Four hours in Maui. All because I had to sign some papers. That’s ok … I got to eat dinner at this awesome place called Koho’s. A friend of mine took me there en route to the airport. I love eating there. There have been many times that I have flown to Maui just to have dinner at Koho’s. Anyway, Beamer and I started off with some appetizers. He had the Super Nachos and I had the Fried Clams. For dinner, I had the Taco Salad and Beamer had the Chicken Fajitas. Of course we shared everything. The BEST part was the dessert! I ordered the “Da Kine Brownie”. OMG … it’s a hot fudge sundae with this gooey warmed brownie at the bottom. That is truly a Chocoholic’s dream. Beamer ordered the “Kilauea Snowball”. Another favorite dessert. It’s vanilla ice cream rolled in graham crackers and then I think it’s deep-fried for a second, topped with warm caramel in a cinnamon tortilla shell with honey and walnuts. I like going there with other people … you can sample what everyone else is eating. They have two locations. I’ve only been to the one in Kahului. It’s near everything. The location is about a 10-minute drive from the airport in the Kaahumanu Shopping Center. The other location in Napili, on the other side of the island, I hear is more of a tourist trap. It’s about a 15-minute drive from Kapalua Bay Resort (if I remember correctly). That is one of the most beautiful resorts I have ever seen in Hawaii. The golf course is awesome. I used to work for this company that did a lot of traveling, and that was one of the places we used to stay at. Talk about pamper.
The day started off rather sluggish for me. I did NOT want to go to work. Especially knowing that I had to rush to the airport after. It turned out to be a slow day and I got off earlier than expected. The same old shit … everyone picking on someone. Pasco cracks me up though. She has a love/hate relationship with just about all the men in that place. She just loves to hate them. One in particular … Robert … he’s one of the kitchen managers. Just about every time I turn the corner, they’re always at it. Sometimes I think something is going on that we don’t know about … hehe … I swear they fight like a married couple. I take it that Pasco got her brother Joe to check out my website. Now he’ll know the truth about his sister. Just kidding Pasco, maybe. By the way, does he know about that HICKY on your neck?? No?? Oops, sorry … hehe.
All I have to say is thank God I got a flight home tonight instead of staying overnight. I work at 7 in the morning, that would have been a bitch to make. Thanks to Hawaiian Airlines for their hospitality, as usual. The girls at ticketing were awesome. I had a nice time in Maui, which is unusual for me. I hate going to Maui. I used to fly there every week for business. It’s pretty nice now that I don’t have to anymore.
Hope you’re enjoying the rest of the weekend, catch you later …

Hawaiian Words of the Day: as requested by Monkeyboy (there, I mentioned your name you bitch)
Makaio – Matthew (Monkeyboy’s name)
Hookahi – one
Elua – two
Ekolu – three
Eha – four
Elima – five
Eono – six
Ehiku – seven
Ewalu – eight
Eiwa – nine
Umi – ten
I thought I’d make an entry before I pack for my trip to Maui tomorrow. Today at work went by really fast today. I don’t know, maybe because all we did today was horse around. This new manager we have is really cool … he let’s us do just about anything … to a point … as long as we get our job done. Ok, like there is this really nice looking guy I work with. Nice to look at. Real nice body. Muscular, but not to an extreme. His name is Jeremy. He’s one of Queen’s many victims. Queen likes to harass all the guys, especially the busboys. They make it too easy. Anyway, Jeremy is 19. I like em young, but that’s too young for me. I was in such a great mood today, I decided to join in on the harassment. We all have one thing in common … we all like to pick on Pasco. She wasn’t there today, so it was open field for everyone. I just got a vision of Jeremy’s biceps … he’s got nice arms... no girlfriend either, what a shame. Ok, back to discussion at hand. Queen finally developed the pictures and I got my copy. I’ll try to have it scanned when I get back from Maui so I can post it for all of you.
I was at the gym today. Early this morning, before I got ready to go to work. So, I’m on this machine, the Precor. It’s like a stepper. I’m doing my thing, getting into my workout, and out of nowhere this bitch gets on the machine next to me. I swear to God, no exaggeration, she must have POURED a bottle of perfume all over herself. Lucky me had to be downwind of her smelly ass. So, I start sneezing and I’m telling the guy I was engaged in conversation with what that nasty smell was. She looked at me like who the fuck I was. Then I went off about women who workout with a shitload of makeup on their faces … like this chick had. This ain’t no fucking beauty pageant, ok? How the hell can anyone wear so much makeup then get all sweaty? It’s beyond me. All my friend could do was laugh. He laughed so hard, I thought he was going to fall off the machine. Well, miss stinky got the message, or something, cause she got off and moved to the other side of the room. Ohhhh yeah … fresh air once again.
Well people, I’m out of here. I’ve got to finish packing and get my paper work together. Have a great weekend, and I’ll catch you later!

