i woke up this morning feeling sore all over. arms, shoulders, abs, back, super itai. i haven’t had a good workout like yesterday in a while. i jumped on the scale and i’m 8 lbs (3.6 kilos) lighter. i feel great, i feel healthy, and i feel like doing it again.
some of the most spectacular views are on the south/east side of oahu. seeing it from the road is one thing, but seeing it from the ocean is another. the only freaky thing for me was getting hit by a whale. i thought about it a few times and it just made me paddle faster and faster. it was deep blue water all the way and once i hit diamond head and could see the reef, i was relieved. really relieved.
this was my turning point. i stopped to take a photo of the rainbow. then i looked at my watch and seen that i have a chance to make it back to waikiki in 3 hours. this is where i started paddling my fastest. i was like a machine yelling and everything. paddle, breathe, paddle, breathe!!!! i felt like i could have paddled on forever.
i like this photo dave yamaya took of shun. i remember when shun was first trying to do airs. now, this kid is landing them. great air, great photo, great combo. good job boys.
a 19 year old girl was grabbed in the parking lot at windward mall in the day. the guy tried to kidnap her and pull her into his car. that’s crazy! hawaii is getting crazy! everybody please be careful. if somebody grabs you, scream, kick him in the balls, poke his eyes, and RUN!!!!
Kidnapping Attempt on East Hawaii
Big Fire and Explore South America!
the other morning was crazy!!! i was driving near U.H and i seen thick black smoke starting to come up. i sped over because i thought it was a burning house and maybe somebody could be inside. the farthest i get is to the edge of the freeway and i see a car on fire!!! OMG! is somebody inside? nobody was there yet as cars kept on driving by. i was going to jump the fence but if i did, i would have gotten run over for sure. so all i could do is watch as the car exploded. it was crazy!
cars were just driving right by. what the heck?
then things started exploding!!!! big explosions! it was freaky. i’m not sure if anybody died and i’m just hoping not. the firemen and police came but it was way too late. the car was burnt to the ground.
then i went to eat some lunch at Fukuya on south king street. this plate cost $8. pretty expensive yeah? but it was pretty good.
ok, we had an election 2 days ago. president obama won. but another thing they were voting on was legalizing marijuana in colorado and washington. that part of the ballot won too? omg! legalized marijuana in america? does that mean that our president can now smoke pot? that’s scary. what is this world coming too?
in 8 days i’m leaving this paradise island and taking a trip of a lifetime. it’s my only chance for a long time and i still don’t know where to go. i’m ready for something new. i’ve traveled most of asia so this time, i’m going the opposite direction. turkey? greece? then i came across some interesting things to do in south america. brazil, peru, chile, argentina, bolovia? if i go there, i’m riding a motorcycle on this road for sure!!!! they call it death road and i can see why.
are you kidding me? i would love to sit on the edge, drink a beer, and think what an amazing world we live in. it’s time for something different and different it will be. i finally bought my backpack so i’m ready for anything.
oh, if you have any good information on where and what to do in south america, i would appreciate some info because i have no idea where to go. and i don’t have time to research it. just getting on a plane and backpacking like the old days. it’s my time to explore this wonderful world again!
