Alright, so I've been re-reading the Harry Potter series in preparation for Book 6 coming out in July. I've just finished Book 3, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Now if you've seen the movie, it is a great book... but MAN, I totally forgot how many details and other mini-stories were omitted from the movie! I mean, they soooo downplay the Marauder's Map in the movie, whereas in the book, the Map is huge in the storyline. And the way they re-arrange shit in the movie, giving lines from the book to completely different characters, and rearranging the timeline of the story... like in the movie, Harry receives a Firebolt racing broom at the end of the movie as a gift from Sirius Black. HOWEVER, in the book, Harry receives that Firebolt anonymously half-way through the year! And HELLO... Where is the Quidditch Final in the movie? It doesn't exist! And who the authors of the Marauders Map really are? NOT in the movie... and the ending of the book, which by far is the best part of the whole thing that it had me in tears the first time I read it... TOTALLY NOT in the movie... WTF??? I REALLY hope they get a different director and screenwriter for the next movie. The details in Book 4 are incredible, and I don't want someone to f**k it up...

Hmmm I guess we shall see... oh by the way, Book 4... Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is slated to come out later this year in the theaters. Now I have to get started on re-reading that book this week ;) See ya! Oh by the way, the graduation was great... a bit long, but then, with 440 graduates, what do you expect... good night!|W|P|111745192205356965|W|P|Prisoner of Azkaban|W|P|bfljock79@gmail.com5/30/2005 01:48:00 PM|W|P|Anonymous Ryan Patrick Kern|W|P|How do UI subscribe to your site and have your posts emailed to me?

Hey gang! Well, work last night was a total breeze... a two hour concert with Hawaiian Vocalist Keali'i Reichel and the Honolulu Symphony Pops! I don't really know how to describe an evening like that. And the really cool thing was that because it was a Hawaiian concert, I got to see a lot of my Hawaiian language friends and professors! And for once in a very long time I got to speak to someone in Hawaiian at length... my bosses were tripped out. Because of course when you look at me, I don't fit the stereo-typical image that is a "Hawaiian". Hehehe I like to consider myself an "undercover Hawaiian". Anyway, last night was pretty easy... except for having to partner up with someone that not even my bosses trusted. And I swear, the woman does not pay attention. Thisis already my second week and I had just told her that I worked the concert on Friday night, and she still treated me like it was my first day there... Well, certain people suggested I not pay attention to anything she has to say and to jsut go about my business as usual. I find that that worked out pretty well ;). But anyway, tonight I'm working my old high school's graduation, The Kamehameha Schools. Geez, I can't believe it's been 8 years already since I was in high school. I don't really want to work tonight, but oh well, it's my high school so I know what to expect. Yesterday afternoon I was bored off my ass at another graduation. I swear sometimes I wonder about other schools. The validictorians of the class couldn't even manage a compound sentence without taking 4 breaths in between.. and the subject matter? One speech was half about how they didn't win any sports championships that year... and the other? About how how high school is not the end of the road and how like it or not, they must go on... OMG... and these are the smartest kids in the class? I just hope that the speeches tonight are thoughtful and well-constructed... at least that's the way I remember it when I graduated. So with that, I better get my ass ready for work... I mua Kamehameha!

The Keali'i Reichel concert with the Honolulu Symphony was great, and I ended up seeing a lot of my Hawaiian language classmates and various hula masters, so I had a blast... we'll see how tomorrow goes though ;). After work I got to hang out with my friend M. for a bit before getting dropped off at home... it's really great getting to know him, since I don't have that many people that I'm really close to here outside of my family. Anyway, I think I might've either pissed him off or said or did something that got him "thinking"... I hope not, but I have a funny feeling that I did. Anyway, I better get my ass to bed... I have to leave the house by 10 tomorrow morning for what will probably be a VERY long day. I'll give y'all the "low down" on the concerts tomorrow night if I still have the energy... have a great weekend everyone! Oh BTW, my mom left for her Alaskan trip today... have a great trip mom!|W|P|111727958292764649|W|P|Quick Review|W|P|bfljock79@gmail.com5/26/2005 11:18:00 PM|W|P|hbjock|W|P|Ki‘eki‘e ‘o Hawai‘i i luna o ke kai ‘o ‘Alenuihāhā Ho‘olono ‘o Māui i ke kai ‘o ‘Alalākeiki He keiki ‘o Kaho‘olawe a Kanaloa Nāna nō i kuhikuhi i Kealaikahiki Hiki na‘e ‘o Lāna‘i i ke kai ‘o ‘Au‘au ‘Au aku iā Pailolo, aia lā ‘o Moloka‘i ē A Kaiwi i ke kai hānupanupa Upu a‘e ka pohu la‘i o O‘ahu Ahuwale i ke kai ‘o Ka‘ie‘iewaho Ma waho o Kaulakahi ‘Ike ‘ia ka ‘ehu kai o Ni‘ihau ē Hau‘oli loa wau i ka nani e pāhola ‘ia mai Maika‘i a hemolele ka maluhia o nā kai ‘ewalu Ua ‘ikea.

Well today was a great day. It was my day off again, so I got to do something that I haven't done in months... I hit the beach! Woo hoo!! One of my really good friends from Mililani had the day off too, so he wanted to hang out and get some sun. And really, the only great beach that I could think of in this area of the island is Ko 'Olina, a resort area just beyond Kapōlei and before Kahe Point, on the west end of this island of O‘ahu.

