good morning. perfect conditions all around the island. 2′ and perfect on the north shore, 1′ and perfect in town. good for surfing, and good for diving. i’m out of here… have a nice day…
this past spring, i stayed over at jasmin’s place in chiba. one morning, she told me that there was a short hike right near her house. she said 5 minutes. i said ok. it took 10 minutes by car to get there, and 15 minutes of hiking uphill. that was the longest 5 minutes of my life.. haha… i was giving jasmine shit the whole way up. but it was actually a awesome view… thanks jas…

this is the next mountain i’m going to hike in japan. it’s going to take more than 5 minutes. i can’t wait….

good evening. another dark day here in hawaii. rain and clouds but the waves were going off on the north shore. i was busy getting my boards and diving gear ready for tomorrow. i feel like it’s going to be my first time surfing or diving. i probably ain’t going to be able to sleep… but i’ll try.. goodnight…[:Zzz:]

i use to be paranoid about eating street food in third world countries. for the first 10 or so years of traveling, i wouldn’t even think about trying it. now a days, i pretty much charge anything. i guess my stomach must be pretty solid now. i know a lot of people that would probably get sick eating this, what ever it was..

i think this was pork. well, that’s what the guy said. this lunch with mochi rice cost me 50 cents. and it was pretty dam good. so good that i rode my bike 40 minutes back there the next day to eat it again.

i was driving by waimanalo the other day so i stopped by my friend Abe Leonard’s nursery. Green Flamingo Nursery that is family owned. or should i say, surfer/musician family owned. mike and abe leonard surf all over and are the coolest guys you’ll ever meet. and gosh, if you want to see green nature, you should go there and check it out. feels like your in a paradise jungle or something…

got some pretty cool and trippy looking plants. if you want to do some hawaiian landscaping, the green flamingo nursery is the place to go…. thanks a lot abe for the plant… here’s the number for directions. 808-259-9200

today wa sugoi ame dayo. soto nanimo mienai desu. movie mitte
yukkuri shimasu…. wow, it’s raining so hard outside. i can’t even
see the mountain. it’s a good day to stay in bed and watch a movie.
that’s what i will do…
