good morning. another rainy dark day. but so what? enjoy it!!! i was shooting yesterday and learning a lot from koyama-san. today, same thing. my brain is like a sponge and it wants more and more information. and to learn it from a professional is the best hands on experience. i might ask a lot of questions but that’s just the way i am. i didn’t learn everything i know from not asking. haha…

i watched cnn news last night and had a shocker. we just found out that there is Chromium-6 in our tap water here in hawaii. i was super shocked!! i drink tap water every single day since i was born. and now i find out it causes cancer? are you kidding? who’s responsible for this? is this hidden? or was hidden? i really question our government now that this has been brought to our attention. i want answers NOW!!! 99% of the people living in hawaii drink tap water. and if your a tourist, you do too. yes, it’s in the restaurants, it’s in the parks, shopping centers, it’s everywhere! can somebody let me know what’s going on?

this is Bruddah! i’ve known Bruddah for almost 30 years. he’s part of the Sandy Beach Boys. a talented surfer, a great person, and a big heart. he’s like 7’0 tall and 250 lbs. big guy but a gentleman. he always use to look after me as i was growing up. if you messed with me back in the days, you would have to deal with this giant. it was great to see you yesterday and thanks for all the aloha Bruddah….

i was driving through hawaii kai yesterday and seen this truck on the side of me. what is this???? i still can’t figure it out…

nage from kauai is freaking ripping these days. i seen her throw more spays then a lot of guys. this is backdoor last week and i’m guessing it will be like that today too. so guess what? i’m going there right now!!! have a beautiful day!

it’s been dark and not so hawaii looking this past few days, but who cares. if you know how to have fun, nothing will bring you down. this guy knows how to have fun and this guy knows where to go!