Anyway, the weather was perfect... bright, sunny and hot... My God, the sand was scorching hot, so to get into the water was heaven. Usually these days I hit the water for a bit, then lay out for a while, then jump back in a few times... but man, the water was so cool that I didn't get out for 3 hours! And the water... crystal clear to 25 feet! What a way to spend a day off... ahhh... i'm still basking in the memory ;). Oh well, back to work tomorrow... see ya! Everybody have an awesome Friday!|W|P|111719998761154013|W|P|Beach Baby!!|W|P|bfljock79@gmail.com5/27/2005 06:00:00 AM|W|P|Anonymous Jetboy747|W|P|Ya, well, you might have the beach, the sun, the sand, the crystal cool blue water, (I actually thought of you watching LOST this week) but you don’t have the HRH Queen Elizabeth the second.

Okay, I’ll take Hawaii over a dowdy old bitty in a housedress with a tiara any day. One day, I’ll come back.

Happy Weekend,
Jetboy7475/25/2005 11:31:00 PM|W|P|hbjock|W|P|Hey gang, well tonight I was working a graduation for adult education centers, and well after all the warnings I had gotten about how bad the crowds usually are, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it was actually the easiest graduation I worked so far! Thankfully, the graduation was in the concert hall, so there weren't tons of aisles the public could clutter, and the audience couldn't really get to the graduates, so this one was a total piece of cake compared to the one for HPU. Anyway, this past Sunday I got to work the season finale concert for the Honolulu Symphony Orchestra, which also happened to be the farewell concert for our maestro, Sam Wong. Apparently after 10 years, Maestro Wong is ready to move on and head back to New York to start a foundation based on health and the positive effects of music on health. Some of you may have seen a report on the news recently about some doctors playing live music in their operating rooms to calm their patients.. well, Maestro Wong is spear-heading that program and is going back to his medical roots.

Now I don't listen to a whole lot of classical music, that's more my dad's "thing", but I have to say, I was really impressed with the special guest artist, internationally reknowned violinist Sarah Chang. I LOVE watching female musicians... they always get into it on the stage way more than men. Male classical musicians are always so poised and calm. The women, on the other hand, just totally go nuts on stage.. hair flying everywhere, body gyrating... and man, her skills were incredible!

I was just shocked that they played Korsakov, Shostakovich, and Rachmaninoff! What classical music I have heard consists of alot of their works. REALLY awesome stuff.. Anyway, Friday night is the season finale concert for the Honolulu Pops Orchestra, and the guest artist is Grammy-nominee Hawaiian vocalist, Keali'i Reichel. Keali'i is a multi-Hawaiian Grammy winner, an American Grammy nominee, as well as an acclaimed Kumu Hula on the island of Maui. I'm totally excited.. I have all his albums but I've never gotten to see him perform live. This is just gonna be cool!!

Anyway, I better shut up already. I'm sure I'm boring the hell out of anyone and my feet are killing me. OK, so I'm sitting down, but they still hurt! =) Have an awesome day tomorrrow everybody!|W|P|111709986206393658|W|P|Honolulu Symphony|W|P|bfljock79@gmail.com5/24/2005 08:44:00 PM|W|P|hbjock|W|P|Hey guys, well it's that time of week.

Ok, maybe not Hell, but it was definitely something I'd rather not experience again. Like I said last time, I was ushering for a Christian convention this weekend called Transformation Hawai'i. Granted, the people are great... they really are a genuinely happy organization, and my prayers were answered... they were VERY easy to work with. The "hell" part was having to stand in one spot for 5 hours one night and then 10 HOURS the next day, listening to HOURS AND HOURS of Power Point presentations on how to spread the message of the Lord in your homes, workplace, and community. NOT that I'm opposed to that by any means... but you know how these things go, something that should take 5 minutes to explain on a PP slide, takes 30 minutes for them to elaborate on.... I was going nuts! My feet hurt, my arms hurt, and with no food in my system for that period of time, I just wanted to drop dead on the spot right there! The one really touching part of the whole event though was this portion on "reconciliation." They were talking about how the Church and how Christianity has become so segmented and such lines have been put up between people like the Jews vs. Seminites, men vs. women, Protestants vs. Catholics, etc.... Well anyway, the key note speaker is an evangelist from California, and he caught me off-guard when he invited two people onto the stage, a Native Hawaiian woman my age, and a Cherokee chief that he had befriended over the years... The woman talked about how she loved the Lord, but how she and her friends were conflicted over the issue of going to church because of the negative impact and the feeling of inequity left by the mmissionaries upon our people. Well, for any of you who really know me... I'm an emotional mess sometimes, and I can't handle when people start crying, it just makes me cry right along with them. Well, the woman continued on explaining her feelings and the feelings of the Native Hawaiians towards foreigners in a way that was so eloquently done, you'd have to be a total bigot to not understand her point. She finished with a quote from our last queen, Lili'uokalani, which was an address to the American people to look beyond their power/money-hungry attitudes and to see the land as the Hawaiian people do... as an ancestor and a gift from God. Well anyway, after this emotional speech, the keynote speaker did something I totally wasn't prepared for... he asked all the native Hawaiians in the audience to stand... and then he and the rest of the pastors on the stage got down on their knees and prayed and begged for forgiveness for everything that their ancestors did to the Native Hawaiian people and the Native Americans including stealing their land for profit and ripping them of their languages, and making them feel inferior among other things.. I can't remember everything he said... and this was the kicker... everyone in the audience followed suit.. the non-Hawaiians all got down on their knees and put their head to the floor! I tell you, it was THE MOST sincere, heart-felt apology that I have ever heard. Even the polititcians got down! I couldn't believe it... I was balling my eyes out at this show of respect and humility. And when the Cherokee chief stepped forward to accept the apology and pray for God's forgiveness over them, they were all crying so much they were shaking... I totally lost it... If I didn't think I would get in trouble, I would've walked right up to that stage and joined the chief... and what followed was a series of chants of forgiveness from the Cherokee people and some of the native Hawaiians in the audience.. I wanted to get up on that stage and join them sooo badly.. Anyway, I need to get my ass to work... I'll write more later tomorrow =) See ya!|W|P|111680036609694768|W|P|Transformation Hawai'i|W|P|bfljock79@gmail.com5/24/2005 05:45:00 AM|W|P|Blogger Glenn Ingersoll|W|P|You've been step-nined!5/20/2005 01:37:00 PM|W|P|hbjock|W|P|Hey gang, well I figured I'd blog a little bit today before work. Tonight I believe I'm working a Christian Convention of some kind... which of course you know is every gay man's dream right? Anyway, who knows what duties I have to perform tonight, 'cause Christians aren't exactly reputed to be a wild angry lot, well at their conventions anyway... so I'm hoping tonight is a "cake-walk". So anyway, like I was saying, I'm an usher at the Blaisdell Center complex... it's a combination of 4 different venues: 1. A sports arena 2. An Exhibition Hall 3. An outdoor amphitheater called the "Waikiki Shell" 4. A Concert Hall home to the Honolulu Pops Orchestra and the Honolulu Symphony Orchestra.. which is also the venue usually used for all touring Broadway productions, most recently CATS and Lord of the Dance... So anyway, tonight's ushering and tomorrow morning's ushering is at the arena for that Christian convention... hoepfully it won't be too wild. I can't wait for Sunday though... I'll be working in the concert hall, working a Symphony concert featuring Violin virtuoso, Sarah Chang as part of the Master Works series, and apparently this concert is a farewell concert to our conductor Samuel Wong who is returning to NY this year. Anwyay, I better hurry up and finish my lunch so I can get my ass out of here and to work ;) See ya!!|W|P|111663329698455583|W|P|The Arena|W|P|bfljock79@gmail.com5/22/2005 06:12:00 AM|W|P|Anonymous Anonymous|W|P|Sounds pretty low key to me.

