And What Is Tim Kettering?

Who is he? That guy, Tim Kettering, is pure anal retentive. When I first knew of him at Gallaudet, he was in the closet. In fact, he vehemently denied that he is pure faggot.

Not that I was interested in him, I never find him attractive at all. He is what I termed: A twink wannabe. Naturally, people are prone to make fun of others' based on appearances, intelligence or social skills. I'm very certain that there are some people that made fun of me at times. So making fun of Tim was easy, though. He's what you'd call: Pizzaface because of his bad acne all over his face.

Basically, he was rude, abrasive and condescending towards anyone else. In other words, he lacked civility and respect for others who disagreed with him. At Gallaudet, he made fun of gays when he was in the closet. Then he left school, and conveniently came out of the closet.

I think he is intelligent and ... bitter. Especially towards people that he did not like nor agree with. And I'm one of these people that he loathed. I thrive on the fact that he despised me just because I said as it is.

When I posted the poll in my last entry regarding the new blogsite, I withheld several names from being mentioned on the poll because I suspected that people like Tim Kettering would go out of his way to purchase the sites to block me from getting it. And my suspicion was correct. Tim Kettering of 1317 R Street, NW in Washington, DC purchased all names that I mentioned on the poll. Good thing he fell for that bait.

I'm so thankful I took out about 4 names off the list because I expected people like you, Tim Kettering, to do the exact thing!

Tim always claimed that I was vicious and all that, but in this situation, who started it all? Tim Kettering. I think I'll leave the readers to judge what kind of person Tim Kettering is. Oh, by the way, this is not the first time that Tim Kettering has done stuff like that to me. I never started anything at all with him. It is always him that started things with a malicious approach. I do not think I even mentioned what kind of person he is on my blog in the last three years, and Tim managed to irritate me at times.

And I have some friends who, unfortunately, are also friends with Tim, they seemed to be oblivious to the fact that Tim is anal retentive at its best. Perhaps, this should serve as a warning to others that Tim could do that to anyone else who disagreed with him.

What kind of person is Tim? A pure coward faggot who could not deal with me upfront but is able to irritate me like a fucking gnat at times. Childish and pitiful character, though.

Oh, by the way, I purchased a new site! In time, I'll be ready to operate a new blogsite. Wish me luck!

Cheers,

Decisions and Lesbian Story

It is true. The rumors are right. After 3 years of using blogger.com, I'm ready to move on. To a new website. But since "ridor.com" is taken by some fool in Las Vegas, I'm open to any suggestion. You have 48 hours to help make me decide with the name of a brand-new website.

No, my current blog's archives will be moved to a new website, simply put. I intend to redirect this to my new website in few days. But I would like to hear your feedbacks in order to make it very accessible for anyone else. Except using the sounds. Who gives a shit about that, really? Of course, a new layout will be crafted in my own image. ;-)

Decisions Has To Be Made, What Name Of Website Should I Name For My Blog?
www.ridorism.com
www.ridor9th.com
www.theoneandonlyridor.com
www.ridortheterrible.com
www.TheRidor.com

On Turino Olympics: Suffice to say, it motivated me to contribute my time and energies to 2007 Winter Deaflympics in Salt Lake City.

No. 2 Duke 88, Virginia 65: Coach Ryan has outlived her coaching abilities after 29 seasons. It is time for a change.

Snowstorm vs. East Coast: It looks like the massive blizzard is slated to hit DC, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York and Boston today or tonight. In Richmond, they said that we get about 2-4 inch of snow if not for rain. If snow, it may interfere with Richmond's first DPHH event at Capital Ale House tonight. The snowstorm may end up ruining BLADeaf's (Baltimore Leather Association of the Deaf) Leather contests in Baltimore, Maryland. Only time will tell.

Smoking Ban In Virginia? Bizarre legal process in Richmond. I'm not sure how it works but I hope it paves the means to ban smoking in restaurants and bars. The smokers does not have the right to smoke in bars/restaurants, mainly because they are the cause of secondhand smoke. Once they smoked these damned cigarettes, they infringe others' rights to breathe under normal circumstances!

