Ready for an over due blog? Here we go.

Sonya is doing great. She’s getting her fourth infusion this week , which means she’s just about 33% done with the treatments. She’s happy. She loves her life. She feels good a hell of a lot more than she feels bad. The nausea from the chemo is controlled with cannabis, as are the discomforts and anxieties associated with going through this, not to mention that she hasn’t had the usual problem of loss of appetite. I ask the oncologists why they don’t recommend cannabis to ALL their patients. They admit that it works wonders- which is more than the federal government admits-but they are afraid of backlash from the state if they recommend this medicinal weed. Instead, they prescribe Marinol, which is synthetic THC. Sonya’s doctor tried telling me that Marinol is pure THC, but I know better- so of course, I told him so. Marinol is synthetic THC in a pill form. Maybe it doesn’t have the chlorophyll, but it’s far from pure, like the organic base it starts from. I have taken Marinol, and I can tell you that it is20nothing at all like smoking cannabis and was not an enjoyable experience.. When I first felt the effects of the Marinol that I had taken, I called the person that I had gotten it from-pissed off that I had been mislead, because I was tripping off it. I thought I had gotten something else but it was Marinol all right. That’s what the hospitals can prescribe without fear.. Those poor cancer patients. Even before we knew that Sonya had cancer, we knew that cannabis worked miracles for providing relief her from daily-turned-almost hourly- abdominal cramps. Strange how it takes misfortune like this to add credibility to what I tell you, for those who want to laugh off the issue and pretend it’s about losers wanting to get stoned. The DEA holds the position that marijuana has NO medicinal value and ...I swear this is true...that it is more dangerous than cocaine or meth. DOES ANYBODY ACTUALLY BELIEVE THESE LIES?!?!

I’m guessing that nobody does believe the lies but they are ok with not changing because they are afraid of what could happen if pot was legal. Presently, we have 12 states where doctors recommend marijuana to ease suffering in constant threat of Federal recourse. Feds say pot is a schedule 1 controlled substance( most dangerous with no medicine) while schedule 2 controlled substances( less dangerous and containing some medicinal value) are cocaine and meth. Don’t20believe me? Don’t want to know? Want to pretend that legal cancer stick you’re smoking is safe and not the most addictive drug we know of? Want to believe there are actually reported deaths from marijuana smoking in some medical journals somewhere? Want to believe that spending 7 billion dollars to fight a weed isn’t your problem? Feel ok that more people are arrested for marijuana than murder, rape, and armed robbery combined?People might give me shit for being so vocal about an issue that we’re brain washed into thinking we should be ashamed to talk about, but fuck that. It must be confusing as hell to be a school kid growing up today where you can see truthful documentaries on A&E or catch “American Drug War”( watch it!) on Showtime or You tube, and then you go to school and get lied to. I don’t mind telling the truth. Unless a doctor recommends it, kids should NOT smoke pot but they should know that the strongest financial force behind its prohibition has always been alcohol and tobacco. What? Kids should be sparred the knowledge that our government is based on big business? If you were going to outlaw a drug from a society, what would you base it on? Danger to health? Death toll? Addiction strength? Behavioral issues? Loss of motor skills? We don’t do it that way in America. We don’t do that at all. Compare ou r top two killers with our top two accepted and used drugs. Hmmm.

RVD will also tell you this( that’s me...I just thought I’d refer to myself in third person for dramatic effect), dipping your chicken tenders in your barbecue sauce while driving is more dangerous than talking on a fucking cell phone.On the governor’s desk here in California is a bill to out law texting while driving, one month after banning talking on the cell phone. What else can I say, but “DUH!” Don’t you think you should’ve thought of that first? So we got new phones because our crappy old ones didn’t have a speaker and the headset jack is flawed in that model, and now I’m driving with my phone in hand wondering if I’m allowed to fucking dial the number if texting is banned or will that be operating outside the law? I know, as you said Diane, we always still have the option to do whatever we want anyway, but who wants to hide because we’re doing something we’re told not to? It’s all about control..

