Angol
Mindanao is a journey - a journey through life. In Mindanao, you will meet the author's father, Donald Bivens, Sr., who was brutally gunned down when the author was twenty two years of age. You will meet Gut, Marge, the author's mom, Clarence, Steve, Danny, AJ, the Groping Grandma, and A.E. Staley, the founder of the Chicago Bears. You will tour mansions, cry as fortunes are lost, cheer while millions are made, become hopelessly stranded in a mountainous park, plot revenge for a mysterious disappearing rabbit, and writhe in mental anguish. You will sit spellbound while the author was trapped in Manila. Trapped? Yes, imprisoned in a Manila hotel all alone with a beautiful and exotic woman. You will also find out that while the author has indeed been bloodied from tragedy, he has managed to skate away in triumph only to be smacked down time and time again by the ever present warrior, fate. The author chooses not to surrender however - he moves onward and rises far above the impenetrable wall of success.
