PEACE

Peace. Simple word. Only five letters and one syllable. Clap your hands when you say a word if you’ve forgotten what a syllable is. It carries a very significant meaning that most of us never think about. We have peace here in America for the most part. In fact we have so much of it people here actually hunger for war and find controversy in every corner, in every action, and mostly because the TV tells them to. Here is an idea, turn your TV off and try thinking on your own for a few minutes. Don’t tell me what to do Bucky!! Fair enough.

My heart breaks for the people in Ukraine and in Russia. Yeah Russia too. Those soldiers on both sides don’t want to be there and their families are filled with worry every single day. Hundreds of thousands of people have died in this stupid war since it started 3 years ago. I will be very clear on this statement. Vladimir Putin is the aggressor of this war and isn’t a nice person. Okay, now we have to go back to reality. Calling him a “Dickhead” on TV, to his face, in the paper, or anywhere will not stop people from dying.

You see sometimes grown ups have to do this thing called “be the bigger person”. It means accepting the fastest and best way to stop a conflict is to just shut up and let the A-hole think they have won. Is being declared the winner worth someone dying?? If so how many?? Maybe President Trump should give Zelenskyy a huge hug on TV, say Putin is actually Hitler, and pledge security for Ukraine no matter what. Would that make the TV people happy??

That would mean full on war. American people don’t want that. No not our people killed. If your principals are so high and mighty and important that Ukrainians should keep dying then why not your family members?? Don’t hate on me for asking a question. If your son, daughter, brother, sister, or parent was on that front line would you care who got blamed for this or that, OR would you just pray every eff’ing day the bullets would stop flying??

Some of you may have missed what actually happened the other day. We had a President that said “NO” to continuing a war. It is hard being told no, and clearly many people in government, in this country, and in this world are not accustomed to hearing it. They immediately flip out. A LOT of people in this country live paycheck to paycheck. We have homeless citizens, drug addicted citizens, and people who recently lost everything in Hawaii (remember them), California, NC, Florida, KY, and all the other places that Mother Nature punched in the face. We have no money to help them. NONE.

We have sent 350 BILLION to Ukraine. That is a lot of dollar bills for those of you that only think in make it rain. Over half of that money can’t be accounted for. Many of the weapons we PAID for were sold off for $.20 on the dollar to organizations around the world that hate America. Hamas being one of them. Oh shit Bucky, are you saying??? Yeah some corrupt pricks in Ukraine took our stuff intended to help them fight and sold that for a quick buck. Oh man, you mean some people are scumbags?? Ha. Here I thought you’d never get it. Follow the money. A lot of people do NOT want this war to end because they are getting rich. Very rich.

Simply sending Ukraine more and more and more and more is stupid. This war has to end. One way or another and President Trump gave Ukraine a life line that would have paved the way for our two countries to become strong economic partners. That is the only the first step, but you can’t win the Boston Marathon if you don’t take the first eff’ing step. Ukraine isn’t getting into NATO without a full blown war with Russia. That is a fact. Millions will die. Is that what your ego wants?? Is your need to beat your chest worth all those souls?? Yeah I didn’t think so.

This peace process is going to be messy. It is going to take time and hard choices have to be made. Lines drawn that can’t be crossed. Putin is a jerk, but he is strong. Strong people only respect other strong people. Remember that because it is important. Biden was anything but strong. Those days are thankfully over. As every married man on Earth will attest to: Being right doesn’t mean you win the argument.

President Trump was right to walk away from that meeting. Peace is the only option and having one person more interested in being “right” than finding a realistic path to no more needless deaths blew that meeting up. Until PEACE is the only acceptable option for President Zelenskyy, America should not send more of our Tax Dollars to Ukraine. Some of you may disagree and that is OKAY, but I will say this. We have tried your way for 3 years with absolutely nothing to show for it. Should we spend another 350 billion, another 500,000 lives, and another 3 years continuing this same path??

