I was going through my old poetry nootbook and found that I am missing more than several poems I had written less than 10 years ago! Man, I hope I find them soon! I found another poem and I don't remember if it was written by someone or by me. I won't take credit for it though. It's a good little poem! Here's the poem: unknown.

I found an old poem I had written less than 4 years ago!! Here's the poem: survive.

Craaaaap. I finally found out I am actually down with strep throat for Christmas! It's not fun to be sick during the holidays! :(

I am going to hate this Christmas. I am so damn sick right now, bloody, swollen glands and fever! Blah! But anyways, you have a great Christmas, too!

Yay!! Someone from Colorado is coming here to visit me! I am thrilled!

Stunning Health News About Hot Cocoa Sweet! Hot cocoa really is good for you. Sip a steaming mug of hot cocoa and you'll get more disease-fighting antioxidants per cup than a similar serving of red wine or tea, report researchers from Cornell University. Cocoa's antioxidants are almost two times stronger than red wine, two to three times stronger than green tea, and four to five times stronger than black tea, reports Science Daily. Antioxidants--vitamins C and E and beta carotene--are widely believed to fight cancer, heart disease, and aging. They may even help stave off the memory-robbing Alzheimer's disease. The Cornell study is the most extensive comparison yet of the total antioxidant content of cocoa, wine, and tea, arguably the world's most popular drinks after water. There's just one problem with all this: Scientists know antioxidants are essential for our good health and longevity, but they don't yet know how much we need every day. If you want to get your antioxidant dose from something sweet, there is nothing better than hot cocoa. And the key word here is "hot." Lead study author Chang Yong Lee says hot is better than cold. For some reason, when cocoa is heated, more antioxidants are released than when it's cold. Don't want the fat and extra sugar of hot cocoa? Use skim or soy milk instead of whole milk and an artificial sweetener instead of sugar. The study findings appear in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.

I am losing faith in the USA's government. Why? Read this! But I wonder what they will think when they realize the FCC's requirements will contradict this decision? For those goverment officials responsible for disapproving captioning for a lot of tv shows, they should have their ears shot and see how quick they will decide to decline captioning after they cannot hear!

Should I add simple webpage templates and AIM themes then post them here? Please add your comments!

I am sick and tired of Deaf people suing each other all the damn time. I understand there are some who sue for protection or within reason. But, damn it, some Deaf people need to learn to back the fuck off!

I made a new homepage here @ http://deafies.hang.at! Check it out!

This is a repost from my old blog on 21 December 2001: "Hey, you Deaf girls out there.. Listen here, I am not promoting "sex"! I am promoting "taking care of yourself".. Don't spread your legs and have sex with total strangers! If you are DYING to have sex, use a condom! Other people will judge you for getting AIDS/HIV or pregnant, but I will judge you for being a STUPID shit! Yes, I am mad at you. Harsh words coming from a friend who truly cares!" ..and 2 years later, most of them got smart! Unfortunately, the rest are still doing it.

Last night, I was assaulted and threatened by my exwife's husband. I want to have nothing to do with him or my exwife! My exwife divorced me almost 4 years ago! No doubt that she's the obsession that breeds obsession! If she is obsessed about something, she gets other people obsessed out it, also!

I will change the commenting system because the design and layout looks so much better with this Weblog Commenting by HaloScan.com!

I am adding a linkage page, then adding a random microbanner script to the bottom left corner of this blog. Please visit the links!! You can also add my microbanners and links to your site as well.

Please sign the petition to let DVD producers and distributors know that the Deaf would like the special features, bonus materials, deleted scenes and trailers to be captioned and/or subtitled.

I am going to start working on the archive pages. I noticed that my blog has been loading slower than before, so I will be breaking up into 7 days posts instead of 14 or 30 days. Hopefully, that will make my blog load faster.

You represent... loneliness.
Always alone and always sad about it... unlike
angst, you don't have to look for a reason to
be miserable. You want to be in the company of
people but aren't sure how to act when you're
with them. Sometimes you have to make an
effort. You can't always wait for others to
come to you.

What feeling do you represent?

I am studying BlogSkins specs and codes. Why?? I am preparing to make blog and profile templates. Most of the templates will be made for opening inside AIM Today's window. I still need to figure out if it is possible to make my templates work on MSN Today or not. If you know the answer to that, please let me know!!

Just editing a few bugs on this blog. Added links to my friends' blogs.

Freaky, what the Hell did I do?? I did nothing to hurt you, that I am aware of. I would never intentionally hurt you at all! You know that! It hurts that you blocked and ignored me without reason or explaination. If it has anything to do with my situation with Marc, then I am disappointed that you lied. You promised you would never take sides. If you are going to play the "cold-hearted bitch" game, then be my guest!

Have you seen this commercial ASHA made? You can go HERE to view the commercial I was talking about. Watch the advertisement showed where this guy was driving an old VW Beetle in heavy traffic. He was not looking where he is going as he is trying to get out of the very noisy traffic jam. He went reverse and hit the vehicle behind him, then he moved forward and hit the vehicle in front of him. Their slogan is "Keep an Eye on Your Ears!" After watching the commercial, it left me feeling appalled and offended! It felt like I should be damned and not allowed to drive because I can't hear! It didn't help any better that the commercial was not even closed-captioned! Try watching that commercial again with the sound turned off. What's the idea you are getting from watching that commercial? I understand not all commercials would be closed captioned. But aside from the captioning issue, I am more concerned with the ASHA commercial giving hearing people a general idea that Deaf people cannot drive! Here are some added comments from people I know and hope they don't mind that I am sharing this with you: Patty: My perspective of that commercial.. get your hearing checked every once in a while because hearing people do not realize they are actually losing their hearing bit by bit. The commercial is actually promoting "healthy hearing". Marc: At first, when I saw this commerical, I did feel that it exhibited a message that people who have lost their hearing drive badly and will crash into other cars. I felt that it would compel the hearing people to think that hearing is very critical for driving, therefore deaf people should not drive at all. I know that it is not the intention of the society to broadcast that message. We already have enough hearing people who think Deaf people can't drive, so we don't need a commerical to validate that belief system. Here are several email addresses I got from their website: actioncenter@asha.org leader@asha.org ethics@asha.org Please email ASHA to post a public explaination that their commercial is not intended to encourage hearing people's misconceptions that Deaf people cannot drive, and/or ask them to remove the commercial and post a public apology. http://www.asha.org
