The Peeves of the Fu

It really isn't a great idea to start the day, bitching and whining about irritants.  But like doing PC desktop housekeeping, stripping off old wax, or taking out the trash, it needs to be done.  Everyone has pet peeves.  These are some of mine...

Orange Moon

Returning to my home of all homes, there are many things that will always remain constant.  Besides the ever growing ohana, the chickens that crow at two o'clock in the morning, the extremely vocal cows, the harmonious stray dog chorus and a town that goes silent at sundown.  Surrounded by pasture lands, macadamia nut farms, and reformed sugar cane fields that now serve up silky smooth robust ka'u coffee beans and the hide and go seek pakalolo patch, this home of all homes is blanketed by a crisp night sky, littered with millions of unvisited stars

The Unexplainable

Tears, laughter, dancing, talking, hugging, giving, more tears, more laughing, more...everything.  I recently attending a course that is extremely difficult to explain into words.  Even for one who is clever (or who thinks he is) with the English dictionary.  But here I am, hammering away at my keyboard, posting something about something that is virtually unexplainable.  Did I mention unexplainable?  So what words will be read in the following             paragraphs?  Hmm...I think I in inadvertently stumbled upon a Catch 22.

Holy Shit Shark

5:30pm. Courts, Ala Moana. A town break, known for its quick pitching face and high speed "rights". Another Honolulu afternoon begins its farewells. Sky, orange. The typical baby blue now shunned by the distant setting sun. The ocean, now a deep bluish-green. Tinted with mirrored images of orange clouds.

Last wave in. I'm pau...

Rewind. 2:30pm. Another gorgeous day in Hawaii. Time to catch the few remaining waves of the dying south swell. I take a quick spin through the park. Oogling over the bettys working on their tans. I parallel

Virtually Addicted (posted April, 11 2010 via Facebook)

Have you every noticed how fast technology is advancing? It may be faster than Clark Kent trying to find the shitter. With the recent launch of Apples iPad, I felt compelled to spit out more comical bullshit through the topic of tech. 

During my final years of High School, we juveniles were strapped on digital devices. On top of that, the ones we had at the time were pieces of shit, compared to todays standards. If you remember paging 07734 or 23778008 and turning it upside down or lugging the ten pound green screen gameboy with the overheating battery pack attached to your hip, then you can relate. In the subject of music, we were on

Food For Thought. E-coli Free. Part 1. (posted March, 16 2010 via Facebook)

Recently, my Facebook page has been acting weird, giving me a headache. Loading half-ass, stupid grey box doesn't go away after I poke someone, and trouble commenting on and publishing updates. Which may be a good thing. In my search through Google, tech forums, and countless blogs, I came across a few interesting articles. So interesting, they totally distracted me from seeking the answers I was looking for.

This quick Q&A interview with a Facebook Psychologist...who would of thought there was one...captured

News Feed Drama is Old News (posted March 13, 2010 via Facebook)


DRAMA is like the skin of deep fried chicken. You know having too much of it is bad for you, but....it tastes so damn good. Thats why we love movies like The Shawshank Redemption or digest endless pages of the Twilight Saga. Stories that captures our imagination and allows us , for that brief moment, to live vicariously through it's characters. For most of us, it's simply entertainment. For others, an escape of their own personal affairs. But these are works of fiction created for consumer enjoyment.

As for me, I have a shitload of real life drama. So does everybody else. Let me re-write this. You have a shitload of

2010 Hawaii Tsunami. Kipps Version.

February 27, 2010, Saturday morning 7:45 am. My cell phone is buzzing from a recent message. In white colored font with dark blue background, it reads...Kipp, tsunami warning. turn on the news.

It takes a while for both eyes to open in the a.m. One eye slowly opens and the other plays catch up for the next five minutes. This day was the complete opposite. Jolting out of bed, I quickly turned the tv on to unknowingly begin, the waste of a picture perfect day in Hawaii. In other words, I could have gone surfing.
