Bruce Lee, made practical

Hi there... if you regularly read this blog, then here's more of the same: a random video that I made.

If you're here because of something to do with Blogher (either you saw that this post was honored as one of Blogher's Voices of the Year in the Life category, or you met me at the conference in 4 days - yes I am talking about the past in the future kind of like that long time ago in a galaxy far far away stuff - and remembered the URL of my blog even though I didn't give you a business card - but it's not because you weren't worthy, it's because I didn't have any made - and that's not because I think I'm so popular that you should know me by sight - it's because I'm Asian and is it too much to ask that you be able to discern ONE Asian guy out of, what, 3 Asian dad bloggers in the world? - no, that was unfair to put you on the defensive, I'm simply lazy), I figured I should have a post up that's not over a month old. Also, I felt it should be a post that represents me.

So this is the best I could do. I spoofed my hero, Bruce Lee. To spoof is to love.

You must remember to only use this power for good! I suppose opening doors, tidying up and taking out the garbage are good things. Personally, busting out of my own grave comes to mind too... Kill Bill style, not zombie style.

You really did pick the most awesomely blissfully lethal thumnail you possibly could have for that. You need to get Alli to give you THAT channel. #uggashockauggaugga

My boys loved your video and the little one wants to know who Bruce Lee is. #ParentingFAIL

Powerful.

Now I know whom to AVOID at BlogHer'11. I frighten easily.

Great... So I went out and tried to move my garbage can just like you... the neighbors called the cops and I have bloody knuckles. Thanks a lot Busy dad.

The Awesome. Wish I could come to BlogHer. Tell them to hold it in Seattle or Portland next year and I'm there! ;)

Just watched this with my 4 yo and he said "heh. he just said I Love You to his computer." You are too funny!

I will be very careful shaking your hand if I run into you at BlogHer. Although had I learned to master the one inch punch I might not have had to switch from Windows to Mac.

August 2, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterPJ Mullen

Holy shit. Seriously, I clapped when you punched that can all the way to the curb. And then cried when I thought of the neighbors watching you from behind curtains.

Blog. More. Often.

Don't make me use the one inch punch on yo ass.

Ha ha.
I love this! Particularly the one inch punch tidying!

Hi Jim,

P&G's Family Movie Night initiative has some exciting news that may be of interest to you and your readers. Would you be interested in finding out more?

Thanks,
Stephanie Ramirez, stephanie.ramirez@mslgroup.com

Jim - It never dawned on me that you are Asian. Now I know, undeniably so. Nice cheesy movie. Fury is a natural!

BusyDad! Have you seen Ip Man? Kind of a segue from Bruce Lee, but he still is the guy who taught Bruce his stuff. We just chanced upon Ip Man I on Netflix's livestream movie list and are hooked! So this weekend we're watching both I and II on Blu-ray =) I'd like to know what you think - crazy moves that don't seem CGI'd.

Hi to the fam ~ plus huge sloppy kisses to Lessi!
