ok, what happened to the little pig? after thinking it over and over about eating it, we decided to let it live. the best size to eat, but the worst size to try to kill. just couldn’t do it.

it’s so funny watching my friend Brandon grabbing the pig. he’s grabbed so many pigs, wrestled them, and put long knives in their hearts. he taught me how to hunt, we did it for a few years, but i don’t like to kill anymore. good thing i went there yesterday because he already had the knife ready to put a suckling pig on the table for dinner.

threw the pig in my chickens cage, locked it, and loaded it in the car.

if anybody wants a free pig, let me know soon before my hungry friend puts this on his dinner table. but seriously, if you want it as a pet, you can have it. just have to promise me you won’t kill it.

got a whole bunch of goodies from Kimura-san yesterday! shirasu, bento, and other goodies! so happy as this week i’ll be eating very fresh and very healthy. thank you Kimura-san and Atsuko-san!

“life with ocean,” cool goodies.

a very rare bottle of jack daniels! i’ve never seen one like that before. and this milky sake i like a lot. just can’t drink too much or i’ll get a hangover.

from Ushio in wakayama all the way to kaimuki in hawaii! itadakimasu! thank you so so much!

at 6:30am, somebody seen a 12′ hammerhead shark in waikiki. so the police and fireman told all the surfers and swimmers to get out of the water. it was the big news for this morning. listening it on my radio driving to the beach, i thought it was funny. a hammerhead shark is harmless. yeah, they get aggressive sometimes and come close to you. but to close waikiki beach is going a little too far. every single time i dive in waikiki, i see a shark, sometimes two, and sometimes six. if i reported it, the beach would be closed every day of the year. that’s crazy.

got a call from my friend Brandon early this morning, “hey kirby, you like roast one pig?” so i’m thinking “roasted suckling pig.” he said “come up and and grab um.” i say “shoots!”

i head deep into the mountains and see my friend wrestling with a little pig. haha. he had his knife and was ready to stab him in the heart. i look at the pig and it was so cute! i look at him and say, “brah, we can’t kill him!” so what happened? i can’t tell you what happened after this.

the wild pigs come down from the mountain and eat up the residents gardens. it’s like “whole foods” for free! i would too if i were a pig. so the owners call my friend Brandon, then he goes up, hides in the mountain, and wrestles the pigs out. it’s actually pretty funny watching him.

the small cute pigs are the best eating. in bali, we order this all the time. my mouth is watering now!!!

spent a relaxing hour washing and waxing the truck. looks brand new again!

then went to watch the waves at bowls go from waist high to flat as the high tide moved in. the smallest day of the year.

wanted to welcome Shun Murakami back to hawaii. he’s here for the WQS contest at bowls this weekend. i’ll be in the water shooting it all day so get ready for some awesome photos coming up soon. the next south swell is coming slowly but surely all the way from new zealand. approximate time of arrival is thursday evening. yeah!
