MySpace Not Working

Well, it seems MySpace is not working for me. I don't know why. I have two different computers and they both are not receptive of the site. Poor me.

Thank the gods for Blogger. I can still input my two cents of opinion.

All is quiet on the home front these past few days. I love it. Going out at the drop of a hat can get pretty annoying, after a while. Good thing I have good friends to lean on.

July 4th 1776

My mother's ancestors fought in the American Revolution of 1776 - 1784, expelling the British military, then establishing a fledgling nation. The new nation struggled with its inner demons, often making horrible mistakes, yet, overcoming many of them. It was not a glorious history, like many would like to envision it, yet it was our history. My history. My ancestors were a part of it and helped to shape this part of the globe, for better, or worse.

Eventually, they came to Hawaii, another sad part of American history. Still, from this union, however sad, my parents met and I came into the picture, including my siblings and their offspring. How prolific we are.

How do I feel about Hawaiian sovereignty without betraying my two, separate cultural backgrounds? I leave it to those who feel it matters the most and hope they do not destroy one another because of the differences.

I am American, yet I strongly identify with my Pacific heritage. Let others worry about the flags they wave. I have enough to deal with my own life, to see it's fulfillment, to see whether or not it makes enough waves to touch the people I hope them to touch.

History will have enough to be without having to mention my name. A plus there.

He Walks!

Dwane needed an arm to keep him steady so I met him at the Sand Bar where he'd been visiting Romana and the gang. I encourage him to do that and so he does it readily.

He needed to use the facilities and up he stood, walking toward the restrooms, using nothing to aid him. No cane, no walker, no wheelchair.

A miracle! It took a moment for it to sink in that Dwane was on the mend, if not already. Everyone at the Sand Bar is proud of his progress. I am, especially.

Discussions Of Summer

Tomorrow begins the cycle all over again. Summer begins tomorrow and I ponder the activities about to take place, or not. Will Raven return to the island with a cell phone welded to his ear? Will he actually become human and communicate with us, or find another avenue to test the limits of adults? News at 11:00.

He's a year older now. Fifteen journies around the sun. All I have is a brief memory of his left eye peeking out of a tangled mane of hair. Peek-a-boo!

I'm eager to see him again. We both are.

Our sun screens are ready. My bathing suit needs mending and I dare not try them on these days. It wouldn't be pretty. Ah Summer.

Αναρίθμητοι Ημέρες

Έχει πολύ καιρό μετά την τελευταία μου γραπτώς.

Οι μέρες παίζουν μαζί και λιώνει σε ένα άλλο τόσο πολύ που μόλις και μετά βίας μπορώ να διακρίνουν τις ημέρες. Η δουλειά μου κρατά μου επικεντρώθηκε και το ίδιο κάνουν και οι φίλοι μου.

Θα παίξει πολύ μαζί.

Raven

Raven μπορούν να έρχονται να μας επισκεφτούν αυτό το καλοκαίρι, αλλά δεν ξέρω αν αυτό θα έρθει να περάσει. Έτσι, πολλές προσδοκίες και ελπίδες, αλλά φοβάμαι ότι οι αερομεταφορείς θα είναι υπερβολικά δαπανηρή και δεν θα επισκεφθεί μετά από όλα. Μια τέτοια θλιβερή ημέρα που θα γίνει.

Αναιρεθεί

Έστω ότι όλα είναι περίπλοκη ενώνονται σε ένα απλό συμπέρασμα. Αυτό είναι που έρχεται κατά τη γνώμη μου. Ελπίζω ότι αυτό θα ναι μια μέρα. Είμαι και αισθάνομαι αναιρεθεί.

Long Time No See

Sick people take up your time. Dwane does mine, but I don't complain. It's just a fact. He's doing so much better now, especially after he poopied! Good boy, D!!!

We set up our new laptop recently, then the wireless printer. Odd having two computers now. We seldom use the laptop. Hopefully, we didn't waste our money. Hate to see it go to waste.

Found a venue where I can get some news, other than the newspaper, or Yahoo, or even Google news. MySpace has some interesting reads. You can even leave comments on an article. There is the usual banter among commentators, but that is expected.

It's different.

Great To See Good Friends

We thought for sure we would miss seeing our good friends from Indiana because of Dwane's accident, but they were so kind to call us, making time to see Dwane. They are two great people. Patrick and Jennifer spoke of marriage for a while and what do you know, they went and did it!

We're so happy for them! Things are looking up for them too!
