We both choose to work pretty much right up until we were about to move. It made sense, we weren’t leaving till the 24th so why bother with worrying about taking off from work. WRONG!! We were both so busy with working and hanging with friends and family that we practically didn’t sell any thing in our apartment. My TV and the bookshelf. Yup, that was it. Basically everything was either given away or thrown away and boy was there a lot. Moving out of an apartment with the notion that not much is coming with you is crazy. Usually with my last few moves, I’d move in to a new place just before I had to move out of the last. This way I can take my stuff and stick in the next no problem. In this case that just couldn’t happen. Everything had to go. So right up until our landlord came to check us out of the unit were we almost completely done.

Leaving the Aina, my only home. This is the tough part. We drive out back to Ewa Beach so that we can help drop off some stuff at my mom’s place. She can’t carry any of that up the stairs so it was cool. Then later we go visit my grandma. She almost got me crying so hard right then and there. I never felt her hug me so hard. I love her so much. I will be back for her 80th birthday in July. I will try and make it no matter what. Then off we go to the airport. We get to the airport and I’m struggling to carry everything to the check-in booth.  Talk about back breaking work. OMFG were these boxes and luggage heavy. We had to pay a little extra for two of them as they were well over 50lbs. We make it past that, then say goodbye to friends and family at the security check point. I almost cried with my mommy but I had to stay strong. If I didn’t I’m sure she would have balled out in tears. :’( Big shout out to my brother and Mina for helping with the luggage. Justin, Stan and Dominic for showing up wishing us luck and saying goodbyes. That was cool guys. In an interesting turn of events in an ironic sort of way, Julia found an old Co-Worker who was working that night with TSA from Home Depot. It’s interesting because you realize just how small the island is. She said her goodbyes to her and we were off to start our travels.

So we looked for the cheapest flight we could find and oh boy was that a stupid idea. Seriously fucking retarded LOL. Step one of our trip was to Fly from Honolulu to Bellingham airport in Washington at 11:50 pm. I thought to my self no biggie, I’m gonna be tired anyways so I’ll just sleep through the flight. WRONG! Trying to fall asleep on an airplane just doesn’t work for some reason. Julia can fall a sleep any where but not me. Especially since I was having an acid reflux attack mid way through the flight. Oh also my nose kept running so I’m irritating the guy next to me sniffing all the time. Then when I finally get a chance to nod off a little; it happens, a child starts crying. FFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! So I stayed up all night and watched some Anime and Hawaii Five-0. Kinda funny though I didn’t know Don K-Won was in that episode LOL. Good thing I loaded something on my Kindle. So as we start getting ready to land, the plane descends and Tiny instantly knows something is going on. LoL He’s crying and we can’t do anything but just try to keep him quiet.

So we finally land in Bellingham and OMFG! WE HAD TO WALK OUT SIDE?! AT 5AM IN THE MORNING!!! FUCK THAT WAS COLD!!!!!! Anyways, so we hear over head on the plane before we got out, “look to the TVs for information on your next flight if you are transferring to another flight.” Bullshit, there was only news on each TV. LoL So we just sat around waiting for someone to at least announce our flight numbers. Had some couple just totally PDAing on a set of chair right in front of us. LoL I guess they were going to Vegas and were all up in wanting to get busy before they get there. The boyfriend went some where and she came over to play with Tiny. Was hella funny since everyone thinks Tiny is this beautiful cat, and I agree with them. However, if they ever get to play with Tiny when he is full of energy they will understand how much of a terror he is. (No seriously. As I’m trying to type this Tiny is trying to bite  my arm because it is going over his head and he don’t like it. EXCUSE ME PUNK! NO ONE SAID LAY DOWN ON DADDY! LoL)

