Captain Blood

by Ferdie Delery

CARIBBEAN (Privateer Country) — In the deep waters of the Caribbean Sea, an escaped revolutionary laid his plans while sailing the captured ship with his renegade crew. Survival was utmost on his mind. The crimson, moonlit waters were his home.

AS THE STORY GOES!

03/01/26 (note: I espouse my Caribbean Pirate roots in more of the story below). Meanwhile:

GAZETTE (Palm Sunday) — I lost my dentures back when I wrote about that full moon ⬇️. It led me to lay my prayers at the altar of the Lord. These many dentists in New Orleans are worthless. Anyway, I walked outside my house that night and saw this big, ol’ full moon in the sky. That is “amore.” Now, I can go back inside my house after that sign and wait on the Lord to come my way. ❤️❤️❤️ That big, beautiful full-moon in the sky inspired many memories in my mind.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you.

As I place my fears and regrets before the altar of the Lord, suddenly what?

No, I have no fears… Jesus is Lord!
No, I have no regrets
Because today, my life, my joys
begin with you.
I love you!

Me: A Caribbean Pirate!

Where was I, the penultimate Cariɓbean Pirate, on Memorial weekend?

I sat down to write about my Memorial Weekend holiday when other stuff came to mind. I have been reading the book Captain Blood upon which the movie with Errol Flynn was based. I ordered the book on KINDLE, but think that I need to buy the hard copy for some studious reading of it. I claim Caribbean Pirate roots; so, the story in the book has been fun for me. I once ordered my DNA results from MY HERITAGE, and found definitive roots from pirates all the way from Ireland through Spain and France, Italy through Tunisia to the Caribbean Sea and the High Seas.

I bought the book, and I’m reading it on Kindle.
This is the day that I realized that Muhammad Ali is human:
This picture ⬆️ was after Muhammad Ali lost the decision to Joe Frazier.  I forgot where I was.
Finding Your Roots!

Of course, I would never go on the show Finding your Roots with Henry Louis Gates. I surely would not want that son-of-a-bitch gloating over me (with the whole world watching) with paperwork and pictures, etc. asking me gleefully, “And what do you think of that”? No, No… reveal shocks and surprises to me privately. I would strangle him on the spot for the whole world to see if I were on his show. I just know that he would love pulling up pictures and annals of someone running half-naked with lions through the jungle in a loin cloth with him (Gates) hollering about, “This is your X-X-X-X great-grandfather,” or something out of left field like that. No, No, No… Henry Louis Gates, I never want to give you that pleasure. FORGET IT, you gloating son-of-a-gun!      

Words of Wisdom for: he who is guilty on all 34 counts. That story is COMING SOON!
Guilty on all counts!

FERDIE WERDIE (May 21, 2024) — What a shame that so many so-called Americans will vote for this convicted felon; and possibly put him in the White House. WHAT A TRAVESTY!

Now, I will get back to thinking about my lovely Memorial Weekend holiday. Meanwhile, this post below is what got me to thinking about Captain Blood. I wrote it on 5/21/24.
Post 1/3 >>The story of Captain Blood is compelling to me because I claim Caribbean Pirate roots. I ordered the book on Kindle today and soon realized that I actually saw much of the subsequent movie starring Errol Flynn. The movie commenced Errol to stardom, and, of course, I fell in love with Olivia de Havilland in the movie. I will write more about these coincidences here at my newsletter Delery Gazette Newsletter as I read the book.

Post 2/3 >>I added this here b/c I wanted to say more about how my Memorial holiday is going. I will add thread 3/ 3 to this to say more. Right now I’m going off to get a strawberry shake.

Post 3/3 >>I have not gotten to write much about my weekend because I got sidetracked with Captain Blood. Once I order the hardcopy and get deeper into the book, I might have more in-depth stuff to write.

On the High Seas!

Speaking of the High Seas, my brother once said that O.J. would get me next. Why? I will soon write a post to explain why he told me that. See the clip:

See the full clip:

O.J. No! No! Don’t do it!
O.J. surely cannot get me now for my jokes because I do not believe in ghosts.

Live Video Coming Soon

I will explain at some point this weekend why I did not make daiquiriis this weekend like I promised. It is a story that I need to tell. Also, I came on briefly to mention some of my thoughts about last weekend and Father’s Day. Meanwhile, I have to sign off for a while to TCB (Take Care of some Business). So, I will finish writing this introduction next time I sign on. Thank you!! UPDATE: By TCB I meant eat. Isn’t eating Taking Care of Business; and important “to boot”? On Father’s Day, someone cooked a big pot of seafood gumbo and potato salad; and I brought over ham and daiquiris. “Ooh La La”!! I wrote and recorded a song about this outstanding gumbo. I will add the audio clip here over the weekend.

I am still enjoying cherished memories from Father’s Day present and future. Like they say, some memories will last with you for a life time.

The picture below was taken five years ago while visiting my youngest daughter, Tiopol (center), and her family in Georgia. I even see Lil’ Potato (being held, back row) who was 1 year-old going on 34 years-old. My older grandchildren are grown now, in high school, working, driving, singing, doing well in sports, etc.

My second youngest grandchild, Dori, is on the far left. This is a rare photo of all 8 of my grandchildren together; plus my daughter, Tiopol (in the middle). It would be amazing to see them together now if I could get a current picture of them all. We were visiting Tiopol in Georgia for a Father’s Day vacation.

THEN, See Below: a taped, practice video (right below my first “live” video) which I am rehearsing before I attempt my next “live” video. Would you like to see how our editor looks and sounds? I plan to do a live video soon so that my readers can hear some of my latest thoughts. Today, I want to do my second Live Video on Facebook Live. However, firstly, I have to clear off my treadmill because I have been using it as a clothes hanger and closet. It is critical that I start walking on it, especially for at least 15-or-so minutes today. I could write a whole book on how much Easter food that I ate yesterday, including what they call better-than-sex cake. As soon as I finish walking on my treadmill, I will start writing a script for the video because I would enjoy to do another Live Video today or tomorrow. Any questions for me for my video? If you do not want to ask publicly on this post, you can write questions to me privately which I can then answer live.

St. Peter said that God is no respecter of persons.

Here is my first live video. I did not have a script prepared for my first video.

Here Below is a practice video of a script that I wrote preparing to

Why Sodom and Gomorrah Ended

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 want 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?

Shroud of Turin

NEW ORLEANS (Gazette) — I plan to study more about the Shroud of Turin. If this is truly the face of Jesus, we should embrace the magnitude and importance of the image. We need to look into the eyes of the Lord and pray for his hand to reach out with all of its power and virtue to touch this wavering world of today.

I read daily the headlines and watch the images on TV. I feel like the world is spinning away toward THE perfect storm. Who do you think can reach out His hand with mercy to save this mess?

The Shroud of Turin

The Shroud of Turin

Here is my prayer for today: Dear Lord, please reach out and touch me with your virtue today. Show us in the world a sign that there is something better, that there is a higher power than this mess that we see today. Please remember the words, “I touched the hem of His garment and His BLOOD has made me whole.”

The face of Jesus.

The face of Jesus.

If you want to hear a beautiful song which explains what can happen when you touch the hem of the Lord’s garment, listen to Tata Vega and Andrae Crouch here. They sing beautifully about what the power of the blood of Jesus can do.
