Do I Have Fever Cavaliers?

I just finished watching FEVER PITCH, I was pretty much touched by the film. It may not be the best nor worst film I ever had witnessed but it certainly leaped at something that I cannot describe -- the passion that I wield for Debbie Ryan's Virginia Cavaliers.

The film is not about Virginia Cavaliers, it is about a guy in Boston whose his passion is all about Boston Red Sox. He is quite obsessed about Boston Red Sox, can pull the statistics off his mind, try to revolve his life around the games, hang out with friends who loved the Red Sox. Purchased all these kinds of merchandises ... shower curtain, welcome mat, assortments of junks ... all with the Red Sox. It interferred his ability to love a woman and the sport.

No, my room is not decorated with Virginia Cavaliers. But I do have two scrapbooks of Virginia Cavaliers that I keep the best games and pictures. I do have about 20 media guides about Virginia Cavaliers dated back to 1985. I do have few letters and few postcards that I corresponded with Coach Debbie Ryan when I was in middle school.

Throw that in with John Crotty's letter, too. His handwriting was awful but who am I not to let him write back? He was HOT. What happened is that I was sitting up close in University Hall watching Dawn Staley leading the Cavaliers to a 95-46 blowout of Tar Heels, a friend of mine shoved me on my left arm and said, "Guess what? John Crotty is sitting right behind you!" I thought he was joking. I turned and he was staring at me directly. God, I was only 13. I blushed. He was quite beautiful. We talked a little. Later, he asked for my address because he wanted to send few things over. And he did -- posters, books and a nice letter with scrawny handwriting on it. John was quite hot and sweet. Nice to know that he's doing well in Coral Gables, Florida. He better prepare his two daughters for Virginia Cavaliers someday. But I digress!

Anyway, when I was in high school, the expectations for Virginia to win the national championship was enormous. It was not a "luck", it was a must. When it did not happen, it turned into something that "was supposed to happen" that languished a part of my soul. I guess, from there, I was cynical. I can relate to Jimmy Fallon's character, Ben Wrightman, when he became upset that Boston Red Sox just played its greatest game ever which he missed when he went out with his girlfriend to a birthday party. Ben's obsession with the Boston Red Sox is akin to my passion for Virginia Cavaliers' Women's Basketball.

I can relate to the Red Sox fans who condemned New York Yankees from day one. I condemned Tennessee Lady Volunteers. I say things that God would turn white -- or red, depending on the color, but you get the picture -- I even wrote on the mailing list, shooting a line that I hope the bus flipped and all Tennessee players get injured so that they lose a game! God, you guys should see the uproar on the mailing list for weeks! I even told Chamique Holdsclaw in person that she was retard for going to Tennessee. She laughed.

I absolutely *hated* Tennessee! Virginia lost to Tennessee 11 times in 12 tries. There is nothing in the world that gets my blood boiling more than Coach Pat Summitt's Tennessee Lady Volunteers. I met Pat Summitt during the 1994 NAD Convention in Knoxville. I even joked with her that I am a fan of Virginia Cavaliers and that I was there to demonstrate my displeasure with her for beating Virginia. She grinned. At least, I'm not violent person. I just talked trash, that's it.

On another hand, Yankees routinely beats Red Sox so much that the fans on both sides get ... let's say, personal.

One time, my ex inadvertently said "good game!" after Virginia lost to Penn State on a buzzer-beating shot. For a week, I punished Todd by denying him the right to fuck and kiss me. That's what I did.

One time, it was in the Elite Eight where Virginia's Dena Evans pulled a three-point shot at the buzzer to beat Ohio State but the three-point shot was disallowed because Coach Ryan asked for a timeout right before the shot -- thus, Ohio State won the game in order to reach the Final Four. I was devastated -- a fucking Ohio State fan was next to us, gloated as fans began to leave the game in Richmond Coliseum. We were in the upper section -- she was that close to make me shove her off the upper section to be splat on the lower section!