So eventually finally the flight over to Seattle arrives and WTF?! we are flying on a two-propeller crop duster LOL FUUUUUU!!!!! At least it was only an hour flight. We both just knocked the fuck out during that flight. So I don’t remember shit from it. Well except for a huge cramp in my shoulder from the odd way I fell asleep on Julia’s shoulder LOL. SO! We make it to Seattle, holy shit wtf? Do all airports on the west coast not want people to use their terminals to charge their shit while they wait for their flights? Ok Bellingham had a plug on the far end of the whole terminal but seriously hows a guys supposed to keep himself busy on a plane if every device he got is dead LOL. Anyways, we waited for the plane about an hour then we’re finally on our way to LAX. That was a good flight though as we basically just didn’t give a damn any more and just kept going through it. Lunch was a dish of fruits, cheese and crackers and another dish of some chicken pasta. It wasn’t to bad actually, just disappointed I had to pay for it LOL. At least on Hawaiian a sandwich is included with your flight. Oh wells.

ALRIGHT!! FINALLY MAKE IT TO CALIFORNIA! WOOOOOO!!!!!! So now what? Well initially I was going to have my aunty help us get to Matson at least to help us get the car but she got sick. I hope she is better by now. GET WELL AUNTY!!! Anyways, so instead I pre-booked a car from Alamo while we were in Bellingham. So we went and got our luggage from baggage claim and tossed it all on a shuttle bus to the Alamo depot. Ok what is the deal with all the car rental places being so damn far away from the main terminals? Like wtf? We get all the way to Inglewood before we even see Alamo. So anyways, finally over there and find a HHR for all of our boxes and luggage. It was a game of Tetris but we sure as hell got everything to fit. One thing though, we tried bringing some asian seasonings with us and well the Sesame Oil bottle exploded. Practically got all over the inside of one bag. So now the car smells like it. Now we are ready for our journey into California. Step one was to get the car from Matson. Step two make it just in time to move-in to our new apartment. Heh oh the things we really didn’t plan for.

Lets start with step one shall we? We landed at LAX about 2:30pm got to Alamo at about 2:45 pm and finally started going at about 3pm. We get “Sheila” going to take us en-route to Matson to pick-up the car. (If you don’t know “Sheila” you really should click on her name to educate yourself.) So as we start going, we realize “SHIT! Matson is in Long Beach?!” Now we really need to hurry. Get to the freeway and FFFFFUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we are stuck in LA traffic. FUCK! I look around frantically trying to find a faster route on this stupid freeway of doom. OH LOOK CARPOOL LANE!! LETS DO IT!!! Yeah that was not a good idea. Ok so people of Hawaii, lend me your ear! The carpool lane isn’t the same as the carpool lane in Hawaii! Literally in less than 30mins of driving on the freeway I’m already getting pulled over by the police. Apparently there are these double-solid yellow lines for the carpool lane and you can’t cross them until the lane opens up with solid white dashed lines.

The police officer got to the window and says, “What you didn’t see the double-solid yellow lines?”

I reply, “No what lines?” I pull out my Hawaii drivers license and I straight up told him “We just landed and have no idea about the lines.”

He asked, “What? You don’t have double solid yellow lines in Hawaii?” He pointed over to the lines and I notice that they are dividing up the carpool lane from the rest of the lanes of traffic.

“Not for our carpool lanes. We just go in and out as we please.”

Pissed he said, “Man I’m just striking out today. Well don’t do it again.” Not sure what he meant by striking out but what ever.

I asked, “Well can you explain how this works so I don’t do something wrong again?” He continued to explain about the lane and let us go.

Damn was that a close one. I had no idea about the lane though I just jumped right in and out to try and get through traffic. Now with that delay we decided to call Matson to figure out how late they were open til. Call, call, call, automated messaging, wrong numbers, everything going bad on contacting them. At this point it is about 3:30pm, still stuck in traffic, still getting no where fast and getting no answers. Finally about 3:45pm we get someone on the phone and we ask about their hours; 4pm closing time… FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So basically I been stuck in traffic for about an hour for NOTHING! AHHHHHH!!! Now before you start saying, “Why didn’t you just catch the plane to Long Beach?” I was told that the Matson facility was in LA. I didn’t know it would be some long distance drive to get to Long Beach and get to our car. I figured it would be close enough to get to. So scratch that idea of getting the car. So we decided FUCK IT, LETS MOVE ON TO STEP TWO!

