"...back in my day" Part II: Toure de Class

It's movie Monday! (or Tuesday)

So again, here's a comin' another clip of the Mockumentary/Slideshow "The Class" (Poor take on the best show ever "The Office"). It features Mr. Jairus as guide. If you don't know much about this man, well you will. But to sum it up, he's a guy that'll never give up on a friend. Spontaneous, energetic, laughing, oh no wait that's his wife i'm describing..... no, that describes him too. Anyways, This clip features going up the elevator, to the class, even where the congregation, that we went to, is located in as well. So, again, make a cup o coffee (Cause i'm about to anyways), or tea. Pop out some popcorn or choco-strawberries (whatever is faster to make).
Oh, and P.S:I don't know HOW Sentry got dibbs on the Library. But everyday he'd be there studying, no question, no doubt. Leaving the rest of us fending for ourselves elsewhere to study. He got a lot done though, that's for sure.

"...back in my day" Part 1

Here's a lil ditty from the hard drive vault. Watching this makes me want to finish the video.

I don't know what to compare it to. You know what? you can't compare it. Like how you can't compare Gilead or compare pioneer school. They're all amazing schools, no matter how long it is or who gets to go. We all are learning the same thing, same articles. Based from the same book. So, the info you get mainly is all from your studying. So, if you're attending pioneer schoool (sup, HEEN!!) or going to pioneer school (Hello Loto! Nelly, Morg) or looking forward to going. (Sanders!) advice is to get as much as you can out of your studying. You'll understand and appreciate more from what your instructors are saying, compared to doing a couple units. (Oh! you don't know what units are, you say?¿ it's ok).

Anyways, here is just the first in the series of i dunno how many videos i made just because it's fun to do it. So that'll be my next several installment of posts.
But since no video/audio is allowed in class here's an intro to what life was like those two months with video of break time and after class.


Breaks were fun, the food was ridiculous, after class and studying was unreal. Fo'rel.
We learned a game of cups that kinda reminds you of a mini-Stomp. You know, the show.We played as munchkins, oh they allowed us to skateboard or just in-line skate around the facility. Those were ways to relax our mind and just enjoy some recreation (In it's own place and time of course). You combine all that plus the learning in class, all wrapped up into two months it was one awesome experience. And let's not forget lunch on the final day. Tops the cakes!

Random + Blog = Rlog???

So, it's one more day til the big D.C.! No not the state. psh, anyways. No, i'm talking about the District. But I just felt the need to just give some ramblings of randomness.
I can't believe it's almost 9pm, but an hour ago, i could still see some sunshine from the sunset. weird. summer.

I'm trying to write stuff, but i there's this disease called
"Nonwriterosis"(non-ˈrī-tər-ōsis) It's rare. Not many people have it. I'd say about 1 out of every 6 billion people.
Symptoms are:
-Numbness of brain
-Staring aimlessly at paper or screen
-Only plays the same two chords but in different rhythms
-Unusual habit of writing a line but realizes how sappy it sounds and
-Sneezing

Bad.

So i took Aleve for it, but nothing really worked. So, I'll just fo'geddah boddit.

The reunion of Hilltop Heroes happened last night. (Probably need to change that name). And we only got as far as our first two songs (Beautiful Disaster and Everlong). But we tried a new song to add in there (Stray Cat Strut). Now we need 6 more songs to get down before August 24? I dunno. I.... fo'gettah boddit.
But, just cause you can't write a decent song on your own, it doesn't mean you can't enjoy just jam sessioning out.

Something tells me (no not voices, c'mon) that i need to say more stuff that's floating through my head. Because, up until this point all my recent posts were things that's had an effect on my life. But up until now, it feels like i'm missing something else. I can't put my finger on it, actually I can, but i never knew how to sum it up in words. All i can say is that it's a topic that most song writers write about. That's all i'm saying. Fo' geddah boddit. I'm gone! Gone + Blog = Glog!.
See ya, must wake up early tomorrow. Catch you groovy.....(sorry papa joe).

I'm Tahged!

So, i'm up at an unwholesome hour of.....12:26am? And also, 4 blogs in 3 days? what is going one here? Well, theer, becoss....theer was the...this was the one whose...very. HAha..oh i'm so sorry..i mean i'm filling out a "16 facts you should know" that was tahged to me by the awesomeness of Magina huilao. So here goes notting.

I. I'm sarcastic.

2. I can sleep through practically anything. Accidents happening outside, sirens, smoke alarms, dogs barking, TV. But my alarm and cell phone has no problem waking me up.

