It’s finally started raining again here in Hawaii. Hopefully it’ll continue, as we’ve been in a pretty bad drought.

From a western standpoint, rain is almost considered a bad omen or at least undesirable. Hawaiians actually count it as a blessing. I’m starting to see it that way. Many times the things that I was conditioned to loathe are the things that end up being the biggest blessings.

I started to upload older stuff onto flickr. I’m not sure how this site will turn out yet, but it’ll probably end up being migrated over and made my actual website. Wordpress is pretty cool in that you can do almost anything with it. So here’s the flickr address: my flickr site
Hope everyone is doing great

Energy drinks. Energy drinks are phenomenal.

I spent the weekend sucking down energy drinks like a Mario Brother eats mushrooms. You can never, never have too many of them. Nope. Not possible. Now I know what your thinking. Aren’t those things bad for you. No, of course not.

(I’ll pause while you shake your head) Done? ….

OK, ok, so maybe they’re not the greatest. After all, it does seem a bit odd that as a society we’ve sort of come to the point where we shy away from stuff like water, milk, or fruit juice. You know… natural stuff. Furthermore, from a sheer marketing perspective it seems odd that we’d rather pound things with titles like “monster”. I mean could you imagine seeing that old Sunny D commercial now days? Let’s see we got milk, purple stuff and….. MONSTER energy drink.  (children chime in:) YEAH Ma GIMME A MONSTER! Am I totally off in saying that doesn’t sound right?

Anyways that’s all for the randomness. Take is easy all.
