Here Is a Very Scary Thought

Something to think about regarding former President of the United States, Ronnie Regan, and his full name;

RONALD WILSON REAGAN

is an anagram for

INSANE ANGLO WARLORD

Think about it.

Modesto's Ducal Ball

Let me begin by saying I had an absolutely FANTABULOUS time last night at Modesto's Ducal Ball "A Miracle on 34th Street". Everyone was so elegant, and the food was delicious and a good variety as well. People from as far away at Austin, Texas came to salute Ryan Hernandez and Kiki Peru St. James.

I was also able to talk with recently elected Royal Grand Duke Jimmy Alvarado and Royal Grand Duchess So'Horny Beaver of Alameda about my dinner invitation. They informed me that due to a recent move to a new apartment in Oakland, they would not be able to make it. I told them how I understood completely. Having recently moved to a new apartment I know how much stress that can put on a person and how just about everything has to be put on hold till the move is finished. In fact, a co-worker of mine is still unpacking boxes from a move into her new house after two years. Yikes!!!

Here are some of the pictures I took of that enchanting evening. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did taking them.

Here is a nice picture of So'Horny and Jimmy. Have you ever seen a more elegant couple? I know they are a royal grand ducal couple, but every time I see them I think "Spanish Count and Countess". The regal baring, the graceful way they hold themselves, and their generosity speaks to me of true nobility.

This is a picture I took of Sondra St. James. I took it from a different angle than I normally do to show the regal haughtiness and true imperial style. This costume and her make-up made me think of the Snow Queen from the story of the same name by Hans Christian Anderson.

This group of smiling people live in my old apartment complex. They guy on the far right is my friend and fellow I.S.J.D.E. court member Greg Ruiz, Imperial Court Planetologist. I chose that title myself, since ours is the court of the Sun, Moon, and Stars, and Greg's degree is in environmental sciences.

This is an unposed picture of San Jose Empress Miss Deliciously Kun-Tay. She is best know for having the largest wigs. Whenever I see her in fact I always say "Hello Kun-Tay, Kun-Tay's Wig." We even gave her wig it's very own title for this year reign of the I.S.J.D.E., Imperial Hairpiece of the 35th Reign.

Here are some more pictures I took that evening, presented without commentary. Enjoy;

My God! Is this Me?!?

Watch this video and then tell me if I'm a big a nerd as this.

In the meantime, here is a list of my "nerdisms". I will undoubtedly add to it from time to time.

Wesley's List of Nerdisms

1. I drive a Ford Taurus sedan.
2. I didn't go to MIT, but I did graduate with a 3.95 GPA at Heald College.
3. I love the chance to play D & D.
4. I'm a hardcore Trekkie and speak conversational Klingon.
5. I drink a cup of tea, have a glass of Ovaltine, and eat two Fig Newtons before bed each night.
6. I do math for fun.
7. I was in the chess club.
8. Wikipedia is bookmarked in my computer.
9. I love going to the Renaissance Faire

That's all I can think of for now, but I'll be sure to add more if I think of anything else.

Still No Armistice With the Misanthrope

I forgot to mention something that happened last night at the "Hot August Nights", I had an encounter with The Misanthrope I referred to in my post of June 2nd, 2008 (A Declaration of War). This person actually had the gall to come up to me and try to apologize, and I was forced by good manners, and the desire to not spoil the evening for everyone else by being rude, to politely listen to this individuals spewing of words and thus preventing her from having a"hissy-fit".

Another reason I held my silence and then walked away as quickly as I could from 'that person' was fear. If only 1/10th of what I've heard about her is true, I had no desire to get shanked with an ice-pick.

Aside from that, the evening went wonderfully well. I've included some pictures of the evening for your enjoyment.

Now, if I could just hear back from So'Horny Beaver and Jimmy Alvarado regarding my dinner invitations.

Sorry, It's a Deal Breaker

Let me begin by saying, I met an Angel last night. His name is Raphael, and I think he is GORGEOUS. The only problem is, he is a smoker, and sorry, but that's a deal breaker.

While I am a non-smoker, I am not a militant one, and will not deny any person the right to smoke if they choose to. I even owned about 100 shares of Phillip Morris (MO) for a good long time, until they spun-off their Kraft Foods (KFT) division. After that I sold what shares I had left of MO and bought more KFT. So no, I have no moral objection to a person's right to smoke if they choose. I just don't myself, and will not date anyone who does.

It's a quirk of mine. I won't kiss a guy if I don't like the taste of his spit, and I've kissed a smoker once before, and did not care for the experience. So, no more smokers. It's a deal breaker Raphael. I really did find you interesting, and VERY good looking, but I cannot bring myself to kiss (or anything else with) a smoker. Sorry.

Get Your Facts Straight

Recently, a "friend" of mine commented I should not have mentioned by name someone on the court circuit who got way to drunk at the Alameda Ducal Coronation (see Nutrisystem: Day 4). Well, I went back and re-read the post and to my amazement, I didn't mention that persons name at all.

"Friend", if you're going to criticize, get your facts straight! Yes, I did talk about how one person's intoxication slightly diminished my enjoyment of the evening, but I did not mention their name. If any of the other people who were there and who also read my blog want to assume whom I was talking about, they are free to do so. Maybe they're even correct about who I was talking about, or maybe not.

Anyway, my gentle readers, don't forget that Sunday 8/24/08 I will be posting the recipe for "Roasted Fruit with Vanilla Ice Cream". I still haven't heard back yet from So'Horny and Jimmy, but I'm sure I will soon. I hope they can come.

On another note, I'm bidding on some porn and special souvenirs from one of my favorite adult entertainers, Steve Cruz. If you want to place a bid yourselves (Just don't go over my maximum bid), just go to the Ultimate Auction.
