so long, farewell...

i no longer have da truck; it was good while it lasted.

Sagittarius - August 10, 2009

You can expect to be highly voluble today, dear Sagittarius! No one will dare contradict you or insinuate that you've taken your ideas from others! You have the potential to get really angry. Rather than saying things you might later regret, write down your thoughts in a diary. And if you do feel the need to make a speech, do it in public.

MSN Astrology

...hmm...


>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


stayed at work longer than i thought i would, but it was all good. li was bummed to stay because her boyfriend had cooked her some dinner which was waiting at home...but i on the other hand had nothing to get home to except olive, and i had already spent all day with her...so i took my time eating my dinner of french fries in the party room and talking story with some cruise customers.
topic of converstaion: the ladder theory.
...it sort of does really make sense...


coming home and seeing my second parking stall where the old ranger had been sitting for so long empty was a little sad. even though it's closer than the spot i park the bug, i cannot bring myself to park there; it's just not right. the bug has been in, and will stay in stall number sixteen.

8.9.09

Sagittarius - August 9, 2009

The day ahead should be excellent, dear Sagittarius. For the past several days, you've been searching for a meaning in what befalls you in life. There have been changes in your chief occupation, new relationships, bursting ambitions... Today, you can let all of that soul searching go. Instead, you're likely to whip up a huge mixture of the whole experience and be grateful for the thrilling life you are leading right now!

MSN Astrology

... :)

click: we've got tonight. ...yes, i've been listening to bog seger. this would be a good drunken karaoke song...for somewhere like napa's at 3 a.m.

woke up and climbed koko head with angie-pants and after rode on the banana at my day job to cool down. it was funnnnnnn. also found fifty cents atop the mountain. basically i got paid to work out. cheee heeeee.

click: she woke me up with a bang bang.

i <3 postcards...(VIII)

disney land, from lala!



canada, from mama!

i spy...

with my little eye...someone named di.
do you see me?

*correction

in the post about my little brother, rob, i said that he was turning fourteen. he is actually fifteen.
my bad. (it doesn't mean i don't love you)

it's actually saturday. / あたまがいたい。

somehow fridays often slip away without me even getting a chance to hit 'new post' and say something. like today (i mean, "yesterday".)

(fri)day recap:
worked day job and was glad to see my main man dougie was back to driving. although it had only been a month he'd been gone, it seemed like f o r e v e r.
s.b.'s hair is getting long, other than that, nothing else i can tell has changed around the marina.
got the bug back. it feels nice to drive it again. :)
worked my night job. it was the first friday night i've worked in f o r e v e r. made decent money, got off decently early.
woodblock update. (tbc...)

almost forgot, got a huge bump on my forehead. right when i got to work (night job) and was changing in the bathroom, i whacked my head on the door handle. it seriously hurt, and then my boss poked it, and it hurt some more. later on in the night my coworkers told me it looked like it was getting bigger. right now it is about the size of a quarter. i wonder if it will turn blue/purple. i really hope not because i have to work for the next three days.


(...continued from above)
i'm going to go ahead and give myself a half a tally mark for the woodblock. saw cutlass after work, he asked me to hang out at his place. i declined. he asked for a kiss. i thought, why not? technically it's only a half because i was sitting inside my car and he was standing outside my window.
just like david after the dentist: "i didn't feel anything".


i was glad to get a couple songs i haven't heard from j.rizzle. ;)
click: be be your love.
click: falling for you.

my choice. this song is for you. (because it's by damien rice and you like damien rice, of course.)
click: rootless tree.


Sagittarius - August 8, 2009

You should find that the adventurous side of you has the support of your emotions, dear Sagittarius. These two parts of your spirit are working in harmony to help you stretch well beyond your limits. Push forward into new realms and ask questions when you don't understand something. This is the only way that you will learn, develop, and grow mentally and emotionally. Don't assume that learning stops as soon as you get out of school.

