welcome wintery weather! all of a sudden, summer turned into winter. the wind and water just got a few degrees lower in the past few days. i kind of like it!

i have my go-team here in hawaii now. i had to have a meeting with Naoka and Eri-chan the other night. room? bar? restaurant? car? office? yeah! office!! i feel the most comfortable in my office so that’s where i decided to have our meeting. on the water, under the stars, and just out front of waikiki. we talked about business for about 2 minutes and then talked about life for 2 hours. i really believe that life is much more important than business. if you have a great life, you will have a great business. and as long as everybody is happy, that’s all i care about these days.

no computers and no phones in our meeting. it was just the 3 of us figuring out what will be the best the old fashion way. the way i want to return to someday. thank you Naoka and Eri-chan for the great floating meeting. i had a great time and my stomach still hurts from laughing so much. keep our dreams alive! Go-Naminori x Beach Press!

for the past 3 days, i spent money and time on trying to recover the lost video. i’d say a solid 10 hours on my computer or on the phone. the lost files started to show up so i started to celebrate. maybe celebrating too early?

i open it up and all i saw was a green screen. OMG! after that, i officially quit! i’m over it. i have no more time to be stressing out on lost video anymore. i sat back and told myself “maybe it was just meant to be.” so be it!

and another OMG! about a month ago, my friend Brent invited me to his wedding day on November 22. well, November 22 passed. then i saw him at a dinner on the 23rd. i looked at him thinking “something is wrong here? did i forget something?” OMG! i forgot his wedding! OMG! i totally forgot to go to his wedding. my other friend texted me earlier on the 22nd and asked me what i was wearing. what am i wearing? i thought “what are you talking about” and didn’t bother to reply. come to find out, Kekoa was asking me what i was going to wear to Brent’s wedding. so there i was on the 23rd the day after his wedding i missed. he was standing next to his beautiful new wife who i just met for the first time. OMG, i felt so stupid! i’m sure his wife thinks i’m a loser surfer or something because yes, i was surfing. haha. but actually, i’m just getting old and forgetful. sorry Brent and Suzie, wish you a wonderful bright future. and i’m really sorry again. please forgive me.
