ANOTHER ADVENTURE

In just a few more hours, I will be boarding a plane back to Hawaii.  I can barely contain myself.

The adventure of my life continues.  May not work for some, but it works for me.

What stories I will have to tell...

ALOHA FRIDAY

Aloha Friday gets folks all worked up.....

ALWAYS WELCOME

Truth be told, most folks are quite happy for the old geezer to pay a visit.  Mind, there is a lovely friend who hates me to come by without calling.  She thinks I am a bit anal about cleaning...

I can not wait to tap on doors of folks missed and visit.

TIP FOR THE DAY

LOVE in a word

Nothing says LOVE like ALOHA

LOVE TAP...

WAIKIKI AWAITS

It may not work for some but it is magic to me.

HAWAII CALLS

45 years ago, this old geezer heard the call of Hawaii.  The spirit of Aloha brought me to Waikiki many times over the years and even had me living on Oahu for 7 years at one point in me charmed life.  Were I to tell of the wondrous things seen and heard over the years would take far more time than the space here would allow.  There has been much change, in the islands and this old geezer, we are both not what we once were but the magic of younger days still is there.

After some sad times, this old geezer will return to the Land of Aloha, to make it home for the rest of days.  I have found that place which I want to die.  Mind, it is hoped that my departure from the land of the living is quite a bit of time off.

This old geezer is not unique.  There are many who have heard the call of Hawaii.  In the past, this old geezer has met and listen to the tales told of what brought folks to visit Hawaii.

Many come on holiday.  How grand it is to get away from the cold.  Some come for a week, others for longer periods.  How long the holiday lasts is dependent on the cash in the pocketbook.

Then there are the snowbirds, folks lucky enough to decamp the cold and spend the winter in the sun.  They come from Alaska, Canada and most of the states on the mainland that experience harsh winters.  Some of the folks have loads of cash and can rent condos for their holiday, others get weekly deals in budget hotels and then there are the backpackers.  Mostly young folks who feels that it is still possible to live off the land.  Just pitch a tent and all is right in the world.  Some even have visions of sleeping on the beaches.

Some folks land in Hawaii with very little cash.   They have come to experience ALOHA and feel that all will sort self out.  Sadly, it is not possible to come to Hawaii with no coin in pocket, and while there is much Aloha, these are also mean times and there is not much cash to give to folks in need.  All very sad to see good folks fall on hard times and one wonders what happens to some of them.

There are folks who come to Hawaii in search of jobs.  No clue what runs through the minds of some who feel that Hawaii is filled with jobs just waiting to be filled.  The hard economic times on the mainland have hit here as well.  Most who have been here long time, tend to have more than one job to make ends meet.  It may be the Land of Aloha, but it is bloody dear to live here.

Truth be told, the folks who come to Hawaii to soak in the spirit of Aloha and have adventures in a most wondrous place are the ones who come away from a Hawaiian Holiday much the richer.  They return to regular life much refreshed by what has been experienced here and with the magic of Hawaii deeply implanted into them, they will return again and again to drink from the well of Aloha.

This old geezer is blessed to be able to wake up each day to another life experience in Hawaii.  To soak in the warmth of the people and marvel at all of nature's wonders.  Trust me, I know how fortunate I will be.

I hope that Hawaii continues to call to folks.  With any luck, folks will come to Hawaii without 'great expectations and see it for what it is.  Mind, that in and of itself is grand...

I just hate those fecal moments while shopping.....

PICTURE MAKES ONE ANGRY

The person who took this snap shared it with me and his thoughts.  He said that it made him angry.

I agree. It makes me very angry to see this sort of wanton disregard for our environment.  Our fellow neighbours.

That abandoned trolley says a lot about how some abuse us all.

KISS KISS

Just when I thought it impossible for Ron to come up with another money making scheme, he surprises me yet again.

Ron adores pussies and feels that he is not alone.  Was struck with the idea to help visitors to Hawaii cope with being away from their pussies.

Taking a crayola to a large cardboard box, he readied his latest business.  At his last jumble in the carpark, he unveiled his newest cash cow.  It seems that the word spread like wildfire and they were queued up round the block to get a fix of feline love.

Who would have thought...

NEEDING A STROKE

Are there not times when you feel just like the pussy in the clip?  You need someone to give you a good stroke?

'HAPPY' IS THE BEST

A lifetime of searching has made me realize the honesty of the statement made by John Lennon.

I am more 'happy' now than have been in ages and that explains why I am having such a wonderful life at present.  Honest.  Life is pretty darn good at present.

CHEW ON THIS

Truth be told, not all of me posts are received with undiluted pleasure.  Some seem to cause folks to get feisty.  Take the post about crayolas...

It would appear that folks read my views in many different ways.  I just love it when I get the emails flowing, makes me know that folks are really reading the blog.  Mind, I had to defend myself about the lack of use of the 'black' crayola.

Comments gave me much to 'chew' on.....

MAKE LIFE COLOURFUL

I make it a point to NOT use the black crayola.  Splash out in full colour is my motto.

"I THINK I CAN" - INCLUSIVE, NOT EXCLUSIVE CHANT !

The story of the little engine has been told and retold many times. The underlying theme however is the same - a stranded train is unable to find an engine willing to take it on over difficult terrain to its destination. Only the little blue engine is willing to try, and while repeating the mantra "I think I can, I think I can" overcomes a seemingly impossible task.