Deaf Woman Arrested In Sioux Falls: Daphne Wright was arrested in the murder of Darlene VanderGiesen in Sioux Falls. It appears to be some kind of lesbian triangle. Since they mentioned three women being involved. Check this out. This is big news in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

2.10.06 Tidbits

Ex-Giants Not Allowed In Super Bowl: In Detroit, former NFL lineman for New York Giants, Roy Simmons, who eventually came out of the closet as gay and HIV Positive, has claimed that the Super Bowl in Detroit denied him the press credentials to get in while others received them.

On Second Thought, Ex-NFL Player OK With His Gay Son: This is very charming article about the former NFL player's gay son.

My Letter To Style Richmond Two Weeks Ago: I do recall writing a letter to the Style Richmond (mini-Village Voice from New York or DC's City Paper) about Brokeback Mountain. I kinda forgot about it until my hearing sister mentioned it last night. I found the link. I did my part, did you?

On Second Thought, Who Wants To See ... ? Heath Ledger's penis? Then click on this. [Work not safe, of course!]

Oh, This Is Not Good: Former President James Carter's son is vying to be the US Senator, representing the state of Nevada, against Republican John Ensign. I'm not sure if this is good idea at all. Hat tip to Karen von Pills.

Wayne Gretzkly Scandal: Apparently, the authorities in New Jersey is sacking several people including Wayne Gretzky's close friend, Rich Tocchet because of its nationwide gambling on basketball and football. Wayne Gretzky is the icon of hockey. Now the reports are coming out that Wayne's wife was very active in gambling, spent more than $500,000 to that. Umm. Wayne claimed that he was not part of this at all.

My response: Bullshit.

Turino Olympics 2006: Like I told some friends, if I was a hearing person and lived in the northern states or Canada, I might be a speedskater. I seem to enjoy the sport more than anything else. Tonight is the Opening Ceremonies of the Winter Olympics in Torino, Italy. For some reasons, I'm not motivated to check it out. I'm more motivated about 2007 Winter Deaflympics in Salt Lake City!

Richmond DPHH: Tomorrow night at Capital Ale House, my sister is organizing the first Richmond Deaf Professional Happy Hour. It should be interesting. At first, Hedy and I talked about it. She thought about getting one in West End, I told her not to, mainly because since it is first time, it is always better to centralize it by going back to Downtown. And Capital Ale House is perfect place, really.

Virginia vs. Duke: Tonight, Duke will host Virginia in Durham (women's basketball, of course), hope the luck is in for Virginia to pull the upset over Duke. After all, Maryland beat No. 1 UNC last night by 3 in an overtime. Anything can happen in the ACC. Or not.

Nerve Agent? Few days ago, there was a nerve agent scare in the US Capitol. I suspect it was a way to derail something important -- like ex-FEMA Chair Mike Brown, who just told the Committee that GW Bush *knew* the levees were breached on the first night when Katrina battered Louisiana. GW Bush claimed he did not know. Another lie on GW Bush's part. As usual.

Penis, Outing & Redick

Is It Me Or What? I checked the news updates on rawstory.com which is a daily fixture on my part. There was a picture on its website which I glanced. At first, I thought it has something to do with Middle East (and it is!). But if you look at the picture, it looks like a penis ejaculating, or is it?

I guess some Muslims will want to decapitate me because I made fun of their Islamic beliefs. Pray for me -- never mind. I don't believe in that crap.

BlogActive.com Update: I personally think Mike Rogers is losing his credibility when he attempted to play a cat-and-mouse game in attempts to OUT people that worked in the US Capitol. He should just cut the chase and OUT them each time they violated the respect and dignity of gay men and lesbians in general.

However, Mike is now narrowing down to the list of 35 Republican senators -- one of them is married but plays with men at Union Station's infamous men's restroom. I had been to Union Station's restrooms just to pee. How can men play in that environment is beyond me. Its smell is pretty foul. However, I was staring at the names, I'm hoping for Cronyn (R-TX), Coburn (R-OK) or DeMint (R-SC) because they are pretty much anti-gay legislators, to say the least. But I'd love for Thune (R-SD) to be busted, simply because he's hot. I'd do him anyday.

Speaking of Hot Guys: What can I say about J.J. Redick? I'm not a fan of Duke Blue Devils. I'm not a fan of J.J.'s play. His constant scoring outbursts turned me off, I guess. But he is a good player, I admit. And when he buried a 3-pointer, he would flap his arms as if he was flying as he streaked across the court. That was so cute and condescending of him to do that.