One time, I drove through a snowstorm to watch the Cavaliers play its worst game of the season and lost to Clemson. I was furious. Then to make things worse, my car stalled and would stop running if I go more than 55 MPH on Route 29 North to DC -- I ended up driving more than 5 hours just to get back to DC instead of normal 2 1/2 hours. When I got home, I quickly got on a computer and fire a blistering email to Coach Ryan. Few days later, Virginia routed Duke and Coach Ryan mentioned about the "particular email she got from a fan" hurts her and she shared it with the team -- who went on to destroy Duke. I was certain that the particular email was none other than me.

I even witnessed many great games and worst games. I had the opportunity to witness one of Virginia's greatest game versus No. 4 North Carolina State in Raleigh, NC. IN that game, NC State led 49-40 at the half, then built a 20-point lead, 64-44 in the second half before Virginia regrouped to tie the game at the end of regulation. Drama ensued. 1st overtime! 2nd overtime! 3rd overtime! Then Virginia's Tonya Cardoza travelled -- but she stole the ball and coasted for a layup to win 123-120 in 3 overtimes! It was such a wild game that I think even if I'm afflicted with Alzheimers Disease, I'll never forget that game. When NC State hits a three-pointer to send the game into third overtime, I swear the Reynolds Coliseum was going to flip its cover off the building. It was intense.

I was at Cole Field House when Virginia was ranked No. 2 and they faced No. 1 Maryland Terrapins. Coach Ryan joked, "Dawn has to score or she'll walk home tonight!" Dawn got the message as she scored 24 points for the 75-74 win at Cole Field House in front of more than 14,500 fans. I pulled Maisha Franklin to watch the game with me. She had the glimpse of my passion -- the love for this sport.

But time has passed, Virginia's chances of winning the national championship has diminished because of many reasons. I also grew up. I began to step back and tell myself that it is only a game after Virginia lost a big game. I do not need to go nuts and emotional about it. But I do want Coach Debbie Ryan to win the National Championship. I'm sick of Geno Auriemma and Pat Summitt winning too many times. I'd love to see Virginia beating Stanford, Connecticut and Tennessee in one tournament en route to the national championship. One day, it shall happen. Because I have this particular faith in this woman to do the deed.

One little kid asked Ben Wrightman, "I know you love the Sox, but does it loves you in return?" Ben was stumped. I agreed with the kid. I recognized it in '95 or '96 that I gotta tone it down. I did. I still have these stuff in some drawers. I look at them once in a while. Debbie Ryan needs to send me the last 3 years of media guides in order for me to keep up with the "collection". Ha.

But I also wonder if I could find a boyfriend who could understand, handle and accept my passion for Virginia Cavaliers? AS the film depicted, it is not easy to find a girlfriend for Ben Wrightman, imagine this for a boyfriend to tolerate my emotional outbursts when Virginia lost or won the games? I'm truly fucked, am I? Ha. I'm not worried about it but the film certainly touched a nerve of mine.

Thought I'd share this with you guys.

Cheers,

Few Thoughts for 9.29.05

New Disease Looms Around: THE CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL has issued a no-nonsense, albeit delayed, warning about a new, highly virulent strain of sexually transmitted disease.

This disease is contracted through dangerous and high risk behavior.

The disease is called Gonorrhea Lectim (pronounced "Gonna Re-elect him").

Many victims have contracted it after having been screwed for the past four years, in spite of having taken measures to protect themselves from this especially troublesome disease.

Cognitive sequellae of individuals infected with Gonorrhea Lectim include, but are not limited to, anti-social personality disorder traits; delusions of grandeur with a distinct messianic flavor; chronic mangling of the English language; extreme cognitive dissonance; inability to incorporate new information; pronounced xenophobia and homophobia; inability to accept responsibility for actions; exceptional cowardice masked by acts of misplaced bravado; uncontrolled facial smirking; total ignorance of geography and history; tendencies toward creating evangelical theocracies; and a strong propensity for categorical, all-or-nothing behavior.

