From Brother Bob Poem

Your back is hurtin,
gettin stressed out,
flowers are bloomin,
it's better than gout.
Life's gettin complex,
lotso time tween sex,
babies got you on the move,
gotts to find the groove.
You're goin insane,
even lil waves are a pain,
it all sounds like a growin pain.

You're all good

Back Problems

waitin' for lower back to recover.
can't wait to get back into the ocean.
gotta stretch and get connected. YOGA...
fallin' off physically...
possibly too much time behind a computer.

Maui

Cleared some of the sludge in my head, soul and full being
just sittin in Maui listening to the wind and trees.
re-evaluating dreams, goals
simplify, simplify, simplify.

This photo is of Aspen and I.
It was his birthday party...
him and his sister Lily's.
there birthdays are a day apart.
There parents are Jodi and Caleb.
We stayed at their home in the most remote zone.
Dey got plenty Aloha.
Thank you.

Philosophic Contemplation

Life is a balance of living your desires and being happy where you're at.
The fruitful moment is where past present and future become one.

I'm going to Maui for the weekend and it could be good to not touch a computer for a day or two... or three.
Wow. Let's see if I can do that.
Hmmm.... Can I do without the cell phone too?
Can I get closer to caveman style to gain better perspective on my current status.

We shall see.


Oh. Forgot to mention that I hooked up a new skate setup yesterday morning and rode it to work.
My new skateboard is a Magic Carpet that eats curbs.
Rides as if there is nothing beneath me. Just floats down the street in search of curbs.
Curb Cobbler.


Ok.
Til next time.
Signing off.

My Secret

The secret I always have to remind myself:
Its hard to have hard times in Paradise Hawaii, but it happens.

When money is tight I think to myself well it's warm enough here, I don't need much clothes.
I can breathe. I got arms and legs. I've lived a great life so far.
Shit. I am so thankful for everything I've done so far and have been given. Even without accomplishing my next dream.
When you get bummed or stumped Manny,
Just remember to be thankful and that will set you off with plenty of energy.

Shaka.
