good morning. the pain is here!!! i thought i could handle anything but i was wrong. after i came back from hand surgery yesterday, i was fine. that’s until the numbness started to wear off. then my hand felt like it was on fire. they must have cut deep because i feel deep burning pain!!

i couldn’t take it anymore so i dipped into my vicadin pain killers. one hour later, i thought i was floating above the clouds. so many people got addicted to vicadin. people like anna nicole smith, michael jackson, and many sports athletes. now i know why. it didn’t take the pain away, it took my mind off the pain. it made me feel good and made me think about happy things. then i woke up in the middle of the night as it wore off and started to have nightmares. i wanted to take another one but decided not too. vicadin is a drug and if i was depressed, i could see myself taking pill after pill. that’s not good…. so in the rubbish can it’s going. bye bye….

remember this shell my friend in the philippines gave me a couple of years ago? after almost getting taken away from customs, i finally got it home…..

it’s now in my shell collection and will be with me forever….

check out this landslide in padang, indonesia from the earthquake. i’m pretty scared to go back there but probably will go anyway. i just don’t think too many people will come with me….
as for the waves? nice solid head high south swell in town. clean and crowded. north shore is small but i see an awesome rainbow above pipeline right now. cool…. have a nice day!!!

Huge Wave!!!

hello from my hospital room. gosh, i’m starting to like this place. the nurses are super nice and i can’t use my cell phone. so i just relax, read a magazine, and wait to get cut open.
well, they dug deep and found the long spine in my hand. i couldn’t believe how big and sharp it was and can’t believe how long it was in there. my hand hurts from the cut and stitches but nothing like how it’s been hurting for the last month. i’m glad it’s out and can’t wait to use my hand normally again. i’m pretty messed up right now but should be back in top shape soon. please don’t feel sorry for me because your looking at a guy who enjoys his life, the good, and the bad. if this was 20 years ago, i would be angry, stressed, pissed, and an asshole. but now, i’m just an asshole. haha… just joking. i have something to look forward too. and that’s traveling!! as soon as my hand heals where i can carry my own suitcase, and my eye doctor gives me the ok, i’m out of here. going on another journey far away. then when i get back to hawaii, i’m surfing/diving/shooting, and going back to my happy life. but until then, stay out of my way… haha….

just wanted to let you all know that all the galleries on WWW.GO-NAMINORI.COM will be deleted shortly due to the overloading of our servers. that means photos like this will be lost forever. don’t miss out and regret it for the rest of your life….

Life is short,
Break the rules,
Forgive quickly,
Kiss slowly,
Love truly,
Laugh uncontrollably,
And never regret anything that made you smile..