The disease is sweeping Washington, DC and there are considerable outbreaks throughout the country. Naturalists and epidemiologists are amazed and baffled that this malignant disease originated only a few years ago in a Texas bush.

Please inform any of your friends and associates who have been acting unusual lately.

Hat tip to Kaybee.

Is This Silly? This guy did not register to prey on girls, he did it with a goal to learn English. And he got in jail for that. I think he did a noble thing, trying to learn English so that he can find jobs. And we trashed his chances as usual.

Another Sempfer Fi! We should be proud of our soldiers for what they did to Iraqi boys in the prison:

"Basically what happened is that those women who were arrested with young boys/children in cases that have been recorded. The boys were sodomized with the cameras rolling. The worst about all of them is the soundtrack of the boys shrieking that your government has. They are in total terror it's going to come out."

I'm so proud of you, soldiers. Sempfer Fi!

Kenny Chesney & Renee Zellweger Peyton Manning? According to this information, Renee Zellweger considered the marriage to be "fraud" because Kenny has steamy "friendship" with Indianapolis Colts Quarterback Peyton Manning. If it is true, they are gorgeous together. Go for it, Peyton. Buckle, aim and penetrate!

Jeff Gannon Fatter Than Before Jeff Gannon was sighted recently at the pro-war march. And it is not pretty sight. Jeff, you never were in the military. Go to DC Eagle and sign up with some leather organization, at least, you can be productive. Hat tip to Joe Tresh's blog.

The Stepford Wives: Believe it or not, I finally saw the film today. Despite the fact that it is a comedy film, it makes me leer at gay Republicans. I loved the dialogues between this gay Republican (who reminds me of Bruce Carroll = FagPatriot) who wanted to convert his partner to be submissive ... just like another gay Republican. It was hilarious but trust me, these patterns are happening across the nation -- many gay Republicans are trying so hard to imitate their warped perceptions of "normalcy" in order to function "normal" like some odd scenes from Pleasantville, really. Perhaps, they had been raised in a hostile environment to a point where they feel they had to contend this idea in order to feel better about themselves, eh? Only time will tell.

Great Website! This is great stuff. I laughed, laughed and some, I wondered. So will you. This enabled me an idea -- deaf schools, clubs, Gallaudet, NTID or CSUN -- if you find a note on the floor that you thought is odd, interesting, revealing or funny -- scan it to me. I'll post it up. Hat tip to Adrian!

This, That and There Tidbits

Lott, DeLay, Frist ...: About time, Tom Delay got indicted by Grand Jury in Houston, Texas. Bill Frist is being looked in the investigation related to the insider stocks which he sold the shares then few days later, the stocks plummeted. Which indicated that he knew of its plummeting values. One word: Greed. Greed is becoming a common thing with the Republicans in Congress. Rep. Tom Delay moaned, "This is one of the weakest, most baseless indictments in American history. It's a sham." Please.

Payback Is Bitch, David Dreier! It is great to know that the Conservatives balked at the idea of Rep. David Dreier, R-CA from becoming the House Majority Leader. David is closeted gay who appointed his lover, Brad W. Smith to be his Chief of Staff and made him the highest paid staff among the Capitol Hill. Not only that, they travelled more than 25 countries in 5 years ... together. Lived together. What does it says? He supported many anti-gay legislation bills and now he's being discriminated. Payback is bitch, hon.

Always Halliburton ... ! Halliburton got the no-bid contracts to fix up the devastated neighborhoods that were ravaged by Katrina and Rita. This is the same company that Dick Cheney once ran as President and overcharged the Pentagon billions of dollars in Iraq. And our government is still doing business with this company out of Houston?

BlogActive Did It Again! BlogActive outed Jeff Berkowitz with a bang. Way to go, BlogActive!