So disappointed

Friday!! I hope you had an exceptional week and used your days wisely. You only get so much time in life and none of us know exactly how much that is. If it was all over tomorrow would you be satisfied with your accomplishments?? This includes how much money you’ve earned, but more importantly measured by your relationships, your kindness, and your ability to uplift others around you.

This blog has nothing to do with all of that of course. Most of us waste our time day in and day out thinking some sort of magic fairy dust will fall upon us one day. I bought into this fantasy for way too long, but inevitably it has let me down. As I stated in yesterday’s blog I am relying on hard work, great diet, and myself to make my life better. I plan to blog about the journey so in a few months you will know first hand if I’ve let myself down or passed you by.

Speaking of being let down, yesterday was a major one. I doubt anyone on Earth has been this disappointed since the woman that took my virginity. Not her fault as one would think at 32 years old I would have had some idea what to do. Enough about me though. I was so excited yesterday morning to finally see the Epstein files. This is a disgusting pedophile was allowed to prosper on a level 99.999% of us will never see. Private island, private jets, million dollar homes, a painting of Bill Clinton in a blue dress, and a bazillion other things we may never know about.

This guy blackmailed some of the most powerful people on Earth making him even more powerful than them. There is a reason he is dead. And NO, he didn’t kill himself. He was murdered in a jail cell while on suicide watch. The guards fell asleep, the cameras stopped working, and his cellmate was a body builder that murdered 4 people with his bare hands. Nothing to see here stupid citizens. If this doesn’t terrify you I have no idea what would. Imagine what these people could do to you or me??

The FBI somehow decided that the Attorney General didn’t need to see all the files and kept them hidden. It is rumored they have been erasing them. My question is why?? It should be the question EVERYONE is asking today. Release these eff’ing records now. Protect the 254 victims names (yeah 254 underage women were trafficked and used), but release the files and prosecute the sick SOB’s that participated in the crimes facilitated by Epstein and his pimp girlfriend. Lives were ruined, but you’re too busy drinking a Carmel latte and screaming “Elon go back to Africa”!!

Who let him be murdered? Who was on that island?? What evidence is there?? I don’t care who it implicates. Prosecute them all and burn it all down if need be. We aren’t a free nation with something like hanging over our heads and I’m so grateful for the independent journalists that are keeping the pressure on Pam Bondi and Kash Patel to make sure the truth comes out.

What’s the dark will come to light – Katt Williams

Never settle. Never wait for fairy dust.

Mmm Cupcake

I am on a journey. I wrote about being obligated to myself instead of feeling motivated. I am passionate about it and not going to stop for anyone or anything. I work out daily and have been doing so for a few months now. I have stopped eating sugar because it is counterproductive and doesn’t help me reach my goal of losing 100 lbs. Yeah I let it go that far. When I was weighed in for my last cripple fight that will be shown on YouTube, I was 270 lbs. Obviously I’m kidding, it was only 267.

I won that fight, but lost a kidney in the process. I won because I’m still alive. In May 2024 I was on a ventilator in ICU for 3 days. Now I’m down 70 lbs with 30 more to go. The hard 30. I won’t be denied. I was always thinking “this is so hard, I don’t want to cut sugar, I need ice cream to be happy..”, but it was all BS inside my head. I had a long conversation with myself that went like this.

Bucky, you overcame the hardest thing in the world. You went on with life after being paralyzed. No one did that for me. Quite the opposite actually. Many people looked at me like I was already dead and their eyes said “if that was me, I’d kill myself”. Don’t think I never noticed. Ready for the point. I’m not those people. I’m exceptional. I’m stronger than you, them, everyone. I don’t care about your opinion or your false sympathy. Want to make my life better?? Donate your next paycheck to a cure for spinal cord injuries.