Step two, move-in to new apartment YAY! Ok, two hours to get to Victorville, California. We can do this, I know we can. WRONG!!! FUUUUUUU!!!! Remember that traffic I was talking about? Yeah just as bad going the other way. All we had to do is make it there by 6pm. Well when 6PM rolled around guess what? We had just made it to I15… another parking lot. So instead of dealing with that crap, we pulled over at an AM/PM to think for a little while. We both decided to just stay at a Hotel in Victorville so that we could at least get to the town we are moving to and check it out a little. Was that a god send. A place to just fall a sleep for a little while and reset.

Heh sleep… Yeah right. We finally get to Victorville. It is about 8PM by this point. We were pretty hungry so after we dropped off some stuff in the hotel and relaxed a little we then did some exploring around town. Found our apartment complex, closed of course and eager to just move in. Found food, I got my self a chicken sandwich from Burger King. Chicken, shouldn’t be to bad for my acid reflux. WRONG! Anything fast food apparently wants to kill me. Took a shower and stayed up for a good portion of the night tossing and turning. So I went for a walk outside in the freezing cold. Holy shit, 38 degrees that night? I shot the picture above with my dSLR. Talk about having another panic attack at the same time. My camera wouldn’t auto-focus. I was freaking out! I wasn’t ready to just pass out yet so I did just keep walking around. Finally tired of the cold I pop back into the room and try to relax. My dSLR was bothering me though. I needed to know what was wrong. I popped out the battery and slapped it back in, fine. That’s all it needed. Oh wells, finally to tired to give a shit any more I passed out.

So just look at that there… That was basically one day for me. Throughout all of that I had one hour of sleep and a lot of fucking driving HAHAHA. I’m just glad I made it in one piece to the hotel. Now lets move on to day two and the reversal of steps. Step one Move-In to new apartment. Step two get the car.

We tidy up the hotel and check out at about 9:30am. I slept like a mother fucking champ so I’m feeling hella good now. Turn Sheila back on and have her navigate us to our apartment. Yeah I know we found it the night before but everything looks different from night and day. We get there, fill out a ton of paper work, get our keys and finally have our new apartment YAY! Take all of our bags and boxes and shove them into the apartment and head out for step two get the car. At this point it is about 12pm and there is NO TRAFFIC!!! OMFG! We took about an hour and a half to get there. Got a little lost trying to figure out where it was exactly in this industrial looking area but we got it. Left at about 2pm and were on our way. Now here’s the fun part. We now have two cars, the rental and her car. How do we caravan with only one working Sheila. Yes I know I  could have used my phone and her phone except, her phone the GPS navigation works. My phone the GPS chip is shit. (Good job Samsung).  So what do we do? Swap phones and I lead the way. Sheila gets me a good starting route and I get stuck in an exit lane going down some road. Good thing is? It’ll still lead me to Long Beach airport. So fuck it. Realizing I just pulled into a town I figured, great time to put gas in her car and the rental so I don’t have to pay an inflated price for gas. Head down and get lost a bit trying to find the LB airport but I finally get the car dropped off and we are done with everything that needed to get done YESTERDAY!!!

We celebrate by getting lunch close by at Spires and finally head the hell back home… in Traffic. So in short all I have been doing the past few days is FLYING AND DRIVING!!!! I’m so glad to be just laying on my back relaxing typing this. I’ll have another blog later talking about today and the things we did but until then my hands hurt from typing all of this.

Aloha!

Let’s face it, I’m a PC. Always have been but that doesn’t mean that I hate Steve Jobs, I just prefer PC products. I can say that I appreciate Steve Jobs for who he was. I’m not a big fan of the iPhone, but without it I know we would have never amounted to what we have today in mobile phones. I know that if it wasn’t for the iPod the music we listen to wouldn’t be as available as it used to be. Yes I know that there are many arguments to be had here when we discuss how iTunes could have brought the downfall to Tower Records and other music distributors. We should look past that as we now realize that without that innovation we wouldn’t have the thousands of new artists popping up all over the world. Artists can now go and distribute their music without slinging it from the back of their car.

