Always good to hang out with my classmates for ‘86!! Dudes still looking good and in good health after 37years. Always nice to win the game!!

Even as an apex predator, I never underestimate any situation or anyone. It is a thing known that you, no matter how much courage you possess can not prevail. Is it not your understanding that defeat awaits you? And in that defeat you gain what you must desire?

It is my hope that any opponent that may challenge me is worthy, brave, and strong. So that IF I am defeated, I will not be ashamed. Defeat, especially at the hands of a worthy adversary, will only become a source of inspiration, a valuable lesson, and fuel for growth and change. If I gain all of this, then I will have lost nothing.