3. I get paranoid that something bad is going to happen the next day. Either just get bad news, or worse...die from an illness of some kind.

4. I love all kinds of music. Even, opera and country. Depends though. I get that from my familee.

Dad: 50's, 60's oldies. 70's rock
Mom: 80's contemporary, hawaiian (The good stuff, not the FM 100 stuff...nooooo), opera
Brother: 70's folk, 80's pop, country

V. I love to cook. Apple pie, Choco strawberries, grilled cheese and tomato soup. DUDE! Just working with your hands in making something and seeing the finished product. Even if it doesn't turn out exactly the way you want, it's still your best. So be proud of it. And depending on the recipe, it can also be challenging. Plus, you save money. Instead of eating out all the time.

6. I just enjoy watching other people be happy in the group i'm in. Makes me happy. I may seem quiet, but i'm observing. I'm getting to know the character of the person. Don't want to say something totally out of left field. But once i get comfortable around people, i'm unshutuppable.

7. I'm a sucker for romantic comedies. ok, maybe you didn't need to know that one.

8. I love playing music on the guitar. I don't mind going throughout the day with no TV, but just listening to music. It's the best outlet I can think of. Whether you're writing a song, messing with chords, or covering other peoples songs, it's the enjoyment you get from just making music. Any instrument. Music can amplify certain emotions you have.

9. At times i feel that no matter how much i do, it's never good enough. There's always someone better than you. Constantly, I think people judge too soon.

X. I don't think I ever really confided in anyone. I mean, REALLY confided in. I don't know why i have never gotten to that point yet. I want to though. But, I have a tendency to keep everything inside, and....yeah that's it.
11. I enjoy either hearing or telling dry humor. Either you're laughing with me or at me, as long as you're laughing is good.

12. I try to just make sure everyone else is fine and doing ok, before i do for myself.

13. Because at the moment my immediate family is comprised of just me now, I just want to have a family of my own. Kids running around the yard, tire swing, tree house, relaxing on the couch with my wife, her laughing at how goofy i look, i tell her the same. Oh and you gotta have music playing in the background. And of course, the white picket fence the whole schpeel.

14. My parents actually wanted to name me Drew. But thankfully, my brother stepped in and gave a name found in the Bible. Good thing he was there. I don't think i fit the "drew" profile.

XV. Can't stand hypocrites. I understand everyone makes mistakes, and I contradict myself too sometimes. But It's the blatantl hypocrites. Motion-Goers. Doing their hearts desire but still pretending that they're good on the outside. I just hope they can take things more seriously. At least take it one step at a time to progress.

16. You'll more than likely see me with a coffee in my hand, no matter what time it is. Apple Pie and Coffee is my PB&J and milk.


Well, since the two bloggers I know have either done it or is contemplating what tidbits to menshun....

Well there it is, the whole shibang. Catch all you groovy cats later. Hold up, wrong blog.
See yuh!

Kids say the darndest things

Life after ringo is easier than most people thought it would be. Oh man, now there's Tag. Hi 5. pshhhh man, please. Tag was a game we played during first and second recess. And not to mention, the A+ program (For you kids who waited 3 hours after school finished because their parents couldn't pick them up immediately at 2:10). And whenever i think of Hi 5, i just wanna do a Saved by the Bell ending with a plastic bottle in hand. I dunno.



But this past Fourth of July was nothing but just seeing my niece. She had computer camp program at Kam. Flew from the Big Island to here, and spent a week, learning about the Aina, and malama 'ing the pono. And after the swimming in freshwater ponds and playing games that is only found , if you're visiting here, at the PCC, then she had to write it all down and make a report booklet about her experiences. And of course, "Good Times Together" by C&K was their 'graduation' song. Hahaha, how could i have NOT seen that coming?



It was one of the proud moments I have of her. I knew her and her brother and sister were smart, but this is exceptional. This is just impressive. I forget, she's not the baby I remember. Still a little girl, but a mind that's way past her class. It showed while all the kids took turns introducing themselves. She and just a handful of kids stood upright, faced everyone and did their thing. That girl is a speaker. Art in any form or way is her strength. It's her natural way to express.



B/c of ticket prices, her parents and sibs couldn't make it. So, being uncle, I was happy to be there representing the family. Sad thing is just, my dad was looking forward to that day. But, time and unforeseen occurrences befall us. It would've been icing on the cake for him to see how grown up she's gotten. But she made everyone proud, even though many were unable to be there. I'm proud having watch her grow up and as my niece.



Maika'i. HAHAHA









btw, Supercrew is taking it. yuppers
