Leaving On A Jet Plane

[April-n-Gary 17]

But I know when I'll be back!

Flying out tonight to pick up my sweetie, so we can start our new life together.

Just spent the last couple of days trying to clean the Hale (guess it'll be the Casa now). Of course I know it won't be up to her standards living alone for all these years, you tend to pick up a few bad habits. Keep teasing her that I wasn't going to clean, so that she'll have something to keep her occupied while I"m at work.

Got everything set on her end, visa in hand, CFO completed w/sticker stuck, got our reservations for the 25th all set, just trying to get us upgraded to business class. That I don't understand, flight is almost empty (13 in business class) according to the seat selector, but they are still asking for 90k each for one way! While the flight out only has 4 seat left in business class and it's only 45k. Guess I just have to keep calling, or we'll have to suck it up in steerage with the rest of the cattle!

Hawaii guys have always been the most racist people I have met

just an honest assesment

Hey Bruddah, life is hard on da island. Try being a teen Haole on Oahu, and you will KNOW what hard really is...

Screw you haole! Just joking! Really!!

Have you ever noticed that it's usually only the white people that say that? IMHO, When they come from the rest of the US, where whites are the majority population, and then come to Hawaii where now they are no longer the majority it just screws with their reality.

Maybe we're not so politicly correct most of the time, but we are aware of the differences different cultures bring to the stew pot, most of the time we celebrate them, but also have fun at their expense, even long assimilated cultures.

If there is any real anger towards the whites, it's among a vocal minority of Native Hawaiians (using that term loosely, cause there are very few, if no pure Hawaiians anymore). But I think you could understand, since a group of American business men over thru their Queen, and when the US President told them to give it back, ignored the order and still took over the government, aided by US Marines. Oh, and brought in western diseases and killed off more than 50% of the population.

What really gets me are the non-locals who move to Hawaii for the great natural beauty, weather and, "aloha spirit". Then proceed to block access to the beaches, trails, and try to turn Hawaii into the mainland. There was actually a pretty good South Park episode about it.

Ummm, sushi IS rice...

[April-n-Gary 17]

Yup, been in the military too, funny thing is...at least for the Hawaii guys, people you wouldn't give the time of day to back home, become your best buds when away, just because...

And yes, as with most groups (or clicks) once you can prove that you can fit in, you'll be part of the gang too. Did you ever think that maybe that association might have made it easier to fit in with the filipino lifestyle? lots of similarities, hell some of them might have be filipinos.

Ummm, sushi IS rice...

sushi is to rice, as french toast is to bread

[DavenRoxy 1,073]

Drives me nutz when peoples refer to sashimi as sushi. Kinda weird, dontcha think, eating rice & rice?
