Wow....seemed just like yesterday I was holding her in my arms and now she's ready to graduate! Where does the time go? To me it just didn't seem that long ago (or maybe it's just me refusing to acknowledge that I'm getting older...lol). I'm proud of my daughter and hope and pray that she will continue to do well throughout her life.
When you think of something "evil", what comes to mind? Is it the ghosts or vampires you see in the movies, or is it something a little more common? I work in a jail here in Hawaii and throughout the 18 + years I've worked here, I have seen quite a bit. Recently, there was a horrific crime that shattered the lives of many people. A gunman, for no reason at all went on a shooting spree and within a matter of probably no more than 30 minutes left a mother of 10 dead and another lady and man criti
I love this song by Metallica ... "Turn The Page". A great song originally by Bob Segar, but re-done by Metallica ( with a twist ). The video to this is sad, as this kind of thing actually happens and occurs all over the world'
Did you ever think of someone and then out of the blue they just happened to call. Well this just happened to me tonight and it is kind of freaking me out a little in a somewhat pleasant way. To be a little more specific on this, I was talking with my co-worker this morning and the topic was past relationships. He asked me why I was still single, and I told him I really don't know why? I told him that I've dated a few women in the last few months, but nothing serious at all and told him th
Well I got to work this morning and relieved the midnight watch of his duties and as usual we pass on any information that has occured durring the watch, well was I surprised to hear of the incident that occurred early this morning! Well apparently last night, one of these scumbag criminals decides to steal a car here in Honolulu which resulted in a high speed chase by the police. Now this isn't all that unusual in itself, after all, it happens all the time here in the US! What is unusual ab
Well my birthday has now come and gone and i'm now 42 years young ( at least I think ) and today while at work, my co-worker and I got on the topic of music. When he asked me what type of music I listened to I told him I grew up listening to a lot of rock music ( now kindly refered to as "classic rock" ), and when I told him I still love the music from "Journey", I saw this blank look upon his face. I said to him "your kidding, you've never heard of Jouney ?" and he said "no".........lol. W
Well after taking my daughter shopping for an early birthday present for her ( her birthday is on October 27th), she decided to return the favor and gave me a great birthday gift. Using her new camera I had bought her for her birthday she sent me this simple photo that says it all.........
Well yesterday I decided to take advantage of some of Hawaii's beauty and thought I'd go for a hike up the side of the Koko head crater ( a dormant volcano here on Oahu). The steep hike is definately worth it when you reach the top, the view is simply amazing.
The Last Fishing Trip
A man was on the water for his weekly fishing trip. He began his day with an 8-pound bass on the first cast and a 7-pounder on the second. On the third cast he had just caught his first ever bass over 11 pounds when his cell phone rang.
It was a doctor notifying him that his wife had just been in a terrible accident and was in critical condition and in the ICU. The man told the doctor to inform his wife where he was and that he'd be there as soon as possible. As he h

A friend of mine passed this on to me and I thought it was funny as hell..........Warning.......has some strong language, so if your easily offended by some bad words, you may not want to watch....hehehehe!
Sometimes it's good to hear some acoustic peices from some of the bands you enjoy. I've always liked the "Scorpions" and this song is great..............enjoy
Well I know I've commented on this subject before, but once again this is about my daughter (Nicole). Today she gave me a photo from her recent banquet, and I must say, my how my little girl is growing up ( not only maturing, but "actually "growing as well.....god she's 14 years old and 5' 7"!!!! ). Anyway, here is a recent pic!!!!!!! What do you think?
How many of you ever really gave thought to whats beyond this little place called earth......here are only a couple of photos taken from the Huble space scope.....enjoy.
Ran across this somewhere, and it's great. It reminds me of the the democrats when they keep bickering amongst themselves.....hehehe. Introducing the new democratic party seal.
Sorry folks, but it's just me here, ol Dan just feeling bad and venting. This sucks!!!!, I usually pride myself on being an upbeat person and kind of warm and friendly with a good sense of humor, but today sucks! I don't know what it is or what it was that made me think upon this today, but I find myself reflecting back on "Paeng"......my ex. People have told me/ given advice to "get over it" and "move on", and you would have thought that a man of my age could easily do that, but "no". Sorr
The IRS decides to audit Ralph, and summons him to the IRS office. The IRS auditor is not surprised when Ralph shows up with his attorney.
The auditor says, 'Well, sir, you have an extravagant lifestyle and no full-time employment, which you explain by saying that you win money gambling. I'm not sure the IRS finds that believable.'
I'm a great gambler, and I can prove it,' says Ralph. 'How about a demonstration?'
The auditor thinks for a moment and said, 'Okay. Go ahead.'
Ralph says, '
