 because i had to write the story.  not asked too, told too. haha&#8230;  it was a couple of days till the deadline when i got the call from kinsan saying &#8220;you write the story&#8221;.  he asked me before but i said no because i was too dam busy having fun.  so he gave me 2 days to write the story and i just figured i&#8217;d write it like a blog.  i usually take a few weeks to write a big story like that but this one, i pretty much did in one day.  and now that it&#8217;s out, i&#8217;m glad i did it&#8230;.  why?  because it was my true honest feeling about okinawa and the people.  it&#8217;s called &#8220;Dream Away&#8221; and that&#8217;s pretty much what i do when i&#8217;m there&#8230;.<br \/>\n<a href=\"files\/okinawa.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/okinawa.jpg\" width=\"570\" height=\"362\" alt=\"\"><\/a><br \/>\nsurf1st editor akai-san called me and told me that it&#8217;s the best story he&#8217;s ever read in his editorial career.   that makes me freakin happy.  especially because i just whipped it out.  i thought it was kind of half\/ass but now after i read it again, i wrote everything from deep down inside.  so half\/ass or not, that&#8217;s my true feelings of okinawa and will always be.  go grab a copy and check it out because that&#8217;s probably the last article i will ever write for a surf magazine.  i&#8217;m just too busy &#8220;Dreaming Away&#8221;&#8230;..<br \/>\n**i got a couple extra copies so if any of you in hawaii want to check it out, i&#8217;ll let you borrow it.  just drop me an email and i&#8217;ll hook up with you.  mahalo&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>good morning. 6:30am thursday morning. small waves all over today. ah&#8230; now i can relax and not think about surfing. got so many things to do today so stay off the road because i&#8217;m driving. have a nice day&#8230;. garut&#8217;s going to be on tv today across america. check him out on fuel tv&#8217;s the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-1005","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-go-naminori"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1005","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1005"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1005\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1005"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1005"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1005"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
