The fourth of july on maui is quite the spectacle… not in the same was as it might be on the main land where they do it bigger and arguably, better. This holiday is about families, sharing, and fun. The fireworks displays are pretty small, but really earnest. By that I mean they make up … Read more
I know you can’t all be here to help celebrate the 4th of July with me and my friends. While that sucks, that doesn’t mean you can’t experience a little of what we’re doing here right now. For your pleasure, sit back and pretend you’re on the beach with us. Baldwin Beach is just west … Read more
I realized today that I have zero self-preservation instinct. I mean, none. Throughout my life I’ve found ways to endanger myself with barely a backward glance at a life lived safely. I’ve jumped from cliffs as high as 50 ft into pools of water slightly larger than a postage stamp, flown on the wing of … Read more
I am both blessed and cursed by smart-ass readers. Leah & Pylorns… little people (the more enlightened name for what you refer to as midgets) are not easily photographed on Maui. For years, the Menehune have hidden from prying eyes and photographers hellbent on capturing their likeness. Please choose a more snapshot friendly object if … Read more

I’ve been stewing for these last few hours about how incredibly fucktarded some people … Read more
Our parking space is next to the parking space of someone who is a cockknocker. This piece of shit can’t park to save his life. You’d think he was a 16 year old girl considering how poorly he parks… at the very least he seems to show little consideration for whether or not we can … Read more
It starts with a tickle somewhere in the back of my mind. The colors dim, the sounds soften, my eyes glaze over. I know it’s coming, but I’ve long since accepted that nothing can be done. “What kind of language is that?” asks a large woman with Jackie O sunglasses and a sundress. She looks … Read more
Throughout my life, I’ve had much stronger relationships with women than I have had with men. I mean, my friends have almost all been women with the exception of one or two instances. At no time has that fact really been an issue. Until now. Since I’ve moved to Maui I have yet to forge … Read more
The red queen and I climbed the West Maui Mountains, through a jungle and over a few rickety rope bridges all in the name of exercise. I ran across these guys jumping off a waterfall and into a deep pool. They were having the time of their lives risking them. Sometimes the best experiences are … Read more
