Has it been that long?

Oh my! almost a year since I've been on here.
Lots has transpired ... like 10 years rolled into 1.. or I am just getting a bit older and the that time is collapsing....perhaps..but the rememdy is ice-cold beer, a small taste of pakalolo. and wa la!

Everything is ok.

Looking forward to a lot this year.. like more beer and pakalolo!

November 2012

Day Off! Sipping on a few cold beers, watching cloudy skies.. skies that look like snow is near..munching on fries and a burger...

ranting and rambling!

Can't always say what I want to on FB... so here goes:  This upcoming election is very important.  It will determine if America will be spelled with a "c" or a "k".  If the fascists win, we will continue on to be a wage-slave nation, where assholes like romney (religious, but evil) rule. I think this is very simple.  That man is not only pyscho but deeply religious.  His church's founder is strange, to say the least.  Believing that God lives on a planet named Kolob?? Hmmmmmm

Oh shit!

Tired

February 24, 2012

well here were again...have a few things running on my mind, some fleeting, some lingering... very peaceful, and it is good to tell these things to chill and when I truly believe they are necessary, I will address them at my own speed, and basically whenever I feel like it.  The tyranny of "get it done" "do it now" . . . just is not how I like to live.  In business, often that is the norm; but tonight, I am sipping some Foster's, smoking a bit, enjoying some zen wallpaper, and basically at "stop" motion.   Got one of those electric cigarettes so now I use it when I drive [that is where I am used to chain smoking].  One nice thing is that it allows me to clear the chemicals out, while enjoying the nicotine.  To kick nicotine, without the chemicals is about 3-5 days.  It is the other additives that keep me hooked: ammonia, etc. 

Eddie, Maria and me goofing off, having fun!!

Love these people. Missing my girls, my son and all of my grandkids too!

I am remembering this window decal I had on my car during the 70's; it is so relevant today. It has always confronted me with "why"?. Why do we tolerate war? what is the real purpose in war? America once went to war for justice and freedom, but of late, it is for profit.

How much is 1 human being worth?

Occupy..Phase 2?

Wondering if all of the movement can get behind a Constitutional Amendment that prohibits $$ in the electoral process? You know, the end of "Citizens United". THAT is a BS from the 1% to control YOU. Time to send the lobbyists scurrying for jobs at the gas station, so they learn to earn a decent wage pumping gas, sucking in the fumes, working in the rain and the snow...putting up with frustrated folks over rising prices, etc., etc.,

Occupy EVERYWHERE!

This movement is here to stay. Why? Because the PEOPLE are fed up with being fodder for the rich elite who think we will take what they "give"! Because we the PEOPLE are tired of being forced into being a "labor class". Because we the PEOPLE are tired of discrimination against immigrants, who the wealthy employ in order to increase profits, but refuse to be held accountable for hiring "illegals", when they know full well that THEY use their willingness to work for less (in order to provide their families with FOOD, CLOTHING AND SHELTER!!).

I think it is goddamn time that we have a sustained revolt in this country, along with a National Strike that will shut down Wall Street, and all employers, in order for them to deeply understand that WE THE PEOPLE provide them with wealth. THEY do not provide us with security. Security is something that WE GIVE THEM!

If our Nation is to continue as a beacon to the oppressed, we must overthrow the oppressors! This is common sense, this is logic! Why has our Nation become a "third world nation"? Because the wealthy have shipped our jobs overseas, resulting in piss-poor products at the same, if not higher prices, as our once "made in America, superior products" we once used to manufacture!

YOU must contact all politicians and let them know that WE THE PEOPLE will no longer tolerate this! No more tax breaks to oil companies, nor to those who ship our jobs overseas and bring their crap back here, expecting us to buy it! And while we are at it, it is high time we crash Wal-Mart and their "made in China" crap, and "part-time" employment policies, so they don't have to give their workers medical insurance.

AND, we must demand free health care as our right. Why is America the only nation that does not have this? Why does America allow "for-profit" health care?? This is a cruel practice and must end.

It is time to wake up, people, and stand up and DEMAND our rights as human beings!

WE ARE NOT MACHINES! WE WILL NOT TOLERATE THIS ANY LONGER...

Strike back, peacefully...no violence.

Resist and Stand, and WE THE PEOPLE will return this Nation to a government that is concerned about the "commons" and a government that is full of "citizen-legislatures", or as I prefer, "citizen-servants". Get the $$$$ out of politics and let's once again, be a Nation of GREATNESS, dedicated to one another and the next generation.

Me and my baby! Married! Enjoying Life together! February 12, 2011 Muy bonita!

LIFE: loving it!

One of the neat things of having a blog that nobody visits is that I can post all kinds of shit that nobody will read. That is like having two people in an elevator and one farts, but nobody says anything!

Getting married next month and after dating for 7 years, this will be awesome. My fiance is out getting her dress and invitations right now, and to see her joy blows my mind.

Wanting to Move

Been thinking lately of moving. Oregon is a good place to live although the winters and I disagree alot. I miss the tropical weather of O'ahu all the time. Been doing web searches for jobs there, haven't found what I'm looking for yet, though, but can see myself returning home and enjoying the body-surfing, especially at Waimanalo Beach.

The best part of such a move would allow me to see my 6 grandkids there, 2 of whom I haven't seen yet!

The New Season

There come times when the leaves change color, the sunny skies shift to grey, and the ice turns to snow...kinda like maturing in our thought and actions, making decisions, changes in the flow of our lives.... all things become new, some are happy, some are blue. That's about where I find myself today.. in the midst of a change that is going on, considering the possible consequences, and making peace with the process.

All in all, it is a good sense that I have about this. The possibilities are unlimited and, the rut will be over and done with!

got to get back home this year! Been missing my girls, grandkids, the great ethnic foods and of course, the beaches! Been about 5 years now since my last trip home and it sucks waking up each morning wishing I were home!

1984

I read that a few times, yet awhile ago...shit. Hello? I wish I were back in Hawaii for awhile...sitting back and seeing this:

Rabbit Island off of Makapuu Beach!!!