On the bright side of life, I started my job with the Blaisdell Center yesterday! The unfortuante thing is now I know why people don't like working graduations... because the families and friends who go to these things are really stupid. You know what I mean, they rush down the aisles trying to get a picture as their graduate walks into the area, then another before they sit down, then another when they're standing in line to get their degrees, then again when they get their degree, then another when they're walking off the stage....AND of course they're not really paying attention to where there child is at, so they crowd the aisles and stand there and WAIT til they recognize their child, which can take almost half an hour it seems. And of course, do you think they listen to you when y ou tell them that they can't hang in the aisles? Of course not! That would make the job way too easy right?? BUT trust me, it gets worse when the graduation is at an amphitheater, and the graduates are only a few yards from the audience... sometimes they even get the graduates to get up, come over to them to give them leis or to swap car keys or whatever... Anyway, there's a lot more to this story, but I'll have to elaborate later when I'm in the mood. I have to work a Born-Again Christian Conference tomorrow night and then again on Saturday morning... so can you sense my total enthusiasm??? See y'all later... =)|W|P|111658449580307199|W|P|Fast update..|W|P|bfljock79@gmail.com5/20/2005 05:45:00 AM|W|P|Blogger Donnie|W|P|Yes, graduations are a joy, aren't they? When I was sitting in the front row of our graduation, I was seated right by the two plastic "feet" taped to the floor where students were to stand and get their photo taken.

Being a college boy myself, I've always had a thing for college athletes... sometimes I just want them to strip their shirts off and play bare-chested so I can break out my digi cam and take some pics ;). And we all know that baseball players are some of the hottest athletes around. Football players are hot too, but in honor of everyone else, this week's hottie is Joe, a hot college baseball player featured on Fratmen.com. If you've NEVER heard of this site, you've been living under a rock and you need to head over there immediately! Unfortunately, I haven't watched his videos yet, but I definitely would love to someday! Anyway, enjoy gang!!

Baseball Joe... dang, see... they need to have shirtless games ;).

You gotta love the shirtless/jeans combo, and that smile... mmmmm =)

Dang... that's just so wrong... shirtless, jeans... and an unbuttoned fly? That is just soooooo wrong!

Ok, if you haven't figured it out yet, a nice chest is one of my hugest fetishes =))

Hehehehe ok, I usually only post about 3 pics of a hot guy, but damned, I just couldn't help myself. Actually I'd love to post more, but xxx-rated material isn't allowed on Blogger (at least I don't think it is) and besides, I wouldn't want the good folks and Fratmen.com getting mad at me because I've posted all their material ;)|W|P|111637480157910878|W|P|Hottie of the Week 5-16|W|P|bfljock79@gmail.com5/17/2005 03:49:00 PM|W|P|Blogger drifter|W|P|Hey there ya big hottie. :)

