November is almost over and guess where I just came from! The beach! Ahhhh..... so good to live in Hawaii!
Mitch has been in Maui for almost a week now and it is driving me crazy! He went over last week to open up three stores for Verizon and has been over there with the big wigs having a good ol' time despite being away from home... but I'm so proud of him for working so hard and getting ahead in the company. He comes home tomorrow, but unfortunately has to go back on Friday for two weeks! Apparently they'll be staying in a bomb condo and it's like the ones you see on the Real World! So jealous! Since he's been gone I've just been working everyday and making lots of money for Christmas! Tomorrow will be my 12th day in a row at work, but that's completely okay with me! Especially since I have Thanksgiving off! Waikiki never closes so we're gonna be open for Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years Eve, etc. We're obligated to work two out of those threes days so I'll probably be scheduled for Christmas and New Years Eve, but I'll definitely be releasing those shifts, manipulating HotSchedules and paying if I have to just to have those days off!
It's gonna be so weird to not be home for the holidays, but I kind of want to be in Hawaii for my first Christmas here! I think it will be so cool to wake up Christmas morning to the warm sun! It's also my sister's 50th birthday and I would really love to be there for it, but I'll just have to deal with it I guess. As long as I'm here with Mitch & Levi then I will be happy!
I really am starting to wonder why I drink so much when I go out... I just don't stop until I'm completely done. Not that I'm slumped over in a corner choking on my own vomit, but more like I don't remember things and wake up in the morning with an insane hangover that takes all day to cure... I went out the other night to Three Nine Hotel for their monthly Fruit Fly event and Sy and his friend Dana picked me up and I had been drinking my concoction of Mandarin Vodka w/ Gatorade so I was pretty buzzed by the time I got there... then i met up with my new favorite, Rajah, who was there for his friends birthday and while there I had a couple of vodka/crans and some Jager Bombs and then we decided to go back to Waikiki and go to Fusions.
So real quick... this is my version of what happened when I woke up the next morning... I remember going to Three Nine Hotel and then after we got to Fusions I decided not to go in so I just went home and went to sleep like a good boy. This was my reality UNTIL I looked at my wrist and saw the huge F stamp on my wrist meaning clearly I went to Fusions that night. How could I not remember that whole part of my night? Not only that, but I remember spending all my cash at Three Nine so how did I pay to get into Fusions? And to make matters more confusing... I found $15 in my pocket! Did I make money that night? So many questions needing answers... but all in all I just need to stop drinking so much.
I'm still gonna be an alky, but maybe just a baby alky and not a full blown alky! So since then I have gone on an all vegetable/fruit/seafood/chicken diet and have stopped drinking soda... I feel like cutting red meats out of my diet will make me feel alot better. I ALMOST went on the Lemon/Cayenne Pepper/Maple Syrup/Water diet, but Mitch said it wasn't good for me and we could find a better method at the store. Plus I didn't find alot of persuasive reviews so I'll just switch up my diet for a while and see how that goes. It's been 5 days and I've only cheated a little bit (taco bell after beach today... i'm so weak!) and I do feel overall healthier!
I have to hurry and make a reservation for Thanksgiving dinner before everything gets booked! A little less traditional eating out for Thanksgiving, but living without a kitchen doesn't leave me much options... Gobble! Gobble!

You can take the boy outta Atlanta...
But you can't take Atlanta outta the boy! That was all too true this past Halloween!
So the night started out great and we got a hotel and had everyone over! Keala & I made hunch punch and took everything over to the hotel and started getting ready. Matt was already over there so we all started drinking and getting ready and one by one, everyone started coming over and the party got started! Pictures were taken, shots were taken, pictures of shots being taken were taken... and then we hit the strip!
Kalakaua was crazier than I've ever seen! We could barely walk down the street because ppl were everywhere and dressed up as anything and everything! It was awesome to see everyone in the Halloween spirit! I've never seen anything like it and I've been looking forward to H-ween ever since I moved out here because I heard it's crazy and I was not disappointed!
Of course we had to stop by Changs and have some drinks! Everyone was dressed up so on top of being drunk, it was a pretty surreal sighting! So... after a cpl of mai tais, we cut outta Changs and after this point... Atlanta E revealed his evil face with a vengeance! But only because he is genuinely caring and when he sees wrong, he don't let shit fly! But... you can decide for yourself.
So after leaving Changs, Keala was DONE. Hunched over sitting on the sidewalk looking like she's seconds from passing out... so I told Kapu, who is Keala's best friend, that she should take Keala back to the hotel and Kapu just wasn't caring. Now Keala and Kapu aren't just best friends, they've known each other forever and are almost lovers... so why can't she be bothered to help her friend in need? Now I know I'm sounding all level headed here... but believe me, level headed was the furthest thing from my character that night. I went OFF on Kapu telling her to take care of her best friend and that she needed to get her fat ass UP and do something because Keala would do the same for her! Kapu was being all defensive and not trying to take care of nobody and that really pissed me off... PLUS Kapu doesn't drink so it's not like she was too drunk. I don't know if it was because she was with her boyfriend... or maybe she had one too many VIRGIN, NONALCOHOLIC smoothies, but she needs to get her act together and help a sister out. Ya heard? So... whatever, my actions are by no means justifiable, but I just know that Keala does anything for that girl and she couldn't be bothered to return the favor. Whattabitch. So Atlanta E told Kapu that if she wasn't gonna help her out then he would make her and stormed off with entourage in tow... leaving Kapu with no choice but to act like a real friend.
So that pretty much turned the night to the dark side for me and the rest is history, but all in all I had a great night and yes, the dirty south came out, but it didn't stop me from having a good time and I had a great night!
But on a real tip, I do love Kapu. I think she's a really good person, but with a slightly evil side. Not like an ax murderer side or anything, more like a sour patch kid.... so the next day I did apologize to her, but the next time I saw her at work we didn't talk. It is what it is, but come to find out, Kapu told Keala that the only reason I wanted her to take care of Keala was so that Keala didn't ruin my night. She is really trippin' now... the only thing I had on my mind that night was having fun w/ my besties by my side and I sure did have Mitch, Dominique and Marque there. Not to say that Keala isn't one of my besties because she definitely is, but knowing that Kapu is there I felt assured that she would take care of Keala, but apparently Kapu was annoyed that Keala was drinking and too drunk to function and now she says she won't hang with Keala when she drinks. Wow... good friend there. Through thick and thin, right? NOT! Realize who your friends are and ditch the bitch. But being that I was the person who acted outta line I just told Keala to be a good friend to Kapu and to treat her nice because she's a baby and she needs her diaper changed. I'm such a good person.
So that's my big H-ween update... and here's the pictures I promised!
E, Kapu & Keala --- before the storm!
Mitch & Sasha --- she is our adorable muse!
Dominique, E & Mitch ---- What more could you ask for?
Mitch & Minions!
Mitch & Sasha again --- They would make pretty babies!
Dom & E --- minutes before ATL E arrived!
Count Mitch & Nurse Bucket!
May-Ling, Tiffany, Becca & Leilani!
Besties Again --- "Why do we look like that?"
E, Liz & Sy --- Hot Trannies!
Best Picture Ever!
