Maui Wowie

Happy Easter everyone, I hope you all had a fun weekend, I sure did. Here's just a few pictures from my weekend in Maui

Happiness is a Decision

As Easter approaches, I have been able to speak with all of you between the birthday celebrations, vacations, and crazy daily lives that I miss dearly, but have been able to reflect on how lucky and blessed we all our. We have an amazing family that I am very grateful for. I have been able to experience so much in my life because of all of you and I want to thank all of you for that. Although I will be away for Easter for the second time in 23 years, it will not be any easier. I will miss celebrating with all of you but will be thinking about you. I will be spending my Easter weekend in Maui, and I am hoping the Easter bunny will be able to find me there. What time does the Easter egg hunt start? I might be out of luck this year since I will have a 6 hour late start. I hope all the kiddos enjoy their Easter festivities and hunts. Someone please place broccoli in a bunch of the eggs for the cousins as I would do if I were there.

Happy Birthday Mini Doug and Magoo

Sorry for the serious post, next one will be back to my shenanigans that I get into in Maui.

You gotta have heart,

Aloha,
I hope you are all doing well. I have a lot of pictures and I apologize if they are scattered or out of order but I tried to get as many as possible in here. The pictures are from Lankai beach (supposedly rated as the nicest beach in America), some surfing I did at White Plains beach, and our 'Sunset Cruise' we went on called Mai-Tais. I was the one on the cruise who got completely soaked so I think they felt bad and were even quicker with my drinks although they warned me about my seat and getting wet and I of course did not listen. But about 12 Mai-Tais and 5 beers made the sunset even more beautiful. I miss you all will report back soon.

St Patty's Day

Another interesting holiday of mine. I started drinking around 10 AM, but with all girls so you either drink excessively to deal with them or you don't drink that much because they have 2 beers and are drunk. When in Rome. So we went to China Town which was supposed to have a big celebration. I think we were a bit early. Things weren't too crazy, we were told they get better later on. I did break my lenten promise this day and had some chicken wings and probably the worst corn beef sandwich in my life. I met a weird old woman with red hair named Terry. After Chinatown, we went into Waikiki to an Irish place called Kelly's where i broke out some of my irish step dancing moves. Next we went to a bar across the street called Moose's. Sitting at the bar with 4 girls at least got me a free shot of Jameson, and another few more because the girls couldnt take them. Yes. While I was sitting at the bar, the older woman next to me ordered food. In a drunken state, I must have been salivating over the cheese fries sitting in front of her because I began to talk to her for only one reason. So she would give me her cheese fries. And she did. After speaking with her for a while, and cleaning her plate, I realized that the bartender was her son so I was able to get some other drinks through this conversation. This lasted for about 40 minutes until it was time for me to wake up and realize what was going on. We eventually headed home and it was an early night for me. In conclusion, Hawaiians don't celebrate my day as they should but at least I always celebrate as I should. That is all for now, spring break has commenced. WAHOO.
Peace, love, and Orange Tic-Tacs

Weekend

I apologize for being a bit behind, just trying to fit in with the culture and lifestyle here by doing everything slow and not on time. When in Rome. We went out the other day, some of the girls met their navy guys out and i took advantage of this by 'letting the United States government pay to get me' drunk as i told by one of our servicemen. Of course he wanted to continuously take shots of Jack Daniels (my kryptonite) however I got them back as I switched us to Jameson, with them still paying of course. And no, I did not get any of their numbers, so save those comments! We were supposed to go to a place called The Yardhouse but ended up at Coconut Willys. Yardhouse has about 300 different beers on tap but Willy's had $3 frozen margaritas. Tomato Tomatoe. Saturday I went to the North Shore and walked around the small town up there, kind of hippyish but fun. Sunday I went to mass and was going to go to the beach but it was raining, very harsh I know. Here are a few pictures from the weekend.

Last Week

I apologize for being a bit behind these days, I have been quite busy. Last week we went out for a few beers one night during the week so one of the girls could meet some guy out. It was a cool place not far from our house and was a fun night. However, at the end of the night, only one person went home with a guys number and that somehow ended up being me. I guess this was my punishment for going out with 4 girls. Save the jokes. I know what you are all thinking. Some guy started talking to me, and ended up telling me about his son for some reason, but decided I should have his number when I was leaving, not quite sure of his intentions. I was ridiculed enough by the ladies, no need to further it.
On Friday night we went out in Wakiki. We went to Senior Frogs and then another bar. Going out with 4 girls allowed me to cut a line of 50 people and get in with no charge. Point of this story, going out to bars with 4 girls has its pros and cons.
Saturday was rainy, but yesterday was nice and we were able to go to the beach.
As for work, I have recently obtained an application for a Taco Bell/Pizza Hut. I am thinking about lying about my college credentials to give myself a better chance at employment. We will see. Hope nobody has a case of the Mondays.
Peace, love, and Irish Soda Bread

Sunday

After Serpentor left, we went to the beach for a few hours Sunday afternoon, it was quite relaxing.

How did the farmer fix the hole in his jeans?

With a cabbage patch.

Peace, love, and Scuba Steve

Changed in Latitude, Changes in Attitude

Jimmy Buffett came to town. He was met rudely by Serpentor, fresh off a long flight feeling cranky and full of vodka. They did not have a nice meeting, and Serpentor has been asked to leave the island and to never return, however we know Serpentor does not respond well to demands such as though. Anways, Jimmy was good in concert, from the few minutes that I do remember. Side note, frozen margaritas should not be served to those individuals appearing inebriated in the concert arena. Goodnight. After making an early exit saturday night, I was fresh for Sunday for another day at the beach although I did believe it was Saturday. I drove to the beach and I am starting to learn my way around the area a bit better. I must be going now, time to walk the doggies.



Peace, love, and NY snowstorms

Friday

TGIF, right?!? Tell me about it... Today I have a date with a bottle of vodka and the beach. I'm hoping things go well, tune in later for an update. February is almost over and although it does not change much around here, I'm sure most of you are looking forward to spring weather which will be nice. I have been listening to bama breeze and havana daydreamin in preparation for tomorrow with JB, i apologize in advance for any late night phone calls you might receive.....

A woman burst out of the examining room screaming after her young physician tells her she is pregnant. The director of the clinic stopped her and asked what the problem was. After she tells him what happened, the doctors had her sit down and relax in another room and he marched down the hallway where the woman’s physician was and demanded, “What is wrong with you? Mrs. Miller is 60 years old, has six grown children and nine grandchildren, and you told her she was pregnant?” The young physician continued to write his notes and without looking up at his superior, asked, “Does she still have the hiccups?”

Keepin it coaster,

Mass

I went to mass yesterday at Resurrection of Our Lord, a new church not far from my house. It was very nice inside, white priest who seemed normal. They had a section of the church called the 'Babies' Choir' which was a sound proof room with a glass wall so they could see the mass but anyone with young kids went in there so they wouldnt cry during the mass, I thought that was quite interesting. Today is Thursday, I believe, which means 2 more days until Jimmy boy is in town and i am rockin out.

Peace, Love, and ice pops

Heyo

Happy Ash Wednesday to all,

What are you giving up for lent? I will be giving up meat, junk food, candy, and biting my nails. I might have to break the meat one when I go to a Luau but we will see. I am going to mass later to get ashes, not sure what they were here to mass, but either way I'm sure I will stick out, just how I like it.

Short and sweet today, got to get on the grind.

peace, love, and snack packs

More Hike

Hike

On Sunday we went on a 2,000 foot hike to the top of Kulo'ou'ou' or something like that. It did get steep towards the top, and I did fall flat on my face at one point, but it was fun, the views were amazing.
