woke up thursday morning hung over from the fujiya + miyagi / peter bjorn + john show @ 1st ave the night before.   stayed in bed even after the coffee was brewed, finished reading 'tapping the source' ... by the time i got out of bed the book's noir mood seeped into my psyche, followed me around the streets of south minneapolis, propelled me in steve's truck as i went to our old diner for breakfast, bought a manual push mower at nicollet hardware.   thinking about last night's party - fujiya + miyagi got me boogyin!, the neighborhood - dan + kathy are still working the counter at 'our kitchen'! couldn't tell if they recognized this big surfer boy or not as i ate my 2 eggs toast + hashbrowns w/ tabasco.   thinking about how much i've grown away from the minneapolis and the tom-A-hawk of 10 years ago, i experienced the unmistakable kem nunn-esque pull of wondering: this feeling, is this what it feels like to be losing myself - or finding myself?   i'd been digging dandelions for the last three days, and thursday, my day off, with temps in the 80's - spring turned into summer and it was time to mow.

revolting queers party at the organ house [< hey look it's tom-A-hawk!] a couple weekends ago.   was a scene: plenty of minneapolis art school scenesters, all riding their skinny road bikes, rows and rows of them all locked together, like amsterdam.   saw THREE great bands between 11-1: reverse church, a band in the amityville horror room in the basement - maybe 1st communion afterparty? teen eagle? then mute era back up in the living room - tha kids were moshing!   there was crowd surfing!   didn't get right into the pit because i was like at least 1.5 times as big as anyone in there, so i guarded the perimeter, stomping away, sometimes holding up the whole crowd from falling over all by myself.   missed gay beast cuz i had to be up early for work.

last weekend was high spring with trees covered in nothing but blossoms, lilac liqueur filling the air for the mayday parade.   had kim over for pasta party dinner saturday night, had kung over sunday morning for a pre-parade brunch w/ mimosas (1/2 italian bubbly, 1/2 fresh-squeezed oj, w/ a splash of pomegranate cherry mmm ...) and a frittata.   mayday pics up on my flickr...

checkin out the sunny lunch hour crowd from dunn's nicollet mall ... sending good vibes out to mr. dusty, who is probably right now crossing from the north american coast out over the vast pacific.  i talked him into buying one of those cheap tickets to honolulu to stay with steve at the condo for 10 days.  (i almost went too but i really can't afford it yet - i'm on the last day of a 12-day work marathon right now.)  so he gets there on mayday, which is lei day in hawai'i, and will be there for boy's day (may 5), and if that isn't perfect enough, looks like the first south swell of the summer, which i believe is known as the "mother's day swell," is rolling into waikiki as we speak.  almost four years after buying the condo, one of our friends is finally going to visit ... e hele holoholo hawa'i kane!

[written on sunday 4/22, just getting around to posting it today - i'm in the middle of a 13-day work marathon...]

following the spirit of kdogg's advice on my myspace comments ... the radio k top 7 is rockin my solo sunday brunch. hearing all kinds of early-90's sounds in 2day's hitz: belly, velocity girl; and, literally, low. but the real music for channeling spring magic is animal collective and their side project panda bear.

last saturday at work mary the maintenance lady came to the membership desk to show a polaroid she had taken recently of a wild turkey that had wandered into her yard in minneapolis' gritty, urban phillips neighborhood.  this did not prevent kung and i from being surprised that monday - the day of the virginia tech shootings - to see a tall, grim-reaperesque turkey trotting nonchalantly through the grounds in front of mctc on hennepin avenue downtown.  in all our years in the twin cities neither mary, nor kung, nor i had ever heard of wild turkeys in the urban core.  the following days found me surprisingly affected by the shock of monday's news, and i KNOW i know i know that this is only a coincidence, but that knowledge did not prevent a chill from going down my spine when i learned that virginia tech's mascot is a turkey.

