Skip Ellsworth in new Bruce Lee biography

[Ellsworth]

One thing I learned by moving this thread into the members area for the last 4 months: it was never de-indexed from google.

The first few posts on page one were still indexed the whole time, but for four months this thread was a dead link in the SERPs. As soon as the thread was back on the public side, the dead SERP links worked again. It was never crawled in such a way that the dead content were removed from google's results.

Assumption: the new content on this thread, starting 5/12/24, would not have been indexed in the last 4 months -- because the first few posts were not de-indexed as non-active / dead links.

But about this specific issue, not having a page de-indexed for being a dead link... I realize it's complicated. The assumption about the new content now being indexed, is just an assumption. The future unfolds slowly (I thought that phrase up, then googled it. Sure enough other's have used it. #TheProblemWithProvingOriginality).

Why Saint Patrick's Day is a tough holiday, for me.

• First I learned that the original color was blue.
• Then I learned that there were two men named Saint Patrick, or at least... two priest in Ireland named Patrick, before there was any Saint. I studied the history and implications of that*.
• Then I traced this issue straight to ancient Roman letters and speeches.

But I will still wish everyone a happy St. Patrick's day this year, as I share with them about the color blue and the tale of two priests in Ireland named Patrick.

*I tried to understand the man, who developed a theory that would claim to prove there's an issue with praying to Saint Patrick, unless you can specify which Patrick.

Figure out the first joke in this George Carlin routine, and you'll learn a whole lot of history. You'll also learn about culture(s), society large cohort, societies small cohorts, hierarchy, interpersonal relationships, the military, industry, economics, the aging arc, et cetera.

Fully explore the first joke.

Very deliberately I ignore the release date 1988 (no hate). It's just a date, but the mid to late 1980's is indeed the reference / starting point for the historical exploration.

Like the date of this show https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHjB6cbgG10 I would post that because it's a great version of the song, no other reason (but notice the bell, and the occupation of Ian MacKaye's parents / grandparents. It's interesting to consider the influences).

Here's a tip of the iceberg for that Carlin joke

This post is not necessarily about my father per se. His nickname was Skipper / Skip from at least the time he was a toddler.

I think about butt and pass and the LHBA a fair amount.

And lately I have thought a lot about these two other schools / organizations / systems.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jun_Fan_Jeet_Kune_Do*

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specia...tionary_System*

I think about many others schools / organizations / systems too (including Ian McKaye's label Dischord), but lately those three have been at the top of my list. And of the three, I'll probably emulate Ian Mckaye, with some LHBA moving forward (or vice versa).

Edited to add:

There is one way I will seek to emulate Bruce, and it has to do with the tension between his general approach and the effort to 'formalize' his fighting style. #complicated #Not really philosophy so much as a logic trap.
I myself once considered creating Butt and Pass 'best practices' aka Building Codes. I explored the idea of LHBA self-developed and self-published log home construction codes that prohibit / allow specific actions / practices (obviously with no ability to enforce). That is far different than what we have done for decades, offer a class that covers 'general concepts.' #StillContemplating, learning, growing

*I have never been a practitioner / student of Gung Fu or SCARS. I study the topics, I consider the organizational models / business models and philosophical approaches.

Why I tend to question a lot of the information about Bruce Lee and his early students:

Search: "James DeMile" "Psychologist"

And consider how these two statements differ:

• Jesse Glover was a psychology major.
• Jesse Glover had a degree in psychology.

Happy Saint Patrick's day!

If Quentin Jerome Tarantino wrote The Legends of King Arthur, then the following might be true.

It's the knowledge, experience and education of the viewer reader that unfolds the possible interpretations of a work. How a work is understood is dependent upon the viewer's reader's perspective, because a good author / creator just offers opportunities for interpretations and possible applied meanings.

• Books of Arthurian legend written around 1100 AD to 1200 AD, books about the Matters of Britain.
• The quenching of steel swords was a mystical seeming art of various techniques, at the start of a population boom within a constrained space, and time period of improving technology.
• 'Tis a Lady of the Lake who bestows the magic sword named Excalibur, up from _________ waters.

Forged swords and new technology, that might have seemed like magic on the battle field -- Forged swords created by new processes, that to the untrained would also seem like magic. And perhaps through symbolism, or through allusion, portrayed in King Arthur's legends by the Author, as being a gift from a fairy Lady of the Lake to a noble man. From the water of life, comes the bringer of death. That could be an expression of nature's duality.

It was interesting for this viewer to see a glimpse of his own father in Quentin's movie Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, in the controversial scene that so effectively featured Bruce Lee.

I could be wrong / I could be right, in totality or partially, about what I write.