By the way, I have an opportunity to get involved with something I know very little about, and you can help me. Does insurance for ipods and iphones seem like a good idea? I know that my friends drop or lose their shit ALL the time! Check out this deal and send me back some feedback if you can. Let me know if I want to have my face telling people to sign up. Thank you in advance for that. Digital Caboodle - Your Smartphone Insurance Provider! Do you guys realize what a HUGE business the prison industry is? Private companies like GEO corp build and run prisons all over and their stock is bought and sold on the market based on how many prisoners they have. Just in case you never thought about whether nonviolent “drug offenders” should be locked up in a cage , instead of, say, given therapy depending on their issues, think about it now. Just for a second. For all the dangerous murderers who want their jails back. Congratulations to Bruce Jingles- a very funny friend- for his upcoming Showtime taping on September 18th at San Manuel Casino. You’ll be able to see Bruce on an upcoming RVD TV Friends in High Places pretty soon.MySpace.com - BRUCE JINGLES - UPLAND - www.myspace.com/brucejinglesWow, I went way off track there didn’t I? You gotta stay on your toes when you’re reading this.So, I went to Spain a few more times to wrestle for NWE. I like what they have going over there. I hope they are able to make an impact. I also recently wrestled in Japan for Inoki’s IGF. I emerged victorious from a 3-way - anything-seemed-to-count-match with Kendo Kashin and Necro Butcher. It’s been all good in the ring but I am still not looking for promoters to contact me about bookings. I’ve just been doing a very few select bookings with reputable, respectable companies and I’m planning on staying home to take care of Sonya for awhile. I get asked to share spiritual insight a lot. I’m sure personal guidance is in my future on a bigger level but I usually don’t have time to respond to connection requests. We’re all connected. Believe that. Anyway, ready for a story of how the fucking Law of Attraction is undeniable? About a month or so ago, maybe longer, a fan felt compelled to forward me a blog written by a wrestler about this crazy situation in Pennsylvania. I was incredibly touched by the story of how this indy wrestler I didn’t know has been fucked over so hard by the corrupt system.Turns out-as soon as his wife’s water broke to give birth to their first baby, the assholes at the hospital told them that , because the mom had marijuana in her system, they had called the child services and were going to take their baby. Not an empty threat- they took the fucking baby! Over weed! Does that sound cool to you? This is done-not based on evidence of danger, but because the people in control can’t get a patent for a weed. By the way,=2 0I wouldn’t recommend preggers to smoke anything. I’m certainly no doctor but if I was I wouldn’t take your fucking kid from you! I’m going to post the wrestler’s blog separate from this one, because this is a long blog already- but you can read all about his tragic injustice here.

So, I read the guy’s blog and I want to help the guy so much that I tell Rob Kampia, head of M.P.P. (MPP Homepage )and my hero, about the situation and we both want to get this situation some exposure. I plan on getting ahold of this guy to tell him we are totally behind him.Anyway, I have to travel and things are set aside. A few days ago, the morning of the matches-at the Tokyo Dome Hotel, I get on the elevator and ride it down with another American. After talking to him for a few seconds I realized that this guy I’m talking to is the guy that wrote that blog! And I was going to wrestle him that night at the Sumo Palace...in Japan! I put two and two together and remembered reading the name Necro Butcher a month before! Amazing, how life brought us together, right?

First off, he has his baby back now so congrats to him and his wife. They are grateful but still not afraid to speak out about their compassionless experience.Second, I don’t know how anyone can blow off the meeting as a coincidence. I see these off chance occurrences as direct evidence of a process science doesn’t tell us about. Sonya and I both have day after day full of coincidences, as do my spiritual brothers. I totally believe that living in the magic of life like this is truly meant for everybody. I find myself wondering if life is a result of thoughts or do we get insight to what’s on it’s way? It’s like the chicken or the egg argument. But don’t argue about it. Be peaceful.

While you’re thinking about that, check out me body slamming Danny Bonaduce by clicking hereYouTube - Danny Bonaduce gets body slam from Rob Van Dam. We met on the set of Hulk Hogan’s Celebrity Wrestling. Yes, you might see me make an appearance on one of the episodes when it airs this fall. People are going to have fun enjoying this show. That’s about long enough. Don’tcha think?I will make a strong effort to update my blogs more frequently and in the mean time, I leave you with this quote from the legendary Jack Herer.“ Nobody ever died from marijuana...unless they were shot by a cop.”