Pidgin Words of the Day:
An den – and then
Broke da mout’ – delicious tasting
Bussum out – share with me, I want some
First of all, I just wanted to say a big "happy birthday" to my friend Imua. Happy Birthday dude!
I am so tired I don’t even know why I bothered to sign on tonight. I just got back home from my son’s Band Concert. What was SUPPOSED to be for only an hour and 45 minutes turned out to be a little over three hours. It took that long because the Band Director is retiring and they decided to do a little tribute to him. So, the 7th grade band was the first to play … boring … I’m sorry, but they were. They played five quick songs, thank God. Second was the 8th grade band. They played four songs and they sounded really good. The stars of the show were the Symphonic Band that consists of mainly 8th graders and a handful of 7th graders. This band is commonly referred to as the “Top Band”. You had to be hand picked by the Director to play with this group. This was Christopher’s second year in this band. The first song they played was “The Great Gate of Kiev” from “Pictures at an Exhibition” by Modest Moussorgsky. The second piece was “Marche Militaire Francaise” by Camille Saint-Saens. The first of two of my favorite pieces tonight was “Machine” form “Fifth Symphony” by William Bolcom. Christopher was one of five students that were featured, he played xylophone. The 4th number was “Air for Wind” by Melvin Shelton. My next favorite piece was “Symphonic Movement” by Vaclav Nelhybel. Once again Christopher was featured with an awesome solo on the xylophone. I was VERY proud of him tonight. All the time Sianna was making the “choke” gesture, I was beaming with pride for my son. He did extremely well for someone who just started playing that instrument only 5 months ago. Next was “Pavanne” from “Symphonette No. 2” by Morton Gould. The finale of the show was “Man of La Mancha” by Mitch Leigh, arranged by Frank Erickson. All in all, the kids did an excellent job tonight.
I was gonna write a little review about the concert, I think I’ll save that for another time. I’m starting to pass out and I need some sleep. I have to get up early and pick up my plane tickets and do a whole shit-load of errands before my flight on Saturday. Someone else could have done what I need to do this weekend, but you know how that saying goes … if you want it done RIGHT the first time, you gotta do it yourself … or something like that. Oh well, I hear my bed a callin’…
Aloha po,

Hawaiian words of the Day:
Aloha aui nala – good afternoon
Aloha po – good night
‘Olu ‘olu – please
Kala mai ia iu – excuse me
Hurricane season came 3 days early in the Pacific Ocean this year. The season starts on June 1st, and lasts through November 30th. The first one of the season is called Hurricane Adolph … just several miles off of Mexico. It’s been classified as a level 4 hurricane (maximum sustained winds of 131-155mph). As of yesterday, Hurricane Adolph had maximum sustained winds of 145mph. I’m a hurricane watcher. Actually, every year I bid on hurricanes. What we do is make a chart with dates – June 1st through November 30th – and whomever wanted to bid got to put their name on the chart and guess the date, time, level, what island it will hit and what the first letter of the hurricane’s name will be. So far, it’s been three years since anyone has won. So, the monies get carried over to the next year. We are long overdue for a hurricane. I think this may be the year for one. The last hurricane was back in September of 1992 … Hurricane Iniki. It devastated the island of Kauai. The one before that was Hurricane Iwa back in November of 1982 … just two days before Thanksgiving. That one happened my Senior year in highschool. It was awesome. The sirens went off during second period. Most of my friends headed for the North Shore … dumbasses … just to see the massive waves the storm was generating. Anyway, I got calls to make about a certain bet I want to wage.
Ok, now I’m sad. My friend Jodi left tonight. At this moment she is about 45 minutes into her flight. We had a nice time this visit. Too bad Malia couldn’t be here with us. We are making a pact, we got our 20th year highschool reunion coming up in two years, and we all agreed to be here.
I got an invitation the other day to a bachelorette party in June. My friend from work, Jen, is getting married. She invited a bunch of us from work and we found out that there will be strippers. Ahh strippers … I can’t wait. I’m saving up my dollar bills, baby! Two birthdays ago I had not one, but TWO strippers at my party. I got to know one of them a bit more intimately than the other one … if ya get my drift. I’m gonna get Queen to get all freaky with the stripper … I pity the guy, he won’t know what hit him.
Christopher will be having his Band Concert tomorrow night. It’s the last performance of the school year. He’s been stressful all month. He’s been given the most difficult pieces to play. He’ll be playing the snare drum, xylophone, tympani and bells. I’ll have a review of the concert in tomorrow’s entry. After the concert, Chris will be able to rest for about a week before he has to head up to the highschool to audition for what instrument he’ll play for the marching band. It was recommended that he audition for Quads. He wants to audition for either that, snare, or bells. Good luck sweetie!
It was an awesome Memorial Day Weekend … where the weather was concerned. Hardly a cloud in the sky. I don’t know what the fuck happened today though … out of nowhere came the rains. And it rained like a bitch! It just needs to slow the hell down before the weekend comes … which by the way, I am headed for Maui on Saturday. I got some business to take care of. More about that later.
I’ll be heading out of here now, long day tomorrow.
Behave and be safe,
Hapa
