Who Am I in Love With?

NEW ORLEANS, September 20, 2017 — This link here is page #2 of an article about my sister’s current art exhibit, which link I have been searching for in order to print out the article. I am looking “down in the rabbit hole” for the link to page #1 now. You know that old people cannot figure out as much as they used to.

NEW ORLEANS, July 12, 2017 — Inside of every big, bad man lives a little, bitty boy. One of the fine little girls from my school story below (actually 2 grades above me) who was highly honored by her girlfriends for often beating me up in grammar school subsequently asked me to take her to her first prom when she was a junior in high school. Her exotic and romantic prom was on one of the river boats in New Orleans, and was the very day that I became 007, super agent man :).

In grammar school, I would hide in the bushes and shadows on the girls’ side of the school yard in order to watch the sexy little girls’ fine, pretty legs as they jumped rope and played hopscotch. I would even occasionally run out and yank their school skirt up to get a clean, bird’s-eye view. Ooh-Wee! The little girls often jumped me and beat me up. I LOVED IT! I actually also wrote about this in my first book DRIVE WOMEN CRAZY!

June 29, 2017 — Below is a year book picture of my dad, Ferdinand Delery Jr., in his 1945 graduation picture from Xavier University Preparatory High School. I think that my mom graduated the next year. I worked with my dad for many years; and he bought all of my tools for me. I also rented one of his houses from him when I got married which helped propel me into manhood.

Speaking of love! I am performing my act in a show tonight at the Neutral Ground Coffee House.

When my brother, Carl, was 19 years-old, we (he and I) had an apartment on Paris Ave. in New Orleans. He and his good friend and workmate, R.L., would occasionally stop at the apartment for lunch or after work and try to jack me up for some spending “change.” In New Orleans, we used to call it “putting someone on a #tip.” Meaning, in school especially, jacking people up and taking their lunch money.

Ooops! I hate to interrupt my story here, but I just had to say here that I AM TOO IN LOVE WITH THIS GIRL. I love her! I love her!

Back to my story! R.L lives in Atlanta now and Carl lives in New Jersey; so, my pocket change and myself have been safe from being on a “tip” for many years :)… until recently when Carl texted to me: P.S. Remember that post you wrote about being scared of me? I have been thinking about his text, and sense a little bit of a threat. Of course, you need more context; but taking his text on its own merit leads me to feel something menacing. Unless, he was joking; which I do not think so.

UPDATE: Carl 100% did not have me on a “tip” when we were young or ever try to put me on #tip. My error! I apologize to Carl for misrepresenting the facts. Sorry, Carl.

My latest song is: Who am I in love with today? Yes, I wrote a new song about a fantasy lady which creative piece I have already performed in public. However, I cannot expose my love for her across the whole globe because she is very unattainable and unsingle… boo-hoo. I plan to say more about this fantasy gal later on here in my blog. In the meantime, for now, I will pick one of the public figures whom I am in love with. Y’all already know that I love Sarah Palin. Until I finish writing this article (later on), I will express my true love for Sarah now. I LOVE YOU, SARAH!

sarah

Sarah looks very cute.

P.S. The other girl whom I spoke about above (and whom I personally know) is someone unattainable who lives away and bounces around in a different league anyway. We have flirted with each other in the past when she was single, but we most definitely cannot connect now. I wrote a “blues song” about her which I sing in small clubs; but I surely cannot go widespread with my feelings of love for her. This situation is totally something only the Good Lord can fathom in his ultimate wisdom. I do not think that on this earth there is any possibility for us. Zilch!

Pics of My Mom and Sibs

Here are five pictures of my family at a party. Plus, below I added several more pictures.

This is the picture (below) that I was planning to post individually. Everyone saw a different picture because people commented on that picture first.

This is a picture of 2 of my daughters and me at a wedding.

Why is my mouth always moving?

I also add Carl (my brother) here in order to not leave him out.

This week, I am studying the practice of jumping the broom. I believe that spiritually this practice is for real. However, legally and civilly, you have to abide by the laws of the State when it comes to being considered married in the eyes of the State.

Jumping the broom
This Wikipedia article is about the custom and phrase.

Jumping the broom is a phrase and custom relating to a wedding ceremony where the couple jumps over a broom. It has been suggested that the custom is based on an 18th-century idiomatic expression for “sham marriage”, “marriage of doubtful validity”; it was popularized in the context of the introduction of civil marriage in Britain with the Marriage Act 1836.