Wait, that was kind of heavy to leave on. I’m definitely not a cop-hater. I just don’t believe in replacing morals with the honor of “just doing your job”. How about this? Only 2 episodes of Weed left but coming very soon...Entourage is back on HBO!That’s better. And Dexter! And Californication!Enjoy life. Oh, and use this while you’re enjoying life...I heard it on Boondocks today.“It’s only as valuable as what you’ re willing to give for it.”Nice.

US GOVERNMENT TAKES PRO WRESTLERS BABY BECAUSE OF CANNABIS

The following blog was forwarded to me by a fan who knew I'd care. Read on, and search your feelings.

Subject:

US GOVERNMENT TAKES PRO WRESTLERS BABY BECAUSE OF CANNABIS

Body:

Hey Rob, Hope everything is going well for you and Sonya.

I dont want to bum you out dude but you have always been strongly pro-cannabis and I wanted to share with you this true horror-story, what the US Government did too a fellow pro wrestler of yours ROH star Necro Butcher because of weed.



FROM NECRO BUTCHER's BLOG:

I'm tired of explaining this over and over again to my friends, so here it is, out here, for all to read. On June 11, my beautiful wife, Virginia gave birth to a healthy beautiful , and as I've learned, very hungry baby girl. Which we named Amy Virginia. Amy is my mother's name. She went into the hospital on the 10th. On the morning of the 11th, our doctor informed us that he wanted to speed things along and he wanted to break her water. We agreed to this and it was done, then with the next breath out of his mouth, he told us that my wife had marijuana in her urine and the state was taking the baby from us. They had nothing on me, nothing on my family, no history of drug offenses on any of us, just one failed urinalysis. So my 22 year old wife then laid in labor for 10 hours knowing full well her bay would be taken when it came. And taken it was. Taken from her arms on the 12th, when I wasnt even there, my wife was alone went she had to go through this. We were told to be patient and keep our heads up, it would just take time, no one knew would tell us how long though. We were told our "hearing" would be the following monday morning. Now keep in mind, this was thursday night, with the next day being Flag Day, with all government offices and most businesses closed. So we could call no one for help, nothing, we had no money for a private attorney. We had no idea what to do and no one was there to help. Our only hope to keep our newborn daughter out of foster care was to have my mother petition for custody while my wife completed whatever programs they told her to. The monsters at Lawrence County Child Youth Services told us the only was we could do that was if my wife moved out of the house .Yeah, thats right, to keep my daughter I had to watch my wife move out. We met our court appointed attorney 5 minutes before the "hearing". At this "hearing" we were not allowed to speak, not allowed to enter any plea, not allowed to explain our situation or our feelings, nothing, we just had to sit there while they they passed judgment on my entire family. So now me and my mom are raising this little girl, while my wife sits alone in a near empty house on the other side of town. My mom is the head nurse of a critical care unit, so when she misses work, the unit is understaffed and sick people dont get the care they need. Since the 12th, my wife has been "allowed" to see her baby daughter twice, for 1 hour each time. And the bills are piling up, Im now paying rent on a house for my outlaw wife to live in and cant help my mom out as much and shes missing work to care for my baby, so her bills are piling up. And oh yeah, the nazis at CYS cancelled BOTH my daughter and my wife from Medicaid, since, when my mom actually does work, she makes too much to qualify. So now no insurance for either of them. So we wait, and through all of this, we still have no case worker, no timeline, nothing, just a family thats falling apart and nobody cares. I spend every minute of everyday torn between visiting my wife or my daughter, and choosing my wife or actually wrestling means leaving my mom with the baby. At least I get a choice, my wife doesnt. She would violate a "court" order and lose her parental rights for unapproved visits. And were both subject to random drug tests now. Somehow Im sucked into this nightmare too, so I can drink all the fucking beer I can, be a fat, lazy, drunk and thats cool, but God fucking forbid I smoke a joint or I will be in the same boat as my wife. The ACLU has hooked us up with a lawyer and we meet with her on tuesday, so stay tuned. In the meantime, to all our friends, there plenty of smoking behind us, and plenty ahead, but in the meantime, were on the shelf.


Keep it lit for us.

Yay! Pollution!

