Praise be to me the Lord of the Ring.....
I aint God.....Yet but, I feel like it. After asking Michelle's father for his blessing and support for our union and gaining his favorable response I asked formally with the ring in hand. After, a moment of shock at the time, place and mood of the proposal she acquiesced to my most noble request. So, in the thoung of the vile plebian she said, "YES" and I am so happy to have her in my life that I cannot fully express it in words. Only and smile and a tear can explain. It is fitting and proper to ask for her parents permission, even if it is an old custom it is a good one for it makes the asking of the question far easier, even when the answer is already know. For I know that our love will not lead to the road to damnation.

Cry another Tear
My beloved has left for Virginia and I am sad. But, she is still so wonderful and special that the distance is bearable. I love her so much, I love her more than I hate King George Bush II. On a similar yet different note, today was a state funeral for Reagan and I was impressed with the whole affair. Except for the part where the Bush's made it a day of politics and reelection year free media. King George Bush I, I noted many times when Ronald did funny or historical deeds, but not one of these was a personal experience of King George I. You must remember that Reagan hated Bush and their Presidency was a Political Convenience. Reagan was a truly great American whom I deeply respect and admire. At long last I can say that there was another Republican that your not so humble writer could stand other than McCain. And, I am saddened further that McCain said that he would not run for the Whitehouse with Kerry. Oh well, god willing the monarchy will fail or the Bush Dynasty will continue with Jeb in five years. To all America I say Glory to God, Empire and the ones we love. Goodnight and whatever god you like bless ya.

Reflection and Reverence Required.....
I aint God…..Yet and this is more cool than I ever thought possible. I have had the time of my life tonight. I spent time with the most wonderful, beautiful and smart woman I have ever met. Tonight I was blessed with a gift of kindness and caring the likes of which I have never had in my many days on this Earth. I know now that together my ascension to godhood will be fare easier, for what is a God without a Goddess. I am a man who had never thought of love and relationships as being anything to want, seek or desire. I find it very odd that in November of last year I considered myself a lifelong bachelor with no need of love and marriage. A family was an unimportant trivial and inconvenient thing, a wife a nuisance and a pain in the ass. But, at the Staff and Faculty Christmas Party I fell into a crush over a game of foosball. Yes, me failing into a boyhood style daydreaming crush for a fellow teacher. It was as if the whole of the world opened up and new possibilities and dreams became realities. Who knew that this November I would be saying the I Do's my heart said so tonight and yesterday and the day before? I didn’t but I am no fortuneteller, I am just a semi-omnipotent teacher with delusions of godhood after all. So, you see that like all things and people your not so humble Father Rasputin is himself human and can find his own prophecies in error. I love this woman, her name is Michelle if you didn't already know. At this point you may become ill and or laugh at my lovey dovey ness or my complete openness about how I feel. I am a very happy quasi supreme being and I want all of my disciples and minions to know this very important fact. Your godlike and most beloved nut case of a spiritual guru is in love and getting married in just a few short 170 days. I never thought it possible for a strange and deranged guy like me to not only meet his intellectual, spiritual and ideological equal, but I was wrong and proud of it. I have found the other half of my soul the part of me that has been missing all of my life. I am a diverse man in my beliefs, so it is easy for me to say that I have been with this woman for many, many lives and I hope to spend all the time that is given and maybe a bit that is stolen with her in this existence, until we meet again in the next turn of the wheel. For, you all must see and understand that my love for Michelle and her love for me is without wax and this makes it all the better and our future and our past is not the road to damnation.
