Bruce Lee, what can i say about the man? I met him 4 years ago and we didnt really hit it off until 2 years earlier. I still remember the first time he joined Pedo Da and me for one of our "Terminal Discussions" he was the shy guy who kept to himself and i wasn't really sure whether he would fit in to our little club. But man was i wrong, we ended up unleashing the creative tiger in Bruce. He was the essential third wheel in the rickety rickshwaw that was TTK. He gave the group direction and at times the brakes that were needed to avoid the sure path of self destruction that we were on.
Bruce was a man of secrets, of intrigue and shadow play. He was also a writer, sportsman and intellectual, a man of many talents who did not share them with the world. He could have joined the secret service or been a writer, sportsman or anything he put his mind to. Such was his talent.
The phrase "Jack of all trades, master of none" would aptly describe him. Bruce knew something about everything, a man of principle he never divulged secrets and took them to his grave, an avid reader, blogger, trusted friend and confidante, there was no one like Bruce. A man of great potential who chose to keep it all under wraps.
Bruce was also a romantic at heart, though my doubt is he didn't know it himself. Always one to sacrifice love for friendship, he never made a move to get the women he loved. Until his last breath, he denied that he'd ever loved only lusted, though the truth was quite the opposite. Bruce yearned for that someone who would make him complete, a partner male or female (most likely Pedo da) who would match him, be the Yin for his Yang. He was also built like his namesake Bruce Lee. A man of steel with a fist of fury, though the fury was rarely witnessed; considering he was the quintesential 'nice guy'. Bruce will be sorely missed, His contributions to our "Terminal discussions" cannot be measured, he was a man like no other.
