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.

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:
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,
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.

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."

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?
