December Babies!

Posted in Entertainment, Family, Love, News, Religion by

Carl Delery, my brother, recently said, “I’d like to wish collective HAPPY BIRTHDAYS to all four of my December siblings: Ferd, Peggy, Gail and Alan wishing you all the very best in your advancing age. Take care, and may God bless you with many more.

Me!!! Playing my trumpet. The contemporary Jesuit High Band relaxes here while we alumnii play a sassy tune at Alumnii Night.

Since Carl just now called me an old son-of-a-BLEEP in that statement above, I have a story to tell about him in revenge. Ooops! I hate to interrupt my story here, but I just had to say while it is on my mind that I AM TOO IN LOVE WITH THIS GIRL (below). I love her! I love her!

Now, back to my story! When my brother, Carl, was 19 years-old, we (he and I) had an apartment on Paris Ave. in New Orleans. On second thought, since it is Christmas week, I will not seek revenge on my brother. Instead, I take this opportunity to wish my family and everyone a very Merry Christmas.

Also, in that same spirit of Christmas, I post the below picture of me and some relatives at a recent birthday party. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

Here is a picture of my dad. I think that you can see a resemblance here. He is smiling here, but I think that we have the same lips.

I Ate a Whole Pie

I am sitting here at home starving to death. I am supposed to be on a diet, but I am about to eat everything in sight. Beware! Any fine, sexy ladies in my vicinity had better run for cover. Hahaha…

That is I on the right in the gold shirt. The other folks are my mom, my brother, my sisters.

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]

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]

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 🙂 …

Happy Birthday, Dominique!

Posted in Family, Love by

Dear Dominique!! I just left your sister’s house where your mom and I had a nice, long conversation about you, your birthday and other related-type stuff. Hahaha… I will be the bearer of all of that information to you timely because you know that they say I am like a doggone tape recorder :). She says that she hopes that you enjoyed your doggone, nice-looking, delicious-ass CHOCOLATE cake 🙂 🙂 …and, similar-type conversation.

Dominique (right)

That chocolate, birthday cake looks delicious, and I want a piece.

Happy Birthday!!

I sent the below note to my brother because I was supposed to drink my meal-replacement shake for lunch today. However, some no-account handlers did not show up for an appointment at noon; so, I got mad at the world and bought a fish sandwich. I must say that it was actually one of the best catfish po’boy sandwiches that I ever had. The food is always outstanding at the particular establishment that I went to.

I Love You Too

Posted in Entertainment, Family, History, Love, News, Politics by

I LOVE IT! I do not have to say much about this clip below. First of all, when I watched it it already had 5.7 million views. Yes, it is going viral. I bet that you will love it too. I LOVE IT! Plus, see the video further below of my grandson, lil’ Vaughn, playing his trombone and marching in the Iris parade in New Orleans.

Also, something else is going viral this week. It is the news out of Iowa. Soon I will make my predictions for the New Hampshire primaries. I think that it will be a dog fight on the Republican side.

While they will be voting in New Hampshire, we will be celebrating Fat Tuesday in New Orleans. Happy Mardi Gras! Here is a video of my grandson, lil’ Vaughn, marching in the Iris parade in New Orleans and playing his trombone.

What a beautiful day! This photo below was actually taken last weekend again waiting to see lil’ Vaughn march. I missed taking a picture then too because circumstances messed me around that day too. I had a grand ol’ time anyway. I am not too sure how I am going to make out during the rest of Mardi Gras. I know that today I am aggravated, disgusted, cold, mad with the world. Tomorrow might be better, however. Like they say, Tomorrow is another day. “The morning might bring joy,” saith the Lord. I need to look up that passage because I think that the Lord said that the morning WILL bring joy and light.

Mardi_gras16

Speaking of primaries, I just want to give some love right here to all of the strong women of the world. Oh yeah, and Happy pre-Valentine! Hahaha… Yeah, I remembered.

A GRAND COMPLIMENT: Several of my relatives and “friends” have occasionally indicted me of being guilty of talking too much. However, someone with insight said something about me that reached deep into my core. Wonderful!

