Spent Any Time With Your Dog Today?

It's said that a dog ages seven years in the time it takes us humans to age one year. It's a good way for us to measure and understand the life span of our best friends.

So, using this method of measuring a doggie's life...

In about 52 days a year has passed for him...

In 24 hours, a week of his life went by...

Just about 3-1/2 hours is like an entire day to him...and,

An hour of human life is equal to about 8-1/2 minutes!

Life is to short! I think I'll put the computer away now and spend some time with Coby!

Voting in 2012

In this 2012 election season, I have a couple of observations and thoughts, and feel the need to log them down.

A lot of things are at stake these days, and on the local level a very important issue is O'ahu's rail transit system. While the construction of it has already started and it seems already in full motion, there is one candidate who's not in favor of the rail. Former governor Ben Cayetano in fact strongly opposes it. At this point I'm hearing reports on the news that he leads the way and is ahead of the other two candidates. It will be interesting to see how he does on the final ballot count as I feel it's safe to assume that the amount of votes he receives would be a barometer of just how many O'ahu folks support the rail!

As I watch the many political commercials being aired over and over and I ask myself: 'Why do some politicians feel that to get my support they need to point out their opponents faults and weaknesses?' It may earn them votes from some but for me it ensures that they don't have my support!

Long time no blog

I must admit, this blog along with all my blogs have been neglected for a long time!


Sorry blogs! I'll be sure to make it a point to update you on what's happening, and what I'm thinking about.

Noah's Eventful Birthday

As if it isn't enough that my brother turned twenty-nine yesterday on June 25, there were a few other notable occurances that also took place yesterday.

Unfortunately the construction business as well as most other businesses will not recognize your birthday as a holiday be it paid or not, and in Noah's case it wasn't even recognized as a good enough reason to get off a bit early. Oh well, we enjoyed dinner and a relaxing, mellow evening together and it was very nice.

One thing that took place totally overshadowed the media coverage. And that was the passing of the self-proclaimed "king of pop", Michael Jackson. At age 50, it was echoed throughout the radio and television waves, as well as the facebook community and twitterers that he had some type of heart failure and was pronounced dead. While reflecting on his life, the many, many great tunes that he brought to life played on the radio, recalling what an amazing talent he was.

There were specifically two things too yesterday that were in the news that made the day especially peculiar, other than M.J's death. Both Farrah Fawcet and Ed McMahon. both shared this as their last day here on earth with Michael Jackson.

But, again, a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! to Noah... thirty is just a short year away!! wow. that's pretty freaky! ...lol :)

2009 Kamehameha Day

A little over a week has past since Kamehameha day here in Hawaii nei. On June 11, the festivities took place for Kamehameha at Moku Ola, Coconut Island in Hilo complete with Hawaiian food, dance, music and games.

What made this day such a special one for me and my family was the special afternoon that we had. Me and Vynn were blessed to have Uncle Wede, Aunty Debi, and Julia come over and spend the afternoon with us. It was so nice to see Julia while she was visiting from Arizona. We were left with very warm memories of laughter and stories from the past. So much fun to gather with family, we can't do that enough!

Opihikao, Hawaii is lovely all year round

Truly, God shows His greatness here!

The sun comes up over the horizon and the breathtaking spectrum of colors paint the sky. The smell of salt fills the air as the raging sea crashes into the pure black lava rock and black sand that forms the shore. The leaves and the grass seem to grow greener, and the blue of the ocean and sky seem to appear deeper. The ocean is fruitful in producing fun, fish and life.

My song about Kauai island

Many songs in Hawaii are written about Kauai, and this would be mine

Kauai, an endless beauty
where I always dream to be.

I have only the fondest of memories
that still visits me in a sweet dream.

Kauai, also called the Garden Isle,
a fitting a name as one would see.

Upon visiting it will bring a smile
and a heart filled with glee.

I picture the place called Eden
and that picture is painted clear when

I know that Kauai is Hawai`i's Eden
and a place I imagine in this world to be heaven.
