\ngood evening. what a nice day it was today. i drove to kaneohe to check out kyle and some of the new upcoming hawaii skin diver tv footage. it’s going to be awesome. then headed to kailua to stop by island snow, then to waimanalo to my friend abe’s nursery, then to hawaii kai to get new license plates for my car, then ate kim chee 2, and just came home. wow, such a long day! but the drive was awesome, especially with 2 eyes. i’m super tired and ready for bed. i might go hunting with my friends tomorrow up deep in the mountain. going to try to catch a pig. want to see it on youtube? might be ok for some people and might not be ok for some people. maybe i’ll video it, maybe not. anyway, i’m going to suck down an ice cold beer and hit the sack. goodnight….
\n**my little friend nohea sent me a book he had written. somebody published it and made limited copies. i’m lucky enough to get 2 copies sent by nohea. the book that changed my life. read the preface….
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nThe book you are holding was written by a remarkable young man, who
\ncalls himself Nohea. He is just fifteen years old.

\nwater no lectric no nutn just 4 walls u can see lite thru caus was made with
\nwood slats an a zinc roof u can hear rats run cross at nite—we had no

\nNohea has been fending for himself since he was five years old. At twelve
\nhe was abducted by a group of men, raped and beaten over many days, and
\nleft for dead, yet he survived. He has been in and out of a broken foster care
\nsystem, in homes where he continued to experience abuse. He has decided
\nhe is safer on the street.
\nTwo bright lights in Nohea???s life have been a long-distance ???dad??? and
\n???mom??? who live in two different states and have supported him with prayer,
\nphone calls, email, and whatever cash they can pull together. Through them,
\nNohea has come to believe that he is loved by God.
\nAs I write this, Nohea is fighting for his life against Kaposi???s Sarcoma, an
\nHIV-related cancer.
\nThe Wizard of Harlem is only partly fiction. It is based on Nohea???s actual
\nexperiences, mixed in with his hopes and dreams. As we read, may our
\nhearts be broken for all the lost children and may we be moved to take
\naction.
\n???Tess???
