In that sense, Bruce Lee was a great master, teacher, and philosopher. Just hearing his martial arts aphorisms can wake my mind from depression and misery.<br /><br />And that's only a tiny part of what he left the world... His son is very much like him in the sense that they are both wise and individualistic.

I was in school and the movie "Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story" had just come out. So sad. Despite his corny lines like "You have the biggest dick on a man that I've ever seen" <=== said in Showdown in Little Tokyo to Dolph Lundgren (personally...I would have refused to say that line...I mean, come on? Like really?) but whatever.<br /><br />Cut short before his time. Some say a family curse...hmmm.<br /><br />It must have felt strange standing over such hallowed ground.Michael Offutt, Phantom Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557969104886174930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345890055658252124.post-71623169540816529432011-08-05T08:46:01.131-04:002011-08-05T08:46:01.131-04:00Wow what inspiration.

Shame some scumbag had to go and kill him and steal it all away. And didn't Brandon die tragically too - like an accident or something, in his prime on a film set? <br /><br />Still, great to see their headstones, not likely to have had the opportunity otherwise. So many thanks Matthew. <br /><br />PS: I absolutely love that B&W pic of you with your little girl. Happy weekend. Shah.