Paul was just reading about my drama last night, so he wanted to add a bit of drama, and thus getting his own entry in my blog ;). You see, Paul has this roommate who we'll call M. Anyway, a few years back, Paul fell in love with M. and because M. was living an extremely poor life, Paul felt the need to get him out of that trash and give him a better life (which is totally admirable and adorable, I think). Anyway, so they move in together, and unfortunately, a good relationship didn't work out and M. decided to look elsewhere for love... so Paul chalks it up to a "failed relationship". However, out of the kindness of his heart, he allows M. to continue living there with him. (what a guy...) However, this has apparently lead to nothing but drama between the two. M. apparently is the type of guy who likes being the center of attention, but yet still live an independent life. Now based on our discussions over the last few months, M. has been a real asshole to Paul, constantly asking him for huge amounts of money for stuff, which he ends up spending on clothes.... they've stopped hanging out as friends because M. always seems to cancel out on Paul whenever they do make plans, and apparently to hang out with other people... Now, M. has gotten himself a job, which is a great thing, but I don't think that Paul has been collecting rent.. oh wait, I take that back, Paul said today that M. has no job and no money... hmmmm... Now, M. apparently likes to get his way, or no way at all... Paul just got a brand new job in Stanford which pays really well, and frankly, he's been saying for weeks that he's been wanting to get out of his current situation and to get away from M. and start a new life... BUT NOW, because Paul's about a week away from moving out, and M.'s "been good" to Paul, Paul has offered M. a place to stay in Stanford with him... OR if M. decides to go back to L.A., Paul has offered to send him $250 a month for 4 months to help him out while he finds a job and a place to live... (again, extremely admirable). But, I just don't get it... I understand wanting to help your friends out, and not wanting anyone to go homeless... BUT, if the guy treats you like shit and doesn't really appreciate you... then why do you bother? Well, I know why Paul does it... but I don't think I could be that generous... especially since the guy was an ass.. If M. was actually a good friend, I could understand, but that's not the case here... Hmmm so anyway, there's a possibility that M. might end up moving out to Stanford with Paul, which would make the situation almost exactly the same as it is now... and as much as I LOVE Paul, I don't see this being a good situation at all. And do I want to get any more in the middle of it as I already am? Not really... ugh.... why must there always be this drama around me? Ok, I'm done now... *We now return to your reguarly scheduled program, already in progress*|W|P|111637445313989477|W|P|Paul's Drama...|W|P|bfljock79@gmail.com5/17/2005 10:53:00 AM|W|P|hbjock|W|P|Ok, I wouldn't usually post about this... but I just have to get it off my chest, and I apologize ahead of time to Paul, cause I know he hates hearing about this kind of stuff... Ok... I know that I'm pretty much over my ex.. it's been about a month since we broke up. But then a friend of mine last night was talking to my ex on the computer and apparently, my ex told him that he was single, having just gotten out of 3 relationships... breaking up with one boyfriend right after the Merrie Monarch Hula Competition (me), and then breaking up with a girlfriend and a boyfriend about a week ago.. WTF???? Not even separated from me for 4 weeks, and he's already had a girlfriend AND a boyfriend? What the hell happened to his "need" to be single??? UGH!!!!!! Where are the decent men in this world?? Damn it!!!!!!!! *We now return you to your regularly scheduled program.

I'm gonna hit the gym at night, like after dinner when my brain is a little more functioning. Everytime I try to go in the morning, I end up oversleeping and then feel really weak when I get up, so I lose my motivation to go... at least now this way I can start eating and working on my diet and eating regularly and then have energy for the gym later in the eve... whereas usually if I do oversleep and do go to the gym, I don't end up having my first meal till around 1:00pm, which is like half way through the day already! =) So this is week 5, and of course my diet has been horrible, so my bodyfat % has actually gone up from 25.5% to 2 6.5%... ugh... I think right now, getting my diet under control should be a priority.. So I've started making a food journal on my own to log everything I eat (and no, I'm not going to put that shit on here hehehe..) But it is time to change the workout up a bit, so here's the plan for tonight... Chest
  • Incline Dumbbell Press 12 reps x 20lbs. 10 reps x 25lbs. 8 reps x 30lbs. 6 reps x 35lbs. 12 reps x 30lbs.
  • Incline Dumbbell Flyes 12 reps x20lbs.

Shoulders

  • Seated Dumbbell Press 12 reps x 15lbs. 10 reps x 20lbs. 8 reps x 25lbs. 6 reps x 30lbs. 12 reps x 25lbs.
  • Front Raises 12 reps x 5lbs.

Back

  • Wide-Grip Pulldowns 12 reps x 60lbs. 10 reps x 70lbs. 8 reps x 80lbs. 6 reps x 90lbs. 12 reps x 80lbs.
  • Back Extensions 12 reps.

Triceps

  • Dumbbell Extensions 12 reps x 15lbs. 10 reps x 20lbs. 8 reps x 25lbs. 6 reps x 30lbs. 12 reps x 25lbs.
  • Tricep Pushdowns 12 reps x 40lbs.

Biceps

  • Standing Barbell Curls 12 reps x 20lbs. 10 reps x 30lbs. 8 reps x 40lbs. 6 reps x 50lbs. 12 reps x 40lbs.
  • Concentration Curls 12 reps x 10lbs.

And there you have it... different exercises to stimulate muscle growth... let's hope I don't kill myself tonight =)

The Keys to Your Heart

You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free.
In love, you feel the most alive when your lover is creative and never lets you feel bored.
You'd like to your lover to think you are optimistic and happy.
You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please.
Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with.
Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.
You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.
In this moment, you think of love as commitment. Love only works when both people are totally devoted.

Not a bad quiz (the Key to your Heart).

