RIP Hector Camacho

Before ridiculing the behavior of boxer Hector "Macho" Camacho, let's take a moment to praise his boxing talent and consider that, as a performer seeking to feed his family, he had to market himself with what we call gimmicks, admirably recounted by George Diaz, http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/columnists/os-george-diaz-macho-camacho-funeral-1201-20121130,0,883748.column  Would quote but this computer balky at best and hates me at worst.)

As humans, we tend to see these and other public indiscretions of a famous individual as sum total of who they are.nevertheless, this presumption prevents us from realizing we see but a portion.  Also, too many imbued with fame and fortune whether through athletic talent like Mr. Camacho or pathetic and vacuous Kardashians created by our celebrity culture, become the gimmicks or circus act they use to make money.

Used to wish fame and fortune for myself, nevertheless this stay in medical rehab facility reminds me becoming myself a pretty good thing to be.

Besides, some will celebrate my passing, and not in the good way either.  At least, people noted he riotous wake of this "Macho" man.



[Hector "Macho" Camacho can't rest in peace just yet.

catfight involving the slain boxing legend's alleged lover, his official girlfriend and sisters marred Tuesday's wake in honor of the former world champion at the Puerto Rico Department of Sports and Recreation.

The somber atmosphere took a violent turn when Cynthia Castillo, a local woman claiming to be Camacho's partner at the time of his death, removed the casket veil covering his face and kissed him on the mouth, El Nuevo Dia of Puerto Rico reported.]
