Going for it..
Just thought I’d dust off the cobwebs of this blog and put some updated 1’s and 0’s. I go through phases of blogging like an addict and avoiding it like the plague. I don’t know how long this phase is going to last…
Went to Maui and visited a new acquaintance and made even newer ones. I heard that Donavon Frankenreiter opened a new bar and rumor had it that he was...

Playing around with people’s voice mail...
Oh snap! Remember this song??
Eyejot.com
Coolest fucking website courtesy of LUJ. It’s basically a video mail service where you can send videos in place of emails to friends if you have a webcam (and honestly, who doesn’t have one these days?) I’ve been HOOKED like a crack baby sucking on a cocaine frosted teat. Sent almost eveyone I know a video mail whether they wanted it or not.
It’s funny how you notice your...

HNL, Good Surf, and Good Times
Currently listening to “Strip” by Adam Ant.
Went to Honolulu to see my cousin, G and help him celebrate the 21st Anniversary of his 21st birthday. I took the cheapest flight there and was greeted at the gate by one of these.
This plane was so small, I had to go outside to get something out of my pocket. Anyway, the flight was amazingly smooth due to the lack of trade winds so early...
They don't have NetFlix in Europe
I finally signed up for NetFlix after months of hesitation. So, you could understand the anticipation I had today as I made my way to my PO Box. I smiled as three brand new movies greeted me as I opened my box…
As I get in my car, I’m asked,
“What movies did you get?”
I replied, “Not sure. Open ‘em up!”
And open them up she did!! How do I send these...
Godzilla coming to town.
Ok, I haven’t put up any updates lately, but I figure since now I know of someone else who says she reads my blog, I better act like I actually try to put my thoughts out there…
Tomorrow, I have been chosen once again to be interviewed for a TV piece. This time it’s for a Japanese travel channel. It’s a half hour segment on the Island of Lanai and they want to talk to a...

In the span of three days, I've managed to:
1. Give a total of six hours of golf instruction to a wealthy Romanian family. Cha ching!
2. Miss an opportunity to surf the ever elusive Stone Shack with “Da Boyz”.
3. Drink myself into oblivion the night before the real party started.
4. Get on the 1’s and 2’s after years of retirement. Thanks, Ray!
5. Get a total of 4 hours of sleep one night.
6. Witness Sergio...

Be Careful What You Say 'Yes' to...
So, I was sitting in my office with my boss minding my own business when he asks me what I’m doing on Friday (my day off). Before I can aswer he asks me if I can do him a favor and take this local reporter out on the course to film their segment on local golf courses. I say, “Yeah, sure.” thinking it’s gonna be easy.
He then forwards me an email with all the details and I...
Ahh...I love it when Maui girls come to visit.
When Old Becomes New (Again)
Yesterday, I was putting together a second CD that I was going to send to someone. As I was looking for tracks, I loaded my old 2nd generation iPod and I Yami’d the contents. I’ll be damned if I didn’t strike gold in a mine full of aural nuggets! These are songs that I realized I still had. I love, no, LOVE rediscovering old music that I already have. First, it takes me back to...

New look, I hope you dig it…
There’s nothing worse than driving to the beach with your surfboard and seeing no waves. Today is my Saturday and for the second day in a row, I’ve gotten skunked by the wave gods. I’ve been pretty lucky lately to score some surf the last two weeks but now I’m starting to get worried.
What’s even more distressing is the fact that...
Bullets
- Broke up with my girlfriend yesterday and you know what? That was easier than I thought…it’s too soon for me to get back on that horse anyway. She took it like a champ and agreed. You know how you avoid the dentist because you’re scared that damned root canal is gonna hurt so bad and then you sack up and go anyway only to figure out that novocaine is your friend? That’s...
K.I.M.
So, now I’m over the Baron thing and I’ma keep it movin’. This weekend was all time.. I spent pretty much all day Friday drinking the devil’s juice. And although I broke the cardinal rule of using Don Julio for margaritas, they tasted sofa king good!! They had this little shindig at Dole Park—pretty much the center of town—that was pretty cool. I was even...
BD and the Bathroom Lights.
So, I shouldn’t be so upset about the Baron Davis thing, but it’s hit me kinda hard. I found out after reading my cousin’s blog. After several frantic phone calls of “wtf!?” to the Yay, it was confirmed and I started to mourn.
On a lighter note, since I have to pay utilities now, I’ve been very conscious of what I leave on in the apartment, but for some reason,...

Surfing Lana'i
I finally got to surf some waves these last weeks. It sucks because the only spot that won’t need a 4x4 won’t work unless a south swell is in the water so it’s kinda hit and miss. Good thing that summer is full of south swells though. Anyway, my first couple trips out, I kinda kept to myself and tried not to bother the locs, but then they started talking to me. Usually in Cali,...

I opened up a band account on myspace to upload some songs I’ve recorded. More songs are in the works in the near future. It’s not like I’m showcasing these tracks but it’s as close as I’m going to get to an audience so I figure, “WTF?” right?

Highlights of the week
This has been a pretty eventful first week on the island. So far I have experienced: - walking through a downpour on the way to get something to eat (it was dry as I left the house) - swimming in Manele Bay in full commando gear - seeing John Mayer’s name on the arrivals list of the hotel (never saw him) - going out to the local bar only to get sandwiched on the danceloor by the other pro...
