last night was a blast. holli, candace, john, russ, bobby and i got together for a semi-annual get together. food, drinks, fun, laughs, taxi’s, clubs, fireworks, and a whole lot more. there was only 6 of us but seemed like 100 of people having fun in a huge penthouse overlooking waikiki. with this group, there’s never a dull moment..

i’ve been off island most of last year and missed on a lot of fun with my friends. so last night was pretty memorable because we didn’t just get together small time, we got together big time!!! 2 bedroom penthouse suite? check out the view!!! clams, fish, sashimi, tako, oysters, steak, chicken, drinks, drinks, and drinks. we had enough food and drinks to feed hundreds of people….

the clams were amazing. we all have eaten at the best restaurants in the world but agreed that last nights steamed clams was by far, the best!!! thanks candace for all the love put into the clam making…

remember, this was a party for only 6 people. and this is only 1/10th of the alcohol. holli, thanks for the hangover…

i hate gambling. i never gamble and don’t want too. holli had a restroom break so i took her place. i started winning and was feeling good. next thing you know, i lost all the money in my pocket. i was bummed… but watching bobby almost lose his BMW, i didn’t feel too bad. haha… thanks russ for taking all our money….

BFF means “Best Friends Forever.” we are all one star that will be shining forever!!!
i feel like the luckiest person in the world because i have so many best friends. you can’t buy friends, you can’t rent friends, and you can’t steal friends. friends are there for you no matter what. the ups, and the downs, and everything between. i just want to say to every friend i have in this world, THANK YOU (DOOMO ARIGATO GOZAIMASU). i owe it all to you for making me the happy person i am today!!![:?????$B!x(B???:]

good morning. town small and junky onshore. north shore coming up to 25′ today. weird south/west wind. cloudy. go surf? dive? hike? swim? a nice day to do all. have a good one…
i always get asked a weird question from japanese when they come to hawaii. the ask, “kirby, take me somewhere where i can get power.” power? what do you mean? then the more and more i get asked, the more and more i get interested in the topic of “power.” see, in japan, they have tv programs of “spiritual power” places in hawaii recently that make people think they can go somewhere and get power. well, i think i finally know what they mean by “getting power” and i know the place….

i went hiking up the mountain near my house yesterday and walked into one of the most spiritual places i’ve ever been too. talk about power? i could feel it in every step…

the bamboo trees were pretty cool too…

and at the end of every hike, there is a reward. either a million dollar view, or an awesome waterfall. check this out!!!

if you want more power, try eating these. you will feel like superman and try to jump off the highest building…. haha..
**anyway, i know what “spiritual power” is now so the next time somebody wants to go, this is the place i’m taking them….