Happy 4th of July everyone! Feeling independent? Maybe spiritually?


First off, Sonya is doing great. She recently had surgery to get a catheter implant for chemo therapy treatment, which we’ll be starting next week. It takes a lot of mental strength to subject oneself to 6 months of taking this poison, especially when you’re told that the cancer has been removed.. The thing is-they give you a 50% chance of it returning when it’s stage 3. That’s a flip of a coin, and a gamble we’re not willing to take. Every two weeks she’ll be hooked up to a machine for two days at a time.


In the mean time, she’s incredibly awesome!


Sonya and I took a trip to the Canary Islands for a pre-chemo get-away. I took a booking to get us there and I wrestled 4 matches in four days. I have to admit, being back in the ring didn’t suck. I’m not ready to live full-time out on the road again, but I’d like to see the NWE take off. Along with myself, the talent consisted of Rikishi, Orlando Jordan, Chris Masters, John Heidenreich, Ultimo Dragon, Juvetude, Vito and many wrestlers you might not know, with many more stars on the way. After I left for home, Raven and Booker T hit the shows. NWE sold out huge WWE size arenas and that along with the first class treatment made me forget the things I don’t enjoy about the business.


This week we flipped our calendars to July, which means here in California, it is officially illegal to talk on your cell phone while driving- unless you have a hands-free situation like a head set or speaker option. Now, this is something that everybody probably agrees “Sure, that seems like a good idea.” I know it bothers me to see some 16 year-old driver turning across traffic at a busy intersection with a phone stuck to the side of their head. Even more, sometimes I’m ashamed at being that idiot myself. Have cell phones caused a lot of traffic accidents? I don’t know, but let’s think this through, as long as we’re giving up more freedom. We should probably outlaw eating while driving, too. Wouldn’t that be at least just as dangerous? In fact, let’s also ban putting on chap stick or lip stick, definitely flossing, and probably smoking while we’re driving. Those of you who are saying “ None of those sound like good ideas anyway-except maybe smoking” let me remind you that we’re not talking about making judgement calls, we’re giving up the right to do just that. In fact, I was driving the day the law went into effect and wondered if I would be breaking the law by plugging one ear with my finger. I drove around for a few minutes with my one finger plugging my ear and I felt extremely shady, like I must look suspicious as fuck! It shouldn’t be illegal to stick a finger in your ear, should it? Can they take that away from you? I guess they can, since extending your middle finger is prohibited. Believe it or not, I heard you can tape a phone to your head! I’m just imagining all the new gimmicks that the phone companies can cash in on now to capitalize on this situation. That means big money for big businesses, and they keep us under their control.


The gays think they have freedom, now that California is allowing them to get married. If they have to find out what medical marijuana patients find out all the time...the Federal Government doesn’t give a shit about State laws. How’d you like to be enjoying life with your spouse to find out one day that Big Brother doesn’t accept your commitment so they decide you’re single all of a sudden? At what point is it none of their fucking business? When we blindly accept that things are either legal or against the law and use that knowledge to base morality on, we are disconnected from reality.


I’m sure you’ve heard that sodomy is against the law in many official books, right? You might have even giggled about it. Have you ever thought about the condoned and expected anal raping that would occur if you were locked up for doing the same thing without their control?


On the way back from Spain I couldn’t help but notice the junkies, all over the airports. In the rest rooms at the departure terminal, they’re getting their last fix before boarding an international flight. In the arrival rest rooms, they’re at it again because they can’t wait until they get outside at the bottom of the escalator. They know it’s against Federal law but somehow it’s ok. Outside, as we walked from one terminal to another, we literally have to zig-zag to avoid the bodies all over the side walk using their drugs. Any hope of catching some fresh air is always quickly put to rest as soon as those doors to the outside open and the cigarette smoke rolls in. Mmmmm. Yummy! Doesn’t reading this make you want a delicious roll of cyanide and formaldehyde right now? Why shouldn’t you? As long as you’re standing near 4 1/2 other people, they have just as much of a chance as you do of dying from the smoke. Besides, you can’t stop because you’re addicted, so what does anybody expect?


