The Producers said they want us to tour right across Canada next year. They said to promote the film and help support Firefighters cancer awareness. RIDE ? I said. Sparkle lit up right away! Unfotunately inspired by bee keepers. I started my own Mason bees and worked up to buying a flow hive. Doing my part to save the bees. But how can I leave them?

My dreams were to one day be a firefighter. Later in life hoped to make a movie like I did as a child with my dad on his 8 mm camera. Well an amazing film company that believes in my story is actually making my movie but I get to be a Producer. I got cancer from my job and people politely say, its for a reason. Ha I thought. Well my dreams are coming true. Oddly enough had I never got cancer they might not have. If you know someone that is sick and the Doctor told them to get their affairs in order it looks bad. Tell them my story. Better yet bring them to my film next year! Believe! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FsrPEUt2Dg Thank you Mom for buying me my first bike. Look where I went. I was free. I love you so much. I miss you every day. Rudy What it was like to fly over Fiji. But in a Beaver float plane, made in Canada, with a pilot from Vancouver, Canada... that finds out Vancouver is my home town. Chapter 11 : The Deserts.
It could not have been in a more remote location the night a scorpion stung me. No phone reception on a dirt road, and over a hundred km to a roadhouse. I was in my warm sleeping bag the sting felt like a hot knife burning its way into my skin. All I could do to kill the pain was take a Demerol I had for extreme pain. I thought I surely was going to die there. I knew a Bark Scorpion was deadly but I had no idea what type it was as it scurried into the night as I rolled around in pain in the sand. I was at first very afraid of dying alone there. I thought of my family and friends, all the people I had met terminally ill that were so brave.How could they be so brave? I thought about the time spent in the cancer ward thinking I will die there in some bed. I thought how I almost died trapped falling through a staircase in a house fire. I wished I had found the peace again . But then I felt calm, as I looked up the the beautiful desert stars. I felt an absolute peace in this beautiful warm place. Maybe it was the demerol. I went into a feverish dream. I awoke the next morning and clenched the sand in my fists feeling the earth knowing I would live. And then suddenly, I knew why I had yet been given another chance to live. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4P16YC_2vKU The clock stopped at 10:10 am in the Oncologists office. If you are ever face to face with your own mortality like I was several times, know this is true: You will likely beat it if you stay positive, and when you do: Every sunrise, every sunset, every success and every new friend you make will mean so much more that it ever did in your past life !  Excited to have been accepted by the Canadian Red Cross as an Internation Aid and Emergency Response Technician. Packed and ready for delpoyment, using all my previous firefighting skills. Now I will have followed my inspirational Fathers footsteps in all three of his major life events: Engineer/Paramedic/Red Cross. Love you Dad (Rudy Sr.) ! I met a lot of Nomads. I was always amazed by their strength and courage. I will write more about their stories in my book and film under final edits and coming out soon. Plus some other people that came into my life recently, good, bad some I miss so much. Some Nomads had travelled for months, some had travelled for years. They had lost lifetime partners, had broken hearts, were dying or were going great distances around the world for a cause. They gave it all away, job, home, they lived outside and surprising they all smelled pretty good. Its hard to keep clean fed and healthy living on the road...really. Sometimes we travelled a few days together, we laughed we cried we told stories of our journeys and hardships. They all signed my flag that will rest on Everest did you? In the end when we said goodbye, I gave them all 3 things they needed: Food, water and a good long powerful hug! I gave them all 3 things they needed: Food, water and a good long powerful hug!  |
