Don't Mess With Bruce
So what if you can do 1, 2, 3, or 4 things better than sombody else. That doesn't make you better than them. So what if you can dunk a basketball over Bruce Lee, the basketball going through the hoop, the basketball hitting Bruce Lee's face, Bruce Lee slamming into the floor and your fat ass landing on top of him, crushing him against a cameraman. Who cares that you just b-otched Bruce Lee in the red paint in front of thousands and thousands, and on the telly no less. Does that make you better than him? Hell no it doesn't!! Try messing with him and his family in an awful manner, or picking a fight with him in a steel cage match. Then we'll see what happens. He'll karate chop your crying place to siberia and send your butt cheeks packing to your mamma's.
Of course, that scenario all depends on it happening before July 20, 1973, because that's the day Bruce Lee passed away, effectively guaranteeing that he wouldn't kung fu your ass to smithereens. But anyway, you get the picture. Just because you can do a few things better than someone else doesn't mean they can't woop your fanny.

| Bruce Lee opening a can of whoop ass. |
So the moral of the story is... Don't mess around with Bruce. Hell, If I were you I wouldn't even mess around with anyone named Bruce, and that includes Bruce Springsteen (after all, he has bandmates with large instruments), Bruce Almighty (i.e. the part-time God), or Bruce Willis (unless you wanna hear that yippie-kai-ay Mo-Fo line after he just tore you a new A-hole and sent you to the guy with red horns and tail. Oh, and let's not forget Bruce Wayne. Unless you like being tackled by a guy who plays dress up.
And if I've forgotten any Bruces, real or imaginary, let me know.

Child Bride Wins Visa Lottery For America. Escapes Arranged Marriage.
"Bengali Girls Don't" is the uncensored story of the author's life, from being born in a small village in Bangladesh, surviving Bangladesh's liberation war, to winning the visa lottery for America after a forced marriage at 15. Luky's story is a visceral look at what Bengali life was like her, and it doesn't shy away from the terrors of genocide, the atrocities that people commit against each other, and the horror of living a life not of your own choosing.
It's an unforgettable story about heartache and irony. About broken dreams. And how the life we choose is not always the life that chooses us."It's like 'The Namesake' on steroids," Sherman says. "Or Cinderella in reverse."

From the Bengali Girls Don't Fanpage:
Born in a remote village during her country's liberation war, a Bangladeshi girl moves to England with her parents and struggles for freedom and identity while growing up in a mixed neighborhood. Caught between the world of her white friends and that of her parents, she scraps her Muslim gear for blue jeans and runs away with her boyfriend.
But when her father tracks her down and finds her, he tricks her into going to Bangladesh so that he can marry her off.
In Bangladesh, she is faced with a choice: get married or never go home.
It's an unforgettable story about heartache and irony. About broken dreams. And how the life we choose is not always the life that chooses us.

Update on Book Signing at Midtown Sundries
On Friday October 7th, I went to Midtown Sundries in St. Petersburg, Florida to do a book signing for my book, Bengali Girls Don't. I met some great people, sold some books, had pictures taken with fans, and signed my John Hancock a few times with a green ink-colored pen (yes, I was trying to be different, okay?). Oh, and I did mention there was free wine, right? Yes, that's right, free wine! Of which I had three glasses. :) Along with a chicken Caesar salad, courtesy Midtown Sundries. Thank-you guys!