Idaho Earthquake: According to the DrudgeReport, there was an earthquake in Clear Creek, Idaho -- about 10 miles southeast of Cascade, Idaho -- 3.7 on richter scale. I blame Richie Moses -- he probably fell off the bed and jolted the area. ;-)

Intriguing Stuff About ...: I had been reading about Taylor Behl, a female student at Virginia Commonwealth University who was reported to be missing and still is ... lots of drama ensued. I did not mention about it until Jason Lamberton indicated that he's sick of hearing about her down in D.C. - I figured if anyone else wanted to know about Taylor Behl, they can check on this link.

More Military Idiots To Be Proud Of! Sempfer Fi! FYI: This will piss Arabs, Muslims and Iraqis more and yes, more US soldiers will be blown away and die as well. Just expect more coffins on the way. Look at the pictures -- Why did they smile? Or even poking fun at charred body? Not only that, the Army claimed that they cannot prove that these pictures were traded to a website for the free access to porn websites. Of course, most soldiers are sick perverts. It always make me smile when people say naive things about soldiers.

It is travesty that the American media cannot publish the pictures of American soldiers mangled, but allowed us to look at Iraqis' mangled bodies. We can count our DEAD soldiers but no need to count THEIRS. Their explanation: They ain't important, therefore we should not know a thing about 'em.

Believe It Or Not: Last night in Center City, I wandered from a bar to the other until I entered the Woodys Bar. Just because it was on my way back to a place where I was staying at, so I went in for a drink. Shortly, I met a charming fellow. Bit older than me, but still charming. He was so sweet and funny. We talked and kidded with each other. He asked me if we could get together and maybe hit the kayaking. I never tried that before. It'd be cool -- I told him that I'd like to do that.

We talked a little about this, that and there. My guts said that this fella is Republican. I asked him to circle: DEMOCRAT or REPUBLICAN. He saw it and hesitated and circled the dread word but quickly wrote, "Please don't do that to me. I'm registered Republican but I don't like GW Bush."

I smiled and said, "You're still cute. I'd love to go out with you sooner or later." He beamed a huge smile and leaned in for a kiss. He was quite the kisser. Shocking, is it? He's cute, funny and smart. That's what counts the most, I guess.

This Is Not Surprising! I'm not surprised with this outcome -- am working on a plan to live in Center City, though. This will enable me the means to hop on NJ Transit to New York, Atlantic City, or on Amtrak train to DC or Boston. Which is why I wanted to operate my business in this area.

Oh, Yeah! Bitch Session is due this Friday at midnight. Start fire away.

Oh, Yeah! Part II: The anchorman said on BisonTV.com, "Curious about the next election of Gallaudet University President ..." Somebody please tell Jon Kessel that nobody gets *elected* to be the President of Gallaudet University. Instead, the Board of Trustees merely select a candidate.

Oh, Yeah! Part III: Gallaudet football team is now 3-0 after thrashing of Berean Institute, 32-22. Coach Ed Hottle is still HOT. One day, I'll have to sit and drool at his antics. And his basketcase if the rumors are correct.

Few Tidbits for 9.27.05

Shawntinice Polk Is Dead: This is shocking revelation when I read The Philadelphia Inquirer last night that Shawntinice Polk, a bright star player for the University of Arizona who averaged 15 points per game and 9.5 rebounds per game, collapsed and died at the Tucson campus. She was not practicing nor working out at all. Why did I mention her? Virginia held 2-0 lifetime versus Shawntinice Polk and in each game, Shawntinice Polk came up big for the Wildcats. It is just sad to see her go -- she's only 22.

UPDATE: It was reported that Shawntinice Polk had Pulmonary Blood Clot in her heart, a rare but fatal one.

Guess What? You thought Michael Brown was removed from FEMA as the Director of FEMA? Yes, he was. But he is still on the payroll. Which means what? He still answers to the Bush Administration. His hearings with Congress comes with no surprise -- he is shifting the blame on local and state officials -- probably on an order from the Bush Administration to exonerate themselves of the responsibility.

