10.26.05 Tidbits

White House Crybabies: I cannot believe this at all. White House is using your money to sic the lawyers on a satirical paper, The Onion. C'mon, let's be serious, The Onion is free newspaper -- this is ridiculous.

MLB Stars Ain't The Only Ones: Great! Another reason not to trust the pigs. They might go haywire and hurt us in the process. And proud of themselves for doing this. Shameful.

Alec Baldwin Does Blog: Great article. Hat tip to Magatsu.

Ghosts Are Coming! And 7 kids are dead. Apparently, stampede does not apply only to adults at soccer games.

Payback Is Bitch: Dick Cheney, Lewis Libby or Karl Rove should be indicted for treason should they be responsible for disclosing the identity of CIA agent. AT least, getting a blowjob and lying about it is no big deal -- Ken Starr and his Republican supporters made a huge stink about it. Now the other side is doing the same thing. See? Payback is bitch.

Something Is Wrong With This Picture: IN Colorado Springs, where these nutty pro-Xian organizations are located at, the Air Force Academy managed to spring a new problem, I guess.

Remember Ursa of Superman II? Today, it rained all day long. Out of boredom, I got to watch Superman II on USA Channel. It is corny film but I always admired Ursa, one of three villains in the film. Ursa's tendencies are similar to what I do in life. Observe but do not interfere. But when the opportunity rises, she'll do something about it. For instance, in one of these scenes, she called Superman's attention as she walked around and used her leg to yank the manhole cover off the floor and used it as a frisbee to strike Superman. Just like that. That was one cool scene out of corny movie. Ahh, I just found out her real name is Sarah Douglas. One scene where she used the manhole cover as a frisbee is this.

100,000th Hit

A year ago, I inserted the sitemeter out of curiosity after learning that more and more people were reading my blogsite. Today on October 25, 2005 at 2:45 PM, a pervert from Singapore used MSN's search engine to type "male teachers fuck young students" and somehow, my blog popped up on that list as well.

You can see here for that particular link. This particular pervert from Singapore only stayed for 1 second, perhaps to search for better websites to masturbate, I guess.

By entering my blogsite, he inadvertently ended up as the 100,000th person to visit the blogsite. Whoever you are, congratulations, pervert. Hope you enjoyed the visit, even for a second.

If I had added the sitemeter bit earlier, maybe the sitemeter would read 150K by now. But either way, it is quite an accomplishment.


Thanks for reading and making the blogsite No. 1 in DeafAmerica with more than 100,000 visits and 188,000 views. And yes, it has been growing steadily in the last 12 months.

At this point, I already wrote 1,368 entries so far. How's that, eh?

Dumb Caption of the Year

Just got home from a local gay bar and saw this caption on CBS-TV:

"Rosa Parks, one of the heroin civil rights movement of 1960s has died at 92 in Michigan."

Where is the Mastercard's Priceless moment when you need one?

Check the OUT Magazine's November 2005 Issue

Be sure to find the issue of November 2005's OUT magazine. You should be able to find an article about my good friend, Tyrone Giordano on page 28 and 30. I am delighted that there are two great pictures of Ty as well. Let's say ... any sane person will find him irresistible.

Little did I know that he's going to act as ... a gay man in The Family Stone in a interracial relationship with one hot African-American guy who graduated from Dartmouth College. An Ivy league school that impressed me when I visited last November with my hearing friends, Chris and Shane.

You rock, Ty! Ty did something that not even Marlee Matlin did -- act as a fag in any film. And guys and gals -- after reading the article, Ty is going to have the legions of gay men chasing after him. I may be as well as be his bouncer when we get together in New York gay bars!

I *kissfist* Ty. Two thumbs up for a great article on Tyrone.

Cheers,

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.

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.