There have also been suggestions that the expression may derive from an actual custom of jumping over a “broomstick” (where “broom” refers to the common broom rather than the household implement) associated with the gypsies (Romani) of the United Kingdom.[2] especially those in Wales.[3]

walk

Jesus walks on water.

The custom of a marrying couple literally jumping over a broom is now most widespread among African Americans, popularized in the 1970s by the novel and miniseries Roots but originating in the mid 19th century as a practice in antebellum slavery in the United States.[4]

Ferdie Had Mucho Fun

I had a grand ol’ time at a party last night (Saturday). I will have more to say about my weekend later on, after I finish watching the New Orleans Saints football game. More fun!!! Hahaha… By the way, I had a lot of fun this whole weekend. Plus, I have made up my mind that I want to skip the Presidential debate on Wednesday because of the stress and darkness that Donald Trump lays upon my brain. I am feeling too happy the last few days for Donald J. Trump to rain on my parade. I stopped watching cable news for a minute anyway because Trump’s lies, sexual assaults and vulgarity have truly been grieving me out. I need a little break from the Trump mania.

This morning (Sunday) I had fun too very early while practicing my trumpet. I was practicing some spiritual hymns and worship songs. Of course the Lord laid some of His joy upon me for spending time this morning praising Him. Let’s hope that the New Orleans Saints also make me happy later on this afternoon. UPDATE: The New Orleans Saints made me happy this afternoon. Very happy!! I LOVE IT.

horn-rags

Fun!!! Those are my horn rags around my neck. I practiced a few songs on my trumpet this morning.

That bum, Donald Trump, is a billionaire and pays no taxes to the IRS unlike every other American across the country. He has no right whatsoever to be President of the United States of America.

Enjoying Rainy Day in Big Easy

NEW ORLEANS (Gazette) — Just because I said that I think that this girl (below) looks cute, my daughter said that she thinks this is a man. Really? Give me a break. My daughter also said that I need to get a testosterone shot since I am starting to look at men. LOL… People sure like to block me from getting ‪#‎at‬ these young, fine women. I have been Internet (social media) friends with this girl since the ‪#MySpace‬ days. In fact, she appeared on the Paris Hilton’s My New BFF show (actually, after we were already social media friends} until the show was cancelled. She replies back to some of my tweets and such. She has a boyfriend; I am totally just Internet friends with her. We have been social media friends since way back during the days when My Space was a “thing.”

Click the Paris Hilton’s My New BFF link here https://www.facebook.com/parisbff/ to see this sexy gal in the cast picture so that you know I’m not lying. For real! I follow her on my FaceBook page and on Twitter. She has occasionally replied back to me.

There are new numbers and percentages on Donald Trump

Dang!! Look at this stallion below. That’s what I am talking about. In my opinion, my legs and stuff are buffed up and fine like that (in a masculine way of course):). I just have to work on my abs and pecs which I, by the way, bought a work-out bench for. The only thing I cannot completely shape up like I want is my butt ..which butt I actually liked (and was proud of) when I was 2 yrs.-old.

marilyn

I think that I am the male version of Marilyn. I just forgot to go to Hollywood. Duh!

To explain why I said above that I liked my butt when I was 2-years-old (which I think is a little bit out-of-shape now) you have to understand the Freudian stages of human development. In Freudian psychology there are stages of psychosexual development in all human beings, the first two of which are the oral stage and the anal stage. According to Sigmund Freud, personality is mostly established by the age of five.  Early experiences play a large role in personality development and continue to influence behavior later in life.  http://psychology.about.com/od/theoriesofpersonality/ss/psychosexualdev.htm

The second stage of human development is the anal stage, and typically lasts until 3 years-old. I am sure that I had a successful anal stage. However, if a human being with the help of his parents does not have a healthy anal stage then in adult life the person can have either an anal-expulsive personality or an anal-retentive personality. These are explained at the link above. I might have a little bit of both, but I would love to sell some of my big butt to the many lovely female Hollywood stars who pay big money for bigger butts. Megan Fox, you want more juice in your caboose? Come here and buy some of this big butt that I have 🙂 …

Where Will Gretchen Carlson Work Next?

