good evening. been having some fun surf sessions out at bowls recently. a lot of my friends have been out so it’s nice to talk story, surf, talk story, surf, and talk story. i don’t care how big or small the waves are, i don’t care how strong or weak the winds are, i don’t care how cold or warm the water is. i’m just happy to be able to surf everyday. i was sitting on my board looking around and all i have to say is “i wish you were here!!” sweet dreams…

hey, did you hear about Hawaii Five-0? yeah, they will be on CBS and i can’t wait to see it. Book um Mcgarret!!!

i ordered a new toy for some crazy ideas. it came to my house a week ago but i haven’t even had the time to open the box. i finally did today and after everything is set up, i’m going to show you some crazy shit… stay tuned…

i just picked up a 16GB SD card from sam’s club. it cost $35. pretty cheap yeah??? i remember when 1GB SD cards use to cost $100. i still have a few of those left. anybody want to buy them from half? $50? haha.. just joking…
[:???:][:???:]and last, wanted to say something about the star sand from a secret island off okinawa. i said i would give some away but didn’t think so many people would email me asking for some. so i decided to give it to the first 3 people that sent me emails. Tammy from hawaii, Shawn from ?, Keiko from ise, please send my your address and i’ll get it in the mail. just give me some time because things are moving pretty dam fast around me. it’s hard to keep up… thanks for understanding…

Most Dangerous Job in Indonesia….

good morning. 6:30 am and the waves in town came up a little. 2′ at bowls and ala moana park. yeah!! see you out there!!!

tokura-san, naoka, and i stopped by the golf store yesterday. we grabbed clubs and tested it out. it felt pretty dam good killing a little white ball… check out tokura-san’s 200 yard drive…

i was impressed by naoka’s golf swing. i think it’s about time to hit the golf course….

there are 2 reasons why i quit golf….
first, when i first started the game, i told myself that the day i get a “hole in one” is the day i quit. i did it so i quit…
second, it cost too much money. imagine paying $1,399.99 for a set of irons? the add in $1,000 for drivers, $100 for shoes, $100 for gloves, balls and tees, and thousands for green fees? and $3.50 for each spam musubi and $15 for a 12 pack of beers each time? things keep on adding up and if you golf everyday like i use to, you can go bankrupt in months… i’m glad i quit because if i didn’t, i’d be homeless….

after all the emails i got telling me how stupid i was not to know who furuta-san was, i have one thing to say. “I’m Sorry.” i even told him personally last night that i was sorry for not recognizing him. yeah, i feel embarrassed. throughout the triathlon, all i was looking for was #27 on an arm because that’s what number he was. but from today on, i know who furuta-san is. i could pick him out in a lineup of a million people….

and last, i miss traveling already. i’ve only been back for 2 weeks but i miss exploring this world. eating weird things and seeing weird things is pretty cool. people ask me what i eat when go to countries like malaysia, philippines, indonesia, or africa. my answer is “i don’t know but it taste good.”
**last, wanted to thank nao-san for inviting me to dinner last night. i met some really cool triathletes and even a japanese comedian. stay tuned for photos…