I'm grateful that he's a senior as of now. I'm grateful that he hasn't won the national championship. I'm grateful that he only went to the Final Four once. As of yet.

Yet, each time he played against Virginia Cavaliers, he scorched them. In fact, he averaged 20.8 points against Virginia -- oh, I should mention that few weeks ago, he scored 40 points on Cavaliers in Durham.

I read that he has a girlfriend. I was not amused. He should be mine. Oh, well. I'm not fond of taller guys, I'm 5'6, he's 6'4. But I'll break the rule just for J.J. This Thursday, I may be in Durham, North Carolina to watch No. 2 Duke Blue Devils women's basketball play Virginia Cavaliers -- maybe I'll be lucky to see J.J. at the game. If not, damn my luck. Probably that Coach K reads my blog and warns J.J. to stay away from me.

I thought Bomani Jones wrote an exceptional article on the fact that so many fans hated J.J. Redick but could not come up with a good reason why they hated J.J. Redick. I do not hate him, I just wanted him for myself.

On second thought, why was he signing "7" in this particular picture? Was that a sign for me? Nah, I'm just fantasizing, folks. Relax your soles.

2.8.06 Tidbits I

Soldier Forced To Pay For Armor: In Charleston, West Virginia, a soldier was medically discharged from Fort Hood, Texas after being injured in a roadside bombing in Iraq. Then he was billed for the damage to the armor that he wore during the explosion. He was billed for $700. The local paper, The Charleston Gazette picked up on this subject. Then John Aravosis of AMERICAblog.org, a prominent liberal blogger, mentioned this and opened the donations to help William "Eddie" Rebrook.

Boom! $5,400 in all. And many dirty conservatives and whiny Republicans said that the Liberals hated the USA Armed Forces? I personally disliked the Armed Forces but in a period of struggle, I'm all for it. And the best part is that ... no Conservative/Republican has mentioned about this at all. I can vouch that they are not real patriots as they claimed to be.

The link from AMERICAblog.org also crashed The Charleston Gazette's server a while ago. There was an uproar in Charleston area where the prominent figures wondered what's wrong with the US Armed Forces. Suddenly, today, in Fort Hood, Texas -- they announced that this man will be reimbursed for $700.

But the point is ... why attempt to bill him in the first place when he was injured, serving for the United States?

Shut Up Conservatives & Republicans! Many conservative & Republican bloggers are trying to make a big deal that folks at Coretta Scott King's funeral, people took an opportunity to criticize GW Bush in his face. I say, go for it! Know why? GW Bush clamored that he's all for freedom of speech but often used his powers to block his detractors away as far as can be. Some Conservatives and Republicans attempted to speak for Coretta Scott King that she would be disgusted at how "Liberals" and "Democrats" used her funeral to punch in GW Bush's face. Please get a clue. Coretta probably are smiling right now, knowing that the opportunity is there for others to bombard GW Bush of his policies. It was fun reading some conservative bloggers who whined about this. Grow a spine, I say.

Spell This: I W-I-L-L S-U-E Y-O-U! Very amusing article.

Brokeback Mountain Captioned But Not Right Now: On February 19, that is. That would make 72 days, equalivent to more than 10 weeks (2.5 months) of waiting for the film to be open captioned so that Deaf people can watch. The first place to show the captioned film of Brokeback Mountain is Rockville, Maryland. For further information, check this website. Hat tip to Aaron.

Oh, Good Riddance to Lance:
I never liked Lance Armstrong. I was disgusted with his antics. Especially when he was ill, his wife took care of him. Then he got healthy, he divorced her for Sheryl Crow. Now Sheryl Crow dumped Lance. I'm so glad.

Coretta Scott King & Andrew Walter, Las Vegas and Gallaudet!

Is Andrew Walter Gay or Not? Perhaps he is, perhaps not. But nevertheless, his profile was found on Myspace.com -- maybe someone did this as a prank. Maybe it was Andrew Walter, Quarterback at Oakland Raiders, who is lonely and is in need of a male companionship. Be nice if he comes out of the closet, fellas. If not, I can always fantasize about Bill Cowher, the Head Coach of Pittsburgh Steelers, his jaw-faced personality is a huge turn-on. I understand why he coached the Steelers for 14 seasons, he is married to 4 females in his house -- his wife and three daughters. I mean, everything in his house is so girlie! So cute when Bill attempted to suppress his smile with 1 minute left in the Super Bowl.

