I was made for Hawaii... The last 72 Hours of Life.
This is gonna be an abnormal post, like most of my posts are... Well this is gonna by my first post since I have been back in Hawaii. Currently I am enjoying an ice cold beer and it's not even 10 AM and I have already gone surfing and had my cup of tea and I think I am gonna sleep because the last 72 Hours have been complete uter insanity... I will break it all down for you...
*(Note: All the previous few days I had no more than 4 hours of sleep each night.)
Tues.
7 AM - 10 AM
Wake up start backing shit up on my computer for the trip to Hawaii, I realize how much stuff I need to do and I get a bit flustered, being flustered always slows you down when your packing. I write a long list of things that I need to take. Clothes, Bathroom Stuff, Ipod, Headphones, Desktop Computer, 5 Harddrives, RNP, RNC, 7 Mics, 5 Mic Cables, 8 Guitar Pedals, 3 Notebooks, Enzymes, Instrument Cables, Melodica, Tuner, Laptop Computer... and a lot more... I brought over 150 lbs. of crap back. Well it's always daunting because I always think I am gonna be missing something. I get a lot done.
10 AM - 12 AM
Run to Pixel USA to pick up 2 New harddrives to backup all my running projects so my clients don't cry when my computer explodes in the plane because I use it as a bomb... well then I would be dead, anyways. Run to frys to get rechargeable batteries. Go to Staples to get Duct Tape, man that crap is expensive, like 8 bucks a roll... I bought two, I should have got one, ohh well, I could return one if I really cared. Then I got a wondering meal at Mc Donalds, of course a #3... The Bacon Egg cheese biscut, the corner stone of every nutritious breakfast. I need to back track a bit, at 10 AM I got an e-mail from a girl I had met the previous Saturday at a friends party that turned into complete chaos, that's another long side story. But anyhow within the hours of 10 and 12 I think we wrote back in forth about 4 times talking about how we should hang out. By the last e-mail I suggested that we get a drink when she comes back from thrift shopping which would be around 10 PM. Sounds like a good enough idea. That was 10 to 12.
12pm - 5pm
Well lots of thinking about scratching my head happened at 12 but at 1 I had lunch with two good friends, one who is a film maker and the other a bass player. We had tasty sushi and my belly was happy. In the same shopping center where the sushi place is there is a clock shop, you know like grandfather clocks and what not. I have a soft place in my heart for clocks so after lunch which was around 2 I dropped in and talked to the owner for a bit, he is a really cool guy, he always talks to me about life lessons for no apparent reason. Well by that time it was almost 2:30 and I still needed to go to Santa Cruz to pick up my surfboard that was getting ding repaired, Santa cruz is about 45 minutes from where I live and if I am getting my board back I definitely need to go surfing right? So... I drove to santa cruz paid $80 for my amazing repair job and hit the POINT "Pleasure Point"... I surfed for about 1 hour, the waves weren't that great but I caught a few nice rides, it wasn't crowded so that was nice... And I saw an otter, that always makes my day, otters cracking urchins on their stomachs is the coolest thing ever! EVER BITACH!!!
Ok well, by the time I got out of the water it was 5.
5 PM - 10 PM
Well the first hour of this section was driving over the hill. The hill is a stretch of about 30 miles on nonsense of the Santa Cruz Mountains, it's a beautiful drive but when you are going in the middle of commuter time it's more of a pain in the ass. Well I got back around six and I had a few moments to get ready for dinner with another friend. An amazing MC / Operah singer / Producer friend of mine. I got in my room sat a bit, and thought more about how much packing sucks, took a shower, ohh, I forgot to wash my wet suit FUCK! It's sitting in a trash bag all salty on my bedroom floor, that thing is gonna be fucked when I get back... DAMN IT... ohh, ok, so I took a shower and went to eat at Rock Bottom Brewery. Chilled, had some good conversation, a burgerm, and two tasty beers... Ohh they were tasty indeed... After dinner I went home around 9:15 and went back to the packing grind. At about 10:00 Amanda called me and told me she was down to get drinks and said she would be ready around 10:30, honestly I didn't think we would hang out, especially on such short notice and especially because I was already out of my mind tired from the last few days of my life, but what the hell, Carpe Diem right? Well I meet he with her friend Adrian at the bar and we have a few drinks, I smoke a few cigarettes (this always wakes me up). I am not much of a smoker and don't really get adicted to things except (MAKING OUT) but a cigarette now and then tastes wonderful. Ohh it's already 10:30 and I am in the 5 PM section...
