well. i am finally “back” from my trip.

i moved majority of my crap out of bozeman and gave away everything that didn’t fit in the small corner of the garage. now i am living with my old (literally and figuratively) roommates here in hawaii. it is nice though because so far i have been able to squat here for free. my dad and i surveyed the river the other day trying to engineer a sustainable hydroelectric system to power the house. the current system is on a little stream that doesn’t have enough throughput to fully power the house.

a few friends are back. zach henderson probably being the most prominent of them. though everywhere i go, i run into people i know. hilo is small and everybody is same old.

on the political front, i have been getting into ron paul for president. he seems like he is honest and will try his best to minimize the ugly face of politics. my dad and i are also revisiting my idea of giving the vote back to the people. it is a complex problem. if you visit thomas and check out “yesterday in congress” you will see that half of the crap that is legislated is complete crap. most people do not want to be bothered with this. i think it is a solvable problem, though it is not going to be easy. and it is going to be an uphill struggle to gain support. though like the wii, i think it is a step in the right direction.

back on the big island

i really need to do something about the spam comments. i get about twenty replies a day and end up spending more time that i would like sifting through to find rob‘s. when i get back and have a computer… oh how i miss my computer.

spam

i am still in berlin. cheyne left the other day to go to vienna. i met a girl here and decided to stay with her. i feel really lost right now. i kind of just want to go home. or throw up.

i pub crawled again last night because yohana was too tired and i wanted to do something other than just twiddlefuck alone in my hotel room. ended up hanging out with an australian girl that writes policy for the government there. she was cool, but really grilled me about the why behind every decision i made. odd that she also has a twin.

good times.

still berlin
