In Part Two of my food blog, I’ll be continuing my list with a handful of restaurants that come to my mind that I feel are off the mainstream path. L & L DRIVE-IN, KANEOHE – BEST STEW I’VE TASTED, PRETTY GOOD ON EVERYTHING ELSE This drive-in restaurant is an […]
We don’t have snow here in Oahu during the winter, we have huge waves! Winter storms kick up the ocean and they create some pretty large waves on the North Shore of Oahu. Every year, there’s always the chance for 20 to 30 foot high waves that are so […]
According to self-proclaimed wedding experts who keep hammering my email, and calling me for advertising money, wedding season is in full swing. Do I believe them? Eh. I have noticed that during a little after Christmas to mid-January, I do get a huge influx of wedding inquiries. […]
How do you feel about sales or specials? On one hand, I can understand how a business can lower prices for a weekend, a day, or even hours, to entice customers into their store during a slow period of the year. Then from the consumer point of view, don’t […]
Picture this: It’s a quiet Saturday for me in Oahu. The weather is not great by my house. It’s storming pretty bad, clouds are draping down the mountain side making the Ko’olau Mountain Range almost invisible. I click on the TV to see what college football games are on. […]
“The pathway isn’t exactly smooth….” Earlier this year in March I reported that one of my favorite locations to shoot, Secret Cove, on the Ko Olina resort was closed to the public due to construction. I’m happy to report that it is now open for business! The developer, Jeff Stone, […]
MOVIE PASS: Subscription Based Theater Movie Going. A+++ I’m a fan of subscription based entertainment. I’m a subscriber to Netflix, NFL Game Rewind, Hulu, HBO, not to mention, my favorite, NFL Sunday Ticket. About a year ago, I was introduced to Movie Pass, but didn’t sign up for it’s service […]
8.12.15 – Hurricane Hilda has been downgraded to a tropical storm and is now headed west of State of Hawaii. It is also weakening drastically in strength. Looks like Hawaii dodged another bullet. We’re not expecting any rain either! 8.8.15 – So Hurricane Guillermo is gone. Thank […]
It was a landmark ruling, not to mention, a very close ruling, but same-sex couples can now legally marry in all 50 States of America. This is definitely a victory for same-sex couples, but just part of a handful of steps before same-sex marriage gains equal footing to traditional marriage. […]
It seems that list are the most common web pages found throughout the internet. There’s the list of 10 greatest movies, 10 fattest celebrities, 10 epic fails, you get my drift. Whatever happened to good old fashioned journalism? Well, like the rest, I’m screwing journalism for now, because I actually […]
Affordable Hawaii Wedding Packages, great photo and video services, easy and fun planning
The State of Hawaii is a signature away from implementing a Climate Change tax. If passed, the hotel tax will be raised to 11%, and most likely this won't be the end - it never is. To make things worse, you're going to add a 4.75% General Excise tax, which literally taxes tax.
It's bullshit - and to all my future wedding couples, I truly apologize for our government.
The money will go towards curbing climate change, which let's face it, Hawaii is so tiny that no matter what we do - it can't curb climate change. Our active volcano contributes more Co2 than tourism. And they always use these funds in all areas of the budget. Climate Change is just an excuse. Our State already raised the GE Tax to pay for our rail, which isn't done. And they took that money to give themselves raises, and to pay for god knows what. The state also paid itself by raiding our Hurricane Fund. They are so corrupt.
Currently, our Governor is suing gas companies for the Lahaina fires, which is more bullshit. The fires were caused by our local government's decision to not manage dry brush. When you drive down all of our roads, you will notice that the government doesn't landscape - anything. We used to. Now they just let it go and use the surplus money to give themself raises, and to give the homeless money to be homeless.
Hawaii is still a beautiful place to visit.
But it's not the best place to live, and you can blame that on stupid people who are in high positions of power.
This state is screwed !! Josh green is an idiot and they keep miss managing everything !! Fail rail proven useless! Bring in doge!! Climate change lol. In Jakarta alone they burn thousands of pounds of Plastic a day just cooking tofu in one village, meanwhile they take away plastic straws and bags in USA ya that helps with what’s happening elsewhere !
Vote accordingly
So sorry to hear that Steve!!
Don't forget the stupid people who vote for these stupid people!
And to the very right, what looks like a flat rock, is our endangered Hawaiian monk Seal.
That's amazing.
Probably some of the most impressive make-up I’ve seen in the past 20 years I’ve been doing this.
