life takes curious turns...and like a slalom racer speeding down a hillside - you need the skill and ability to go with them passing through each gate successfully moving closer to the goal.

Let's Talk story?

Anyone who knows me - knows I can talk story - lately though my most captivated audience fo talk with has been my son - and well he's beginning to understand language and words he's learning and how to craft some surprisingly witty -isms of his own...the conversation isn't shall we say rocket science. So i have found that I'm doing a hella lot more "self talk". That chattering to oneself - conversations about the moment, about thoughts, feelings, the future - where I've been - where I'm going. And well your mind is kinda a crazy thing to talk story with - cause once you open that up -- it's really hard to turn of the "portagee."

shoots
mtv new inferno is on and old timers are battling it out on the hang...goodbye cowboy...other reality tidbits that have tickled my noodle include - the mysterious early drop out of Mario V. from this season's AI competition...meanwhile - I'm doing my part to support 2nd runnerup Jasmine by getting her $1.99 debut Hawaii only CD single - it's on ebay already as very rare - signed copies are starting at $6.50 - there were already 6 bids on the item...maybe I should pick up a few more copies and list them....Hmmm? after that Starbuck's hula card that has earned one girl $3,000 in sales of even empty gift cards - it is indeed worth considering...also worth some thought my own dose of reality as we head to diamond head winery this weekend to put a cork in it - two batches of wine that is...still seeking out addresses for my guest list....37 cents postage is worth it considering driving around to deliver invitations will be at the Hawaii average high of $2.44/gallon for reg. unleaded...earlier this week I was out of gas -- a strange flu like virus that knocked me on my ass for two days along with headache, congestion, body aches, and sore throat...I can already tell I'm getting better - the insomnia is back...

if you've got a spooky story to share or two - then you need to join my chicken skin kine hui at globalpauhana.org. the group there is getting into a good exchange- i'm looking forward to new members and more stories - perhaps for the hawaii folk on the hui - we can have a few ghosthunting excursions together.

Me & Paoakalani

Me & Paoakalani



Me & Paoakalani


I love this photo of my beautiful neice - after her graceful performance for the solo competition at the 2004 Queen Lili'uokalani Keiki Hula Competition. She dances with Halau Hula 'o Kamuela under the direction of Kumu Hula Kau'i Kamana'o. Her performance of Mele O Ke Ke'ena Kalaunu won over the audience and the judges top scores earning her the title of Miss Keiki Hula 2004. Paoa - all of your hard work and dedication and your love for our native art has only shown Hawaii Nei the beautiful soul that we already know. with love and aloha - aunty yvette

Other Hawaiiana texts and literature are slated for addition to the sites vast body of knowledge. Mahalo nui!

Another valuable site for Hawaiian Cultural exploration is the KSBE site - Ka'iwakiloumoku - Hawaiian Cultural Center. The site named in honor of Hawaii's great king, Kamehameha I, offers a wide variety of cultural experiences through rich media, historical photos and documents, an interactive event calendar, recipes, health tips and an online journal.

nuinui niu
only to be seen in memory
silhouetted in the night sky
the moon lighting your leaves....
oh your true value
so foolishly cut down
in your prime your twilight
