Mauna Kea = Paradise!

So after two amazing shows in Japan, and a few weeks off, we're back at the practice space tightening up a few songs before we head back in the studio to finish up the record.

Getting a little bit of time off was good. Spent a week on Big Island. What a beautiful place. Paradise on Earth! Miss it already. Mauna Kea, thanks for letting me and my wife look at the stars...

CHEEEEHOOOOO!

I know that post was like a month ago and it's sad that I just found out about it now but it is so epically awesome that Ray came to Hawaii. And Not just Hawaii, but the Big Island (also called Hawaii) but thats the island I live on!! I wish I knew they came at the time they visited, I would've stalked them! Lol. Maybe not, it's be rude, but till, how awesomely awesome would that be if I ran into them? Well the picture that was taken was from Hilo Bay on the East Side and I live on the West. So yeah. Chee! Mauna Kea is so cools! Evewn though I haven't been there for almost 4 years. It is really nice. I wonder if they went up there. They probably did. And yeah, Hawaii is like on of the best places to see the star. It's wierd though cause a lot of people wish they could see them but us, we just don't care or bother to look up, we're always looking down =( But when I'm hanging out with all of my firends if if for any reason a lot of my family got togeter we'd always look at the stars and it's amazing. Especially late in the middle of the night. You know, sometimes it makes you think about how it was all created, and what could be living up there or what it's like. But yeah, YAY for mcr for coming to Hawaii!

09.11.09 - The Volleyball Game

Today me and my friends went to the 3rd volleyball game of the season, Kohala Cowgirls vs. Honoka'a Dragons. It was a loss. JV 1-2 and Varsity 2-1. We mainly went to just to cruz and hang out. It was me Anjulee, Delani, Brisa, Sharisse, Johnny, Shane, Saian, Andre, Alex, Daryl, Kiani, Kiana, Kawai, and some other people but mainly them. It was just cruzing, went to the diner and hung out there for a while, acted like a retard, played on the elementary playground, pretend to jack a golfcart, haha. Almost watched a fight. Then we took Kiani, Kawai, and Anjulee home. Then saw Andre and Shane walking and gave them a ride home. And I went back to my boring Grandma's house and missed out on a party at my aunty's house.

Wednesday - 09.09.09 School Wide Bonding 2009

So today we had our 2009-2010 school wide bonding themed "The Real World". I never got to go to my freshman year school wide bonding because at the time I and my family went camping. Well from what I heard this year was better than last years. It was pretty fun. We started off in the gym and the student council did like the huge dance tribute thing for Michael Jackson and they danced to some of his songs. Then our guest speaker Augie T. talked to us. And Honestly, I have no clue what he was talking about, wasn't really paying attention but I laughed my ass off we he said some funny stuff. CJ, Justin, and Tita were called up and they had to do this chicken cluck for like a contest. After it was recess then our sophomore class of 2012 went to the field for the out door activities. We were divided into three groups and my groups first activity was to fit like 22 people on like a 24" by 24" piece of wood, I forgot what those things were called. Like a platform thingy that you put boxes on, eh. Anyways, the next one was where we had the groups make like a barrier and we had to push this huge ass ball over to the other side of them. It was hectic. Like D went up against Jory and Jory freakin' rammed him with the ball and D went flying backwards. It was kind of fun, but life threatening lol. Then we put Austin and Kristine on the top and of the ball and pushed them. The last one was where we had to get from one side of this "spider web" to the other and you can only go through it. That one was a little unorganized but it was alright, people went flying through these holes, nothing big, haha. Then our class went into the library to talk about and discuss our responsibilities for this school year, Homecoming, Spirit Week, and Sophomore Hop. I though It'd be boring, but it wasn't at all, it was pretty interesting cause I missed out on all this stuff last year and no teachers talked and planed for us or told us what to do, our class president, vice president, treasurer, and secretary ran it. We then went to the gym and did a few more activities, this one obstacle relay race, human knot, and a bunch of stuff, mostly team building activities. Then we played duck duck goose. It was weird because we all kind of forgot how to play that. And this next one down in Mr. Kealoha's class was kind of boring and I played with a construction cone and a hula hoop the whole time and singing Michael Jackson with Ciera. After we played head up 7up. We forgot how to play that too. Then it was lunch. CHICKEN! And finally the water. I came to school not planning on getting wet but knew I was anyway. It started off with three garbage cans full of water balloons. It was fuckin war. All you see if balloons flying at you in every direction, it was awesome. Delani and I stole a bunch of water balloons and sat by my cousin Ikaika. That's where my water fun began. A bunch of my friends just come running up to me and flying water balloons. Then they got the fire engine to come and shoot us down with water. And then the slip and slide. It was fuckin awesome. It's just really cool seeing a crap load of people running down the hill and sliding. And I'm just standing there watching all the boys running each other over and then all my friends are pushing me down the thing and by then I didn't give a fuck I went on that thing like 50 times. I got all grassy and muddy, it was fun. I wish we'd have 2 school wide bondings, one in the beginning and one at the end of the year. Speaking of school, mid-quarter report cards came in, US History - B, English 2 - C, Geometry - D, Biology - C, AVID - B, Keyboarding - A, and Spanish 1 - B.

