I Got Dibbs on Top!





So this is my new room in my new house and it's basically the greatest. Me and Matt built these king size bunk beds on saturday. They are so great...really they are. The only problem is that we both wanna be on the bottom because it's like a giant cave under there and it makes you feel like a little kid. So we worked out this plan that whoever gets home first and goes to sleep first gets to pick which bed they want. It's gonna be loads of fun when Greg moves in with us. Haha! The other picture is the view of the ocean off my balcony. I love this place. I can't wait to see all you utah and california people in a week! Oh and the car got a new upgrade...the stickers complements of Timmy V. (they're covering up some rust spots. haha.)

I Get By With A Little Help From My Friends





This last little while has been way fun...a lot of friends and a lot of good times. Gotta new place that i'm moving into soon and basically just having a great time. I'm a little afraid of what my grades might look like this semester, but i sure have had a lot of good days surfing. Ha ha. Life is RAD.

Productivity




So today i went surfing with some of my way rad friends out here in hawaii. We went to gas chambers and ripped (i brought my underwater camera that i'm still trying to master) and after surfing we got some tacos from an old van on the side of the road ($5 each...mexican foods a little hard to come by out here) and then we played some beached whale at waiamea. We were all talking about it on the way home cause it felt like a very productive day for all of us...i guarantee that today would not be considered productive to anyone reading this right now...i love life!

YoHo YoHo a Pirates Life For Me!



Hey everyone...just wanted to post some pictures of my halloween costume. Me and my friend Pat dressed up as pirates and basically made our costumes. They were way rad. Halloween was a lot bigger deal here than I thought it was going to be. I have never seen so many people trick or treating before. Later.

Home Made Trunks



So things have still been great here in Hawaii. I just became an uncle once again...Shellie and Scott just had a little girl, Avery Christine Mcdonald. I'm excited to see her over christmas break. Anyway...these are some boardshorts i made the other day on a borrowed sewing machine. They're still a work in progress, i mainly just have to finish hemming the bottom, but they turned out pretty cool. It's all about retro. Life's great!

Getting the Real Island Experience




So i live with my cousin Matt Bracken right now and the kid's a total stud. He spent the last two years of his life in Tonga and totally learned how to live off the land, but not just any land, the "I" Land. So anyway...i have been learning a lot of new things. i can now climb a palm tree and get my own coconuts, spear fish and eat them raw, and open a coconut with my pearly whites. Ya so...i thought i'd put up some more pictures and let you all see what my life has been like. I love Hawaii and the north shore with it's totally amazing waves. I'm still working on my master plan on how i can live out here for a very long time...it's a work in progress. Later!

The Doo Doo Boy!


This, my friends, is the Doo Doo Boy. I purchased it a couple weeks ago and it is my new best friend. Seriously I think it's the best island car ever. It's name comes from a sticker that came with the car and I refuse to take it off because it's just so perfect. Thought you'd be entertained by it. enjoy!

Livin' Lahaina


What up all you bloggers out there? I'm way new to all this bloggin' stuff but i figured that now that i'm basically on my own and all grown up this whole experience wouldn't be complete unless i had my own blogspot to write itellectual things on. I live on the North Shore of the island of Oahu in the state of Hawaii and i have never been happier. How can you beat perfect surf, a brand new skatepark, and a handful of rad friends? I don't think it's possible. I have some rad things i've picked up already (and i'm not talking about taberculosis) so i'll have to post some pictures so you can see everything. Shaka.
