jeffcarlson's Xanga Deaf Porn Star: You May Not Like My New Job After a month of contemplating and talking this over with friends and family, I've decided to join as a castmember of Deaf Bunny. I feel that it is moving me into the frontier of new opportunity to explore and express myself in the profession of sex artist. While I acknowledge that none of people I know are supporting my dec...

ANOTHER THING ABOUT MINE BEING INCARNATED
jeffcarlson's Xanga One of the bitchiest thing to be while being locked up as a deaf individual is who to get ahold of. In this day and age, everyone use PDA (Sidekick, Blackberry, and iPhone) or VideoPhone. There is almost no way for me to get ahold of my friends or family to inform them of my situation. I spent so much of my time on the phone talking to the Directory Assistance Operato...

MOVIE TALK: There Will Be Blood
jeffcarlson's Xanga I hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate that movie. It sucked big time! It took me ten days to finish the movie. It is an insomnia-cured movie. I fell asleep everytime I watch the movie. There is no dialogue for the first 14 minutes of the movie. Just pure action. Now, I don't have problem with a movie that has no dialogue for that length of time, let alone from the...

jeffcarlson's Xanga HEARING PEOPLE CAN BE DISAPPOINTING(My Deaf vs. Hearing )I try not to stereotype people, but I cannot help it. It's hearing people. I am very cynical about them. It is this that, no matter what, they always end up disappointing me. Despite the fact that as a deaf person, I can talk and hear very well. I don't know statistically, but I think I am in one of top 10% [...]

jeffcarlson's Xanga DUMBEST QUESTION OF THE DAY(Phone conversation with the IRS representative)This is an exact transcript of dialogue between me and the IRS representative through the IP-Relay service.ME: I need to be sure everything is in order. I don't want to go to an accountant. My greatest deal is the hospital and doctor bills. Yadda, yadda, yadda... We were talking about how much [...]

jeffcarlson's Xanga BABEL: I So Am Pissed(Film Talk)Last night, I watched Babel starting Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchard, two of what I think are very underrated actors. The movie isn't bad. I like it. I will give it four stars out of five. However, I don't like the portrayal of a deaf girl in the movie. It shows that deaf people can be really pathetic (unfortunately, they can be in real [...]

MY THOUGHTS
jeffcarlson's Xanga - Reading Ridor's blog, I have to say this, as usual, he's the best there is as a deaf blogger. - I am really a trash when it comes to blogging. Seriously, I made fun of too many people. I find it interesting, as of last Sunday when Lisa Herbert told me, I have been nominated as the most funniest blog. Ok. Whatever. I honesty don't really care. But, to amuse myself, I [...]

TWO DAYS LOST
jeffcarlson's Xanga I have not been into Xangizing for more than a week now. It is hard for me to put things in words based what happened the past seven days. It is just humbling.Last week Friday morning, my roommate found me lying unconscious on the hallway floor between my bedroom and bathroom. Apparently, as I say it as it seemed, I woke up, walked to the living room of my home, then [...]

DECEMBER 9TH
jeffcarlson's Xanga I met my dad recently. It was nice and sentimental. We were talking. My dad said something supportive to me which was touching. Growing up, he did say few supportive things to me, but I did not feel much to it. Considering it was long time since I last saw him, what he said just went right to the heart. Then, he said he had to go. I begged him not to leave, because we [...]

I KNOW SIDEKICK II CAN BE FASCINATING, BUT...
jeffcarlson's Xanga Whenever I am in public using my T-Mobile Sidekick II, people usually would find it fascinating with that latest (but not so) gadget. They know it is a cell-phone with many different features. They find it fascinating that I would stare into the screen as I am reading and they find it fascinating that I am typing it endlessly. It's ok. If I have never seen or heard [...]

jeffcarlson's Xanga MY TAKE ON NEW INTERIM PRESIDENT(GALLAUDET) Early today, Gallaudet University has announced they have picked Robert Davila as their interim president starting January 2nd, 2007. My take on it: Davila is a figure-head. I knew him back when I was in MSSD and he was the Vice President of Pre-College Program (now known as Clerc Center). He allowed Frank Turk to run the [...]

MY TUESDAY AT THE HOSPITAL

However, I will go ahead and chronolize my trying day last Tuesday, two days old story.I got up earlier than usual around 5:30. I usually get up at 6 to 6:30 for work.

jeffcarlson's Xanga HE ISN'T THE FIRST TO COME UP WITH THAT LINE(Gallaudet)"Deaf people can do anything, but hear."Ever since March 13th, 1988 people have been giving I. King Jerk a credit for uttering these line. Truth as it is, he wasn't the first one to come up with that quote. My mother pulled that line on me when I was three years old, 13 years before that jerk took credit. My fifth [...]

COCHLEAR IMPLANTING ME, COCHLEAR IMPLANTING ME NOT
jeffcarlson's Xanga Yesterday, I went to see a Ear, Nose, and Throat specialist to see what's the deal with my ears. Last year during my stay at the medical research facility, I noticed my hearing level has gone down. I made no big deal about it. Then, couple of weeks ago, I went to DC to take part of the demostration, I noticed it has gone to almost nil. I couldn't hear much. First at [...]

For the past two months, the [...]

jeffcarlson's Xanga DEAFHOOD MOVEMENT SHOULD BE THE NAME OF THE CURENT PROTEST(Gallaudet Protest)In 1988, the protest was called DPN Movement, because it was about ending the ridiclousness by demanding that it's time to have a leader who is already deaf. That was the primary goal. The on-going protest should be called Deafhood Movement. I feel as I look on this protest, the purpose [...]

jeffcarlson's Xanga THOUGHT OF DAY(Gallaudet Protest) If the Board of Trustees don't do anything this Sunday like telling Dotor Jane that her ser vice to the Gallaudet University is no longer needed, the FSSA should add new demand. The demand is for every member of Board of Trustee, with exception of Ben Soukup and Harvey Goodstein, to resign. This is it! Good bye. We don't need people [...]

I SAW MY NAME!
jeffcarlson's Xanga No, this entry is not about Gallaudet protest. Just recently, I found my name on this week's ESPN magazine. It's on page 22. It's about a football team I ripped out as a terrible team. The ESPN magazine left it exactly the way I quoted, no editing whatsoever. Three weeks ago, I was reading several articles about that team, and one of the article asked the reader what [...]

jeffcarlson's Xanga STUPIDIEST BLOG I HAVE READ IN A WHILE(Gallaudet Protest)Gallybusters. It is a blogsite that mix truth with factual error, probably with malicious intent to confuse the readers.

jeffcarlson's Xanga MIXED EMOTION(Gallaudet Protest)Last week Thursday, my fifth day protesting at Gallaudet, I pretty much said to myself that I have had enough and was ready to go home on that following Saturday. I wasn't tempted to stay in DC a little longer, going to some get-together event like ESPN Zone. The cold Friday and brisly cool Saturday pretty much stamped me out of town. I [...]

jeffcarlson's Xanga TODAY I WONDER(Gallaudet Protest)Does Irving King Jordan have a stake in any of Alexander Graham Bell's companies? For years, I've heard that Jordan is a millionaire, not by his own means, but through outside investment like stock marketing and property owning. There's validation to my wonderment whether there is a relationship between the Gallaudet University and [...]
