Hula and Surf


Surfed. Kiana hula performance.

51 years old and I still cant get enough water time in my soul.

Caught some really good waves today - amazing the way this makes a difference in my brain.

Thank you; Mother Ocean.

Trudge on.

Dreams

They are coming to my dreams. All those calls.

This sure is not fun.

I (we) did my (our) best.

Leave me alone.

Floating

Suspended in mid-air, I remember falling. Falling forward as it was. The thing is, I had seen the cars headlights leaving the closing Chili's restaurant; I had actually thought about the chance of it being a drunk driver head the wrong way into my path down the one direction divided highway. When I hit the ground (over the handle bars, missing karanging my head by how? - tucking it in, I guess) I knew it was one of those "this is gonna hurt" moments in my life.





Kekoa; "Motorboat"


The resulting injuries (broken clavicle, fractured ribs front/back, road rash, and the late onset of fluid around my heart) was not the worst of it. I think the worst part was going over and over the fact of how close that was. It is funny how everytime I pass that area, I seem to remember floating in mid-air, right before the impact. I dont remember the hit; I do remember the pain, and almost blacking out. I remember riding the mo-ped the rest of the 8 miles home, trying to breathe; and not doing a very good job of that.

It was so close.

I wonder out loud what would be now, with the boys and Kiana, Maile; if things were not as fortunate?

It seems like when things get rotten in Denmark; that all that pain was nothing but an excercise in preperation for more pain.

Damn.

Tired.

Aloha.

Statement.

He kane au; he pua oe.


Do you remember when we first met
I sure do
It was some time
In early September
You were lazy about it
You made me wait around
I was so crazy about you
I didn't mind
So I was late for class
I locked my bike to yours
It wasn't hard to find
You painted flowers on
Guess that I was afraid
That if you rode away
You might not roll back
My direction real soon
Well I was crazy about you then
And now the craziest thing of all
Over 10 years have gone by
And your still mine
We're locked in time
Lets rewind

Do you remember
When we first moved in together
The piano took up the living room
You'd play me boogie woogie
I played you love songs
You'd say we're playing house
Now you still say we are
We build our get away
Up in a tree we found
We felt so far away
Though we were still in town
I remember watching
That old tree burn down
I took a picture that
I don't like to look at

Well all these times
They come and go
Alone don't seem so long
Over 10 years have gone by
We cant rewind
We're locked in time
But your still mine

Do you remember?



I Cant Hardly Wait - The Replacements

I'll write you a letter tomorrow
Tonight I can't hold a pen
Someone's got a stamp that I can borrow
I promise not to blow the address again

Lights that flash in the evening,
Through a crack in the drapes

Jesus rides beside me
He never buys any smokes
Hurry up, hurry up, ain't you had enough of this stuff
Ashtray floors, dirty clothes, and filthy jokes

See you're high and lonesome
Try and try and try

Lights that flash in the evening,
Through a hole in the drapes
I'll be home when I'm sleeping
I can't hardly wait

I can't wait. Hardly wait.


Kaleo -

What a great suprise
its been sometime
How have you been
can you come on in
Let me take your coat
to cover up the note
I wrote you yesterday
telling you the way

I am without you
Because I'd be lost forever
if you slipped away
Blue eyes your the reason
for my change
Blue eyes your the reason for my change

I'm doing alright
I was only driving by
and thought I'd say hello
Since you never called
have you thought at all
Is there anybody new
Cuz oh no what I'd do
without you

Because I'd be lost forever
if you slipped away
Blue eyes your the reason
for my change
Blue eyes your the reason
for my change

Honestly I feel
I won't heal
I just can't go on without you
I just can't go on without you

Because I'd be lost forever
if you slipped away
Blue eyes your the reason
for my change
Blue eyes your the reason
for my change
Blue eyes your the reason
for my change