On a recent episode of RVD TV, I discuss the power of the mind with Warrior and Chris Nowinski. My position is that there is no mental addiction. It’s just an excuse for a weak mind. I realize this may inspire some argumentative feedback from some of you, which is fine, but I doubt that you will change my opinion. Physical addiction I can understand, although I do believe the power of the mind can over come it. If your body chemistry is altered and becomes dependent on a foreign chemical to keep in balance, and the chemical is removed I can understand where some physical “freaking out” can occur. Still, a strong mind has all the answers within it. Most people that smoke cigarettes say that they don’t want to, but the addiction is stronger than their will power. I don’t mean to offend, but I call bull shit. It’s socially acceptable to be addicted to something so you have an excuse for being “out of control” of the situation. It’s still bull shit. They’ll tell you you’re a victim. You have a disease. That’s why you cheat on your spouse, you’re addicted to sex! Don’t blame yourself! You’re addicted to sabotaging good things in your life, you poor, helpless victim. Personally, I have gone months and months of doing massive amounts of recreational drug use and still quit on a dime when I wanted to. I have gone more weeks then a calendar year consuming cannabis 24-7 and still had no problem taking time off when I decided. It’s in the mind. We have a good friend who insisted for years that she couldn’t quit smoking and was willing to “try” anything. She just didn’t want to quit. If you light up, it’s because you want to. I have friends who tell me they enjoy smoking cigarettes and have no desire to quit. I can respect that. I don’t care what anyone else tells you-you are in control. The minute our friend that couldn’t stop smoking found out she was pregnant she stopped smoking-just like that. They will tell you that you are addicted so they can control you and you’ll let them because it’s easy. It’s big business. Get sent to rehab for any other issues and find out how quickly they will get you hooked on cigarettes while you’re there. In rehab! You will get hooked on nicotine, the most “addictive” drug we know of... in rehab...while you’re sent there to find out why you enjoy porn so much.


Are you comfortable with them in control of your life like that? I’m not.


So, back to Warrior. You may have heard some rumors about me training him recently. Here’s the scoop. He called with that request, and I was honored to get the call. He hadn’t been in the ring for ten years or so and he said he would be honored if I had the time to help him out. Because of our situation with Sonya’s health, I was only able to get in the ring with Warrior one day. We didn’t do a lot- mostly running the ropes, locking up and talking about what made Warrior so exciting to watch back in the day. I was ready for my outrageous Warrior moment. I had cameras standing by ready to capture the craziness that everyone has come to expect but instead, I spent the day with a hell of a cool guy that I shared a lot with. He showed me nothing but respect and appreciation, and at the end of the day I was amazed by how much we had in common. You may have seen the video I recorded of me imitating the Warrior on you tube.. I knew that people would see right away that he has a sense of humor, which is probably way different than your previous opinion. I have had nothing but good things to say about Warrior from my experiences with him and if I told you something bad, I’d be lying-which I don’t do. I remember watching that WWE video on him just like you did, and it just made me remember how exciting and intense he was. I listened to the WWE’ers claiming that Warrior was just detached from reality and couldn’t do a promo to save his life and I just thought “ How could that be true? I used to buy tickets to go see this guy so I know what he did worked!” It’s cool how things come around full circle and I’m glad we connected on a professional and even more so, a personal level.


Send your positive vibes to our boy Justin “the Insane One” McCully. He’s been in fight mode for awhile in preparation for his big return to the UFC octagon on Saturday, the 5th. His match with Gabriel Gonzaga isn’t scheduled to be broadcast, but from what I understand, if the fights run short on time we might still see the match so keep your fingers crossed for some quick knock-outs! Kick ass JMC!


While in Spain, I finished Brett Hart’s autobiography. Damn good book! Ever time I picked it up, I wanted to keep turning the pages to see what was happening. I had a hard time pulling away from it and when it was all over, I feel like I understand a friend much more. I’m amazed at how much I have in common with Brett, seeing as how he comes from a family of wrestling and I just followed a far-fetched dream to get into the business. He prides himself on things that I pride myself on and shares the same views on specific wrestlers, wrestling moves, and the ingenuousness of the whole industry, not to mention life. No wonder we get along so well. We sat in the same dressing rooms at different times and saw the same shadiness. Read his book.


I am planning to be at Comic Con in San Diego. I told some people that I wouldn’t be there but plans have changed so check the “news” page on this site at the end of the week to get the signing schedule.