"The little engine is a famous anthropomorphic locomotive"...........................much like Robert.


"I think I can, I think I can" says "The little Engine That Could".  All my life, I have been chanting.  Wanting to prove that I had the ability to move the massive amount of baggage I carried through life.

"I think I can, I think I can". MOI has believed in his ability to be whatever he wanted to be, nothing was or is impossible.

"I think I can, I think I can" says "The Little Engine That Could", AKA Robert. Truth be told, MOI is unsure if it is panache or pluck that allows him to believe that things can be sorted out by explaining to folks that things are never as bad as them seem and the future can be as bright as we dream it to be.

  Right, you are 'au fait' with are just beside selves with giggles round now.  Wicked you be!  Let me continue with me story....

It is the start of another year.  Am of the strong belief that 2015 is going to one heck of a year.  Wondrous things shall come to pass.

IN THE LAND THAT MADE ME, ME.....

Long ago and far away, in a land that time forgot,
Before the days of Dylan , or the dawn of Camelot.
There lived a race of innocents, and they were you and me,

For Ike was in the White House in that land where we were born,
Where navels were for oranges, and Peyton Place was porn. 

We longed for love and romance, and waited for our Prince,
Eddie Fisher married Liz, and no one's seen him since.
We danced to 'Little Darlin,' and sang to 'Stagger Lee'
And cried for Buddy Holly in the Land That Made Me,Me. 

Only girls wore earrings then, and 3 was one too many,
And only boys wore flat-top cuts, except for Jean McKinney.
And only in our wildest dreams did we expect to see
A boy named George with Lipstick, in the Land That Made Me, Me.  

We fell for Frankie Avalon, Annette was oh, so nice,
And when they made a movie, they never made it twice..
We didn't have a Star Trek Five, or Psycho Two and Three,
Or Rocky-Rambo Twenty in the Land That Made Me, Me.

Miss Kitty had a heart of gold, and Chester had a limp,
And Reagan was a Democrat whose co-star was a chimp.
We had a Mr. Wizard, but not a Mr. T,
And Oprah couldn't talk yet, in the Land That Made Me,Me. 
We had our share of heroes, we never thought they'd go,
At least not Bobby Darin, or Marilyn Monroe.  

We'd never seen the rock band that was Grateful to be Dead,
And Airplanes weren't named Jefferson , and Zeppelins were not Led. 
And Beatles lived in gardens then, and Monkees lived in trees,
Madonna was Mary in the Land That Made Me,Me. 

We'd never heard of microwaves, or telephones in cars,
And babies might be bottle-fed, but they were not grown in jars. 
And pumping iron got wrinkles out, and 'gay' meant fancy-free,
And dorms were never co-Ed in the Land That Made Me,Me.

We hadn't seen enough of jets to talk about the lag,
And microchips were what was left at the bottom of the bag.
And hardware was a box of nails, and bytes came from a flea,
And rocket ships were fiction in the Land That Made Me,Me. 

T-Birds came with portholes, and side shows came with freaks,
And bathing suits came big enough to cover both your cheeks. 
And Coke came just in bottles, and skirts below the knee,
And Castro came to power near the Land That Made Me,Me. 

We had no Crest with Fluoride, we had no Hill Street Blues,
We had no patterned pantyhose or Lipton herbal tea
Or prime-time ads for those dysfunctions in the Land That Made Me,Me.   

There were no golden arches, no Perrier to chill,
And fish were not called Wanda, and cats were not called Bill 
And middle-aged was 35 and old was forty-three,
And ancient were our parents in the Land That Made Me,Me. 

But all things have a season, or so we've heard them say,
And now instead of Maybelline we swear by Retin-A.
They send us invitations to join AARP,
We've come a long way, baby, from the Land That Made Me, Me.   

NEW YEAR PRAYER

 Truth be told, I wish this for each and every person known to.

Mind, some folks can not abide the old geezer being happy.....

Spirit of Christmas is 24/7, 365 days a year

Keeping the Spirit of Christmas alive 365 days of the year

My dears, when this old geezer took down all of the holiday decorations, he was most deliberate in keeping up the legend. There it be for all to see. Many comment on and some think MOI is either crackers or too bloody cheap to remove. MOI is not daft or cheap.......it is very deliberate on his part.

The legend of Christmas graces the main wall in the living room, hard to miss it be. Daily is MOI reminded that the good feelings got from the Christmas season past must be remembered and held onto. These be hard times, made meaner by some folks forgetting that love and goodwill toward their fellow man is not something we pack away in a box and drag out but a few days of the year.

MOI wants to let all who visit home that there is an effort here to never forget that that spirit is much needed, each and every day of the year. We need to be kind to one another, care about each other and cling hard to the belief that what is good about us is alive More than just one day or a few weeks of the year.

The Spirit of giving is needed to be remembered throughout the year. Folks are still without, there be much poverty and times are still mean, the cupboard is still without food and families still struggle to keep it together.

Some on road lived and community a part of will always want more, fail to give any part of selves to others. It is up to the truly brilliant folks to remember that it is still important to reach out to the deserving and to share a little of ourselves.

MOI is going to keep his good cheer the whole year and hopes that all known to him will do the same.

Our capacity to love one another and to share needs to be a year long event, if we did that, how grand Christmas 2015 will be.