MSN Astrology

...agreed.


japanese phrase of the day:
my head hurts.
atama ga itai.

saved by the bell:
so i'm usually up in the week hours of the morning and sometimes saved by the bell is on. i've been watching the show since i was a kid, i even used to have saved by the bell trading cards. omg.
anyways, i could have sworn i'd seen them all...until the other night when i tuned in mid-episode and saw "the gang" in a band. i had never seen an episode where they were all in a band! of course zack was the star of the show...he eventually became famous and sold out...and then he woke up. it was all a dream.
hmph.


>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

while shopping at savers with o.d. this morning i scored some oober amazing t's in the little boys section; two of which that are going stait to top five t-collection: a baby gerber shirt and a green old-school adidas shirt. l o v e them. surprisingly i did not get one item that was a knick-knack, dish or anything of that nature; just t-shirts today.


theres a thrift store on campus...it's only open like two days a week. i wonder if i can get a job there...


click: dammit. well, i guess this is growing up.


>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


work: was a little slow, but it was nice to take it easy and still make decent money. also got caked in the face by a coworker. it was pretty funny.

i <3 postcards...(VII)

san fran, from os.



rhode island, from hs tomodachi



cali, from p.p.

love trees.

me and b.rice came across these two trees that intertwined on the hawaii loa ridge hike.
we called them the love trees and one has a "D" carved in it.
oh yah, and a fungus is also growing between them. hahaha.

Photos by: b.rice.



今日。i like hike.

Sagittarius - August 6, 2009

Today is one of those days in which prosperity is much closer than you think, dear Sagittarius. You will find what you are seeking, but it is up to you to take the first step toward going after it. More than likely, you are looking for solid answers to your deep and probing questions. Don't let your inquisitive mind rest until you find the answers that ring true for you.

MSN Astrology

...exactly.

getting ready to hike hawaii loa ridge...woo woo.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


felt like i got quite a good work out on today's hike. i was feeling pretty tired...boosing it up last night did not help, i'm sure. from this hike you can see pretty much all the way from waimanalo to waikiki. we made it up into the clouds, but it was still pretty clear for sight seeing. ate a couple berries (the last two on the mountain i believe), listened to the trees talk, and just enjoyed being out in nature.
don't really have any pictures of the view...but seriously pictures don't do the justice anyway, you have to just go.


b.rice thought i was quoting something earl said from "my name is earl" but i was actually just speaking my own thoughts. great, me and earl sound alike.


click: call me on your way back home.

so i just heard male singing outside my window... it seemed to last for a bit so thought it was probably somebody coming to seranade me (just kidding), but no, it was two boys walking, singing together. hahahahahaha.

this kid is kind of annoying, but pretty funny as well. he's actually kind of famous now and you can even buy his shirts at hot topic.
click: fred.

good 'ol sis told me about this video.
red head kids crack me up. i'm takin' pointers from this kid...
click: kid dances to apple bottom jeans.


looks like i will be working for the school news paper this semester. i have to turn in a certain amount of articles, photographs, etc. nothing guarenteed to be published...but hoepfully at least something makes it.
os thinks i should do a dating column. i agree.


Sagittarius - August 5, 2009

You should find that you have an extra amount of creative energy at this time, dear Sagittarius, and you should do what you can to make this force work for you. There is a time and space for everything, and now is the time to work together with your higher self to channel some of the artist within you. Don't let your self-doubt keep you from using the creative force that is brewing inside you.

MSN Astrology

...hopefully some creative juice for writing articles. which i am supposed to start now. ideas, ideas, ideas...

treterous trails on tuesday.

hiked up kuliouou today with neesh. it was amazing. from the top of the hike you can see all the way from diamond head to kaneohe side: beautiful.
being active feels good. i'm keeping my fingers crossed to stay on a decent work-out streak.

in comparison to the stairway to heaven this hike was more cruise in the sense that you were not fearing for your life...but at the same time it was harder becaus you were not able to use your arms to help you climb, as well as the uneven, rocky terrain. still both were great in their own ways.

it was funny that i was wearing a camoflauge shirt in the woods.

talk about auto-tech.

back in high school me and the cecenator used to listen to the all-american rejects a lot in my car, usually when we sat in my car all period during auto-tech.
we would even do that clap/knee-slapping dance from greece along with this song (it seriously somehow matches perfectly).
anyway, this is the song.
click: why worry.

