Well I am a little over a 3rd done with my time here in Hawaii, (***sigh). Sometimes I am tempted to just want to stay but I can't because I would turn into a beach bum. Anyway life is great here. I guess I just wanted to give you guys an idea of what my life is like here. ITS TOUGH.....I have class till 1 monday wednesday friday and tuesday thursday until 10 am. Then the rest of my time is spent at the beach surfing or hiking to waterfalls in the mountains, like this one.
My best surfing friend is Tony. We get along great. He and I have the best time together catching waves and chasing girls. lol.
Yeah I know I look white but this was in our first few days here.
A few weeks back all us guys put on the best 80s gettup we could (ok its not that great but its all we had) and we rocked the welcome dance. You should have seen the people look as we walked into the dance.
The other day me and a bunch of friends went to Honolulu and rented mopeds.
It was great. We had a blast but got the crap scared out of us when one of the girls crashed into a wall. She was alright but had to pay for some scratched paint of the bike. At the end of a day of cruising around the island like hells angels with the wind in our hair along the beach we decided to catch some waves at sunset. We rented longboards and went out as the sun turned the water red. It was so fun catch waves while looking across the ocean at the fiery sunset.
All you could see was the dark surfer silhouette of your friends against the red sky and warm red water. Then exhausted from so much fun we went shopping for some small stuff and ate a good dinner then headed for home. Amazing! Also I have come to find that surfing is the most therapeutic thing in the world for me. I LOVE IT. Whenever I am stressed or worried a few waves calms me so well its unreal. See all this tempts me to stay but.......I would end up being a beach bum and with only 2000 students and only half or less of them from the states its tough socially. Still I love my island and as long as I am here and have my board, LIFE IS GOOD!
See This is more recent. I am getting a little more tan tan. lol

You, my friend, are living the dream! Nice!
And as for the "stress" you occasionally feel for which you so desperately need to "surf it off"... I wonder...mmm...
Fritz
O.K...I'm sending Dad. I think you have the recipe for destressing. Just when I think Hawaii couldn't get anymore beautiful you update your pictures. Ahhh. Paradise. Glad to hear all is well - you look so handsome...continue the dream (with the studies inbetween!! I made a rhyme.)
MOM
Looks like a you are having a great time. And I love your board. We sure miss you here though.
Ty.

Then London saw them and was like "Whooaaaaaaaaaaaa"

Totally.

You are the envy of everyone here in Reno. While we enjoy rainy days you enjoy the sun and surf (sigh). I'm glad to see you're finally getting your tan!

Jacob my dear,
I forgot...the horticulturalist in me wonders if you are terribly aware rather potent connotation surrounding the word "chronic" (As the charming calligraphy on your sporty surfboard displays)...also synonymous with the richly fibrous, stalky vegetation known as marijuana. You know...weed. Doobies. The Spice of island life. Smokin' potion by the ocean.
As long as the only place it exists in on your surfboard, methinks I don't need to come down and kick any post missionary A**.
Surf on!
Luv
Rae Rae again
And I'll try to type a somewhat readable comment next time. Sorry about the typos.
RAe Rae again and again and again
Hey jacob you look like you are having a blast gosh!!!! wow you arnt even close to getting tan like the other guys in the picture but that is ok cause at least you back ZIT(backene)b have gone away!!! HA HA HA LOL JK!!
Wasap dude. Sure looks like your living the dream in Hawaii. Jealosy is exceedingly common in my mind at the moment but hey, I'll go their someday. You haven't said anything about your'e longboarding times in Hawaii. Dude now that'll make you chill.
Anyway later dude,live hard, love life,and hook me up with some of those girls in the pictures cause dude they are HOT!!!!!
Oh and by the way anonymous is adam my password ain't workin' for who knows what reason so later dude and peace out.
Hi it's Adam.......................
and i'm sick of sending you comments but i didn't have an acount so im anonymous as you well know so ........again..............
peace out. dawg
DAMN well I got this thing working again. I am very jealous that you're out in the Pacific ocean and I'm not. My firewall keeps popping up saying that there is problems. But I do think I had this computer thing solve with your blog. I sent a little e-mail about this stock NIHK so keep an eye on it. Just do 2 things face the ocean and drag your feet when walking in the ocean.
Uncle Keith
dudde...good times. cant wait to go surf the big waves of the north shore with you