It is fair to say that competition is what breeds innovation. Innovation is a way of thinking that outside of the box, but in competition it is also asking the question, “what is it that we can do to make this better.” Without competition there is no innovation and with the loss of a great innovative mind I can only hope that there will be someone else out there to push the boundaries. Innovate, create, design, establish, just a few words that the industry is built on. Just a few words that I believe Steve Jobs was responsible for putting into today’s technology.

R.I.P. Steve Jobs

This is just a short clip I think you all should watch.

Recently my aunty died from cancer just two weeks ago (June 26, 2011) and tomorrow we will be having the funeral. I’ve been fighting to stay strong this whole time but I’m finding harder and harder to do so. The family has requested that my cousin (her daughter), my brother and I sing a few songs for her. It was a hard challenge to choose a song for such a wonderful person. She lived through a time when music was up lifting, heartfelt, produced by those who sang them, a time when it wasn’t just about making money, but telling a story.

Right now I’m listening to some classical piano jazz music (well in the style of it even though it is Final Fantasy Songs) to keep my head up. Tomorrow we’ll be singing, and I’m going to try my best to keep my head up for her. Right now I know that things are better for her and she is no longer in pain. I just hope that the music we sing will reach her and bring her peace.

If you are wondering the songs we are going to be singing, I choose C&K – About You and everyone remembered that she loved The Eagles – Best of My Love. Two great songs.I remember back in the days when I was still working with KUMU and we had C&K playing a show for us. Mandy said something that I will never forget, “Through all the years of C&K music, there will always be one song that they can relate themselves to.” I’ve thought about it and I have a few that I can relate to, and tomorrow I can add one more track of theirs to my list. I love that song and I know she did too.

It is just amazing how much music is a big part of my life. Probably before I was even born music has been a part of me. I may not be the perfect singer and I know it, but that doesn’t stop me from singing. I play mediocre at best, but my family is still proud of the fact that I can play instruments. I will always be proud of the fact that my family thinks of my brother and I when it comes to doing something special.

I am especially proud of all things that my aunty was capable of doing in the life she lived. Oh the stories and memories that we shared. It was interesting to hear all the stories of what growing up for her was like. I thought I was crazy in all the things that I do, but back in the day sounds like even better times. I think I barely scratched the surface of what can and is possible. I am glad that she got to enjoy so many things in life and that she fulfilled so many things. She has two wonderful daughters who I am happy to have as cousins. An amazing husband whom I cherish as an Uncle. (Sorry uncle Brian for not taking a beer the other day, but I got my health problems too lol. Thanks for the water though.)

As for the words I never had the chance to say:

Aunty Renee,

I love you. You have always been a big part of my life. As screwed up as we always think we Criscolas can be, it is in our screwed up ways that make us amazing people to be around. It was always a blast the whole family getting together talking story like a bunch of drunk potogees. It was all those good times that I will forever remember. It was all those good times that make me remember what a great person you were. You a light in my heart that I will never let go out till my very own last breathe. You are a big piece of my heart that shall always remain and will be there to remind me that good times are a simple story, joke, smile, and a laugh away.

I love you Aunty Renee Ige-Criscola

Apparently someone thought it would be a good idea to walk off with a bag that just so happened to have my $3000 setup of camera equipment in it. My dumb fault for leaving it at the radio station and forgetting to take it with me. However, after all the things that I have done there, you would think that someone would have the decency to leave peoples shit alone!

I know I maybe blowing this way out of proportion here, but its $3000 worth of equipment… I think I’m staying in my zone by not calling every person in my phone book and interviewing each person one-by-one grilling them till they call me daddy.

Update: No new news about it, but here is a list of what is missing.

• Canon 30d
  
• Canon 17-40mm L lens
  
• Canon 580ex Mark II
  
• Sto-fen
  
• Small Blue Camera Style Backpack
  
• LED Flashlist 

All of this was worth $3000 new.
Since I’m not in the photo update mood here are a few links to what I was doing before today.

