Khagendra Thapa Magar October 4, 1992 - January 17, 2020

My stature has always been 'above and beyond' ...

I'm somewhat taller and a lot broader than most others on the planet.

This is due to the fact that I was a victim of childhood obesity long before it became a national tragedy.

You might say that I brought it all on to the rest of you.

This situation has been a constant torment in my life. It's one with which I've come to grips in a variety of ways including, but not limited to:

• compliance with my prescription drugs,
• learning insights into general health,
• losing body fat as well as I can over the years, and of late,
• blowing $700 on a cavitation machine

The sum total of this is less girth, the same height, and a more 'normalized' stature in general.

Others have their own crosses to bear in the way of stature, genetics, and environment ... nature vs nurture.

The Nepali recognized by Guinness World Records as being the shortest man in the world passed yesterday due to complications of pneumonia in a hospital in Pokhara Nepal.

Khagendra Thapa Magar, a primordial dwarf, was 27 years old, measured 2 ft 2 in, and was a smoker.

It is said that he was a palm sized infant. His stature permitted travel around the world and television spots in Europe.

He charmed most everyone with whom he came into contact with his smiling and accommodating nature. Of late, he had been in and out of hospitals for pulmonary issues.

Personally, I've seen him pose in many photographs including one with the tallest man in the world.
 

My religion has evolved during my lifetime.

I suppose I began as a Baptist because my earliest memories of Sunday and church involved the Baptist faith and I consider this the result of my blessed Mother who considered her faith an important aspect of who she was and we were typically scrubbed and dressed up each Sunday for services of one kind or another ... or both.

Later we worshipped in Methodist churches and I view this primarily a function of what was near, usual, and customary in the homelands of my father but steady through it all was my mother's unwavering faith to keep us in there and trying to do the right thing.

Nowadays, I have rejected dominational religion altogether and indeed, some of the apologists like Washington Street United Methodist Church in Columbia South Carolina who embrace abomination and discard the authoritative scripture coming from the very word of God and biblical canon itself.

So now I consider myself a Christian. I do not subscribe to any denominations as they are "that which separates" theology and as such are devisive and subjects faith more and more to the traditions of men and less those communications set forth by The Almighty in the Holy Bible.

Today is National Religious Freedom Day. It is held in commemoration of the Virginia General Assembly's adoption of Thomas Jefferson's Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom on January 16, 1786.

That statute became the underlying foundation for the First Amendment of the US Constitution and led to freedom of religion for all Americans citizens.

Religious Freedom Day has been officially proclaimed each January 16 since 1993 by the President of the US.
 

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

John 3:16 Holy Bible King James Version

I've never ceased wondering where some of the youtube people get off with their representations of posts whereby they miss the mark altogether. These people who use the words "wonderful" and "best" and "must" in reference to their lame posts in some effort to coerce indulgence from the unsuspecting public.

Nowadays if the descriptors include "must see" or "must hear" ... or some other equally banal lying ass drivel I don't even bother with it anymore. I've deleted mass quantities of files in my collections for these very reasons. In the immortal words of Montgomery Scott in Star Trek, the original series Friday's Child episode "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me."

Such misrepresentations in that which is offered are the stuff of hawkers through the eons or some Tiajuana "gold merchant" at the border.

It's rather like my evil inbred white trash aunt saying how "God don't love ugly" when she's the biggest theiving crook and shyster to ever place a cloven hoof on the planet and all I do is sit and wait for her to die so I can go desecrate her grave in as many examples of hatred as my fertile mind can envision.

Actually, I just want her to stop poisoning the air for the rest of us by continuing to breathe it.

So when you choose to speak in lofty terms regarding your creations I do hope you'll take a moment and consider reality prior to posting. "Wonderful" is a term which is subjective and just because you think something is doesn't mean we all will.

Thank you for your kind indulgence and I'll shut my trap now.

I'm not one to tout medical miracles and indeed I have a lot of contempt for the medical profession given my experiences at the local richland county hospital and their incompetent oafs, particularly female DO's who need to stay away from people's loved ones instead of being allowed to kill them along with the criminal richland county EMS who hijacks patients and sends them to a gd hospital staffed primarily with students and then lie to the patient's family regarding the circumstances, lie to the coroner, falsely accuse the family of abusing the patient, and generally are untruthful blebs on society at large which should be terminated with extreme prejudice.
