good evening. gosh, what a dangerous day. i had to run around town doing things and it wasn’t easy driving with one eye. i couldn’t see anything to the left and my judgement in parking was way off. try to cover one of your eyes and drive. i even had a hard time walking. i bought a costco hotdog today and when i tried to put the ketchup on it, i totally missed and got it all over my hand. one more week of this eye patch? ahhh….. and heard from a couple of people that had the same surgery done in japan and said that you can’t go in the water for 3 months. what? no freakin way…..

i can’t do anything. my doctor told me not to lift anything over 10lbs or not to bend down. that puts pressure on my eye and the stitches might break. i didn’t even know i had stitches in my eye. i can’t work out, can’t cook, can’t watch tv for too long, and after 10 minutes on my computer, i’m freakin dizzy. but you know what i did today? i looked for diving gear on craigslist.com. and found this hundred dollar 75′ riffe tag line for only $40. what a deal. i sent the guy an email, he called me, i met him at ala moana, and sold… i even got his phone number to hook up in the future for a dive. his name was les from kaneohe and was a super cool guy…. thanks for the deal les….

my brother is in fishing mode now. trolling and catching big fish is all he does. so when the fish comes home, i get out the knife and cut the sashimi up. this is a tuna….

everybody throws away the head and bones. not me. i made some indonesian style soup tonight for dinner. or should i call it “one eye soup”… haha… that’s a dumb one. good night….

and last, i’ve been shooting photos seriously for the past 2 years. when i see the photo chance, i’m on it. i have many visions of photos i really want to take, and this one was one of them. can you figure out where i took this? this is my new screen saver. give me the exact place and i’ll hook you up with a free go-naminori tshirt….

saki drive shita kedo hidari no hou zen zen mienai desu. abunakatta
yo… i tried to drive today but it was really dangerous. i
couldn’t see anything to my left…. scary to drive with only one
eye….

good morning. checking out the waves right now, which i shouldn’t be. the north shore looks super fun in the 2-4′ range. ahhhh… i want to surf so bad!!! laniakea looks perfect right now and i’m getting tempted. maybe i could wear a mask and surf? why not? my eye won’t get wet right? ahhhh…. i’m going to try to drive today. if your on the road, get out of my way because i can’t see anything to my left…. have a nice day….
**a guy by the name of David Yi’s been checking out my blog for a while. he was super cool and sent me a CD a few months ago. he told me that that’s his favorite artist and wanted me to listen to it. i loaded it in my ipod before my indo boat trip and had no clue what or who it was. it was about the 2nd day into the boat trip when i came across it on my ipod. the artist was Jason Mraz. heard of him? not me. since then, i must have listened to it over a thousand times. from the first song to the last, i got hooked. super cool vibe with super cool lyrics. i don’t know how to explain it but i get happy listening to the music. here is one of my favorite songs on the CD. david also told me that Jason Mraz surfs too. even better…. anyway, wanted to thank David Yi for turning me on to some cool music. and thanks also for sending me such cool emails. mahalo to my southern california buddy…
i wanted to share this song with everyone and figured, “why not put some photos in there?” so i just threw this little slide show together. hope you enjoy the photos and music. thanks…
