as i was sitting down sipping on some fine whisky the other night, i thought to myself “what an awesome view, and what an awesome life.” there are many people that inspire me. some people inspire me to be successful, some people inspire me to be honest, some people inspire me to forgive, some people inspire me to chase my dreams. Inaida-san inspires me in all these ways and many more. so as i was driving home to my house, i started talking to myself again, “hey, keep working hard, keep moving forward, and keep dreaming.” then the next morning i woke up, i looked out my window and saw a rock wall, weeds, and my chickens making poop all over the place. haha. but someday i’ll be waking up to an ocean view. dreams do come true!

had such a great time with Hayashi-san and Kyouhei-san. 2 cool surfers enjoying their hawaiian vacation.

down my street a new restaurant opened up. it’s been getting really crowded so i’m guessing it must be good. hopefully will get some time to try it this week. will let you know how it is.

i found these photos in my iphoto library. i was wondering where it was? then i remembered it was on a yacht on a trip to the maldives. gosh, it seemed so long ago but it was in 2012. how time goes by so fast!

getting back to my room. could you imagine being on a boat and having a huge room like this to yourself? it was a dream boat trip and i still don’t believe it actually happened.

i remember going back each evening after diving to a nice hot tub. it was crazy!

seen this sticker and thought it was cool. get it?

want to thank Fujiki-san for the Kikaida Reboot program. i can’t wait to go to japan and watch it! where is it playing?

been shopping around for parts for an upcoming maintenance on Mayuki. if you love something, you must take care of her. no excuses.

ahi fever? why did i even get into it??? after last nights dinner, i calculated time and money. going fishing 3x took 26 hours and cost me over $650 in gas. i could have sat on this counter 3 wonderful nights eating the best ahi in the world. what was i thinking???

no need fill up gas, no need get ice, no need lunch, no need wash boat, and no need clean fish. just sit down and eat like a samurai. haha.

eating the best tuna in the world, straight from japan. now you understand why i quit hunting ahi?

last, check out this guy who broke into 2 boats late at night in honolulu, hawaii. stole fishing gear and more. since this is an island, i’m sure this guy will get caught soon. if you know him, call the police at 911. thanks.