If any of that offends you, then it is you I’m talking about. Those people that truly care about me, knelt next to me, and saw the same looks. Back on topic. I did that, but I can’t stop eating sugar for a few months to get my weight down?? Stupid. I will reach this goal and I truly hope some of you join me for the trip. Not only will we reach one goal, but the strength and confidence we gain along the way will be truly priceless. Remember the goal is simply the cherry on top, the journey is the cupcake.

STRAPPED UP!!

6:37 is what the clock said when I looked at it. DANG IT is what I said. Yoga starts at 7 AM and I was going to be late. Annie looked at me with drowsy eyes that said stop moving around I’m trying to sleep here. Nothing like waking up in a hotel, late, and then trying to rush out the door for a yoga session across town. Sounds like familiar territory in my life as rushing is something I’ve become accustomed to. This darn wheelchair makes everything take much longer, but such is life.

Even with hitting every single red light on the way there, I arrived at 7:06 AM, and class was in session as I rolled thru the door. Luckily it is a cozy yoga studio with great people that are happy to see an extra face awake and joining them for the early morning namaste. Class itself was perfect although 17 minutes in, I realized I have a lot to learn about yoga still. I do a session on my own daily and it is clear my form along with my timing is crap compared to what it is when I attend classes. I’m paralyzed from the chest down and have figured out how to do yoga, so what is your excuse again??

My body is a million times better off and I have so much LESS pain when I do yoga daily. A testimonial you didn’t ask for and I didn’t plan on making. Third paragraph is when I usually pivot to talk about what I actually had in mind. Today is no different. I was cleaning up the blocks and straps I used for the past hour. Well 54 minutes if you want bring up old shit about me being late. Moonbeam (yoga coach) grabbed the blocks from me and said she would be back for the strap. I take no orders and decided to take care of the strap myself. I carefully rolled it up tight so it would sit nicely in the strap box. Seems like a pretty boring event right?? WRONG!

I rolled that strap up perfectly. Wasn’t mine. No fee to just throw it in the box. I mean it isn’t Blockbuster and it wasn’t a VHS tape. This took more of my precious time to roll it up with no real benefit to me. Why do it Bucky??

Well….. I don’t do things half assed. Ever. Not even a stupid strap after yoga. If you can’t do tiny little tasks with precision, how or why would anyone trust you to do big tasks perfectly? It is a mind set and I see many people in this world that don’t have it or refuse to use it. How do you tackle inconsequential projects throughout the day?? Do you put care into them and pay attention or simply throw whatever into the box while thinking about that TV show you watch that no one else cares about?

Success is in the details. I didn’t roll that strap up for the yoga studio. I did it for myself. It is a form of intangible character that one must possess to have a successful happy life in my opinion. Pay attention to the small things and the larger problems in life become much easier to overcome. Look at what you are doing and think “how can I do it better?” Once the answer becomes “no possible way to do this better”, you will have mastered the task and just might unlock the door to a fulfilling life in the process.

Namaste

Power Wine

Ahhh the power company. We all need power and there is no competition so regardless of what the bill says, we have to pay it. Some of us could go back to having a campfire in our living room for heat and cooking our ramen noodles over the open flame like those that came before us, but you and I both know that isn’t happening. I get my bill and have noticed every single month there is a $49 monthly service fee. This is something that is definitely going to piss me off once I learn there is nothing I can do about it, but I’m a gluten for punishment so I make the call. No safe word needed, the MAN is going to make sure I enjoy this financial raping.

I ask my question and was told “Hang on my computer is running slow” by the very kind woman on the phone. I will be clear it isn’t her fault, she is simply first line at the S&M power company. We have some small talk for a few minutes about the weather, snow, and puppies until her screen finally populates with the answer. She says “That is a fee we charge every month to cover the cost of the poles and other stuff.” End quote. Wtf. She knew that answer long before the screen came up. All that was accomplished is I’m out $49 and now it hurts to sit down.

