ASUCD On Hold

This week was for the most part uneventful. Wenche came over on Thursday but wanted to stay inside most of the the day due to the fact she was still a little sick and we didn't have a car. We had some plans to go to "Davis is Burning" but that was called off when she went back home today. Wenche wants me to go to more of these "events," which is fine. My knowledge of LGBT and gender issues is comparable to Wenche, it's not too hard to learn everything there is to know on the subject. I have no problem going to Generation Sex Week events or Davis is Burning, I was kind of looking forward to it. Sometimes when I go to one of these events or a GASC meeting the mood suddenly becomes cold and depressed; my presence alone causes people to watch what they say and do. I hope to change that perception or wait for the institutional memory to fade out.

As for Solidarity, I repeatedly asked that it be taken off the Davis Wiki. When the very people that had provided all of the information later recant everything you would expect for it to be deleted. Somehow Jabber and the other editors would rather have it kept up out there as a mini forum for people to trash it. For those of you bold enough to make comments, we are not listening. But anyway, just one of many things that will not occur on the Redding Wiki. I am quite pleased with how the Redding Wiki is working. I get to work on it with relative peace, virtually every Davis Wiki editor has been banned by now, I would be surprised if any pop up. I hope to contact the Redding Record Searchlite on Monday and see if I can get a press release out there. People from Redding who may still know me from back when will be surprised to see that. Once I have donations or an income building I will get a domain name for the Redding Wiki which will stop the conspiracies on the Wiki Spot of killing the Redding Wiki.

From the very beginning I assumed the Davis Wiki forces would try to kill the Redding Wiki so I decided to save all of the Redding Wiki pages, all 192 of them on Microsft Word documents. So, in the event it is deleted it will be really irritating but I can get it back to before within a day. Also, there are quite a few administrators on the Redding Wiki including some back up accounts to be used if my primary user name is somehow deleted or banned from Wiki Spot. The more time that goes by the more I get the impression that either the Davis Wiki forces can't or are unwilling to delete the Redding Wiki. With that in mind I feel quite content right now. As for the Redding Wiki failing to meet expectations, it is now the 5th highest California Wiki city and will soon be the 4th highest within a week. Many city wikis at first are constructed by only a few individuals. As for Karl Mogel complaint that the Redding Wiki is somehow being denied by his inability to participate that would be quite an exaggeration; I have all of the photos I will ever need of Lassen Volcanic National Park and anything else I need.

As for ASUCD I am going to try to work with any Independents that managed to get their signatures in. Right now I have a lot of issues to deal with like buying a car, a new apartment, dealing with the city over the non-profit status of Solidarity, my two banks, KDVS, and job searching. So ASUCD is not on the top of my list right now. Once I have all of my issues figured out I will be able to deal with ASUCD; I can wait, I am not going anywhere for some time.

But there are a few things that annoy me. My first annoyance is Max Mikalonis who went to Becky's house and trash talked about ASUCD until she decided to drop out of the Senate race. Not only is that a bit messed up that you would go through her to attack me but you are a poor excuse for an ASUCD official. That is the exact opposite of outreach and I know you hate ASUCD but misery loves company right. The second is Andrew Bianchi who also talked Michelle Fisher out of running and then told her she could get a position within ASUCD that is not even open. Yeah, you lost, but thanks for putting someone else down. And worst of all is GO. Natalia and Eric both sent messages to all of the candidates telling them to drop out and trash talked me and Wenche. I get called a bastard and a creep all the time but this is a little different because I don't have anything to lose, the candidates do when you discourage them and tell them lies about the system. I got all sorts of stories. One is the campaigning is a 15 hour a week commitment, maybe for your slate, but not for us. Then, another one was that they should get some commission experience before running. That's helpful except GO has no representation in the commissions, never will, never has. You guys have no experience at all, and you know the establishment only promotes their pals and allies to the commissions. In sort, you guys deserve to lose and I hope GO takes a dive. I know so much on you guys, it makes me sick that you can get away with what you guys do in your personal and political lives. Wenche and I will outlast your stay at UC Davis and then we'll reverse your non-existent agenda.

On November 5th I will chill with the Yolo County Republicans and see what is going on for the election and what not. I haven't been tracking city news much but I get the impression that there are only four people running and three of them are incumbents. I see the incumbents easily winning if it stays as it is, which is fine I suppose, I don't really agree with Sue Greenwald on most issues. Davis is so different than Redding and the more I work on the Redding Wiki, it becomes more and more clear.