so anyway, as music always does to one, it got me thinking about the old days and auto-tech. basically we didn't do shit in that class. and we got "a"'s. pretty much we cleaned my car everyday, once we changed my front bumper, we drove around during class after we told our teacher we needed to pick up car stuff from the gas station, and i think once we drove to the middle school to jump a teacher's car that had a dead battery. oh yah, one time we also got caught tanning outside behind my car during class. haha.
we also had another friend of ours in the our class, and she actually did shit. she was always in the junked car area taking off this or that, or working on her and her boyfriends car, or offering to help people. and she got a "b". that's messed up, desho?
well, auto-tech was definitely one of my favorite classes of high school.
and i miss the cecenator and my hachi-broku.and as for j.bell, i miss her too. she lives here, but we haven't seen each other in f o r e v e r.

this is the three of us dressed up in crazy dresses taking purikura (japanese sticker pictures). i don't remember exactly what happened but somehow we all started tripping on each other's dresses and falling down. the picture took was taken mid trio-tumble.
(me, j.bell, cecenator)

it's freakin' monday.

i have no idea why i named this post that. but it did make me ctms (chuckle to myself).


Sagittarius - August 3, 2009

This is going to be a good moment to go look elsewhere, dear Sagittarius. You should do just as the artist does when he has worked on a painting for too long. That is, take a step back. You need to see some people, travel, go to the theater, and, in general, clear your head. This is never easy for you. But don't hesitate. You will realize afterward that it was the best thing for you to do.

MSN Astrology

...*sigh...


obviously me and this song have a connection. i think this is the third time posting it, but it's always a different version, and this one is dope!
so click: you will love this song. (because you will love this song)

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

finally hung out with my girls after work today. geezus, i missed them. :)


work wasn't bad neither, except for the fact that i got to work early...and then realized i forgot my work pants at home. luckly, spacy let me borrow hers, but they were a little big and looked pretty gangsta, 'twas funny.

i saw and heard the singing jogger the other day when i was driving. young, local guy, decent looking and singing...that's pretty much it.

if you wanna know...

the current moon phase, click: here.

found: in my wallet.



i don't really know what it says after the date...??

Sagittarius - August 2, 2009

You are apt to be spurred into action by strong forces today, dear Sagittarius, that don't want you to take a break by any means. Keep in mind that the more you resist, the more you will be pushed and pulled by outside sources. If you find yourself in a bind, take a deep breath and calm yourself. Act from a point of neutrality instead of a point of anger or defensiveness.

MSN Astrology

...

work: again, not bad. actually, i may even go as far to say it was good. good money, not any whack customers, eh, what can i say?


haven't been sleeping much the past few days... instead i've just always been doing something. (which is a good thing, i feel.) for instance, today i didn't get in my usual nap between the beach, a million people rolling through and work, however, i felt in a better mood today than i usually do when i do get a nap in.
i've also been hanging out with a lot of random people. i mean, i know them, but they're just not people i usually cruise with. it's nice to get to know different people, see knew places and do new things.
today i went to the beach in town (kapiolani park). seriously, i never go there. it makes no sense for me to go there: it's far, crowded and full of tourists. but today, since my friend want to go to that specific beach, we went.
of course i'm still going to prefer pretty much any other beaches than of those over in waikiki, but it was an experience; i'm glad i went.
i do miss my honey girls though...haven't seen them in too long.

aug 1.

ah, another month has come and gone. seriously, where did it go?

today's savers trip:
found a sambrero. :)
learned that you are allowed to bring dogs to savers as long as they stay in the cart. ...i forgot to ask about cats though :( olive does have a small carrier...hm...possibilities..


i turned in the bug to get the carbs cleaned up and my dear p.p. is letting me use her car while she's outy of townie. it is so nice driving in a comfortable, reliable, a.c.'d, turn-on-and-go car... if only i could have both.
p.s. dear truck: please feel free to drive yourself off a cliff. domo.

chotto dake.