Coretta Scott King Honored: In less than 3 months, two prominent figures of the Civil Rights Movement has died. First Rosa Parks, now Coretta Scott King. Either way, both deserved the honor and respect from every American citizen. My hats off to the Governor of Georgia for making sure that everyone can pay her respects in its State Capital, making Coretta Scott King the first woman and first black person to do that. bon voyage!

Priceless Comments from Hobo: Loved this stuff from New York!

Speaking of New York: I'm heading off to New York on February 22, then fly off to Las Vegas on Feb 25 to March 1. Yep, flying with the same friend that I went last May. Yes, I'll get to see my second Cirque du Soleil in Las Vegas. I'll check "O". Chris said that he heard that it is good. Can't wait for this!

Now About Gallaudet: As much as I love Gallaudet, there is something wrong with Gallaudet. I was alarmed to learn about its antics. Especially with its relationships with corporations such as Kellogg, Coca-Cola, Sprint and Sorenson. I learned that Sorenson has forced Gallaudet to agree that if the students invented something in its new building (SLCC), Sorenson has the right to patent and own it for a certain number of years.

Excuse me? Where was Sorenson when we were here 10 years ago? They were not active participants of the Deaf Community at large! They are simply locusts, taking what they see in profits. Yes, they may have won the competition over CSDVRS, but for them to come in Gallaudet University and start to dictate the policies surrounding the new building just because they donated some cool $5 million does not mean that we have to submit to that audistic attitude! If they increased the amount to ... say ... $25 million, I might change my mind. But $5 million is pretty cheap donation, coming from a big-time corporation businessman like James Lee Sorenson who is worth $43 billion dollars and No. 73 on Forbes' List.

People has tendency to forget that James Lee Sorenson does not manage only Sorenson Video Relay Services. In fact, the SVRS is one "small potato" (to quote someone else!) out of many companies that James Lee Sorenson spawned, thus making him a billionaire to start with.

Perhaps Dr. I. K. Jordan has to stop coddling these businessmen. Perhaps it is good thing that he is going to be retired but again, he could leave a huge trail of mind-boggling legal mess for the University to clean and adjust.

Look at Kellogg, they just contributed money to Gallaudet and suddenly, the University gave the Conference Center to them. Spring contributed -- boom! We give them Sprint Multipurpose Room. Coca-Cola contributed -- BOOM! -- Gallaudet gave them Coca-Cola a room where Career Center is located at. I guess, if Gatorade donated a cool $10 million to Gallaudet for its Field House, we'd have to name after them as well.

Where is the sense of decency on our part? Giving our scraps to the corporations that has done nothing for the Deaf Community in the last 200 years?! I completely understood that business is business, we have to name after these corporations to foster such relationships so that someday, we might be lucky to touch that "old floating money" that has been denied to us for years. Like someone else said that it helps Gallaudet's future but it harms the current students in the process. A double-edged sword, really.

Laurent Clerc was the first Deaf teacher in North America and Gallaudet had the audacity to name him after a dorm, not any educational building like at all. Never mind that they associated Laurent Clerc with the pre-college programs, I'm talking about his association with Gallaudet University!

And I got this information from someone else who alerted me to this website at White House. Check the link for further information. It makes you wonder what Fred Weiner, Special Assistant to the President in Planning, has been doing so far?

What it was being said does not surprise me. And reading Fred Weiner's website made me wonder about many things. But again, perhaps Gallaudet is going through a period of parenthesis. With a new change, maybe the Fates will smile upon Kendall Green once again.

Cheers,

2.7.06 Tidbits

59 Days And Counting: InSightCinema.org still hasn't distributed Brokeback Mountain. That is 8 weeks or 2 months. Gee whiz, anyone surprised with that?

Whua-Hey?! Last night, my sister mentioned that Richmond Times-Dispatch had an article that featured my comments regarding my compliants about the lack of open-captioned films in the area. Check the article if you want to. Hat tip to Hedor.