LUCKILY though they have juuuusssstt enough money left over to make a magazine. Yep when telephone poles don’t get hit by drunk drivers they use our monthly service fee to publish a magazine. There are no ads in it because.. wait for it. WE PAY FOR IT. Awesome. Anyone know how much it costs to print these full color magazines?? I do and it isn’t cheap. Wait a second, isn’t Bucky supposed to write positive things?? Don’t get your panties bunched up, I’m about to see the light!

This months issue has a bit of home in it. FOX RIDGE WINERY has a full page write up in this unwanted $49 monthly subscription. Not their fault. I know this awesome family from back in the day and they are amazing people that are always willing to lend a helping hand. Like if during a large snow storm a car goes into the ditch near their home. Thanks again for that by the way. I will say a tax was paid via the cold ones left behind…

The $49 fee sucks, but like all of you I’ll pay it. From now on though I’ll smile because it will make me think of the Sedas and all the hard work they have put into building this amazing local business near Traer, Iowa. I hope all of you reading this go check them out, buy some wine, and support them any way possible. Ha. You thought I couldn’t do it.

http://www.foxridgewine.com

I have to remind myself to find the good in everything every day. I was so irritated about this stupid fee, but now I’ll focus on my hometown when I pay it. I’ll think of Fox Ridge Winery when I autopay my power bill instead of that darn monthly service fee. Monthly service fee sounds like something that should be looked into by DOGE, but that is another blog.

Drink Good Wine from Traer, Iowa and be happy.

a poo story

Imagine you get up at 5:40 AM, eat some quick fruit, do some exercise with dumb bells, a bit of yoga, and then after a few more bites of fruit take your bestie out for a morning walk. The world is very wet from 24 hours of rain the day before, but at least it isn’t falling from the sky. My fur coat wearing friend takes off running for the park area only pausing at each drive way to see if I’m going to yell or let her go full speed today. It was a full speed kind of morning.

I only throw the frisbee for a good 10-15 minutes because my receiver has had a bum leg for the last few days and today was the first day back in action. I’m stoked. Feeling great to have so much accomplished and the day has barely even started. My spasms have been SO MUCH BETTER since getting the kidney out in July allowing me to actually exercise and have a life again. More on that some other day.

I see Annie drop some treasures by the mailboxes and like I do every single time, I make my way over to pick it up. I am obsessed with picking up after my dog simply because I can’t stand other people that don’t. I don’t want to be a hypocrite so wheelchair be damned, I’ll get that poo. I’ve fallen more times than I’d like to admit, but luckily that didn’t happen today. Nope I did not fall out of my chair picking up dog poo.

I did however roll thru some other persons dog poo getting to my dogs poo. I didn’t realize it of course until it was all over my wheels, then my sweatshirt, my gloves, and finally the rest of my clothes. If your windows rattled in NC this AM it was probably me yelling “Oh darn”. I’m pretty sure I saw some children start crying at my “darns”. Children know more curse words than I do.

I was pissed. I started to yell at Annie even though it wasn’t her fault. I stopped and realized I was allowing something stupid to mess my day up. What is the point?? The person who left the literal crap behind didn’t care I was mad. They will most likely never know cause they suck. Karma should kill them. Soon I hope. I stopped being mad, but never said I wasn’t holding a grudge.

I went home, stripped down (let that image soak in), got into the shower, pulled my wheels in and scrubbed them down, dried everything off, and in about an hour was all cleaned up. It took longer than just swapping shoes like most people if they step in some dog poo, but my life carried on just fine. I thought of the monk carrying the woman and decided to leave that shit where it belonged. Behind those mailboxes three blocks away.

Russian Pothead

Got another Pothead back from Russia. Maybe Americans should stop smuggling weed into that country so we don’t have to beg Putin to get them back. Just a thought. Not really my thing for this blog these days, but I will do a quick FknBucky public service announcement: Don’t take weed, marijuana, herb, green, wacky tabacky, or ganja into Russia. Pfffft! Easier said than done says 22 year old Bucky. For the record 22 year old Bucky was so cool.