Wednesday - 07.29.09 Waimea Adventure

Oh I forgot about this one. We acutally have a lot of pictures on my friends myspace.

So I wake up at like 5am to get ready to catch the bus to Waimea at 6:45am and I end up missing it barely and my friend Anjulee is waiting at home like a dummy and Ema slept it. So I'm there by myself like an idiot then walk down to Anjulee's house and Ema does later and thankfully her mom takes us to Waimea. So we hang out at the park and around town from 8am to maybe 4 or 5pm. Haha, not really exciting. But it was. We ran around the field and playground like little kids and walked to starbucks, played with stuffed animals in Foodland, went back to the park, walked to McDonalds and the Deli for lunch, back to the park, and then to the food court. And We miss the fuckin bus back to Kohala which was why we were in Waimea for so long cause we had to wait for someone to pick us up. And then we see our former classmate, well, we went to the same school but he graduated c/o 09, Conn, and we're all like DUDE! YOU'RE OUR PLAN B FOR A WAY HOME!. Nah but it was nice to see him and talk a little. And thats that.

Saturday - 08.29.09 Cruzing at the Park

And another.

So today was the opening of the Gym, after 3 years they finally fixed and reopened it after the huge earthquake destroyed it in 2006. I almost didn't go, it started at like 10am and I slept in until my friends and borthers kept calling me cause they were all looking for me and the park and I was home sleeping and so they forced me down there and I'm glad I went because it was pretty fun. So I just hung out there with my friends Ema, Sharisse, Brisa, Daryl, Anjulee, Shane, Johnny, and Shyanne. We freakin stayed there till 6pm doing nothing but being bored then decided to walk over the Ema's house and Daryl and Shyanne had to leave. So we all get to her house and we're bored and start watching stupid ass videos on youtube and eating all their food, actually it was just Shane and it wasn't really nice because they don't have a lot of food. So me and Sharisse get bored and go outside and everyone follows then Ema's stupid brother Daniel comes with Cody, Isaiah, and Tyler and they're burning and smoking and thinking they're cool cause they're drinking whisky, kinda stupid. But yeah. That day was fun while it lasted. Wish I could be more enthusiastic.

Saturday - 08.15.09 Relay For Life

Yet another one.

So we had our traditional Relay For Life and even though its a really sad thing and a really great thing walking for people with cancer, its traditional that everyone comes just to hang out, this year it was at Kamehameha Park. So yeah all my friends and I decide to go to hang out and try to have a really great time. It was pretty well at the beginning but it turned out pretty crappy. I partially blame lame ass parents. But yeah, ended up going hame by myself at 1:30am. I'm sorry to say but a few of my friends were a little stuck up and left me behind, my other friends had to go home cause their lame ass parents, and I was stuck with people I never really wanted to be stuck with. It was kinda crappy.

