Curious as to all the commotion, I parked nightmare (my bike) and descended into the eye of the human factory and discovered it was the daily Hawaiian Body Slammin Jammin Bombin session at Walls... below, an image of Kawika attempting the triple lutz 720 pike at low tide ... oh, and next to this competition was a thing called Hawai'i 5 - 0..<br />Now, back to the competition and those silly no

If you look closely enough in the photo, you may notice a house perched upside down in the bubble hanging precariously from the petal of a plumeria - that's my friends house. I can only imagine how difficult it must be to keep the furniture's from falling on ones head. And with that in mind, hope you all have a wonderful day - oh, and in response to that humorous comment on a previous post - yes yes, a hula girl is in the works!

On a clear day, you would be able to view the distance mountain ranges. On this day, those distant ranges are but a mere silhouette.Kalahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08577931145228477654noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26881380.post-39048092187194870422010-01-24T02:14:00.002-10:002010-01-24T02:36:12.398-10:00Things that Matter<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hckt/4300396184/" title="IMG_0575800 by kalanakilaokalahui, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4034/4300396184_cb84405344_o.jpg" alt="IMG_0575800" height="536" width="800" /></a><br /><br />'Ohana - its not just a word.

Because in either - life or football - the margin for error is so small. I mean, one half a step too late or too early and you don't quite make it. One half second too slow, too fast and you don't quite catch it. The inches we need are everywhere around us. They're in every break of the game, every minute, every second. On this team, we fight for that inch. On this team, we tear ourselves and everyone else around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when add up all those inches, that's gonna make the f***ing difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!</span></blockquote><br />A quote from the movie, "Any Given Sunday" and like the movie, life plays itself out in a matter of inches and seconds, where the perfect timing or a slight hesitation can mean either a sheer moment of epic enjoyment or a monumental wipeout, all frozen in a freeze frame captured in this photo.<br />Make the most of every second of every moment in your life, or you may miss out on the biggest ride of your life... Just Do It. In the end, you will have no regrets.
