or it's nearly equivalent

it's a pact, it's a covenant

promise you're still hellbent on keepin'

Raid 2 is one of my favorite action movies. Yuji vs Choso is most definitely a sweet homage to the film.

GLSEN meeting 1997

June 11, 1997

Good talk with Jim. Gave me a chance to integrate tonight’s GLSEN meeting. Interesting politicking. A study of the left as it studies the right. Great that Mrs O. is there. She’s vice president. She feels bullied by the religious right at Downey High. Teachers are afraid to go to GLSEN meetings. Afraid to be seen there.

Saw Jack there, along with Sam and Harry. The same guys that do Hand to Hand. Where are all the rest of the guys and gals? What do they participate in? It’s really quite a brave and gutsy movement.

I spoke out at the meeting. Left me feeling raw and raped a bit—but—it needed to be said. I have a voice, too. And experiences. They have worth, merit and value.

Notes 7/6/2024

GLESEN  is an organization established in 1990  that “believes that every student has the right to a safe, supportive, and LBGTQ-inclusive K-12 education.

Hand to Hand was an organization that I belonged to in Sacramento in 1986-1987. We volunteered to help people with Aids through their illness and death, when I moved back to Modesto in 1987, I joined SCAP (Stanislaus County Aids Project) to do the same work. In the above entry, I use Hand to Hand" as short hand for both groups.

Jack, Sam and Harry (not their real names) were gay men and SCAP volunteers.

George Lucas attended Downey High School in Modesto. He changed its name to Dewy High in the 1973 film  American Graffiti set in 1962 Modesto, California.

Jim, at the beginning of the entry, was my new boy friend, Jim Wentzel. I had just met him for the first time on May 10,1997. We were together as gay partners until his death from liver failure in 2009.

Spreen was tired to say the least. Sure, all he did these days was sleep and stay warm, but that didn't stop the cold creeping, and if this kept up spreen was going to throw himself into lava. Exercising made you warm, but that was a struggle when everytime he moved something else began to ache. He'd done a few things since he'd been back though, even starting a garden with ramón.

On that note, it had been awhile since he'd been out there, and he wasn't sure if ramón had really been watering them like he said to do. It was an easy enough choice, go see how the garden is doing and maybe take ramón along with you. Maybe they could even plant something else together.

That sold it really, more chances to hang out with ramón and really get to know the kid, like he had planned to all the months ago (he still want quite over it being months. God he hated the federation. 4 months of his life. Gone.). Sliding out of bed, he got himself dressed in some old clothes, ones he had left before he started his house up. His knees started to ache with all the movement he was doing, but who gave a damn. He sure didn't.

Coming out of his room and out of the house was easy enough aswell, fit wasn't around to say anything to him- not that he would anyways. (Sue him, he was still thinking about the warmth of fits hand. That was nice. The muscles that made up his hands started to ache as well).

Going up to ramón's house, he opened it gently, a bit surprised he was still even on the allow list. He had been sure he would've been taken off of it by now, but maybe all wasn't lost. It looked almost the same as to when he left, with the stuff he didn't remeber being there not standing out much.

Walking over to ramóns bed, the urge to wake up by dumping him out of the bed was strong, but no, he wouldn't. Instead, he shook the boy lightly, leaning over him with a neutral expression.

"Che, pibe. Despiterta."

The D. Gray Man Crows are all supposed to have exceptional combat skills, Kanda even states they all start training in early childhood, and they use a combination of martial arts and magic.

But what I could never figure out is why they wear the heavy, red ceremonial robes.

You know, the ones in this scene. Seems like a super impractical choice. Even if they can use magic, why would a martial artist wear something so bulky that could potentially hinder (possibly fatally) their movements? Not to mention the mask and hood restricting visibility.

But then I thought of Cho in Castlevania:

If Cho can fight in Heian period dress, then sure. Mystery of the Crow ceremonial robes solved, I guess.

Now I really want to see Crows fighting like this 'cause I can watch this animation of Cho fighting all day.
