When Randy Couture fights at 46, I feel empowered. Like, "I'm still alive" at 50. When he beats skilled kids 15 years younger, I realize I'm nothing like him. He's special in a way I can't imagine. Nevertheless, his effort and victory inspire me to reach beyond what a normal 50 year old should.
Here's to Mr Couture...and to believing beyond imagination.
Tales of a Wandering Samurai is a collection of reflections on the adventures of this old man. The reference to a Samurai is based less on history and more on the stylistic archetypal Samurai of modern pop culture and literature; i.e. comic books (Wolverine), movies (The Last Samurai, Star Wars, Ronin), video games (Shogun: Total War) with influences seen even among some of the hip hop/rap music characters popular today.
