Rudy, you've done it again! I can't even process your greatness right now, like, just, I'm gonna meet you. I have to.
On god tho. This man is able to take any feeling and or ideal and vocalize it. I'm 22 years old I'm obsessed with the UFC because my first language was violence. I have limited battery time on my social life, a stitched together smile and hand crank powered confidence. So it was a bit difficult to express myself for a very long time. Rudy taught me I don't have to be tough and mean all the time to feel safe or needed. He taught me that those stairs I was climbing was just an escalator going backwards forcing me to stay in the same place I have been for so long, and he taught me the only way to win at that version of life is to change the game. So here I am a beer in my hand my cat at my side learning how to be a instrument of music instead of a rifle.
I know you posted this 6 years ago so I don't think anyone will see it, kind of why I posted it.
When he gets emotional, he blinks his eyes so very fast!

Hey, can someone tell me what "You swallow halos, and then spit out nuses." means, please ?
Lauren halos are what angels wear. They represent pure ness and goodness. This monster is swallowing that part of the women he hurts or assaults and spitting out nooses which are used to kill people. Nooses and halos are both circles but are very different.