After fine, sexy-legged Gretchen Carlson of Fox News lost her contract with Fox where did she go? Where will that pretty cutie-pie work now? I miss her on her afternoon show. Gretchen’s contract was not renewed with Fox after she filed sexual harassment charges against her Fox boss, Roger Ailes.

The beautiful Gretchen Carlson of Fox News.

New Orleans (Gazette) March 17,2018 — My oldest granddaughter Diajelle Batiste’s grandmother MiMi (my ex-wife) asked me to print this certificate out to give to her mother (my ex-mother-in-law). Diajelle (who makes 17 this weekend) was selected as a member of the National Honor Society. She is also very thoughtful and kind to her grandfather, me.

Diajelle’s Certificate

Here is Diajelle going to her prom last year.

Awww, man!! More people should also confront Fox News like actor D. L. Hughley did last night. FOX NEWS is an illegal, holocaust-driven institution just like the NAZI’s were in 1930’s Germany.

I was actually watching Megyn Kelly’s show last night when D.L. Hughley would ‪#‎NOT‬ allow Fox News’ Kelly to loud talk and push him around with Foxnews’ typical hate and bigotry. Hughley went toe-to-toe with her even when she tried to shut him up (typical ‪#‎FOX‬ tactic) and blatantly insult him. Geaux ‪#‎TeamDL‬. I later watched Bill O’Reilly talk some incredible hate and bigotry on the Seth Meyers’ show where Seth could not handle ‪#‎OReilly‬. FOX should be outlawed for stirring up all this hate and murder from the bigots and haters in America. ‪#‎FoxNews‬ is just like Adolf Hitler and the NAZI’s having a network in America and stirring up the ‪#‎Holocaust‬ here.

I am not sure that the story at the link below is true. How in the world can the Republican Convention be opening next week, and the delegates that each candidate won not be bound to that candidate on the first ballot? What is the article at the link below talking about? Whatever delegates that Donald Trump won in the primaries must be bound to Donald at least on the first ballot.

All delegates are unbound

Back to Gretchen. Another Fox News anchor, Kimberly Guilfoyle, defends their FOX boss, Roger Ailes.

Yes, Gretchen, I believe you!

Gretchen is reliable!

Sarah Palin Stole My Heart

Thoughts about Sarah Palin have me all “shook up” these days. In my opinion, she gets cuter every day. I see now how she came out third as Miss Alaska. She is beautiful! Plus, she outright won the Miss Wasilla beauty pageant.

UPDATE from July 3, 2016: I plan to write some words about my pastor’s fantastic message from today at church. Between tonight and tomorrow, I want to post about his excellent message because I want my readers to be touched by the words.

Now, getting back to my dream boat Sarah Palin, I must say that I am truly “all shook up” over how cute Sarah is. Just because we have different political views does not mean that romance cannot fill my noggin when I think about that beauty queen. My wives and myself did not agree on very much; however, are not those differences what make romances thrive around the whole world? I dream about kissing Sarah’s cute lips.

sarah

Sarah looks very cute.

I would enjoy debating her politics in the middle of us smooching and hugging. It makes romance better when you debate your sweetie in the middle of making love.

Look at this fine-looking mama here below. I clicked to the tweet, and still do not understand the point that they are making with the tweet. I need to study it further. UPDATE: Oh, it seems like mama is taking a lunch break while filming a video. I will study the tweet even further in order to verify what they are tweeting about.

Orlando Police Dispatcher (OD): Emergency 911, this is being recorded.
Shooter (OM): In the name of God the Merciful, the beneficial [in Arabic]
OD: What?
OM: Praise be to God, and prayers as well as peace be upon the prophet of God [in Arabic]. I let you know, I’m in Orlando and I did the shootings.
OD: What’s your name?
OM: My name is I pledge of allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi of the Islamic State.
OD: Ok, What’s your name?
OM: I pledge allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi may God protect him [in Arabic], on behalf of the Islamic State.
OD: Alright, where are you at?
OM: In Orlando.
OD: Where in Orlando?
[End of call.]

I Luv Hillary Clinton

Geaux, Girl! You need to do it for the sake of history. I luv, wuv and love Hillary Clinton. She will make a great president. All of you chauvinist pigs (including that wildebeest Donald Trump) need to leave her the hell alone.

Oh, and By the Way, Bill Clinton will make an excellent 1st Lady.

