Here's something funny, I can get into this blog, but I can't view it...alas...
Anyway I wanted to say to the blog fans, the info fans and the others...
Please feel free to join Sharayat Sakhmat @ Yahoo.

This is likely the last blog I will put here as being in China makes it impossible to run it effectively.

murderers
I know about them.
About how they wurk. How many of the army of ignorance and sickness did it take?
can't move, choking, can't even turn my head....
this zombie robot decided she was worth the effort, apparently.
no one who intentionally harms should receive anything more than Justice.
Animate beings all deserve Benevolence, and if they intentionally harm, within their Benevolence is Justice.
This 7 of 9 is dead to me...her shop burned, her body lain in coffin.
Betta get the wurd out...I'm not interested...at all...under any circumstances.
Did'n'no? Betta ask somebody.

Gay In Beijing
Hi gyz and gauls!
OutRites! Live in Beijing here,
as promised, a little update on what's queer, what's here and how I'm getting used to it.
Well, first off, although Queerness is not officially on the rulebooks in China, it is still relatively underground as the Communist Party, is apparently only a party for straights.
Homosexuality is still considered very taboo, and mostly , for the Chinese (who are largely undereducated on social issues) are still hush hush about such things. There is a scene here, but if you're a QuaiLo, it's a little more dangerous.
See, the thing is Chinese people are very into being Chinese, so if you show up at one of the local clubs, you'll get attention, but there's an underneath feeling of hostility (as though you're merely "shopping for exotics" as it were).
The 'on the street scene' is both subtle and overt, lots of sideways glances and completely over-the-top staring
(although I still can't determine whether it's because of my bizarre appearence) and, if you're gay and NOT LOOKING in the proximity, DON'T stand on the street looking at a map...you will be solicited.
In fact, if you're a gentleman who smokes, you may want to even reconsider sitting down in public and smoking as, this too (like America back in the day) is considered a high sign.
Personally, I'm not interested in these little clues as, if I am trying to find a particular place, I will not hesitate to stop and look at my map, nor will I refrain from smoking in public simply because I am a foreigner. Hey...straight Chinese guys do it...and generally, I'm a 'when in Rome' kinda person.
Some other issues include tattoo's, while they have gained popularity amoung the youth cultures in SE Asia (and have historic context in places like Butan, where the Buddhist Monks (and others) tattoo themselves RE: evil spirits), they are still generally thought of as reflecting criminal intent, so if you can avoid over-exposure, do it. (The problem I've found is that it's so bloody hot here a t-shirt and shorts are almost completely neccesary...therefore almost all of my ink shows...alas..:) teehee))
Although, I'm on a minimal budget so if you're Queer and money'd just wear non-revealing clothing and take a lot of cabs, or better yet, hire a personal driver. The exchange rate here is phenominal and money can be changed @ local branches of the Bank of China, Bank of Communications, Agricultural Bank.
The streets (other than directly downtown) are lined with acres and acres of mini-mall-esque type shopping. If you're looking for high-end clothing etc...keep to the shopping centers (you'll still get a good deal)
The temples here are magnificent. But I'm blogging about those, elsewhere on the net.
Well, that's all for now....:) I'm having a great time regardless of clear, other contexts or little social maladjustments...

Today
I did my first tattoo, on my own flesh, it's quite nice and will need some filling in, but, for a first attempt...STELLAR.
an unbrave new world
like crazy bees, the hover waiting for the next mental image
regardless of what I'm doing, like being John Malkovich
they are blind, I have sight
they are sick, I have health
they poke and pry and prod...mostly just prod
like amaebas, stimulus response
they are false, and disrespectful,
but these things have simply become a standard...a norm...
mostly, what they are is redundant...and terribly boring...the same program propoganda over and over, as though rote memory were my strong point
as though I was seeking some sort of extra knowledge which they have forced into my head, which has no meaning, apparently except to them...
u want to know what I'm saying? Read Greek mythology, read 1984, read "Brave New World"
study Catholic doctrine....
no....what this person is saying in my head is NOT new, NOT prophetic, and NOT, IN ANY WAY INTERESTING
the way they whistle...still, has no meaning.
The program still has nothing to offer except leather rules, blindness, disease and boredom.
Their god, apprently doesn't like men....awhhhh, that's too bad....
