My little Zen garden…..waves represents travels. The five white stones represents water. The stack stones are trees surrounded by the red stones; fire. The larger rocks are mountains and the The Temple light represents the sun and moon.

 

Grand Master

A grand master not only must have great martial skills. He/she must have great influence on the development of their students. In addition, one must be a person of integrity and moral character. With all these elements, then he/she can be called a Grand Master.

Grandmaster V Frank Mateo, aka Professor speaks: As a child, my father was a single parent raising 4 kids of his own and paying child support for his 5th child. Not once did I ever heard of him complaining. I owe him my fondness memory and respect for life. He has taught me how to become a master of character and discipline.

Let there be democracy

If something seems to be true and accepted to be true. Then it becomes true, it is then a living lie. A generation that been raised by falsehood, who now are forced to pay for their leaders, sins.

We have faith in doing the right thing no matter the danger. Once again, we return to become stronger than before. For the right things will conquer the goodness that we have in our hearts, minds, and souls.

We must give thanks for the miracle of every moment of every day, no matter how flawed. (Mark Sullivan)

Sound Track Mudbound: Just a few lines…..

Time is a healer and I’m a believer. Like a river wild, Ego’s a killer. Greed is a monster, but love is stronger. “Stronger Than All.”

The meaning of my Tattoo

According to Hawaiian Legend, it is bad luck to explain all of the details in a Polynesia tattoo. My ink has the essence of Micronesia, Melanesia, and Polynesian art.

E’o (Hawk, I’wa bird) highest of the Aumakua.

Mano (Shark)

Pu’eo (Owl)

Mo’o (Lizard)

Honu (Turtle)

As the tattoo artist and I were discussing my upbringing and life, he came up with this marvelous ink. The same tattoo artist did my chest. All together it took 7.5 hours.