About Ben Soukup: Someone sent me the exact address of Ben Soukup's house so that I can google his home via EarthGoogle. Yeah, I saw the home. But I declined to provide the means because it is invasion of one's privacy. I feel it is inappropriate to give the link to the exact location. Sorry but that is bit too much for my taste, I think.

Cochlear Implants = Bacterial Meningitis: According to FDA, the children with cochlear implants are at high risk in getting bacterial meningitis more often than the ones that did not get it. All I can say at this is: About time, honey.

My close friend, Erin Whitney, had bacterial meningitis last year, she was hospitalized for a week with 105 degrees. Her thoughts on this subject? "Meningitis funny zero." Hat tip to Carrie.

Virginia Cavaliers Succumbed to No. 6 Maryland Twerps: Gee. Thanks to the Ewans, I was able to watch Virginia women play Maryland Twerps in Comcast Center last Sunday at noon with Darlene. Thanks to Referee Bryan Enterline's bad officiating (trust me, he was that bad!), Maryland won the contest, 85-71.

It was a game of spurts. Virginia came back within six, then Bryan took over and called fouls on Virginia one too many. Screw the Zebras! Argh. Then I had to endure the barrage of heckling comments by Darlene's father who seemed to enjoy in trashing my beloved Cavaliers. But I'm tough lad -- the Cavaliers is now 13-8 heading into this weekend's tough match-ups versus No. 2 Duke and No. 1 North Carolina. God preserve us, please.

What About Mike "McWeenie" McConnell?
As I suspected all along, I cruised through the Gallaudet yearbooks to see what kind of "activities" that this fool has been doing when he went to Gallaudet sometimes in the past. Apparently, this guy ... did practically do nothing at Gallaudet. He did not join any organizations. Perhaps this is the reason why he was virtually unheard of at Gallaudet. And yes, he ended up marrying a cafeteria worker. Bubba, you need to earn some stripes before you claim to represent the Deaf people in general, especially with your kind, on your blog.

Jacob Robida's Rampage: Jacob Robida used the fake ID to get in a gay bar in New Bedford, Massachusetts. He ordered two drinks then went on a rampage and injured three persons, using a gun and hatchet. He then drove to Norfolk, Arkansas where he ended up shooting a police officer dead and his friend dead. Then the cops in Arkansas blew his head off. And I have the access to Jacob Robida's myspace profile. I visited his profile -- it was filled with racism and all that. Very disturbing. Then boom, someone erased his profile. Go figure. But if you want to see his profile as is, you can find more about his profile through this article. Oh, by the way, Jacob's family member signed the anti-gay marriage petition. Go figure.

And what about fake IDs? All I can say is: Big deal. Many teenagers will find a way or other to get it, like it or not. Big non-issue here at all.

Speaking of Barfeteria: The rumors are true, Gallaudet's Barfeteria is indeed good. Despite the fact that it is good, the students still whined.

New Species of Animals Discovered! This is cool, man!

TV's CSI: Blame Me! I enjoyed watching CSI:Some City at times and sometimes I wondered if it actually helped criminals to polish their criminal activities. Apparently, it does.

Aguilera vs. Spears: I love it when Christina Aguilera talked trash about Britney Spears and I guaranteed that in the next few days, Britney will badmouth Christina ...

Volunteer ... ? After talking with friends, I may volunteer for this world-class event next year in ... Salt Lake City. Is that a hint already?

Muslim Extremists Need To Shut Up: They whined about the cartoons in Europe which ridiculed the Prophet Muhammad. The Muslims has many of their injustices in many areas, and they are so upset about this? C'mon. Even some fellas in Syria hinted that European countries need to be reminded of 9/11. I say, "Go ahead and do it -- nations in Europe reserve the right to retaliate if they did do something in their nations! Especially to Syria!" The drama in Middle East is absurd -- that is why I'm going to give you the link to my favorite gay porn star, Michael Lucas who wrote a great entry on this Muslim wacko drama.

That's All Folks! I met many people at Gallaudet last week -- it was nice to be back once in a while. To some folks that I could not really have the time to chat, there is always the next time, guys and gals. Oh, thanks to Lambykins for two shots of Absinthe. I really enjoyed the taste of licorice.

Cheers,
