They say that life is a blessing for me it’s a curse as I watched all my loved one’s depart like pedals from a flower. I’m the last one here and although a new generation hearkens I long to see those who have gone before. There is nobody here that truly understands what I’ve seen and gone through for they might read it in a history book while it has left marks all over my body and soul.  I don’t know what I did to be the last one left all I know is I hope I’m forgiven to return home to those that have left me many, many years ago.

FOOTNOTE- Koku Istambulova  has passed away at 129 and G-D willing now she lives on with her loved ones.  I for one don’t share this believe but I’m also not in the count.

The vile pictures of Ralph Northam as either a KKK member or the black faced man from a 1984 law yearbook are disgusting yet the words that the man spoke just a day ago should even  be more repulsive.   I can not justify those pictures as a youthful indiscretion because they were taken when he was in medical school far from the years when those excuses could be made yet we should listen to any contents that might be found. For maybe he was in a dark comedy skit that at the time was meant for jokes and not at all to be taken seriously. Yet his words of just a few days ago were carefully thought out as he discussed the procedure of infanticide with the world. Words that were very close to be taken into action as Virginia was on the verge of passing this hideous legislation.  Pictures of hate and words of death one is wrong the other is deadly.

The main purpose of the Bud Rebel Show is to present the ideas (good, bad, funny, sad, silly, serious) to a larger audience so that they can have a greater impact on the world in some positive way but would it taste better if I was just the ingredients? If I left the talent to other talented individuals and just stood in the background would the pie be more crispy? G-D has such a presence in most of our lives but I’m just a simple man so is the role I would want to play with this pie? I’m not sure because I do love the stage and feel I have something unique to offer on it even if it’s just a bit of the crust. All I know is the discussion is getting me hungry and it’s time to start cooking either way.

They have left me a great deal of money yet what would they want me to do with it? For we had many different interests and even philosophies so I wonder if they would be happy if I spent those monies on things that actually made me as an individual happy instead? I guess I could try and find some things we had in common and utilize the inheritance for that good but is that good enough for me? The truth is they knew who I was and what I stood for so it must then be fine to spend as such unless they were trying to convince me  to change to their side in the end?  All I know is I miss them and the monies can’t replace the moments  we had together even if they were from two different worlds.

FOOTNOTE- This story is too true too many people left in the will.

My face says shave but the weather says Gorilla.   With record cold so far the Gorilla is winning but my human side can only stand it for so long. To shave or not to shave that is my question over the next day or so.  I also have a friend who has recently passed away and the tradition for close relatives is not to shave but I’m not part of the family so I think that excuse can pass as well.  Maybe it’s not so cold after all and I believe it’s important to look marvelous even if you’re shivering to prove it.

FOOTNOTE- The razor has not been released so a poll will tell me which way to turn.

I can’t imagine what it’s like to be a person living in Venezuela today as one of the governments in power has no legitimate reason to be there. Where that power is derived only by force not the true laws of the land and/or the will of the people? Do you just follow the government because you fear the bullet or do you stand up for justice and the law against all odds?     Maduro must go not only because his government is illegitimate but at this point criminal as it enforces it’s own form of gang violence on the people he has pledged to serve.
