Just finished watching “Up” with the kids. Good nice movies. And plus it kept the kids entertained. Then we put on Under the Tuscan Sun, and they fell right asleep. Whew, boy, long day. Helping grandma watch the kids, and also started putting cabinet knobs on my folks cabinets. They just got new counter tops, perhaps I should try taking a picture and posting them. Granite. I was going to build a coffee table out of the left overs, but they are so dang heavy. So I’ll have to go with the original plan which was to just use wood. Trying to plan it out in my head because in my head it looks fairly and looks good.

I just hope I’ll be able to turn that image in my head into a good table.

So, the other day, took a fresh breath of air, and then walked into the Blood Mobile, and donated a pint of blood. Stephanie and I donated at the same time, and I came out victorious…. Well we both successfully donated a pint of blood each, but we were racing. I finished filling the blood bag at 6 minutes 10 seconds by my count (the assistant had said it was already full though), and Stephanie was around 6 minutes 27 seconds. Long claims that when he donated earlier, he finished around 4 minutes 30 seconds or something.

Ahh well. Good day none the less. But I did get a new scar, which I’m hoping I can keep on top of and hopefully it will reduce and not be noticeable. Anyhows…

Happy Halloween.

Well I’ve been hella busy. You’d think that being in hawaii would entitle me to relaxation. Well…

It’s been a blast so far. Just took a few days to get started, the day I landed I started working on my brothers backyard. He also has been way busy, and hasn’t had time to do what he should be doing to get his house ready to rent while he’s in Korea. So I took on the task of his yard. There are no before pictures, but when I get back I’ll be sure to post a picture of the post work.

And on Sunday (May 17th) we attended his graduation where he earned his Masters degree. Had an extraordinary dinner with some friends of his, they went all out, bought us all dinner, fairly spending place, bought him presents, bought everyone leis, and did a few arts and crafts for us all. Again, pictures to come. Monday, I worked on his yard more, and some other friends of his came over and helped out, and once again, more then kind with their time and efforts. We were able to finish the yard, and were able to borrow someones truck and dump all the “rubbish” in the yard debris fill. And Today while the bro was at work, the rest of us went on a drive around the island, went to Pali Point, Kaneohe Bay, and the Polynesian Cultural Center. Ended up spending the rest of our day at PCC, but there was so much stuff to see. And the final night show was quite amazing.

I’m hoping one of these days I’ll be able to pull myself out of bed and get to a good beach location for a sunrise picture. I’m prolly only going to do that once, so I hope I pick the right morning and the right spot.

Well that’s about it for tonight.

Peace out.

Alrighty, well for all you unfortunate souls who happen to actually want to come here and find out whats going on. Tonight is the night before I head out to Hawaii. Never been there, but have had family living there for about 4 years now I think. And now that that family is getting ready to head out, I deem it to be the time to get out of the office and try to find something to enjoy in Hawaii. How lame…

But seriously, it should be a good trip. I am borrowing my friend’s Canon 30D, so I’m going to attempt to get a few excellent shots, which I will post here and on my flickr

But all the pros out there will prolly be like, wow he hauled that camera around to take some point and shoot photos. The hope is to prove them wrong and come out with some really nice pictures. I’m also going to try to do a couple video blog entries. Just short and sweet, giving people a quick heads up and a glimpse at the weather. I’ll be there until around May 26. And then it will be back to the mainland. Also keep an eye out on that about page, because I’ll be working on a family history piece, which I found out is actually quite interesting.

So until next time,

Mahalo
