Dealing . . .

. . . with a bully. . .



(from http://www.gustrength.com/critical-thinking:how-to-win-an-argument)

". . . (Bruce) Lee is on a boat traveling from Hong Kong to an island where there is a hardcore martial arts tournament run by this evil rogue Shaolin monk, Han. . . Also on the boat is a New Zealand martial artist who is trying to intimidate the other passengers…his likely opponents. Like any true bully, he picks on the boat's smaller crew members. While this is going on, Lee is peacefully standing at the rail, looking out at the water. . . So the bully, after kicking a steward into the water, turns on Lee and tries to get him to fight. Which Lee ignores…further enraging the bully. But he's also a little baffled. . . He asks Lee what his style is and Lee replies that you could call it the art of fighting without fighting. . . "The art of fighting…without fighting?," replies the bully. "Show me some of it." . . Lee can see that he will have to do something to get this guy off his back so he agrees. But he suggests that they could use more room to fight and points out a nearby island with a sandy beach. ,. . "We can take this boat," says Lee. . . The bully eagerly accepts the invitation and steps into the boat while Lee unties the rope. As soon as the New Zealander is in the boat Lee begins to play out the line and sets the bully adrift behind the boat, stranding him there for the remainder of the trip. . ."

Do I Detect . . .

. . . some disconnect

. . . or some revision? . . . just one more step in the process. . .  there will be more to bring the piece to its full realization . . . (stay tuned) . . .


What do I know about happiness
Do I possess some kind of key
To things that no one else can see

Just as far back as my memory goes
Sometimes it seemed I was alone
Only my point of view and me

As I reflect
Some disconnect
Could be afflicting me
Am I just one
Under the sun
Or am I quite unique

Others speak out very easily
No fear about who may get hurt
By words so hastily dispensed

For some reason I step back away
I hesitate to be so bold as to
Presume some insight gained

As I reflect
Some disconnect
Could be afflicting me
Am I just one
Under the sun
Or am I quite unique



Unique
by OHO (Jay Graboski, David Reeve & Ray Jozwiak) with special guests Lisa Griffee (vocal) and Bruce Kovacs (French horn)

Listen . . .

. . . my vision of this tune is expanding now . . . an evolution, if you will . . .

Striving . . .

Work on 'Slough of Despond' continues . . .

(from https://www.facebook.com/ohomusic?hc_location=timeline)
". . . Bruce Kovacs at The Bratt Studio layin' down some classic(al) riffage on Ray's "Unique" and "Slough of Despond," scheduled to be on the forthcoming OHO album, "Male Pattern Radness." Been a fan of the French Horn in rock since hearing John Entwhistle blow his horn on The Who's '67 classic, "Pictures of Lily." . . . "
