Hawaii Powerless…

227


this mornings honolulu advertiser newspaper read “POWERLESS”…. yeah, we were powerless, and pretty much helpless for 12 hours last night. i slept really good and when i woke up, everything was back to normal. then i was thinking about something. what if bali, or LA, or the philippines, or thailand went powerless for 12 hours? looting? stealing? violence? raping? gosh, i could imagine. lucky we live in hawaii, everybody just went home and to sleep. that’s the part i love about hawaii. the aloha spirit….

it was pretty freaky seeing waikiki all black. imagine the tourist stuck in their rooms? they couldn’t eat? if i was sitting in my hotel room in another country and everything just went black, i’d freak. then when i get out of my hotel and see the whole island black, i’d freak out more. i was kind of freaking and i live here. hawaiian electric company should give the tourists a free dinner coupon or something. or at least, say sorry…

before the lights went out, i was eating my awesome shirasu salad. it tasted good in the light, and tasted good in the dark…

DHLH means diamond head light house. that’s where i surfed this morning. nobody was out when i paddled out and by the time i went in, 6 guys came out. the waves were fun if you got the right one. i like light house on windy days because you have to work for your wave….

and last, check out this guy getting ready to punch the guy lying on the mat. that’s mixed martial arts fighing or MMA. it’s amazing how far this sport has come. bigger than boxing. who’d ever thought…