From: kdogg > greetings from eastbay !!
e komo mai spring!  finally hit yesterday w/ temps in the high 60's, literal CROWDS of people on the trails around lake calhoun when i walked down there w/ seger, who is so very happy.  the feeling of lightness and elation grew today as i dusted + busted out my bike, got my taxes in the mail and cruized the DUDES in uptown.  took seger back to the sparkling lake where we both dipped our feet in the clear, cold water.  uptown hipsters were out in force on alt bikes, wispy mohawks and the like fluttering in the breeze of motion, wan hair finally breathing free after a cold season of confinement under quirky caps.  today is the day steve would usually be home from hawai'i to do his taxes, but he and his tax guy figured out a way to do them over the phone to allow him to stay and keep working on that awesome remodel job - so he can make some money to pay taxes on next year.  so we're sailing into a new era of tom-A-hawk solo.  spring has also brought renewed pangs of missing kdogg, but lo + behold i return from the lake to find a fresh spring mix from kdig hisself sprouting out of my mailbox!  [incl bole 2 harlem, the ponys, ghostland observatory, homeliss derelix, amadou + mariam, and illinois ... thanx K!!!]  as the world thaws magic is flowing, the bunny has returned to the garden and i am even somewhat overwhelmed by it all.  to celebrate and channel the mana, the traditional tax day party will go ahead in stevie + kdogg's honor: this time w/ kung + his boyz @ an open bar party tonite @ temple.  c u there!

a belated happy easter story for you: there’s a bunny that’s been hanging out in our garden; regularly, and in the same spot.  was very eastery this weekend until i forgot about it and took one bigboy tom-A-hawk hOp, from the last step on the deck to the sidewalk in the backyard while i was sayin goodbye after a little party w/ dustin on saturday - and scared it away.  was hoppin, i mean hopin it would come back but i never saw it again, until i kicked a lawnchair off the deck this morning (i had my reasons) and scared it away again.  tom-A-hawk!  but it didn’t run all the way out of the yard this time, it stayed and i think gave me a little attitude even.  which i believe is progress. [easter sunday i kept my phone off, played guitar, did qi gong + caught up w/ my fambly on da landline.  then i went to kung's for drunken ham leftovers.]

whoa i’m still hangin on to hawaiian time bigtime + i’ve been back for a almost a week.  sleeping til noon - noon-thirty.  tried my hardest to go to sleep at a reasonable hour last night (11:00) and get up at a more respectable local hour this morning - i did better but i still slept until 10:30.  and since it’s been kind of a nonstop party since i got back last wednesday i’m trying my hardest to stay in tonight - it’s freezing rain out there!  it’s tuesday!  but it IS $1 beer night at the eagle...

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!

in the three weeks since i've been back in minneapolis i have adapted to winter life, learning to tolerate the coldest weather in three years by constructing an elaborate romantic metaphor: i have transformed a domestic situation that could have easily become a breeding ground for cabin fever into a scenario that involves being snowed-in at a ski lodge, where i stock up on supplies, cook at home, make cocoa and snuggle with my rescue dog for warmth at night. all while enjoying the luxury of being able to hike a couple minutes to the nearby village to buy more groceries, rent 'six feet under' dvds and use the free wireless as i curl up with baby by the firepit at the chalet, i mean coffee shop.

this shameless self-delusion has gone along nicely with the general excess grandiosity of aquarian birthday season (mine - and my mom's, and james dean's ! - is on thursday ... thanks stevie for the bday care package* from hawai'i!). i've actually been working in the occasional cab ride on my few forays out into the frozen world - my blacked-out date harassed chris r at the hot p-cons / hockey night show on friday; a little soiree at the caterpillar with kimberland, and her latest fave dj bach, got me out of the house after the super bowl sunday night, to meet up w/ bday bro jcat before he jetted back to his new home in seattle. but now there are actual concrete plans being made to bring tom-A-hawk back to the islands, an urgent airlift to employ me on another solid hawaiian custom cabinet job with steve, and to spare me from at least one more month of what truly is a cold and brutal way to live. it's much easier to deal with winter when you have an escape plan - otherwise i swear my fun little winter daydream could develop into a serious "the shining"-style psychosis.

but i'm not there yet. i'm taking my supplements and i'm on my tonic, i woke to very pretty, delusion-reinforcing snow falling this morning, which has tapered off and i should go shovel now. my mystery neighbor's free wireless has been down for days, so i'll go to the chalet, i mean coffee shop, to post this later.

[*stevie's care package included the new freesurf, including an ad that made tom-A-hawk realize eddie rothman is his big new surf stud ... buttons sez he "literally chained me to a pole in his house for two weeks" ... yea Daddy!]
