what makes an awesome day: steve gave me the morning off so i could go for a fun hour surf [surfed the left shoulder, smokin da muscleboys :p ]; then, after the 10-minute break that always starts our work day when the #2 bus takes its pit stop on the way around kapiolani park, i got to work just in time for lunch! and then i don't even have to work because steve needs some stuff from homo depot before we can proceed! which is all good because we've been crankin: all the cabinets built + faced now ... just still no doors. so - score day off, always its own bonus; but THEN, when we get home after 'work' i call the american airlines advantage desk and successfully extend my stay a whole week - w/ a tighter connection + NO CHANGE FEE!!! ho, brah. awesome. think i going surf pau hana too.

i suppose this is where i should comment on my opposition to the war and the current regime but i really don't know what to say anymore - i will leave it to other, better informed, more articulate bloggers. my purpose here is to create a haven for beauty + love. welcome.
a couple more stories about movie night at don + tim's: stevie sez there were at least 35 guys there, one guy we met surfs 20-FOOT WAIMEA. he's a young, tall airport meteorologist and it was very nice talking with him! also, everyone kept asking me 'when are you leaving?' ... of course they didn't mean anything by it and i didn't even know it had really affected me that much - until i had a dream that night where my flight was leaving in 40 minutes. i was in a panic because i couldn't get the phone or computer to work so i could contact the airlines and extend my stay. i ended up breaking down + crying in the arms of a little local aunty. hawai'i is a place where you can feel good about yourself, and be happy. i no like leave!

tradewinds are back ... coolin us down on the job. winds stayed onshore (hot + stuffy from the south) all last week so surf stayed junk, which was ok so we didn't have to feel like we were missing anything while we worked: got the base cabinets built, tore out the old ones we're replacing. allowed the beer gods to unleash their wrath on us at gordon biersch on thursday, resulting in the previous loopy mo'blogs. [might be a good time to mention now that it's daylight savings time already, my entries are actually posted at hawaiian time = five hours earlier than they appear...] cozy rainy movie night up at don + tim's on saturday, watched 'infamous' - the other capote flick. winds had turned around by sunday morning, when we surfed pops. was supposed to be an iffy south bUmp comin thru and it seemed like it was - by the END of my 3-hour sesh. walking to the hula's beer bust that evening it seemed like the waves were perfect, especially at queens; surfed ok little curls at canoes this morning before work. got one good ride right when i got out - saw the wave comin and the beach boy paddling by on his stand-up board told me 'go, brother.' started on upper cabinets today - no doors yet.

aloha + happy sunday! the weekend is actually the weekend now that we started the job: thursday we rented a car (the guy at the counter talked steve into a $3 upgrade by talking about how big i was) to get / order materials and bring tools to the job site, after furikake crusted seared ahi work lunch at niko's (where we ran into alan the big demolisher in full dirty demolition gear) we took that sporty compact subaru to the north shore. then we saw alan again, all cleaned up thursday night at chikos for jake's birthday! robert cazimero stopped by and even dropped in w/ the band for one guest vocal, making for a gorgeous, otherworldly 3-part harmony. friday we got bus passes + took a #2 back to the job site at the base of diamond head to wait for our materials to be delivered from city mill. they arrived in a huge flatbed truck with a beautiful shiny new cab, one guy unloaded our perfectly stacked and wrapped stuff with a forklift and the driver got steve's signature, gave me shakas when he left. plus there's a bolohead daddy workin down the street who stood outside and watched the whole thing. liking the new job so far. so excited about the job we partied the rest of friday away. went shopping on saturday, at don quixote (nee daiei) a nice japanese aunty asked me to look thru the milk on the top shelf to find the freshest stuff, "because you're tall and i only use it in my coffee." no luck, it was all MAR 20 but we had a laugh about it and she thanked me anyway. saturday night was a combination late birthday party for steve / late birthday party for tom-A-hawk + troy (feb 6th!) / welcome home tom-A-hawk pool party out at jimmy's magical party gardens in hawaii kai. so much fun and so much aloha w/ da boys ... stevie read this in the paper during black history month: "hawai'i is a place where you can feel good about yourself, and be happy." ... good fun /schmallkine schwell surf at canoes w/ a surprisingly daring tom-A-hawk drOp this morning, tonight is the our fifth anniversary of going to da big honolulu festival parade!

wow feels so good to be back in the water ... yesterday my paddling felt nice + strong as i went out for the 1st time, this morning we made POPS by 8:30 and had a great fun sesh there - a building swell w/ some inconsistent size but some very consistent size from the nice local dudes that were out there w/ us. jimmy came out to join us + welcome me back towards the end of our sesh. he said he was at canoes thinking we left already but then he saw someone out at pops get a crazy long ride + realized dat person was so tall must be tom-A-hawk! jimmy said a few things w/ 1 of my boyz and when i asked if he knew him he said 'no, but i will...' well, steve + i took our last waves in pretty soon after that, and my 2 fave local bros took theirs in right behind us! i had a nice shower chat w/ the 'big arms + shoulders' guy - he's da 1 called the conditions 'inconsistent' ... after a foster's oilcan + a schmoke we made TheBus jus in time to hit IRIFUNE for lunch! surf nap rocked da rest of da afternoon ... mmmzzzz...
yes i'm back in hawai'i. free wireless lasted like 20 minutes - so i bought some. first full day today, got out for a swim in little waves on a sandbar in front of the royal hawaiian, then steve made us a big ahi + eggs brunch. awesome nap before a fun warmup surf sesh at canoes pau hana w/ steve + me doing choreographed slater + o'brien moves, then we got mochiko chicken at L+L - the waikiki L+L has great mochiko, nice grilled savor w/ green onions cooked into the batter - mmm ... gonna try to get out the door before 8 tomorrow morning for another surf - lucky south swell supposed to be comin in! good night!