Friday - 08.14.09 Welcome Back Dance

Heres another story I didn't get to till now. It's not very long, just to the point.

So this was only the second school dance I've ever been to in my life. The first was Sophomore Hop last year and nothing compared to that, first dance and it was the awesomest. Anyways yeah, the Welcome Back Dance was alright, pretty fun. The only sucky part was that we had no DJ cause our school is fuckin' poor and the seniors did it and they kept changing the songs in the middle of it and it got really annoying. But over all it was alright.

Monday - 08.03.09 First Day Of School

Never got the chance to post this story either. But i think my prospective on this school year changed a little. Like the classes are still unconvenient, but the people in my classes aren't that bad. The olny class I really hate is U.S. History, I have the most stupidest people in my class. And the thing that makes me the maddest about the freshmen is that the wierdos stole all our hangout spots and all of them, I mean theres a fuckin crap load of them, are all hanging out on the hallway railings whre all the awesome seniors hungout last year. grrr.

Today was my first day back to school as a sophomore! And it started off by waking up at 7:30am and being late for school. I got there right when the first bell rang. I never had a hard time finding my classes this time. It was really weird being back there and with all the new freshmen and no more of the old seniors c/o 09. I think it was alright, but when 2^nd period came around I was sick of it. I have a feeling it might be a really shitty year. Last year was the shit, which was why I was really looking forward to this year, but it really sucks so far. And all the people I have in my classes are so sucky and not chilled or cool or fun like the other ones last year. They're not convenient either. Talk about Sophomore Slump. I guess I jinxed myself. And with Lexi gone, everything already feels crappy. Walking around without her, it's like we're missing something really important, like me and Anjulee are only 2/3 full. I have a feeling its going to be a really crappy year. Hopefully it feels better by the end, I don't wanna just go on and miss one year of high school. But it was alright seeing everyone again. It was so funny watching the freshmen just group up in one tiny area right in the middle of the hallway and tagging along with other people. I don't think we were like that. And we did not tag along with any upper classmen. Especially not us. We did our own thing and people started to come to us. Freshman year was definitely the best year I've ever had. I told Brisa and Sharisse to make it last. Cause it's one hell of a year to just throw down the toilet and not enjoy. I got my iPod back from Andre today, one good thing. I think I have the crappiest classes. But anyways, walking around the school hallways again was so weird. I hope everything lightens up and I get along wit the people in my class. Last year it was really easy to talk to everyone in them and get along with them. Thank God I switched out of Photography and into Keyboarding. As much as I love photography, I hated the teacher and didn't have a camera anyways.

Saturday - 07.18.09 Adventure

Haha. Even though this was 2 months ago, it was pretty epic and I never got the chance to post!

