TKC NOTE: As the Summer comes to a conclusion, tonight out pal Craig Glazer considers the big questions and not only advocates a bit of contemplation but also public service. Check it:
What We Leave Behind Us
Even as children we start to think about what our lives will mean to not only us but others. The ones we will leave behind when its our time to go. We are all on that bus.
One doesn't have to be rich or famous to make their mark. Not at all. We all make terrible mistakes as we grow up even after we grow up. Sometimes its those mistakes that can define our past and help someone else's future. In most cases our children.
Trying to keep up with the 'Jones' is never the way. There is no THE BEST. Seeing in each one of our lives what matters and has staying power is the ticket. Lord knows I am not a good example.
We can all contribute to the next group. Not only our children but the areas future. We all know teachers don't get enough credit, but we are all teachers to someone.
Some say our lives matter little in the big picture. I sure can see that point of view. I mean in world history nobody was bigger than the Roman Empire..the sun never set on the British Empire..so on til we, America came along. Yet today most people can't name ten Romans or ten Englishmen from those once towering nations. Time washes everything away. The richest the smartest the most powerful in time are all forgotten.
I was in Westwood California a few years back, visiting my pals gravesite. It was one he bought when he was a young man. Today it would have been way too expensive for him. Buried near Aaron Binder, my pal, were Jack Lemmon and Marilyn Monroe, she was in a tomb. I thought boy they don't seem so important now. Nobody seems to care. Well that may be a bit over the top, but nobody was around so it seemed that way.
For those of us like myself who don't have their own children, I believe we need to invest time with other peoples youngsters in charities, speeches about what we have learned and participate in some positive way so their future can be brighter than our lives have been. In my case my brother and I have worked hard on his two boys to make sure they didn't repeat our mistakes. Today we are so proud of them, A+ students in high school and one in college, both student athletes and great young men. Way better than we were.
While nothing lasts forever we can try and fix todays problems by helping todays youth. Tomorrow's issues in Kansas City will be different, I hope.
My poor choices at times have been the subject I speak about to young people in schools and in charity work I have done so for many years now. No its not enough. As I get older I want to do more. We all have a story to tell, a life we lived with ups and downs, lessons in life. In the end that's all we can really leave behind that can last.

Nicely done Craig. Most people aren't this thoughtful and simply live their lives without much consideration of their own fate much lest others. You are wise to remind people to think about the big picture.
ReplyDeleteWell done, indeed.
I'm sure your hairpiece will outlive you by about three hundred years.
ReplyDeleteWhat a crock of total bullshit....coming from a douche bag that runs with hookers, strippers, drug users and dealers, snitches, and basically the scum of the earth.
ReplyDeleteSounds like something written by Byron Funkhouser during a self induced coma.
I may take a shit and try and get this out of my system. Damn.
So will his herpes.
ReplyDeleteIt would behoove Mr. Botello to read this column.
ReplyDeleteThe current Botello legacy is a website filled with divisiveness, hatred and stupidity, fueled by lies, inaccuracies and needless fear.
Is that how anyone want to be remembered?
Zzzzzzz
ReplyDeleteWho reads this shit? Blah blah.
ReplyDeleteA regular fucking humanitarian. I recall a story on KCC glazer told, it was about bangin some broad while her 7 or 8 year old kid waited in the living room. Fucking degenerate.
ReplyDeleteThat makes this story more interesting. Call it the duality of man. Craig is a good guy, you people need to get a grip.
ReplyDeleteMost of these folks sound jealous.
ReplyDeleteThanks Craig.
DeleteGlazer considers his belly button .... and dirty lint.
ReplyDeleteLOl. you aren't fit to be a pebble under Craig's shoe. Suck it.
ReplyDeleteTell me a little lie to remember you by.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a cum bucket?
ReplyDeleteAgree with the person who said that a lot of these haters are just jealous. They don't have lives and nobody cares what they do so they have latched on to Craig and try to hate on him. Craig seems like an okay person and this was a nice thought for tonight.
ReplyDeleteFuck Glazer. He is a shit licking punk that's legacy is of a snitch that let his "buddy" die while he snuck off.
ReplyDeleteNOBODY!!!! is jealous of the lying crook!
Best part is he sends the same atta boys over and over! What a whore fucking loser!
