(I don't go on Friendster much at all. I am more about Myspace. Check it out: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&frien did=163857) I am living Aloha. I am watching the Maui sun set and the palm trees sway. I'm going surfing on Saturday. I am liking what I am finding in myself here on Maui. Self-discovery is suiting me quite nicely this time around. I am learning a lot from this life. Perfect, I am not (Yoda really loves me though). Flawed for life! But hey, progress for life as well... I'm trading in my fists for compassion. I just know it's going to be a good trade! Guilt is for cowards. I am learning to take on more personal responsibility and am looking for others who are heading that way as well... I am learning to trust myself more so that I can trust y'all more... Trying to settle conflicts over email DOES NOT WORK. It only gets you into more conflicts and is a real bitch. Don't ever do it! I have finally learned that one... On a lighter note!...I like listening to Hawaiian music on Hawaiian radio. Old school is da best, but you can't beat the cover songs. If you never really understood the lyrics to "Leather and Lace," well Hawaiian radio is the place to learn! Who knew that Stevie Nicks was really singing: "Youre saying Im fragile...I try not to be I search only...for something I cant see." A revelation! Also, it seems as though there is at least one sweet and cheezy song written about every town on every island of Hawaii. It's rad! I am so grateful for so many things in my life. Thank you Universe. Right now I am especially thankful for my last love relationship. Wow, such great lessons. Thank you J. p.s. I am one tall drink of water!

Searchers and Growers. Not Show-ers. Well, showing and growing are pretty cool, actually. Show yourself, grow yourself. Be strong and accepting of where you are at, but have the back door open for growth and change. Being able to say you are wrong is pretty important. I love people who are able to deal with getting shit right out on the table, whether it be conflict or love. Listen as loud as you can scream. Show up. Being fanatical about music, movies, and films is a definite plus. yeeeeow.