Yard House & Tsunami’s  – January 21 & 22, 2009: Went out a few nights… First night went to Yard House and had dinner with Dave Hisaka, Haz-Matt, Mortuary Chris, Chris Hughes, Ciara, and her friend Octavia. I had the (Mac + Cheese)2 and it was to die for haha. Next night had a sort of Tweet-up at Tsunami’s on Keeaumoku with Monchi! Haven’t hung out with her in forevers. always a good time with her hehe.

Chinese New Years – January 24, 2009: It’s been a while since I went actually walking around Chinatown for Chinese New Years, but this year was a blast. Ran in to a lot of friends and got to see a real competition type lion dance. That was really really cool.

Is that Heald College on fire? – January 30, 2009: Yup it was and I had my 15th floor view from my apartment.

Dave’s Going Away Party – January 30, 2009: This was Dave’s going away party. It is so sad to see him leave but he is going on to bigger and better things. We love ya Dave!! I know he is going to hate this, but “WE LOVE YOU BROTHER DAVE!”

This made me feel better, but if I don’t find my camera… well I guess i’m going to stop blogging. I don’t feel the need to anymore if I don’t.

FUCK!

In the movie an “Inconvenient Truth”  which was shown in 2006, Al Gore stated that car makers who made fuel efficient cars that people actually liked to drive sold better that cars that are not. A good example is all the trucks you see in dealer ships practically being given away today.

Here if you watch this video review at the LA Auto Show from a popular YouTube channel called “Garage 419″, there are points made about American car makers that make to much sense.

Points you should look for:

• 1:28 – The US auto maker presense.
• 1:56 – The Chrysler EV Minivan (It has a tail pipe?)
• 3:29 – How does a concept model that looks great turn into a god awful looking car?

More of what I think after the fold….

Anyway, enough about that video. Here is something else to talk about. Chevrolet. The brand new Corvette was going to be the new shining jewel of their whole line.

Now, it’s gone because they feel that it isn’t going to sell. I totally think it will. One good reason why it will sell is this:

Your probably asking your self right now, “Why?” or “What the hell does the GT-R have to do with the new Vette.” Well in my eye, everything. In the past few months its been available I have seen three brand new GT-Rs. Two black and one white. One of the black models has all of the available sports add-on. That makes that particular GT-R close to $135,000. Your now probably saying, “Yeah, but that’s because it’s so much a better car!” That on the other hand isn’t entirely true actually.

Now true, the base model ZR1 is a lot more expensive than the GT-R, but in order to get the same performance out of the GT-R you’ll end up spending more on the GT-R. Now true, most of us will never be able to afford any of these cars, but what I’m trying to say is Nissan had the balls to put it out there for people who really want a good fast car. GM on the other hand wants to focus on cars that suck.

Speaking of Focus. Ford announced that they are going to bring their prize winning Euro spec cars over from across the pond. This includes the Focus and Fiesta.

Screw JDM this and JDM that, “Check out my JDM tail lights!” Blah what ever. That is a base model sports Ford Focus. Now yes there are a lot of extra add-ons, but they are from the factory and not a third-party. Which means that if sport spec Focus looks like that, well lets just say you won’t be shamed driving mom’s little two-door hatchback.

Which leads me to another thought. If these designs have existed in Europe and they sell very well, why in the hell are they not selling them here. Which brings me back to my original thought, why design something cool and then turn around and sell crap to the masses.

Out of all the car companies in the world, Japan is the only country I can think of that gets the concept of giving the consumer what they want and not what the car makers want the consumer to want. Take Honda and Toyota for example. Why do they have such a high resale value? It’s because they last for a really really long time.

I have a good example from personal experience, back in the day me and my Girlfriend at the time had a 1985 Celica GT (not the hatchback).

To be honest, that car went through a lot of stress. We bought it for like $100 from someone who just needed to sell it. It had a bit over 91,000 miles on the motor, which in 2001 was pretty good for a car from 1985. Well in the first year we had the car I had pushed the mileage up to 181,000 miles. I had a lot of trips to make back and forth from Ewa Beach to Town close to everyday. It just kept on running. I will always have a soft spot for that car, because it was good to me.