This is what I was thinking early on Saturday evening; but I thought wrong. My horse did not do well, to put it mildly:

The evening news, not too long after I enjoyed the Belmont Stakes, bore such terrible news that there is now a pallor hanging over the country. Will the world ever see an end to the horrible wars and killings?

Yes, I Got Liked

Look at the surprise #notification that I received last night from Twitter:

A miracle surely did occur inside my house at 7:10 pm New Orleans time on Friday the 13th (May, 2016). I will write about it here at my http://www.DeleryGazette.com blog at some point later this weekend because the effects might not quite be finito yet. In fact, I will go off right now in order to re-ignite my Catholic novena candle so that I can fire up more miraculous power from the good #Lord

Also, I was searching this morning for some stuff, and found some very interesting Chinese names.

Former presidential candidate Ted Cruz’s 600 delegates could possibly insist at the Republican convention in July that their votes actually count toward Ted Cruz, hurting Trump’s luster and bluster at the convention. The runner-up himself could minimize his support of Donald Trump if Trump sets an ugly tone towards Cruz’s rights to give a convention speech as the runner up. Plus, there are 3 other possibilities which could or might rear their ugly heads at the Republican convention.

The vote for Trump’s vice-presidential nominee could become contentious. There could be a fight by true conservatives to plug into the platform some of their policies; or, God forbid, some delegates could insist upon a rules change disallowing the 8-state minimum wins in order to nominate anyway who has won delegates. In New Orleans (in other political news) is it illegal for a judge to give a man jail time in a closed hearing from inside a closed court room?

The eleven-day sentence handed down by a local judge has kicked up some controversy in New Orleans. I have truly supported and backed this judge politically in the past. In fact, I have been a grand supporter of his for many years. I plan to read the bulk of paperwork from this case because there has to be something more to the story than reported publicly.

Coming Soon: My Comedy Set

I will let y’all know when I do my #comedy set at The Neutral Ground Club in New Orleans. I had a grand time last night, but I remained seated when they called me up for my turn. The act before mine (by a good friend) was too excellent. How in the world could I, in my right mind, follow that?

Hahaha… Next time!!

I might also show the audience some of my nifty dance moves. People often tell me that they thought that I was Michael Jackson up there on the dance floor.

dance club

Yes, I can perform. That is I.

I call this dance my big, whopper-head dance. You just have to move around and act like you are waxing on, waxing off somebody’s big, shiny whopper head. It is easy, and it is fun. Speaking of dancing, it looks like ex-dancer and current Let’s Make a Deal model, Tiffany Coyne, had a birthday. I tweeted to her a Happy Birthday.

Escaped From My Bat Cave

I am mad! I am mad!! I AM MAD!!! Later on (which happened in the next paragraph), I will write here at my blog the reasons for my current state of ill-humor. I am scared of myself when I am ‪#‎mad‬. When I was growing up, my dad used to corral me close to him whenever I started acting up. He kept me on a short leash. Now-a-days, only one other person in New Orleans can ‪#‎scare‬ me into my corner. However, she ‪#‎loves‬ when I am out loose, “parading around” in the moonlight, until she sends me the ‪#‎bat‬ signal to shut up and scamper into my designated corner.

Later on!!!… A Revelation: My James Bond 007 martini has become my personal concoction of which I am discovering I do not know what I will turn into after drinking it. There have been many classic movies in Hollywood through the ages which depict the many dire and lethal circumstances which occur once the protagonist drinks some kind of volatile concoction of his own design. I now begin to think that similarly that is also “I.” I drove over to my daughter’s house yesterday evening to mix a few martinis for us and some guests while we sat and chatted. Then, by the time I got back home, I WAS MAD! MADDD!!!

I wanna’ be on the beach with her.

UPDATE: I fell asleep for a minute. Now, I plan to watch a little bit of TV to relax. When I initially awoke I briefly studied some of my resources in order to dig for a possible nugget of wisdom. I ran across Psalm 103:11 which says, “For as high as the heaven is above the earth, so great is the Lord’s mercy unto them that fear Him.” I also ran across Chapter 4, Eckhart Tolle, The Power of NOW which says, “Die to the past every moment. You don’t need it. Only refer to it when it is absolutely relevant to the present. Feel the power of this moment and the fullness of Being (which is the Lord’s living power flowing into us right now). Feel your presence.

… or, if I were better-looking; or, if I spent some time in the gym buffing up my physique.
