Thoughts From My Own Corner of the World

The lament of a slacking blogger…. September 11, 2009

Wow! I cant believe that it has been about a month since I last updated you all on my life out here in HI! Ive been busy with the end of summer classes and visitors from the mainland, and now the beginning of the Fall semester! In fact Im really tired, and its now 1:45am as im finally updating my blog. So lets begin…

Summer classes went really well. My grades overall were satisfactory, even though I would have loved a higher grade in Cold War, but alas my brain had turned to much after 6 hours a week of flat out discussions on Sino-Soviet relations by the end, and my participation within the class dropped in relation to my brain failing me….so I deserved the grade I recieved. While I loved that class it was a tough go cramming it all in in a matter of weeks rather then months. Oh well, it was my last ever Summer class at HPU. So kinda sad too.

As my summer came to an end, Jessie and Bobby came out for a visit. I dont think I have done that much island traveling tourist trap touring since I first moved out here. But it was fun, and Jessie got to experience first hand the evil that is my stairs, while I got to embarrass myself on stage at a Luau. All in all, i think they had fun, and I was exhausted by the time they left. Visitors wear me out! And i have 2 more to come while im in class this fall. At least their only requests involve another luau and just general fun. And of course I will probably end up looking like a lobster yet again. Heck Im still peeling from 2 weeks ago!

Now fall classes are in and I have already spent one night out drinking with classmates and professors, and will be vernturing out yet again tomorrow. I cant believe im going to say this, but im kinda partied out! Can I please just chill for awhile?!   I know it wont happen this week or next week, seeing as how they have all decided that since next week I am turning 29, they have all decided that I must have a “massive” celebration for my last birthday in my 20s. I just want to sleep! But then again, I think that would be the desire of any insomniac like myself!

Well I have definately gained some really great friends out here, and have spent countless hours doing random things with them. For example, spending multiple hours looking at Halloween costume ideas with Selina…I have decided to go as a bleeding heart this year. At least the costume will be simple! Im all about simple. I was debating between mobster, zombie, vampire, parrot, stick figure, an anorexic (yes the irony!), the cowardly lion, a flapper, and much much more, but then I had the genious idea of the bleeding heart and my mind is set. All I need now is my pashmina (hint hint Rich!) and my attire will be complete!

Well I am off to relax and try and sleep although I know I will fail miserably at that!

Later!

 

A bad PETA Idea, the best sucession plan ever, and some Michael Jackson November 7, 2008

For all of you who remember me blogging about the Waikiki Halloween Thriller performance, then heres the Official video from them…Enjoy!

 Halloween Thriller Video

Remember when your mom told you not to play with fire?  Well apparently a Georgia man didnt listen.  While cleaning his blow torch, he set his house on fire.  Now thats one lesson that was learned the hard way!

Well I have officially learned that as an individual you can not pull a Homer Simpson and declare your home as a sovereign nation…a Florida couple tried, stopped paying their taxes, and then failed, and the county took their home.  Now they are being a nuisance by filing property liens against the government for failing to recognize their independent authority.  Although repeated failures, the couple remains optimistic that the government will eventually recognize and vindicate them!

PETA has officially lost it!  They are petitioning Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream to stop using cows milk, and start using breast milk from women…Now somehow I dont think that this will be a successful marketing technique for B&J. I agree with the following quote from a fellow Daytonian: “It’s kind of creepy,” said Jeff Waugh, 42, of Dayton, Ohio.

Well Im off to class, hopefully I remember what I read…have a good night!

Later!

Sally’s Blog:

“Halloween wsa fun!  I have never seen so many people in costume!  Kristina took me to Erik’s where there was a party on his roof, and everyone had fun.  My favorite costumes of the night among her friends was Melanie and her Greenpeace Massacre outfit.  Everywhere Kristina takes me we see or get stopped by Greenpeace people, so her costume was great!  Plus, she brought gummy worms and gummy bears…but I wasn’t allowed to have any because they were full of Vodka.  When we were walking around Waikiki, I saw a little dog all dressed up too!  I was happy to see another dog out and about on Halloween!  He was cute too!  Kristina and I didnt get home until close to 4am, and I am still tired. But I want to come back to Waikiki next year for Halloween! It was fun!”

Walking around Waikiki on Halloween

 

Well its almost 4am and I just got home…and I drank a bottle of Jager by myself (it was a smaller bottle)…and Im definitely feeling the winding down as the alcohol leaves my system…Erik and the gang are probably still at Level 4 partying it up in Waikiki, but I was afraid that if I stayed out much longer I would totally never make it home! 

Tonight was fun…Halloween in Waikiki is nuts!  Think wall to wall people, drinking, in costumes, with a little bit of Mardi Gras thrown in…Chaos….and I love it!  The best costumes I saw tonight…Teletubbies, Mario Bros, some guy who was completely naked except a few strings(his ass was totally showing), and the Michael Jackson group…where some guy dressed up as Michael and the rest of his friends were the zombies from the Thriller video…They performed and all…I thought I got them on video, but apparently my drunkenness didnt actually record the whole thing..I got like 2 seconds of footage of it…but it was awesome! 

We started at Eriks and then went to Level 4, where I left the group, and wondered Waikiki for a little but before heading home…I love the craziness!  Everyone should come to Hawaii next Halloween…they will have a guaranteed good time…

Well Im off…
