John Muir is the man!

Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of Autumn.

My New Crib

I don't feel like there is a lot of update on. I have changed residences from Rita's house to Jane's*(real name has been changed) house. Rita was really starting to hang with a rough crowd, loud music, questionable movie choices...so I finally felt it was time for me to move to a better enviroment. I have moved in with another person in Kailua who had an extra room for me in exchange for helping around the house. I still see Rita around town sometimes and its really awkward, she and her friends just give me the cold shoulder and get into their Cadilacs. J/k I still visit Rita every other day and make sure she is doing ok. I'll be helping her a lot during the month of July since the people at the house are going on vacation.
My new house is more in the center of Kailua town and its really cute. The people I live with now are really nice to me and I help out all I can. Jane* is only 33 and was diagnosed with stomache cancer, so I help her for a few hours each day and work at the pool and look for real jobs. There are chickens in this neighborhood! And I use a clothes line! And a mango tree! I wake up in the mornings and take the freshly fallen mangos for breakfast and hang my clothes on the line. I just feel so gosh darn quaint and vegan-y. Of course the neighbor with the mango tree probably watches this girl in raggedy clothes and wild morning hair come take his mangos everyday, he'll probably start leaving a bowl of milk out for me too. It kind of reminds me of Eskelito (sp?) the skinny guy on Nacho Libre running in the alley and eating the chips. "Summon your eagle powers"
Another exciting element of my new place is the houses are soooo close together and luckily the house behind me cares for elderly people. So I can hear them all day and all night. One lady likes to yell out how much money they just won on games shows through out the day in a Portugese accent "50,000! We won 50,000 dollar!" And there is a man names George who lives there too and apparently is always up to no good because they are always scolding George, unless that is the name of their dog. I think I'll start throwing in my two cents when they scold him.."Don't do that George.. and I can yell "Yeah George knock it off, we've had enough of your shananigans!" So that is life presently...more exxxxccccciiiting updates to come!

oh hummus...this blog is about nothing.

I just had a hummus wrap. It comes wrapped in a green tortilla, like they are trying to convince you..this.. is really, really healthy. Of course you can walk be all the other healthy people and "That's right check me out with my green tortilla. Hard core health nut here." They skimped on the hummus big time. So mostly it was mouthfuls of green tortilla, carrots and lettuce. I read the newspaper...intellectual hard core health nut here. Slam a chocolate shake while making a lot of noise trying to suck the last drops of whip cream off the bottom. Hummus makes my mouth smell like B.O. It's not easy being healthy.
Then I stop at the library..cuz it's LATE NIGHT AT THE LIBRARY!! It stays open until 8 twice a week for those of us intellectual hummus eaters that are livin on the edge.