I’ll be honest I don’t know much about the guy, but I’m happy for him and his family. I traveled in Europe about 10 years ago and I was very aware that I wasn’t in my homeland. I was in a different place with their rules and I’m considered a risk taker by many, but I promise I didn’t F around because I didn’t want to find out. I’m not going to pick on this guy. Haha. Of course I am. Doing drugs is stupid, doing them in other countries with VERY strict laws is really really dumb.

Don’t take weed to Russia. Don’t do heroin in Malaysia because they will kill you. Same with Saudi Arabia, yeah, you get the death penalty for selling drugs there. I made lots of bad decisions growing up and it is what it is. I’m not proud of some of those choices, but they got me to where I am right now today. All things aside I’m alive, mostly healthy, and I have the greatest family along with some of the greatest friends a human could ask for from all over the world. I’m not sure what the title will be at this point because I have no idea where this is going to end up.

Truth is I want to be in the habit of writing everyday. Scratch that I write everyday, but I want to publish everyday. I think it is important to keep me on track. The messages I put in these blogs are my accountability mirror. I read this 50 times by the time I publish it. Think back to the messages in my blogs and now imagine if you read that message fifty times a day. We are what we consume. You are what you eat. Funny joke right, but it is true. Same is true with your mind.

If you listen to songs about drugs, drinking, and sleazy habits all day that is what you will think about. Let’s go on this new obligation journey together. Try listening, reading, and speaking things that are positive and will keep you uplifted throughout the day. I assure you that it works and will make a difference in your daily life. Give it a shot. Or….. Grab some blunts and fly to Russia for the weekend. Twenty-two year old Bucky just might meet you at the airport.

BREAK UP WITH HER

Motivation. What a crap word. It is a waste of energy and accomplishes nothing. Holy smokes Bucky how can you say that?? Cause I’m smart. Motivation is cause of every 1/4 finished project in the world. Go look at your garage that is kinda organized. One corner is not in chaos from that one Saturday you felt motivated to finally tackle that mess, but something came up so you couldn’t get the job finished. Cool. Now you just gotta wait another 6 months for the motivation fairy to bite you again. Let me know how that works out for you.

If I can’t get things done being motivated, what can I do Bucky?? Nothing you’re screwed. You will be a loser forever so just stop trying. I may as well tell half of you that because most of you might read this and then you’ll grab a bag of skittles instead of going for a walk at lunch. You’ve been lied to for your entire life, but for that quick minute you actually feel motivated you’re King Kong. Once the buzz wears off you’re left with nothing, but a half finished hangover. You’re now the King of not following thru. That sucks. I know because I have that same title under my name more often than I’d like to admit, but today is accountability day for all of us.

I’ve kicked motivation out of my house. She kept showing up drunk at all hours of the night, eating up all my food, and then trying to get a piece before passing out on my couch. I’m done with her. How do you get over a girl?? Sleep with her sister. This is still FknBucky. Okay back to my point today. The real answer for replacing motivation is to take obligation for a spin. Holy Moly. Are you saying to not be motivated, but to be obligated??? How will that help?

Let’s break it down and quickly because I know you are dying to watch clips of dogs running into glass doors on IG. Be obligated to yourself. BOOM. It is that simple. Look at yourself and say “I’m going to clean this eff’ing mess up.” Enough is enough. I’m going to lose the weight. I’m going to read the book. I’m going to take the classes. Now that you’ve broken up with motivation and going steady with obligation you can actually finish some of the amazing things you know you’re capable of.

Now the best part. Everyone likes to shove their success in the face of their ex. Take a pic of your family, people you care about, or even yourself and look at it every single day. Use that picture to remind yourself why you HAVE to stay obligated. That picture can motivate (so you’re saying there is a chance) you from time to time if you need a bump to keep you in the game. As you stack up wins make sure you give obligation a smack on the ass and say “Thanks Baby!”