-M5/14/2005 02:33:00 PM|W|P|hbjock|W|P|It's amazing how some people come up with stuff like this... but I got this through a new blog I came across today, "Not That", since I'm not really being completely productive today I have way too much time on my hands.. and a guy can only j/o so many times right? Anyway, the topic of this one is ... "Which Obsolete Skill Are You?" Personally I don't think French is obsolete at all, but whatever, I didn't come up with the quiz... =) France Modern (trois fleurs-de-lis) You are 'French'. In the nineteenth century, it was the international language of diplomacy. It is a 'beautiful' language, meaning that it is really just a low-fidelity copy of Latin. You know the importance of communicating 'diplomatically', which for you means both being polite and friendly when necessary and using sophisticated, vicious sarcasm when appropriate. Your life is guided by either existentialism or nihilism, depending on the weather. You have a certain appreciation for the finer things in life, which is a diplomatic way of saying that you are a disgusting hedonist. Your problem is that French has been obsolete for a long time. What obsolete skill are you? brought to you by |W|P|111611725778307777|W|P||W|P|bfljock79@gmail.com5/14/2005 04:10:00 PM|W|P|Blogger Donnie|W|P|Cool entry! I just went and took the quiz about which obsolete skill I am. Here are the results:

You are 'programming in QBASIC'. This programming language (of which the acronym stands for 'Quick Beginners' All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code'), which is so primitive that it cannot easily be used for any purpose involving the Internet nor even sound, was current more than a decade ago. You are independent, in a good way. When something which you need cannot be found, you make it yourself. In writing and in talking with people, you value clarity and precision; your friends may not realize how important that is. When necessary, you are prepared to be a mediator in conflicts between your friends. You are very rational, and you think of things in terms of logic and common sense. Unfortunately, your emotionally unstable friends may be put off by your devotion to logic; they may even accuse you of pedantry and insensitivity. Your problem is that programming in QBASIC has been obsolete for a long time.5/15/2005 07:23:00 PM|W|P|Anonymous Anonymous|W|P|French, eh?! That's suppose to be me! Maybe we're too alike.

  • Oblique Floor Crunches 12 reps

Well, it's coming towards the end of Week 4...so next week I need to change all the exercises and shock my muscles. Hmm... let me see... I'm going to have to think about this one ;).

While the workouts are going good, Lord help me with my nutrition. Take today for example... I had a Myoplex, which is great right after a workout because it's high protein and yet balanced at the same time, which from all the research I've read is something your muscles need after being shredded... but as far as lunch was concerned, my house has no good quality food in it unfortunately. And unfortuantely, I live with people who eat MAYBE twice a day. And apparently they went out to breakfast when I was at the gym this morning, so by the time lunch rolled around, I was the only guy in the house hungry... so here I am digging into the freezer to pull out one of those frozen turkey dinner things from Marie Callendar's (which by the way, are very tasty and small portioned), but Lord knows it would've been better to have a sandwhich or something more balanced... but, alas, no sandwich stuff in the house today...

And yes I know, many will ask why I don't just go shopping for myself.. well, I just started my new job and don't get my first paycheck till sometime in June, so I'm out of luck till then! Hmmm and apparently tonight is prime rib... hope I can control myself! Lord knows I probably put ON bodyfat from the poor food around here...

Stumbled on your blog as I was searching for lyrics to the mele "Aloha No"---still haven't found them.

Quite an interesting collection of thoughts you have presented. Don't know how you get the comments, so I will make one about a previous post: The story you told about working the prayer session inwhich the minister asked for forgivness for the overthrow of the Queen----your account was extremely powerful. Mahalo for that vision.

In conveying the tale of the circumstances of those times, I have written a mele entitled "Aloha Aina", which you likely know was the protest movement that followed the overthrow.

My lover, a local boi from Waipahu (who, btw, also dances), and I wll be "going home" for a few weeks to touch the Aina, starting June 7th. It's always good to get out of LA and to "kakikapila in the old Hawaiian way" (have ukulele,will travel).

Any how, mahalo for the interesting blog stuffs. Mine, here, is not nearly as interesting---hehe

He is also the person who is credited with bringing the concept of the four major Hawaiian gods and the 'aikapu religion to these islands. Here's that story about the Tahitian prophet Pā‘ao, written by Samuel M. Kamakau on December 29, 1866 in the Hawaiian newspaper, Ka Nūpepa Kū‘oko‘a.

