island sushi

went with the techs to eat dinner. it was right across the street. and at the same time i needed to leave my place for a bit. All this sickness being passed around was being trapped in my room. Rest was doing me good but i Just needed to get out.

beatboxing

for some reason i stumbled onto beat boxing on youtube. Then i remembered listening to rahzel. Every one know his famous beat box "if your mother only knew." And I gotta say, that piece was pretty impressive. Then I saw sexy back and the way he pulled it off was insane.

random pic random thoughts

got bored. after going through different blogs, decided to make my own sig for my photos. fortunately, i stumbled on to gendell's page and got a small idea of what to do. Anyway, i constantly reminisce about the beach and my escape back at home. So i pulled up this pic. :: sigh :: oh i miss "White plains."

breezy but uncool work day

work today wasnt so fun. rain made the yard wet and soggy. As some of you know, I work at the recycling yard @ unlv. So while i started making my runs collecting cardboard, the wind started to pick up. I felt the cold before I left, so I decided to wear 5 layers and it was still cold. At least it was enough for me to last majority of the work day.


I decided to look up some music that my ukulele teacher taught us in the past. Very relaxing. I love listening to the melody. He always taught me the very essence of playing music and not noise. And this right here is Terry Brown ukulele music. relax and enjoy. ALOHA!

watching surf dvd's

While i was back home I shopped at the various surf shops just to see the type of new shirts and gear they had. I myself am not a surfer but i do bodyboard, or at least try to for the most part. So upon entering hawaiian Island creations @ Pearlridge, I watch a dvd that's being played on the outside tv screen. my fascination for the waves get me hooked on wanting to watch these dvd's. Fortunately, while in vegas, i subscribed to netflix (highly recomended). Just my luck, they carry surf dvd's. How awesome is that. Today i watched an instant dvd (streamed dvd through your computer or xbox 360 :D ) called bustin the door down.

This dvd showed the history of surfing back in the 70s. Surfing has been around for decades and one of the best surf spots in the world is said ti be on the North shore of oahu. Pretty crazy cuz me and a couple of people in the program talk about surfing and how the north shore is run by "the Hui."

said to be the most feared group on the north shore. "Da hui" stands for something greater than bullying around tourists who try to make their way to the shores. Many people say they are notorious for giving you a beatdown if you take their wave. Which for the most part I believe is true. Da hui was started back in the late 70's because of the aussies who tried to run hawaii. They were pretty good at what they did and got cocky with it. They then tried to publish an article saying that they were the top surfers compared to the Hawaiians, and the Hawaiians couldn't take any more from them. Thus Da hui was formed. pretty crazy dvd.
I just love watching the waves barrel and how crazy it must be to get caught in one of them.

waves can get pretty crazy out there. i love the water but i doubt i can ever be caught in a huge barrell someday. The force of the wave is just to massive. or what us hawaiians would say. "da ting is animal"!