CHAMPION

Well that game sucked. Said NO Philly fans. I really thought it would come down to the last drive of the game, but that Super Bowl was over at halftime. The Eagles had Patrick Mahomes’s number and kept dialing it like a teenage girl on her first babysitting job in the 90’s. Teenage girls spend a lot of time on the phone and in the 90’s there were no cell phones so while babysitting a young lady could use the phone all she wants. I forget some people don’t remember the olden times. Over and over that Eagle defense pounded Mahomes like he was paying for it in the Big Easy.

Like a professional though they took the L, gave glory to God, and moved on. It is already time to start thinking about next season. You can lose the game, but still be a champion. How Bucky?? The same way the Eagles did two years ago. Mahomes is no loser, Hurts is no loser, and all of those athletes should be insanely proud of the work they put in all season. Chiefs fans have nothing to complain about today. That was a magical season and winning 12 games by one score AND having 12 comeback wins in the 4th quarter is amazing! What an exciting season to watch.

If Jalen Hurts had let the loss of the Super Bowl ruin him two years ago he would never have made it back to become MVP last night. Just 24 months ago he woke up listening to all the people talking after losing the big game to the Chiefs about how he wasn’t the one, he wasn’t good enough to win the big one, and how he was this and he was that. He lost that game, but was a champion inside. YOU just didn’t know it yet, he never had any doubts.

We live in an age with tons of information at our fingertips. I can google the recipe for Pad Thai, the shoe size Shaq wears, and buy a new bedroom set all from my phone in less time than it took to write this sentence. People’s opinions are readily available for every sucker begging to hear it. I’m going to tell you something important. The only opinion that matters is yours. How do you see yourself?? What do you believe yourself to be?? A winner, a loser, a nothing…..

I’m a winner. I lose a lot, but I will never quit. When my time is done on Earth no one will say Bucky is a quitter that gave up when things got difficult. Nope. All I want to do is earn the respect of my peers by working hard, staying strong, giving my all everyday, and becoming a better man each day. I want to encourage those around me to be better by example. That is an important one. Telling other humans to be better is different than showing the benefits of bettering yourself to those you love and care about. Leading by example if you will. Another one of those old sayings that will never become outdated.

Be a champion in your mind so you can become a champion in everyone else’s.

Character and Leadership

The big game. Watching it now and just saw the interception by Hurts as a matter of fact. I was impressed by Barkley in the first quarter and wanted to write about it briefly. Maybe you will decide to read a bit for halftime….. Wouldn’t be the worst idea in the world. I believe Saquon has about 7 yards so far which totally screws my bets up, but what are you going to do.

It was right after a questionable offensive pass interference call that went against the Eagles, stopped an awesome drive, and ruined a fourth down conversion. The fans booed, the coaches screamed, Tom Brady said “ I don’t agree with that”, and 50 million non Chiefs fans threw their hands up in the air screaming “SEE THE REFS ARE IN ON IT!!” Not Saquon though.

No he didn’t do that. I’ve been impressed with him all season by not playing late in games to pad stats, but would ride the pine to let the “young guys eat” as he calls it. Coming out of the game early to let some of the other players have a chance to enjoy the game they all love and have played their entire lives. That is character and no amount of money can buy it. You either have it or you suck at life.

I watched Barkley tell his teammates to “chill” and padded his arms at them to say relax it is one call in the game and there is A LOT of game left obviously. That is true leadership and it is awesome to see. That is what little kids should look up to. Not how many chains he has around his neck, how big his crib is, or how many flashy cars he has in the driveway. Those are all nice things to have, but don’t mean crap in the big scheme of things. When you are being lowered into the ground nobody is going to say “Good thing he/she had a bunch of cool cars.”

They are going to speak of your character, reliving stories of the random acts of kindness you committed, the next generation will talk about how you mentored them, shared wisdom with them, and took the time to make them better just because it is the right thing to do.

Be like Saquon.
