Ok guys why ain’t anybody writing writing.

At least Eric posted us pictures of chili manapua. EEwwll. Just cause Mexicans work in Chinese restaurants and vice versa; doesn’t mean dey gotta cross the food like that. Leave da manapua alone. Eat one bowl chili & rice on da side if you need to. I KNOW, ALL going come out da same way. Still yet doe just leavem’ separate, K. LOL

If you guys like me. And I know dats assuming way too much; but assuming you guy like me - you guys come in hea and look see if anybody wen post someting. Anden wen nobody post notting you wonda - ha’come nobody wen write? WELL YOU NEVA WRITE EDA. heheheheh
Yeah I’m tawking stink about allayouall readding dis.

So I’m sitting at a sorta fancy dinner table with a bunch of other people. One Indian lady says to me:

“You know I was told, Hawaiian people say those who have a mole close to their mouth are royalty?”

I look at her cluelessly because I know she doesn’t know I’m from Hawaii. I’ve never seen this person before. So happens my daughta knows her sista but I digress. Her and I both have large mole - dat sounds like a Rodent - ok, a large beauty spot close to our mouth.

I look at her and say; “I was born, raised in Hawaii and nobody has ever told me that one, I’ve never heard that. I was told it means I’m talkative.”

She looks at her sister who is sitting next to her and asks “Am I talkative?”

Da sista made funny face and looks at us and says “Yes she’s a chatty katty.”

It threw me off because it made me wonder. Where did she hear that from? Plus I don’t remember seeing any pictures of Hawaiian Royalty with a “beauty spot” by their mouth. Unless maybe was da guys had’um and most of’um had mustache, no can see if get or wot? I just went online search for pictures of Hawaiian Royalty and from da ones I saw, no had.

So my niele-ness remains, where did she hear dat from? Some haole made it up huh? LOL

I asked my niece in Kona, try go ask some kupunas around you if dey eva heard of dat. She said, “I going call you NT Royalty!” Lolo. Yeah, so y’all bow down. Nah nah nah no need bow, juss make me plate! LOL

Can you name these two? LOL Ok just one.

These two went to college together decades ago. Late 60’s maybe? They had no seen each other since way back when. They met up 4-19-08 at the Phoenix Indian Center 60th Anniversary Gala.

Ok so its their religion. I believe in freedom of religion. BUT teenagers marrying 40-50 year olds, come on now? A bunch of horney men made this religion up now didn’t they? What, God said do this. Make plenny babies, banish da young boys so a bunch of ugly ass old men can have sex whenever with kids who going have moe kids and inbreed and come out all looking kinda da same. Ugly, I mean homely. Y’all know what I’m tawking about? *L*

Babies having babies. Thats in the bible? Ok yes, plural marriages is part of some cultures. I suppose if all you know is a polygamist society then thats what the normal is. YEAH because they are kept totally isolated from the mainstream world. They are taught anything outside of their family is evil etc. Life as they know it would cease. You figure these “women” do sex to procreate. Theres no romantic. No “good fun.” How sad not to experience “good fun” sex. But I digress……LOL

Texas is going to spend gazillion dollars on all these court fees, welfare whatevers, placement, relocation, shelter and all thats involved in social services. So my question is where IS the Mormon church on this? Are they not coming to the rescue of their fundamentalist cousins. Y’all are related. I think so anyway.

The Fundamentalist, polygamy people is what the Mormon/Later Day Saints started out to be. Didn’t it start out in the east somewhere, Pennsylvania. Ohio or something? East anyway. Didn’t Bringham Young and the Smith guy, they were polygamist and they got kicked outta there. So they then they holoholo-ed to da west, where hardly had anybody. Not even Mexicans and wasn’t that part of Mexico back then. Ok maybe not but anyways….

So these two dudes with their many wives - and ukupila kids found UTAH. Good nobody stay deya us can make baby up da yingyang and do woteva. I dunno what happened, I think its called progress; “somebody” said eh, wait dis ain’t right or maybe dey said “wait wait wait, I gotta feed how may kids?” OK - I dorono wot dey said. Some women prolly came to their her senses said “HELL NO, I ain’t doing dis multiply wife shit, ha’come you get plenny different wahine fo’screw wit and all I have is YOU, and you stay busy banging da younga ones, wotdahell?”