Some people mentioned that it was admirable for GW Bush to accept the responsibility. Did he ever apologize? No, he never did. Think about it.

Currently in Center City: I'm here in Woody's Bar, just got here from checking out the stores. It is good to see Travis and Bev once again. I told Bev about my passion to set up a bed & breakfast inn but was not sure about the name. She suggested, "Bulge" -- I thought it was hot if I name the business "Bulge" -- what do you think of the name?

Watch Out for Bob Rittenhouse & Ralph Osborne: It is distressing, but not surprising, to learn that in Knoxville, Tennessee -- people like Bob and Ralph are doing things to harm others by ruining their careers. Ralph is well-known for being liar, manipulative and thief who lives off on government assistance for years in Northeast Tennessee. I grew up in Virginia and I knew of his name. People warned me not to loan, trust or believe anything that comes out of Ralph's mouth ... or his ass. My cousin lost his job with CSD as installer after Bob Rittenhouse and Ralph Osborne conspired to attack my cousin's reputation by telling CSD bad things. And as expected, CSD dismissed my cousin without any due process.

CSD is famous for dismissing people without any due process. Especially with Tim Rarus. I think someone has to get the IRS to investigate the CSD. That would be a good retaliation, in my opinion. Mary, as you can see why I think Tennessee sucks big time. Just look at people down there.

Last Night, Something Cool Happened: A bartender at a certain bar in Center City asked me to stay until everyone left the bar -- and he locked the bar. Closed the curtains and dropped his pants. He bent down to take my cock up his ass and I went to do the deed.

Yes, it was hot. To fuck a bartender in a bar is so fucking hot.

Up next is a Mormon guy in a Mormon Church someday.

9.25.05 Tidbits

Still Desperate For More! Whoa! Desperate Housewives opened its second season with a bang. Absolutely hilarious to see Ida's challenge with God. The ending part is chilly. I could not tell whether if the hands were white or black. Perhaps in time, we shall find out.

Great, Now Beachgoers Better Watch Out! Another reason not to go to the beaches.

Remember Pat Tillman? This boy was shot by our own Armed Forces in Afghanistan then he was painted as a hero who died fighting Taliban and Al-Qaeda but the Army withheld the information for five weeks that it was our own soldiers that killed Pat Tillman. You can read the comprehensive article of what is wrong with our brave, heroic idiots. Read what one soldier said, "I could hear the pain in his voice as he called out, ‘Cease fire, friendlies, I am Pat f—ing Tillman, dammit.' He said this over and over until he stopped, I then looked over at my side to see a river of blood coming down from where he was ... I saw his head was gone.” Yep, you get it right -- his head was blown away by our own. Congratulations! Sempfer Fi!

Day of Mourning! Ashton Kutcher married. This is sad day. Really, he's hot. I'm sure Demi will share him with me someday. ;-)

God Has To Be Gay!! Look at his Angels, they looked like men. Plus, God is considered to be He. And so far, he has been ravaging on Christians more than gays in the United States. Killed more Boy Scouts than gays, destroyed the credibility of Catholic Church, destroyed the rural areas more than the urban cities through hurricanes -- even flooded the parts of New Orleans where lots of Xians lived, gays mostly lived in French Quarter which was virtually untouched. I think it is safe to say that God does not like you, breeders.

More Anti-War Protesters, Less Pro-War Supporters: In Washington, the Police Chief Charles Ramsey said, " "That's as good a guess as any." when asked whether he thinks 150,000 Anti-War Protesters showed up? It is more likely that about 100,000 showed up. Only less than 400 pro-war supporters showed up the next day. What does it says about the Bush Administration? They do not care about your rights or freedom at all -- you must be delusional to think that they do care!

Ahh, SouthPark is on. I'm off! Tomorrow, I get to see Travis for few hours in Center City. That should be fun.