To understand me you need to realize that I actually visualize myself more like a fox. I said, “Thank you, Terry.” Why? Because several of my relatives and friends have erroneously indicted me of being guilty of talking too much. I think that these are the ones who become upset if I try to open my mouth at all. They become upset because they fear that I might use up any time at all with which they can rule/manipulate the universe. There is a word for this: narcissistic, maybe?

A New Big Loser Contest

Posted in Entertainment, Family, Health, Politics by

To my brother, Carl: Below is the chart which we spoke about concerning the last Gazette Biggest Loser Contest. Yes, you won in the end. Some people are asking me to kick off another Biggest Loser Contest.

Yes, Carl won it.

I picture here a sweetie pie who has won a piece of my heart. I will say a little bit more about my love for her later.

Meanwhile, I have a question about Cristela Alonzo’s tweet below. Exactly what is Cristela tweeting about?:

Recently, Stacey Dash said it for me. I say, Bruce Jenner is not a hero in my book for turning into a woman. Stacey has been temporarily suspended by FOX NEWS for other recent statements, but she is surely speaking for millions of Americans who are being marginalized because of all of the political correctness going on in this country these days.

What was the #1 sin that brought down the wrath of God onto Sodom and Gomorrah? #Homosexuality. Genesis Chapter 19 says: “The LORD rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah — from the LORD out of the heavens. Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, including all those living in the cities…”

On a different subject, do you really need your lady to be a genius? I know that Sarah Palin has done some boneheaded things, but she makes my heart pitter patter. For real! Me likes her!!

Sarah! Honey!! What are you doing to me, girl? Is it alright for me to dream about Sarah Palin like this?

Now, here are pictures that my daughter took on Halloween of my grandchildren. My daughters were dressing my grandchildren in their costumes for the festivities. We all had a fun time. If you want to see even more pictures of us from Halloween, you can click here: More Pictures At My Daughter’s Site.

Crystal Hefner Truly Lovely

Posted in Art, Entertainment, Family by

NEW ORLEANS (Gazette) — Seeing Hugh Hefner and his pretty wife, Crystal, together is a beautiful scene. Hefner has very good taste in women, and does himself a fine service by having Crystal by his side. I am guilty of making a silly joke below; but, to be sincere, I think that Hefner has been a man who has always had his feet grounded on a solid foundation. I think that he has an excellent cranial system.

Hugh and Crystal Hefner make a very lovely couple.

My Lovely Co-Pilot

Posted in Art, Family, Health by

NEW ORLEANS (Gazette) — When I was young, I had one like this (in picture below) cooking for me and inhabiting my kitchen. Now, I am old and have to do my own cooking and taking care of my own kitchen. My co-pilot is still in the vicinity, but she does not dress like that anymore.

I believe that the good Lord wants everyone to have a co-pilot in this life in order to help navigate the sometimes-treacherous waters and rough terrain. Sometimes your co-pilot might run his/her mouth too much or snap off in the cranial area occasionally. However, without your co-pilot close by, you might not see an upcoming boulder in the road or a pit in the ground. Thank God for co-pilots.

BOSCOVILLE (Gazette) — There are laws in our constitution that protect the White House against slanders and attacks from traitors and foreigners who are bent on crushing our president and the White House. Zionistic and terroristic Israeli leader Netanyahu and the hateful, traitorous Republican Congress need to be taken to task for their traitorous assaults against the White House and our American president.

No! No! No! Please do not tell me that the hate and ugliness which is growing in this country will reach the depths of the early 20th Century. What in the world will the upcoming years bring us in this century? I believe that no one knows the depths that hatred will take in the coming years. I blame the hateful Republicans and hatemongers like FOX NEWS.

Why aren’t the local authorities in Mississippi investigating this hanging like they should? Why is it taking the FBI to investigate this lynching? I have been recently thinking about moving to Mississippi to be close to the beautiful beaches and the lovely scenery. However, if this pot of hatred in Mississippi is brewing up and beginning to boil over, I will probably look in another direction.
