Cockroaches, geckos, lizards, and all other kinds of critters are standard fare. Nothing bothered me and I thought the hawaiian bugs weren’t so bad. And then I saw my first Hawaiian centipede. I’ve never seen one in my life before today, and god DAMN are they some freaky little bastards. They are fast as a pissed off snake, with a venemous bite to match. Here is the picture that proves that they will indeed die after swimming in Raid for 10 minutes.
Look how big this thing was!
I’ve been pretty unhappy with my house for a while, and this is the last straw, I can’t wait to get the hell out of here.
Now every time I step outside, or crawl into bed in the pitch dark, I’m going to be thinking that this centipedes family is waiting for me there, ready to avenge his death! Thankfully I’m soon moving to a new place down in Waikiki, and it’s on the 24th floor. Try to climb up 24 stories… yeah, that’s what I thought, YOU CAN’T (I hope).
What have I been up to in my life? First it was that I moved down to Waikiki, then it was that I was uninspired, then it was that I just didn’t care, and most recently, it’s because I’ve picked up surfing. I’m going to focus on the surfing
Here is my very first board, a real beat up guy bought for a good price, but still very ridable.
I am very happy and proud of it, as it’s my first surfboard ever, even though I’ve lived all my life in California. Yes that’s right, we don’t all surf, hardly any of us do actually.
Anyways, I’ll share one beginner surfing tip with you guys. I know it might sound boring, but when you are all ready to jump in the water and start surfing, just stop for a few minutes and watch the waves. Plan your attack. This will save you TONS of effort and frustration, trust me. See where the waves are breaking, where they tail off, and make a conscious plan to surf in a specific area and stick to it. There is nothing more frustrating that trying over and over to catch a wave in an area where they just aren’t breaking, such as the middle area of the Canoes break in Waikiki. At Canoes, for some reason the waves break outside (way out) and inside (close to shore) but there is a dead zone in the middle which is impossible to catch anything in. After a few times of becoming extremely frustrated and tired AND catching no waves, I learned to avoid the dead zone. Every time I go out I still see people floundering away there though, wasting their energy and thinking there are no ridable waves today. I like to smile and wave as I ride by them
“Hey man, I was just checking out Johnstonefitness.com for some reason… probabily because I have nothing to do here in L.A. But anyways, I just thought that it’s a really neat website that I’d keep checking out just because it’s really unique and in it’s core it’s really about the transformation of this guy. I think that’s probabily why people who like the website would keep coming back to check it out. Because this guy made a website about the changes that he’s made and is making and therefore as long as he keeps up dating his life, people will always come back!
I think with all the reality television shows out there it’s pretty clear that most people are interested in living vicuriously through other’s lives. You got a cool website going, and I honestly believe that we as your friends of course will want to know what you’re up to, but if you want to connect with strangers all over the world, you’ll need to entice them with somthing that everyone will want to see. I think Hawaii is a great gateway to capture attention, but you’ll need somthing to make yourself more specific, more original, more special.If you make your website about traveling all over Hawaii to find the most exotic or strange food you can find, that’s going to be interesting and keep people coming back. If you make it about yourself going into the toughest, ghettoest, shadiest neighborhoods and fighting the local gangsters people will want to keep coming back until you die. Now, the above two are only senarios that I came up with… and obviously you’re only man enough to even attempt one of them… but you are probabily too poor to afford all the food. But here’s a pretty cool one that I think you can be challenged and probabily going to enjoy.
What if…
you went after tons of girls all over Hawaii and documented your successes and failures? (hopefully more successes) I’m just throwing that out there, cuz I’m not even sure if that’s the coolest thing you could do. I mean, what if you started to build somthing cool? Like a motorcycle with a jet turbine engine? Well, someone did that in their garage and I saw it on youtube. I’ll think of more ideas and letyou know! By the way, Johnstonefitness is probabily making him some money cuz there are a couple weightloss and weightgainer buttons that people could click and make him money on that website.”