A story about Pā‘ao. The reason that Pā‘ao left his birthplace was because of a fight between himself and his older brother Lonopele. Lonopele was a priest, and a very powerful person, intelligent, possessing knowledge of basically everything within his craft. Both Pā‘ao and Lonopele were cultivators. Lonopele cultivated his land to fruition; and he planted a great many fruit trees in his garden. At one time, the fruits that Lonopele had planted were stolen, and he thought that Pā‘ao’s child had been the culprit, therefore, he approached Pā‘ao, and accused his child of stealing the fruit. Pā‘ao quickly asked, “Did you actually see the fruits of your bushel destroyed by my child?” Lonopele answered, “I saw your son walk in there, and although I did not see him take the fruit, I truly believe that he is the troublemaker.” Pā‘ao responded, “If that is true, I will cut open the stomach of my child, and if your fruits cannot be found, then what?” “That is not my idea, but yours,” said Lonopele. “When have you ever seen the slicing open of a person’s stomach, with you would be that guilt of cutting your child.” Pā‘ao answered, “No, I am going to cut open the stomach of my child, and if the fruit is there, you will be right, if there is not, then you will be at fault.” Pā‘ao’s mind was made up, and so, he gouged out the stomach of his son, and there was no fruit to be found, therefore he ordered Lonopele to look at the evidence, but, Lonopele answered, “You are perhaps the one to look in the stomach of your child.” At this, Pā‘ao became overcome with grief, and cried out, “I will find some way to kill your son, you have betrayed me, and I will leave this land.” And thus, Pā‘ao built many canoes for the voyage, and when the canoes were lashed, they were great canoes, therefore, he then set a prohibition that no one would should walk about until the sanctifying ceremony was done. The prohibition lasted a long time. And during this time, the son of Lonopele approached, and slapped the side of the canoes. When Pā‘ao heard the thumping sound of the canoes, he asked his men, “What is this thudding sound at the canoes?” His men answered, “It is the child of Lonopele, he is slapping the canoes.” Pā‘ao ordered that he be brought and killed. Lonopele’s son was caught and beaten until dead, Pā‘ao then consecrated the canoes and freed the tabu, and then this aforementioned child was taken and placed under the wooden block supports at the back of the canoes. In about two or three days, Lonopele arrived in the area that Pā‘ao’s canoes were set up, to search for his child and to wonder at all the flies around the area. Lonopele then looked at all the canoes and admired them for their beauty. He looked them over from front to back of the canoe, but then he saw a swarm of nalo paka flies under the back supports of the canoes, and when he looked closer, he saw his own child laying there, beaten to a pulp. Upon seeing this, his grief became insurmountable, and he began wailing in lament and slapping his chest in grief and anger towards Pā‘ao. He then said to him, “You are indeed a strange one, Pā‘ao. You killed your son, and here you sought to condemn my son and have him killed. You really need to leave because you are an evil man.” Lonopele then took his son home while wailing and weeping with grief. The canoes of Pā‘ao were named Ka-nalo-a-mu‘ia, the swarming of the flies. And because of Lonopele’s banishment of Pā‘ao, Pā‘ao made ready all the necessary supplies for the long journey across the ocean. There were thirty-eight people who traveled on these canoes; two stewards, a chief named Pilika‘aiea and his wife Hina-‘au-kekele, whom was also called Hina-‘au-aku, and Nā-mau‘u-o-Malaia, the sister of Pā‘ao. Pā‘ao was the expert, the priest, consecrated for his voyage to search for new land. When all was ready and everyone was aboard the canoes, a prophet came and stood on the cliff of Ka‘akōheo, and called out to Pā‘ao, “O Pā‘ao, I am also one who wants to go with you.” Pā‘ao then asked, “What are you?” “A prophet.” “What is your name?” “Lele-koa‘e,” answered the aforementioned prophet. Pā‘ao then called out for him to jump. The prophet leaped forward, and fell upon the rocks below, and died. There were many prophets that were tried by Pā‘ao, so that their power as prophets would be known, but, they were all killed. Pā‘ao and his entourage continued sailing until the canoes were nearly out of sight and the sails were only a sliver against the horizon, when this prophet stood upon the cliff of Ka‘akōheo, and called to Pā‘ao and his company saying, “O Pā‘ao, take me too.” He called out two or three times before Pā‘ao could discern this voice calling out, and when he looked, there was this prophet standing on the cliff of Ka‘akōheo. Pā‘ao asked, “ What are you?” This prophet quickly responded, “A prophet.” Pā‘ao then asked, “What is your name?” “Makuaka‘ūmana,” responded the prophet. Pā‘ao then answered, “The canoe is full, but here is a spot left on the projection of the stern of the canoe.” “That place is for me.” Pā‘ao then called out to the prophet to jump. Makuaka‘ūmana lept forward, like a bird he flew and landed on top of the projection and held onto the end of the canoe.Makuaka‘ūmana then answered, “Here I am, where should I go?” “Onto the platform between the canoes,” said Pā‘ao. In the prophecy of Kalai-kua-hulu is this, “A fragile-tailed fish am I, Moving swiftly before the heavens, Traveling the dark, dark ocean That roars at Halekumukalani I am the man, Makuaka‘ūmana, The prophet who traveled the islands, Who went around the back of the Pillars of Kahiki, Who leapt and sat on Kaulia [“a perching place”] When Pā‘ao and his crew were out on the ocean, Lonopele sent many problems their way, strong Kona winds, the ‘Āpuku, the Kīkīao, the Lele-ku‘i-lua, the Ho‘oilo-lele-aka, the winds Haunone, and the Moa‘e-kū that destroys villages. Pā‘ao however, had prepared beforehand to clear the disasters brought on by power, and had secured matt covers over the canoes. When the winds were strong, the aku fish crowded around and the ‘ōpelu fish would cause the sea to ripple; thus the winds would calm, and the sea would flatten. (To be continued.)

This and other historical accounts written by Samuel M. Kamakau can be found in "Tales and Traditions of the People of Old: Nā Mo‘olelo a ka Po‘e Kahiko". And yes, the stories are in English. =) They have been translated by Mary Kawena Pukui, co-author of the Hawaiian Dictionary.

There you have it.. hope I survive... Yeah it's not a whole lot of weight, but one of the things that's been drilled into my head by the program I'm on is... you don't need a lot of weight to stimulate the muscles to build. So sometimes, I crack up at the guys who are big yet you can see all the fat on their bods trying to lift the huge weights, and although they can do it.. they don't have definition =). So I guess weight isn't everything, is it? =)

Ok, granted it's not a fantastic job, and not even a full-time job at that (trust me, its' impossible to find a full-time job in this town..) but at least it's money coming in! I'm an usher for the Blaisdell Center which is made up of 3 concert/sports venues... the Waikiki Shell, which is an outdoor amphitheatre.. the Blaisdell Sports Arena... and the Blaisdell Concert Hall! That means that while I work, I get to watch all the hottest concerts and broadway shows and sporting events that come into town... Ok, not like I'm dying to see the next WWE Super Brawl, or the next major Ultimate Fighting match... but, at least I get to see whatever comes into town... in the past we've had Janet & Michael Jackson, Elton John, Celine Dion, Diana Krall to name a few... plus all the big broadway hits like Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables, Miss Saigon, RENT, Jesus Christ Superstar, Cats, Lord of the Dance, Evita... So anyway, I'm just happy to know that I now have a job that's bringing in some money, and it's a job that I enjoy and that I plan to keep for the rest of my life, because well... basically they can work around your schedule no matter what, so that works for me!|W|P|111589103088604281|W|P|You bettah work bitch!|W|P|bfljock79@gmail.com5/12/2005 04:37:00 AM|W|P|Blogger Andy|W|P|Congrats!

