She took my husband’s soul. He went from being a great dad and husband to a liar and user of people. Great paying job to digging in dumpsters for cans. Seeing his kids every day to 2 times a month. I miss the husband before the meth took him. Those chemicals he fried his brain with turned him into a man I didn’t…

Do it now While you Can
Made me think of how this applies on many levels 🙂
– The reckless bike riding days, looking back and can’t believe I didn’t kill myself so many times
– The hazy ‘potbus’ days of China White, sharing works with others, even some actively with hepatitis, hoping cleaning…

Yes, I am this old
Sabrina posted this in our SVS WhatsApp chat group. I decided to save it because, while funny and I got a chuckle out of it, it is so true. And… the photos in it are all reminiscent of times actually lived thru!
What’s Up/What’s Going On (4 Non-Blondes)
I didn’t have any particular attraction to this song when it first came out as a single in what, 1993? I also don’t recall any extraordinary lingering of the song on the charts, on the playlists, radio, etc., after. But I dunno, it seems like there was some minor resurgence of its popularity thru …

Once Again, the late great Rap Reiplinger
I was googling Honolulu events for the next month in anticipation of visitors. I came across this article called Remembering Rap: A New Book Tells the Story of Hawai‘i Humorist Rap Reiplinger in Honolulu Magazine. I gotta get the book. I’m a forever fan of Rap and an admirer of his work. To this day Lou and…

Sweet Caroline
This is another one of those songs from childhood memory that, whenever I listen to it, takes me back to those memories locked deep within the recesses of my mind… to a safe and comforting place. A place where life was so innocent, funloving, carefree. The days that I oftentimes long to go back to……

Atan Jesuchristo
I was sitting out back in the lanai, having a smoke, and for some reason I went into reminiscing of childhood days. I mean 7-10 year old days. Memories of going to church (mom and dad used to send us to church, walking distance, every Sunday) came into mind. And, of all the church songs and hymms sang, the one that …

Those aimless, who knows where I’ll end up, days
I mentioned this several times to some around me about those younger days, cloudy in memory, hazy at best… the drifting days where when I left the home in the morning, who the frick knows where I’d go, who I’d run into, who I’d hang with or get into some shady shit with, what kind of shady…

Landmark Plumeria hotel – gone?
I forget if it was Guam’s todaysrealty realtors that posted this or something else. But it caught my attention. The Plumeria Hotel in Mongmong/Maite. t’s been there since as far back as I can remember, back into my earliest childhood memories. We also stayed there a few times while on leave in my…

Taking me back to a safe place in my mind
I saw this shared on Facebook, and it stopped me in my tracks to sit and listen. And… not really reminisce per se but rather, let whatever memories attached to this song come flooding back. Preteen days, when life was all fun, carefree, safe. Where my biggest deadline was getting to baseball practice on…