"iN SCHOOLS????!?!!"
ReplyDeleteAre you fckin serious?!?!?
You're giving speeches "IN" fucking schools?!?!
Oh, Lordy...... Here we go....
G
He sure does, he spoke at UMKC law school. My daughter was there, loved it, ate it up. His story is awesome.
ReplyDeletethanks Craig.
DeleteLet me make this clear, I don't give a hoot about Glazer one way or the other. Someone on here keeps calling him a 'snitch'. Do you mean because he was an undercover agent. You can't be a cop if you are arrested and convicted so at that time he was not convicted of anything. He is on radio weekly, never heard one caller say he snitched him out or anyone else. Your story is bullshit and you know it.
ReplyDeleteYou can hate the man for whatever you like but making shit up doesn't make you look good. I think you are full of shit sir.
....and after trying to read through this disjointed, stream of semi-consciousness posting...it's clear that some will leave behind a sordid history of online ramblings as a diffuse cry for help.
ReplyDeleteTony and Craig thanks for this inspiring piece. Great work.
ReplyDelete9:39 ditto for me. This hater has called Glazer a snitch a million times no names, no proof. Hater you need to shut the hell up. I hate you not Glazer. Shut up.
ReplyDeletePLUS ME, A MILLION YEAH SHUT THE FUCK UP ALREADY.
ReplyDelete24 comments, 19 of them by Glazer.
ReplyDeleteThat is totally fucked up.
Dude, you need to get back to sucking the little bowed up prick.....what's his name ?
The Bad Bob or something like that. The MMA weenie.
9:36 your daughter ate something else a little later that evening. I was attached just above my nut sack !
ReplyDeleteNow, shut the fuck up.
TONY why do you let these animals comment.
ReplyDeleteGlazer who admits he likes Mary S that nasty ass latino even Tony hates. There is maybe two peole on here who post the positive Glazer shit and all the other stuff is people who truly dislike the guy. After that POS country club story on KCC I'd be surprise if there wasn't a contract out on him. Glazer sure does know how to piss the real money in this town off. No wonder he is the loser he is. The guy who can only get strippers to date him.
ReplyDeleteCraig Glazer you have more balls than Dick Tracy. To put up with these assholes on here and even KCC is quite a job, you have my respect. Fantastic stories, viewpoints, best in KC media. I like that you pull no punches. You have been dead on with the Chiefs and Royals for years. Thank you for being a stable force in a sea of lost souls. Good for you.
ReplyDeleteFuck You 11:32
ReplyDelete11:32 is The king of skanks himself! Fucking snitch!
ReplyDeleteYour mere mention of Mary Sanchez as a member of Woodside is reason enough for 99 percent of this town to not ever step foot at that disease-riddled club and pool.
ReplyDeleteCraig Glazer @ HCC 8/25/14
From what I have known about this guy is he would fuck your wife snitch out your kids then go fuck your mom just for giggles, pure white trash who is not deserving of any attention.
ReplyDeletethis website is funny because a 65 year old bar owner writes like half the replies to his own stories.
ReplyDeleteReal "deep" dude. Mindblowing work.
Please be sure to come back tomorrow with whatever crapola you want to post.
By the way, this is just a rehash of an earlier KCC story where "craig glazer examines the meaning of life".
It must not mean to be honest and a straight shooter because you were a narc and a snitch and a bad businessman who ripped off comedians and vendors alike.
If you weren't such a joke it would be funny. See you at woodside, lol.
Enjoyed the story as always. Craig some people just hate, no reason. As you have written over and over, life is tough for everyone. They don't know that they think its just them. Forgive these people. They are sick with rage and hate for themselves not you. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDelete8:27 well put. I notice the hater who calls Glazer a snitch is up all night with his lies. As someone else wrote earlier, insults with no evidence. Just jealous hate. Hater Craig has stated he isn't perfect. I guess these people exist on all of these blogs. Too bad.
ReplyDeleteThis guy needs to run for Mayor he has the Bullshit down cold.
ReplyDeleteHe tried once they indicted his ass. I agree Glazer would have been a 'hot' mayor with national attention, we needed that. His dad tried too. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteCraig good luck with new club at Rosana Square. Drove by, good spot, looks nice.
