So in Hawaii they call Honolulu town..no matter which part of the island you live. Today I went to a job interview in town. Stick my bike on the front of the bus and off I go. After the interview I decided to wander around town. First I went to buy a helmet for my bike..finally. As I am biking by with my new fancy helmet I see a security guard bending near a man lying in the grass. I stop to ask if everything is ok, the man must have been really intoxicated. I tell the guard that I am an EMT (expired) and I can help if he needed it. He looks at me and asks "are you a single EMT? I think you just inspired me to become an EMT, maybe we could be partners." uhh...yeah maybe, It must be the helmet...well back on the bike.
After this I decided to hit China town. I may never make it to an Asian country in my life and that is ok...I think China town gives you a pretty good taste. I wandered the markets and bought a roll and a custard tart. You really have to be aggresive, I was being run over by little Asian women half my size. I was looking at all the interesting meats you could buy and was thinking if I buy the pork head, chicken feet, a couple of tenderloins and some intestines I could take it home and make my own adorable fraken-pet.
Two dollars and I am back on the bus!

P.S
Oh yeah, and serendipity means finding something unexpectantly when you were looking for something else. It seemed to fit.
Ok for real now
Here I am at the moment living in Hawaii..kind of unemployed or "between" jobs. I live with Rita an 81 year old lady who is a lot of fun and Kimber, a girl from Vacaville. So they closed my pool for renovations and I have been applying at all sorts of random jobs to see what I come up with. In the mean time I help take care of Rita and clean at one of my neighbors houses. Why is it that the people who hire clearners are the ones with houses that are always immaculate? SHe is a 77 yr old Japanese lady and aside from cleaning her house I have also been teaching her how to swim. At age 77! It's sooo COOL! She is also really sweet and took me out to Japanese food, I love sashimi! Cooking is a terrible thing to do to a fish... Off I go to clean...of course the kitchen broom has to be used in the kitchen which is a completely different broom that is used in the bathroom. Not to be confused with the outside bathroom which must be cleaned on your hands and knees. Next question, why are the people who hire house cleaners the ones with the MOST COMPLICATED CLEANING SYSTEMS?!
I have deemed her house, the house of underwear. Underwear hanging on the line outside, and in the laundry room. Underwear sitting on the bed. She hands me a rag to clean with and as I am cleaning I realize its a pair of underwear. I wander into the other room and there she is on the bed taking the tags off her latest Ross purchases...more underwear.
Kimber and I were house sitting for our other neighbors...we spent a lot of time wandering around their house and were really dissapointed when they came home. It's rough not having two beach houses to roam around in. They asked us to clean, again...complicated set of cleaning conditions.
Other news..I'm a racer now of sorts... I have run in two races so far and have my first triathalon coming in May and another 10k later this month. Don't ask me why because as I am running all I can think about how dumb this is and if another man pushing his triplets in a stroller passes me up I'm gonna loose it and ask a fellow runner for a piggy back. On my last race I ate way too much peanut butter and jelly before hand, part way through I stopped on the bridge and hung my head over the side ready to revisit the pb and j but I pulled through ok and finished fantastically in great glory with the 2,000 other runners. After which you are promptly handed food and a t-shirt and can't wait for the next race.
Well more updates to come!! thanks for reading, if I can figure how to send this to people.
