I haven’t written many posts this year as it has probably been the busiest, most stressful year ever for me with a few major life changes and other assorted dramas that I didn’t really want to make public. I quit all social media and trimmed the fat in many other areas so only a few people really know what I have been up to.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2481\"<\/a>I honestly thought that I was going to just live out in Kentucky for a while as Hawaii is just way too expensive for most normal people and the commute was way too far for my job, however…<\/p>\n

In a welcome turn of events, some earlier decisions I had made finally came through and the long and short of it is I was able to get another house out here on Oahu!<\/p>\n

Altogether, I have only been gone for like 4 months total. Not only am I still in Ewa Beach, i’m actually ON the beach now! This place is amazing! We were blessed with a double rainbow last night as a early winter weather system broke apart during the evening sunset. How’z these pictures? Aren’t they amazing? (Mahalo Paul for the pro iphone pics!)<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2483\"<\/a>Well the neighborhood i’m now in is known for some of the best fishing on Oahu’s South shore but I will be using this house for something a little different.<\/p>\n

Artists and authors are know to pick inspiring locations to live as it help with their creativity. While I am no artist, I do like to write and have always wanted to start and finish my first book. I have some wonderful roomates to help inspire me. Two of them are my children, and then Remi is here with me. She is my 4 legged best friend who I foster for another human.<\/p>\n

My plan for now after I get this house up and running is to slowly restore an online presence. While I am firmly set in my opinions on many aspects of social media (none really positive), the opportunity to reach large audiences these days is still amazing and I have a favor to return to a man who has become a very good friend of mine.<\/p>\n

\"\"Tomorrow i’ll be getting a pair of webcams online. One I will try to point at the ocean so I can see the beach from my phone when i’m “gone flying”.<\/p>\n

The second camera will be paired with a new streaming microphone!<\/strong> and we’re finally going to start uploading regular content onto the Aloha Underground YouTube channel! I’ve wanted to do this for a while and there will be no shortage of content as I have many stories to tell myself, and many interesting friends who also have their own amazing stories to tell.<\/p>\n

So far i’m probably going to start with Google Hangouts which interfaces well with YouTube live streaming. As I eventually figure out how to use all this technology, I will probably opt for my own content medium over using the free hosting Google-YouTube type services. I might not reach as many people, but the content will be mine. No censoring or banning by Facebook or Google or any other censors.<\/p>\n