10:30 PM - 5:30 AM
I have a few drinks and we bar hop to two different bars and before you know it, it's 1:30. I didn't drink too much so I am just a bit buzzed but Adrian is wasted and getting out of hand emo for some strange reason. Adrian is definitely too drunk to drive so I offer to take him home. I take him back to his place and I meet the roomies and putz around for about 30 minutes. Its now almost 2:30, Amanda is with me so I offer to take her home to and I do. I putz around at her place for another 30 minutes listening to good music and groan about the daughting task of packing I have ahead. I tell Amanda that she should keep me company while I pack and be a trooper with me and she does! SWEET! So I get back to my place around 3 AM and start packing I get done around 4:30, Amanada is already sound a sleep on my bunk bed but I bug her a bit... I get about and hour of sleep and I get up to my alarm telling me I need to take Amanda to work. this is about 5:45, she started work at 6. So I take her to work go home and make sure everything is ready for my flight which leaves at 9:00 AM meaning I need to leave the house by 7 at the latest...
7:00 - 3:00 (6:00 there is a 3 hour time change to Hawaii)
Between the hours of 7 and 3 I phase in and out of conciousness. It's a good feeling though. I know I get some rest but I know it's not enough. I land in Oahu about 11:00 and have a lay over for about 2.5 hours. Another lapse of conciousness, I like it though because my trip went a lot faster bacause I dont think my brain was all there... 3 PM!!! I get into HILO!!!!!!
3:00 - 5:00 PM
Mom takes me home and makes me dinner with Poke, Miso Soup, and wonderful fish. Before dinner I work 2 hours at setting up the studio to start recording, By dinner time I had everything running and I just finished recording some stuff with the Ukulele when mom came in to tell me it was dinner time around 6:15... I had the most delicious Becks ever in my life and at delicious food that my mom made for me... After dinner I think about heading in to town just because I can and just because I am home, I take a shower, my first shower since surfing the previous day and get ready to head into town, I step into my dads beater truck only to find that battery is dead, I think god was looking out for me. So I go back to the studio and record util about 11 PM and go to bed. I wake up the a beautiful sunrise and lapse back into sleep and wake up around 8 AM. I go back into the studio and work until about 12 and head to the beach! It's a beautiful day so I gotta go to the beach. When I get to the beach (Richardsons) I swim for about 30 min. and eat the plate lunch I picked up at Leung's... The tastiest motha fuckin place on planet earth... after swimming I find my food has been invaded by ants, that was a bummer, but I got over it quick. Then in about 5 minutes, I saw 4 good friends, Danica, Darell, Rachell, and... and... ok only 3... Well as good friends often do in Hawaii we went to get shave ice, ohhh tasty tasty shave ice with ice cream... then we went to the mall and saw more people I know, Nina Brav... really, the only important person I saw, and went to Maui Tacos. whoa I need to have a new time section.
08.24.06 (3 PM - 12 PM)
While eating I keep blabbing about how much I want to go surfing... I convince a majority of the people (Not all) that we should go surfing at Honoli'i... This would be my first time surfing there, SO SWEET!!!! By 4 I am in the water with a psuedo long board, more like a foamy... I catch a few ways and I have a blast, I am out around 5 because my leesh didn't fit and I lost my board 4 times up on the rocks and got my ass pounded, but it still was amazing. After surfing we meet up at kens to Have dinner. Ken's is the place where local people eat fattening over-priced food and fatten up for when hawaii sinks into the ocean... Well, we are at Kens until about 9 when everyone decideds they want to go to Nina's house because it's so super sweet. I decide not to go and try and pick a leesh at the mall but they close early because they are basterds and I can't get one. Then I get a Text from Mememem, wondering if a scary movie sounds good at 9:40... Of course it does... So I watch a scary movie until about 12:00 take michelle home and get home and sleep, without a shower. At around 8 PM the same day while I was driving to Ken's I got a call from Tracy Anicas, basically my second mother in Hawaii and I tell her I was surfing, her husband Steven overhears the conversation and asks if I want to go surfing the next morning at 6, I hesitate for a bit and then say... Of course... So well I got back at about midnight and I now gotta get up at 5:30 to go surfing with a good family friend, this is not a bad thing, this is an amazing thing... So I sleep for about 4.5 hours and get up to go surfing, it's still dark. I get to stevens at 6 on the dot and we go to Nina's house to pick up a long board. Steven and I get to Honoli'i around 6:30 and surf until around 8. I take steven home and call Michelle to see if she wants to get tea with me, she says she is busy and it makes me sad. So I get a Soy Latte alone write a bit and drive home around 9:00 I get home take a showever and type on my computer for an hour, writing what you just read, most of you probably didn't have the patience to get this far, but if you did I congradulate you and it most obviously means we need to hang out... so give me a call or drop me an e-mail... I gotta sleep now... Bie Bye Pie.
