This is a picture of me and Arvin hiking in Manoa Valley.  During this one, Ara, Arv, Leah and myself carved our names into a wooden electric pole.  One day I'd like to go back and see if they are still there.

 
Ah, this brings back memories. I am signing the release form at a tattoo parlor, and Arvin is pointing at the spot where it was going to be put.  I called him and Ara over to participate in madness, since I decided out of the blue to get a tattoo that day.  90 minutes later, I was branded for life with a bit of body art!

oi Here's Arv and some of the Guam crew enjoying a cigar night.  If I remember correctly, this was the same day I got my tattoo.  The  dude wearing this Jewish cap that worked there also accused us of stealing cigars...we wanted to wait outside until they closed and mob the guy.

This is a going away dinner that my Disney World friends threw for me before I left Hawaii.  From left to right, it's Cyn-D, Amy, Eric, Me, Rey, and Gwen.  The place was Angelo Pietro's, an awesome Eurasian place.

 
This is Ara, Arv, Ray, Jackie, and Hector.  I'm taking the picture, so obviously I'm not in it.  We are in Waikiki, to watch "The Matrix".

 
Here's Ara, Leah and Lani, as well as myself in the middle of bleaching Ara's hair.  Ara couldn't stand it when Lani and I had to touch her head to put the bleach on.

This is Cliff's brother Darrell.  We are in my car cruising around Waikiki the next day after Cliff's wedding.  "Shaka" brah!

 
This is at Kapiolani Community College's cafeteria.  I am sitting there with Ara, holding a playing card in my "Mystical Magician" pose.  As you can see, she's not embarassed at all with me making that face in public while I'm right next to her.  Ha Ha!

 

  
Here's a big group picture of everybody at Cliffod and Wendi's wedding doing "anykine".  Basically, everyone goofed around for this picture.  This was one fun day, hopefully my wedding will be as memorable.

Goodbye's are hard, but seldom are forever.  This was goodbye for now, but Hawaii will always be home to me.
