VICE: 2nd Day of Family Reunion: Motor Boat

Juggernaut Log: Hawaii Edition 38

Talk Story: (talk STAH ree): Talk, gossip, shoot the breeze. "Siddown, relax talk story wit' me".

FRIDAY. Woke up and went on my way to my cousins house in Kaneohe, supposedly its the home of one of the Hawaiian shark gods. In my cousins backyard, is a big bay where thousands of hammerhead & tiger sharks live as well.

On the way there, he told me stories about the H3 freeway being sacred grounds and that the military had funded to build it. When they first started working on it, the construction workers would see ghost. Many of the men, working contstruction there, would also quit their jobs. When my cousin in law worked on that bridge, he experienced a fog of mist that swept through the site slowly. Left chills down their spines. The workers would be quiet until it past, things like this would happen while working to build this freeway. Its one of the United States longest construction projects. The H3 freeway was also on the show "Sightings". There was another story about a section of the freeway falling 50 ft down while it was being built. Scary.

Anyways, we also passed by this trail called stairway to heaven. The area we were in also held the battle of Nu'uanu Pali. It was Hawaii's Last major battle. That was also on tv on the history channel. The story between that was that King Kamehameha cornered his adversaries over a cliff just like the movie 300.

When we finally got to my cousins pad in Kaneohe, we saw this pretty sick bike.

We chilled there for a while on his little dock, read some magazines, just chilled there before our family reunion luncheon. On the dock, I felt like Joey from Dawson's Creek, just waiting for that song to play. This song. Haha.

After all that waiting, we headed to the Ko'olau golf resort for our family reunion luncheon. We had some bomb ass food. My cousins played the piano there and also demonstrated some Kali Eskrima. The Kali Eskrima part was sick, my cousins showed take downs, how to defend yourself from a weapon, how to disarm a weapon. Basically, it looked like something that came out of a Jackie Chan movie. My little nephew didnt want to let go of my leg so I dragged him all over the floor. Haha. We took FOREVER at the place because all the aunties wanted to take so many pictures. Every fuckin camera. Really? EVERY camera? Fuckin email that shit to everyone or something. My sisters boyfriend went into the bathroom and while he was tryna piss I shut the lights off and started whisperin "MarRrRrRrRrRrvin", in a ghostly manner. Haha. Yes, I would.

After the golf club, we past my great grandpa Silverio's grave. R.I.P.

My cousin and I chilled back at his pad with the bay backyard. We had bought bottles of bud light, bottles of Olde English, and orange juice. We mixed the orange juice with the Olde English. It was his first time having a "Brass Monkey". Popped his cherry. Haha. We chilled on these reclining chairs, slight cool breeze and just napped listening to island music as the waves hit the wall near the dock. After I woke up we went to Zippy's to get a Loco Moco. A Loco Moco is a hamburger steak with eggs on top, rice & mac salad. Yum yum. Before Zippy's we saw the yellow fire trucks and Nissan Altima police car. Wtf right? Anything can happen in Hawaii. Just sayin.

We all had a boat ride to attend at 6 o'clock at the Kewalo Basin. The area is known for its biggest sacrifices. Hawaiians would drown people there for sacrifice rituals. Crazy shit huh? On the drive there, my cousin told me how he held a rainbow before, he's been at the other side of the rainbow and watched it fall into his hands.

Everyone on the boat had their own stash of alcohol or beer. I took a pill to prevent motion sickness. I think it was probably bad of me to drink and take medicine. Haha. Fuck it. On board, the captain had a dope ass dog. Big dog big bark. On our way to sea, the captain showed us a place where we can feed a school of fish and look at sea turtles. We also got to watch the sunset fall on Hawaii. And at 8 o'clock every Friday, the Hilton hotel throws a fire works show. So we watched them burst in mid air.

After the long journey, we went to eat at a sushi place called california beach sushi n rock. Pretty good food. I had a crunchy roll. Bomb. When we got to the parking lot my cousin had accidentally kicked a dead bird. He was wearing slippers. FHL. Haha.