In all of this I’m not saying that US automakers have made only crap cars. However, the amount of crap out weighs the good cars. A list of good US cars are as follows:

• The Cadillac CTS – great looking car with great handling. If I could afford one, I’d buy it.
• The Dodge Challenger – great way to bring back a classic. I wish they would have made the hood scopes actually do something
• The new 2010 Camaro – another classic that will be a force to recon with. Only problem is that they made it so expensive that there is no point in getting a car that will get you less than 19mpg.
• Ford Mustang – after the Impala ended up a compact car someone had to fill the misrepresented piece car history. The 2010 model is nice btw.

To end off my long debate here. All I’m trying to say is that US automakers really need to take their heads out of their asses and starting thinking about what people would actually buy. Something reliable, something good looking, something you won’t be embarrassed to drive and something that wont kill your wallet even after you’ve purchased it.

I wanna hear what you think so comment below or email me if your shy.

Thanks!!

Alright, on to the party! So I went to Red Lion on Monday and well it was just as I left it, the only place to be on a Monday Night. Oh boy were the ladies in the house. Now thats not the reason why I went though… DJ BETTY SAID SHE WAS GOING!!! SO I WENT TOO!!!

She was having Din Din with her friends Sunny, Dawn, and a few other people I dont remember their names hehe. (I didn’t catch a pic of dawn before she left though)

This is Evita and Emi. They were having a great time! You’ll see as we go along in the post hehehe

Oops forgot this pic of me and betty hehe

Now on to some party people! The girl holding up the four hand was reppin’ level four.

Hello peoples…

This one was interesting… she totally got up out of her chair and sat in his lap (which shouldn’t be weird, but i just thought it was haha)

I wasn’t to sure who was local and who wasn’t but there were just a lot of people which was nice for a change. Not that I don’t like either, its just nice when you can’t tell, that means everyone is just partying no matter where you from!

Nice to see some of the regulars still partying strong!

DJ 720 trying to be sexy and DJ Kool-E

Hmm on the cell phone…. not cool when your out at a club…

…but she got back to dancing hehehe

Now this is a great look while your dancing. It says I’M HAVING FUN!!! (or “Hey! Picture!”)

Ode to Katy Perry in the form of a picture heh. I love the influence of music hehe

DJ 720 keeping their feet moving to the beat.

LOOK!!! ITS DENISE!!! always looking oh so beautiful…

�”�,”にちは私の�-��o�の�<人!!

Hello ladies… They walked by me and I just had to get their picture.

Thats right its cupid shuffle time!!!

To the Left to the left to the left to the left

I think this is right… Kinda hard to tell what step they are in since they are still shots hahaha

The Cupid Shuffle… by far the only dance I truly know how to do.

More beautiful people

This is what we call a fatty potato…

Dancing in style!

Hello girl in the Blue Top

It funny when you catch someone staring isn’t it?

Its funny how i saw this picture and the song i’m playing is saying “Put your hands up!”

Dance and pose… GOOD!

Damn thats sexy…

Now this lil bunch kept begging for M.I.A. – Paper Planes. What they don’t know is that I’ve been listening to that song for so long its nothing new to me. HAHA Still a good track though LOVE IT!

Durtie Rice showing off his war wounds from his birthday… ouch

More Gorgeous Peoples

�”�,”にちは

Thank you Pittsburgh Slim and Katy Perry.

You know I just had to take their picture. Basic rule if you want want me to notice you… have more than five to six people in your party of people (gorgeous eyes help too).

So as you can see, the party was just on and poppin’ at Red Lions in Waikiki. People if you need to relax after a long crappy Monday work day, go to Red Lion Waikiki. You can’t go wrong with $0.75 Drafts and $3.00 Pitchers. Seriously people…

Now on to the bad news… I’m losing my job at the radio group as a IT guy… So its going to be a struggle for CharlieBoy. I guess that even if your really needed as a backbone to a company your still expendable. So if anyone out there has been feeling the effects of the economic downfall I’m right there with ya. If you’d like to help with the situation, please send me an email seriously… Laterz
