I was watching an Animal Planet cable show a few days ago called, "Animal Cops: Houston". The animal cops drove to a Deaf couple's house and told the cameramen they are taking away their dogs because the Deaf couple had too many to care for. The animal cops tried hard to get the dogs in the cages and putting them in the trailer. What they didn't realize, it was almost more than they could handle. So, one cop asked the Deaf lady to help put the dogs in the cages. She went and helped them put the dogs in. The animal cops feel bad for her because they could tell the dogs really love the Deaf couple. The Deaf lady was very loving to her dogs as she picked them up one by one. Then, there were fewer dogs roaming the yard, so the animal cops got in the yard and started catching the remaining dogs. One of the cops happened to check the Deaf couple's house and found out they have many cats, too!! Damn! They had to catch the cats and put them in cages and carrying them to the street. They had to get a bigger trailer for the pets. The animal cops found a herd of geese near the pond as well, so they collected the birds. Shit!! Talk about the most embarrassing moment, being filmed on camera just for having 67 dogs, 15 cats and 10 geese! Lucky it is no one I know!
Thong Song for the Deaf.

Man!! I was asleep for a day and a half, from Friday to Saturday. I was so worn out and tired from being sick for 5 weeks. Ugh! However, I am doing a lot better and the sore throat is almost disappearing. I missed a craft and sewing fair in Phoenix yesterday. Next time there will be one, I will make sure I go! Mom just told me last Friday that one of my uncles had to go to the hospital last week. One of his arteries was 90% blocked! So they had to do a high-risk operation on him and everything went fine and well for him. I don't know how he is doing now because I haven't seen him and my aunt for a long time. I feel bad that I haven't talked to them in a long while. I would be pissed if my uncle did die and pass away. Why are the good ones dying and the bad ones stay alive? It gets to me sometimes! Another thing, my exwife called my parents last Monday. How the Hell did she know I was in Arizona? She was telling my mom Amanda was having some serious marriage problems. I just shrugged my shoulders and said, "Four times, Amanda. You did this 4 times to me and I am not going to let this happen again. I am not going to be your Mr. Fix-it anymore!" I don't know if my mom told her what I said, or if the relay person heard me say that. I could tell she sincerely wanted to talk to me, but I don't have the energy, patience and the heart to talk to her! She chose to divorce me, then she made it clear it was over between the two of us. FYI, I do not want her back in my life, period. It's a done deal. Hello?? I don't even want to have anything to do with her at all! Amanda, leave me alone. This is the life you chose and live it.

I Y Egg!
I can predict this. Next President, people will still bitch and whine. No matter what. People bitched and whined about Bush Sr. and Clinton, and now Bush Jr. What makes you think next one would be better or worse? Really, get serious. People need to take a chill pill and try looking at the positive sides of things during the Presidency!

I really don't like labels. I see myself as Deaf after learning ASL. When I was oral and didn't know ASL, I called myself hard of hearing. I am being myself and not pretending to be one or the other. When I communicate with people, I tend to use a form of communication that fits the majority of the group I am hanging out with. I think it is something I automatically do without thinking, it is just a habit that I match the best communication method for the group setting. For example: - If there are hearing people only, I would just talk and try lipreading. - If there are only oral & hard of hearing people, I would talk and sign the same time. - If there are 5 hearing people and 2 Deaf people, I would talk and sign the same time. I believe it is rude not to include Deaf friends in the conversation! - If there are only Deaf people in the group, I would only sign and never use my voice. - Depending on the grammar and comprehension levels of the person or people I am communicating with, I try my best to match my level so they would understand me better.

Still working on a morbid poem..
:: bound :: standing on the edge, looking down teeter, totter, nerves falling apart black, bottomless pit, growing vast swirling in, twirling out, spinning mind raw searing energy, dark and brooding gravity pulls, chains on my soul, tight grinding, binding, heart beating hard with eyes closed and clenched fists the ache is getting too much, naked deep in the shadows, bound by this life burning on the edge, struggling to stand tired, worn, legs buckling, kneeling down the beat of the heart, blood in the veins pumping loud, pumping anger, lungs on fire breathing in, breathing out, ready to scream bound by this life, malignant and cursed pushed by force, spinning and tossing (cont.)

Crap! I SO hate being sick! Stuffy nose, dry throat and cough are what I am having. In fact, I have a rolled up piece of toilet paper stuck up into my left nostril to plug the leaky bitch.
Fixed another bug with the permalinks.
