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.
