbians out there in NYC? or elsewhere? Please raise your hand, leave your name and email addy here in the comments section. I'll get in touch with you. :-)

Bars and clubs are not places to pick up your future partners and bring home to meet your parents.

Tis the season to be jolly, fa la la la!
Tis the season to be hilarious! fa la la la la!
Hope this session is more hilarious than ever before!
Fa la la la!

Jay Levine!! Do yourself a favor. Please stop prey on young girl and spread VD like bird flu. You actually cost one beautiful innocent girl her ovary. Just fuck whoever around your age and your size as well.

3 reasons I hate CIs, one, it makes them snobby and bitchy, two, makes them complain too much, and three, makes them feel superior to otherDeafies who don't have/believe in CIs. If the end of the world came and all the batteries died, then what? They're still Deaf!!!

Move over, David Letterman and Jay Leno! Make room for the one and only Ricky Taylor! Gotta love that smirk and these trademark signs/expressions of his.

Poor Michael Demmons, he hafta to block people that deflate his ego from time to time. Grow a spine.

Joe is a great baker!

Best regards to Lauren and Doug on their engagement. Congratulations!

Anne is cute! Is she available?

It's beautiful to see Melissa growing up and growing into her own skin.

Not only that he is hot, Darrin Wright is also sweet and thoughtful. Wish there are men like him out there.

Garrett B. & Jon D., you guys strip? You kidding me or what?

Pack, hang in there!
