Hawaii shashin #2
As usual, the problem is ME, not the computer or the website... etc. Good for a laugh, indeed! Anyways, on with post #2...
A great picture of the Strich men (specifically the Irvine branch of the Strich's). Cheers, welcome to Hawaii!
How the west was won... No. This is how our time was spent about half of the time.
Family portrait at a Hilo-side cascada.
Family portrait (albeit dark) at the top of Mauna Kea (13,300+ feet!) with Haleakala and Maui in the background... off to the left are two of the dozen observatories that litter this snowy space-scape from ten different countries... the stars up here are pretty visible apparently.
Family portrait at Roy's... don't mind the flash in the window even though, "I told you so!"
Started with the boys and dad and ends with the boys and mom at, where else, the beach! Obviously I have all the chest hair in the family... Jake simply got all of the muscles!

Well, I have another post for later because I couldn't upload them all at once. Damn.
Northern Coastal valley... went here,on my first day... to the end of the road!
On the way back over to the west side I took the high road over to Waimea Valley... here is a view from 3000 feet, looking over the Waikoloa area
Our favorite beach, Day 1!
Day 3 abouts... to the top of Mauna Kea volcano! It is something like 13, 364 feet... and that is Maui in the background... Haleakala, more specifically.
Would you believe some dude from Oahu brought his snowboard to the Big Island? Neither could I , but he was a real bro about letting me get a ride with his gear!
Taking a run in Hawaii... it has been a joke for years and now it is legit! Check THAT off my list! Yosh!
"Throw up the Shaka, brah!"
Hilo-side (east side of Hawaii). Usually it rains, but we got a nice bit of sunshine!
Some waterfalls from the wet east side
Back to the dry west side... I hiked from the road to a beach using a forgotten trail through fresh lava fields
Said beach... this is apparently the King's ole fishin' hole! And black sand beaches... and a ton of turtles too! Pretty water, pretty day, pretty fun to hitchhike back to the condo to meet the family!
Sunset view from said condo!
Typical breakfast: strawberry papaya with lime, toasted bagel with butter, island bananas, Passion-Orange-Guava (POG) juice, Kona coffee... out on the lanai... paradise?! Yes.
A self-portrait of my brother and I. Those are our (second) margaritas and beers... Too bad Syracuse lost that game, but it was rad to watch basketball in real time! Ohh yeah, that IS a tub of hummus!

I saw this in the Honolulu airport and figured it was a good way to describe the vacation!

Shame on Maneschevitz
So, I just ate a box of matzo for the holiday... and in the tiniest letters on the front of the box, there is a disclaimer... "Not for Passover"
Well, when the hell else am I supposed to eat it?
Too cheap to make it the real thing? Money really does rule things these days... poor religion, you used to be so pure...

Trapped in my head
I mopped myself into a corner... the floor sure looks good, but I have to stand here and wait for it to dry!

I have been doing it so much lately... and it's funny to laugh at myself for getting so caught up in the social interaction of energy, instead of the energy itself! Silly, Dave!

Different Influences
I truly enjoy moving around. Traveling in actuality and in mentality. This means always putting forth one's best in effort and in manner. It also can be interpreted as simply seeing a lot of cool stuff, or enjoying the stuff that one sees for what it is... without judging and without taking sides.
In this entire process there are a lot of influences. Memorable scenes, fun experiences, and unforgetable people. The people can be the coolest cats on the planet; they can be the most mediocre folks that put a pattern in any place; they can be the despised people that no one hopes to ever be like. It's addictive to be with the rad ones, easy or difficult to get along with the mediocre folks (based on my given attitude at the time), and really fucking hard to put up with the parasites. Regardless, they each play a super important role in my life.
I have to recognize the influence and let it act accordingly. In turn, it is my responsibilty to re-infuence the influence. This is the "transfering of energy" that I am studying and trying to feel. Not so easy... but slowly and surely, ne.
And that leads me to Patience, but that is another blog post entirely.
In the meantime, working with the influences and influencing back. Energy.
