That Joe Camacho, I tell ya, he was somethin’ else. Heard he’s gone now, bless his soul. Died young, that one. Only 41, they say. Just a young’un, really. Makes ya think, don’t it? One day you’re here, the next… poof! Gone. Like a puff of smoke. That’s life, I guess.
They say he was a fighter, that Joe. Some kinda… MMA fighter, whatever that is. Sounds rough, if you ask me. And Jiu-Jitsu? What in tarnation is Jiu-Jitsu? Sounds like somethin’ you’d catch, not somethin’ you’d do on purpose. But he was good at it, they say. A black belt, even. Two of ’em, they say! A second degree black belt in Jiu-Jitsu! Second degree! That Joe Camacho, he sure was somethin’.
Heard he was in a movie, too. Can you believe that? Joe Camacho, a movie star! Well, maybe not a star, but he was in it. They filmed his fights, I reckon. Showed ’em all big and grand on the screen. People like that kinda thing, I guess. All that rough housin’ and whatnot. Not my cup of tea, but to each their own, I always say.
They got this thing, a show, all about him. Called “Macho.” Now that’s a name. Macho Joe Camacho. Sounds like a tough fella, don’t he? I reckon he was, with all that fightin’ and whatnot. They put this show on that Showtime thing. That fancy channel. I don’t have that one, but folks who do say it’s somethin’ to see. All about Joe Camacho’s life.
They say he had a hard life, that Joe. A tough childhood, they say. That’s sad, ain’t it? A little boy, havin’ to go through tough times. But he made somethin’ of himself, didn’t he? Became a champion, even. A world champion! Can you imagine? Little Joe Camacho, all grown up and a world champion. Just goes to show ya, don’t it? Never judge a book by its cover, as they say.
But it all came to a bad end, I hear. Got mixed up with some bad stuff. Addiction, they call it. That’s a terrible thing, that is. Gets a hold of ya and won’t let go. Ruins lives, it does. And it ruined his, poor Joe. They say he got murdered. Shot dead, just like that. Only 50 years old. Just a shame.
You can read all about it, you know. His life and all. I don’t know about all them fancy places. That TV Guide place, maybe? They got lists of his awards. That’s what they say, anyways. That Joe Camacho, he won lots of awards. He must have, to be a champion and all that.
And you can learn about him, too, if you want. Some fancy place called Quizlet. I don’t know nothing about that. Got tools, they say. Study tools. To help you learn. Sounds like school to me. Maybe that’s where they teach you about Jiu-Jitsu and all that. I don’t know.
There’s this other thing, a story. A true story, they call it. ‘Bout Joe Camacho’s life. His “inspiring” life, they say. And his “tragic” death. Sounds like a sad story, don’t it? But a good one, I reckon. One worth tellin’.
And you can watch it, too. That show, I mean. That “Macho” show. They tell you how to watch it, somewhere. I don’t know where. But if you’re interested in that kinda thing, you can find it, I’m sure.
