Call me Mr. Graduate!

I just completed a Bachelor of Business Administration degree at Shidler Business College, UH Manoa!!! The reality has yet to sink in. I started college fresh out of high school, but quickly dropped out. This has been an amazing, but long 3 1/2 years and I am so grateful to all who have helped me through it. Celebration time is near! Rik and I, along with two friends, are heading to the Big Island of Hawaii tomorrow to spend several days at an old Buddhist temple. After we get back, Rik and I are packing up house and heading to Portland on July 28th! Aloha~

Joke of the day

So a child molester and an 8 year old boy are walking into the woods... It starts getting dark, and as they venture further and further into the woods, the 8 year old says, "I'm getting scared". The child molester, turns to the kid and says, "You're getting scared??? I have to walk out of here alone."

Super bad taste, but hey, that's how I roll. Stole this joke from the movie "Blue Valentine", which by the way sucked, in my opinion. The only semi good thing, was getting to see Ryan Gosling naked.

Puyehue Volcano erupts in Chile

The photos of the eruption, and subsequent lightning are amazing. Puyehue Volcano erupts in Chile and it's going off!

Rename the site? How about Paradise...

So I'm thinking about renaming my blog to "Paradise Lost in Hawaii". I want to document the horrendous conditions that most residents of Hawaii live with: Trash, corrupt cops, poor public representation, lack of environmental protection, hatred towards "haoles" and gays, etc... Thoughts?

I guess I'm getting old...

So I just discovered grey hairs on my chest. 33 years old, soon to be 34, and I've lived a life that has probably added 10+ years to that in honesty, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised...