Yes, Dog Ate It

I was out last Friday morning on an errand while Gus and Jason attended one of their friends' funerals. I got home around 1 PM, was out since 8:45 AM. I noticed that Jason's dog, Roxy, has been staring at me as if she knew she did something wrong.

Probably another doo-doo on the floor or a pool of yellow piss somewhere -- at least, it is not my problem but my roommates! But there was no shit or piss anywhere else.

Something has to be up. I could not put a finger on it. So Roxy was not wagging her tail -- she was walking around very slowly ... when I filled the glass with water, I noticed that Roxy peeked at me from the living room.

That bitch did something, I swear.

But an hour later, I found out why in my bedroom -- Roxy has the habit of entering my bedroom and snooping around my stuff. She fucking ate and destroyed my plastic rainbow bracelet that I got in Toronto. It was all in bits!

Suffice to say, when I found out in my bedroom , I turned and screamed -- Roxy ran out of living room into Jason's bedroom upstairs. I'm sure the customers and workers downstairs who operates the Tailor Shop and Manicure Shop were startled to hear loud gibberish scream.

Suddenly, Lily and Skippy, also in the living room, two another dogs freaked out with my hoarse, gibberish sounds as they fled to hide upstairs along with Roxy.

They did not come down for about 2 hours.

Good for them. Did not have to butt-slap 'em at all. One loud gibberish voice did the job of punishing 'em.

Sigh, these dogs! They think they can take, take, take and take! And get away with the murder!

Remember the Cleaning Lady from The Goonies?

Today, I went to Independence Seaport Museum to celebrate Creative Access' 13th Anniversary Gala in Penn's Landing. Where is Penn's Landing? Of course, on the banks of Delaware River in Philadelphia.

The Independence Seaport Museum is gorgeous! I learned some new tidbits about the city of Philadelphia when I checked the place out. PJ Mattiacci invited me and few of my friends to the event. It was nice to see old and new faces.

Yes, the food were incredible. By time, I get to the auditorium, I was heavily buzzed. Gus and I kept on grinning about this, that and there along with Robert Traina and Jason.

There was supposed to be an open captioned movie called After Image acted by the woman that I abhorred the most -- Terrylene. But it never happened. None of us gets to watch it at all.

Among the participants at the Gala was Troy Kitsur. Troy was part of Big River with Ty Giordano in Los Angeles and New York. Troy was nice fellow, he was enamored about the birth of his daughter two weeks ago. His wife is none other than Deanna Bray, the actress on Sue Thomas: F.B.Eye.

I got to meet the producer who is planning to start producing a film in February here in Philadelphia. From what I understand, Lupe Ontiveros is slated to be part of this film. For many of you who do not know who Lupe Ontiveros is, let me refresh your childhood database -- remember The Goonies? The cleaning lady who only speaks in Spanish? Remember the scene where Corey Feldman speaks in Spanish to freak the cleaning lady? That is her.

Lupe also acted in the most recent successful TV show -- Desperate Housewives as the mother-in-law of Gabrielle Solis who busted Gabrielle in bed with the gardener and in the process, got hit by a car drove by ... it is complicated story. You have to see to understand how she died, not from the automobile accident but in a stairway. For her outstanding role in Desperate Housewives, she was nominated for Outstanding Guest Actress In A Comedy Series.

And much to my surprise, Lupe Ontiveros is the mother of Alejandro Ontiveros, a nice fellow that often hung out at 506 L Street parties and with Delta Sigma Phi fraternity. Very humble and quiet person who graduated from Gallaudet, I believe.

Small world, is it?

Either way, the whole evening at the Gala was simply nice and refreshing. It was good to see PJ, Robert, Tara Ann, Joshua and few others as well. It was nice to meet Abby, Ann, Dawn Ann and few others as well.

In a short time, I'll cover some tidbits about the film that is slated to be produced in Philadelphia with Lupe Ontiveros and few well-known names.

Stay tuned, though.

Cheers,
