putting the j in jjosh

it’s amazing that they just keep remixing this track…somehow it doesn’t get old to me…especially when it’s so thoroughly deconstructed…

same day as below, souh side of Oahu…calm and blue…

on the north side of Oahu…
why isn’t anyone surfing those waves?!

jungle boogie

also they filmed a bunch of jurassic park here…

for part of our hawaiian trip we are staying with katie’s friend Kaialani, and we spent some time with her parents, Kawilla and Mikey. they are such nice, gentle, generous people…it’s a good vibe hanging out with them.

Kawilla tells a story about when Mikey proposed. he asked her to marry him and she said yes. he was overjoyed, but she said he would have to ask her father for his blessing. this was daunting. her father was a huge man, half german and half Hawaiian.

Mikey went in to tell him and he smiled and beckoned Mikey to follow him into his study. there he asked Mikey to sit down, and went over to his cabinet and took out his shoutgun. he sat down.

“you can marry my daughter,” he said, “and if you hurt her, this is the gun I’ll shoot you with. do you want to hold it?”

“no thanks,” Mikey said.

I like this story a lot, it would be a great bit in a film. I love the idea of a man who’s half German and half Hawaiian, I just picture this enormous character with a beard and a blue shirt.
