Del Toro Is More Than Just a Name!

Toro, Del Toro, not a just a name but an entity. What does it mean to be Del Toro, to be “Of the Bull”? Well, think of the bull in a fight in a ring. Everything in his entire life has lead up to this moment and the one that precedes. Unafraid steps are boldly made to face whatever lay ahead. He focuses on the “red”, and then, he charges! With great passion and purpose he moves forward towards what’s for him, metaphorically, impossible dreams, ambitions, love and destiny. On this journey, he goes not worried of that which is inevitable, he fights with a clear conscious of what he’s capable of and goes. No stopping and only slowing down to turn around and finish what he began, the fight against “the man”,“the banderilleros, picadores and matador”, all of this is life.

And life is there to put on a show, the friend and the foe, willing to go toe to toe with no holding back. So, continue with the attack, each “pass” becomes the past and these are the moments that allow him to give what he’s got,that validation, relevance and evidence of what he’ll be remembered for when he’s got nothing left. However, the crowd will cheer for the matador more and maybe only a few will be there for the gore, though the show must go on. “Stabs” throughout, from beginning to end, fear, pain, doubt, failures, stress and distractions.

All of these things along with the scorn of the crowd and the taunt of the capes , come to take away all that is promised by faith, still, on the path he stays, he fights anyways. The floor rumbles with great power as the battle is engaged, the bull raging and untamed, fighting for his place. He charges for what he believes, he shall not die in the ring but instead become legendary. Doing whatever it takes to give everything that he has, that which cannot be taken he moves forward until he cant. Strong, like bull, as expected but much stronger than he knew being the only choice he had. I am that, I am “Of The Bull”, Yo soy Del Toro!