Greetings to you all, from one corner of the globe to the other! Well, this next chapter in Hawaiian history is kind of long, so I've decided to split it up in two... This section of "Hawaiian Antiquities" by David Malo talks about the royal genealogy of the Hawaiian chiefly lines, and the coming of voyagers from Tahiti to these islands in 400 AD to integrate with the existing ruling lines of Hawaiian chiefs. Again, "Hawaiian Antiquities" was written by a native Hawaiian historian, David Malo, in the 1850s and 1860s. One of the paramount aspects of Hawaiian history and culture and status is a person's genealogy, and as such, it is and was always seen as a thing of honor to recollect and pay tribute to your ancestors... for without them, you would not exist right? So... why don't you pull up a chair and relax with me as we take a look back into Hawaiian history and to those people who began to mold one of the most industrious races (according to British explorers) on the planet ;).
Chapter 4 -About the Generations After Wākea-
  1. From the time of Wākea until the death of Haumea (Papa, Wākea’s wife), there were 6 generations of people, it is said that they lived in ‘Ololomehani, but it is not stated that they lived anywhere else, or that they came here to Hawai‘i to live.
  2. After these 6 generations, came 19 more generations of people, one of which it is said, migrated here and stayed, because of the 20th generation, there is a man named Kapawa, and it is said of him that he was born at Kūkaniloko in Waialua, O‘ahu.
  3. And from the time of Kapawa until today, births have been seen and recorded, however it is not stated that they came from ‘Ololomehani and settled here, and it is not recorded whom the first traveler to arrive in Hawai‘i was, nor that they came by canoe, and it is not known exactly when they arrived in these islands.
  4. It is believed that these people are from areas around Tahiti, and from Tahiti itself, because the ancient people first mention the name Tahiti in their chants, prayers and legends.
  5. Here are some of the place names preserved in the chants: Kahiki-honua-kele, Anana-i-malu, Hōlani, Hawai‘i, Nu‘u-hiwa; places in legends: ‘Upolu, Wawau, Kūkapuaikū, Kūaihelani, Melemele, Polapola, Ha‘eha‘e, Mo‘oku‘ululu, and Hānakalanai.
  6. Perhaps these land names are in Tahiti, but where are they? Perhaps our ancestors first inhabited Tahiti for a spell, and then traveled on and settled here in Hawai‘i.
  7. And perhaps due to their love of Tahiti and of Hawai‘i, they gave the name Kahikinui to a district on the island of Māui, and perhaps that is why they named the archipelago Hawai‘i, or if not, perhaps Hawai‘i was the name of the first person to arrive here in Hawai‘i, or perhaps Māui, O‘ahu or Kaua‘i, and when they passed away, these islands were named in their honor.
  8. The following is one way by which knowledge regarding Tahiti arrived here. It is said that Pā‘ao and Makuaka‘ūmana and a whole bunch of other folk traveled here from Kahiki deciphering the heavenly position of the stars as their compass, and that Pā‘ao settled in Kohala (Hawai‘i island) and that Makuaka‘ūmana returned to Tahiti.
  9. Pā‘ao arrived in Hawai‘i during the rule of Lono-ka-wai, king of Hawai‘i Island, he (Lono-ka-wai) was the 16th in the line of chiefs to follow Kapawa in succession.
  10. Pā‘ao continued to live in Kohala until Hawai‘i’s chiefs became corrupted with power, at which time Pā‘ao sailed back to Tahiti to find a chief, and Pili (Pilika‘aiea) was that chief. He sailed back to Hawai‘i with Pā‘ao and became part of Hawai‘i’s line of chiefs.
  11. It is thought that Kapua in Kona (a district on Hawai‘i island) was the area from which Pā‘ao departed for Tahiti on his canoe, however it is not known what kind of canoe he sailed. In his voyage to Hawai‘i, Pili was accompanied by Pā‘ao and Makuaka‘ūmana, along with several others. Kanaloaanuia was the name of the fleet of canoes on which they traveled, but it is not stated whether these canoes were of the pahi (Tahitian) origin.
  12. Here is something that was said about Pili’s journey here. Two schools of fish traveled along with him, the ‘ōpelu and the aku, and when the wind kicked up on the ocean, the aku would become frisky, and the ‘ōpelu would cause the water to ripple, and thus the wind would die down, the ocean would become calm and glassy. It was in this way that Pili was able to travel safely to Hawai‘i, and for that reason, the aku and the ‘ōpelu were put under special protection. When Pili arrived in the islands, he was installed as ruler of Hawai‘i island, and he became one of the ancestors of Hawai‘i island chiefs.
And there you go... part one of chapter 4.... And tomorrow or Wednesday… the story of Pā‘ao and Makuaka‘ūmana, and why they came to Hawai‘i in the first place according to another Hawaiian historian, Samuel Mānaiakalani Kamakau, written in 1866. I know you're just dying to know, right?? =))

