so. you know. i think a lot of people may take what i do for granted. slightly. i mean... do you REALLY know how much time it takes to do this? i know sarah does. i know maka does.

well anyway... i had one of the worst weeks possible at work. because of that i didn't really have much energy to fuck around at night. when i finally DID go out i didn't have the canon. my new old camera has the infamous "e18" so i am back to the old gangster canon that i hate soooo much. ugh. so ya... thursday night was EPIC tho people. me and grant went to irefune for a nice quiet japanese dinner and shared about 6 bottles of sake. then about two more. then met up with keola and the lost enterprise type skate rats and had two more! after dragging pat and tom and heather over to mai tais, i pretty much don't remember anything else. it was rad.

friday was the lost party at hard rock. i know you were there. i fuckin saw ALL of you there. it was so sad too, because the second thing out of everyone's mouth was "where's your camera?". ugh. sorry. but i think sarah documented that night pretty damn well. try look if you haven't already. her shit is legit, people.

anyway, MY blog doesn't really start til saturday. when i had my piece of shit canon out. thank god for sarah. seriously.


these boys are from california. they were all in town for a wedding-- sarah met them on friday night and i ran into them again at wailanas. spent the rest of the night til morning cruising with them. they were SO fuckin rad.


i was particularly pleased with the kid on the right, "hot" shane. that's oliver with him... who is equally pleasing.


so if you don't know.... now you know. flash's new assistant ROCKS.


oh, by the way. it's saturday night and we're all at chai's. thanks to russ and the architechts for hosting an open bar. we seriously love you.


portraits!

so tonight was fuckin epic! EVERYONE showed up to chais and we all wound up staying pretty much all night... cruised by the wave after. ran into rick, who was celebrating his birthday and hot shanelle who. just. rules. period. we kicked it for a bit... cruised to living room.. then wound up at that beach party at diamond head. were you there? shit was tight! but shit was also DARK!. couldn't really see who was there so we sat on the beach and watched these kids fuck. was that you? BUSTED! we saw you! we watched forever while that dude gave you a light show. weirdos! haw haw.

anyway. sunday nights just don't get any better than club deville, yo.
fucking grant. will you EVER let me get a shot....


me and grant were STILL hungover from our thursday night antics. we sat at the bar tonight making up all sorts of random drinks. this one is patron with 7-up and limes.


it actually wasn't too bad. tasted like a lighter margarita.


mattyboy's new phone/laptop. fucking gangster.


what the..... WHAT THE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ladies and gentlemen! may i be so honored to introduce..... stone groove family. pool pirate. my homeboy. GRANT FUKUDA!!! (please don't tell him i put him in here... he may kill me. i think)
<

i don't usually "take requests" and such... but philip called me from iraq and asked that i document a patron shot for him. some people will go anywhere if the price is right, and apparently, in iraq they are paying out the wazoo. it's enough to even get me thinking about a year over there.... i'll keep you posted.
but ya, philip. for you. and this is also for you, shane. because you rule. and everyone misses you and appreciates the sacrifice you made.




GAWD i fucking HAAAAATE this shit. ugh. but i love you guys.