Saturday morning I got ready to go to Kona then went to pick up Anjulee. I went to my eye appointment and we went to the theaters. When we got there we saw Daniel outside smoking. We went up to him, talked a little, and then the three of us went inside looking for the Ema and Sharisse. We turned the corner to the candy section and everyone is there sitting on the couch eating candy they didn't even pay for yet. Andre, Jacob, Sharisse, Ema, Keahi. We paid for our stuff and then go to theater and we're all in there running around like maniacs. Then we go in to Harry Potter and no one is in there and the entire time we were there we couldn't shut up. Everyone was talking. Then Sam came up. This was the seating: Jacob, Daniel, Keahi, Andre, Sharisse, Me, Ema, Anjulee, and Sam. We tried to watch it. We all watched, talked, watched, talked, and flew popcorn. . And when the hand came out of the water everyone jumped and screamed. All the stupid little 8^th graders in the row in front of us were so annoying. Those idiots got yelled at by someone. When the movie was finished we went into K-Mart and ran around that place like weirdoes. And then all of a sudden Andre, Jacob, and Keahi disappear. Then we see Daniel running to the front of the store and we're all like "WTF?" The bus was here. And we almost missed it. Sam went home and the rest of us caught the bus. Talked a little then fell asleep. Keahi on one row, Jacob across from him. Andre in the next, Daniel across. Ema in the next row, I was across from her. And Sharisse in the next with Anjulee across from her. It was like 3pm when we left. Then Sharisse yells, "PARTY AT EMA'S HOUSE!" So we all went home when the bus dropped us off. Grandma picked me up because she saw me walking up the hill. I went with Sharisse back to Ema's house and Brisa was already there. Not too long after Anjulee walked over. We watched YouTube videos and then set up Sharisse's tent while waiting for Andre guys to come. We put the tent on the balcony then threw it off the edge into the front yard. Andre, Jacob and Keahi came in his truck at about 7:30/8pm. We all kind of just hung around and Andre blasted his car radio and then a neighbor came and complained. I was getting kind of bored so I played with Andre's ukulele. Justin Thompson is driving around Ainakea in his truck and acting stupid so Andre, Daniel, Anjulee and I chase him around Ainakea and then to the park passing a cop while going maybe 35-40mph in a 25mph zone. We got back to Ema's and Jacob wanted to go to Lakeland to see his girlfriend. So Andre drove Jacob, Me, Anjulee and Daniel to Lakeland at about 9pm. Leaving Ema, Brisa, Sharisse, and Keahi there alone. On the way there we stopped on the road when it was going down hill and the truck was rolling up. On mountain road Jacob told us to look down at Waikoloa and it was shaped like a guitar. First time I ever heard or saw that. We started talking about books and Harry Potter and Eragon. We played the game where we put down all the windows and who ever was to complain first about the coldness loses. Andre and Daniel were complaining about it the whole time and Daniel put on his jacket. Jacob put his window up. Me and Anjulee was the only one who lasted the whole time. Anjulee's and Daniel's parents kept calling and pretty much from the time we left to the time we came back we made up some shit so we wouldn't get into trouble. We got to Lakeland and waited for a little while and I found a jacket in the truck and just put it on because it was freezing, I had no clue whose it was. We all had a cig except for Jacob. Then Jacob's girlfriend and cousin came out of the bushes. And then I found out I knew them from Waimea Middle School, her name was Kamalani and Maceo, I used to call him maggot, they were both really annoying. So there were two Kamalani's. I was playing Michael Jackson in Andre's truck and Daniel hated me and he'd always say, "Kamalani." just so that the two of us would look and he'd laugh. I lost my phone in the truck and everyone stopped what they were doing to help me look for it. After everyone gave up I found it. Then lost it again. It was really cold and we all wanted to leave already so Andre thought he'd be nice and take them home. He drove up the road and they said they're going the wrong way. They told him to turn around and he did then they said to go back up. So he went around and then they said that he went the wrong way and Andre gave up and dropped their asses off right where we met them. We went back to Waimea and Jacob bought us McDonalds. He bought 5 cheese burgers and 5 chicken burgers off the dollar menu. While ordering we took forever cause we were confused and the lady was confused and we couldn't see the menu and we were singing the "Genitals" song. I had one Cheese burger and Andre, Daniel, and Jacob ate the other 9 burgers. I thanked him for food because none of us ate anything except candy, not even the four at home. And they were pretty mad when they found out we had McDonalds and they all pretty much saved our asses from getting in trouble with the police and parents. Then we went to go put gas and Jacob paid for that too. We picked up this guy that Jacob and Andre used to work with and he had to sit in the back and he was freezing and got rained on. We talked about our weirdest dreams, I had a billion but I couldn't think of any then. We didn't come back till about 11:30pm/12:00am. They picked up Keahi and Andre and Jacob left. Andre has my iPod. Me, Anjulee, Ema, Sharisse, and Brisa were going to sleep in the tent outside but we kept talking and it was pouring. Then a huge hole ripped in the tent and we carried the tent into the house at 3am and everything was soaked. Ema made us some food and we went back to her room to go to sleep but didn't go to sleep till 5:30am. Woke up at 9 to go to church. Which was the first time I went since school, I hate it. Came back and watched The Slum Dog Millionaire. And we all tried on my colored contacts then watched YouTube till everyone eventually left.
