I like how a simple weekend getaway can serve as a therapeutic escape, like forgetting about life back home. Work. School. People. None of that came into mind while I was out there. All that really mattered was what we were going to eat, where we were going to hit up next and hoping we’d wake up early enough before we thought the day was wasted. When I came home, I remembered it all again. How much work sucked, wondering when I’m going to graduate and stressing out about people in my life. But I guess that doesn’t really matter right now, because no one can truly get away from it all.

But to think a weekend away from here made it seem like nothing mattered at all. That’s a pretty cool thing.
(It’s late, and I’m not sure if this is making any sense)

I have returned from my trip to Hawaii! What I like about trips like these is that I gain an even bigger perspective of the world around me, seeing things I only thought existed in pictures. For instance, I learned that…

There exists water that actually looks clear and is colored blue rather than green and dark.

Not exactly new but a reaffirming lesson that women in bikinis are a beautiful thing – especially if there’s a Japanese woman in one.

People in Hawaii are short, unless you’re a tourist or just a freak of nature. I wasn’t Shaq tall over there, but I definitely felt Kobe tall.

Pacific Island chicks are hot too. Especially if they’re performing the hula in front of you.

Lava looks cool in person.

Everyone milks the ‘Aloha’ and ‘Mahalo’ greetings. Do Hawaiians actually say that as often as I was believed to? Or do they just do that in front of tourists?

Turtles look cool in person.

Even though paradise was great, I still missed home.

Under normal circumstances this really shouldn’t deserve its own post, but hey, I’m so addicted to this new fangled thing here that I’ll write just about anything to make a new post.

Anyways, uploaded the New York pictures my Dad took this summer, which you can see the thumbnails for on the sidebar. They look absolutely amazing, but unfortunately I couldn’t put them all into the widget as the maximum was 10. In the next few days, I’ll see to it that the rest of the pictures can be seen. Dad did good here.

On a completely unrelated note, I just can’t get enough of the new Kanye West album after a week or so since it dropped. ‘Welcome to Heartbreak’ is the new audio orgasm around here, a pleasurable sound to be sure.