Well weren’t the Mormons living happily ever after till somebody said “Ok stop it, no more 50 year old screwing, I mean marrying 15 year olds.” And da hardcore guys said “shuttup us going stay true to da creaters of this church Young & Smith and us going be like dem fo’eva, us Fundamentalist! We are outta hea. So dey went down southern Utah, way way out in nowheres at the Utah-Arizona state line and they colonized ova deya. Colorado City. Fredonia. Bunch of out in nowheres kine place. There they lived polygamistly ever after.

SO now get TV. Get computas. Get cell phone. Now, the kids of polygamist families are like….wait wait, wait; teenagers & old men? How is that right; married and all. Thats an ok thing?

Ok us not suppose to judge. I not juding - ok I am only lilobit kine doe LOL - I’m ASKING…. How is it ok? Its condoned. Its the environment. Its all they know. Its brainwash. Its cultish. Ok - I’m being judgemental-ish. Do I end up in hell fo’dis? *L*

It has been “generations” that this polygamy thing has been going on. Its been “don’t ask don’t tell’ kine yeah. The mainstream Mormon church, yes Salt Lake City and every elder, apostal or whatever they are called know this history. So they SHUN the fundamentalist like they don’t know they exist and don’t know want anything to do with them. How Christian is that? Should not all the Mormon churches be opening their arms and taking in these displaced people in Texas? There are ukupila Mormon churches. Where I live there is one every half a mile. Same red brick style, with a good gym.

Notice on TV get plenny girls and harldy any teenage boys. Cause they bannish the boys so da old men don’t have competition or da old ladies don’t get something harder.
Ok~I’m going to hell for that one. LOL

I’m attracted to still life or inanimate objects - photography wise anyway. I took alot of pictures of “things” I know once gone gone, it probably won’t be replaced. Not for a while and not for the same price. there are very few people who are master wood workers and craftsman and make things for a public space like a hotel. Unless of course its a custom thing, then the person gets paid big bucks I’m thinking. Anyways here’s some of my architectural photography. As oppose to pic-chas of da wall. LOL

A picture of the moldings around the door. This is the door that connects the Phoenix Park Hotel to the Dubliner, an Irish pub and restaurant. They are known for their Shepards Pie. Its very hearty and stick to you ribs.

This is a closer look at some of the moldings.

I think this is over the door to the stairway.

A look at the ceiling.

Sconce on the wall surrounded by molding.

Ua pau, fo’now.

I was designated photographer of the conference I worked. It was a lot of work. Set up, putting packets together, hostess with da mostest, gofer, runner, copying, revising, do this, no do that, no wait the first one, what did we say. But I think with all the hard work, we had fun.

I had at least two people tell me I had a nice camera. I was like “yes it is sweet.” But it ain’t mines, mine; its the work camera. They’re like well if you’re using it, its yours since you’re the photographer. True dat. LOL I think I took about 800 pictures. Or 788 I think the camera says. Thats a lot. Plus there was a bunch I deleted. I think move too much or something, if theres movement it comes out blurry. I know its me most of the pictures are fine. I need to learn to time it better. I noticed I kept taking pictures of the speakers when their head were down looking at their notes. Junk. I would delete and take one with them looking up. I think I did good. I had fun anyway.

More flower pictures. I like taking pictures of flowers. Or anything colorful is good. Still life. As oppose to ada kine life. LOL

Yellow rose.

Lily? Catalily? Is that what this is called? Pretty flower, anyway.

Another flower arrangement, orangey pinkish roses.

Our Nations Capitol is very well landscaped. Its very neat and colorful. I guess I’ve graduated from pic-chas to photography. I think I’ve taken moe den ukupila pic-chas. Or more like I’ve taken ukupila choke photographs. *L*

One red tulip.

Two yellow tuplips.

More red tulips.

Purple flowers and pink hedges.

Daisy tree? I don’t know what this is called but its not a cherry blossom tree. Or I don’t think it is. The flowers look like daisies to me. Hence, daisy tree.

Cool tree. Octopus tree. The roots & branches remind me of an octopus. So Octupus tree. Takotree? LOL

Ua pau fo’now. Moe bumbye.

Its Cherry Blossom time in the Nations Capitol. For the first time in years the cherry blossums and Cherry Blossums actually coincide. Or so I’m told. Anyway here are some of my “shots.”

Tree tops and bulilding.

Cherry Blossom trees and cop.

Cherry Blossom tree at the Japanese Memorial.

Happy Spring!
