i went to kaimuki dry goods today to buy thread and a needle. i’m sewing something for my boat. some people say sewing is relaxing. i don’t think so. i’d rather be surfing… oh, these dolls were sitting on the counter in the store. what were these called again? humpy dumpy???

i wanted to thank kazu-san from aloha street for this cool calendar. it’s called “The Heart of Hawaii” and has some of the most amazing photos in there. it also shows american as well as japan holidays… thanks kazu-san…. let’s go dinner again. and don’t forget: BONJOVI COMING SOON….

i was cleaning up today and came across a big stack of magazines and DVD’s. surf1st, surfing world, glide, surfing life, all from japan. anybody want them? just give me an email and it’s yours. oh, i ain’t shipping them so you have to meet me somewhere to pick them up….

and last, it’s been about 8 months or so since i seen the next 5 day forecast looking like this. “Lucky you live in Hawaii”[:?????$B!x(B???:]

Keep the Earth Clean….

good morning. 7:30 am on this cold saturday morning. waves came up on the north shore but kind of junky conditions. town is flat. heard sandy beach is 3′. i’m going surfing somewhere today. feel like riding a medium sized board and just ride the waves. oh, does anybody know where i can get a christmas tree? or can i come cut the top part off yours? i just need a small one.. haha… it sucks not waking up to that christmas tree smell… merry christmas!!!

i was just checking out GO-NAMINORI.COM and seen this poster for the new topics. this guy caught my eye because i could have swore i’ve seen him before…. where? i just couldn’t figure it out. but after a while, it clicked….

i meet spinna b-ill at the TSSC users contest last year in shikoku. that’s him on the far right. he came to the barbecue and played live. it’s amazing after all the jacksan i had, i could remember… haha..
**japan is kind of different than hawaii. you bump into famous local people here in hawaii and it’s pretty much nothing. it’s an everyday thing. in japan, it’s different. if there is a famous person around, they will get mobbed by people wanting to take their photo or try to get an autograph. i don’t know who is who in japan because i don’t watch tv, or read magazines. so if a famous person walked by me, i wouldn’t even know.
oh wait!! i take that back. there are a couple of japanese famous people i know from a long time ago when i use to watch tv. in fact, i went to a house party the other night and anna umemiya was there. i walked in and she was right there sitting in the living room. oh my gosh. it was weird because i only saw her on tv before and to see her in person, it felt strange. i was so nervous i couldn’t even say hello. no i didn’t get a photo, and no i didn’t get an autograph. i have that stored in my memory… forever…. haha…

and last, i was hungry last night when i got back from diving. so i opened my refrigerator, oh, i mean cooler, grabbed 2 fish out, cut it up, and made sashimi. from the ocean to the dinner table. can’t beat that!! and my beer? oh did it taste so great!![:?????????:]