It's from one of the top hula schools in the world, Hālau o Kekuhi from Puna on the island of Hawai‘i. Hālau o Kekuhi is a hula school, that in this day and age is a rareity... it is a hālau that has been passed down in one particular family from one generation to the next for thousands of years. It is current cared for by sisters Pualani Kanaka‘ole Kanahele and Nālani Kanaka‘ole, daughters of the world-reknowned hula master Edith Kekuhikuhipu‘uoneonāali‘iokohala Kanaele Kanaka‘ole. The group is known for the ‘aiha‘a style of hula which is characteristically grounded and bombastic. Hālau o Kekuhi has been responsible for some of the greatest hula productions to ever grace a stage. Their most recent endeavour was a collaboration with a local modern dance troupe on a production called "Hānau Ka Moku". In Hawai‘i, we have many deities and legendary heroes in our native culture. One of the greatest and most revered of these is Pelehonuamea, goddess of our volcanoes. According to tradition, she currently resides in Halema‘uma‘u Crater at the summit of the Kīlauea volcano on the island of Hawai‘i. One of the unique things about the Kanaka‘ole sisters is that they are actually able to trace their genealogy back to Pelehonuamea herself. And as such, they are the keepers of the Pele hula tradition. Within the last 20 years or so, scientists have discovered a brand new island forming off the coast of Hawai‘i island which they have called "Lō‘ihi", meaning "tall or long"... however, the Kanaka‘ole family and Hālau o Kekuhi feel that this description is too general and lacks proper dignity and respect for Pele's latest creation. Therefore, they have given the new island the name "Kama‘ehu" which means "red child." Naturally, this is more appropriate name, alluding to the red volcanic image of fire and the current red dome of the new volcano showing on archival footage.

Anyway, long story short... this new cd that Hālau o Kekuhi has released, "Puka Kama‘ehu", is a collection of chants and dances from this most recent show. Being that there have always been chants passed down for thousands of years about several of the active volcanoes on Hawai‘i island including Mauna Kea, Hualalai, Mauna Loa, and Kīlauea, the time has come for new chants to be composed that express our inner most connections to these volcanoes and more specifically, the new volcano currently being built as it joins its older brothers. So as you can see my excitement... not only is this cd a "soundtrack" of the latest "offspring" of Hālau o Kekuhi, and a great one at that... but it is also the beginning of a new tradition of chants for Kama‘ehu, chants that perhaps will still be learned and danced to thousands of years from now. And being that the Kanaka‘ole clan are direct descendants of the fire goddess herself, I cannot think of anyone better to create chants and dances to exalt the creative force that is Pelehonuamea. You can find a copy of "Puka Kama‘ehu" and some audio clips here. Oh, and in case you're thinking that the name Kanaka‘ole sounds familiar, it is... A little while ago I raved about a new album called "Welo" by Kaumakaiwa Kanaka‘ole, son of noted chanter and celebrated musician Kekuhi Kanahele, daughter of Pualani Kanaka‘ole Kanahele.

Hmmm... next week it's time to change the workout a little. Supposedly, every four weeks you should change the workout so your muscles don't get used to doing the same 'ole thing day in and day out... The thing I really need to concentrate on is my diet. I get in about 4 meals a day, but I know I could eat better quality food.

I also seem to be getting ill... I need to up my vitamins and get my ass in bed real quick. On teh positive side, I have to go in and fill out some paper work for my new job with the concert hall tomorrow morning. Have a good one everybody!

You can check out my little bit on David Malo and this book here on my posting of Chapter 2 of the book. There you'll also find a link to the English version that you can purchase if you feel so moved (the Hawaiian version is out of print).

The Origin of Hawai‘i’s People

  1. In Hawaiian ancestral genealogies, it is said that the earliest inhabitants of these islands were the ancestors of all the Hawaiian people.
  2. According to the genealogy called the Kumulipo, it is said that a woman was the first human, La‘ila‘i was her name, and the that her ancestors and her elders were just the night, that from her comes the population.
  3. Keali‘iwahilani was the name of La‘ila‘i’s mate, but it is not indicated who Keali‘iwahilani’s parents are, it is said that he comes from the heavens, that he looked down and saw a beautiful woman named La‘ila‘i living in Lalowaia, Keali‘iwahilani descended onto the earth and slept with La‘ila‘i, they gave birth to a child, and this was the progenitor of the entire Hawaiian population.
  4. And following the La‘ila‘i clan, it is again told in the ‘Ololo genealogy, a man was the first human being, Kahiko being his name, his parentage and ancestry are given, but without explaining their character; it is only said that he was a human being.
  5. Kupulanakēhau was the name of Kahiko’s wife, and from them were born Līhau‘ula and Wākea; Wākea had a wife, Haumea was her name, this is indeed Papa, and it was said about this wife Haumea, in the genealogy called Palikū, that the mountains and cliffs were her parents and grandparents, and through her it is confirmed that the rest of the Hawaiian population come forth.
  6. These are the only humans spoken of in the earliest genealogies, and therefore it is assumed that they were the original inhabitants and progenitors of the Hawaiian race, however it is not stated that they were born here in Hawai‘i, perhaps they were born in foreign lands, but their genealogies were preserved here.
  7. Because, it is stated where all these people lived; La‘ila‘i and Keali‘iwahilani, they dwelled in Lalowaia; Kahiko and Kupulanakēhau, they lived in Kamawa‘elualani; Wākea and Papa spent their lives together in Loloimehani… however, there are no areas in Hawai‘i known by these names today.
  8. There is another thing that is indicated in the genealogies, during the time that Wākea and Papa divorced, Papa leaves to live in a placed called Nu‘umehalani(Nu‘umealani). Perhaps theses names belong to a foreign land.

Ahhh what a rich culture, don't you think so? So many different genealogies, so many stories of existance... what a beautiful thing =). As we go on, you'll see that most of historical records will follow the story of Papa and Wākea, our version of Earth Mother and Sky Father.