Damn, this blog is long. Guess I should hit it more often. In the mean time, let me kick this out of my head. Did Santa deliver my Weeble Wobble Playset? Did the Son of a Virgin walk on water? Did an inventor attract lightning with a key tied to a kite? I have no fucking idea. It all sounds worth questioning, though- and if you wonder about shit like this or anything else that you feel you’re not supposed to think about...I don’t hate you. I think you’re fine.


Bye everybody. Live as if it was your birth right to enjoy each day to its fullest- because it is.

RVD TV Watchers

Hello everybody. Hope the weekend's great for you.

Technical difficulties prevented Friday's show from being posted on time, but relax. The RVD TV editor is replacing his crashed hard drive and everything will continue smoothly. I expect the show to be up tonight ( Sunday) and it goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway-sorry for the inconvenience. That's coming, and of course a new episode on Friday.

RVD 5 Star Comic ( episode # 21) is the footage you've been waiting to see from my stand-up comedy shows. To date, I've been up on stage 4 times and this show has highlights from all of them, including footage of Jay Mohr, Eric Bischoff, Justin McCully, Daniel Puder and more. I'll get back on stage when the energy is right but we've been plenty busy at the Casa de Van Dam.

Sonya is feeling good and has really appreciated all the support. We'll be finding out more information about her chemo treatments at the beginning of June.
I do have a lot of other stuff going on but it all takes a back seat at the moment. Fill you in on that later.

Keep watching RVD TV for some awesome episodes that I've already got waiting to show and the kick ass episodes I'll continue to film.

You want Warrior? We got Warrior. Believe it or not...we got him in Friends in High Places! With head of Sports Legacy Institute Chris Nowinski!

Also coming is footage from the comic conventions, the Portugal trip, Jack Herer, Shelly Martinez, and much, much more that I hope you enjoy as much as I do!

Have an outstanding day!
RVD

Here's the Deal

Stage 3 colon cancer. Laparoscopic surgery to remove it. 6 months of chemo ahead of us. You know what she tells me?


She says she’d rather be going through this than a divorce with me!
Just to let me know how good of a job I’m doing as a husband. She’s so awesome!
I’ve always said this, but- what an amazing wife!


The incredible strength we have as a team provides us with great power to cope with great and unpleasant times. Our love for life is filled with wonderful memories and an unstoppable desire to have many more. We are grateful for our past and our future, so we’ll do what we have to today to keep us healthy for tomorrow.
As you know, this is all new to us. What should we expect from the chemo treatments? I’ve heard of people getting treatments in the morning and going straight to work. I’ve also heard of it wearing people down. I understand they’ve come a long way in recent years, but what should we expect? Is traveling in between rounds an option? I’m asking you.


Sonya and I probably won’t know much more about what we’ll be going through until June, so we’ll keep you posted, as always.
We appreciate the support coming in-from prayers to cards to even running in her name T.?



You fans rock. Enjoy life. It’s there for you.

update on Sonya

Hello everybody. We want everyone to know that Sonya’s surgery went well and she’s back home recovering now. I’ve had her home for one week and after a few miserable days, she’s making her comeback. The misery was due to what they called “post-operation illis”. After the surgery to remove part of her colon and attach the loose ends, her body took a few extra days to swell intensely, which caused bruising and a lot of discomfort- to say the least. We got her checked out and soon afterwards, swelling went down and everything has been getting better day by day. At this point, we don’t know what kind of therapy treatment we’re facing but whatever they say to do-we’ll do it. We really appreciate all the support that you have been sending our way. The love, prayers, and positive energy made it all the way, as Sonya and I read every comment on my Myspace together and received the attended lift.

All the phone calls, texts, emails and other genuine, straight hearted messages mean a lot to both of us.

Now let me grab Sonya for you. SONYA...?




“Once again you fans have been amazing during challenging times. I still have the cards that I received from the jet-ski accident and I can never forget all the kind wishes. Your personal stories have given me strength in the knowledge that I am in no way alone in this battle, when it can be difficult to keep spirits up. I want to thank all the friends, family and fans that are going through this with us.”

We will have an update for everyone at the end of the week. Cards can be sent in care of:
