I've been running around a bit these last few weeks trying to get some stuff accomplished with the hopes of a new job. Unfortunately I came up short once again in that game and I am back on the hunt for something else. So I will be coming home for Christmas on the 17th and am looking forward to it. Well I'm off to the doctor to try and get a new prescription of my inhaler but will drop some more lines in the next few. Until then, enjoy the new photos.

A pretty mellow week out and about on the lovely Big Island. It started out with me making a nice long trek to Makalawena last monday, which definitely seems longer than I remember it. I walk it at night, which has its pros and cons, but I think I favor it better than the hot sun of the day. I have a very small chance of being picked up by someone but it is very cool even chilly the later in the walk it gets. Surf picked up once I moved north a bit and I found a bodyboard at Kua Bay on one of my water runs to Kua Bay which was a nice mix up for stuff to do. I got in a couple of dives this week at Otec and Puako, which felt gret to get back into the diving since I haven't been breathing underwater in about two weeks. I should of mention it last week, but I did finally, after two years, finish The Brothers Karamazov and it is definitely the greatest and most enjoyable piece of literature I have ever read in my life. I then read As I Lay Dying this week and it was pretty solid but seemed much like a short story since getting off the Dostoevsky band wagon. I am almost through In Our Time by Hemingway and then onto Cormac Mcarthy's first novel The Orchard Keeper. Well her are some shots for the week, enjoy ;)

Week Won!!!

Back from my first week of being out in the bush and it went pretty well. Couple busted up toes and some gnarly blisters but I'll get over it I think. I spent Three days down at Makolea the black sand beach and then three days up at a beach in between Makalawena and Kua Bay. I like to call the second beach Sandy Roach. I seems to fit it nicely when night time roles around and the cockroachs come out by the hundreds. Pretty disturbing at first but you kinda get used to the little buggars as soon as you find they have been sleeping beside you in your tent. Well I have been slaying the fish so I have been eating like a king of late. I pulled a huge dumb ass and tried to haul my 25lbs of water across the lava fields and inevitably exploded two of my toes. Fortunately I proved myself wrong when I thought I broke my toe, so for that I'm pretty lucky. Other than that, my routine has been to swim and fish in the morning and to read and nap in the afternoon. Weather has been fantastic and the water nice and calm. Tough life I'm livin'.

Well, I haven't said anything for a while because my computer is officially pau (This post is from a friends computer). It, along with all my other stuff, has been put into storage and has now left my house empty.  I have also acquired a nice little cold for me to enjoy for the last few days, which has left me bored out of my mind.  No books, no guitar, no internet and pretty much no Tv because I forgot that there is never anything decent on. 
One thing that did catch my attention was the comments made by Joe Biden and the follow up comments made by Colon Powell.  Joe Biden said that we can expected an International crisis within the first six months of Obama's Presidency (Obama is going to win, but I don't really care which puppet gets into office).  He went on to say that it could be one of about four or five scenarios, but guaranteed that one of them WILL happen to "test" Obama.  A short time later Colon Powell comments on this saying that Biden's comments are true that "something" will happen and that "it" will happen around January 21st or 22nd.  I just wanted to document this to see what event arises in the near future and to see the playing out of these predictions.  I don't have any faith in this government and it wouldn't surprise me if another "9/11" took place to create another war opportunity, to help bring us out of this economic slump. All I know is that if america was "attacked" again (or israel was attacked), the sheep-like american people will rally behind President Obama and jump on another War band wagon, just like in 2001 for Bush.  But we will see, won't we.

Bike.

Instead of paying my insurance or wasting money on more gas I decided to buy a bike. Pretty stoked on it. I figure it is only a matter of time before I wouldn't be able to afford either so might as well invest in it now. Speaking of investing the Dow Jones has fallen once again another 600 points and apparently has declined 39% in the past year. Today also marks the one year anniversary of the highest it had ever been. Don't really know why I am talking about this so anyways.............

So for the past few years I have some how developed a bit of a fear of heights. I can't really recall the exact incident that caused it and maybe there isn't one; Spent to much time underwater or to many falling dreams I suppose . But the reason I'm talking about this is that I found this really rad spot that has this pretty big archway that you can jump off. I was checking it out and finally decided I was going to jump. It was kinda nice cause there was no one around so I could comfortably act like a jackass trying to get the nerve to step off. It took me a few minutes and I had totally forgot how freakin weird that falling feeling is. Dream like for sure; Prolly have a few of those tonight after all the jumping today. Anyways the fucked up thing was, was that it wasn't getting any easier to step off even after jumping 10 times or so. I don't know, I just felt like kinda rambling so there it is and now I'm done...

I must be dreaming

I watched a bit of the Presidential debate this evening. I'm not going to go into anything they said, but I wanted to express just how incredibly disgusted I am on what this country has turned into. I still just don't understand how people can let people with no fucking integrity or morals, lead them around like sheep. I don't see how people cannot see through this. Makes me sick.

So I had another just off the wall dream last night. Actually, it wasn't at night it was at about 7-8 o'clock this morning; This is when I seem to be having the crazy ones of late. But anyways so it starts out that I'm wading through this fountain, that suddenly seems to be a swamp, at the base of this mountain. I find this drainage grate that flows under the mountain and it is loose. So I yank it out and proceed to crawl through it. All this time I have this overwhelming feeling that I am trying to uncover something that is secret; I don't really know what, but I know its there. So I crawl through into this mountain and its an underground canal system that's all lit up. I end up walking around and they keep turning from the canals to the halls of my high school and back again. So I end up coming up to a security check point and I am informed that this is where hotels store there food in shipping containers. There are hundreds lined up siting in the water. But they find me to be to nosy so they kick me out because they are afraid I'm going to steal some of the food. So at this point I find myself alone again but I realize that the secret is that they have my grandparents swimming pool hidden in these canals and immediately find myself at the pool outside. Its cold, gloomy and the pool is all broken down with chipped up edges and dirty water. Definitely not how I remembered it as a child and I find myself deathly afraid of the water. I felt like as soon as I had the feeling of being afraid of the water I fell in, gasped and woke up.

Another strange one to go down in history. I don't know what I've been doing of late to encourage these dreams, but I'm quite enjoying it.
