Περισσότερα σχετικά με το Θεό:

Θυμωμένος είμαι εναντίον του. Δεν πάντα, αλλά υπάρχουν στιγμές που πραγματικά είμαι θυμωμένος εναντίον του. Ζητώ από την ερώτηση, γιατί έχω να αντέξει αυτή την ύπαρξή του. Θα προτιμούσα λήθη, αλλά έχω γίνει για να δείτε και να ακούσετε και την αισθητική.

Ως λαός, είμαστε υπερβολικά σίγουροι και νομίζω ότι θα είναι καλύτερα από τους άλλους ανθρώπους. Αυτό είναι χαζό. Πώς μπορούμε να είμαστε καλύτερα από άλλα άτομα όταν είμαστε αδέλφια από την αρχή;

Σκέψεις σχετικά με το Θεό. Ναι, εγώ πιστεύω στον Θεό. Οι περισσότεροι φίλοι μου είναι athiests, ή να υποκρίνονται ότι πιστεύουν στον Θεό, αλλά, δυστυχώς, δεν είναι πιστοί. Συνεχίζω το δικό μου συμβουλίου και να προσπαθήσουμε να μην εμπλακούν σε συζητήσεις μαζί τους. Είναι εμπόλεμες για το θέμα και να μιλήσετε εσείς. Πίνουν πολύ και μιλούν δυνατά, ώστε δεν μπορείτε να μιλούν.

Things All Work Out

For the last month, things have been so busy. Yes, I know, we are all busy people, but for myself, a guy who enjoys quiet moments (seldom getting them) and enjoying just a glance at the sea, or the valleys, I've been remiss. I let things get in the way and I find myself missing the simple pleasures. Hey, that's not me!

Soon, my friends and I will be jaunting over to Vancouver, Victoria for a week of rest and well, just hanging out. The intent of this trip was to have no intinerary.

That's a laugh. No sooner is the plan to make this trip when suddenly there are places to see and people to meet. No itinerary indeed.

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.
